NEW YORK (AP) — A person familiar with operations at the federal jail where Jeffrey Epstein killed himself says one of the two people guarding him the night he died wasn't a correctional officer. The person wasn't authorized to disclose information about the investigation and spoke on condition of anonymity. The person said Epstein hanged himself with a bedsheet, days after being taken off a suicide watch.
HONG KONG (AP) — Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam has defended law enforcement actions after protesters prompted an airport shutdown with calls to investigate alleged police brutality. Airlines were checking in passengers for flights, including those cancelled the previous day because thousands of pro-democracy demonstrators had packed into the airport's main terminal. Lam says dialogue would only begin when the violence stopped.
DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — Federal agents say a longtime friend of the Dayton gunman bought the body armor, a 100-round magazine, and a key part of the gun used in the shooting. But there's no indication that the man knew that his friend was planning a massacre. Ethan Kollie first spoke with investigators just hours after the attack and later said he kept the equipment at his apartment, so Connor Betts' parents would not find it. Kollie's attorney says his client was as shocked as anyone by the assault.
TORONTO (AP) — Canadian police said Monday they believe two teenage fugitives suspected of killing a North Carolina woman, her Australian boyfriend and another man took their own lives amid a nationwide manhunt.
