An accused street gang member standing trial in federal court in Salt Lake City was shot to death by a deputy U.S. marshal on Monday as the defendant attacked a witness who was testifying against him, federal law-enforcement officials said. Siale Angilau, 25, lunged at the witness wielding what appeared to be a pen or pencil in his hand, prompting a federal officer in the courtroom to open fire to halt the attack, according to Melodie Rydalch, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

GEORGE TILLER knew the danger of providing late-term abortions. His home was picketed, his office was blown up and in 1993 he was shot in both arms by an anti-abortion zealot. He never considered stopping his work, because he knew there were women who needed his help. His murder is a tragedy for his family, his patients and his profession. It should serve as a wake-up call that more must be done to ensure that women have access to this legal procedure. Mr. Tiller was shot to death Sunday as he handed out bulletins in his Kansas church and as...

From the Interdictor / DirecNIC blog: Sometime around midnight, a squad of 82nd Airborne guys accompanied by a US Marshall busted into our Data Center with their M4-A1s to investigate the lights and movement. Personally, I know they were just bored -- there's no way they honestly thought there was some kind of threat up here just yards away from several huge military and police presences. Anyway, they came up and demanded to account for us all. That means they told Donny, who was still up, to come wake up Crys and me in the side closet room type area...

A Montgomery County jury yesterday heard a tape recording of the 911 call a 20-year-old sailor placed after a deputy U.S. marshal shot him in the foot in a parking lot in Rockville last fall. Several minutes later, Seaman Ryan T. Stowers, of Redding, Calif., was dead. "Yeah, someone just shot me in the left foot," Seaman Stowers shouted to the 911 dispatchers. "I can't believe he just ... he just ... shot me." Seaman Stowers is referring to Arthur L. Lloyd, who is on trial for fatally shooting the sailor after the two men fought outside Mid-Pike Plaza on...

ROCKVILLE, Md. (AP) -- A deputy U.S. Marshal was arrested Tuesday on murder charges in connection with a fatal shooting last week, Montgomery County, Md., police said. Arthur Lloyd, 53, was held without bond on charges of first-degree murder, use of a handgun in the commission of a crime of violence and reckless endangerment.

The charges stem from an incident last Thursday night, when Lloyd was off-duty and driving with his family in his SUV in Rockville, Md., a suburb of Washington, D.C....

There is the picture of James J. ``Whitey'' Bulger with a fake mustache penciled above his top lip like Groucho Marx. There is another of Whitey wearing Mr. Peepers glasses, and one more of our favorite fugitive psychopath with a full head of virtual hair. Yesterday, we were told these three tired mug shots, along with other Whitey tidbits, would be spread out across the vastness of cyberspace, all to pump a wee bit o' life into the moribund, 8-year search for The White Man. A week ago, Billy Bulger invoked his Fifth Amendment ``privilege,'' essentially telling Congress and everyone...
