    A homeless woman "was wiping blood off of her hands with a paper towel" after she allegedly killed a homeless shelter coordinator with an ax, police said. Zaaina Asra Zakirrah Mahvish-Jammeh, a 38-year-old resident of Morningside House shelter in Brattleboro, Vermont, wanted to talk to Leah Rosin-Pritchard, a 36-year-old social worker, in the living room, according to a probable cause affidavit. Responding officers, who reviewed security footage, said Mahvish-Jammeh and Rosin-Pritchard were out of the camera's view, but they heard a "muffled" conversation before the "thudding and screaming started," the affidavit says. The two women entered view of the camera,...

    Two recreational ax-throwing venues opening this summer are trying to prove that Canadian backyard shenanigans can be as popular as bowling and pub darts, with a little more risk. “It’s relatively easy,” Lalor said. “The weight of the ax is actually going to get it into the target fairly easily, so really it’s just making sure you don’t rotate the blade and aim it at the bullseye.” “We’ve had hundreds of thousands of customers, and we don’t have a single liability or insurance claim,” Zelaya said. An accident “would have to be something freakish.”

    Early Tuesday morning–sometime between 7:30 and 8 o’clock–Physics Professor Massoud Ali-Mohammadi was killed in an explosion while in his automobile leaving for Tehran University.  The explosion came from a motorcycle rigged with explosives, that had been parked in front of his house for three days.  It was detonated by remote control. Despite a torrent of disinformation from the regime, Ali-Mohammadi was not involved in the secret nuclear weapons project, and–again contrary to the regime’s lies–he was certainly not a regime loyalist.  Indeed, he was among many university professors who supported Green leader Mir Hossein Mousavi during last spring’s heated electoral...

    The White House is considering eliminating funding for arts, public broadcasting and legal services to cut domestic spending, according to the New York Times. The Times reported late Friday that it obtained an internal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) memo containing a “hit list” of programs that could be axed. Reportedly on the list: the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, Americorps, the National Endowments for the Arts and the Humanities, the White House’s Office of National Drug Control Policy and the Export-Import Bank, among others. Cutting the programs listed on the memo would save about $2.5 billion, the Times reported....

    An officer with Washington's Metropolitan Police Department came under an unprovoked attack Friday from a man wielding an ax, police said, the second such attack in two weeks that is prompting warnings and new protocols to officers on the job. The attack, and another last week in which a man attacked four New York City officers with a hatchet in Queens, prompted an immediate increase in security for officers in both D.C. and New York. The New York Police Department said in a memo: "Police Officers on patrol should maintain a heightened level of awareness." The attack in Washington occurred...

    An ax is a fearsome and effective contact weapon.  It is not surprising that the authorities have not arrested the homeowner.   They likely believe that this shooting will be found to be justified.  From The Courier, this brief excerpt: Major crimes detectives and crime scene investigators learned that a disturbance involving the victim occurred at a nearby residence. He then drove his vehicle through the yard of another home making threats to the family. The man parked his vehicle in the street and retrieved an ax to confront the homeowner. The homeowner armed himself with a gun and...
