One dead, six wounded in Indianapolis shooting
One person was killed and six others wounded in a shooting in the US city of Indianapolis early Saturday, police said, a day after the country celebrated its independence day. The shooting occurred around 1:27 am (0527 GMT) as officers were investigating disturbances, deputy police operations chief Tanya Terry told a news conference. One was pronounced dead at the scene. Five wounded people were taken from the scene to hospital for treatment, while a sixth walked into a medical facility in a stable condition. Three of the victims were juveniles, including the person who died, Terry said, without providing the ages and conditions of the other victims. Police recovered several firearms at the scene and detained around seven people for questioning. Indianapolis police chief Chris Bailey condemned recurring violence in the city's downtown area, particularly involving young people. 'A kid is dead tonight,' Bailey told reporters. 'It's unacceptable.' The police chief said officers made about 20 arrests throughout the night and recovered guns from minors, including 'an assault rifle stuffed in the front of his pants.' Bailey criticized parents for allowing 'hundreds of unsupervised kids' to roam the downtown area at night. 'We are not your children's keeper. You are,' he said. 'Parents and guardians have got to step up.' The chief said thousands of people had come downtown for fireworks and left peacefully, but others stayed and 'caused trouble.' The shooting marked the second weekend of violence in downtown Indianapolis, according to the police chief. Serious gun violence is common across the United States, where many states have few barriers to the purchasing of firearms, despite widespread support for greater gun control. There have been 189 mass shootings in the United States this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive -- which it defines as four or more people shot.

French doctor handed 10-year jail term for abusing patients
A French court sentenced a doctor to a 10-year prison term on Saturday for raping nine of his patients during medical consultations, according to a lawyer representing some of the victims. Thirty women filed complaints against the gynecologist, in his 60s, accusing him of sexual assault during medical exams. The Haute-Savoie Court in eastern France found him guilty on Saturday of raping nine of the plaintiffs, said lawyer, Aurelie Zakar. Four of the plaintiffs accused the gynecologist of penetration with his genitals, while others complained of unjustified rectal exams and 'vaginal massages' that they said the doctor presented as medically necessary. 'The penetration suffered during consultations was not medical in nature and was, in fact, sexualized,' said Zakar. 'My three clients have been recognized as victims, they have been heard and believed. They can now rebuild their lives,' she said. The doctor, from the eastern town of Bonneville, has denied all allegations. The debate was particularly 'heated on the notion of intent', said a lawyer for three other plaintiffs, including two women who were minors at the time. The defendant presented the acts 'as justified or never having happened,' said Patricia Lyonnaz, adding that all the victims came to testify at the trial. 'These are not women seeking revenge,' said Lyonnaz. The defendant has 10 days to appeal.

Escaped lion attacks woman and children in Pakistan street
LAHORE: An escaped pet lion chased a woman and two children down a busy street in Pakistan's Lahore, police said Friday, with dramatic footage showing the big cat leaping a wall before pouncing on them. CCTV footage released by the police showed the lion jumping the barrier around its home and pursuing a woman carrying her shopping on Thursday night. The lion jumped on her back, knocking her to the ground, the footage showed. A police report quoted the father as saying the lion then turned to his five-year-old and seven-year-old children, and clawed their arms and faces. All three were taken to hospital but were not in a critical condition. The owners who ran out of the house were 'amused to see their lion attack' the passersby, the father added in the report. Police said Friday they had arrested three men. 'The suspects fled from the spot, taking the lion with them. They were arrested within 12 hours of the incident,' the office of the Deputy Inspector General Operations in Lahore told AFP. The lion, an 11-month-old male, has been confiscated by police and sent to a wildlife park. Officials at the facility said that the animal appears to be in good health. Keeping exotic animals, especially big cats, as pets has long been seen as a sign of privilege and power in Punjab, the most populous province of the country. In December 2024, an adult lion escaped from its enclosure in another neighborhood of Lahore, terrorizing residents before being shot dead by a security guard. The incident prompted the provincial government to pass new laws regulating the sale, purchase, breeding and ownership of big cats. The law now requires owners to obtain licenses for the animals which are barred from being kept in residential areas. Breeders have to pay a hefty fee for registration, while farms have to be a minimum of 10 acres in size.
