Thousand Oaks shooting victim confirmed as survivor of America's worst ever mass shooting a year ago

Image
A man who survived America's worst ever mass shooting in Las Vegas last year was killed in another gun massacre at a bar in California this week. Telemachus Orfanos, 27, a US Navy veteran, was among 12 people shot dead at the Borderline Bar and Grill in Thousands Oaks, just outside Los Angeles, on Wednesday night. The shooting happened 13 months after 58 people died when a gunman opened fire at a country music festival in Las Vegas. Susan Orfanos, the victim's mother, said: "My son was in Las Vegas with a lot of his friends and he came home. He didn't come home last night. "I don't want prayers. I don't want thoughts. I want gun control, and I hope to God nobody else sends me any more prayers. I want gun control. No more guns." Marc Orfanos, the victim's father, said: "It is particularly ironic that after surviving the worst mass shooting in modern history, my son went on to be killed in his home town." #UPDATE: Telemachus Orfanos has be...

California shooting follows election of gun control advocate as governor

Ian David Long, 28, used a .45 caliber Glock handgun equipped with a high-capacity magazine to mow down patrons late on Wednesday in the bar and dance hall filled with college students, authorities said. The shooting raised questions about the efficacy of existing gun safety laws as Gavin Newsom, a two-term lieutenant governor closely aligned with gun control advocates, prepares to take the helm in the most populous U.S. state following his election victory on Tuesday. "He’s been such a champion on this issue so we expect to see more innovation from the legislators and approved by Gavin Newsom," said Laura Cutilletta, legal director of the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2RMnxUh via Latest News

100 years on we shall remember them: Britain commemorates its WWI dead

Image
They may no longer be with us - the last of their number, Harry Patch, died in 2009, aged 111 - but we will remember them. Around the country thousands of people will pay tribute on Sunday to those who died on foreign soil or at sea for their country, and those at home who endured the anguish and hardship of global war. On the 100th anniversary of the Armistice events will take place in every corner of the British Isles to commemorate the sacrifice of a generation during the First World War, which only came to an end at 11am on November 11, 1918, after an almost incalculable loss of life. The numbers still have the power to shock. Between 1914 and 1918, 886,345 UK troops were killed. Another 228,569 troops from the wider British Empire were killed, more than 74,000 of them from India. Each one was a son, father, husband or brother who willingly or not, whether with courage or almost paralysed by fear, died in a conflict whose causes and conclusion were beyond their control.

Veteran's Day 2018 sales: Save on things like Instant Pots, mattresses, and TVs at Macy's, Best Buy, Target, and more

Oh, look: Another holiday, another excuse for a ton of online retailers to have a sale. This time we're talking about Veteran's Day. Thank the people you know who have served, tell them all of the places they can get free stuff on Monday, and get to saving. If you'll be clearing house to make room for new items, this is also a great time to donate old clothing and household goods to veteran charities. Some charities will even offer to come pick your stuff up for you. The official holiday is on Sunday, Nov. 11, but many employers observe Monday, Nov. 12 as the day off. If you do have to go into the office, you can at least take the edge off the day by online shopping while you should be working. (JK.)

Trump, Macron agree on defense after 'insulting' European army spat

Meeting for talks at the Elysee a day before commemorations to mark the 100th anniversary of the end of World War One, Macron welcomed Trump under rainy Parisian skies with a firm handshake. Seated on gilded chairs in the ornate presidential palace, Macron placed his hand on Trump's knee and referred to him as "my friend", while Trump kept more distance, although he also talked up common ground on an issue that had caused friction. "We want a strong Europe, it's very important to us, and whichever way we can do it the best and more efficient would be something we both want," said Trump. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2DdmVmI via Latest News
