The charges were brought against Cleveland police officers Timothy Loehmann, Frank Garmback and William Cunningham, who were all on the scene when Rice was shot, city officials said in a press conference Friday afternoon. The city's Quality Control Office, Integrity Control Section and Critical Incident Review Committee reviewed the case and recommended administrative charges, the mayor's office said in a press release.

In December 2015, Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson announced that the review would be conducted, saying, "People are upset, and legitimately and rightfully so."

Cleveland Police Chief Calvin Williams reviewed the findings of the report and referred them to the Department of Public Safety for a final determination on the appropriate disciplinary action.

DPS Director Michael McGrath will hold disciplinary hearings for the three officers, who face discipline ranging from 11 days suspension to termination, according to the mayor's office.

The DPS Quality Control Office also conducted an investigation into the hiring of Loehmann, specifically his application documents, the mayor's office said. Administrative charges against a fourth officer are expected, according to the mayor's office.

In November 2014, Loehmann shot Rice as he was holding a toy gun at a Cleveland playground. The boy's sister ran to the gazebo where he was shot in a state of panic, and Cunningham and Garmback restrained her before handcuffing her and placing her in the back of the patrol car, according to a report by the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor's Office.

"It was Officer Cunningham's idea to place her in the back of the car since she would not calm down," the report from the prosecutor's office stated.

An Ohio grand jury declined to indict Loehmann or his partner, Garmback, in the boy's death. The prosecutor at the time, Timothy McGinty, who recommended no charges be filed, said Loehmann "had reason to fear for his life" and that it was "indisputable" from video evidence that Rice was reaching for the gun, though he called the shooting a "tragedy."

The City of Cleveland settled a $6 million wrongful death suit by the boy's family in the case, although there was no admission of wrongdoing.

After the shooting, Loehmann and Garmback had been placed on restricted duties, which is a paid administrative position, the president of the Cleveland Police Patrolmen's Association told ABC News in 2015.

The CPPA said it was "encouraged" that Loehmann "has not been charged with any wrongdoing" in Rice's shooting and emphasized that he "did nothing wrong that day."

"There is no question, and there has never been, that the death of Tamir Rice was tragic," the police union said. "Nevertheless, all agree that Officer Loehmann was not wrong in reacting the way he did. It appears that the actual charges are created to discipline him, and perhaps discharge him, despite the fact that he did nothing wrong that day."

The CPPA also called the administrative action against Garmback "disappointing."

It is not clear whether Cunningham was placed on restricted duties after the shooting.

The Critical Incident Review Committee was created in February 2016 to "conduct a thorough review administrative review of the actions of all employees and officers involved" in the incident, according to a press release from the city of Cleveland. It consists of members of the Cleveland Division of Police Command Staff, Integrity Control Section and Training Section, along with members of the City of Cleveland Law Department.

ISIS fanatic behind paris massacre says he gets love letters in prison.

The chief suspect in the deadly ISIS attacks which killed 130 people in Paris has described being hailed an "idol" and "star" in letters from fans.
IRAQI FORCES ENTER MOSUL UNIVERSITY, TACTICAL ACHIEVEMENT IN ISIS BATTLE
Belgian-born Salah Abdeslam is accused of helping the terrorists who slaughtered innocent civilians in the French capital on November 13, 2015.

After four months on the run, Abdeslam, who is accused of driving the attackers to their location and helping to manufacture the explosives, was arrested in the Molenbeek area of Brussels.
FIRST WAVE OF HUNGARY'S 'BORDER HUNTERS' PREPARES TO PUSH BACK REFUGEES
Since his arrest, the 27-year-old has refused to cooperate with authorities and lawyers representing him quit because he refused to talk.

Abdeslam, who is of Moroccan descent, remains under 24-hour CCTV surveillance in the prison of Fleury-Mérogis in northern France, Europe's largest jail with 3,800 inmates.

Now a letter sent by Abdeslam to a woman from prison has been published by French newspaper Liberation.

The terror suspect talks about getting letters from adoring fans and how he is "not ashamed" of who he is.

The letter reads: "First of all, I'm not afraid of letting anything slip because I'm not ashamed of what I am - and then what worse could be said than what's already been said.

"I'm writing to you without knowing how to start, I got all your letters and I don't know whether I've enjoyed them or not, they definitely let me spend a bit of time in the outside world.

"Since you've been straightforward I will be too, if I ask you what your intentions are it's to reassure myself that you don't love me like a "star" or an "idol" because I get messages like that and I don't endorse that because the only person who deserves to be adored is Allah."

A source told the Liberation paper that the Paris attacks suspect is bombarded by letters.

"Catholics wrote to him to ask about his faith, women shout their love and say they want to carry his child, lawyers offering their services is endless," the said.

In September, Abdeslam "exercised his right to silence" for the third time during a court appearance in the French capital.

Yesterday it emerged two more suspects have been charged in connection with the Paris terror attacks, accused of providing documents for the preparation, according to Belgian officials.

Chicago police use excessive force, DOJ finds

The Chicago Police Department has unconstitutionally engaged in a pattern of excessive and deadly force, US Attorney General Loretta Lynch said Friday, wrapping up a 13-month federal probe of a department that has been under heavy scrutiny over officer-involved shootings.

As a result of the probe, the city and the Justice Department, which began investigating the CPD in December 2015, have agreed to negotiate a reform plan that would be overseen by a federal judge, Lynch said in Chicago.

Chicago police officers' use of excessive force, she said, stemmed in large part from what the Justice Department found were severely insufficient training and accountability procedures -- including failing to train officers to de-escalate situations.

Home intruder kills woman with her own samurai sword

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A home invader killed a woman with her own samurai sword during a bizarre midday attack in Southern California, authorities said.

A 40-year-old woman and a male pal, 42, were at her home in the Los Angeles suburb of Temple City when the 44-year-old assailant broke in through an unlocked front door at 12:05 p.m. on Wednesday, sheriff's deputies told the San Gabriel Valley Tribune.

The violent lunatic attacked the woman with a wrench he brought with him, and then grabbed a decorative samurai sword hanging on a wall to finish her off, authorities said.

The victim's male friend was also injured in the attack but is expected to survive. The woman's 10-year-old son was also in the house but wasn't hurt.

About two hours later, the suspect surrendered to deputies, officials said.

The daughter of the late superstar responded on Twitter when asked her thoughts about Fiennes portraying her father in a British TV production.

"I'm so incredibly offended by it, as i'm sure plenty of people are as well, and it honestly makes me want to vomit," she tweeted.

Fiennes stars with Stockard Channing as Elizabeth Taylor and Brian Cox as Marlon Brando in "Urban Myths," a series of "tru ... ish" stories including a fabled one in which the three stars supposedly took a cross-country road trip together after 9/11.

Paris Jackson said she also took offense at the portrayal of Taylor, a good friend of her father's and her godmother.

"It angers me to see how obviously intentional it was for them to be this insulting, not just towards my father, but my godmother liz as well," Jackson tweeted.

"Where is the respect," she added. "They worked through blood sweat and tears for ages to create such profound and remarkable legacies. Shameful portrayal."

The casting choice of Fiennes left some fans furious.

During a 1993 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Michael Jackson rejected the idea of a white actor portraying him.

Freezing rain began overnight across parts of Oklahoma, southern Kansas and Missouri. The atmosphere was turbulent enough that thunder rumbled during an episode of freezing rain in Joplin, Missouri. Forecasters said ice could cause power outages and numerous crashes on the region's roadways. The storm system brought heavy snow and floods to California earlier this week.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A thick glaze of ice covered roads from Oklahoma to southern Illinois on Friday amid a winter storm that caused numerous wrecks, forced cancellation of schools, grounded flights and prompted dire warnings for people to stay home.

THE WEEK IN PICTURES
Winter storms are typically associated with heavy snowfall, but the one hammering the southern Plains and Midwest dumped freezing rain, a condition even harder for road crews to treat. A slick roadway was suspected in a fatal wreck in Missouri, where long stretches of Interstate 44 and Interstate 55 were ice-covered.

More freezing precipitation was expected in parts of the nation's central corridor throughout most of the holiday weekend.
COUPLE LEFT FOR DEAD ON GLACIER IN FIERCE ICELANDIC SNOWSTORM
"There's no mystery to driving on ice," Missouri State Highway Patrol Sgt. Al Nothum said. "It's impossible to do. You have to slow your speed down."

Hundreds of schools were closed, including several college campuses. St. Louis closed all city operations as it braced for its worst ice storm in at least a decade. Several Missouri prisons halted visiting hours.

The weather atmosphere was so turbulent that thunder rumbled as freezing rain fell in Joplin, Missouri.

Several utility companies brought in all available crews who were working extended shifts in anticipation of heavy ice snapping trees and power lines. Scattered outages were reported, including about 2,500 in Springfield, Missouri.

Forecasters issued ice storm warnings from the Oklahoma and Texas panhandles into southern Illinois, with up to 1 inch of ice expected in some locations. Precipitation is forecast to fall in waves Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Residents were taking the warnings seriously. Grocery stores were selling out of bread, milk and other necessities, and hardware stores were running out of flashlights, batteries and alternative energy sources.

"They're grabbing generators, and I'm sold out," said Raymond Bopp, assistant manager of the Woodward Ace Hardware store in Woodward, Oklahoma, about 140 miles northwest of Oklahoma City.

Several states activated emergency management procedures. In Oklahoma, Gov. Mary Fallin declared a disaster emergency. The state set up generators and supplies at temporary shelters in the northern part of the state. Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens and top cabinet officials manned an emergency operations center. Kansas officials were still waiting for the worst of it, with freezing rain in much of the state expected to arrive Saturday.

Missouri Department of Transportation crews were working 12-hour shifts to treat roads and highways, though as some of the freezing rain melted, it washed the chemicals away, said Linda Wilson Horn, a spokeswoman for MoDOT.

"It'll be a long, constant battle for our crews," Horn said.

A driver was killed Friday morning when his SUV veered off of Interstate 55 near Festus, Missouri, south of St. Louis. Nothum said the accident appeared to be weather-related since freezing rain had caused the roadway to become icy. The highway patrol said two other people were hurt in weather-related wrecks.

Lambert Airport spokesman Jeff Lea said that by late morning, 60 arriving flights and 48 departing flights at Missouri's largest airport have been canceled due to the ice. A handful of flights were canceled at Oklahoma City's Will Rogers World Airport, but the airport remained open, according to a spokesman.

The storm began in California, dumping heavy snowfall in higher elevations that led to the evacuation of thousands of people as rivers surged.

Chicago police use excessive force,DOJ finds:The Chicago Police Department has unconstitutionally engaged in a pattern of excessive and deadly force, US Attorney General Loretta Lynch said Friday, wrapping up a 13-month federal probe of a department that has been under heavy scrutiny over officer-involved shootings.

As a result of the probe, the city and the Justice Department, which began investigating the CPD in December 2015, have agreed to negotiate a reform plan that would be overseen by a federal judge, Lynch said in Chicago.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The city and the Justice Department have agreed to negotiate a reform plan that would be overseen by a federal judge, Lynch saidin Chicago.

The Justice Department, which began its investigation amid public uproar over the 2014 fatal shooting by Chicago police of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald, said it found numerous incidents of unjustified force, including:

* Shooting at fleeing suspects who presented no immediate threat;

* Shooting at vehicles without justification;

* Using Tasers on people who posed no threat;

* Using force to retaliate against and punish people.

The Justice Department's 161-page report on the probe took issue with the city panel that reviews use of force. In a few cases where the Justice Department determined that force was unnecessary, the city panel found that officers' actions were justified.

"The resulting deficit in trust and accountability is not just bad for residents -- it's also bad for dedicated police officers trying to do their jobs safely and effectively," Lynch said.

Chicago's problems stem in part from severely insufficient training and accountability procedures, Lynch said.

"CPD has not provided officers with adequate guidance to understand how and when they may use force, or how to safely and effectively control and resolve encounters to reduce the need to use force," the report says.

'Misconduct will not be tolerated'

Mayor Rahm Emanuel said the police department has upgraded use-of-force policies, provided every officer with a body camera and made other changes.

"While the Chicago Police Department has made real progress and achieved meaningful reforms, the incidents described in this report are sobering to all of us," he said in prepared remarks. "Police misconduct will not be tolerated anywhere in this city and those who break the rules will be held accountable for their actions."

Dean C. Angelo Sr., president of the Chicago Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 7, expressed concerns about what he termed the "lightning speed" of the DOJ investigation.

"Completing an investigation into the 12,000 member Chicago Police Department, and in a city with more than 2 million citizens in less than one year, clearly brings to light that the outgoing DOJ wanted to issue a report before the new administration takes over on January 20, 2017," he said in a statement. "What also remains to be seen is whether or not the report might be considered compromised, or incomplete as a result of rushing to get it out before the Presidential Inauguration."

Friday's announcement came a day after the Justice Department announced a deal on a plan to reform police policies in Baltimore, after a similar investigation found that police there searched and arrested a disproportionate number of African-Americans and used excessive force against juveniles.

Shooting at fleeing suspects

The Justice Department's report detailed examples of what it said was excessive force by Chicago police officers, including:

* The shooting of a fleeing, unarmed suspect in the back.

"The officer told investigators the suspect had turned around to point a black object. This account did not square with the location of the shooting victim's gunshot wounds and appeared contrary to video footage that showed the suspect running away from the officer," the report says, without revealing the names or date involved.

The city's review panel, the Independent Police Review Authority, accepted the officer's account "despite the conflicting evidence," and issued a report that did not mention the video, the Justice Department says.

* The fatal shooting of a pedestrian who ran after being ordered to freeze "because he had been fidgeting with his waistband."

"Three officers gave chase and began shooting as they ran. In total, the officers fired 45 rounds, including 28 rifle rounds, toward the man," the report says. "Several rounds struck the man, killing him. The officers claimed the man fired at them during the pursuit. Officers found no gun on the man.

"However, officers reported recovering a handgun nearly one block away. The gun ... was later determined to be fully loaded and inoperable, and forensic testing determined there was no gunshot residue on the man's hand."

IPRA "found the officers' actions were justified without addressing the efficacy of the pursuit or the number of shots fired," the report says.

* Threats and force against boys who were accused of playing basketball on an officer's property, after a neighbor had called to report them.

"The officer pointed his gun at them, used profanity, and threatened to put their heads through a wall and to blow up their homes," the report says. "The boys claim that the officer forced them to kneel and lie face-down, handcuffed together, leaving visible injuries on their knees and wrists.

"Once released, one boy called his mother crying to tell her an officer had pointed a gun at his face; another boy went home and showed his mother his scraped leg and, visibly upset, said 'the police did this to me.' "

After the incident was reported to IPRA, the officer received a five-day suspension, but "was never interviewed and his reasons for not contesting the allegations are not documented in the file," the report says.

Chicago police under scrutiny for shootings

The Justice Department began investigating Chicago police in December 2015 in the wake of several high-profile cases of alleged police misconduct, including the death of McDonald, whose case spurred protests and helped fuel a national conversation about police officers' use of deadly force. The report said the department had violated safeguards in the Fourth Amendment.

McDonald, a black teen, was shot 16 times as he walked away from officers in October 2014. His death went largely unacknowledged until November 2015, when a judge ordered the release of dashboard camera footage that contradicted officers' accounts of the shooting.

Just before the video was released, Officer Jason Van Dyke was charged with first-degree murder; he pleaded not guilty and is awaiting trial.

The video outraged many Chicagoans, who took to the streets to protest what they felt was an excessive use of force and dishonesty by police who initially accused McDonald of threatening them.

In the fallout of the case, the police superintendent resigned and many called for Emanuel to do the same. But Emanuel held firm and vowed to repair the department's trust with the African-American community.

The mayor had said of the DOJ investigation back in 2015: "We accept it, and we need it."

'No regard for the sanctity of life'

The mayor created an independent task force to examine the police force, which released a report in April that accused the department of institutional racism and described its accountability system as broken.

That report said police "have no regard for the sanctity of life when it comes to people of color" and have alienated blacks and Hispanics with the use of force and a longstanding code of silence.

As the department has grappled with allegations of excessive force, it also has battled a soaring homicide rate. Chicago had a staggering 762 murders in 2016, marking the city's deadliest year in nearly two decades.

The Justice Department's report touched on the homicide surge, saying that for Chicago to find solutions, "it is imperative that the city rebuild trust between (the police department) and the people it serves."

Under increasing criticism, the Chicago Police Department has pledged changes, including how it trains officers on the use of force.

Last year, Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson announced that all police officers soon would be required to wear body cameras and that 970 additional sworn positions would be added over the next two years to provide "new blood" to the department.

In addition to the human toll, the alleged police misconduct has weighed heavily on the city coffers in terms of settlements. Chicago spent nearly $642 million on alleged police misconduct from 2004 through 2015, according to a Better Government Association analysis.

New Hampshire parents plan bucket list for 9 year old daughter with brain cancer

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In just a few short weeks, 9-year-old Ciara Brills' life has changed dramatically. First, it started with headaches that painkillers couldn't relieve. Then, on Christmas, her family noticed she had a lazy eye. The following day, doctors diagnosed her with a malignant brain tumor.

Brills, of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, has a diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), a type of tumor found almost exclusively in children, Fox 25 reported. DIPG tumors are notoriously aggressive, difficult to treat, and, due to their placement on the brain stem, affect breathing, blood pressure and heart rate.

While their daughter's life may soon be cut short, the Brills family plans to make what could be Ciara's final days as fun and pleasant as possible by creating a bucket list for her.

"I want to show her the world, as much as we can," Ciara's father, Harold Brills, told Fox 25.

Family friends have started a GoFundMe page to help the family cover bucket list expenses, as well as medical expenses and missed work. As of Friday, they had raised over $52,800 of their $100,000 goal.

Brills went home from the hospital on New Year's Eve. On Friday, the family updated their Facebook page to share that Ciara is to start radiation as soon as possible, likely next week, as recommended by doctors at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

In 2015, Mount St. Joseph basketball player Lauren Hill died more than a year after she was diagnosed with DIPG. Before her death, she advocated for research and treatment of DIPG and her efforts raised more than $1.4 million.

The man who came upon the scene warned the suspect to stop striking the officer, but the assailant continued, said Capt. Damon Cecil, a spokesman for the Arizona Department of Public Safety.

The good Samaritan got a gun from his car and shot the suspect, who died at the scene.

The trooper, a 27-year veteran, was shot in the chest and shoulder. He is in serious and stable condition, Cecil said.

The trooper was identified Friday as Ed Andersson.

Col. Frank Milstead, director of the Public Safety Department, said he would like to thank the man who stepped in. "I don't know that my trooper would be alive today without his assistance," he said, according to CNN affiliate KNXV-TV in Phoenix.

Unusual circumstances

Public safety spokesman Bart Graves said the incident began with the trooper responding to report of shots fired from the median of an unlit, rural section of Interstate 10 near Tonopah. Andersson came across a vehicle that had rolled over and got out to investigate. While Andersson was setting flares, the suspect shot him.

It was not clear where the suspect was when the officer pulled up.

Milstead said at some point the suspect started beating Andersson, who was unable to use his right arm to defend himself. That's when the motorist pulled up and opened fire on the suspect.

"It's fairly rare" that citizens who come to the aid of law enforcement officers use deadly force, Cecil said.

Another motorist who stopped used the trooper's portable radio to call in the shooting.

The conversation between that driver and the dispatcher was very businesslike, Cecil said.

"Hello. Officer down, officer down outside Tonopah. Come in, please," the man says, according to audio archived on Broadcastify, which streams radio communications between emergency responders. "He's in real bad shape. Please send air support, helicopter, please."

He tells the dispatcher there are two other people who are down in an "unknown condition."

Cecil praised the motorists who stopped to help, saying, "They were calm, determined."

A woman who was ejected from the vehicle died at a hospital, authorities said.

Authorities didn't release the names of the people involved in the incident, which occurred after 4 a.m. near mile marker 89, west of Tonopah. That city is about 50 miles west of Phoenix.

CNN's Keith Allen contributed to this report.

Guy pays $300,000 fine at the dmv in pennies

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A Virginia man who had a beef with the Department of Motor Vehicles settled his sales tax bill with 298,745 pennies.

Workers at the DMV office in Lebanon, in rural southwestern Virginia, had to spend hours counting the pennies by hand when the coin-counting machine jammed.

Nick Stafford carted the pennies into the DMV in five wheelbarrows Wednesday. The coins weighed 1,600 pounds.

"If they were going to inconvenience me, then I was going to inconvenience them," he told the Bristol Herald Courier.

The paper reported that Stafford became incensed in September when he attempted to call the Lebanon DMV and was routed to a call center in faraway Richmond.

That led Stafford to file three lawsuits after he couldn't get the phone numbers of nine local DMV offices. On Tuesday a judge dismissed the cases after an attorney for the DMV gave Stafford the numbers, the paper reported.

Stafford paid 11 people a total of $440 to scatter the pennies out of their rolls with hammers.

The wheelbarrows cost him another $400.

Stafford says he owed the DMV $2,987.14 in sales tax after purchasing two new SUVs with cash.

During a 1993 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Michael Jackson rejected the idea of a white actor portraying him.

An Arizona trooper who had been shot and was being beaten by a man with a pistol was saved Thursday by a motorist who killed his attacker, authorities said.

The man who came upon the scene warned the suspect to stop striking the officer, but the assailant continued, said Capt. Damon Cecil, a spokesman for the Arizona Department of Public Safety.

The man who came upon the scene warned the suspect to stop striking the officer, but the assailant continued, said Capt. Damon Cecil, a spokesman for the Arizona Department of Public Safety.

The good Samaritan got a gun from his car and shot the suspect, who died at the scene.

The trooper, a 27-year veteran, was shot in the chest and shoulder. He is in serious and stable condition, Cecil said.

The trooper was identified Friday as Ed Andersson.

Col. Frank Milstead, director of the Public Safety Department, said he would like to thank the man who stepped in. "I don't know that my trooper would be alive today without his assistance," he said, according to CNN affiliate KNXV-TV in Phoenix.

Unusual circumstances

Public safety spokesman Bart Graves said the incident began with the trooper responding to report of shots fired from the median of an unlit, rural section of Interstate 10 near Tonopah. Andersson came across a vehicle that had rolled over and got out to investigate. While Andersson was setting flares, the suspect shot him.

It was not clear where the suspect was when the officer pulled up.

Milstead said at some point the suspect started beating Andersson, who was unable to use his right arm to defend himself. That's when the motorist pulled up and opened fire on the suspect.

"It's fairly rare" that citizens who come to the aid of law enforcement officers use deadly force, Cecil said.

Another motorist who stopped used the trooper's portable radio to call in the shooting.

The conversation between that driver and the dispatcher was very businesslike, Cecil said.

"Hello. Officer down, officer down outside Tonopah. Come in, please," the man says, according to audio archived on Broadcastify, which streams radio communications between emergency responders. "He's in real bad shape. Please send air support, helicopter, please."

He tells the dispatcher there are two other people who are down in an "unknown condition."

Cecil praised the motorists who stopped to help, saying, "They were calm, determined."

A woman who was ejected from the vehicle died at a hospital, authorities said.

Authorities didn't release the names of the people involved in the incident, which occurred after 4 a.m. near mile marker 89, west of Tonopah. That city is about 50 miles west of Phoenix.

CNN's Keith Allen contributed to this report.
