Team of 35 detectives working on murder inquiry after man shot through window
A team of 35 detectives is working on the murder investigation into the death of a 60-year-old man who was shot through his front window, police have said. Barry Dawson was blasted once at his home in Elm Street, South Moor, Stanley, County Durham, at around 5.20pm on Saturday. Doorbell camera footage has emerged of the shooting in which two figures can be seen approaching his terraced home, one smashing the window and another, in a hood, firing once through the blinds, before the pair run off. A man can then be heard shouting: 'They've killed me dad.' A 37-year-old man and a 35-year-old woman who were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder remain in police custody. On Tuesday, Superintendent Peter Carr spoke to reporters outside Stanley Police Station, saying: 'This is an extensive investigation. 'A 35-strong team of detectives from our major crime team are currently working around the clock, with support from armed response officers, specialist crime scene examiners, search teams, and neighbourhood officers. 'This was a frightening incident for those involved and those living nearby. 'I'd like to thank the local community for their patience and cooperation while we work to establish exactly what has happened.' Mr Carr said there will continue to be 'significant police activity' in the area for some time. He said: 'We are particularly keen to hear from anyone who saw a white Seat Arona registration NA24 OJK on the Saturday in the Stanley and Annfield Plain area. 'I'd also urge anyone who has any information that could assist our investigation and has not yet spoken to us, to please get in touch – either call us on 101 or approach an officer.'

Looking back at when Cuomo Bridge supports began to rise in 2015
It's easy to forget, 10 years later, as we cross from Rockland into Westchester or vice versa on two blue-girded bridges, the long process it took to get there. So many cranes, including the massive Left Coast Lifter. So many barges full of gear. So much rebar and concrete. So many rivets. The giant girders floating down the Hudson, awaiting their moment to be put into place. Then, eventually after the new bridges rose, the old bridge — the one that opened Rockland to the wider world and connected the New York State Thruway to points east of the Hudson — came down. But a decade ago this week, at the turn of April 2015, Journal News/lohud photographer Peter Carr captured the incremental process: Cranes against the South Nyack horizon, the Tappan Zee Bridge from Tarrytown. He also documented the rising of the new bridge's support columns — still mostly rebar at that point. Reach Peter D.
