An Alaska cop died Friday due to complications from surgery, two weeks after he was shot while on duty — a shooting he predicted while reading bedtime stories to his children.

Sgt. Allen Brandt of the Fairbanks Police Department underwent remedial eye surgery after being shot on Oct. 16.

“Fairbanks lost a hero today,” Deputy Police Chief Brad Johnson said at a news conference, holding back tears.

“Sgt. Allen Brandt lost the fight. He had surgery yesterday and suffered complications afterward, which continued to deteriorate though the day and from which he was unable to recover,” Johnson said.(nydailynews.com)…[+]

An Indiana teen who served six years in prison for helping to kill his friend’s stepfather when he was 12 was resentenced Friday, and could return home to his mother as early as February. Whitley County Judge James Heuer resentenced Paul Gingerich, now 18, on Friday to serve 300 days in a medium-security correctional facility and to participate in community programs that could shave 120 days from his sentence if he shows good conduct, his attorney, Monica Foster, said. With good behavior, he could be released after 90 days. Gingerich would remain under electronic surveillance until 2020 with 10 years of probation afterward, The Indianapolis Star reported.(nydailynews.com)…[+]

Donald Trump has made a last-minute $10 million cash infusion into his campaign, Trump advisors tell the Wall Street Journal, a donation coming shortly after new election documents showed he hadn’t given a dime in October.

That was a big departure from the average of $2 million a month he was spending personally in his first months as the GOP nominee, when it looked more likely that he could knock off Hillary Clinton. Recent polls show the race slightly closer than it was a week ago, but almost all reputable polls have Clinton with a comfortable national lead and an edge in key swing states.(nydailynews.com)…[+]
