Man arrested after police gun fired during scuffle at Sydney Airport
A man in Australia was arrested on Tuesday after a police firearm was discharged at the domestic terminal of the Sydney Airport. Australian federal authorities launched an investigation into the incident, the police spokesperson said. While the crime scene was sectioned off, there is no ongoing threat to the public and the airport is not in a lockdown, police said. The incident took place around 6am, close to gate number 49 of T2 terminal, leading to a partial lockdown. According to a video shared on 2BG radio, three police officials were seen restraining a man near a cafe. The man allegedly attempted to snatch an officer's gun during the struggle, reported the outlet, citing sources. 'Sydney airport is currently assisting Australian federal police following an incident earlier this morning,' said the airport spokesperson. 'No injuries occurred as a result of the incident. An arrest has been made and the airport is operating normally.' "An investigation into the incident has been launched ... and there is no ongoing threat to the public. "Further comment will be provided at an appropriate time," police said in a statement. While the accused, who has not yet been publicly identified, has been arrested, charges have not been pressed against him, reported 1News. A bystander and a former New South Wales police officer who identified himself to 2GB as William, said he was at the airport to drop off his friend when he saw a man struggling with two Australian Federal Police officers. "The AFP officer's long firearm has gone to the ground and was underneath the fellow as we went to restrain him. The shot has been discharged," he said. Another eyewitnesses told ABC News that he saw 'people running' as the gun went off. While he did not see what incited the entire incident, the passenger told the outlet, "when they hit the ground the gun went off. It looked like [the bullet] hit the wall of that cafe there. "There were a lot of cops, people running and Jetstar staff ushering people away."

Orleans Clerk of Courts meets with Louisiana Police regarding court documents dumped
NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — The Orleans Parish Criminal Clerk of Court Darren Lombard met with state police as they investigate the dumping of court documents in a landfill. Something the clerk of court hopes once it's resolved, it never occurs again. 'Why did they decide unilaterally without checking with the clerk of court to destroy those?' said Metropolitan Crime Commission President Rafael Goyeneche. According to Lombard, about 75 percent of the documents have since been recovered. But Lombard says the process has cost both time and money. 'Going through our inventory list, legacy inventory list, to see what was there and what is not there currently. So we have to go through the process of making sure those documents get restored,' said Lombard. 'Undermines public trust,' Gov. Landry orders LSP investigation into dumped court records Lombard says the city has been cooperative, even offering a location for documents to be stored permanently. He hopes an incident like this never happens again. 'We want to make sure that it is secure and that we can safely move those documents into that location when it becomes available. Available to the public and for reporters and anyone who wants to do research,' said Lombard. Governor Jeff Landry has ordered state police to look into what happened. Both Lombard and Goyeneche welcome the investigation, with Goyeneche saying state troopers will treat this as a criminal investigation. 'Attempting to determine is if that violated any state laws. If you destroy a public record, that could potentially be a felony in this,' said Goyeneche. The city's Chief Administrative Officer Joe Threat previously acknowledged the mishap, but believes it was an accident as staff worked to demolish Hurricane Katrina trailers. Goyeneche says state police will have to determine whether it was intentional or not, adding that it shows how things can go wrong when there's a lack of communication between agencies. 'When you have city agencies that are not working together, you increase the potential of something like this occurring. Importance of communication, coordination and cooperation,' said Goyeneche. Statement from Darren Lombard, Clerk of Criminal District Court and Chief Elections Officer for Orleans Parish after meeting: 'I had an excellent meeting today with investigators from the Louisiana State Police regarding the court records that were needlessly destroyed by the City. The LSP now has a clearer understanding of the importance of these documents and the City's legal obligation to ensure their safe, secure storage—or to provide the necessary funding for the Clerk's Office to do court records is a crime of negligence at a minimum. I am confident the LSP will move swiftly to identify the individual or individuals responsible and determine the appropriate consequences.I remain grateful for their prompt attention to addressing this egregious breach of duty.'Latest Posts Lesser-known candidates look to shake up New Orleans mayoral race at Fresh Voices Forum LSU tight end Trey'Dez Green set to shine in 2025 Tariff talks with China extended, what it means for New Orleans New area to watch in the southern Gulf Hurricane Katrina documentary, 'A Reason To Stay' screening at The Broad Theater Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
