(WARNING: 21+) The #NYPD has released bodycam footage of a January officer-involved shooting in Manhattan in which a man killed another man before being fatally shot by police. It happened around 3:40 a.m. on January 9 at Avenue A and East 7th Street, near the southwest corner of Tompkins Square Park. The NYPD says two uniformed officers were on patrol in the park when they heard gunshots and saw one man shooting at another. The officers gave numerous commands for the shooter to get onto the ground, and when he refused, they fired three times, fatally wounding the gunman. Both the suspect and the man who had been shot by the suspect were taken to Bellevue Hospital, where both were pronounced dead. Law enforcement identified the shooter as 37-year-old Earl Facey, who they say killed 41-year-old Richard Reed before being shot by the officers. Police say both men are reputed gang members and have been linked to prior shootings. #shooting

Increasingly troubled about the role the self-proclaimed visionary and healer might play in the presidential race, intelligence experts expressed concerns Friday that Volokov Molchalin, the pale Russian mystic constantly at President Donald Trump’s side, may attempt to influence the 2020 election, the Onion write. “While we’re unsure exactly what Volokov is whispering into Trump’s ear-or if it’s a known language at all-it’s the consensus of the intelligence community that he likely intends to meddle in the upcoming election, perhaps by using his self-professed hypnotic powers to sway the American public,” said National Intelligence Director Joseph Maguire, noting that the long-bearded Eastern Orthodox prophet had enjoyed unprecedented access to the Oval Office since laying his hands on the president’s thigh in early June and allegedly curing him of an internal hemorrhage. #mystery #facepalm

Thousands of people, including designer Vivienne Westwood and Pink Floyd bassist Roger Waters, have gathered in London, UK, to protest against the extradition of Julian Assange and demand that he be released. The Wikileaks founder has been held on remand in Belmarsh since last September after serving a 50-week jail sentence for breaching his bail conditions while he was in the Ecuadorian embassy in London. He entered the building in 2012 to avoid extradition to Sweden over sex offence allegations, which he has always denied and were subsequently dropped. The 48-year-old is wanted in the US to face 18 charges, including conspiring to commit computer intrusion, over the publication of US cables a decade ago. If found guilty he could face up to 175 years in jail.
