Bodycam Shows Armed Man Running at Michigan Deputy Before Being Shot

Body-camera and surveillance footage released by the Eaton County Sheriff’s Office in Michigan appeared to show a suspect running at a deputy before he was shot. The body-camera footage showed the suspect getting very close to the deputy before trying to grab her. She then opened fire as the suspect dropped his knife before he tried to pick it up again. At one point, it appears her gun jammed before she fired again as the suspect attempted to grab the weapon from the ground. Officials told local media that the deputy, who worked in the sheriff’s office for 23 years, feared for her life during the encounter.

NSW Coast Clean-Up Continues After Spill

Crews are continuing to clean up face masks and plastic food containers along the NSW coastline almost two months after聽50 shipping containers were lost off the APL England.

The containers went overboard the Singapore-flagged ship in heavy seas south of Sydney on May 24.

By early June 16 of the 50 containers had been accounted for with聽45 beaches inspected and cleaned.

Clean-up crews led by NSW Maritime have been deployed once again after a number of confirmed sightings of more debris from the ship on Wednesday and Thursday, a statement from Transport for NSW said.

Sea conditions and recent wild weather seem to have stirred up containers on the ocean floor,聽NSW Maritime acting executive director Alex Barrell said.

“We have multiple teams now cleaning up the shipping container parts, face masks and plastic food containers which have recently washed up at Cronulla and Boat Harbour, and around the Royal National Park at Burning Palms, Garie and Era Beaches,” Barrell said in a statement on Thursday.

Debris has also washed ashore at Forresters Beach and Maitland Bay on the state’s Central Coast and as far away as Lord Howe Island, he said.

He urged skippers to remain vigilant and keep a lookout for submerged, semi-submerged or floating container pieces.

Modelling is being used to figure out the likely impacts and as a result increased inspections are being performed.
