Cook’s Corner shooting – live: Four killed after gunman opens fire at California biker bar
At least four people have been killed and others are being treated for gunshot wounds after a mass shooting at a popular bikers’ bar in California’s Orange County. The Orange County sheriff said those killed included the suspected gunman, with local TV station KCAL News reporting that the incident began with a domestic dispute between the gunman and his wife. Local media reports described the shooter as a retired law enforcement officer. California governor Gavin Newsom was monitoring the shooting “and coordinating with local officials as more details become available,” his office tweeted. Cook’s Corner is a popular, longtime watering hole for the biker community in Southern California. Many motorcycle riders and enthusiasts gather there on weeknights and during the weekend for live music, open-mic nights or just a cold beer after a long ride. Hours before the shooting, customers were stopping by for an afternoon drink and meal. Rows of motorcycles and bikes framed the gravel entrance as plaques described the storied history of the bar built in 1884.

Woman killed and two children injured in horror New York City hammer attack
A mother was killed and her two children critically injured after they were attacked with a hammer in their apartment in New York city. The police responded to a report of an assault in progress around 3pm on Wednesday, where they found the mother and her children in critical condition. The 43-year-old was pronounced dead after being shifted to NYU Langone hospital, said New York city police department chief of patrol John Chell. “The incident I’m about to describe to you is a horrific and senseless act of violence which took the life of a married mother of two,” Mr Chell told reporters. “I think I can speak for all New Yorkers when I say our community, all our prayers are with this family at this time.” “The 5-year-old son and 3-year-old daughter are fighting for their lives,” he said, without publicly divulging the identity of the people involved in the incident. “On behalf of New York City, everyone here, our hearts go out to this family.” While the suspect, a 47-year-old man, was arrested as he tried to leave the building at 52nd Street near 5th Avenue, it isn’t clear what charges he may face. Describing the accommodation as “tight quarters”, Mr Chell said: “Don’t know what the dispute was about but we’ll figure it out.” The victim along with her two children occupied a room in the three-bedroom apartment that she shared with the suspect and his nine-year-old son. The third room is occupied by a single person, said Mr Chell.
