At least one person has died and nine others have been injured after a shooting in Mobile, in the state of Alabama (United States), on New Year’s Eve, according to the city’s police sheriff, Paul Prine.
Police received an alert call at 11.15 am (local time), after which a device went to the scene and found one person dead, as well as several wounded who were taken to nearby hospitals, as reported by CNN.
So far, the local police have not reported any arrests or the motive for the shooting, which happened in the framework of the New Year’s Eve celebrations. In fact, concerts were scheduled for Saturday night in the city of Mobile.
On the other hand, at least three policemen were injured -they remain stable- in New York City after being attacked at about 10.00 a.m. (local time) on Saturday by a man with a machete near Times Square, according to the network.
The suspect, a 19-year-old man, approached a police officer and attempted to hit him in the head with a machete, after which he struck the other two police officers before one of the officers fired his service weapon.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the NYPD and the Joint Terrorism Task Force are investigating the incident. «I want to be very clear. There is no ongoing threat,» FBI Deputy Director Mike Driscoll told a press conference, suggesting that this was an isolated incident.
