Phoenix police originally said that five officers had been shot in the violent confrontation and later added that four more had been indirectly injured. All are being treated at a hospital. The shooting is the latest incident in a recent wave of gun violence that has targeted both police and civilians nationwide and also generated a political crisis for President Joe Biden. On Thursday, two police deputies were shot while responding to a neighborhood dispute in Washington state....

Smith (26-0, 19 KOs) dropped N’Dam three times — once in each round — before the referee ended the fight, cementing “Mundo’s” dominant showing in his first bout since defeating George Groves in the World Boxing Super Series last September. Now, he’s ready for a greater challenge and perhaps a showdown with the face of boxing himself, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez. Join DAZN and watch GGG vs. Rolls on June 8...

While the deal doesn’t begin until the 2017-18 season, we can reasonably guess a few things that will happen pretty quickly when adidas exits and Nike enters. How can we do that? Just look back at the deal the NFL started with Nike in 2012. MORE: Must-see NBA Finals photos | LeBron James gives Spelling Bee champ a Nike surprise 1.

I unseated the incumbent Democrat and won the office in the 2020 election on a promise to “Make the Recorder’s Office Boring Again.” For that reason, I declined every media opportunity until May 14. I had hoped to quietly, competently, lawfully and fairly do my job. Since May 14, however, I’ve spoken out loudly and critically against the Maricopa County “election audit” commissioned by state senate president Karen Fann and managed by the Cyber Ninjas....

Several coaches hope to be able to answer that question with their signees this year. Over the last several years, the conference has seen some wide-eyed, uber-talented running backs make instant splashes. Over the last 10 years, six true freshmen running backs have rushed for 1,000 yards: Darren McFadden, Arkansas 1,113 yards (2005) Marcus Lattimore, South Carolina, 1,197 yards (2010) Michael Dyer, Auburn 1,093 yards (2010) Todd Gurley, Georgia, 1,385 yards (2012) TJ Yeldon, Alabama, 1,108 yards (2012) Alex Collins, Arkansas, 1,026 yards (2013) The most recent back to eclipse the mark was Arkansas freshman Alex Collins, who hit the mark with virtually no passing game helping offset the running game....

Say what you want about how it has unfolded at Florida State — the university has made an absolute mess of (take your pick) investigating, enabling and disciplining quarterback Jameis Winston — the bottom line on the field is nothing fazes this team. Not a botched and bungled investigation of Winston. Not the big, bad SEC in the biggest game of all. Not the hangover of winning it all or bored way they’ve played over the first month of the season....

MERCE: Flamenco is eternal; it has almost two centuries of history. The only thing I do with this new work, “Aire,” is to make flamenco for the 21st century. I sing about the things that happen every day. I have great respect for the basics, for the roots of flamenco, but you can’t keep singing lyrics that are 60 years old. You have not lived them, and you can’t feel them....

Brodie is in the final year of a two-year deal signed in 2013 which paid him an average annual salary of $2.1 million. The 24-year-old has three goals and four assists in seven games this season for the Flames. Calgary drafted Brodie in the fourth round in 2008. The defenseman has 11 goals and 55 assists in 192 games.

And while that debut has come and gone, and Jagr has been in the Flames lineup the five games since, the streak might be in jeopardy. Jagr left the Flames game on Saturday against the Minnesota Wild with a lower-body injury. In what looked like a routine shift, Jagr skated off and then went down the tunnel to the locker room. The Flames later tweeted Jagr is under evaluation for a lower-body injury, and the future Hall of Fame forward will not return to the game against Minnesota....

And that’s some achievement. Whatever its appearance, the FanWing is something of a rare event in the aeronautics world: a wholly new technology of flight. The ungainly creature that Peebles, 57, has worked on for much of the past decade combines many of the best features of helicopters and traditional fixed-wing airplanes. It uses far less fuel than a helicopter or a conventional airplane and needs little or no space for takeoff and landing....

The whole juxtaposition of casinos and modern masterpieces once owned by the tsar and Stalin–all brought together in an ersatz Venice–is emblematic of the transformation art museums have undergone in the last generation. Almost all of them have become obsessed with big box-office exhibitions, revenue streams rushing in from their own gift shops and restaurants and “statement buildings” by international star architects. Right now, there are about 60 major museum expansion projects underway in America alone, with price tags totaling $5....

The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO) announced in a Facebook post on Wednesday that its officers had raided a residence in Palm Coast. The owner of the home, Brian Pirraglia, and a tenant, Michael Connelly, were both arrested on various drug paraphernalia charges. Both men have criminal histories, FCSO said. During a search of the kitchen, officers found a large plastic bag that contained 510 grams of fentanyl, and a plastic jar labeled “protein” that contained 406 grams of fentanyl....

To recap, Florida cornerback Quincy Wilson had a strange analogy earlier this week when talking about Florida’s 11-season win streak against Tennessee ahead of the teams’ game this weekend. “Nobody has ever seen a duck pull a truck. Florida Gators are going to win, simple as that,” Wilson told reporters Tuesday, with the implication being that Tennessee is the duck and Florida is the truck.

The boy spoke at a meeting of the Martin County School District which resides near the state’s southeastern coast, about 45 miles north of Palm Beach. Video of his speech has already gained over 500,000 views on Twitter as of May 18. “It seems unfair teachers take their masks off while they yell at us kids, and that we need to pull ours up. I asked my mom if there’s a word for this and she said there is: hypocrisy,” the boy said....

The Python Challenge, which began on August 5 and will run until August 14, is a Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission-sanctioned competition based in the Everglades, where participants attempt to capture and kill as many Burmese pythons as they can. Burmese pythons are invasive in the Everglades, and have severely impacted the populations of other native animals in the region by outcompeting them for food. Previous attempts at controlling the invasion have been ineffective, mostly due to the fact that the pythons are well camouflaged and exceptionally difficult to find....

Aaron Smith-Levin, who left the world of Scientology after 29 years, is running to serve on the council in Clearwater—which has been home to the church’s international spiritual headquarters for decades. The election will be held Tuesday, March 15. Smith-Levin has said he’s running to fix the worldwide perception that the Church of Scientology “runs” Clearwater. Leah Remini, one of the most famous defectors of the church, has endorsed Smith-Levin and on Monday encouraged residents to vote for him....

A city official told Newsweek on Monday that over the past three weeks, St. Petersburg has spent approximately $700,000 and employed more than 150 people daily to help remove the massive amounts of decayed marine life. “We continue to work seven days per week cleaning up dead fish from our coastal waters. In addition to 150+ city workers using nets along the shoreline, we have inshore boats in the bayous and canals....

DeSantis, a Republican, said that the order would “limit movements and personal interactions outside the home,” according to Orlando’s ABC affiliate WFTV 9. The governor explained that only essential services will be allowed to continue, similar to orders put in place by other states across the country. The specific details of DeSantis’ order have not yet been announced. Florida, which has more than 6,700 confirmed cases of coronavirus, was the only state as of Wednesday morning with more than 5,000 confirmed cases to not have already issued a “stay at home” or “shelter in place” order....
