An Alaska man tried to take his life. But the bullet passed through him and killed his girlfriend. Victor Sibson does not remember what happened the night he put a gun to his head, he told police. Shortly after 2 a.m. April 19, the 21 year-old Anchorage man held a handgun to his left temple as he stood in the apartment he shared with his girlfriend, Brittany-Mae Haag. She attempted to grab the gun and stop him from taking his own life, prosecutors believe. Police would later find both Sibson and Haag lying on the floor with gunshot wounds, and only one shell casing on the ground, Assistant District Attorney James Fayette said so.

And for a couple of years, I served in the research department of the Republican National Committee. But early in the morning of Nov. 9, shortly after Trump claimed victory in the presidential election, I took out my laptop and changed my registration to independent. From the start of the campaign, I knew that I could never vote for such a person.

Manchester bombing: Police arrest 23 year old male suspect A man has been arrested over the terror attack at Manchester Arena . The 23-year-old man was arrested in south Manchester the morning after the bomb and in relation to the attack, according to Greater Manchester Police. Theresa May had earlier confirmed that police believed they knew the identity of the suicide bomber, who died at the scene . They have not publicly suggested whether or not the killer was working alone. The report of the arrest came at the same time as police confirmed that a man had been arrested at the Arndale Centre, amid a bomb scare there . Police suggested that the arrest and the events were not thought to be connected to the night’s attacks. The arrest was announced just moments after Prime Minister Theresa May denounced the “appalling sickening cowardice” of the lone suicide bomber who detonated a homemade device in the foyer of the Manchester Arena just as thousands of young people were leaving...
