How to get help • Help is available if you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts or mental health matters. So far this year, 86 police officers nationwide have died by suicide, according to the website Blue H.E.L.P., which tracks US officer suicides. But the number is underreported by at least 25% due to the stigma in police departments around reporting mental health issues, according to Karen Solomon, who cofounded the organization.

BALTIMORE (AP) — The Baltimore City Council on Monday confirmed Richard Worley as the city’s new police commissioner, a leadership change that comes amid an ongoing push for reform of the embattled agency that began after Freddie Gray’s 2015 death. Harrison led the New Orleans Police Department through a similar reform process before moving to Baltimore. While Harrison brought an outsider’s perspective to the job, Worley is a Baltimore native and a longtime department veteran.

During the hearing last month, council members once again criticized the department’s lackluster response.

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Bo Nix threw three touchdown passes and No. 10 Oregon emphatically slammed the brakes on Coach Prime's “Cinderella story,” routing No. But the Ducks' defense sacked Shedeur Sanders on third down, pushing him back 16 years, and Colorado again was forced to punt. Colorado avoided the shutout with Shedeur Sanders' a 6-yard pass to Michael Harrison. Colorado had minus-33 rushing yards in the half — due in part by Oregon’s four sacks on Shedeur Sanders — and just 35 for the game.

18 Colorado rallied to beat Colorado State 43-35 early Sunday in front of a full house packed with celebrities. Sanders connected with Harrison for an 18-yard score and then found an open Xavier Weaver on the 2-point conversion. After the game, Sanders and Norvell shook hands near midfield amid a sea of fans. “This rivalry has been going on way longer before I got here,” said Norvell, who's in his second season at Colorado State. Colorado State put a bye week to good use by finding ways to contain Sanders and the explosive Colorado offense for most of the game.

“It’s kind of like the old saying, when everything’s a priority, nothing’s a priority,” said Jason Johnson, who was a deputy police chief in Baltimore overseeing compliance with the city’s consent decree. Even so, believers point out that consent decrees may be far cheaper than unconstitutional policing. “What we’re talking about is broad institutional reform,” said David Douglass, the deputy monitor of the New Orleans consent decree and founder of a nonprofit group called Effective Law Enforcement for All, which helps communities develop voluntary reforms. In Baltimore, Michael Harrison, who was brought in as commissioner because of his success in implementing New Orleans’s police overhaul, just resigned, but the consent decree remains. Experience running a department with a consent decree has become a plum line on a chief’s résumé.

Gunfire in Baltimore that killed a man and injured two other adults Saturday night was part of a "mass casualty incident," the city's top police leader said. Baltimore Police Commissioner Michael Harrison described a chaotic scene in the city's Upton community, where ShotSpotter sensors alerted police to gunshots at 6:39 p.m. The vehicle, also carrying children ages 2 and 3, struck a pole and came to a stop, the commissioner said. The children suffered head trauma and lacerations in the vehicle crash, according to the statement. In their overnight statement, Baltimore police said it appeared the vehicle crashed "when the driver was shot."
