A split between members of a six-person club called the “Seven Deadly Sins” led to the shooting deaths of seven people this month in an Alabama home that was also set on fire, investigators said. The seven victims included three members of the group and were targeted by two other members of the group who have been arrested on capital murder charges after a two-week investigation, Marion County Sheriff Ron Puckett said. The victims were found dead in a burning home in Valhermoso Springs on June 4 by deputies responding to a report of gunfire. John Michael Legg, 20, and Frederic Allen Rogers, 23 were arrested Sunday in Oregon’s Marion County pursuant to arrest warrants, Puckett said. He said deputies investigating the homicides developed information early on in the case that led them to Legg and Rogers. The victims were Tammy Muzzey, 45, Jeramy Roberts, 31, James Benford, 22, Emily Payne, 21, Roger Jones, Jr., 19, William Hodgin, 18, of Somerville and a 17-year-old juvenile who was not identified.

President Donald Trump authorized the arrest of anyone vandalizing or destroying monuments, statues or other such federal property in the United States. He claimed violators could face up to a decade in prison, in accordance with the Veteran's Memorial Preservation Act. Many cities have ordered them removed, but many protestors have tasked themselves with their removal. Trump said his authorization is to take effect immediately and may be applied retroactively to those statues already removed.

A twisted piece of twine that looks like a noose was found hanging from a tree at Sonoma Raceway in California on Saturday, track officials have revealed. The discovery came one day before a similar item was discovered in the garage of African American NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace at Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama on Sunday, which prompted an #FBI investigation and outpouring of support for Wallace from his colleagues before the start of the Geico 500 on Monday afternoon. Wallace was instrumental in NASCAR’s decision on June 10 to ban the Confederate flag from its events, which was followed by protestors displaying the flag outside the Talladega track. Sonoma Raceway President Steve Page said the item was found behind a former administrative office on the property and that the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Department is investigating the incident. The northern California track was set to host its annual #NASCAR Cup Series race on June 14, but it was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The Richmond Police Department last night declared an Unlawful Assembly during a protest at the J.E.B. Stuart Monument. The action was taken as protesters threw objects at the officers and tied a rope to the statue in an apparent attempt to pull it down – an action that would have put many people at risk of being hit.
Six people were arrested under state code 18.2-406, taken to the Justice Center for processing and then released. They are:
· Paul E. Behrends, II, 23, white male, Richmond
· William G. Keller, 23, white male, Richmond
· Robert W. Wood, 20, white male, Henrico
· Summer A. Orcutt, 30, white female, Richmond
· Thomas J. Feeney, 25, white male, Richmond
· Anna C. Posner, 21, white female, Lorton, VA
Posner was re-arrested after she returned to the statue. She was charged with another, related offense - under state code 18.2-407.
One RPD officer was injured when he was struck on the arm by a thrown brick. He was treated at the scene.

Police arrested a 16-year-old boy last Wednesday suspected of killing 4 people during a series of violent crimes throughout the Washington D.C. area. Michael Mason reportedly conducted the fatal shootings over a 7-week span between April 7 and May 22 in two separate districts. They added that at least five other people were wounded during the spree. Mason denied his involvement during interviews with homicide detectives, according to an arrest affidavit. One of the alleged victims included a woman who was used as a “human shield” by a person targeted by a gunman. Police said the fatal shooting involving one woman, Brea Moon, 21, occurred 11 days after Mason was released from juvenile detention. Mason was identified after authorities used facial recognition software to compare a photo given by a victim with images of Mason on social media. Police added that Mason reportedly tried to sell a .40-caliber gun on Instagram following one of the killings.
