Friday's deadly shooting at Naval Air Station Pensacola in the Florida Panhandle was "an act of terrorism,” U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., who represents the area, said in a television interview. “This was not a murder,” he told Pensacola's WEAR-TV, referring to the deaths of three people at the U.S. military facility. Gaetz said the FBI's involvement in the investigation into the shooting indicated the case was being treated as terrorism, although officials have said they're still trying to determine if the shooting fits the definition.

Hong Kong’s new police commissioner said on Saturday his force would take a flexible approach to pro-democracy demonstrations as the city gears up for a rally on Sunday that is expected to draw a huge crowd, Reuters reports. Chris Tang was appointed last month upon his predecessor’s retirement and amid six months of sometimes violent anti-government protests in Chinese-ruled Hong Kong. He was speaking in Beijing on a “courtesy visit” during which he briefed top officials in charge of public security, legal and Hong Kong affairs. “We will use both the hard and soft approach. We will be stringent on illegal violent actions such as throwing of petrol bombs, acid,” Tang told reporters in Beijing. Police have given a rare green light to the demonstration planned for Sunday by the Civil Human Rights Front (CHRF) group, which organized largely peaceful million-strong marches in the summer. #HK
