A Black man who was fatally shot four years ago by a now-fired white police officer in Columbus, Ohio, complied with commands and was wrongly killed as he walked out of a garage, prosecutors said Thursday. “Officer Coy was not justified in shooting Andre Hill,” prosecutor Renee Amlin told the jury. Hill then walked toward the officers while holding his cellphone when Coy fired his weapon. Detweiler said she and Coy walked toward the dark garage and had “no idea” why Hill was inside it. Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther has said the shooting was unwarranted and that officers on the scene failed to provide medical assistance.

Remington is consolidating its operations in Georgia, a state the company says is friendlier to the firearms industry. Mayor John Stephens meets with village board members under a seal portraying Eliphalet Remington holding a long gun. The four-story, brick plant by Armory Street and Remington Avenue looms over the community about 55 miles (90 kilometers) east of Syracuse.

The eastern Libyan city of Derna, the epicenter of the disaster, had a population of around 100,000 before the tragedy. A ferocious stormThe extreme rainfall that hit Libya on Sunday was brought by a system called Storm Daniel. The medicane strengthened as it crossed the unusually warm waters of the Mediterranean before dumping torrential rain on Libya on Sunday. The Derna dam is 75 meters (246 feet) high with a storage capacity of 18 million cubic meters (4.76 billion gallons). The Sebha University paper warned that the dams in Derna had a “high potential for flood risk” and that periodic maintenance is needed to avoid “catastrophic” flooding.

Instead, data and child welfare experts suggest the changes may have done the opposite. State child welfare officials say more vigilance in documenting severe cases of abuse likely contributed to the increase. Child welfare experts say these findings cast doubt on the effectiveness of the primary tool that states rely on to protect children: mandatory child abuse reporting. These policies, the bedrock of America’s child welfare system, were first implemented more than half a century ago in response to growing national awareness of child maltreatment. “We are continuing to tell mandated reporters, ‘Report, report, report,’ and nobody can handle it,” Berger said in an interview.
