Car Plows into Vegas Crowd, Kills One:  A homeless Oregon woman who had been living in her car with her toddler in Las Vegas for one week has been charged with intentionally plowing her vehicle into a crowd of pedestrians on a busy section of the Las Vegas Strip several times on Sunday night, killing one and injuring 37.  Fox News reports that the driver, identified as 24-year-old Lakeisha Holloway, had her three-year-old child in tow when she "went up and off [the] streets," two or three times at 30 to 40 mph into multiple crowds of pedestrians.  An Arizona woman, 32-year-old Jessica Valenzuela, vacationing with her husband was identified as the fatality.  Holloway was apprehended away from the scene and taken into custody, where she was booked on charges including murder, first degree child abuse or neglect and failing to stop at the scene of an accident.  LVMPD Deputy Chief Brett Zimmerman said that the tragic incident, while deliberate, was not an act of terrorism.

Gangs Move from Drugs to White-Collar Crimes:  Law enforcement officials say street gangs are notably transitioning away from crimes like drug and gun running to white-collar crimes such as identity theft and credit card fraud, "giving up the old ways of making an illicit income in exchange for easier crimes with shorter sentences."  Colleen Long of the AP reports that last week, New York Police Commissioner William Bratton wrote an editorial describing the "astonishing degree" of white-collar crimes committed by gang members.  Federal officials in Florida have seen more gang members arrested for such offenses.  Al Pasqual, director of fraud security at the consulting firm Javelin Strategy and Research, says that some of the appeal stems from the resulting prison sentence, noting that selling crack can bring about 10 years under federal minimums while white-collar crimes can carry less than a year.  The challenges come as gangs grow more organized, recruiting people to help steal devices and cash checks, moving from scam to scam as authorities close in and passing the knowledge along to each other.  In New York City, home to the nation's largest police department, the grand larceny division now works closely with detectives from the gang unit to tackle the new and rising problem.

No Proof SB Terrorists Met Before Visa Issued:  After reviewing the full immigration file, a House Judiciary Committee revealed that the two San Bernardino terrorists were approved for a fiancĂ© visa despite there being no concrete proof they had ever met in person, which is one of the visa's requirements.  Stephen Dinan of the Washington Times reports that the Obama administration insists it followed proper procedures and saw no red flags that would have prevented the approval of Tashfeen Malik's K-1 visa, which allowed her to enter the U.S., marry Syed Farook and, earlier this month, go on a shooting rampage at Farook's workplace, killing 14 and wounding 22.  But Republicans and Democrats alike argue that there were signs that should have raised questions, including messages Malik exchanged on social media and an inaccurate address on her application.  The latest information shows that the only evidence the couple had of meeting was a statement provided by Farook saying that the two met in Saudi Arabia and copies of pages from their passports showing entry and exit stamps, which, even if true, is not sufficient proof of meeting.  Immigration officials have discussed adding or changing timing of interviews and broadening their social media screening to strengthen the vetting process.
