FOX LAKE, Ill. (AP) — Police in northern Illinois say a manhunt is under way after an officer was shot. A police commander tells a Chicago radio station (WBBM) that an officer was shot this morning in Fox Lake, 55 miles north of Chicago. The report said the officer's condition was not immediately available. The search has prompted the lockdown of a nearby high school, which is keeping children and staff away from windows and out of sight. The superintendent says school officials were told that police were searching for several "armed individuals."
ATLANTA (AP) — Investigators say police officers who arrived at the wrong Atlanta-area home last night for a report of suspicious activity shot the man who lives there and "likely" shot one of their own, leaving him seriously wounded. They say police were investigating a report of a suspicious person in a neighborhood where many homes look alike. Officers entered the back of a house, where two of them fatally shot a dog. Officers also shot the resident in the leg. A police officer was shot in the hip and is listed in serious condition at a hospital.

MOREHEAD, Ky. (AP) — The Kentucky clerk who is refusing to issue marriage licenses despite a Supreme Court ruling against her says she won't resign or violate her religious beliefs about same-sex couples. In a statement, clerk Kim Davis says she has done her job in Rowan County well. But she says that issuing marriage licenses to gay couples would, in her words, "violate my conscience." She calls it "a Heaven or Hell decision." The county attorney says Davis and her deputy clerks have been called to appear in federal court on Thursday morning.
LONDON (AP) — Olympic organizers have promised to introduce viral testing in the polluted waters in Rio de Janeiro where about 1,400 athletes will compete in next year's games. The IOC and Brazilian organizers had earlier insisted that only bacterial testing was required. This, despite an independent five-month analysis by The Associated Press showing dangerously high levels of viruses from human sewage at all Rio Olympic water venues. Meanwhile, a German sailor who fell ill after competing in a pre-Olympic test event in the waters off Rio de Janeiro says he is recovering from his skin infections.
