Over 13 public school teachers have been arrested in the Portland riots. Many of them are elementary school teachers.
There has been a reduction in homicides and shooting incidents in Chicago since the city's police force launched two units aimed at specifically combating gun violence and ensuring protests. Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown said 'tenuous progress' has been made in the department's efforts to stem gun violence. There were three homicides over the weekend compared to 12 and eight the previous two weekends and 17 over the July Fourth weekend, Brown said at a news conference. That compares to 41 the previous weekend, 50 the weekend before that and 87 during the long Independence Day weekend. On Monday morning, a 10-month-old baby also ended up in critical condition after being shot on the Bishop Ford Expressway on the South Side. The girl was shot while in the back seat of a northbound car on I-94 at 115th Street, according to Illinois State Police. The driver heard a single gunshot at 11:15 a.m., and then noticed the infant was injured.

Horrifying. This family will never be the same.
A man from Nevada was killed and his son was seriously injured over the weekend after multiple lightning strikes on a reservoir in California left several hurt. The incident happened Saturday afternoon at the Stampede Reservoir in Sierra County, located northwest of Truckee, as thunderstorms were reported in the area. Officials told FOX11 that Eugene Arao, 47, was on a jet ski on the reservoir with his son nearby when they were struck by lightning. The death in California was also the 6th jet ski-related fatality in the U.S. since 2006. Between 2006 and 2019, a review of some 418 fatal lightning strikes found that 62 percent of deaths were linked to leisure activities. Activities where people may be outside and not know if a storm is approaching when they are camping or fishing because they are using a motor on a boat that drowns out the sound of thunder are factors to consider.
A brawl broke out among several people at the guitar-shaped Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla. leads to multiple arrests. The incident reportedly took place Friday at the hotel and involved around 10 to 15 people, many of whom were dressed in swimwear and most were wearing masks. The group engaged in a minutes-long fight spanning a corridor inside the Hard Rock hotel. The violence continues for more than three minutes. Security and employees appear to attempt to break up the brutal brawl, but are seemingly unable. It is unclear what prompted the vicious fight, but court records reported by the Sun-Sentinel claim Manuel Aguilar, 26, of Miami, was the “primary aggressor.” According to the reports, he hit another man from behind, which led to the #brawl. Aguilar was reportedly arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and possession of oxycodone.
An officer of the National Guard is expected to invoke whistleblower protection at Tuesday's House hearing probing the use of force during a protest in Washington, D.C.'s Lafayette Square last month, pitting him against President Trump and the acting chief of the U.S. Park Police, who have polar opposite accounts of the same incident, FOX NEWS reported. National Guard Maj. Adam DeMarco said the warnings by officers – required by law – that the park was going to be cleared of hundreds of demonstrators, who he says we largely peaceful, were “barely audible” from his position 20 yards away, according to his pre-written testimony to House Natural Resources Committee. DeMarco is expected to invoke the Military Whistleblower Protection Act, which in part says that no one can block a member of the armed forces from lawful communications with Congress.
