Illegal Immigrant Charged in Triple Homicide:  An illegal immigrant has been charged in the deaths of his aunt, pregnant cousin, and the cousin's boyfriend in an "extremely violent" triple homicide in Florida.  NBC2 reports that 37-year-old Dorla Pitts, 17-year-old Starlette Pitts, who was six months pregnant, and 19-year-old Michael Kelly Jr. were hit several times with a sharp object by 19-year-old Brian Omar Hyde, though specific details regarding the murder weapon have not been released.  Starlette Pitts' and Kelly's 18-month-old daughter was also found at the scene, but unharmed.  Hyde entered the U.S. illegally in January from Belize, where he is connected to several crimes and allegedly comes from a "known criminal family."  Hyde faces three counts of second-degree murder as well as a charge in the death of Starlette Pitts' unborn child.

Detective Hesitated to Shoot Attacker Due to Headlines:  A police detective in Birmingham, Alabama who was pistol-whipped unconscious said he was hesitant to use force "because he didn't want to be accused of needlessly killing an unarmed man."  Nick Valencia of CNN reports that the incident unraveled last Friday when the six-year police veteran, who remains anonymous, pulled over a vehicle that was driving erratically and the driver refused to stay in the car while the officer called for backup.  The officer says that last thing he remembers is "getting sucker-punched in a parking lot.  The next thing, he's waking up in a hospital with staples in his head."  The suspect, 34-year-old Janard Cunningham, is accused of pistol whipping the officer with the officer's service weapon and has been charged with attempted murder.  The officer is recovering at home and says "I hesitated [to use force] because I didn't want to be in the media like I am now."

Sheriffs Blast ICE over Immigration Policy:  Sheriffs and police officers in California and Arizona are blasting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) over detainer policies they say free violent illegal immigrants.  Malia Zimmerman of Fox News reports that while ICE may ask local departments to hold prisoners until they can take custody of them for deportation, local departments fear that they open themselves up to lawsuits; the law does not grant them authority to place an ICE hold on illegal immigrants unless there is a warrant.  Meanwhile, a two-year-old girl California girl continues to fight for her life after her mother's live-in boyfriend, illegal immigrant Francisco Javier Chavez, brutally beat her late July, leaving her with two broken arms, a broken femur, a compressed spine, a urinary tract infection and a 107 degree fever.  Chavez - whose criminal history includes assault and drug convictions and arrests for kidnapping, carjacking and cruelty to a child - is currently out on bail for the attack.  Local law enforcement agencies in California are united, demanding that the law be fixed.
