inside the Seoul High Court and was later pronounced dead at a hospital, according to an investigator at Seocho district police station.Authorities said there were no immediate signs of foul play. Local media reported the possibility of a suicide note, but police said none had been confirmed.

Shin last month presided over the appeal trial of Kim, 53, overturning parts of a lower court ruling and increasing her sentence to four years from 20 months after finding her guilty of stock manipulation and bribery.

In his ruling, Shin said Kim had “failed to acknowledge her culpability” and had relied on excuses, justifying the harsher sentence.

Police said the judge’s family had requested privacy following the incident, adding that an investigation into the circumstances of his death was ongoing.

Northern Ireland’s Belfast Telegraph reported on Sunday that the vehicle detonated outside the police station during the night, publishing an image showing a car engulfed in flames near the site.The Police Service of Northern Ireland said in a statement that officers were responding to a security alert in Dunmurry and that an evacuation operation was underway in the area.

Authorities did not immediately confirm the cause of the explosion or whether the incident was being treated as a deliberate attack.Police said emergency procedures were put in place as security personnel secured the surrounding area and residents were advised to avoid the location while investigations continued.

No officers were injured in the blast, the Belfast Telegraph reported, though officials had not yet released information on whether any civilians were harmed or whether arrests had been made.

The incident comes against the backdrop of persistent low-level security threats in Northern Ireland despite the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, which largely ended three decades of sectarian conflict known as the Troubles.

Police officers in the region remain occasional targets of dissident republican groups, most of them small nationalist militant factions opposed to British rule in Northern Ireland and the peace settlement that followed.

Security incidents involving improvised explosive devices and attacks on law enforcement have continued sporadically in recent years, particularly in Belfast, Londonderry and border regions.The police service has not publicly linked Sunday’s explosion to any specific group, and investigations were ongoing.

The Dunmurry alert led to overnight road closures and the deployment of armored police vehicles, according to local reports, as officers conducted searches around the station and nearby streets.

Officials were expected to provide further details later on Sunday as forensic teams examined the scene.

The victims, three boys and five girls aged between three and 11, were killed in what officials described as a domestic incident linked to a marital separation.Elkins’ wife, Shaneiqua Elkins, and her sister were wounded in the attack, while other family members escaped.

Authorities said Elkins died after fleeing the scene, though it remains unclear whether he was shot by police or died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Caddo Parish Sheriff Henry Whitehorn said the killings had shaken the community, prompting calls for stronger measures to address domestic violence. Schools in the area brought in counselors to support students affected by the incident.Family members said the couple had been in the process of separating and were due in court on Monday. Relatives described the children as well cared for and central to their mother’s life.

Authorities said Elkins had a prior felony conviction for illegal use of a weapon in 2019, which legally barred him from possessing firearms for a period after completing his sentence.

Investigators are examining how he obtained the weapon used in the attack.Police said there was no known recent history of domestic violence involving Elkins, though he had briefly checked into a Department of Veterans Affairs hospital earlier this year, according to relatives.

The violence unfolded across two locations, with Elkins first shooting a woman in one neighborhood before targeting the home where the children were killed. One child who died was identified by local officials as his nephew.

The shooting is the deadliest in the United States since January 2024, according to data compiled by The Associated Press in partnership with USA Today and Northeastern University.

Community members gathered for vigils late Sunday, leaving flowers, candles and toys near the scene as local leaders called for renewed efforts to prevent domestic violence and gun-related tragedies.

The attack took place in the province of Kahramanmaras, where Interior Minister Mustafa Ciftci said six of the injured were in critical condition. Authorities ruled out terrorism, describing the incident as a personal act carried out by a student.

“This was solely a personal attack carried out by one of our students, it is not a terror incident,” Ciftci told reporters.

Governor Mukerrem Unluer said the attacker, an eighth-grade pupil, entered two classrooms of younger students armed with five firearms and seven magazines, which authorities believe belonged to his former police officer father.

The suspect later killed himself during the incident, the governor added.The shooting targeted fifth-grade students, typically aged 10 to 11, and caused casualties “indiscriminately,” Unluer said.

The attack follows another school shooting a day earlier in Sanliurfa that left 16 people injured, raising concerns over school safety in a country where such incidents are rare.Officials said the suspect’s father had been detained as part of the investigation.

Turkey has relatively strict gun laws, requiring licenses and setting a minimum age of 21 for legal ownership, though firearms remain accessible, particularly among security personnel permitted to carry weapons.

Authorities said they would consider additional safety measures following the incidents but did not provide further details.

Freeman, 56, was shot dead by police on Monday at a remote property in northern Victoria, bringing to an end an extensive manhunt that began in August last year when he fled into dense bushland following the fatal shooting of two officers at his rural home.

Victoria Police said a man and a woman were detained at separate properties on Saturday morning and would be questioned over potential assistance provided to the fugitive during his time on the run.

“The investigation remains ongoing and as such, we are not in a position to provide further details at this immediate time,” police said in a statement.

Authorities had deployed significant resources in the search for Freeman, who was accused of killing 59-year-old detective Neal Thompson and 35-year-old senior constable Vadim De Waart when officers attended his property.

A third officer was wounded in the lower body during the incident.

Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Mike Bush earlier described the operation as one of the most resource-intensive in Australian policing history, adding investigators believed Freeman may have relied on local support to remain concealed.

“It would be very difficult for him to get to where he was without assistance,” Bush said following Freeman’s death.

The arrests mark the latest development in the investigation into the circumstances that enabled Freeman to evade authorities for months despite a large-scale coordinated search across rural Victoria.
