A livestream shared on Facebook shows two heavily-armed cops taking cover behind a vehicle as they engage in the gun battle on Monday. The video begins with the terrified neighbor seemingly locked outside his house and asking someone to let him in.

As of Tuesday morning, 18 people had been taken into custody over the Boca Bash weekend, during which thousands of revelers took to the sea for a wild party where liquor flowed freely, and clothes were stripped off.

A group of anti-Israel protesters at Columbia University have seized the historic Hamilton Hall - with their actions being compared to the January 6 insurrection. Protestors stormed and occupied the building on the main campus of the Manhattan university after smashing their way into the school.

In West Virginia , one county's health department has warned that the state is currently seeing hundreds of cases of the condition, compared to a handful a few years ago.

Footage shows Saltanat Nukenova (left), 31, being brutally beaten by her husband, Kuandyk Bischimbayev (inset), 43, Kazakhstan's former economy minister, in a restaurant belonging to one of his relatives. It was shared during his televised murder trial before the country's Supreme Court , which has shocked the nation, with tens of thousands signing petitions for harsher penalties for domestic violence. Bishimbayev, 43, had claimed in court that his wife had died from 'self-inflicted' injuries on November 9 last year. But the CCTV footage directly contradicts his claim, as it shows the politician punching and kicking his defenseless wife over a period of more than two hours. Bishimbayev finally admitted in court last Wednesday that he had beaten her and 'unintentionally' caused her death.
