Two MD Officers Shot and Killed: Two Maryland sheriff's deputies were fatally shot Wednesday afternoon during an incident that began in a crowded restaurant, and the shooter was also killed. Justin Jouvenal and Dana Hedgpeth of the Washington Post report that Deputy Patrick Dailey, a 30-year veteran of the Harford County Sheriff's Department, and Senior Deputy Mark Logsdon, with the office for 16 years, were shot and killed by David Brian Evans, who was being sought by Dailey for an arrest warrant from Florida for assaulting a police officer there. Dailey approached Evans in the crowded restaurant and was shot "almost immediately" in the head. Evans fled to the parking lot and got into his vehicle, where he fired shots at Logsdon, among the first on the scene, striking him. Logsdon managed to return at least three rounds while other deputies arriving on the scene also opened fire, killing Evans. Last year, three Maryland officers were lost in the line of duty; nationwide, 124 officers died in the line of duty, 42 of whom were shot. The gunman's son alleges his father suffered emotional problems.
ND Officer Not Expected to Survive After Being Shot: A Fargo police officer sustained a "non-survivable" wound Wednesday evening during an 11-hour standoff with a domestic violence suspect, who also died. Fox News reports that the incident began around 7 p.m. when a 911 call was placed by an individual who said his father had possibly fired a gun at his mother, and 33-year-old Officer Jason Moszer responded to the scene. The suspect, who had barricaded himself inside the home, fired multiple shots out of the house, hitting Moszer. The suspect was discovered dead early Thursday in his home from a gunshot wound, though police have not yet determined if it was self-inflicted or from officers engaging him. No one else is believed to have been injured.
U.S. Cartel Violence Victims Suing Banks: U.S. victims and family members of cartel violence have filed a lawsuit against banking leader HSBC and its multiple subsidiaries, claiming that these financial institutions "have provided material support to Mexican drug cartels by allowing them to launder billions of dollars leading to their explosive growth." Ildefonso Ortiz of Breitbart reports that the lawsuit states that in the process of money laundering, which involves concealing drug money to make it appear as though it came from a legitimate business, the HSBC knowingly provided material support to drug cartels while making a profit. Since the 1980s and 1990s, when drug trafficking routes shifted toward Mexico, the Mexican cartels have steadily developed into multinational criminal organizations and "mobilized into sophisticated international networks."
