And in Oregon, 80,000 people were evacuated from their homes on Tuesday as wildfires blazed out of control.

Meanwhile, firefighters in Colorado were aided by the sudden, surprising arrival of snow. Temperatures reached 101 degrees over the Labor Day weekend, and the Cameron Peak wildfire, which had burnt near Fort Collins, was casting an orange haze over the capital, Denver. However, overnight temperatures plummeted 60 degrees, and residents awoke to find snow on their cars.

U. Reneé Hall, the first Black woman to lead the Dallas police force, submitted her resignation Tuesday but agreed to stay on through the end of the year. Hall's resignation letter, which the city provided to The Associated Press, didn't give a reason for stepping down. She did not respond to a request for comment. But she has lately faced criticism for how her department has dealt with protests and violence. Her decision comes on the same day Rochester's police chief and his entire command stepped down amid outrage over Daniel Prude, who died in police custody in a spit hood. Hall came to Texas from Detroit, the year after a sniper fatally shot four Dallas police officers and one transit officer during a protest in July 2016. Police ultimately killed the gunman with a robot-delivered bomb.

Two women are facing hate crime charges after confronting a seven-year-old boy and his Trump-supporting mother outside the Democratic National Convention in Delaware, and seizing a 'Make America Great Again' hat. The pair were caught on camera on August 20 in Wilmington - a few hundred feet from where Joe Biden gave his DNC acceptance speech that night. They were arrested on August 23. On Tuesday a grand jury in Delaware indicted Olivia Winslow and Camryn Amy, both 21, on felony charges of robbery, conspiracy and hate crimes and a misdemeanor charge of endangering the welfare of a child. Amy also was indicted on misdemeanor charges of assaulting a man who tried to retrieve the hat, attempting to assault his mother, and offensive touching of the boy.
