One suspect found dead, one on the run after stabbing rampage in Canada that left 10 people dead
Canadian police said Monday one of the two brothers suspected in a series of stabbings has been found dead from injuries that were not self-inflicted. The other brother remained at large and might be wounded, they said. Regina Police Chief Evan Bray identified the deceased suspect as Damien Sanderson, 31, and said Myles Sanderson, 30, is believed to be in Regina, Saskatchewan. A manhunt across three provinces had been underway after the brothers were named suspects in a stabbing rampage that left 10 people dead and 18 wounded – one of the bloodiest mass killings in Canadian history. The attacks early Sunday took place in at least 13 locations in and around the James Smith Cree Nation in Saskatchewan, a sprawling province nearly the size of Texas. Authorities revealed no motive for the attacks, but said some of the victims had likely been targeted by the suspects, while others had been attacked at random.
Judge grants Trump’s request for special master review of Mar-a-Lago documents
A federal judge in Florida approved Donald Trump’s request Monday for a special master to review documents seized during a search of his Mar-a-Lago estate, which included “secret” and “top secret” records, and temporarily halted the Justice Department’s criminal investigation of the records. U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon authorized the appointment to review the documents for potential claims of attorney-client privilege or executive privilege, or to prevent government lawyers from reading those documents. Cannon ruled the Director of National Intelligence could continue to review the documents to determine risks to national security and asked lawyers for Trump and the Justice Department to jointly submit a list of names of potential special masters by Sept. 9. The Justice Department said it was reviewing the decision.

‘Truly dangerous’ heat wave breaks California temperature records; 2 dead in Mill Fire
California cities reported record temperatures this weekend amid a punishing and dangerous heat wave. The heat has already sparked damaging wildfires and stressed the state’s power grid. Forecasters warn the sweltering temperatures also posed health risks as people celebrate the holiday weekend. Forecasters had warned most of California and Nevada and parts of Arizona, Utah, Oregon and Idaho to brace for high temperatures.
Meanwhile, two dangerous wildfires are burning through the same California county, creating new challenges for firefighters.
- The Mill Fire: A wind-driven wildfire that started Friday about 250 miles north of San Francisco. It has destroyed 100 homes in the small town of Weed, blazing through more than 4,200 acres and standing at 40% contained as of Monday morning, according to Cal Fire. Siskiyou County officials said Sunday afternoon that two people have died as a result of the fire.
- The Mountain Fire: A nearby wildfire close to the small community of Gazelle that grew Monday morning to more than 10,000 acres. It was 10% contained, according to Cal Fire.

NASA again scrubs Artemis I moon rocket launch over technical issues
Saturday brought another launch scratch for the Artemis I mission. Technical issues caused delays on Saturday and eventually robbed spectators in Cape Canaveral, Florida – and around the country – of something Americans haven’t seen in more than 50 years: a launch to kick off a NASA program to send humans to the moon. A similar situation unfolded during NASA’s first launch attempt of the crewless Orion capsule on Aug. 29. NASA officials said the 322-foot rocket will return to the Vehicle Assembly Building for repairs and recertifications, likely delaying the flight to sometime in October.
