They just said, ‘you’re under arrest.’” The teenager, who is Black, was charged with attempted murder and aggravated battery in connection with a February 4 shooting at a Dollar Store....

Mourinho: Depay could still have Man Utd future It was a lightning start for a side showing nine changes from the win against West Ham United five days earlier and the eventual 4-0 victory could have been even greater given that they ended the game with a total of 27 shots at goal. But perhaps even more pleasing for manager Jose Mourinho than the progression to the FA Cup fourth round will have been the performances of the three goalscorers, underlining the fact that this United squad has an immense array of options in the forward line....

Martial starred for Louis van Gaal’s side following his move from Monaco in 2015, scoring 11 Premier League goals in his debut season, but he has found minutes harder to come by under Jose Mourinho, making only 18 top-flight starts in each of the last two campaigns.

Two officers wearing tactical gear pushed him down, causing Gugino to fall on the concrete, severely wounding his head.

For opposing pitchers, facing a Houston offense that’s otherwise stacked with All-Star-caliber hitters, Maldonado has to be the reliable out. It might sound harsh to call him the weakest link in the lineup, but it’s very much the truth. When Zack Greinke started Game 4 of the 2021 World Series for the Astros, he was ahead of Maldonado in the batting order. Heading into Game 5 of the World Series, Maldonado had 45 plate appearances this postseason and had produced an anemic ....

The NFL implemented a rookie wage scale in 2011, and it was supposed to make signing first-round picks easier. But Mariota, the second overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, is the lone holdout.

In the final year of his presidency, Trump, who once championed Fox’s coverage, became critical of the network for lessening its supportive coverage of Republicans and himself. Shifting his praise to One America News Network (OANN ) and the New York Post, Trump has continued his attacks on Fox News, even during an interview with Bartiromo, who’s been with the network since 2013. Trump’s hour-long Thursday interview with Bartiromo covered an array of topics, including Big Tech and the media....

Hart had an .857 OPS with 87 home runs for the Milwaukee Brewers from 2010-12 but sat out all of 2013 following knee surgery. The two-time All-Star signed a one-year deal with Seattle, spurning Milwaukee's efforts to bring him back. Look the the 31-year-old first baseman to bat cleanup behind Cano....

As its name implies, Planet Coaster is a simulation game based around theme park management. Players can build and manage virtual parks using pre-existing rides, or build their own. While fans have been impressed by the Super Nintendo World themed land currently open at Universal Studios Japan in Osaka, that attraction does not include any traditional roller coasters. It’s no shocker, then, that fans would be eager to imagine how a coaster might look with Mario theming....

Greene accused the Democrat of inciting riots in Minnesota, while pointing out that Waters represents California’s 43rd congressional district. “You crossed state lines and incited riots, violence against police, shootings at the MN NG, and threatened a jury as a sitting US Congresswoman,” Greene wrote in a Sunday night tweet addressing Waters. “@SpeakerPelosi surely you will expel this criminal from Congress and uphold the law!” the Georgia Republican tweeted, along with a photo of the U....

Following the team’s morning skate in Boston, the captain told reporters he is hopeful he can get back in the lineup Tuesday night against the Bruins or Thursday in Nashville. It’s been three weeks since Giordano last played in a game. In the second period of a Feb. 4 loss to the San Jose Sharks, he carried the puck down the left wing before dishing it off below the goal line....

CNBC contributor Carl Quintanilla first shared the clip to Twitter on Saturday, tweeting to Hamill’s account and asking the actor if he could “share any color” on the footage. On Sunday afternoon, Hamill — who has previously shared illuminating tidbits of information about the classic sci-fi films — retweeted the video with some of that requested background color. “My screen-test for @starwars w/ Harrison on the 1st day I ever met him....

The scenes from the original “Top Gun” have become mainstays in Americana culture. After an almost 40-year break, its sequel, “Top Gun: Maverick,” recently passed the $700-million mark in North America and $1.4 billion worldwide, edging out golden-age Marvel fare “Black Panther” as the fifth-highest-grossing movie ever.

The Zhurong rover, part of the China National Space Administration’s (CNSA) Tianwen-1 Mars mission, landed on May 15 this year on what was China’s first attempt to send a rover there.

According to CNSA the rover has now traveled 1,064 meters (nearly 3,500 feet) south from its landing site....
