Murders and shootings reportedly are on the rise in New York City. In the weeklong period from last Monday to Sunday night, there were 13 murders across the Big Apple compared to five during that time last year, law enforcement sources told the New York Post. There were also 40 shootings – a substantial increase from the 24 during that period last year and the highest weekly total in the city since 2015, the sources added. At least one of the shootings was linked to the looting and protests sparked by the police-involved death of George Floyd, the New York Post reports. A New York City police officer also was randomly attacked and stabbed in the neck last Wednesday while patrolling in Brooklyn, which resulted in a struggle that caused two additional officers to suffer gunshot wounds.

In Seattle, a protester was shot during protests. No reports about his condition.

The Utah County Sheriff's Office said the incident happened around 10 a.m. in Eagle Mountain, located about 40 miles south of Salt Lake City. Utah County Sheriff's Sgt. Spencer Cannon tweeted the man was walking on a trail when a bolt of lightning struck behind him, knocking him unconscious. Cannon said the man was walking with his wife, who was also "impacted" by the strike, but not seriously. The man was then airlifted to a hospital by medical helicopter, where he regained consciousness.

An LAPD officer was injured Sunday night after being struck by an arrow fired from a crossbow during a standoff with a man in North Hollywood. Officers were initially called to a residence on Bakman Avenue near Ostego Street around 6:45 p.m. after reports of an assault with a deadly weapon, LAPD Officer Mike Lopez said. Police were alerted to a man wielding a rifle. The LAPD's North Hollywood Division urged residents of the area's Arts District to stay inside as officers negotiated with the man, who had barricaded himself in his home. SWAT was called to the scene, and officers were in the process of evacuating the building at about 10:30 p.m. when the man fired a crossbow at police, LAPD spokeswoman Norma Eisenman said. Officers returned fire but did not strike the man. The wounded officer was treated at a local hospital and released. Neither the suspect nor the wounded officer have been identified.

A Chicago police officer was shot in the vest after responding to a domestic disturbance in the Austin neighborhood early Monday morning. The officer was taken to Stroger Hospital in good condition, police said. He and other officers responded to the 500 block of North Leamington Avenue about 12:20 a.m. because a man fired a handgun three or four times during a domestic disturbance, police said. After they arrived, the man returned to the home through the basement and fired a shot at an officer standing at the top of a staircase. The round hit the officer near his shoulder and was stopped by the officer’s protective vest. He returned fire. No one was struck. Police chased the man and he was arrested a few blocks away, near the corner of Lake Street and Latrobe Avenue, police said. Officers recovered a weapon. No officers were hit and none returned fire. Police found the shell casings on 74th Street, around a corner onto Emerald Avenue, a little more than 45 minutes after the initial burst of gunfire.
