2 killed, 6 wounded in shooting at music festival after-party in downtown Los Angeles
A shooting erupted during a music festival after-party in downtown Los Angeles, killing two people and wounding six others early Monday, authorities said. Authorities first responded around 11 p.m. Sunday to shut down a 'big party' after officers saw a person possibly armed with a gun go inside a building in a downtown warehouse district, said Officer Norma Eisenman. That person was arrested at the scene, she said. The party had been promoted on social media as an unofficial after-party for Hard Summer, a weekend techno-music festival held at Hollywood Park, about 9 miles (14 km) away in Inglewood, KTLA-TV reported. Shortly after officers had cleared the area, police received a report of shots fired around 1 a.m. When the officers returned, they found one person dead and learned multiple people had been struck by gunfire, Eisenman said in an email. A male victim died at the scene and a female victim died at a hospital, Eisenman said. Six people were taken to hospitals in unknown condition, she said. A man told KABC-TV that his 29-year-old son was one of the two people killed. There was no information about a suspect or a motive. Investigators remained at the scene for hours..

Warning issued as new social media challenge gains traction
A dangerous social media trend, the 'door-kick challenge,' involves individuals aggressively kicking doors, often causing damage, and uploading videos online. Authorities and online safety experts are warning parents that this prank could lead to severe consequences, including serious injury, death, or felony charges for participants. Law enforcement officials, particularly in states with 'Castle doctrine' laws, caution that homeowners might mistake the prank for a home invasion and respond with deadly force. Incidents have been reported across several US states, with examples including significant property damage and two Florida teenagers facing felony burglary charges. Experts highlight that social media platforms incentivise dangerous content for 'clout,' normalising such pranks, and note that similar past trends have resulted in tragic fatalities.

Farage calls on police to share immigration status of charged suspects
Nigel Farage has called on the police to release the immigration status of suspects charged with crimes following the arrest of two men in connection with the alleged rape of a 12-year-old girl in Reform UK party leader said he "absolutely" thinks such details should be released when asked about the matter at a news conference on has been reported that the two men charged in connection with the alleged rape in Nuneaton last month are Afghan nationals but the police have not confirmed this. Warwickshire Police said once someone is charged with an offence, the force follows national guidance that does not include sharing ethnicity or immigration status. The authorised professional practice followed by forces across the country, and cited by the College of Policing, says the told the BBC there was some concern among police that disclosing the immigration status could lead to disorder in the area but that officers "went by the book" when releasing by a reporter at the news conference in Westminster whether police should release the names, addresses and immigration statuses of suspects after they have been charged with a crime, Farage said: "What caused unrest on our streets after Southport last year was us not being told the status of the attacker."That led to crazy conspiracy theories spreading online."Last year's deadly attack in Southport, in which three young girls were murdered, led to the spreading of a false claim online that the attacker was a Muslim asylum a perceived lack of information from police about Nuneaton to what happened in Southport last July, Farage continued: "To have masses of speculation as to what might have happened makes things I think far worse than they otherwise would be".Asked to clarify his thoughts further on whether he thought police forces should be obliged to publish such details, he said: "Yes, I absolutely think that they should."Later in the news conference, Farage called the police's decision not to release details about the alleged Nuneaton attackers a "cover-up that in many ways is reminiscent of what happened after the Southport killings last year.""It is not... in any way at all a contempt of court for the British public to know the identity of those who allegedly have committed serious crimes," he added."I felt that in the wake of the Southport attacks, and I feel that ever more strongly today." Ahmad Mulakhil has been charged with two counts of rape, while Mohammad Kabir has been accused of kidnap, strangulation and aiding and abetting the rape of a girl aged under Mulakhil, 23, appeared before magistrates in Coventry on 28 July, while Mr Kabir, also 23, appeared in court on were remanded in of Warwickshire County Council George Finch told the same news conference on Monday morning that he was "begging" for information to be released following the who at 19 became the youngest council leader in the UK and represents Reform UK, said he had contacted the chief executive of the council, Monica Fogarty, saying he wished to speak to Warwickshire Police "to urge" them to release the immigration status about the first man charged."I was begging for this to be released, screaming, phoning, asking [for the information] to be released", he the charging of the second suspect, Finch said he wrote a letter addressed to Home Secretary Yvette Cooper and Warwickshire Police's Chief Constable Alex Franklin-Smith calling for the immediate release of the two suspects' published the letter on his social media accounts on Sunday, in which he said Ms Fogarty had told him that Mr Kabir was an asylum seeker living in a house of multiple occupancy (HMO). Speaking on Monday, Finch said he would be working to "fight against" houses of multiple occupancy that "have been put up to house illegal immigrants".He also claimed Reform UK needed to "change things" and are "the last line of defence against the blob, the cover-ups of the councils".When asked if police should release the ethnicity of people charged with offences, the prime minister's official spokesman said the police and courts were operationally independent but the principle was to be "as transparent as possible"."We've always said and continue to say that transparency is important," he said."That is our position. For police up to central government, we should always be as transparent as possible when it comes to cases."He added: "This is clearly a deeply upsetting and distressing case which the public are right to feel shocked and angry about."In relation to this case, the individuals have been charged and we are now in a live investigation."In a statement, Warwickshire Police and Crime Commissioner Philip Seccombe said: "It is essential to state that policing decisions - such as whether to release details about a suspect - must follow national guidance and legal requirements."He added that he would not speculate on the personal circumstances of those involved while court proceedings were BBC has contacted Warwickshire County Council for comment.
