MONROVIA, Liberia (AP) — The last known doses of an experimental Ebola drug are now in the West African country of Liberia. And health officials there are facing an excruciating choice, as they try to decide which few Ebola patients will get the drug. The government had already said two doctors would be among those receiving the treatment, but it's not clear who else will get it. According to the World Health Organization, Ebola has killed more than half of the nearly 2,000 people who've been sickened in the current outbreak.
FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) — The hacker group Anonymous has released the name of the person that it says is the officer who shot and killed 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. The Associated Press has not been able to verify the name. Police and prosecutors have declined to name the officer, citing concerns that his life, and the lives of his relatives, could be endangered if his identity is made public. St. Louis County police and the FBI are investigating the shooting. A prosecutor said yesterday it could be several weeks before the investigation wraps up and authorities decide whether to charge the officer.

(AP) — Mourners have gathered at an upstate New York high school for the funeral of Kevin Ward Jr., the dirt-track racer killed during a race last weekend when he was struck by a car driven by NASCAR champion Tony Stewart. Members of Ward's family followed the casket into the school -- some of them dressed in black and orange, Ward's racing colors.

BRENTWOOD, N.H. (AP) — A New Hampshire man has been sentenced to up to 67 years in prison for beating and burning his girlfriend's 3-year-old son, then going to the Universal Orlando Resort in Florida.

The mother is serving up to seven years.
