20% of Illegals Caught at Border Have Criminal Records:  One out of every five illegal immigrants apprehended along the southern border in 2014 had a criminal record, according to the president of the National Border Patrol Council, Brandon Judd.  Stephen Dinan of the Washington Times reports that Judd testified to the House Oversight Committee that compared to the 486,000 total illegal immigrants caught by Border Patrol in 2014, only 91,000 were deported, and nearly half of those deported had aggravated felonies on their records.  He estimates that, based on what he is told by his agents, that the U.S.-Mexico border is 40 percent under operational control "if we're lucky."

Shots Fired at Police within Hours of Threat:  Shots were fired at police officers on Tuesday in Aurora, Colorado four hours after someone called 911 and made death threats against law enforcement in Denver and Aurora.  Bob Price of Breitbart reports that the anonymous caller said "it is time that you guys know we are no longer playing around with the police departments" and threatened "let us catch you by yourself and its shots fired."  No officers were killed or injured in the shooting incident that followed the threatening calls, though the department is still on edge in the wake of a string of violent attacks against police officers that have been carried out across the country over the past weeks.

Teen Charged with Encouraging Suicide:  A Massachusetts teen has been charged with involuntary manslaughter after text messages to her boyfriend appeared to show her urging him to kill himself.  Fox News reports that last July, 18-year-old Conrad Roy III, who had a history of depression and had attempted suicide two years prior, used a gasoline-operated water pump to poison himself with carbon monoxide inside his truck.  His girlfriend at the time, 18-year-old Michelle Carter, wrote messages to Roy on the day of his death saying "You can't think about it.  You just have to do it.  You said you were gonna do it.  Like I don't get why you aren't."  She further added "But I bet you're gonna be like 'Oh, it didn't work because I didn't tape the tube right' or something like that ... You seem to always have an excuse."  Prosecutors contend that Carter's messages show that she "wantonly and recklessly" pushed Roy to kill himself, though her attorney argues that her texts amount to protected speech and that the conversation clearly shows Roy's intention to take his own life.  Roy's family insists that Roy was coming out of his depression and was not displaying any signs that he was considering suicide.  Massachusetts does not have a law against assisted suicide, so some legal experts believe that charging Carter with manslaughter is a reach.

Las Vegas Police Officers Ambushed by Juvenile:  Another ambush-style attack against a police officer occurred over the weekend in Las Vegas when a suspect opened fire at two police officers sitting in a police cruiser at a red light.  Colton Lochhead of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that the suspect, whose identity has been withheld because he is a juvenile, shot at the police cruiser when it stopped in an intersection on route to a disturbance call, striking one of the officers non-fatally in the hand and surrendering to the other after a short foot chase.  Formal charges have not yet been filed, but authorities anticipate at least two counts of attempted murder.  Under Nevada law, a district attorney can try people 13 years or older as adults if they're facing murder or attempted murder charges.
