Late one night in February 2019, a 31-year-old woman in a troubled marriage was rushed to an emergency room in a Birmingham, Alabama, suburb, with a gunshot wound in her upper right arm. "He shot me," Megan Montgomery told doctors, according to an investigative report obtained exclusively by NBC News. By "he," she meant her husband, a local police officer named Jason McIntosh. Police took her husband’s pistol away. Nine months later, the state’s top law enforcement agency gave it back, despite pending domestic violence charges and an active protective order. Just 16 days after that, he used the gun to shoot and kill her during another late-night dispute.

U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez of the Southern District of California, who warmly praised the AR-15 in his ruling, said the state's longtime ban on such firearms was unconstitutional.

The Utah State Charter School Board is following up on a FOX 13 investigation into a public school that has ties to a polygamous religious group. The findings of a staff audit have left the board asking the same serious questions raised by our reporting since December. Vanguard Academy in West Valley City continues to receive millions of dollars in public funds, despite the fact that its students and teachers almost exclusively belong to the same polygamous religious organization known as the Kingston group, or Davis County Cooperative Society. Public schools are not allowed to discriminate on the basis of race or religion, thanks to the separation of church and state established in the United States Constitution. Former Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff has referred to the Kingstons as "an organized-crime family," due to its members' roles in the Washakie Renewable Energy fraud case.

Quantic Dream executives recently appeared in a Paris court as part of its ongoing defamation lawsuit against French publications Le Monde and Mediapart. But according to a May 31 report, things didn’t go smoothly for the studio behind games like Heavy Rain and Detroit: Become Human. Independent French union Solidaires Informatique reports that co-CEOs David Cage and Guillaume de Fondaumière both exhibited strange behavior during their testimonies. Cage allegedly cried on the stand, stomping his feet, screaming about interferences to his business and damage to his honor, and eventually storming out of the court room altogether. Near the end of his own testimony, de Fondaumière reportedly looked at the judges and asked, “But I’m not under oath, so can I lie?” before claiming Quantic Dream was seriously damaged by the stories about its toxic work environment. Solidaires Informatique says de Fondaumière didn’t provide proof of these damages.

Photographing the Milky Way is an otherworldly experience.  There aren’t many events as moving as seeing our galaxy rising and illuminating the night sky. However, at night, many things are invisible to the naked eye. When you use a camera to capture the Milky Way, a whole new world of details, colors, and light opens up.

Buckle up because this trip is going to take you from the remote deserts of the American Wild West to the unfamiliar landscapes of the Australian Outback, passing by spectacular glaciers, volcanoes, mountains, beaches…always with the Milky Way shining in the sky.

The deliveryman, who shared the video Wednesday through the Instagram account for the mutual aid organization Lost Soul Courier Collective, said in the post description that he was delivering naloxone — an emergency harm reduction medication used to counteract opioid overdoses. Opioid overdoses have risen over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, as cities nationwide grapple with an increase in opioid use and fentanyl-laced cocaine and heroin. The man, who identifies himself as John, repeatedly asks what the boxes are for, who they’re addressed to and why the man is in the neighborhood. He later explains that there have been a spate of missing boxes in the area and pulls out his phone, hands trembling, to capture a photo or video of the deliveryman.

Greatest of all: Upon first listen, I realized whimsy wasn't a death sentence, and that Tiger Trap's record was far from milquetoast (another internalized sexism I adopted somewhere down the line). Sonically, it's the chemical crash of a sugar rush, dangerously addictive and so, so sweet on the senses. Tiger Trap sounded simple, sure, like the best punk bands, but Rose Melberg and her group were far from amateurish. Unlike the best punk bands, she demonstrated a masterful understanding of melody. Even her voice — soft and commanding, two qualities not opposite one another but often assumed to be converse — is uniquely intransigent, unlike anything I had familiarized myself with.
