North Miami Beach Police and Miami-Dade Fire Rescue units responded to the tracks at Northeast 171 Street and Dixie Highway just before 4.15pm. The incident took place on Tuesday afternoon in North Miami Beach where a Mini Cooper drove past the railroad crossing and ended up stranded in the tracks, smack in the path of the Brightline train. The car rolled forward and was struck head on by the train. No one was injured.

A pickup truck slammed into an Illinois Starbucks, injuring several people and causing massive damage to the coffee shop, police said. Patrick Polidori, public affairs officer for McHenry police, told The Associated Press that the driver and four people inside the cafe were injured. Fire and rescue personnel extracted one person from beneath the vehicle, police said in a statement. Police said it wasn't known why the Dodge Ram ran off the roadway in McHenry, about 50 miles northwest of Chicago, and struck a vehicle at the drive-thru window before colliding with the building. The police department closed a portion of Route 120 after the crash and advised motorists to avoid the area.

Nearly a quarter of the world's countries saw a dramatic surge in civil unrest last year, a trend that is likely to continue into 2020, a new study has warned. Analysts predict that as many as 75 nations will see violence and demonstrations break-out this year, according to the report published today. Hong Kong, Chile, Nigeria, Sudan, Haiti and Lebanon were among the 47 states that saw significant rise in protests in 2019. But data published by socio-economic and political analysis firm Verisk Maplecroft, predicted that this year will see that number increase to 75 countries. Hong Kong and Chile were deemed the world's 'riskiest locations' in terms of the severity and frequency of protests since the beginning of last year. The report also predicted that the situation was unlikely to improve in either country over the next two years. Countries categorised as 'extreme risk' included Ethiopia, India, Pakistan and Zimbabwe. 🌐

Yes Its Real: Nagant Hatchet Shoulder Stock

This is an original Russian M1895 7.62mm Nagant revolver which was modified in 1905 for use by Imperial Russia Naval boarding parties. The hatchet could be attached to act as a shoulder stock for the revolver or it could be removed and used by itself as a weapon or tool. Very unique piece! What do you think? More practical than the typical wooden shoulder stocks typically seen on pistols from this time period?

BREAKING NEWS! Four members of a family were killed and one injured in a shooting Friday night in a Salt Lake City suburb. The suspected shooter was taken into custody by Grantsville police, the Deseret News reported. Grantsville Mayor Brent Marshall said the victims and the shooter are all related. “It’s an unfortunate tragedy that has taken place here this evening,” Marshall said. “And I’m sure it will take days or even longer to try and piece together what brought all of this one and why it happened, if we ever get to know why it happened. It’s upsetting. This is normally a very quiet neighborhood, and any time you have children involved in something, it becomes very emotional, very fast.” Police didn’t release the names of the victims or the suspected shooter, who was arrested shortly after police arrived at the home just after 7 p.m. Friday.
