The fierce winds of Hurricane Irma regained Category 4 strength with winds of 130 mph early Sunday, as the storm's eye made it to the lower Florida Keys just before 9 a.m. The massive storm already has caused hundreds of thousands of power outages across South Florida, its leading edge lashing several major population centers.

A former employee opened fire inside one of New York City's busiest hospitals on Friday afternoon, killing one doctor and wounding six other people before taking his own life, New York police said.

The call went out in Portland on Thursday, summonsing the people in the Rose City to the streets.

The wife of a man fatally shot by police recorded cellphone video of the encounter that includes her pleading with officers not to shoot and begging her husband to get out of his truck.

As many as three gun-wielding assailants opened fire on a holiday party for county employees on Wednesday, killing 14 people in the deadliest mass shooting in the United States since the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre three years ago this month.

Prosecutors on Tuesday charged a Chicago police officer with first-degree murder in the fatal shooting of a black teenager last year, an incident captured in a graphic video that the Chicago Police Department released later in the day.
