Protests in Milwaukee following the police shooting of an armed African American man intensified as demonstrators reportedly fired shots and hurled objects, injuring at least two people early Monday, according to police.

One victim was shot during the Monday unrest and rushed to a hospital in an armored vehicle. A police officer was injured and also taken to the hospital after a rock broke the windshield of a squad car, according to Milwaukee Police. A car was also set aflame during Monday’s fracas.

The death of Sylville Smith, 23, triggered unrest hours after his killing on Saturday as protesters torched six businesses, including a gas station, burned cars and threw rocks at officers.

Passengers at immigration control were told to get down while police looked for an active shooter.

JFK Airport: All-Clear Given After Report Of Shots Fired:

Police have given the all-clear at JFK Airport after there were reports of shots fired inside Terminal 8 Sunday night, a New York law enforcement official tells CNN.

Two people had told police they heard what they thought were shots fired, law enforcement sources said. Police went floor-to-floor to clear the airport and ensure there was nothing to be found, a source said. Surveillance video from inside the terminal did not show any shooting.

Port Authority police evacuated the terminal to be cautious, spokesman Joe Pentangelo said. There were no injuries or arrests.

For Those Displaced In Historic Louisiana Floods, An Uncertain Future:

Tom Kelly of Prairieville, Louisiana, has one wish for Monday: To wake up in his own bed and put his feet on dry ground.

As he sat on his neighbor’s porch Sunday afternoon, watching floodwater from Bayou Manchac creep above his patio, he knew it was unlikely.

“It’s epic,” Kelly said of historic flooding that swept across southeastern Louisiana over the weekend. “It’s as high as I’ve ever seen it.”

Shoes, children’s toys and household items floated through knee-deep water outside his home.

With their homes largely intact they know they’re the lucky ones.

The Face Of The Olympics Will Never Look The Same:

Simone: That’s a name many Olympic viewers will never forget.

Simone Manuel, a 20-year-old black female swimmer, and Simone Biles, a 19-year-old black female gymnast, dominated in two sports in which most US competitors are white.

They have been making history — and here’s how.

Swimming, gymnastics and race

As recreational swimming became increasingly popular across the United States in the 1920s, public pools and beaches were racially segregated. For the next few decades, swimming role models were white, such as swimmer and actress Esther Williams, who was often featured in synchronized swimming scenes in elaborate Hollywood films.
