KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- A 4-year-old boy is recovering after accidentally shooting himself in Kansas City. The shooting happened just after noon Thursday at an apartment complex near Blue Ridge Cutoff & 61st Street. Police say the little boy got a hold of his dad's gun and shot himself.

FOX 4 has learned the child's father was not in the room when the little boy got his gun and fired it. Neighbors say at least one other small child was home when the incident happened.

"I heard a bunch of screaming and crying then I looked out my back porch and there were a bunch of cops here," said Phillip Boyd.

Phillip Boyd lives at the Trails at the Ridge apartment complex. Those chilling sounds came from the apartment next door to his.

"I went out there and started talking to the cops and figured out that a little 4-year-old boy got shot," said Boyd.

Police are still trying to piece together how the little boy got a hold of the gun. But investigators say the weapon was not secured.

"You have got to protect your child. If you're going to have a firearm, which we don't have a problem with, have that firearm in the home and please protect your children. Please use a gun lock. Use a gun safe," said Kari Thompson, public information officer with the Kansas City Police Department.

Police also encourage you to be open with your kids about guns.

"Give them education on the reasons why you have the gun and what it's there for. By helping them with their curiosity, it possibly could help them to not touch it, to not try to look at it or anything like that," Thompson said.

Those are lessons the family in Thursday's incident are learning the hard way. Thankfully, the little boy was taken to the hospital in stable condition.

"Just hoping and praying he'll be okay. Strong little boy. So he'll probably make it through," said Boyd.

If you'd like to secure your weapons, nearly every local police department and sheriff's office has gun locks available for free.

As part of a broad effort to isolate North Korea, the Treasury Department on Tuesday placed sanctions on Chinese and Russian individuals and firms it said had conducted business with the country in ways that advanced its missile and nuclear weapons program.

The sanctions against 10 companies and six individuals are designed to disrupt the economic ties that have allowed Pyongyang to continue funding its missile and nuclear program despite strict United Nations sanctions prohibiting it.

China in particular has been a sore point. Though Beijing has tried to restrict transactions and supported an escalating series of U.N. sanctions, many Chinese companies continue to do business with the regime by supplying technology and hardware for its missiles.

The sanctions announced Tuesday were predominantly against Chinese companies that have dealt with North Korea by purchasing and selling coal, oil and mineral resources, or provided banking services that made the transactions possible.

The sanctions also hit two companies that arranged for North Korean laborers to build statues in foreign countries. Overseas labor is a source of revenue for the North Korean government, and the Treasury Department contends some of the laborers' income helped finance the ballistic missile testing.

"Treasury will continue to increase pressure on North Korea by targeting those who support the advancement of nuclear and ballistic missile programs, and isolating them from the American financial system," said Treasury Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin.

"It is unacceptable for individuals and companies in China, Russia, and elsewhere to enable North Korea to generate income used to develop weapons of mass destruction and destabilize the region," he said.

Over 130 calls made to Kansas City Fire Dept. amid life-Threatening flooding overnight

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Evacuations are ongoing in Kansas City, Missouri, after heavy rains produced life-threatening and potentially record flooding overnight.

Nearly 10 inches of rain fell in the Kansas City metro area overnight, drenching the roads, flooding rivers and stranding residents. By 5:30 a.m. local time the rain began to subside, moving southeast of the city.

The Kansas City Fire Department has received over 130 water-related calls so far, and calls are continuing to come in, Kansas City Fire Department Chief James Garrett said this morning.

KMBC

The Overland Park Fire Department said rescues included two people plucked from the roof of their vehicle and a young woman rescued from a car in a flooded creek.

One video showed seven people waiting on the roof of a house to be rescued.

Another woman was rescued from a tree, according to ABC affiliate KMBC.

Garrett said there have been no deaths or serious injuries.

A few bodies of the U.S. sailors from the collision off singapore were found.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Bodies of some of the 10 missing sailors have been found in flooded compartments of the USS John S. McCain, a Navy destroyer that collided with a commercial vessel east of Singapore early Monday morning, the U.S. Navy said.

Interested in Navy Ship Collision?

Add Navy Ship Collision as an interest to stay up to date on the latest Navy Ship Collision news, video, and analysis from ABC News.

Ten sailors have been missing since the collision, and the remains of some were found by divers performing recovery operations inside the ship, Adm. Scott Swift, the commander of U.S. Pacific Fleet, said in a statement.

Remains that may belong to another sailor missing from the McCain were found by the Royal Malaysian Navy as it assisted the U.S. in waters east of the Straits of Malacca and Singapore, Swift said.

"Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with the families of those sailors and the families of our sailors who were injured," he said in the statement, issued from Singapore's Changi Naval Base today, where the damaged USS McCain is docked and where the tanker that it collided with is anchored. "The search-and-rescue efforts continue."

One of the missing sailors was identified by government officials as Ohio resident Jacob Drake.

Drake's cousin, Brandie Roberts, told ABC News that he joined the Navy right out of high school at 17 years old.

Roberts described her cousin as a "hilarious" and "ridiculously smart" person.

"We are all begging for answers and begging he is found safe," she said.

Drake is engaged, Roberts said. He has plans to marry next summer, The Columbus Dispatch reported.

In a statement, Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, offered his support to Drake's family and the U.S. Navy.

"Connie and I are thinking of Jacob's family during this horrible time and we join Ohioans in praying for Jacob's well-being and safety," Brown said. "Servicemembers like Jacob represent the very best of our state, and I'm hopeful the divers searching for these brave sailors can find him and bring him home safely."

Ohio Gov. John Kasich wrote on Twitter that he is "praying for all, especially Ohio's own Jacob Drake."

Collision followed by flooding

The McCain was heading to Singapore on a routine port visit after conducting a sensitive freedom-of-navigation operation near one of China's man-made islands in the South China Sea, according to the Navy.

The destroyer collided with a tanker vessel, the Alnic MC, off the coast of Singapore around 5:20 a.m. local time Monday, the Stealth Maritime Corp. said in a statement.

Reports of the damage to the two ships seem to indicate that they were crossing paths or at least attempting to move in different directions at the time of the collision.

The McCain's hull received significant damage as a result of the collision, according to the Navy. Photos show what looks like a wide cave on the port side of the ship at the water line.

An initial report about the collision indicated that the ship reported a loss of steering three minutes prior to the impact, a U.S. official said. The official notes this was an initial report, and that it's not clear if this is what led to the collision, as the crew could have taken several evasive maneuvers to avoid a collision -- something crews are trained to deal with.

After the collision, adjacent compartments on the McCain -- including crew berth, machinery and communications rooms -- flooded, according to the Navy, which added that a damage-control response prevented the situation from becoming more serious.

Ships from multiple countries searched for the missing sailors after the collision.

President Trump tweeted that his "thoughts and prayers" are with the McCain's sailors.

Several politicians on both sides of the aisle echoed his sentiment, including Sen. John McCain. The ship is named for his grandfather John Sidney McCain Sr. and his father, John Sidney McCain Jr.

"Cindy and I are keeping America's sailors aboard the USS John S McCain in our prayers tonight -- appreciate the work of search & rescue crews," McCain wrote in a tweet.

Call for an operational pause

The collision was hardly an isolated incident for the Navy.

It comes only two months after the USS Fitzgerald's collision with a Philippine container ship in the middle of the night off the coast of Japan. Seven U.S. sailors lost their lives in that collision, and last week the Navy relieved the Fitzgerald's commanding officer, executive officer and senior enlisted sailor for mistakes that led to the crash.

The USS Lake Champlain, a guided missile cruiser, collided with a fishing boat in the Sea of Japan in May. There were no injuries from that crash. The Navy ship tried to alert the fishing boat before the collision, but it was too late.

The USS Antietam, also a guided-missile cruiser, ran aground off the coast of Japan in February, damaging its propellers and spilling oil into the water.

John Richardson, the Navy's top admiral, called for an operational pause in the region and "a deeper look into how we train and certify forces operating in and around Japan," after the McCain's collision.

"We'll examine the process in which we train and certify our forces that are deployed in Japan to make sure we're doing all we can to make them ready for operations and war fighting," he told reporters.

"This will include but not be limited to looking at operational tempo, trends in personnel, material, maintenance and equipment. It will also include a review of how we train and certify our service warfare community, including tactical and navigational proficiency," he said yesterday at a press conference.

Lance Boeger- Royals pay $72M for MLB's Worst Offensive Player.

# data[].attributes.body
Alex Gordon is paid 72 Million the most paid player on the Royals to be one of the worst on the team.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Tony Gutierrez/Associated Press
Alex Gordon was the first and best cornerstone player of the Kansas City Royals' back-to-back World Series teams. So, it's fitting that he owns the largest contract in franchise history.

And yet, it's also increasingly inconvenient.

When the Royals re-signed Gordon for four years and $72 million in January 2016, he was 10 years removed from being the club's No. 2 draft pick in 2005, fresh off a starring role in their first World Series title since 1985 and, oh yeah, well-established as one of Major League Baseball's best players.

Between 2011 and 2015, only six position players racked up more wins above replacement. That had much to do with Gordon's peerless defense in left field, but good offense was also part of the bargain. He averaged an .809 OPS with 18 home runs and 10 stolen bases per season.

"No man has greater symbolized the Royals' rise from charred rubble to championship rings like Gordon, and that continues now," Sam Mellingerof the Kansas City Star wrote to commemorate Gordon's re-signing.

But in just the second year of the pact, the 33-year-old has turned into a symbol for the Royals' descent into mediocrity. And it has everything to do with his once-solid offense deteriorating into nothing.

Gordon's bat showed signs of decline last year, producing just a .692 OPS across 128 games. Now it's downright bad. Through 112 games, he has a .572 OPS that ranks dead last among batting title qualifiers:

Albert Pujols has accounted for less offensive WAR than Gordon, but he's hit 18 home runs to Gordon's five. Since Gordon also ranks last among qualified hitters in adjusted OPS+ and is the only qualified hitter with a slash line worse than .200/.300/.300, calling him MLB's worst offensive player is fair game.

Mind you, continuing to play him every day hasn't been a total loss for the Royals.

He remains an elite defender, as he leads all left fielders in ultimate zone rating and ranks second in defensive runs saved. This is keeping his WAR out of the red, hence why he didn't make the cut as one of the most overpaid stars of 2017.

Another silver lining is that Kansas City's payroll doesn't revolve around Gordon. His $16 million salary accounted for just 11.2 percent of the club's $143 million Opening Day commitments. Among payroll-hogging stars, that ranks near the bottom.

That's it for the bright sides, though. And none of them can hide the dark side that is Gordon's offense.

He can still put the ball in play, as his strikeout rate is back down to a passable 22.3 percent after spiking in 2016. The catch is that he's no longer dangerous when he does make contact. Both his average launch angle and exit velocity are at their lowest points of the Statcast era.

In plain English: He's hitting the ball lower and softer. And that's leading to all sorts of trouble.

Gordon's ground-ball percentage is the highest it's been since 2009, and his spray heatmap reveals how an overwhelming majority of his grounders have been pulled to the right side of the infield.

That's no way for a left-handed hitter to live in this, the Golden Age of Shifts. Sure enough, Gordon's seeing more of those and is being humbled by them to an even greater degree than usual:

Coupled with the United Nations Security Council resolution passed earlier this month, Tuesday's sanctions are intended to further isolate the companies and individuals outside of North Korea that are providing key support to Pyongyang's nuclear ambitions.

"As a result of today's action, any property or interests in property of the designated persons in the possession or control of US persons or within the United States must be blocked, and US persons are generally prohibited from dealing with them," the Treasury Department said in a statement.

Specifically, the sanctions are aimed at 16 entities and individuals that assist "already designated persons who support North Korea's nuclear and ballistic missile programs, deal in the North Korean energy trade, facilitate its exportation of workers, and enable sanctioned North Korean entities to access the US and international financial systems," the Treasury Department said.

"Treasury will continue to increase pressure on North Korea by targeting those who support the advancement of nuclear and ballistic missile programs and isolating them from the American financial system," Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said.

Chinese and Russian entities -- including energy companies, coal and oil traders, labor exporters and facilitators of sanctions evasion -- were listed as the primary targets of Tuesday's sanctions.

Like the UN resolution passed earlier this month, the Treasury Department identified shutting down elements of North Korea's coal trade as a priority. The coal industry generates more than $1 billion in revenue per year for Kim Jong Un's regime, according to the US Treasury, and represents a significant part of the funding for Pyongyang's missile and nuclear programs.

The latest round of US sanctions singles out three Chinese coal companies -- Dandong Zhicheng Metallic Materials Co., Ltd. ("Zhicheng"), JinHou International Holding Co., Ltd. and Dandong Tianfu Trade Co., Ltd. -- which were collectively responsible for importing nearly half a billion dollars' worth of North Korean coal between 2013 and 2016.

The US Treasury concluded that these companies "have sold, supplied, transferred, or purchased coal or metal, directly or indirectly, from North Korea, and the revenue may have benefited the nuclear or ballistic missile programs."

Moscow-based company Gefest-M LLC and its director, Russian national Ruben Kirakosyan, were also designated by the US Treasury for facilitating the sale of metals to a North Korean entity tied to the country's missile program.

"It is unacceptable for individuals and companies in China, Russia and elsewhere to enable North Korea to generate income used to develop weapons of mass destruction and destabilize the region," Mnuchin said. "We are taking actions consistent with UN sanctions to show that there are consequences for defying sanctions and providing support to North Korea and to deter this activity in the future."

Whether these sanctions can help slow Pyongyang's rapidly developing nuclear and missile programs or help pressure North Korea to the negotiating table remains to be seen -- especially in light of the rogue nation's recent claims that it has successfully miniaturized a nuclear weapon.

While some experts believe it may have the technology, others caution that even if it doesn't, North Korea should be taken at its word.

While the White House and US military officials still insist that all options are on the table when it comes to North Korea, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said on Tuesday that Pyongyang's response to UN sanctions levied in July could be a reason for optimism.

Tillerson noted that "we have had no missile launches or provocative actions" since the unanimous adoption of a UN Security Council resolution sanctioning North Korea in July. He added that he was pleased "to see the regime in Pyongyang has certainly demonstrated some level of restraint that we have not seen in the past."

"This is the beginning of the signal we have been looking for," Tillerson said, noting that North Korea is ready to restrain its "provocative acts" and that "perhaps we're seeing a pathway to, sometime in the near future, to having some dialogue."

And despite concerns that time for a diplomatic solution may be running out, several analysts say that sanctions targeting the heart of North Korea's missile funding should still play a key role in US strategy going forward.

"Sanctions against companies and individuals that facilitate North Korea's sanctions evasion is the best way to address Pyongyang's nuclear weapons and missile programs," said Anthony Ruggiero, a former deputy director of the US Treasury Department and an expert in the use of targeted financial measures for Foundation for Defense of Democracies.

"New sanctions should be part of a robust sanctions campaign that includes engaging those who continue business with North Korea and present a choice: continue that business or work with the United States -- they cannot do both," he told CNN.

Particularly when it comes to Russia, the sanctions are a warning, Ruggiero said.

"The Trump administration is sending a message to the Russian leadership to curb its activities with North Korea by targeting Russian companies and individuals for facilitating North Korea's proliferation activities and purchase of commodities subject to US sanctions," he said. "This is the second action against Russia following the sanctions in early June for similar activities."

In May, US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said the United States will try to further stymie North Korean operations by punishing third parties that help Pyongyang skirt sanctions.

"It's a pressure campaign that has a knob on it," Tillerson told State Department employees at the time. "I'd say we're at about dial setting five or six right now."

The US has tried to turn up the heat with sanctions and tough talk in recent months amid escalating tensions with Pyongyang over its rapidly developing missile program.

However, Pyongyang has weathered years of sanctions in its quest for a nuclear weapon capable of reaching the US, and attempts to cut off its revenue streams have proven to be similar to a game of international whack-a-mole.

"This is a regime that's really good at finding new, creative illicit ways to earn hard currency, and sometimes that's coming up with new activities and sometimes it's a matter of shifting geographic locations of those activities," Sheena Greitens, a professor at the University of Missouri who has been studying North Korea's illicit financial activities for the last 10 to 15 years, told CNN last month.

"If you wanted to try to pressure and contain North Korea's ability to earn from these illicit activities, you'd have to also close off its ability to adapt," she said.

North Korea has been accused of crimes such as hacking banks, selling weapons, dealing drugs, counterfeiting cash and even trafficking endangered species -- operations that are believed to rake in hundreds of millions of dollars and are often disguised within licit trade operations.

That money helps pay for the country's nuclear and missile programs, both of which Pyongyang believes it needs in order to deter any US-led attempt at regime change, experts say. North Korea's nuclear aspirations have progressed forward rapidly despite sanctions, and Pyongyang has resisted any US attempts at negotiation that mandates de-nuclearization up front.

President Donald Trump has long called on China to put more pressure on North Korea -- but ultimately, analysts say the US will have to convince China to not only target its own companies but to take comprehensive action that could disrupt the power balance in the region.

Beijing accounts for about 85% of Pyongyang's imports, according to UN data. That's a lifeline for the North Korean economy, one which prevents the US from really putting the squeeze on North Korea.

A Chinese government official said last month that China-North Korea trade was worth $2.6 billion in the first half of 2017, up about 10% over the same period last year.

But coal imports slumped by 75%, suggesting Beijing is gradually choking off North Korea's biggest source of foreign currency.

Pyongyang's reliance on Chinese entities also reveals an area of vulnerability, according to a recent study from C4ADS, a non-partisan Washington-based research group focused on exposing illicit trade networks.

"From 2013 to 2016, there were only 5,233 companies within China that either imported goods from, or exported goods to, North Korea. To put that number in perspective, as of 2016, 67,163 Chinese companies exported to South Korea," the report said. "Targeting specific key nodes can have a disproportionate impact."

Experts say Beijing's seriousness about cracking down on its unruly neighbor may be the key to stopping Pyongyang's illicit activities.

"It all comes down to China," Ruggiero told CNN in an interview last month. "In the end it's going to require going after Chinese banks and Chinese companies that are complicit in North Korea's sanction evasion."

In the weeks ahead of Saturday's Unite the Right rally, organizers used Facebook to coordinate the event. Hundreds of people had indicated they would attend and many more declared that they were interested.

When the situation in Charlottesville, Virginia began to make national news, Facebook took the event's page down.

Facebook has struggled with how to handle hate groups on its platform. Like many other tech companies facing additional scrutiny this week, it has intensified its policing of hate groups.

Since Saturday, Facebook has taken down at least eight pages that had previously been active on the site, including for Vanguard America, White Nationalist United and Genuine Donald Trump. It said it took the event page down for the rally after becoming aware of the threat of real-world harm.

"Across the entire tech industry, there's been a lot more attention and care paid to it than they gave it months ago," said Keegan Hankes, an analyst at the Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks hate groups.

Related: Neo-Nazi website loses protection from key tech firm

One by one, tech companies have turned their backs on white supremacist organizations this week. GoDaddy and Google stopped hosting Daily Stormer, a popular Neo-Nazi website. PayPal said it would not process payments for hate groups, and GoFundMe has banned fundraisers for white supremacists including James Fields, the man accused of driving his car into group of protesters and killing one person.

In addition to removing groups and events, Facebook is paying closer attention to shared links. It removed a link to a Daily Stormer article that attacked the victim of Saturday's violence in Charlottesville, which had already been shared more than 65,000 times. Now Facebook is scanning allposts with that link and only allowing posts that include a critical comment condemning the article.

"We've always taken down any post that promotes or celebrates hate crimes or acts of terrorism -- including what happened in Charlottesville," said Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Wednesday in a post condemning white supremacists. "With the potential for more rallies, we're watching the situation closely and will take down threats of physical harm."

Civil rights groups worry that the increased willingness of tech companies to crack down on hate groups could have chilling effects for free speech.

"Do we the people really want private entities calling the shots as to who can or can't participate in the discussion on the internet?" said David Snyder, executive director of the First Amendment Coalition. "There's a risk that the pendulum could swing too far and those who are now cheering... might find that their speech ... ultimately is banned."

Related: Mark Zuckerberg explains why he just changed Facebook's mission

For groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center, the actions are long overdue. Twice last year, the SPLC gave Facebook a list of more than 200 hate groups it found on the site. The list included pages devoted to denying the Holocaust as well as to white nationalist, anti-Muslim, black separatist and Neo-Nazi groups. Facebook has removed 57 of the recommended groups.

"They're not doing nearly enough to combat organized hate groups on the platform," said Hankes.

Facebook says it has its own internal guidelines about what constitutes a hate group. Simply being white supremacists or identifying as "alt-right" doesn't necessarily qualify. A person or group must threaten violence, declare it has a violent mission or actually take part in acts of violence.

"It's important that Facebook is a place where people with different views can share their ideas. Debate is part of a healthy society," said Zuckerberg in his post.

To find people or groups that do violate its community standards, Facebook automatically scans posts, including conversations in private and hidden groups. Its technology, which is still in the early stages, flags slurs and violent language. Then those posts are reviewed by people on the community operations teams to determine if they cross the line. Individuals can also flag posts, but that is less likely to occur in closed groups of like-minded individuals.

Related: Facebook wants to be 'hostile' to terrorists

Facebook deletes around 66,000 posts a week that it deems to contain hate speech, the company said in a recent blog post. But groups will continue to exist on the platform and use it to communicate and organize. The platform is an especially important tool for hate groups because it allows them to recruit new members and spread propaganda, says Hankes.

"They want to be where the normal people are. They don't want to be cordoned off," said Hankes. "They don't want to talk to a vacuum."

Hate groups and activists will be watching closely to see if Facebook and other tech companies continue to crack down on hate speech. Hanks predicts there will only be an increase in white supremacist activity in the near future.

"The rhetoric is more extreme than I've seen it in a long time."

10-year-old boy helps deliver baby brother, save mom's life

A 10-year-old boy is being credited with saving the lives of both his newborn baby brother and mother, who did not realize that she was in labor. Ashley Moreau, who was 34 weeks pregnant, said she went to use the bathroom on August 11 when her water broke.

Her son, Jayden Fontenot, of Sulphur, Louisiana, ran next door to alert his grandmother who called 911, and then returned ready to help his mother, who was bleeding out on the bathroom floor.

Fontenot's stepfather, Kelsey Richard, had already left for work, and the boy knew his mother and baby brother couldn't wait for paramedics to arrive, KPLC reported.

"When he got to the bathroom, he just took a deep breath and said, 'OK Mom, just tell me what I need to do,'" Moreau told KPLC. "He didn't look scared, he looked calm and brave and I said 'OK I'm going to tell you what to do and we need to get your brother out as fast as possible because he's breech and he can't breathe."

Fontenot then gently pulled the baby out by his legs but noticed that he was not breathing, KPLC reported. The quick-thinking big brother ran to the kitchen for a nasal aspirator to clear the baby's nose.

"I wasn't even thinking, I was just amazed," Fontenot said. "I didn't know what was going on."

Paramedics arrived shortly after and the two were transferred to a local hospital where doctors called Fontenot's actions life-saving.

"I am so proud of him," Moreau told KPLC. "He is brave, he is strong, he is my hero. I'm just so proud of him. He saved me and his brother's life."

Fontenot's baby brother, named Dax, has been recovering in the hospital's NICU but is expected to be released in the coming days. Fontenot was recognized by the city's mayor at a special assembly at his elementary school, and Aug. 11 has been declared "Jayden Fontenot Day."

"You don't hear about stuff like this," Richard, who didn't find out what had happened until after everyone arrived at the hospital, told KPLC. "It's amazing how brave and everything he was. Calm, collected, he saved their life. He's a hero."

Navy and Marine Corps divers found the remains in the sealed compartments on the  USS John McCain. The ship collided with an oil tanker on the outside of Singapore.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Navy and Marine Corps divers found the remains in the sealed compartments aboard the McCain, said Swift, commander of the Pacific Fleet.

The Royal Malaysian Navy has located one body at sea, and officials are working to determine whether it is one of the missing sailors, he said. Divers have located others.

US military divers continue to search the flooded areas of the McCain. Ships and planes are scouring the seas east of Singapore. Divers will also assess the extent of damage to the warship, which is docked at a Singapore naval facility, according to the Navy.

"Until we have exhausted any potential of recovering survivors or bodies, the search and rescue efforts will continue," Swift said.

The White House expressed its "great sadness" about the incident. "As the Navy begins the process of recovering our fallen sailors, our thoughts and prayers go out to their families and friends," the statement said.

The guided-missile destroyer and the merchant vessel collided Monday east of the Malacca Strait, the fourth time a US warship has been involved in an accident in Asian waters this year.

"This trend demands more forceful action," Adm. John Richardson, chief of naval operations, said. Swift said the Pacific Fleet will complete the operational pause by next Monday.

Swift also said there will be "a deliberate reset for our ships focused on a number of areas, such as navigation, ship's mechanical systems and bridge resource management." A reset refers to the restoration of unit or equipment capability and readiness.

"It will involve training and assessment by a team of experts," he said.

At least seven vessels from the Malaysian and Singapore navies, plus military aircraft from the USS America, are involved in the search near one of the world's most congested shipping lanes.

A Malaysian official said the sea in the area was "quite rough," with waves up to 1 meter (3-feet) high.

One of the missing seamen was named as Petty Officer Logan Palmer in a Facebook post by US Rep. Rodney Davis of Illinois, who said he was in touch with Palmer's family.

Five sailors were injured in the crash, and a Singaporean air force helicopter airlifted four of them to a Singapore hospital.

What caused the accident?

The McCain suffered a steering failure as the warship was beginning its approach into the Strait of Malacca, causing it to collide with a commercial tanker, a Navy official told CNN.

The official said it was unclear why the crew couldn't use the ship's backup steering systems to maintain control.

Earlier, another US Navy official told CNN there were indications the destroyer experienced a loss of steering right before the collision, but steering had been regained afterward.

Swift lauded the "damage control efforts of the crew," such as helping injured sailors and fighting to control the flooding and stability of the ship.

"John S. McCain was up and running as an operational ship almost immediately after the collision. It was quite extraordinary," he said.

The McCain has been towed to Singapore's Changi Naval Base. The other ship, the Alnic MC, a 600-foot, Liberian-flagged oil and chemical tanker, was towed to Singapore's eastern anchorage for inspection.

The collision bears a resemblance to an incident in June involving the USS Fitzgerald, which collided with a container ship off the coast of Japan and led to the deaths of seven US sailors.

In addition, the USS Lake Champlain hit a South Korean fishing boat in May, and the USS Antietam ran aground off the coast of Japan in January.

Lawmakers and defense analysts have warned that longer deployments for ships and less time and money for maintenance and training could be playing a role in the accidents.

A press release on the McCain last week said the crew had completed 350 maintenance and repair jobs while at sea. At least 100 of those were classified as "depot-level" jobs that would usually be conducted at a shipyard.

"We are not letting this deployment eat away at our material readiness," said Cmdr. Jessie Sanchez, the executive officer of McCain. "We continue to maintain our upkeep, so that when we come back, we are just as good if not better than when we left."

There was no indication the collision was intentional or evidence the ship was the target of a cyberattack, but investigators would not discount these possibilities, Richardson told reporters.

"We are taking a look at all (options) as we did with the (USS) Fitzgerald as well," he said.

What actions are being taken?

The spate of accidents suggests there could be a more systemic issue.

"This is the second major collision in the last three months, and is the latest in a series of major incidents, particularly in the Pacific theater," Richardson said as he announced the operational pause.

The United States has ordered a "comprehensive review," which Defense Secretary James Mattis said "will determine any of the causal factors, to determine what's going on -- both immediate contributors to this incident but also any related factors."

The review will take place over a week in a series of 24-hour periods during which on-board actions, as well as leadership and operational procedures, will be examined.

Speaking at the Osan Air Base in South Korea, Adm. Harry Harris, commander of the US forces in the Pacific, said the pause would not have an effect on the ability "to defend our nation and our allies."

The McCain, named for Sen. John McCain's father and grandfather, both of whom were Navy admirals, is one of 84 US warships equipped with the Aegis missile defense system, which has been touted as a possible counter to any North Korean missile launch.

Swift said he was not concerned that the number of ships out of commission would affect the Navy's ability to respond to threats in the region.

"We have a deep bench," he said. "I've got 140,000 sailors that report for duty in the Pacific Fleet every day. I have over 200 ships assigned to me, 60% of the United States Navy is assigned to the Pacific Fleet, so I am highly confident we can respond to any guidance or direction."

Nevertheless, Swift said, "We are very concerned about the four incidents."

Retired Navy Rear Adm. John Kirby, a CNN diplomatic and military analyst, said the Navy will look at a number of factors to try to understand if there's a systemic problem.

"They'll look at the quality of leadership at all levels, the amount and the quality of training that commanders have been able to get done, shipboard watch-standing procedures and qualifications, and system and equipment readiness," Kirby said.

"I suspect they will also want to consider the degree to which the budget uncertainty of the last few years has likewise affected any of those factors."

Criticism in Chinese press

An opinion piece in the state-run China Daily newspaper criticized the wave of accidents, saying the US Navy was becoming "a hazard in Asian waters."

"It may be hard for people to understand why US warships are unable to avoid other vessels since they are equipped with the world's most sophisticated radar and electronic tracking systems, and aided by crew members on constant watch," said the unbylined piece published in the English-language daily.

Calling the Navy a "dangerous obstacle" and an "increasing hindrance to ships sailing in Asian waters," it said there was "no denying the fact that the increased activities by US warships in Asia-Pacific since Washington initiated its rebalancing to the region are making them a growing risk to commercial shipping."

It added that investigations into the cause of the Fitzgerald collision in June "shed some light on the way US warships tend to sail without observing maritime traffic rules and the sloppiness of their crews."

Thirty-two drug dealers were shot and killed in the Philippines. After coming to power in 2016, the new president of the Philippines, President Rodrigo Duterte has started to aggressively deal with drug dealers, hoping that if they can kill a few each day, they may be able to fix the problem in his country.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Police conducted 66 "buy-bust" operations, in which undercover police attempt to buy illegal drugs from suspected dealers, in the province of Bulacan, just north of the capital, Manila, Romeo Caramat Jr., Bulacan Provincial Director Senior Superintendent, said.

Twenty of the "buy bust" operations and 14 searches "resulted in armed encounter," Caramat added.

Since coming to power in June 2016, Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte has unleashed an aggressive crackdown on drugs that has left at least 3,400 alleged dealers and users dead.

On Wednesday he praised the operations, saying, "That's good. If we can only kill 32 every day, maybe we can fix what ails this country," according to a translation by CNN affiliate CNN Philippines.

The number of dead suspects Tuesday is the highest the province has seen in a single night, Caramat said. He referred to the night of police action as a "one-time, big-time" operation, indicating that it was targeting "notorious drug pushers."

In addition to the 32 killed, 107 persons were arrested, he added.

"Some quarters of the society are questioning why that many ended up dead, but all we can say is that we don't have any control of the situation," Caramat added.

"These subjects in this one time big-time operations, they are what we call the notorious drug pushers. They are called notorious. They won't let themselves be arrested alive."

Uncontrollable problem?

Prior to Tuesday's police operation, Bulacan provincial police disclosures show at least 14 drug suspects died in separate police operations over the course of the month.

In July, at least 18 suspects were recorded dead in drug-related operations in the province.

Last week, Duterte said that his administration "can't control" the country's drug problem.

"(Others can't do it. How can we? Those drugs), we can't control it," Duterte said in a mixture of Tagalog and English, according to CNN Philippines.

He suggested that his government didn't have the resources, and the problem was exacerbated by the country's huge coastline -- the Philippines is comprised of over 7,000 islands.

When campaigning for the presidency, he campaigned largely on tough responses to the Philippines' drug problem, vowing to execute 100,000 criminals and dump their bodies into Manila Bay.

He pledged to resign after six months if he had not fixed the drug problem, but later backed away from that promise.

According to Philippines government data, more than 3,400 suspects have been killed in police operations since July.

Local and international human rights groups claim more than 9,000 people -- including vigilante killings and those killed in police operations -- have died as a result of the drug war.

In May, Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano, a staunch ally of Duterte told the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva there had been no sudden wave of killings as a result of the nation's controversial war on drugs, and that reports to the contrary were based on "alternative facts."

The chance of picking all six winning Powerball numbers is about one in 292 million. The game has become even more difficult to win since an October 2015 rule change.

The jackpot still has to grow quite a bit to become the biggest in American history. A $1.6 billion Powerball jackpot was claimed by three winning tickets after the drawing on January 13, 2016.

Tuesday, in the early morning, 42 people were injured outside of Philadelphia. This happened when a high-speed train hit a parked train.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
More than 40 people were injured on Tuesday after a high-speed train made contact with an unoccupied parked train outside Philadelphia, according to official with the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority.

The collision happened just after midnight at a transportation terminal in Upper Darby, about 30 minutes west of Philadelphia, a SEPTA spokeswoman said.

Forty-two people, including the train's operator, sustained non-life-threatening injuries, she said.

The spokeswoman did not specify how the trains made contact but said the collision involved two trains, including an inbound train on SEPTA's Norristown High Speed line.

The collision is under investigation, and police, medics and safety operations workers are on scene, SEPTA officials said.

In an early morning briefing, Upper Darby Mayor Nicholas Micozzie said victims were taken to area hospitals and that four people suffered serious injuries, according to The Associated Press.

One witness, who said he was on the train at the time of the collision, said it occurred just as he stood up to get off the train.

"My face hit the wall, put a big hole in the wall, and I went straight down. I blacked out," the witness said in an interview with KYW-CBS on Tuesday. "There was blood everywhere. The driver was all banged up, and there was this one girl bleeding out of her face pretty bad."

The Power Ball jackpot is listed at 700 million dollars. Players would have  had to bought a $2 ticket and have the matching numbers on their ticket in order to win.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The estimated jackpot for Wednesday night's Powerball lottery game has climbed to $700 million, making it the second-largest in U.S. history.

Some details about the game and how the prize has grown so large:

---

WHEN IS THE DRAWING AND HOW DOES THE GAME WORK?

The drawing will be Wednesday at 10:59 p.m. Eastern Time in Tallahassee, Florida. Five white balls will be drawn from a drum containing 69 balls and one red ball will be selected from a drum with 26 balls. To win, players need to have paid $2 for a ticket and either have chosen numbers or opted to let a computer make a random choice.

---

THE PRIZE

The jackpot is listed as $700 million, but that refers to the annuity option, doled out in 30 payments over 29 years. Nearly all winners favor the cash option, which pays significantly less. For the current jackpot, the cash prize would be $443.3 million.

---

THE ODDS

The odds of winning are one in 292.2 million. Tom Rietz, a professor at the University of Iowa who researches probabilities, says one way to think about it is to envision the 324 million U.S. residents. Your chance of winning is roughly comparable to being that one lucky person out of the entire population, with everyone else losing.

---

TAXES

Federal income taxes will take a 25 percent bite from winnings. State taxes vary, so the amount winners will pay in taxes depend on where they play. Some of the nation's biggest states, including California and Texas, don't assess state taxes on lottery prizes, so winners in those spots would be just a bit richer.

---

WHAT IF I MATCH SOME BUT NOT ALL THE NUMBERS?

Face it, you're almost certainly not going to win the jackpot, but players have much better odds of one in 25 of winning a lesser prize. Those odds range from one in 11.7 million of winning $1 million for matching the five regular balls to one in 38 for matching the Powerball and winning $4.

---

WHAT'S THE POINT OF POWERBALL?

Amid all the talk about sudden wealth, it's easy to forget that the purpose of Powerball is to raise money for government programs in the 44 states where the game is played, as well as Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Each jurisdiction decides how to spend the money raised by Powerball and other lottery games, with some funding college scholarships, others spending the money on transportation and many using it for general state programs.

The Trump administration is imposing sanctions on 16 mainly Chinese and Russian companies and people for assisting North Korea's nuclear and ballistic missile programs and helping the North make money to support those programs.

The Treasury Department says the penalties are intended to further isolate North Korea for its nuclear and missile tests.

The 16 do business with previously sanctioned companies and people, work with the North Korean energy sector, help it place workers abroad or evade international financial curbs.

The measures block any assets they may have in U.S. jurisdictions and bar Americans from transactions with them.

Those sanctioned include six Chinese companies, two Singapore-based companies that sell oil to North Korea, a Russian company, four Russian nationals and a construction company based in Namibia.

A women in Nevada arrest after caught tossing children in a daycare.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A Nevada daycare worker was arrested Monday after she was caught on camera grabbing and tossing a 5-year-old child.

Henderson police said Aleana Estepp, 20, was arrested on a felony child abuse charge, FOX 5 Las Vegas reported.

The mother of the child, Nina Pitts, told FOX 5 the incident happened Aug. 10, when her daughter said the "teacher had thrown her," and she later asked the facility to see the surveillance video.

"You can see in the video that she walked back with aggression, and went back and stomped and just slammed her on the ground, and that's not what you do to anybody," Pitta said. "Let alone a five-year-old."

Estepp told police the classroom was over capacity the day of the incident, and that another student had complained the 5-year-old was kicking her, according to the arrest report. The student complained the 5-year-old kicked her again, so Estepp "tried to remove her from the situation."

She told cops she recalled being "angry" because the child wasn't listening and "pulled her," but lost her grip, causing the kid to slide acrpss the carpet, FOX 5 reported.

"I guess I removed her a little too hard," Estepp told police, according to the arrest report.

Pitts said that staff told her Estepp was fired after the incident. The owner of the daycare told FOX 5 she was devastated to see the video and will use it to train staff on what not to do.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Police say that while more than 200 people were inside Californos restaurant Sunday night in Westport when an off-duty Lee's Summit police officer was killed, only a handful have come forward to help them find the killer.

Thirty-year-old Thomas Orr, Jr, was off-duty, attending a young professional's party at Californos restaurant when he was shot and killed. The event had ended at 8 p.m., but man remained and mingled.

Witness say two men, not Orr, got into an argument on the back patio of the restaurant. One of them pulled a gun and began shooting. One of the bullets hit and killed Officer Orr.

""I heard at least three gunshots. Everybody started running and making their way to the exit. I was pushed towards the exit, but then I turned back around and headed back into the gunfire to find out what was actually going on? When I went back in I found a young lady injured and three people were tending to her and then I saw the young man slumped over on the floor," recalls Chris Johnson, 39, who was also at the restaurant for the professionals' meeting.

He spotted the only bleeding victim; Orr was slumped over on the floor.

"I noticed one bullet wound to the right shoulder. The back, right shoulder," Johnson said.

Johnson is an author, a scientist, and a Kansas City-native who was on vacation from Los Angeles.

He says a Westport security officer handed him a pocket knife.

"I took it and I cut the young man's shirt off to make sure I didn't see any usual wounds on his front torso," said Johnson.

Johnson says he screamed for help and several other patrons ran over, grabbed ice-filled towels and applied pressure to Orr's wound.

"As one of the young ladies was holding pressure on the wound, I had another young man helping me by patting the towel and ice," Johnson said. "He was looking at us, so I had eye contact and I said, 'You stay with me! You just stay with me!'"

But Chris Johnson says Officer Orr died in his arms.

"As soon as I let his hand go, rather, his wrist go, that's when I believe he faded out. It hurts me to reflect on it. I'm now getting all these phone calls and people are telling me how brave I am and I don't believe I was brave because we lost him. I just was doing what any human should do. We all should care for each other. I just wanted to save his life," adds Johnson, who spent several hours at the shooting scene talking to Kansas City police officers about what he remembers about the shooting, a shooting Johnson will never forget.

Thomas Orr, Jr. is a graduate of Lincoln University in St. Joseph, Missouri and a member of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity. Orr dedicated his life to public service as a Marshall, Mo., police officer, then in 2015, he moved to the Lee's Summit police department, assigned as the school resource officer at Bernard Campbell Middle School.

"He was very passionate about kids, being someone who can be a positive role model," said friend and fraternity brother Brandon Kendrick. "That was the biggest thing, being able to be a voice to do what's right and he was proud of the job he was doing."

Lee's Summit Police Chief Travis Forbes echoed Kendrick's sentiment in a message he sent out Monday, saying, "Officer Orr was someone who truly wanted to make a positive difference in this world. What a loss to our community and society."

If you were there at Californos in Westport Sunday night or have any information about the man who pulled the gun, police want to hear from you.

"We need details. We need for your viewers to call us. We want them to understand that we are here to protect them," said Sgt. Kari Thompson, KCMO Police spokesperson.

"I felt so sad because that officer lost his life. Again, I just tried to save his life not knowing he was a police officer. One officer did comfort me a bit when he said "thank you for all you did," says Johnson.

Police said the suspect -- described as a tall, light-skinned black male with a very muscular build -- with three other man fled the scene after the shooting.

Anyone who has any information that can help police with the Orr shooting investigation is urged to call the TIPS HOTLINE at (816) 474-T.I.P.S (8477.)

A woman was also shot in the arm and is expected to recover. Police say she was also an innocent bystander and was not involved in the disturbance.

The Lee's Summit School District issued the following statement about Orr:
"We are heartbroken by the tragic loss of Officer Orr. During his brief time as a school resource officer at Bernard Campbell Middle School, he impressed our staff with his positive attitude and his focus on students. In just three short days with students last week, he was already making connections and building rapport."
This letter was sent out to parents Monday morning from the LS School District.

Dear BCMS Families,
We have some tragic news to share with you about one of our school staff members. Officer Thomas Orr, our school's resource officer, passed away Sunday evening as a result of a random shooting in Kansas City. Officer Orr was new to our school and had been working with students since the first week of school. Despite his brief tenure at BCMS, he had impressed staff by quickly establishing rapport with our students. We will miss his positive attitude and focus on students. On Tuesday, we will have additional counselors available at our school to work with students and staff members as needed. Young people may deal with loss in many different ways including feeling sad, "clinging" to other adults or friends, fearing the loss of others close to them, and eating or sleeping disturbances. Information about helping children cope with grief is included on the R-7 website at http://www.lsr7.net by selecting "Parents" and then "Parenting Information."
