A Tucson police officer has been fired after he was accused of shooting a shoplifting suspect in a wheelchair nine times, killing him, after the man brandished a knife, authorities said. The video, released by the Tucson Police Department, shows the fatal confrontation between Officer Ryan Remington and a man in a wheelchair. The man, identified by police as 61-year-old Richard Lee Richards, was in a motorized wheelchair at the time and had brandished a knife, but had his back to the officer at the time of the shooting. The incident occurred when the Walmart employee noticed Richards leave the store without paying for a toolbox. The employee followed Richards into the parking lot and asked if he had a receipt. Richards then waved a knife at the worker and said: “Here’s your receipt.”

Taliban kills activist in hi car in Jalalabad

A prominent civil society activist was gunned down in Afghanistan's restive eastern Nangarhar province bordering Pakistan on Tuesday (12.10.2021) amid an ongoing targeted assassination spree.

Eye-witnesses told Anadolu Agency the incident took place during the morning rush hour in the provincial capital, Jalalabad city. Shad Noor, the brother of the deceased activist Abdul Rahmad Mawin, has also confirmed the incident.

According to the local Killid Radio, Mawin was driving his car when the assailants riding an auto-rickshaw opened fire at him before fleeing from the spot in the 4th district of the city.

There has been no claim of responsibility for the attack so far.

With the rise to power of the Taliban in Afghanistan, the assassination spree has not ceased in the war-ravaged country.

The Taliban last week claimed dismantling a Daesh/ISIS hideout in the capital Kabul, blamed for many of such attacks.

But days after that the group claimed orchestrating targeted killings in Nangarhar and Parwan provinces as well as a massive suicide bombing in a Shia community mosque in the northern Kunduz province, killing more than 50 people.

Prior to that, at least eight people were killed in another Daesh-claimed suicide attack at a mosque in Kabul where people had gathered for a memorial service for the late mother of Zabihullah Mujahid, acting deputy information minister in the interim Taliban administration.
