Federal charges brought against Philadelphia man accused of shooting SWAT officer

PHILADELPHIA - A Philadelphia man is facing federal charges for allegedly shooting a SWAT officer who was executing an arrest warrant at a Fairhill apartment building last February. United States Attorney Jennifer Arbittier Williams on Wednesday said 35-year-old Kristian Reyes was wanted by authorities for state probation and parole violations. Members of the Philadelphia Police Department's SWAT team went to arrest Reyes at a property on the 100 block of West Lehigh Avenue on Feb. 11, but they did not receive a response after announcing their presence, according to investigators. Officers breached the door and headed up a narrow stairwell to a third-floor apartment and knocked where they again announced their presence but received no response. A Philadelphia police SWAT officer was treated and released at a local hospital after police say he was shot in his bulletproof vest in North Philadelphia while serving a warrant.While waiting for equipment to gain access to the apartment, investigators say the leader of the SWAT team heard multiple popping sounds and realized he was shot in the vest. The officer was rushed to the hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Joe Biden on Wednesday highlighted new figures showing the government's red ink will grow less than expected this year and the national debt will shrink this quarter as he tried to counter criticism of his economic leadership amid growing dismay over inflation going into midterm elections that will decide control of Congress.Biden, embracing deficit reduction as a way to fight inflation, stressed that the dip in the national debt would be the first in six years, an achievement that eluded former President Donald Trump despite his promises to improve the federal balance sheet."The bottom line is the deficit went up every year under my predecessor before the pandemic and during the pandemic. It has gone down both years since I’ve been here," Biden said.

'Not good' BBC's Simon Reeve gives health update on his 'exotic illness' to worried fans

kavwire joked: "I thought you were pregnant at first …great news.”sierra_eco_bravo_alfa encouraged: “Keep on walking mate!”It is believed that the adventurer and documentary filmmaker picked up the exotic illness during one of his work trips, but he has not yet specified what the illness is.Last year, Simon revealed how he had managed to defy the odds after fertility doctors told him and his wife Anya that they had little to no chance of ever having children.The TV presenter and adventurer knew that he had always wanted to be a father, and thought of the role as his life's purpose.When he met and first started dating his wife, they were both in their early thirties, and Simon knew that if they were going to have children, it needed to be soon.However, once they started trying, he soon realised that conceiving a child was going to be a much harder task than he initially expected.After months of trying to conceive a baby naturally, Simon and Anya knew that something wasn’t quite right.Simon was left horrified when an expert told him that he was "basically infertile".Recalling the moment his world crumbled before him, Simon told his wife that if he couldn’t have children, he was "likely to go mad".“I would not be able to have children. It was the starkest of messages: I could hardly take it in,” Simon wrote.“She told me I had loads of sperm but their morphology was terrible.
