Gun Laws...
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo, joined by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, fulfilled his promise to sign the Red Flag Bill, a key component of his 2019 Justice Agenda. The Red Flag Bill prevents individuals who show signs of being a threat to themselves or others from purchasing or possessing any kind of firearm.
This legislation builds on New York's strongest in the nation gun laws and makes New York the first in the United States to empower its teachers and school administrators to prevent school shootings by pursuing court intervention.

A community festival was coming to a close when gunfire erupted in a Brooklyn neighborhood, leaving one man dead, another person in critical condition and 10 others wounded, authorities said as they searched for two shooters they believe were involved.
NYPD Commissioner James O'Neill said the shooting late Saturday in the borough's Brownsville section "was a tragic end to a wonderful weekend" where thousands of people had come to take part in the annual Old Timers Event, which he said had been held since 1963.
So it is not as simple as the governor say. Just a thought.
Kronos...
Marcus Hutchins, the malware researcher who became known as an “accidental hero” for stopping the WannaCry ransomware attack in 2017, has been sentenced to supervised release for one year on charges of making and selling the Kronos banking malware.
Presiding Judge J. P. Stadtmueller described Hutchins, 25, as a “talented” but “youthful offender” in remarks in federal court in Milwaukee.
Hutchins, a British citizen who goes by the online handle @MalwareTech, was arrested in Las Vegas by federal marshals in August 2017 while boarding a flight back to the U.K. following the Def Con security conference.
The government alleged in an indictment that he developed Kronos, a malware that steals banking credentials from the browsers of infected computers. The indictment also accused him of developing another malware known as the UPAS Kit.
Todd...
A Columbia Journalism Review writer blasted NBC News’ Chuck Todd for “basic misunderstanding of the requirements of his job” this week after the me-first host emphasized the entertainment aspect of Peacock Network political coverage.
Popula founder Maria Bustillos penned the scathing takedown for the prestigious CJR, which examined Todd’s recent performances during the Robert Mueller hearings and NBC’s Democratic primary debate.
Todd’s performance was mocked by people on both sides of the aisle, with the “Meet the Press” host being widely condemned for expecting short answers to long questions.
Bustillos – who has written for The New York Times, The New Yorker, Harper’s, and The Guardian -- noted that “Todd’s focus on the ‘entertainment’ aspect of politics coverage is often in evidence.”

Mystries...
Canadian police investigating the mysterious death of a young couple and the disappearance of two teenagers.
Chynna Noelle Deese, 24, of the United States, and her boyfriend, Lucas Robertson Fowler, 23, of Australia, were found dead on July 15 along Highway 97, British Columbia. Fowler's blue 1986 Chevrolet van was located at the scene, according to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
Four days later, police discovered a red and grey Dodge pickup truck with a sleeping camper on fire south of Stikine River Bridge on Highway 37, some 30 miles from Dease Lake. The two young men who were driving that vehicle, both Canadian -- were nowhere to be found and have not been in contact with their families in days.
While investigating the burning truck, authorities came across the body of a man at a nearby highway pullout, less than two miles south of the scene. Chynna Noelle Deese, 24, of the United States, and her boyfriend, Lucas Robertson Fowler, 23, of Australia, were found dead on July 15 along Highway 97, British Columbia. Fowler's blue 1986 Chevrolet van was located at the scene, according to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

The dead man is believed to be someone investigators "are working to identify." The cause of death was unknown and it's unclear how he is connected with the vehicle fire or the two missing men.
Police released two separate composite sketches of individuals and asked for the public's assistance in helping to identify them.

The FDA said it requested the recall after a "significant increase" in cases of breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL), a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Since its previous report in February, there have been 116 new cases and 24 deaths.

Gene...
In a milestone for forensic criminal investigators, a convicted killer received two life sentences for a 1987 double slaying after becoming the first person arrested through genetic genealogy to be found guilty at trial.
“The conviction and sentencing of William Earl Talbott II marks a new era for the use genetic genealogy for identifying violent criminals since it has now been tested and tried in a court of law,” geneology expert CeCe Moore told ABC News.
William Earl Talbott II was arrested in May 2018 and charged with aggravated murder for the Washington state cold case killings of 20-year-old Jay Cook and 18-year-old Tanya Van Cuylenborg, authorities said. A jury found Talbott guilty last month.
