Gunman Intended to Die in MD Attack that Killed Officer: An autopsy of the Maryland police officer fatally wounded in the line of duty Sunday revealed that he was inadvertently shot by another officer during a shootout with a gunman who ambushed a police station in an "unprovoked attack." Emily Shapiro of ABC News reports that 28-year-old Prince George's County Officer Jacai Colson, a four-year veteran who would have turned 29 this week, arrived at the police station after a gunman intent on dying at the hands of police began opening fire. Gunfire was then exchanged between four officers, including Colson, and the 22-year-old shooter Michael DeAndre Ford, who sustained non-life threatening injuries. Michael Ford and his two brothers, 21-year-old Malik Ford and 18-year-old Elijah Ford, recorded Michael's last will and testament on a cell phone video minutes before heading to the police station with a plan to die by "suicide by cop" and record the incident. All three brothers are expected to be charged with second degree murder, six counts of attempted first degree murder, nine counts of using a handgun in the commission of a felony and additional charges.

NYC to Improve Violent Conditions in Homeless Shelters: The prevalence of violent incidents inside New York City's homeless shelters was revealed for the first time in a report released Monday, prompting City Hall to call for plans to have the NYPD retrain Department of Homeless Services officers and ramp up security.
