1 dead, 1 injured after dispute between neighbours at Yishun HDB block
The police and the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said they were contacted about an incident at Block 334B Yishun Street 31 at about 5.20pm.
'When officers arrived, they found an injured 53-year-old man in his residential unit and a 44-year-old man lying motionless at the foot of the block,' police said.
'Preliminary investigations revealed that the men, who are neighbours residing at the said block, were involved in a prior dispute along the corridor. Arising from the dispute, the 44-year-old man allegedly injured the 53-year-old man with a knife.'
The 44-year-old man was subsequently found lying motionless at the foot of the block and was pronounced dead at the scene by an SCDF paramedic.
The police said they do not suspect foul play, based on preliminary investigations.
In photos of the incident, a blue police tent is seen erected on a grass patch on the first floor of the block, with the surrounding area cordoned off with police tape.
Chinese daily Lianhe Zaobao reported a female resident on the fourth floor saying that she heard a loud noise, and then saw an elderly man with abdominal injuries when she peered out of her flat.
The 53-year-old man was conscious when taken to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital.
Police investigations are ongoing.

Suspect in Michigan Walmart stabbings is charged with a rarely used state terrorism count
Suspect in Michigan Walmart stabbings is charged with a rarely used state terrorism count DETROIT (AP) — A Michigan prosecutor filed a terrorism charge Monday against a man accused of stabbing 11 people at a Walmart store. The charge has been rarely used in the state's courts since it was adopted more than 20 years ago during the national outrage over 9/11. Grand Traverse County Prosecutor Noelle Moeggenberg said she believes the charge fits because the weekend attack was intended to 'put fear in the entire community and to change how maybe we operate on a daily basis.' But proving that could be difficult. Bradford Gille, 42, has a history of mental health problems. A judge signed an order Friday, the day before the attack, telling police to find him and take him to a hospital because he was considered a risk to himself or others. Police said they were unable to find him. Moeggenberg also filed attempted murder charges, one for each Walmart stabbing victim. A not-guilty plea was entered for Gille, and bond was set at $100,000. A look at Michigan's terrorism law: Lawmakers respond to 9/11 The Michigan Legislature in 2002 created and amended a stack of anti-terrorism laws after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks in New York and Washington. A terrorism crime is defined as an act "intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population or influence or affect the conduct of government or a unit of government through intimidation or coercion.' A conviction carries a sentence of up to life in prison. 'I don't see the prosecutor being able to establish this,' sad Margaret Raben, a Detroit-area lawyer who has served as president of a statewide association of defense attorneys. 'It seems to have been a random thing, and the fact that he injured 11 people doesn't make it any less random." Gille's mental health will be an issue. He'll likely be evaluated to determine if he understands the charges and can assist his lawyer. Experts will also determine if he can be held criminally responsible. In 2016, Gille was accused of smashing a cemetery vault that had not yet been covered with grass, one of many encounters with local police over many years. He was found not guilty by reason of insanity, according to Emmet County court records. 'He never should have been out on the street. It was just sad,' Karl Crawford, superintendent of Greenwood Cemetery in Petoskey, Michigan, told The Associated Press. School shooter convicted of terrorism There's no dispute that a terrorism charge is rare in Michigan. Wayne County, the largest in the state, has never used it, according to Maria Miller, a spokesperson for the prosecutor. The biggest case: the 2021 Oxford High School shooting in which four students were killed and more were wounded. Ethan Crumbley, who was 15 at the time of the shooting, pleaded guilty to terrorism, murder and other crimes, and is serving a life sentence. He had planned the attack. It was the first time that a school shooter was convicted of terrorism in the United States, Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald said. 'The sheer force of destruction, violence, trauma and murder the shooter caused that day did not stop at the doorway of Oxford High School. It was carried through the doors and out into the community," McDonald said. ___ Associated Press reporter Corey Williams contributed. Ed White, The Associated Press

16-year-old boy dead, 15-year-old boy in critical condition after shooting inside Mesquite home, police say
A 16-year-old is dead, and a 15-year-old is in critical condition following an overnight shooting inside a home in Mesquite, police said Monday. Just after 12:50 a.m., officers were called to a home in the 1500 block of Rusk Drive after shots were fired, Mesquite PD said. The preliminary investigation indicates that the two teen boys were inside a bedroom when gunshots were heard by an adult resident in the home, police said. When the adult entered the room, both teens were found with gunshot wounds. Officers said that the 16-year-old, who lived at the home, was pronounced dead. The 15-year-old was transported to a hospital, where he remains in critical condition. Investigators are still working to determine what led to the incident, but said at this time, it looks to be isolated between the two teens involved. This is the second deadly shooting involving teens of similar ages in the last week.
