From the US's other newspaper of record, the UK Daily Mail:
Two teenage brothers have been arrested after allegedly stabbing to death their parents, two brothers and a sister at their home on Wednesday night in what is being described as the 'worst criminal event' in the Oklahoma town's history.
Police went to the address in Broken Arrow, a town southeast of Tulsa, Oklahoma, after receiving an 'open 911 call' - where someone calls the emergency number but does not speak.
When officers arrived, they found five bodies - two parents, two sons and a daughter - as well as a seriously injured 13-year-old girl and an unharmed two-year-old girl.
While police have yet to identify the victims, they say the daughter who was killed was approximately 5-years-old while the two boys were about 7 and 12.
A gunman opened fire inside at Lafayette movie theater Thursday night (July 23), police said.
The Associated Press quoted an ambulance official as saying two people were dead, including the gunman.
According to The Daily Advertiser, six people were injured at the Grand Theatre. A witness told the Advertiser she saw "an older white man" stand up and begin shooting.
A lone gunman who opened fire in a crowded U.S. movie theater killing two people was a drifter who tried to escape before turning the gun on himself, police said Friday.
Police identified the gunman as 59-year-old John Houser, a white man originally from Alabama.
He had been staying at a motel in Lafayette, Louisiana where authorities found glasses and wigs for disguises.
"He's kind of a drifter," police chief Jim Craft told reporters, adding that Houser acted alone.
Houser apparently tried to flee the theater after shooting 13 rounds from a single handgun, killing two white females aged 21 and 33, one of whom died in hospital, and injuring nine others before killing himself as police closed in.
"What happened is that the quick law enforcement response forced him back into the theater, at which time he shot himself," Craft said.
Louisiana state police chief Michael Edmonson said they were investigating Houser's motive, and had spoken to his friends and family.
In addition to the disguises, police said Houser had switched the license plate on his car, which was parked bear the theater exit.
More than 100 people were in the cinema when Houser began shooting indiscriminately into the audience about 30 minutes into a screening of "Trainwreck."
One person remains in critical condition in hospital, Craft said.
Houser has been in the southern city of about 125,000 people since early July, according to Craft.
Houser's apparent LinkedIn profile showed a varied career, with experience in investment management, real estate and stints as a bar owner.
Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal said it did not appear that the victims were targeted and said residents were coming to grips with the "random act of violence."
[Mil.com] WASHINGTON -- The Army has warned its recruiters to treat the gun-toting civilians gathering at centers across the country in the wake of the Chattanooga, Tenn., shooting as a security threat. Er huh...what about at Walmart, the gas station, or Our Savior's Lutheran. Are those armed fellas 'security threats' as well? Should we call the police ?
Soldiers should avoid anyone standing outside the recruiting centers attempting to offer protection and report them to local law enforcement and the command if they feel threatened, according to a U.S. Army Recruiting Command policy letter issued Monday. Just a WAG, but something tells me the guy in the photo is 'off-duty' law enforcement. In addition to the Oakley's, guns and gear, check out the bottled water and soft drinks reflected by the window. I'd wager he didn't buy those. Armed citizens -- some associated with activist groups and militias -- were standing vigil outside recruiting centers in Wisconsin, Georgia, Tennessee, Idaho and elsewhere this week, saying they want to provide protection to service members barred from carrying firearms on duty. Four Marines and a sailor were killed by Mohammad Youssef Abdulazeez, a 24-year-old Kuwait-born native of Tennessee, during an attack Thursday on a strip mall recruiting center and a Navy facility that is being investigated as an act of terrorism.
Abdulazeez fired into the front of the recruiting station but there were no casualties. The five servicemembers were killed during an attack on the Navy Operational Support Center. A Navy officer and a Marine reportedly fired at the gunman, although it is unclear why they were armed. It is against Defense Department policy for anyone other than military police or law enforcement to carry weapons on federal property.
"I'm sure the citizens mean well, but we cannot assume this in every case and we do not want to advocate this behavior," according to the Army Command Operations Center-Security Division letter, which was authenticated by the service. Why am I not surprised. We simply can't have citizens doing voluntarily what the gov't is supposed to do, but fails, at great cost.

Finally the Obama admin has come out and stated publicly what we have known for some time: they view armed US citizens as a national security threat.

[Telegraph] Senior health staff who help decide which drugs are used by GPs and hospitals are being paid to work as consultants for pharmaceutical companies who want the National Health Service to "switch" to medicines they produce.
An undercover investigation has found that some NHS staff charge up to £15,000 to organise "advisory board" meetings for drugs companies.
Many of the meetings take place in five-star hotels around the world, with some attendees telling this newspaper that they were taken to "flashy" restaurants and paid large sums while considering whether to "switch" drugs.
Health service staff who take part in "advisory boards" for pharmaceutical companies argue that their involvement helps them to make "best use" of NHS money by analysing drugs and providing expert advice.
However these disclosures will prompt concerns about a potential conflict of interest between NHS staff and drugs companies and raise questions about the impartiality of public sector staff who control budgets worth millions of pounds. Certainly glad none of that nonsense is taking place here in the States.

I lived in Europe for a while, including England, and honestly their health service is amazing.
My wife works in medical administration, that is where all the money seems to go here. For once we should be trying to learn something from the Europeans.
A total of ten suspected members of organized crime were detained and weapons and explosives were seized in Chernigov in northern Ukraine, according to Russian language news accounts.
According to a news article which appeared in korrespondent.net, members of the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU), and local prosecutors and police raided a number of apartments and offices on Thursday seizing 18 weapons, eight RPG-22 antitank rocket launchers, 13 hand grenades, ten mines, more than USD $8,000 in cash, and more than a kilogram of explosives.
A total of ten unidentified individuals were detained in connection to the haul.
The weapons and munitions were said to have been smuggled from the Ukrainian war zone into the Chernigov region by organized crime.
Chernigov is one of the oldest cities in eastern Europe, and was one of the original principalities of pre-Russian Empire Russia. It is located about 30 kilometers east of the Pripyat Marshes.

Member of the Verkhovna Rada, Viktor Baloga, claimed the July 11th gunfight in Mukachevo between members of the Ukrainian Right Sector political group and local police was staged to force the national government to take over the area, according to Russian language news accounts.
Baloga said the government reaction was intended to kill off any political competition in the region.
Baloga's remarks came in the wake of the announcement by Ukrainian interior minister Arsen Avakov that he ordered the unidentified chief of police in Muachevo removed pending investigation. Among the charges which surfaced immediately after the shootout was that local police were involved in organized criminal activities.
The Mukachevo shootout has been reported as a local matter between members of the Right Sector and members of a local organized crime group over smuggling routes into rebel occupied Donetsk and Lugansk. The shootout took place at a local spa, where Right Sector members had traveled to attempt to recruit club members into their group.
Since the shootout and despite earlier claims about connections to the Transcarpathian Right Sector group, the national leader of Right Sector, Dmitri Yarosh has denied knowing anyone in the group involved in the shootout. A total of two Right Sector members were killed in the shootout, another four were detained by Ukrainian Security Service, and 13 more are either at large or are holed up at a farmhouse near Mukachevo.
Baloga in remarks published on Thursday said he helped fund the Transcarpathia Right Sector group since its beginning in late 2013.
Baloga previously has held top posts in the national government of Viktor Yushchenko until 2009. He also was previously governor of Transcarpathia and mayor of Mukachevo.
He added his support of the local Right Sector group was "minuscule" compared to the support the government is giving to the Ukrainian Army unit, the 128th Brigade, now deployed in Mukachevo.

Sociologists and economists are probably psyched that the work they've been doing on inequality and social mobility for decades has finally gotten attention from the average American. But one downside of having your message saturate the media is that people might start to take your findings for granted, which can obscure something that's true of any data-based endeavor: Researchers are always learning new things, always trying to better map the extent of a phenomenon.
In this spirit, a Pew report out today tells us things about American social mobility that are new--and at the same time all too familiar. Scads of reports have documented how parents' income dictates how financially successful someone will go on to be. But this report suggests the effects are at the high end of previous estimates. "One might think we'd have nailed it by now, but there was some uncertainty," says David Grusky, the director of Stanford's Center on Poverty and Inequality and an author of the report.
Grusky and Pablo Mitnik, his co-author and colleague at the Center on Poverty and Inequality, use a new data set provided to them by the IRS to show that in the U.S., roughly half of parental income advantages are passed onto the next generation in the form of higher earnings. This proportion increases for the wealthier: For people whose parents are between the 50th and 90th percentiles of earners, about two-thirds of this parental edge is perpetuated. (It's also worth noting that two-thirds of 90th-percentile earnings is substantially more money than two-thirds of 50th-percentile earnings.)
#2
This is exactly as the elitists and progressive want it to be. They need a permanent underclass in order to hold power, they need permanent castes in order to play class warfare politics, they need permanent divisions in order to divide and conquer.
Social mobility destroys all of those control methods.
#3
It is worse than grave robbing, it's despoiling the dead. Grave robbing is just greed. Wrecking graves to inflict emotional damage is an act of hate and evil.
#4
Digging up graves. Killing babies in the womb and selling their organs. Importing Jihadists. Releasing foreign nationals who are here illegally in the first place and were jailed for murdering the natives. Targeting political opponents. Refusing to honor the killing of unarmed marines.
That is the Democratic party. And the rest of the country does nothing. And that is why the rats run a muck in the barn with no fear or accountability by this generation.
#8
Ebbomosh Hupemp2664 -> the selling of baby parts is right in there with the Nazis pulling the gold teeth of the Jews in the camps or making lampshades and other leather articles with their skin.
The Nuremberg Trials didn't look to kindly on those who did or ordered that.
#9
All they have, hate and envy. However, as they demonstrate, it does sell. The problem arises when the other guy finally takes up the same pitch and uses it against them.
#11
I'd like to suggest a tension-easing compromise:
1. Move NBF to appropriate cemetery.
2. Carve on Stone Mtn., as previously proposed, those Outkast boys (and car).
3. Add, in back seat, NBF, cheerfully upholding stirrup cup, other arm wrapped around shoulders of... First Woman Prez, puffing doob, saucily flashing peace sign.
[Iran Press TV] The United Nations Human Rights Committee says Canada must support the rights of indigenous people and stop discriminatory measures against them.
The Geneva-based body, in a report released on Thursday, stated that Canada still has a lot of work to do for its aboriginals, demanding that the Canadian government swiftly stop discrimination against indigenous women and children.
It also pointed to the disappearances and killings of indigenous women, noting that the Canadian government needs to address the abuse of aboriginals in prison, and offer essential health care services to them.
Many natives in Canada live in poor conditions with unsafe drinking water, inadequate housing, addiction, and high suicide rates. Canada's 1.4 million indigenous people constitute 4.3 percent of the country’s total population.
Meanwhile, the UN Human Rights Committee has expressed concern over Canada’s new anti-terrorism act, which was passed by the parliament last month.
It argued that the legislation grants the Canadian government sweeping powers but stops short of providing legal safeguards to protect political and civil rights of people.

[DAWN] LAHORE: A three-judge bench of the Supreme Court has suspended till further orders the carrying out of death penalty awarded to Aasia Bibi in a blasphemy case that had drawn a lot of criticism at the national and international levels.
The bench also condoned on Wednesday an 11-day delay in filing appeal against an order of a Lahore High Court division bench that had upheld the Christian woman’s sentence.
Advocate Saiful Malook informed the Supreme Court bench that delayed issuance of attested copies of the orders of the trial and high courts had caused a delay of a few days in filing the appeal. He said the court had the power to condone a minor delay in filing appeals against death penalties.
Justice Mian Saqib Nisar, head of the bench, condoned the delay and overruled the registrar office’s objection to the appeal.
Admitting the appeal for hearing, the bench halted the execution of the woman and asked the prosecution to present complete record of witnesses in the case.
It linked the execution to final decision on the appeal and adjourned hearing for a date to be fixed by the registrar’s office.
Justice Nisar said a careful examination of the case record was critical for complete justice.
Talking to reporters, the counsel for the convict termed the stay order a breakthrough in the case and expressed the hope that his client would be acquitted.
He said grave lacunas in the trial and prosecution’s version would favour the convict.
Asia Bibi, a 50-year-old mother of five, has been languishing in jail since June 19, 2009, when her neighbours in a village near Nankana Sahib accused her of blasphemy. An additional district and sessions judge sentenced her to death in November 2010. An LHC division bench dismissed her appeal on Oct 16 last year and upheld the sentence.
The then Punjab governor Salman Taseer visited Aasia Bibi in jail, criticised her conviction and the blasphemy law. A couple of months later he was gunned down by his bodyguard Mumtaz Qadri. An anti-terrorism court tried the killer and sentenced him to death.
Former minister for minorities’ affairs Shahbaz Bhatti was killed in 2011 after he also criticised the conviction of Aasia Bibi and called for reforms in the blasphemy law.
According to AFP, the woman was accused of making blasphemous remarks during a row over drinking water with women she was working with in a field. She denies the charge levelled against her.
Chaudhry Ghulam Mustapha, the lawyer for the complainant -- a local prayer leader -- opposed the petition on the grounds that it had been filed too late.
Justice Nisar said the court would hear this argument during future proceedings.
At an earlier hearing, Advocate Malook said he would ask the court to look at flaws in the case, including what he termed manipulated evidence.
The lawyer said the allegation of blasphemy had been concocted by the woman’s enemies and had no basis.
The allegations date back to 2009, when Aasia Bibi was labouring in a field and a dispute broke out with some Muslim women with whom she was working.
She was asked to fetch water but the Muslim women objected, saying that as a non-Muslim she was unfit to touch the water bowl.
A few days later the women went to the local cleric and levelled the blasphemy allegation.
Her husband has also written to President Mamnoon Hussain, appealing for her to be pardoned and allowed to move to France.
Critics, including European governments, allege the blasphemy laws are often misused to settle personal scores.

[DAWN] The havoc wreaked by flash floods in Chitral took another serious turn when the water supply system collapsed on Wednesday.
There was no drinking water on the day Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Pervez Khattak visited the town to express sympathy with and support the people affected by the flood which has destroyed infrastructures and paralysed the entire area.
The crisis erupted after the Golen Gol water supply project completed only a year ago at a cost of Rs450 million by the public health engineering department developed a technical fault.
But the department’s secretary and superintending engineer Mujtaba Khan who have set up a camp in Chitral had surprisingly no knowledge about the breakdown of the water system.
The Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) is yet to prepare a report on the damage caused to roads, drinking water supply schemes, irrigation channels and hydropower stations. A PDMA official only said the report was being finalised.

[DAWN] At least nine people have been killed during five days of torrential rain and landslides in Azad Kashmir, emergency officials said on Thursday.
The deaths came as water channels swelled and people were left trapped in landslides in four mountainous districts of Kashmir in the country's northeast.
The latest casualties bring the overall death toll from this year's monsoon floods to at least 22, with over 200 buildings washed away in the worst-affected north.
Officials said the death toll and losses could increase because communication from the remote areas had been hampered due to heavy rains.
“According to available collective figures, so far nine people have been killed and seven others were injured,” Zaheer Qureshi, director general of the disaster management authority, told AFP.

[DAWN] Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif in a visit to flood-hit Dera Ghazi Khan on Thursday directed authorities to step up rescue and relief efforts in affected areas, Radio Pakistan reported.
The CM was also briefed about flood relief in DG Khan. Speaking to the press, he said he was monitoring the flood situation and rescue activities himself.
Shahbaz Sharif cut short a visit to London in order to personally monitoring relief activities in flood-hit south Punjab districts.
He was in London for a medical check-up, but decided to immediately return home, a Punjab government official earlier told Dawn.
In his instructions to the cabinet committee on floods, the chief minister called for accelerating relief activities in the affected areas.
He directed the committee to visit the flood-hit villages to monitor relief activities while the concerned administration and institutions of the affected districts should perform their duties in an efficient manner.

[RUDAW.NET] Women rights activists in Kurdistan region have strongly condemned the apparent public harassment of a woman in Sulaimani which was caught on tape and last week went viral on the Internet.
The video shows a young woman in blue jeans and brown blouse surrounded by a group of people, mostly men, who apparently harass her for not wearing a hijab, the Muslim headscarf, during closing days of Ramadan.
Angry protesters took to Facebook to denounce the incident and express solidarity with the woman who later was identified as an Arab visitor to the Kurdistan Region.
“It is utterly shameful to see a woman being publically harassed in a Kurdish city while no legal actions are taken to punish violators,” Kurdish activist and author Chilura Hardi wrote in an article posted on her Facebook page Tuesday.
