Shooting at RI rink, seabird rescue, Iran tensions, dark web clue

Two people were killed and several others injured in a "targeted" shooting at an ice skating rink in Rhode Island on Monday, according to ABC News. The incident occurred around 2:30 p.m. at the Dennis M. Lynch Arena in Pawtucket, about five miles outside of Providence, as reported by Pawtucket Police Chief Tina Goncalves. The suspect was found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.

In other news, an injured seabird sought help by pecking at the emergency room door of a hospital in Germany, as reported by The Associated Press. The cormorant, with a triple fishing hook stuck in its beak, was noticed by medical staff at the Klinikum Links der Weser hospital in Bremen on Sunday. Firefighters and medical staff worked together to remove the hook and treat the bird's wound before releasing it back into the wild.

Meanwhile, the US military presence near Iran is being closely monitored. BBC Verify confirmed the location of the USS Abraham Lincoln, an aircraft carrier, near Iran using satellite imagery. The US is increasing pressure on Iran due to its military program and the recent crackdown on protesters. US and Iranian officials are scheduled to meet in Switzerland on Tuesday for a second round of talks, with Iran stating the focus will be on its nuclear program and the potential lifting of economic sanctions. The Abraham Lincoln carries 90 aircraft, including F35 fighters, and leads a strike group with three guided missile destroyers.

In a separate development, a dark web agent used a clue found on a bedroom wall to rescue a girl from abuse, according to BBC Eye Investigations. Specialist online investigator Greg Squire was struggling to find the location of a 12-year-old girl named Lucy, whose disturbing images were being shared on the dark web. The abuser was careful to hide any identifying features, but Squire discovered a crucial clue on a wall that led to the girl's rescue.

Finally, a group of 34 Australian women and children with ties to the Islamic State (IS) group, who had been held in a camp in northern Syria for nearly seven years, were released on Monday to head home, but were then returned to the camp for "technical reasons," according to Reuters, as reported by BBC World. The Australian government had previously refused to repatriate them. It is unclear why their release was halted, but Australian media has reported it may have been due to a failure to meet certain requirements.
