                      <![CDATA[ <p>Rescuers were working to save around 18 bottlenose dolphins that got stranded off the coast of Cape Cod early Tuesday morning.&nbsp;</p><p>On Monday morning, around 30 dolphins had become stranded, making it the largest known stranding of bottlenose dolphins off Massachusetts, according to the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/dolphin-hospital-cape-cod-orleans-ifaw/">International Fund for Animal Welfare</a>&nbsp;(IFAW). The IFAW said that mass strandings can sometimes repeat in the following days.&nbsp;</p><p>The 30 dolphins had originally become stranded between First Light and Ellis Landing in Brewster at about 5:30 a.m. Monday, when they came in with the tide. A woman noticed the animals and reported it. The IFAW quickly responded to the area, but five to six of the marine mammals died before help arrived.&nbsp;</p><figure class="embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-feed_phone_image" data-ads='{"extraWordCount":50}'><span class="img embed__content "><img src="https://assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2026/07/13/d2924a42-4fba-418c-94ef-080cee6b0fa1/thumbnail/620x349/4dc47b8bb448e5038df2f05d2364d669/photo-jul-13-2026-13-07-13-1-2.jpg#" alt="photo-jul-13-2026-13-07-13-1-2.jpg " height="349" width="620" class=" lazyload" srcset="https://assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2026/07/13/d2924a42-4fba-418c-94ef-080cee6b0fa1/thumbnail/620x349/4dc47b8bb448e5038df2f05d2364d669/photo-jul-13-2026-13-07-13-1-2.jpg 1x, https://assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2026/07/13/d2924a42-4fba-418c-94ef-080cee6b0fa1/thumbnail/1240x698/50142f5edf12f91511bb5e677f99e2d5/photo-jul-13-2026-13-07-13-1-2.jpg 2x" loading="lazy"></span><figcaption class="embed__caption-container"><span class="embed__caption">Dozens of bottlenose dolphins were stuck off of Cape Cod</span><span class="embed__credit">

The animals were in "decent condition" and had begun to refloat while the tide rose.&nbsp;</p><p>"This is a very stressful event. Partially because it's just really complex to have multiple sites where these animals are, and the fact that they're so big makes it much harder for our team to do a good job of taking care of them," said Dr. Sarah Sharp with the IFAW in a statement.&nbsp;</p><p>The IFAW said it continued to monitor the mammals and coax them out of Wellfleet Bay to "give them the best chance of survival."&nbsp;</p><figure class="embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-feed_phone_image" data-ads='{"extraWordCount":50}'><span class="img embed__content "><img src="https://assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2026/07/14/446da63b-61ee-4490-9a8a-037011242334/thumbnail/620x827/2f75617f3fdb39a16e06dbf131149fa3/ifaw-tuesday-photo-4.jpg#" alt="ifaw-tuesday-photo-4.jpg " height="827" width="620" srcset="https://assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2026/07/14/446da63b-61ee-4490-9a8a-037011242334/thumbnail/620x827/2f75617f3fdb39a16e06dbf131149fa3/ifaw-tuesday-photo-4.jpg 1x, https://assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2026/07/14/446da63b-61ee-4490-9a8a-037011242334/thumbnail/1240x1654/18c946ec82d0e3afdced1690bd0b7968/ifaw-tuesday-photo-4.jpg 2x" loading="lazy"></span><figcaption class="embed__caption-container"><span class="embed__caption">Rescuers helped coax the dolphins out of Wellfleet Bay.&nbsp;</span><span class="embed__credit">

                          </span></figcaption></figure><p>The IFAW said they had tagged two of the mammals to track their movements and later in the day saw them rejoin the larger pod of about 22 dolphins, about half a mile off the Brewster and Orleans area.&nbsp;</p><p>"So, now they're in a better place. If they stay where they are, they'll be safe through the tide," Dr. Sharp said.</p><p>The next low tide is at 6:10 p.m. Tuesday.&nbsp;</p><p>The organization said it had seen an uptick in bottlenose <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/dolphin-strandings-cape-cod/">dolphins becoming stranded off Cape Cod</a> in the last few years.&nbsp;</p><p>"Bottlenose dolphins are typically an offshore species," the spokesperson said.&nbsp;</p><p>The IFAW said that Cape Cod causes many navigational issues for the animal, compounded by the fact that there is a lot of bait fish in the area, local fishermen told them.&nbsp;</p><p>"The curve of the Cape, the hook shape and Wellfleet in particular, is another hook within the Cape," Dr. Sharp explained. "In addition to really big tide fluctuations right now. It's about a 13-foot vertical change right now. We've got really low lows and pretty high highs. So that allows animals to get into places that they then can't get out of once the tide drops."</p><p>They asked that anyone who encounters a stranded or distressed marine mammal not get close and never drag or push the animal back into the water.&nbsp;</p><p>"Similar to a person involved in a car accident, dolphins can become injured and exhausted during a stranding event," the IFAW said.</p><p>Instead, they recommend calling their IFAW stranding hotline at 508-743-9548.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p>

                      <![CDATA[ <p>A trial date has been set for a former Saks Fifth Avenue employee who was accused of stealing $25,000 from the Boston store.&nbsp;</p><p>Prosecutors say Suhail Kwatra, who worked as a personal shopper and stylist at the store for about 20 years, admitted to stealing about $429,000 over several years, but he claims he was forced to make the admission under duress. The 43-year-old is now charged in Suffolk Superior Court with larceny over $1,200 and is specifically being tried for alleged theft of merchandise and scamming gift cards between January 2025 and September 2025.&nbsp;</p><p>The prosecutor said in court Tuesday that Saks Fifth Avenue's loss prevention team was originally alerted to Kwatra's alleged theft in September of 2025 when a pair of Givenchy boots disappeared from the store. Kwatra was allegedly the last person to be seen with the boots, and the shoe box was found in his office at the department store, according to the prosecutor.&nbsp;</p><p>The loss prevention team then reviewed his transaction history and said that Kwatra had been falsely returning items held in storage for clients or items from orders that had already been fulfilled. Kwatra allegedly used the merchandise credits and gift cards to buy items for himself and show them off on Instagram. Kwatra allegedly admitted to the theft in writing during a meeting with the Saks team and agreed to repay the company. But Kwatra says he was coerced and intimidated into signing the document in a counter-suit against the retail giant.&nbsp;</p><p>Kwatra alleges that the company brought these charges against him to "sabotage his job offer with a competitor and defame him publicly." He said that he generated millions in revenue, helped curate relationships with clients and brands and was "among Saks' most profitable and influential personal stylists."&nbsp;</p><p>He denies the allegations, saying the gift cards were issued by managers and given to him. He alleges that any merchandise that was unaccounted for was also approved for distribution to clients and staff by upper management.&nbsp;</p><p>The Suffolk District Attorney's office asked for Kwatra's passport to be turned over, to stay in Massachusetts, to avoid any Saks employees and former clients, and to stay away from all Saks Fifth Avenue stores, including Saks Off 5th and Neiman Marcus.&nbsp;</p><p>His attorney argued against those conditions, saying that his job required him to travel outside of Massachusetts and that several of his former clients had close relationships with him.&nbsp;</p><p>"He's been in that industry for decades. His former clients are his friends, his partner with whom he lives and is in the courtroom today is a former client," Kwatra's defense attorney argued.&nbsp;</p><p>The judge ordered that Kwatra stay away from all witnesses in the case and from all Saks Fifth Avenue employees and locations. He can leave the state and meet with former clients who are not witnesses. Kwatra was released on personal recognizance.&nbsp;</p><p>Kwatra is due in court next on September 16. His trial date was set for March 22, 2027.&nbsp;</p>

                      <![CDATA[ <p>A coalition of a dozen states on Monday sued to block Paramount Skydance's acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, posing a new challenge to the $110 billion deal that would unite two of the nation's largest media companies.</p><p>Attorneys general from the 12 states, led by California Attorney General Rob Bonta, claim that the merger would harm competition in the movie industry and result in lower pay and fewer job opportunities for industry professionals. The states also argue that the merger would hurt consumers by driving up cable package and movie ticket prices and offering fewer news and entertainment choices.</p><p>"We have antitrust laws and merger controls for a reason, because competition is the lifeblood of a healthy and vibrant economy. Competition pushes companies to produce their best work, to innovate, and to offer fair and reasonable prices," Bonta said in a Monday press conference.</p><p>The states suing are Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon and Washington. The lawsuit alleges that the merger is illegal under the Clayton Act of 1914, which prevents mergers that may undermine competition or create a monopoly.&nbsp;</p><p>Paramount vowed to fight the lawsuit.</p><p>"The lawsuit filed by the state attorneys general, in the most generous light, reflects a fundamentally flawed application of the antitrust laws and is wrong on both the facts and the law," a Paramount spokesperson said in a statement.</p><p>A Warner Bros. spokesperson referred CBS News to Paramount.</p><p>If combined, Paramount and Warner Bros. would control nearly a third of cable programming and more than a third of blockbuster films, according to Bonta's office.</p><p>The coalition of states has requested that the two companies halt the merger until "after the judicial process concludes."</p><p>"If they do not agree, the coalition will be filing a temporary restraining order," Bonta's office said.</p><p>Paramount has previously <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://ir.paramount.com/news-releases/news-release-details/paramount-acquire-warner-bros-discovery-form-next-generation/">said</a> it expects the transaction to close in the third quarter. If the merger isn't completed by Sept. 30, Paramount has agreed to pay shareholders a 25-cent per share "ticking fee," amounting to $650 million per quarter.</p><p>The lawsuit comes after the Justice Department closed its investigation into the deal in June, <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/paramount-skydance-warner-bros-discovery-antitrust-justice-department/">clearing the way</a></span> for Paramount and Warner Bros. to merge. At the time, the DOJ said the transaction "is not likely to result in harm to competition or American consumers."&nbsp;</p><p>The Writers Guild of America on Tuesday issued a separate lawsuit to block the proposed merger of Paramount and Warner Bros. The labor union, which represents thousands of TV, news, movie and online writers, alleges that the deal violates federal antitrust law and would lead to lower pay and fewer opportunities for writers.</p><p>Paramount did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the WGA lawsuit. Warner Bros. referred CBS News back to Paramount.&nbsp;</p><p>Paramount, the parent company of CBS News, has argued that the deal would promote competition and result in a stronger company. The entertainment company, led by CEO David Ellison, had <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://ir.paramount.com/news-releases/news-release-details/paramount-acquire-warner-bros-discovery-form-next-generation/">committed</a> to releasing 30 films a year in theaters through the combined business, a move it said will help support job growth.&nbsp;</p><p>The proposed deal would create a media giant, combining Paramount, which owns Paramount studios and cable networks such as Comedy Central and Nickelodeon, with Warner Bros., owner of the "Harry Potter" franchise and cable networks including CNN, HBO Max, TBS and TNT.&nbsp;</p><h2>Pushback from states, Hollywood, international community&nbsp;</h2><p>The merger has drawn opposition from multiple sources, among them California Attorney General Rob Bonta. In February, he <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://x.com/AGRobBonta/status/2027220360433946983?lang=en">announced</a> that the California Department of Justice was launching an investigation into the deal, writing that his office intended to conduct a "vigorous" review.</p><p>Some major players in Hollywood have also opposed the combination. In April, more than 5,000 industry professionals &mdash; including celebrities such as Sofia Coppola, Kevin Bacon, Jane Fonda and Robert De Niro &mdash; signed an open <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://blockthemerger.com/openletter">letter</a> against the merger, saying that it would result in "fewer opportunities for creators, fewer jobs across the production ecosystem, higher costs, and less choice for audiences in the United States and around the world."&nbsp;</p><p>In response to the letter, Paramount said in April that the merger would give creators "more avenues for their work, not fewer."</p><p>"This transaction uniquely brings together complementary strengths to create a company that can greenlight more projects, back bold ideas, support talent across multiple stages of their careers, and bring stories to audiences at a truly global scale," Paramount said in a statement.</p><p>Paramount has touted additional regulatory clearances from several other countries, including China, Canada and Australia. But other reviews remain in progress, including in the European Union and the U.K., which has separately suggested it may intervene.</p><p>In another case earlier this year, a coalition of states&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://oag.ca.gov/news/press-releases/attorney-general-bonta-files-lawsuit-seeking-block-62-billion-nexstartegna">sued</a> to block <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/deal-acquistion-broadcast-nexstar-tegna/" target="_blank">a merger</a> between Nexstar Media Group and broadcast company Tegna. A federal judge subsequently&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/judge-blocks-nexstar-acquisition-of-tegna-until-antitrust-suit-resolved/" target="_blank">blocked the $6.2 billion merger</a>&nbsp;until the antitrust lawsuit is resolved, finding the state AGs and DirecTV, which also sued, were likely to prevail in their legal bid to stop the merger.</p>

                      <![CDATA[ <p>U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have been instructed to immediately suspend most vehicle stops during enforcement operations nationwide, except in cases involving serious criminal targets, following fatal shootings in <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-officer-body-camera-houston-shooting-lorenzo-salgado-araujo/" target="_blank">Texas</a> and <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/maine-shooting-ice-biddeford/" target="_blank">Maine</a></span> over the last week, multiple law enforcement sources told CBS News.</p><p>The directive applies to ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations, the division responsible for civil immigration arrests and removals, but not Homeland Security Investigations, which primarily handles criminal investigations, according to sources. It is a temporary pause while Enforcement and Removal Operations officers receive additional training on vehicle-stop tactics, the sources said. </p><p>In the interim, ERO officers can still participate in operations involving vehicle stops when working with partner law enforcement agencies targeting criminal suspects who are the subject of judicial warrants, sources said.</p><p>The policy shift could have significant operational impacts. Vehicle stops have been a common tactic in ICE enforcement operations under the Trump administration, allowing officers to identify, follow and arrest targeted individuals away from homes or workplaces.</p><p>In the most recent incident, Johan Sebasti&aacute;n Dur&aacute;n Guerrero, 25, a Colombian national who was in the country illegally, had "attempted to flee the scene" Monday when ICE tried to stop him at around 7 a.m. ET in Biddeford, Maine, according to the Department of Homeland Security. "Fearing for public safety, an officer discharged his weapon," DHS said in a statement.</p><p>While Dur&aacute;n Guerrero  was not the target of an operation, ICE agents attempted to pull over the man's car while "conducting targeted surveillance on the last known address of an illegal alien with a final order of removal," DHS said.</p><p>Dur&aacute;n Guerrero's father, Omar Duran, told CBS News partner Noticias Caracol, his son leaves behind a wife and 3-year-old daughter, adding, he "left the country to build a future for his family."</p><p>"I only ask God ... that this be resolved in the best way, and that there be justice," Duran said, translated from Spanish.&nbsp;</p><p>Dur&aacute;n Guerrero  had previously been given an order to leave the country, independent Maine Sen. Angus King said Monday.&nbsp;</p><p>Speaking to CBS News on Tuesday, King called for an independent investigation.</p><p>"I want a full, fair, open, transparent investigation of this, not strictly run by the feds," said King, an independent who caucuses with Democrats. "Unfortunately, the feds don't have the credibility today. The people of Maine are not going to accept an investigation that's run by ICE or at the FBI."</p><figure class="embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-feed_phone_image" data-ads='{"extraWordCount":50}'><span class="img embed__content "><img src="https://assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2026/07/14/57675045-5e55-49eb-8084-69fdaf5cb1fe/thumbnail/620x413/bb0165599e4e559563ced2eaaae7e93d/gettyimages-2285425464.jpg#" alt="ICE Officers Fatally Shoot Undocumented Immigrant In Maine " height="413" width="620" class=" lazyload" srcset="https://assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2026/07/14/57675045-5e55-49eb-8084-69fdaf5cb1fe/thumbnail/620x413/bb0165599e4e559563ced2eaaae7e93d/gettyimages-2285425464.jpg 1x, https://assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2026/07/14/57675045-5e55-49eb-8084-69fdaf5cb1fe/thumbnail/1240x826/13c63423cc2e923daa575241e88772c6/gettyimages-2285425464.jpg 2x" loading="lazy"></span><figcaption class="embed__caption-container"><span class="embed__caption">A woman places flowers at a makeshift memorial for a man that was fatally shot by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, on July 14, 2026 in Biddeford, Maine.</span><span class="embed__credit">

                          </span></figcaption></figure><p>Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins said she had urged DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin to halt the stops.</p><p>"While the investigation of the Biddeford shooting is not yet complete, it raises sufficient critical questions that I spoke with DHS Secretary Mullin last night and urged him to cease all non-urgent vehicle stops," Collins said in a statement.</p><p>Just six days earlier, a similar situation unfolded in Houston.</p><p>Mexican national Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was <span class="link"><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/lorenzo-salgado-araujo-mexican-houston-ice-shooting/" target="_blank">fatally shot by ICE officers</a></span> who had pulled over his vehicle while looking for a different person, DHS confirmed last week.</p><p>"After receiving a credible tip from our law enforcement partners, our officers conducted surveillance on a target's address. Weeks prior to the incident, they noted two white vans at the property," DHS said. "On July 7, officers were almost at the target's address when they observed a white van with an individual who resembled the target. Officers then initiated the vehicle stop."</p><p>DHS initially said ICE officers were targeting Salgado Araujo because he was living in the country illegally. The department alleged he was shot after he ignored "multiple verbal commands" and attempted to ram an officer who fired his weapon in self-defense.</p><p>Salgado Araujo had no criminal record and was close to obtaining a work permit after living in the U.S. for more than three decades without legal status, his family has said.</p><p>In his remarks to CBS News, King criticized the Trump administration's immigration enforcement tactics.</p><p>"It's a tragedy for our country that we're going through this process that's based on a phony premise," he said. "The whole premise of this has been [arresting] 'the worst of the worst.' How frequently have we heard that term? 'We're going after the worst of the worst. We're going to take criminals off our streets.' Well, in Maine last winter, they arrested over 200 people. Nineteen of them had criminal records. That means 90% of the people arrested had no criminal records."</p>

                      <![CDATA[ <p>An Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Maine fatally shot a man in his car on Monday, the Department of Homeland Security said, marking the second time in a week that ICE officers have used deadly force in the U.S. &nbsp;</p><p>DHS alleged the man, who was in the country illegally, had "attempted to flee the scene" when ICE tried to stop him at around 7 a.m. ET in Biddeford, Maine, and "fearing for public safety, an officer discharged his weapon." He later died from his injuries. DHS said ICE agents encountered the man while "conducting targeted surveillance on the last known address of an illegal alien with a final order of removal."</p><p>DHS did not name the man. A family representative and the Colombian Embassy in Washington, D.C., confirmed to CBS News on Tuesday that his name is Johan Sebasti&aacute;n Dur&aacute;n Guerrero, a 25-year-old Colombian national. A source with knowledge of the investigation had earlier told CBS News his first name is Joan, and an immigrant rights group had said he was 26.&nbsp;</p><p>Independent Sen. Angus King of Maine said on CNN that "the person that was killed was not the person that they were seeking," citing a conversation he had with Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin. The senator said Mullin initially told him the man was the intended target of a warrant, but about three hours later, Mullin called him back with updated information that the man actually wasn't the target.&nbsp;</p><p>In a news conference earlier Monday, King said the deceased man had been given an order to leave the country.&nbsp;</p><p>Democratic Rep. Chellie Pingree of Maine <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/video/rep-chellie-pingree-speaks-out-about-ice-shooting-in-maine/" target="_blank">said in an interview with CBS News</a> that she had "heard on good authority, though it's not been confirmed by [DHS], that they perhaps shot the wrong person, that it was not the person they were going after." She called the shooting "very disturbing" and said she is pressing DHS for more information.</p><p>The Colombian <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://x.com/colombiaembusa/status/2076829963559333925?s=46&amp;t=iOAeL2uExiPa6kZ4kQeKNQ">Embassy issued a statement</a> saying it "regrets the death of a Colombian national in Biddeford, Maine and is providing the necessary consular assistance to his family." The embassy said it has "requested information and clarification from the Department of Homeland Security regarding the circumstances surrounding this lamentable death and will continue to follow the case closely as the investigation progresses."</p><p>During Monday's news conference, King said Mullin told him the man had "weaponized" his vehicle. In its statement later Monday, DHS did not use that wording, instead saying the officer shot at the man out of concern for "public safety."</p><p>King told CNN "we haven't seen evidence" yet suggesting that the officer feared for their safety or the safety of others, and called for an "unvarnished, transparent investigation."</p><p>The agents involved in the shooting weren't wearing body cameras, King told reporters.&nbsp;</p><p>Sen. Susan Collins, a Maine Republican, <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://x.com/SenatorCollins/status/2076783338367365158">said on social media</a> she was told that the Department of Homeland Security's inspector general will take the lead on investigating the shooting, with help from the FBI.&nbsp;</p><p>The state attorney general's office, which is also investigating the shooting, said in a statement that the man "attempted to flee in a vehicle in the direction of" an officer with ICE's Enforcement and Removal Operations directorate, according to initial statements collected by investigators. The officer who opened fire will be placed on leave, according to the attorney general's office.&nbsp;</p><h2>Videos show car circling, man pulled from vehicle</h2><p>The Maine Immigrants' Rights Coalition <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://maineimmigrantrights.org/maines-immigrant-community-responds-to-ice-shooting-in-biddeford/">said</a> the man killed in the shooting was authorized to work in the U.S. and had been issued a Social Security number.</p><p>A neighbor, Nelson Elias, told reporters that the man was married with a young daughter who's about 2 or 3 years old.</p><p>'This was a father. This was a person who was trying his best to create a life and provide for his family," Ruben Torres, of the Maine Immigrants' Rights Coalition, told CBS News. "Overall there's kind of just a general sense of confusion, pain and anger, both from the community and then also a sense of loss and hurt from the family."</p><p>A video of the incident, taken from a nearby security camera and obtained exclusively by CBS News, appeared to show the vehicle slowly driving in a circle a few times before coming to a stop. At least two people then approached the car and appeared to pull a person from the driver's seat out onto the ground.</p><p>Cory Poulin, who owns a pawn shop and laundromat across the street, said he believes the vehicle was rolling because the driver had already been shot. He said he considers it a community tragedy.</p><p>"If someone's a different race and wants to do laundry, I don't want them to be worried that they're going to &mdash; that they have to worry about ICE coming in and doing what they do," Poulin said.</p><p>A photo from the <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.pressherald.com/2026/07/13/shooting-reported-in-biddeford-2/?copylink=true">Portland Press Herald</a> shows a car behind police tape with four bullet holes in the windshield on the driver's side.</p><figure class="embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-feed_phone_image" data-ads='{"extraWordCount":50}'><span class="img embed__content "><img src="https://assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2026/07/13/8e2172cf-93d6-4df8-8c44-43b877f170dd/thumbnail/620x418g9/84c44b56eef94ae456657fa3b4056e06/gettyimages-2285311000.jpg#" alt="A Kia sedan with four bullet holes in the windshield is seen at the scene of a shooting in Biddeford, Maine, July 13, 2026.

The video, which was recorded from a nearby vehicle, shows two people approaching the car while it's moving, and one person appears to grab onto the driver's side door handle before the video ends.</p><p>"The question is, what did he do with his vehicle?" King told reporters. "Were officers threatened? Were the threats rising to the level that justified deadly force? That's what this investigation is all about, and I certainly intend to stay after it to do everything I can to be sure the investigation is as transparent and thorough as possible."</p><p>Em Akerley, who lives near where the shooting happened, told WMTW-TV she initially thought she heard a car backfiring and went to her window when the sound continued.</p><p>"I see a small white car being corralled by two men trying to stop it from losing control around the intersection and, all of a sudden, all these plainclothes, vested men sort of running down the street, abandoning their cars kind of everywhere with regular people behind them," she said.</p><p>She said she didn't see the man who was shot.</p><p>"I don't know what he did, but he didn't deserve to be executed in the street," Akerley said.

                      <![CDATA[ <p>Massachusetts ranks highly on a new report of "The best states to move to in 2026" - but two other New England states have it beat.</p><p>The ranking from the <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.consumeraffairs.com/movers/#editorial">ConsumerAffairs</a> website puts Massachusetts at No. 6 on the list. Maine is just ahead in fifth, and New Hampshire took the top spot.</p><p>ConsumerAffairs said affordability and safety were two of the top factors it considered in coming up with the rankings.&nbsp;</p><h2>New Hampshire ranked best state to move to</h2><p>The report said New Hampshire got top marks for safety, qualify of life, healthcare and education.&nbsp;</p><p>"Plus, New Hampshire does not collect state sales tax or individual income tax from its residents," ConsumerAffairs said. "Such well-rounded metrics - and a 2.8% unemployment rate, the fourth lowest in the country - make the state attractive to movers."</p><p>New Hampshire Gov. Kelly Ayotte celebrated taking the top spot on Tuesday after two years in the No. 2 spot.</p><p>"We're a beacon for economic opportunity, the safest state in the nation, and our qualify of life is unlike anywhere else," she said in a statement. "Anyone looking for lower taxes, more opportunity, and an unmatched quality of life should look no further than the Granite State - we'd love to have you!"</p><h2>Where Massachusetts ranks</h2><p>Massachusetts did move up two spots in the ranking from last year. ConsumerAffairs says the state is the best when it comes to healthcare and No. 3 for quality of life - but it's 40th in the nation when it comes to affordability.</p><p>A poll conducted last fall found that about one in three Massachusetts voters have considered leaving the state due to the <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/leaving-massachusetts-poll-cost-of-living/">high cost of living.</a> Last year, the Boston area was ranked the <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/boston-most-expensive-city-raise-child/">most expensive place</a> in the country to raise a child, and a report from March found that a single adult needs to make nearly $140,000 a year to <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/boston-salary-live-comfortably-study/">"live comfortably" in Boston.</a></p>

The passenger said the ride was quiet and uneventful until they arrived at Terminal C just before 5:30 a.m. The passenger was supposed to be dropped off at British Airways in Terminal E.&nbsp;</p><p>"He asked the driver whether they had arrived at the correct terminal and without warning the driver turned his body between the front seats and began repeatedly striking him in the head with his left hand," Padilla   said in court Monday.&nbsp;</p><p>"The victim distinctively recalled that the driver used his left hand throughout the assault and described it as 'the driver wailing on him.'"</p><p>The passenger didn't realize he had been stabbed until he got out of the car, covered in blood. He walked into Terminal C around 5:30 a.m. and asked for help. Bacon drove off with the man's suitcase, Padilla said.</p><figure class="embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-feed_phone_image" data-ads='{"extraWordCount":50}'><span class="img embed__content "><img src="https://assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2026/07/13/37043801-406b-4564-b6d3-399c48662d9a/thumbnail/620x349/3622cbff54689b013003e851015e3f49/logan.jpg#" alt="logan.jpg " height="349" width="620" class=" lazyload" srcset="https://assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2026/07/13/37043801-406b-4564-b6d3-399c48662d9a/thumbnail/620x349/3622cbff54689b013003e851015e3f49/logan.jpg 1x, https://assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2026/07/13/37043801-406b-4564-b6d3-399c48662d9a/thumbnail/1240x698/b424bede51021fa266c7c56acad35dd3/logan.jpg 2x" loading="lazy"></span><figcaption class="embed__caption-container"><span class="embed__caption">Massachusetts State Police at Terminal C in Logan Airport on Friday, July 10, 2026.</span><span class="embed__credit">

                      <![CDATA[ <p>Jordan Walker silenced Philadelphia's boo birds by homering on his last six swings, chasing down Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber in the final round and becoming the first St. Louis Cardinal to win the Home Run Derby on Monday night.</p><p>Schwarber hit 11 homers during his 15-swing turn in the final round. Philly fans, who loudly booed everyone but Schwarber and Bryce Harper throughout the night, quietly headed toward the exits when Walker's winning shot soared over the left field wall.</p><p>"I was once told you don't boo nobodies," Walker said. "So it feels pretty good."</p><p>Schwarber advanced out of the first round and then beat Boston's Willson Contreras in a head-to-head matchup in the second round to face off against Walker, a 24-year-old who beat Tampa Bay's Junior Caminero in Round 2.</p><p>Schwarber, Major League Baseball's home run leader, had fans roaring on every swing.</p><p>Swinging away with the top button on his Cardinals jersey undone, the 24-year-old Walker seemed nonplussed by the jeers and the massive stage during All-Star Game festivities.</p><p>"He earned it," Schwarber said.</p><p>Walker chewed a big wad of bubble gum and wore his cap backward just like Hall of Famer and Derby great Ken Griffey Jr. He celebrated with his family immediately on the field, while his father rejoiced in recalling how Walker started hitting long home runs when he was 6 years old.</p><p>He fulfilled this childhood dream in dramatic fashion. Walker hit his seventh homer with two swings remaining and his eighth on the next swing to earn bonus swings. Needing to hit four straight homers to win, the right-handed Jordan knocked one off the top of the center field fence 401 feet away. He reached 10 homers, and Philly fans booed with all their might, only for Jordan to finish the sensational surge and celebrate as fireworks shot off around him.</p><p>"That was impressive," said Schwarber, a Derby runner-up for the second time. "That was impressive what he did."</p><p>Walker is a first-time All-Star for the Cardinals who is having a breakout season. He already has a career-high 22 homers this season after struggling with a combined 11 over the previous two years.</p><p>Those final six in Philly are now stamped on the Derby highlight reel.</p><h2>A revamped Derby format delivered great drama</h2><p>MLB ditched its timed clock this season and returned to a swing format, with each hitter continuing to swing if he went deep on his final one.</p><p>The extra time between swings gave hitters time to track their home runs &mdash; and Philly a smidge more time to unleash those throaty boos at Contreras and Walker.</p><p>Each player had 20 swings in the first round and the top four advanced. Hitters were seeded for the second round, where No. 1 faces 4 and 2 meets 3.</p><p>Each player got 15 swings in the second round, with batters homering on their final swings continuing until not homering.</p><h2>Philly came ready to celebrate its slugging stars</h2><p>Phillies fans were wildly optimistic that Schwarber and Harper could somehow reach the final and crown the franchise's third Derby champion.</p><p>Harper hit only eight in the first round and was the final slugger to try and advance. Schwarber could only watch as Harper failed to join him. Schwarber, then with the Chicago Cubs, made the finals in 2018 at Nationals Park before losing to Harper when he played with the Nationals.</p><p>"Bittersweet," Schwarber said after the first round Monday. "I wanted both of us to move on."</p><p>Schwarber and Harper &mdash; the first pair of teammates to participate in the Derby since 2018 &mdash; received roaring ovations when famed ring announcer Michael Buffer introduced them ahead of the competition.</p><p>As for the other six sluggers in the field, all wearing their home jerseys with red, white and blue uniform numbers?</p><p>Yeah, they were about booed out of the ballpark, with the loudest jeers saved for Yankees slugger Ben Rice. He gamely laughed as he walked out of his Liberty Bell entrance.</p><p>Harper &mdash; who said earlier Monday this would be his last Derby &mdash; waved his arms and exhorted the crowd to get louder as he walked to the home plate platform placed at second base. Harper about broke the ring ropes as he shook them like a pro wrestler, and the Philly crowd went bonkers for the star known as The Showman.</p><p>The ball-shagging kids in the outfield were even booed.</p><p>The Derby's public address announcer implored the fans to cheer during some quiet stretches when homers &mdash; non-Phillies edition &mdash; were hit.</p><p>The fans did get a rise when Kansas City's Jac Caglianone smoked one into&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://apnews.com/article/phillies-kyle-schwarber-5c50488f28efae0925babb6f65162233">Ryan Howard territory</a>&nbsp;in the third deck in right field. Contreras socked 'em into the rarified air of the left field upper deck. One homer cleared the last row of stands in that section and bounced off the concourse in front of a bar. His 490-footer was the longest of the first round.</p><p>This was the first Home Run Derby and All-Star Game held at Citizens Bank Park since it opened in 2004 and the first derby in Philadelphia since Barry Bonds outslugged Mark McGwire in 1996 to win an afternoon event in front of thousands of empty seats at Veterans Stadium.</p><p>This derby was sold out and aired on Netflix for the first time, with the streamer getting into the game this season with a three-event package. Netflix already aired the opening night game, and the third attraction is the Field of Dreams game between the Minnesota Twins and Philadelphia Phillies on Aug. 13.</p>
