A teenage girl has been arrested on suspicion of assaulting a police officer after dozens of people joined disorder that saw cars set on fire and bricks being hurled in Salford. About 50 to 60 people gathered during the disturbance in the city's Lower Broughton Road at about 13:30 BST, Greater Manchester Police said. Cars were stolen and set on fire, motorbikes were being ridden erratically and bricks thrown at officers, while wheelie bins and cars were used to block off the road, the force said. A 16-year-old girl was arrested on suspicion of assaulting an officer. The windscreen of a police vehicle was smashed during the disruption. A video shared on social media appeared to show a Fiat 500 reversing at speed along the road with its boot open, as another car followed it. Supt Marcus Noden said: "We are aware of speculation online that this incident is linked to immigration. This is categorically incorrect. "This sort of behaviour will not be tolerated and we took robust and appropriate action. "A large number of officers will be remaining in the area over night as a precaution. "There are currently no ongoing incidents in the area, however, tensions remain heightened, and we have robust plans in place, should we need to respond to any further incidents."

FBI assisting in investigation of two bodies found at Michigan's Isle Royale National Park
The FBI confirmed that it is assisting in an investigation after the bodies of two unidentified campers were found on Monday at Michigan's Isle Royale National Park. Federal investigators say they routinely assist in investigations if requested, but this does not mean they will open an investigation. "FBI policy prohibits the confirmation of the existence of investigations, the release of information on investigations and any public report on the closing on an investigation," the agency said in a statement. Authorities say that at about 4 p.m. on June 8, two park rangers responded to reports of two people dead at a remote campground within the park. After hiking 11 miles to the campground, the rangers found the two people on Monday. Additional ground and aviation resources responded to the scene. The cause of death is unknown.

Frisco ISD releases video of fatal track meet stabbing involving Austin Metcalf and Karmelo Anthony
Frisco Independent School District has released surveillance footage of a deadly stabbing that occurred during a track meet in April, but only under strict conditions. Under Texas open records laws, requesters may view such video in some cases, but are not permitted to record it. Camera captures distant view Austin Metcalf and Karmelo Anthony CBS News Texas The video begins several minutes before the altercation between Karmelo Anthony and Austin Metcalf. The camera, positioned near the press box, captures half of the field at Kuykendall Stadium. The tent where the incident occurred is located in the bleachers near the 50-yard line. Due to the camera's distance, individuals are not easily identifiable. At approximately 9:55 a.m., a sudden movement is seen under the tent, followed by interaction between two figures. Frisco ISD officials say this is the moment the stabbing occurred. Several people are seen walking or running away, while others approach the area. Emergency response begins Minutes later, an ambulance arrives, entering through the gate near the end zone and driving to the 50-yard line. Paramedics appear to realize they cannot reach Metcalf, who is in the bleachers, with the stretcher. They return it to the end zone, then carry it into the stands. While paramedics work on Metcalf, someone places crime scene tape and unrolls a blue tarp higher in the stands behind the tent. Police later said this is where the knife used in the stabbing was found. Stretcher moved to ambulance At about 10:13 a.m., paramedics begin moving the stretcher toward the entrance as the ambulance reverses alongside it. Six or seven individuals surround the stretcher as it is loaded into the ambulance at 10:15 a.m. The vehicle does not depart until 10:20 a.m. Police remain on scene The video continues for several more minutes, showing police activity under the tent. Prosecutors may present the footage to a grand jury.
