Chief defends delay telling public of mass shooter at-large

1 day ago Welland Tribune

The public wasn’t notified of the mass shooting for five hours, raising questions about why an alert wasn’t sent to people in the area. Chris Grollnek, an active shooter expert, said police never should have waited so long to warn the public about the possible threat posed by a gunman at large. “When we started putting out public information, the priority was to get this person into custody,” Luna said Monday. Several hours later, Tran was found dead in his van from a self-inflicted gunshot, authorities said. Less than 48 hours later, a gunman in Northern California shot eight fellow farmworkers — killing seven — at mushroom farms in Half Moon Bay.

A Maple Leafs team that was — shockingly — having trouble scoring inserted a hungry rookie into its lineup and the move paid off. Nick Robertson, called up from the Marlies, scored twice in his first NHL game this year – including the winner – as the Maple Leafs beat the Dallas Stars 3-2 in overtime. A terrific moment.”Scoring positionGetting in a scoring position this season has been remarkably difficult for the team’s elite stars — like Matthews and Mitch Marner. He also made a number of defensive plays to regain the puck, or to block a Dallas scoring chance. “He plays in a lot of different situation, but primarily, he’s a shut down guy who plays big penalty kill.

Toffoli’s overtime goal gives Flames 3-2 win over Hurricanes

Riding the momentum from the kill of Blake Coleman’s late-game double-minor for high-sticking Brent Burns, Toffoli won it 4:30 into overtime as the Flames overcame a two-goal first-period deficit to win 3-2 over the Carolina Hurricanes. “Our penalty kill had a really good night,” said Andersson, who had two assists. The Flames only allowed two shots during that extended penalty kill at the end of the third while generating two shots themselves. “The penalty kill was unbelievable,” said Jacob Markstrom, who made 25 stops to improve to 3-0-0. Carolina Hurricanes defenceman Brent Burns, right, is checked by Calgary Flames forward Dillon Dube during second period NHL hockey action in Calgary, Saturday, Oct. 22, 2022.

Southeast Asian foreign ministers hold special Myanmar talks

BANGKOK (AP) — Southeast Asian foreign ministers will hold a special meeting Thursday to discuss ways to deal with a growing crisis in Myanmar, where a military takeover last year set off violence that threatens to destabilize the region. The foreign ministers’ meeting will be held in Jakarta, Indonesia, and be chaired by Cambodian Foreign Minister Prak Sokhonn, who is ASEAN’s special envoy for Myanmar, ministry spokesperson Chum Sounry said Wednesday. The agreement calls for the immediate cessation of violence, a dialogue among concerned parties, mediation by an ASEAN special envoy, provision of humanitarian aid and a visit to Myanmar by the special envoy to meet all concerned parties. ASEAN members Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore in particular have urged that more pressure be put on Myanmar’s military rulers to implement the consensus. It is widely popular, but Myanmar’s military has declared it a terrorist group.

On Sunday, Brazil’s bitter presidential race comes to an end

AP Explainer: What to know about Brazil's historic election (OCT. 26 / THE ASSOCIATED PRESS)For months, it appeared that da Silva was headed for an easy victory. The Brazilian president, who says he hates socialism, has had little problem spending vast sums on the poor in the run-up to Brazil’s Oct. 30 runoff. Analysts say that da Silva has at times acted as though victory was assured, a matter of merely running out the clock. Some of it has been unscrupulous, claiming da Silva communes with the devil, for example, part of this e lection’s broader disinformation torrent. Later, the tables were turned as Bolsonaro attacked da Silva on his party’s recent history with corruption.

John Fetterman’s rocky debate raises anxiety among Democrats

Appearing on stage five months after his stroke, Fetterman, Pennsylvania’s 53-year-old lieutenant governor, struggled to complete sentences, and he jumbled words throughout the hourlong televised event. But with so much hinging on his campaign, some Democrats expressed concern that Fetterman’s appearance at Tuesday night’s debate was a mistake. After the debate, Fetterman said, “something remarkable happened“: The campaign raised more than $2 million. Fetterman’s campaign and other Democrats sought to focus Wednesday on Oz’s comments about abortion during the debate. Fetterman’s allies noted that he also had performed poorly in a primary debate earlier in the year before the stroke.

Germany goalkeeper Neuer to defy FIFA on captains’ armbands

MADINAT ASH SHAMAL, Qatar (AP) — Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is set to defy FIFA’s campaign for captains to wear only official armbands with selected slogans at World Cup games. “Yes,” the veteran goalkeeper said when asked at the Germany training camp about overriding a new FIFA project backed by United Nations agencies. World Cup rules require that equipment such as captains’ armbands must be authorized and provided by FIFA, but Neuer said he will wear the “One Love” design even if it comes with a fine. Although Germany does not play until Wednesday, against Japan, three teams which joined the “One Love” campaign in September will play on Monday: England, the Netherlands and Wales. A giant FIFA World Cup advertisement on a skyscraper shows Germany's goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, reading "talent" in the center of Doha, Qatar, Friday, Nov. 18, 2022.

Former Ottawa police chief Peter Sloly tears up as defends response to protests at Emergencies Act inquiry

“The sum total of everything that I was reading” suggested only a weekend event, Sloly told the inquiry. Sloly’s testimony comes 12 days into the public inquiry, led by Ontario Justice Paul Rouleau, that is tasked with probing what happened with the convoy movement last winter. The protesters denouncing COVID-19 health measures grew into a broader anti-government movement, according to OPP intelligence reports. Sloly, as the Ottawa police chief who resigned amid the crisis, has been a constant focus of the public inquiry thus far. He also denies many of the allegations against him, and insists intelligence reports did not predict the scale and intensity of the convoy protests.

ASEAN foreign ministers urge more progress in Myanmar crisis

At a special meeting on Myanmar in Jakarta, Indonesia, ASEAN foreign ministers said their efforts haven’t achieved significant progress and called for “concrete, practical and time-bound actions” to strengthen the implementation of a five-point consensus the group reached in April last year on ways to seek peace. ASEAN, which includes Myanmar, has tried to play a peacemaking role since shortly after the country’s military seized power in February last year, ousting the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi. In response, ASEAN has not allowed Myanmar’s leaders to participate in its official meetings, though working-level officials have joined some. Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi said the ministers expressed their concern and disappointment, and in some cases frustration, with the lack of significant progress in the implementation of the consensus. ASEAN groups Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
