'I am going to kill you': Mass. man faces charges in connection with woman strangled in hallway
Brandon Wangnoon, 31, faces one count each of assault to murder, strangulation and suffocation, and breaking and entering a building at nighttime.
At around 9:30 p.m. on Thursday, officers were notified about a report of a man strangling a woman at an apartment hallway in the area of Mile Brook Road, Duxbury police said in a statement.
When officers arrived, they at first did not see anyone in the hallway, police said. They spoke with a resident who confirmed Wangnoon was in the hallway with the woman and led officers to the woman's apartment.
The woman told officers that Wangnoon was 'removed from his girlfriend's apartment,' and he entered a different apartment, police said. People living in that apartment saw Wangnoon and told him to leave, but he did not.
Wangnoon became argumentative and grabbed one of the women in the apartment by the neck, took her out in the hallway and told her, 'I am going to kill you,' according to police.
Other people intervened and separated the two, the statement read. Officers then searched the area, found Wangnoon and arrested him.

Trump wants to evict homeless from Washington and send them 'far from the capital'
By Bo Erickson and Nandita Bose WASHINGTON (Reuters) -President Donald Trump pledged on Sunday to evict homeless people from the nation's capital and jail criminals, despite Washington's mayor arguing there is no current spike in crime. "The Homeless have to move out, IMMEDIATELY. We will give you places to stay, but FAR from the Capital. The Criminals, you don't have to move out. We're going to put you in jail where you belong," Trump posted on the Truth Social platform. The White House declined to explain what legal authority Trump would use to evict people from Washington. The Republican president controls only federal land and buildings in the city. Trump is planning to hold a press conference on Monday to "stop violent crime in Washington, D.C." It was not clear whether he would announce more details about his eviction plan then. Trump's Truth Social post included pictures of tents and D.C. streets with some garbage on them. "I'm going to make our Capital safer and more beautiful than it ever was before," he said. According to the Community Partnership, an organization working to reduce homelessness in D.C., on any given night there are 3,782 single persons experiencing homelessness in the city of about 700,000 people. Most of the homeless individuals are in emergency shelters or transitional housing. About 800 are considered unsheltered or "on the street," the organization says. A White House official said on Friday that more federal law enforcement officers were being deployed in the city following a violent attack on a young Trump administration staffer that angered the president. The Democratic mayor of Washington, D.C., Muriel Bowser, said on Sunday the capital was "not experiencing a crime spike." "It is true that we had a terrible spike in crime in 2023, but this is not 2023," Bowser said on MSNBC's The Weekend. "We have spent over the last two years driving down violent crime in this city, driving it down to a 30-year low." The city's police department reports that violent crime in the first seven months of 2025 was down by 26% in D.C. compared with last year while overall crime was down about 7%. Bowser said Trump is "very aware" of the city's work with federal law enforcement after meeting with Trump several weeks ago in the Oval Office. The U.S. Congress has control of D.C.'s budget after the district was established in 1790 with land from neighboring Virginia and Maryland, but resident voters elect a mayor and city council. For Trump to take over the city, Congress likely would have to pass a law revoking the law that established local elected leadership, which Trump would have to sign. Bowser on Sunday noted the president's ability to call up the National Guard if he wanted, a tactic the administration used recently in Los Angeles after immigration protests over the objections of local officials.

Police say 8 killed and 3 injured at a nightclub in Ecuador as violence surges
QUITO, Ecuador (AP) — A shooting at a nightclub in Ecuador on Sunday killed eight people and injured three others in the latest violent incident to hit the spiraling South American country, authorities said. The shooting took place in the rural area of Santa Lucía in the coastal province of Guayas, considered one of the country's most dangerous. Seven of the victims, who were between 20 and 40 years old, died at the club and the eighth one at a hospital, according to a police statement. Authorities said the heavily armed suspects arrived on motorcycles and in two vehicles. It wasn't immediately known what prompted the shooting, which came two days after gunmen attacked a boat near El Oro province along the country's southwest coast. Four people were killed in that incident and several others remain missing after suspects launched explosives at the boat. Dozens of people have been killed in recent months, most of them in four of Ecuador's coastal provinces: El Oro, Guayas, Manabí and Los Ríos. They all remain under a state of emergency. Authorities have blamed the wave of violence on disputes among organized crime groups linked to transnational drug cartels that have expanded their operations, especially in the Pacific region, where drugs are shipped to Central America, the United States and Europe. More than 4,600 people have been killed so far this year in the country of some 18 million inhabitants. Last year, nearly 7,000 killings were reported, down from more than 8,000 in 2023, a record number.
