An 18-year-old man wanted in the murder of a Georgia cop was shot and killed by police Monday, two days after authorities launched a manhunt for him and just hours after a "credible sighting."

Tafahree Maynard was shot and killed by police Monday after officers began investigating a tip the suspect was spotted in the Snellville area within the last 12 hours. Officers encountered Maynard in a shed and he "failed to comply with verbal commands," authorities said. An officer reportedly deployed a Taser and found Maynard was holding a weapon behind his back, leading to a second cop firing his gun.

Maynard is accused of shooting Gwinnett County police officer Antwan Toney, 30, who was responding to a suspicious vehicle parked near Shiloh Middle School on Saturday.

The bullet missed Toney's bulletproof vest and hit him directly.

"Other responding officers returned fire and pulled Ofc. Toney to cover," police said Saturday. "The suspect vehicle fled the scene; it is unknown if anyone in the vehicle was struck by return fire."

Toney was taken to the hospital where he later died.

Maynard remained at large after the shooting while a second suspect, 19-year-old Isaiah Pretlow, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault related to a separate incident following Toney's fatal shooting.

Police said Maynard was considered "armed and dangerous."

Toney was six days away from celebrating his third year with the department when he was killed. Originally from Southern California, he previously worked as a security guard before joining the Gwinnett County Police Department in 2015.

"Atwan knew he wanted to be a police officer since he was a child. He had cop figurines, police cars. He used to roll around the house all the time," Toney's sister Carla Johnson told FOX5 Atlanta.

A visitation will be held Tuesday and a funeral Wednesday for Toney.

Two anti-rape activists won the Nobel Peace Prize, a doctor and a woman who spent 3 months as a sex slave

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The 2018 Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to campaigners against rape in warfare Nadia Murad and Denis Mukwege.

Berit Reiss-Andersen, the Nobel committee chair, said the pair were "crucial" in fighting the crimes.

Ms Murad is a Yazidi woman who was tortured and raped by Islamic State militants. Mr Mukwege is a Congolese gynaecologist who has treated victims.

Some 331 individuals and organisations were nominated for the prestigious peace award this year.

The winners announced in Oslo on Friday won the award for their "efforts to end the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war," Ms Reiss-Andersen said.

Denis Mukwege: Rape surgeon of DR Congo

Nadia Murad wins human rights award

Mr Mukwege and his colleagues in DR Congo are said to have treated about 30,000 rape victims, developing great expertise in the treatment of serious sexual injuries, many in instances of war.

Ms Murad became the face of a campaign to free the Yazidi people and stop human trafficking after escaping IS in November 2014.

Earlier this week the Nobel prize for physics was awarded to Donna Strickland, only the third woman winner of the award and the first in 55 years. The Canadian was announced along with Arthur Ashkin, from the US, and Gerard Mourou, from France.

The Nobel prize for medicine was awarded to two scientists - Professor James P Allison from the US and Professor Tasuku Honjo from Japan - who discovered how to fight cancer using the body's immune system.

WASHINGTON - Senior White House officials and Senate Republicans were increasingly confident Thursday morning that summaries of interviews conducted by the F.B.I. would help clear Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh's path to confirmation, people familiar with the information collected said.

But Republican leaders on Capitol Hill were hesitant to declare Judge Kavanaugh, President Trump's second Supreme Court nominee, in the clear before three undecided Republicans who helped initiate the F.B.I. review had a chance to examine the results themselves.

Those senators - Susan Collins of Maine, Jeff Flake of Arizona and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska - were expected to receive briefings on the findings about multiple sexual misconduct allegations against the judge on Thursday morning and then review the F.B.I. interview summaries later in the day.

"I've now received a committee staff briefing on the F.B.I.'s supplement to Judge Kavanaugh's background investigation file," said Senator Charles E. Grassley of Iowa, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, in a statement Thursday. "There's nothing in it that we didn't already know. These uncorroborated accusations have been unequivocally and repeatedly rejected by Judge Kavanaugh, and neither the Judiciary Committee nor the F.B.I. could locate any third parties who can attest to any of the allegations."

Foreshadowing a day of intense partisan spin, Democrats, who had not yet completed their own review of the F.B.I.'s material, were preparing Thursday morning to aggressively challenge the legitimacy of the investigation. They said the F.B.I., at the White House's direction, had left key witnesses off the interview list and left leads unexplored.

In a preview of the Democrats' argument, NARAL Pro-Choice America, the abortion rights group, released a statement early Thursday calling the investigation a "sham" that "was rigged from the beginning, just like every single step of the G.O.P.'s shameless process to confirm Kavanaugh by any means necessary."

The White House was prepared to push back hard. Mr. Trump predicted on Twitter that the results, and Democratic attacks on Judge Kavanaugh, would have "an incredible upward impact on voters."

"The PEOPLE get it far better than the politicians," he wrote. "Most importantly, this great life cannot be ruined by mean & despicable Democrats and totally uncorroborated allegations!"

Raj Shah, a White House spokesman, told CNN, "I don't really know what folks who are demanding an open-ended fishing expedition into those areas want other than to delay, delay, delay."

The F.B.I.'s material was conveyed to Capitol Hill in the middle of the night Thursday, just hours after Senate Republicans set the stage for a pair of votes later in the week to approve Judge Kavanaugh's confirmation. A statement issued by the White House around 2:30 a.m. said the F.B.I. had completed its work less than a week after it began and that it represented an unprecedented look at a nominee.

The White House statement gave no further details about the material, but an official briefed on the F.B.I. review said the bureau contacted 10 people and interviewed nine of them. It was not clear why the 10th person was not interviewed. The White House concluded that the interviews did not corroborate sexual misconduct accusations against Judge Kavanaugh, and could help his case, said the person briefed on the findings, who requested anonymity to discuss them.

But it is the judgment of senators that will determine the fate of Judge Kavanaugh, 53, a 12-year veteran of the federal appeals court in Washington. Ms. Collins, Mr. Flake and Ms. Murkowski all condemned on Wednesday remarks by Mr. Trump mocking one of the accusers, Christine Blasey Ford.

Senators were permitted to review physical copies of the interview summaries in a secured room at the Capitol starting Thursday morning, and Republican and Democratic staff planned to brief other lawmakers. After a day of review, the Senate is on track to take an initial vote on Judge Kavanaugh's confirmation on Friday, with a final vote possible as early as Saturday.

Dr. Blasey, 51, a university professor in California, has accused him of sexually assaulting her when they were teenagers at a small party in high school. A second woman, Deborah Ramirez, 53, who works for a county housing department in Boulder, Colo., alleged that he exposed his genitals to her during a party in college.

The F.B.I. initially interviewed four people identified by the Republican leadership of the Senate Judiciary Committee. They included Ms. Ramirez and three people whom Dr. Blasey recalled being in the house at the time of the party: Mark Judge, P.J. Smyth and Leland Keyser. All three have said they did not remember the party or witness misbehavior by Judge Kavanaugh, although Ms. Keyser told The Washington Post that she believes Dr. Blasey.

After complaints by Democrats and undecided Republicans, Mr. Trump authorized the F.B.I. to go beyond those four interviews. But the F.B.I. has not publicly explained why it stopped after talking with just five more people. Ms. Ramirez and Senate Democrats separately gave the bureau the names of dozens of people they thought could help shed light on the allegations, and as recently as Thursday morning, Ms. Ramirez's lawyers wrote to the F.B.I. lamenting a "failure" to fully investigate her claims.

Among those the bureau did not interview were Judge Kavanaugh and Dr. Blasey. The White House said that was not necessary because they testified under oath before the Senate Judiciary Committee for hours last week. But Dr. Blasey's lawyer, Michael R. Bromwich, said late Wednesday that her team was left to conclude that Republicans' promise of a fair process was "merely lip service."

The F.B.I. apparently did not explore allegations by a third accuser, Julie Swetnick, who is represented by Michael Avenatti, a lawyer who also works for Stephanie Clifford, the former pornographic film actress known as Stormy Daniels who was paid hush money before the 2016 presidential election to keep her from discussing what she said was an extramarital affair with Mr. Trump. Senate Democrats have not focused as much on Ms. Swetnick's assertions as on those of Dr. Blasey and Ms. Ramirez.

The official briefed on the review said the bureau focused on the incidents described by Dr. Blasey and Ms. Ramirez but did not go out of its way to pursue broader questions about Judge Kavanaugh's drinking during high school and college. Judge Kavanaugh told the committee last week that while he sometimes drank too much beer, he never blacked out. Former classmates have since come forward to say he misled the committee about the extent of his drinking.

The official said the bureau contacted one person who said he had heard about the incident involving Ms. Ramirez at Yale University at the time, but that person did not witness it or talk with Ms. Ramirez. He identified the person he said had told him about the episode, but that person told the F.B.I. that he did not recall it, the official said.

Senators from both parties said they would like to see the F.B.I.'s work eventually made public in some form, but a previous agreement governing background investigations like the one into Judge Kavanaugh could make that legally difficult.

A four-page memorandum between the Judiciary Committee and the White House precludes disclosure of contents of a background file by the committee and lays out circumstances under which designated staff members or senators who disclose its contents without authorization can be punished.

White House lawyers have concluded that a similar memorandum dealing with Privacy Act restrictions bars them from making the contents public either, or from commenting on them with any specificity.

The president of Interpol vanished after traveling to his native China last month, a French judicial official announced Friday.

The official, who spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing investigation, said the wife of Meng Hongwei contacted authorities after Meng went dark sometime after arriving in China in late September.

He was last seen in Lyon, France, which is the headquarters of the international police organization.

"He did not disappear in France," a source close to the investigation told Sky News.

Before taking over as Interpol's chief in 2016, Meng served as Vice Minister of Public Security in China. Meng, 64, is the first Chinese official to head Interpol.

"Mr. Meng has almost 40 years' experience in criminal justice and policing, having overseen affairs related to legal institutions, narcotics control, counter-terrorism, border control, immigration and international cooperation," his bio says on Interpol's website.

Meng's term is set to run until 2020. Interpol has not yet commented on the reported disappearance.

Kavanaugh's confirmation vote to see if he makes it into SC is today. If the votes aren't a majority today, then the process cannot move on.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Senators are expected to vote on whether to move Brett Kavanaugh's nomination forward at 10:30 a.m. Friday morning, though it's unclear if Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has the votes to push President Trump's Supreme Court nominee through. If the cloture vote does pass, the confirmation vote will likely be held on Saturday.

Interested in Supreme Court?

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

"We don't know how it's going to go until the votes get cast," Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley said Friday morning.

Republicans need a simple majority of 51 to invoke cloture and move forward with the final vote tomorrow.

Where do senators stand?

Senators spent Thursday weaving in and out of a secure room on Capitol Hill, called an SCIF, where the FBI report was available for review. The report included more than 40 pages of interviews, which all 100 senators were able to access in rotating time blocks beginning at 8 a.m. Speaking on the Senate floor, McConnell said there would be "plenty of time" for senators to review the material before Friday's cloture vote.

If Republicans don't have the votes to cut off debate on Friday, it cannot move forward to a final vote.

Standing in Kavanaugh's way are a handful of key swing votes. The group of moderate senators who could ultimately make or break his nomination includes Sens. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., Susan Collins, R-Maine, Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and Joe Manchin, D-W.Va.

Flake and Collins, while saying they are still undecided how to vote, indicated they were satisfied with the FBI's additional investigation, comments the White House would find encouraging.

Their votes will likely hinge on what is in the FBI's report. Kavanaugh's confirmation process has been rocked by multiple sexual misconduct allegations, all of which Kavanaugh has vehemently denied.

What was the FBI directed to investigate?

The FBI was directed to look into "credible" allegations of sexual misconduct made by Christine Blasey Ford and Deborah Ramirez against Kavanaugh.

The White House specifically requested FBI interviews with four people: Kavanaugh's high school friends Mark Judge and P.J. Smyth; Leland Keyser, who Ford claimed was at the party where the alleged assault took place; and Ramirez, whose lawyers provided a list of more than 20 additional witnesses to interview.

Ford claims Judge was in the room when she said Kavanaugh assaulted her.

The FBI also interviewed Christopher "Squi" Garrett, another classmate of Kavanaugh's who appeared on the July 1 calendar entry.

The White House received the FBI report Wednesday night, according to a statement by deputy White House press secretary Raj Shah.

"With Leader McConnell's cloture filing, senators have been given ample time to review this seventh background investigation," Shah said. "This is the last addition to the most comprehensive review of a Supreme Court nominee in history."

The report has not been released to the public. McConnell has insisted that it remain private.

How has Kavanaugh responded?

As lawmakers emerged from the secure room Thursday, some Republicans said they would be outright yes votes for Kavanaugh, while Democrats suggested the White House had tied the FBI's hands by not allowing more witnesses to be interviewed.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., claimed the White House had "straightjacketed this investigation."

On Thursday evening, the embattled judge defended himself in an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal.

Under the headline "I Am an Independent, Impartial Judge," Kavanaugh wrote: "I was very emotional last Thursday, more so than I have ever been. I might have been too emotional at times."

Corey Steplight was accused of murder and age 15 but his grandma advocated for him. 10 years later, he is involved in a shootout that kills his grandma who spoke so highly of him.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Orlando Sentinel 3 hrs ago By Tess Sheets, Orlando Sentinel

When Corey Steplight faced the possibility of life in prison as a teenager, his grandma was still his biggest advocate.

"To me, Corey could be a very sweet child at times," Ruby Steplight told the Orlando Sentinel in 2007 as the teen awaited trial on a first-degree murder charge. She said she was one of few people who would speak highly of him.

Now 25, Corey Steplight was arrested by Orange County deputies Thursday for his role in a shootout Saturday that prompted another man to kill his grandmother in retaliation, the Sheriff's Office said.

He was booked into the Orange County Jail about 7:30 p.m. and is being held without bail on a charge of attempted first-degree murder.

Some details of what led to Ruby Steplight's death remain murky.

In an incident report released Wednesday, a witness told investigators Corey Steplight had been fighting with Billy Desrosiers, 29, in the front yard of Ruby Steplight's home when a gray car pulled up and someone inside fired shots toward Desrosiers.

But in a statement Thursday, the Sheriff's Office said that Corey Steplight had fired at Desrosiers, as well as three other people, before fleeing.

Desrosiers told deputies that, after the fight, he grabbed a gun from his house and fired into Ruby Steplight's house, injuring the woman's 14-year-old granddaughter, according to an arrest affidavit.

He then went inside the family's home and killed the 83-year-old, the affidavit said, opting not to kill the girl because "she was too young to die."

The argument between Corey Steplight and Desrosiers was over money, sheriff's spokesman Jeff Williamson said Thursday. Desrosiers, along with two other people who live with him, were injured by gunfire, Williamson said.

After her death, Ruby Steplight's loved ones described her as the "glue" that held their family together.

She raised her grandson since he was months old, when the state granted her custody as his mother faced drug addiction and run-ins with the law.

"She was a loving mother, she was a loving grandmother. She was just a loving person," said Wanda Jackson, Ruby Steplight's ex-daughter-in-law, Monday.

Corey Steplight's run-ins with the law began as a pre-teen, when, at age 11, he was arrested for the first time on a charge of carrying a concealed weapon, the Orlando Sentinel reported in 2007.

In 2006, when he was 13, Corey Steplight was arrested in the killing of 23-year-old Marcus Mason, who was leaving is grandfather's auto body shop when he was shot to death by a masked gunman who sped off in Mason's car.

Corey Steplight and 15-year-old Bryan Nevarez were arrested after a neighbor on 24th Street saw the boys removing the wheels from the car and called the cops. Both were indicted on charges of first-degree murder, carjacking, resisting arrest and possession of marijuana.

Corey Steplight's attorney argued at trial in 2008, when Steplight was 15, that there was no evidence that proved he was the shooter.

He was acquitted of the murder charge, but found guilty by a jury of grand theft of a motor vehicle, burglary, resisting an officer without violence and possession of marijuana.

A judge opted against convicting him of the grand theft and burglary charges and sentenced the teen to 102 weeks in jail, though credit for time served nearly fulfilled that sentence. He was also given 10 years of probation, according to court records.

Ruby Steplight tried to get her grandson help.

She took him to a court-ordered psychologist a month before the 2006 shooting and said she wanted to set him on a different path. She said she hoped the juvenile justice system "would send him to a program."

Records show Steplight has faced charges in at least seven separate cases in Orange County since he was acquitted of murder in Mason's killing.

A year after that verdict, a jury found Steplight guilty of cocaine possession. He was sentenced to five years in state prison, serving just more than two years before he was released in September 2011.

He was arrested again the following February on eight drug- and firearm-related charges, eventually pleading no contest in June 2012 to delivery or distribution of cannabis, carrying a concealed firearm and possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, records show.

He was sentenced to 230 days in the county jail as part of a plea agreement, records show.

Steplight's next arrest in Orange County came in January 2015. A charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon was later dropped, but he pleaded no contest to domestic-violence battery and was sentenced to a year on probation, court minutes indicate.

His most recent arrest in Orange came in February, records show. A woman he'd been dating told Orlando police Steplight had bitten her face and taken her house keys after she broke up with him, then called her two days later and said that, if she didn't return home, he would "shoot up" her house, according to a warrant affidavit.

He was jailed on a charge of aggravated stalking with a credible threat, but prosecutors opted against filing formal charges, court records show.

A Louisiana man who claimed that a ghost planted drugs on him after he was hit in the head with an ax - despite having no visible wounds - is under arrest.

Michael Auttonberry, 59, reported to sheriff's deputies on Wednesday that there had been a stabbing at his home in West Monroe, according to arrest records from the Ouachita Parish Sheriff's Office.

When deputies arrived, Auttonberry shouted at them, and at people "who were obviously not there," the arrest records said. Officials noticed that the man had not been stabbed in the head with an ax as he'd claimed.

Auttonberry told deputies that intruders were in his home - police determined that this wasn't the case. He allegedly told authorities that the suspected crystal meth deputies claim to have found on his nightstand was planted by a "ghost or intruders" who happened to be climbing out a nearby window - which police also determined to be false.

Auttonberry was charged with possession of a controlled dangerous substance and giving a false police report. He was booked at the Ouachita Correctional Center on a $5,000 bond.

A recent video went viral of a man by the name of Jordan Hunt, a pro-choice activist, kicking a woman at a pro-life rally. He also ripped a ribbon off her shirt. Hunt has been caught by authorities and fired from his job.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A man who was captured on camera Sunday violently kicking a female pro-life activist lost his job at a Toronto hair salon amid social media backlash, while the victim says she will pursue charges against him.

Jordan Hunt has been identified as the culprit behind the attack after a video of him spin-kicking the woman went viral. He deleted his social media accounts after the backlash.

In the video, he is seen approaching a group of pro-life activists and engaging them in a discussion about abortion before suddenly kicking an activist and ripping a Campaign Life ribbon off her jacket and fleeing the scene.

After the kick, Hunt is heard saying "I just kicked your phone," while others shout "Someone call the cops!"

Marie-Claire Bissonnette, the 27-year-old woman involved in the incident, is the youth coordinator with Campaign Life Coalition and has since spoken out about the ordeal.

"He kicked me in the shoulder, my phone went flying," Bissonnette told the Toronto Sun. "I start shouting for someone to call police and before he runs away, he goes up to me and I had a ribbon on my jacket indicating the leader, he tore it off my chest."

She said that the kick left her with minor pain and those who saw the incident "were in shock."

"When he began to pose and you can see in the video that he positions himself for this, I guess it didn't register because it was very sudden," Bissonnette continued. "You would expect someone to start yelling in a loud voice or be very aggressive before they would go and physically assault someone."

Hunt, a Toronto hairstylist, was shortly fired from his job after his identity was revealed.

"It has been brought to our attention that Jordan Hunt has been caught on camera assaulting an innocent bystander at a pro-life rally. We don't condone his actions and he has been let go. We believe that everyone has a right to an opinion and the right to voice their opinion without fear of physical violence," the company posted on Instagram.
