At Least Six People Were Killed In A Shooting In The Heart Of Sacramento, California's State Capital

According to Sacramento police, at least six people were killed and 12 more were injured in a shooting in the city's center.

Rapid gunfire erupted in an area densely crowded with restaurants and bars in the early hours of Sunday, sending people fleeing across the streets.

When officers responded to the gunshots, they encountered a "very huge throng," according to police chief Katherine Lester.

In the aftermath of the shootings, no suspect has been apprehended.

Chief Lester described the scenario as "really terrible."

Investigators had arrived at the scene, according to the officer, and he begged the public to come forward with any information that could help identify those responsible.

The shooting happened around 2:00 a.m. (09:00 a.m. GMT) near the intersection of 10th and K Streets, near the Golden One Center, where the Sacramento Kings play basketball.

It's also only a few blocks away from the state Capitol.

Sergio, Pamela Harris's 38-year-old son, was shot and died outside a nightclub, according to her daughter, who called her around 02:15.

"She stated that he was no longer alive. I've just passed out "At the scene of the incident, Harris informed Reuters.

"I can't go until I figure out what's going on. There's no way I'm leaving. It appears to be a dream."

Kay Harris, 32, said she was sleeping when a member of her family contacted to report her brother had been murdered. According to the Associated Press, she believed he was in London, a nightclub on 10th Street.

She admitted to frequenting the club and describing it as a hangout for "the younger crowd."

Pamela Harris reacts outside the crime site in Sacramento, California, where she suspects her son Sergio Harris, 38, was killed in an early-morning shooting in a stretch of downtown near the Golden 1 Center stadium.

After receiving a call about the gunshot from a city council member, community organizer Berry Accius arrived at the scene about 02:30.

Ministers May Ignore The JCVI And Push For Covid Vaccinations For All 12- To 15-Year-Olds

Ministers could ignore their official vaccine consultants for the first time and push for Covid vaccinations for all 12- to 15-year-olds, after a scientific body ruled that the net health benefit of vaccination was too tiny. Ministers will seek additional data that could help them overturn the watchdog's decision, highlighting a deepening divergence between the government and scientific experts over the next phase of the vaccine campaign. After days of speculation, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) released a statement on Friday saying that while the health benefits of vaccinating the entire age group outweighed the risks, "the margin of benefit is considered too small to support universal vaccination of healthy 12- to 15-year-olds," At this time, the evidence is insufficient to justify universal immunization of healthy 12- to 15-year-olds." On Friday, a line of young people formed in London to get vaccinated. Instead, the group advised expan...

  n the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder, the phrase “Black Lives Matter” commenced to show up everywhere: on front lawns and back bumpers, on NBA players’ warm-up shirts in the course of pregame shoot-arounds, on gamers’ title displays when they fired up “FIFA 20,” on the tongues of longtime activists, college coaches, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah). On the chests of Black people declaring their humanity and White people professing their allyship. After former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was convicted of Floyd’s murder, Lisa Granade, a 40-year-old White woman, finally got around to placing up a signal on her property, in an overwhelmingly White Seattle neighborhood. Granade selected a black flag with a rainbow-colored fist clenched in solidarity, hanging it on a street-facing fence alongside banners assisting LGBTQ rights and opposing gun violence. And that’s how she ended up standing in the front of her residence getting yelled at and called a “racist” through another W...

In England, An Artificial Pancreas is Set To Revolutionize Diabetes Care

Angel
Image
A potentially life-changing artificial pancreas is being tested in over 900 patients with type 1 diabetes in England. It can replace finger prick tests and prevent life-threatening hypoglycaemic episodes, which occur when blood sugar levels drop too low. The method works by placing a sensor beneath the skin. It continuously monitors the readings, and a pump adjusts the quantity of insulin required automatically. Charlotte, a six-year-old from Lancashire, is one of over 200 youngsters who use the hybrid closed loop device. Ange Abbott, her mother, said that it has had a huge impact on the entire family. "Everything was manual before the loop," she explained. "At night, we'd have to set the alarm every two hours to administer finger pricks and insulin corrections to deal with Charlotte's blood sugar fluctuations." In the United Kingdom, almost 400,000 people have type 1 diabetes, a condition in which the body is unable to generate insulin, the hormone that reg...
