Sean Grayson, 31, was convicted in October of second-degree murder for the fatal shooting. On Thursday, he received the maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. During sentencing, Grayson apologised, saying he wished he could bring Massey back. His lawyer had asked for a sentence of six years. I made a lot of mistakes that night. There were points when I should've acted, and I didn't. I froze, he said during the hearing. I made terrible decisions that night. I'm sorry.

He apologized during the sentencing, saying he wished he could bring Massey back and spare her family the pain he caused. "I made a lot of mistakes that night. There were points when I should've acted, and I didn't. I froze," he said. "I made terrible decisions that night. I'm sorry." But Massey's parents and two children - who lobbied for the maximum sentence - said their lives had changed dramatically since the killing.

SAN JOSE Federal authorities have announced the arrest of an alleged accomplice to a carjacking and robbery suspect who shot and wounded a San Jose police sergeant before he was killed last week during a violent downtown clash that ended a multi-county chase that included two earlier police gunfights. Edward Isaiah Macias was taken into custody in Los Banos in the early morning hours of Jan. 22, according to the U.S. Marshals Service, which publicly disclosed the arrest Tuesday.

Two men reportedly fired shots at an elite police unit during a car chase in southern Germany Tuesday evening, causing a road accident in which five people were lightly injured. Officers from the Spezialeinsatzkommando (special deployment unit, or SEK) had attempted to arrest three men, aged 23, 24 and 30, in the small town of Absberg near the city of Nuremberg on suspicion of illegal possession of weapons.

Around 3:50 p.m., an officer assigned to the San Francisco Police Department's Community Violence Reduction Team tried to stop the suspect in the 800 block of 47th Street, SFPD said in a news release. The Oakland Police Department said the suspect was wanted for multiple felonies. The suspect attempted to flee and hit the officer with his vehicle, San Francisco police said. The officer was taken to an area hospital with injuries that were not considered life-threatening.

The right to bear arms has been a big Republican Party issue for decades. Conservative politicians have strongly defended the Second Amendment by successfully passing gun rights laws, such as concealed carry, in every state. Minneapolis shooting victim Alex Pretti was legally carrying a firearm. But top Trump administration officials say he did not have a right to do so.

Today, the violence of this fascist administration is rearing its ugly head, attacking our communities, and we must stand up,

Pretti, an ICU nurse, had come to the aid of a woman whom agents knocked down before ICE members turned their attention to him wrestling him to the ground and pummeling him with their fists. One of the agents then grabbed what appeared to be a holster with a gun from Pretti's waist; multiple reports indicated that he had a license to carry the weapon in Minnesota. After the gun was taken, multiple ICE agents fired shots at Pretti, killing him.

DHS claimed in their statement about the event that the man had been armed and acted as a threat to agents who were conducting an operation in the area. The officers attempted to disarm the suspect but the armed suspect violently resisted. Fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, an agent fired defensive shots, they said.

Federal immigration officers shot a third person in Minneapolis in as many weeks, according to video posted to social media and confirmed by Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara. O'Hara said federal agents killed a 37-year-old man whom officials believe is a U.S. citizen who lives in Minneapolis. He said he had no information about what led up to the shooting but said the man, who officials have not identified yet, was a lawful gun owner with a permit to carry. O'Hara says police have not interacted with the deceased other than a few traffic tickets.

The detective turned on the emergency lights of their unmarked police car to help what they believed was a stranded driver. After stopping, the detective saw a man standing near the car holding a metal object that police believe he had been swinging at passing drivers. Police said the detective and the man then got into an altercation that ended with the detective shooting him with their service weapon.

No other information, including the victim's identity and the circumstances of the shooting, were released. The Sheriff's Homicide Bureau and Internal Affairs Bureau, among others, will conduct investigations into the shooting, officials said. The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office will also conduct a legal analysis to determine whether any criminal charges must be filed and if the shooting was justified.

The incredible bravery exhibited by every officer, especially the SJPD Sergeant who was shot and hospitalized after confronting thedangerouscriminal, was on full display yesterday. Clearly this criminal had no regard for anyone's life and endangeredhundreds of innocent people during his multiple county crime spree. Our officers displayed courage as they ran toward gunfire and ultimately eliminated the threat. The injured Sgt. is in good spirits, and we are supporting him and his family in every way we can.

Apparently, they are protesting the removal of heinous murderers and rapists and criminals from a city that I can guarantee you, when you look at the list of the illegal criminals that ICE is removing from our communities every day, not a single person in those protests, and not a single person standing here that works in the mainstream media in Washington, D.C., would want those individuals in your neighborhood, in your community, around your children and around your families.

It should be obvious by now that the Trump administration's effort to remove large numbers of people who entered the country illegally is not only built on lies, but is doing far more harm than good. There is clear public support for Trump's effort to secure the border, but immigration reform has three parts, not one. It must include fixing the asylum system and creating more paths to legal status.

The man police shot and killed inside a Brooklyn hospital Thursday evening was a former NYPD officer who had barricaded himself in a room and threatened to kill two people with a broken part of a hospital toilet, authorities said. Michael Lynch, 62, of Fort Greene, Brooklyn, resigned from the NYPD in the 1990s, according to police officials and his family. Police said they did not know why Lynch was at the hospital Thursday and were still investigating the circumstances that led to the confrontation.
