As shown in a video stream of SpaceX's testing which is recorded by residents near its Boca Chica facility in Texas, the craft imploded during a 'cryo' test that filled the craft with a propellant that lowers the temperature in an effort to simulate trips to space. After the propellant is injected in the craft, SpaceX's prototype can be seen buckling from the inside out until it eventually collapses on itself under the pressure.
Michigan, Louisiana and Georgia are expected to become the next coronavirus hot spots in the United States - as the death toll rose by 911 in one day, bringing the total past 6,000, and the number of infections across the country hit 245,000. Those states could be the next hot spots based on the current rate of deaths and positive coronavirus tests across the country, according to the White House COVID-19 task force coordinator Dr Deborah Birx. Meanwhile, the proportion of tests coming back positive in states like Indiana, Illinois and Connecticut are now also ringing alarm bells for health officials. In terms of current hot spots, New York continues to bear the brunt as the epicenter of the outbreak in the US with more than 100,000 infections and 2,935 deaths. The state recorded 562 news deaths and 10,482 additional cases as of Friday.
About 90 percent of Americans - or 297 million people - are now in some form of lockdown due to the coronavirus. Arkansas, North Dakota, South Dakota and Iowa currently have no known lockdown measures. Some cities in states including Utah, Wyoming and Alabama have their own local orders but no statewide mandates. It comes as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is expected to changes it guidance for hot spot areas in the US and urge people living in those cities or states to wear masks or other face coverings outside.
A four-year-old boy was found dead inside his family's home in suburban Chicago after police say he accidentally shot himself in the head while playing with a gun. Officers from the Thornton Police Department responded to a home on Blackhawk Drive just after 8.40pm on Thursday and found Amir Jennings-Green dead from an apparent gunshot wound to the head. Amir was rushed to Ingalls Hospital, where he was pronounced dead about 30 minutes later. Police said they are not looking for any suspects in connection to the toddler's shooting death, which is believed to be self-inflicted, reported Chicago Sun-Times. According to detectives, someone inside the residence owned the gun used by the child to shoot himself. Thornton police Chief Glenn Beckman told the newspaper investigators are 'leaning' toward concluding the shooting was accidental.

One of the cops pulled in front of Rodríguez while another trailed behind the shooter.
The 32-year-old man then stepped off his bike and unloaded his gun, striking the shoulder of cop who was in front of him. Rodríguez turned towards the second cop, who stood on a sidewalk, and miraculously missed each of the shots he fired.
Rodríguez immediately took off running but the hero cop responded with fire, shooting him in the abdomen and buttocks.
Paramedics later arrived on the scene and took him to Olaya Polyclinic, where he died two hours later after doctors tried to save his life during an operation, according to Colombian media outlet Pulzo.
Rodríguez had previously been arrested for aggravated robbery, sexual abuse and escaping from a prison.

Lyon, France: a man armed with a knife attacked people out shopping in the southeastern French town of Romans-sur-Isère on Saturday, killing two and wounding four, the mayor said. The town is currently under a coronavirus lockdown, although people are allowed out to buy essentials. The attacks took place in the morning outside a bakery where customers were queuing, and at shops in the town center, according to Mayor Marie-Hélène Thoraval, who said the assailant had been arrested. Witnesses told Reuters the man struck at random and in several places while moving around the town center. It was not immediately clear if the attacks had any link to the lockdown. Interior Minister Christophe Castaner said security services were trying to establish the nature and circumstances of the incident.
