Hawaiians cram roads away from coasts as tsunami waves arrive
LOS ANGELES — Many Hawaiians have heeded official advice to leave coastal areas, after a powerful earthquake thousands of miles away near Russia caused tsunami waves to reach the US state and other parts of the Pacific.Waves several feet high were recorded on the islands of Maui, Oahu and Hawaii on Tuesday evening, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said, urging people to take "urgent action" to protect lives and property.The centre later downgraded its tsunami warning for Hawaii to a tsunami advisory, though cautioned that flooding was still possible.Governor Josh Green struck a hopeful tone, saying he had yet to see a "wave of consequence" in the state.He had earlier advised people in low-lying areas to move to higher ground, and noted that that roads were getting...

Police officer among four dead in shooting at New York City office building
NEW YORK — A New York City police officer is among four people killed in a shooting inside a Midtown Manhattan high-rise.Police said the gunman walked into the office building on Monday evening with an MR rifle in clear view before spraying bullets in the lobby and on an upper floor. He then took his own life.The shooting, in the center of the most populous US city, sent pedestrians running for cover as police warned of an active gunman around 1830 ET. Those inside the building cowered as gunfire echoed - some even piling couches and chairs against doors as they hid in offices.Police say the suspect, Shane Devon Tamura, 27, travelled from Las Vegas but a motive is unclear.Among those killed was New York City officer Didarul Islam, who was working security at the building at the time of...

Singer Beyonce speaks during a campaign rally of Democratic presidential nominee U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris, in Houston, Texas, on October 25, 2024.
Trump calls to prosecute Beyoncé based on a nonexistent $11 million payment
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump over the weekend called for the prosecution of music superstar Beyoncé – based on something that did not actually happen.Trump claimed in a social media post that Beyoncé broke the law by supposedly getting paid $11 million for her endorsement of Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris during an October 2024 event in Houston. But there is simply no basis for Trump’s claim that Beyoncé received an $11 million payment related to the Harris campaign, let alone for the endorsement in particular.Federal campaign spending records show a $165,000 payment from the Harris campaign to Beyoncé’s production company, which the campaign listed as a “campaign event production” expense. A Harris campaign spokesperson told Deadline last year...
