🚨 EXTENSIVE STORM SURGE DAMAGE – PENSACOLA BEACH, FL! 🌊⚠️ The aftermath of Hurricane Isaias is incredible across Pensacola Beach, Florida! Thick layers of sand cover many roads after powerful storm surge pushed water and debris inland. Damaged homes, missing roofs, partially collapsed structures, half-sunken boats, downed power lines, and scattered debris paint a devastating picture of the hurricane's impacts. Evidence of significant coastal flooding can be seen throughout the area. 🎥 Footage available for media licensing: [email protected] #HurricaneIsaias #StormSurge #PensacolaBeach #HurricaneAftermath #Florida

A massive magnitude 7.7 earthquake struck Panama, shaking buildings more than 100 miles away and prompting evacuations, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Tremors were felt in Panama City, where buildings shook and people evacuated into the streets. cbsn.ws/47K8HXo

The Special Investigations Unit has concluded its independent investigation into the officer-involved shooting that occurred during the execution of a search warrant on June 11 and has cleared our officers. While this decision brings their investigation to a close, it does not diminish the profound loss our Service continues to feel. On that day, we lost Constable Marc Pinizzotto, a dedicated member of our Emergency Task Force, a respected colleague, and a friend. Marc gave his life in service to others, and his sacrifice will never be forgotten. The members of our Emergency Task Force are among the most highly trained and skilled officers in the country, and they routinely face dangerous and dynamic situations with professionalism, courage, and exceptional expertise. In the months since losing their colleague and friend, they have demonstrated tremendous resilience while continuing to serve the people of Toronto with dedication. I want to thank members of the public for your support during this difficult time and for continuing to keep Marc's family, friends, and loved ones in your thoughts. Your ongoing support has meant a great deal to our Service and to all those who knew and loved Marc.

The Faces of the Allison Inquiry — Part 4 Part 4 of our portrait series features several of the expert witnesses who appeared before the Allison Inquiry: Dr. Peter McCullough, Dr. Jessica Rose, Dr. Charles Hoffe, and U.S. Senator Ron Johnson. Captured by photographer Yan Parisien, these portraits offer a glimpse beyond the testimony—preserving the people, the moments, and the atmosphere of four extraordinary days on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. The testimony matters. The people behind it matter too. Photography by Yan Parisien. @realyanparisien @DeanAllisonMP @Shawnbuckleylaw @enqueteallison @SenRonJohnson @P_McCulloughMD @JesslovesMJK

WATCH: An off-duty NYPD officer races into action after spotting an unconscious driver rolling through a busy Brooklyn intersection. Surveillance video shows the SUV run a red light, stop in the middle of the road and repeatedly roll forward as the driver suffers an apparent medical episode. The officer manages to intervene before anyone else is hurt. Councilwoman Susan Zhuang says his quick thinking likely saved the driver, pedestrians and others nearby.
