Bernalillo County plans to seek funding for two memorials that would honor officers killed in the line of duty – one at Arroyo del Oso in Northeast Albuquerque and one in the East Mountains village of Tijeras. The sites were among three recommended by a committee representing local public safety agencies and family members of fallen officers. Commissioners opted to remove from consideration the third potential location, at Tingley Beach, after the city government said a memorial didn’t fit with a new master plan for the area. The commission also wrestled with whether to narrow the list even further and pick just one site for the Public Safety Officers’ Memorial. Commissioner Wayne Johnson argued in favor of both locations.

  • Biden administration asks court to block plea deals for alleged mastermind of 9/11 attacks
    South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Tuesday - 01/07/2025 - 04:52 PM

    The Biden administration has asked a federal appeals court to block a plea agreement for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two co-defendants in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. It comes days before the accused 9/11 mastermind’s scheduled guilty plea in an agreement that would spare him the death penalty. The appeal comes after the military judge at Guantanamo Bay and a military appeals panel rejected Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s effort to throw out the plea deal, saying he had no power to do so after the senior Pentagon official for Guantanamo approved it in July. This is a developing story.

    South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Tuesday - 01/07/2025 - 04:40 PM

    By MIKE CATALINI The highly decorated soldier who exploded a Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump hotel in Las Vegas used generative AI including ChatGPT to help plan the attack, Las Vegas police said Tuesday. Nearly a week after 37-year-old Matthew Livelsberger fatally shot himself, officials said according to writings, he didn’t intend to kill anyone else. An investigation of Livelsberger’s searches through ChatGPT indicate he was looking for information on explosive targets, the speed at which certain rounds of ammunition would travel and whether fireworks were legal in Arizona. This undated photo, provided by the Las Vegas Police Department shows the Tesla Cybertruck involved in an explosion outside the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas.
