Edmonton police are objecting to a decision by Crown prosecutors to offer a plea deal to a woman charged with murdering an eight-year-old Indigenous girl — an unprecedented move in which the service laid bare its dissatisfaction with the organization that prosecutes most of its cases. Article content On Monday, the Edmonton Police Service (EPS) sent a letter to provincial assistant deputy justice minister Kim Goddard expressing “shock and horror” on learning the accused is expected to plead down from first-degree murder to manslaughter Wednesday. The woman — who cannot be named under a publication ban — was charged by police in 2023 after the girl went missing from an Edmonton home. The girl’s body was later moved to Maskwacis in a hockey bag and abandoned in the bed of a pickup. In the letter — obtained by Postmedia and released to other outlets Tuesday — EPS executive director of legal services Megan Hankewich said the Crown has offered the accused eight years in prison as part of a plea agreement with the defence.

A 13-year-old Washington state boy has been arrested after authorities alleged he had "school shooter ideations" and a stockpile of weapons for an attack. The Pierce County Sheriff's Office arrested the teenager, whose name has not been released, on Saturday after it received information late Friday that a teen in the area "was making threats to kill" and had said he had access to guns, the sheriff's office said a statement. A search of the teenager's home upon his arrest yielded "a large quantity of firearms that were both secured and unsecured," the sheriff's office said. Detectives said the teenager posted photos of himself posing with the firearms on his social media accounts, according to court documents. The photos appear to have been taken in the teen's parents' bedroom, which is where authorities later recovered the weapons, authorities said. One photo shows the barrel of a semiautomatic rifle protruding from what appears to be a mandolin case that was being worn as a backpack, according to court documents. The photo's caption read: "U'd never expedct it." As of Tuesday morning, the teenager's parents did not face any charges, Cappetto told NBC News. She said authorities are still conducting interviews and that it will ultimately be up to the prosecutor to decide whether the parents will face charges of improper storage and safekeeping of firearms or any other crimes. The teenager was last enrolled in the Franklin Public School District in 2021, according to the sheriff's office.

A chaotic scene unfolded at the Port of Long Beach on Tuesday morning when dozens of containers fell off a cargo ship.

I’m a nurse in a small northern Alberta town, not far from the Canadian Rockies. I love living in Alberta and raising my kids here—I have three, ages 17, 10 and seven. I work at the town’s community health complex, which serves as an ER, acute-care clinic and outpatient centre. I suffer from Crohn’s disease, and I’m happy I can give people the care that I would want. It’s cathartic for me to be there for patients on the worst days of their lives. Right now, health-care workers in Alberta are witnessing something we haven’t seen in generations: the return of measles. As of this writing, some 1,400 people in my province have been infected so far—more cases than in the entire United States. It’s surreal to watch the return of an illness we had all but eradicated. At every opportunity, I try to convince parents and patients to abandon their anti-vax beliefs and protect their kids and the community. I’ve already had a few successes. I managed to persuade my 30-year-old niece and a family friend by telling them about the damage that measles can cause, how it weakens children’s immune systems and exposes them to other infections. Some of my patients are swayed when they hear about outbreaks in other hospitals putting the most vulnerable patients at risk.
