Kansas sheriff's deputy shot and killed responding to domestic violence call
A 34-year-old Kansas sheriff's deputy was killed on Saturday when he was shot while responding to a domestic violence call, authorities said. Wyandotte County Sheriff's Deputy Elijah Ming was gunned down as he approached a home in Kansas City, Kansas, after a woman, concerned for her own safety, requested a deputy to accompany her as she moved out of the residence, officials said. Prior to the shooting, the woman informed police that a man with a gun inside the house had earlier threatened her and her friends when she first attempted to move out, according to officials. 'Deputy Ming gave his life serving Wyandotte County and all of its residents,' Wyandotte County Sheriff Daniel Soptic said at a news conference on Saturday, also noting that Ming was a 9-year veteran of the Wyandotte County Sheriff's Office. The shooting occurred at around 3:45 p.m. on Saturday in southwest Kansas City, according to Chief Karl Oakman of the Kansas City Police Department. Deputy Ming and an officer from the Kansas City Police Department went to the home to assist the woman move when a man inside opened fire on them without warning, striking Ming, Oakman said. The Kansas City Police officer was not injured, he said. Other officers raced to the house upon hearing of the shooting, according to Oakman. "As the Kansas City, Kansas, Police Department was responding, the individual continued to fire on the responding officers, who then returned fire," Oakman said.

Harris was taken to a hospital to be treated, Oakman said, and was listed in good condition as of Saturday night.

Massie Criticizes Johnson on Recess as He Tries to Force Epstein Files Vote
Representative Thomas Massie, Republican of Kentucky, lashed out at Speaker Mike Johnson on Sunday for sending the House home early for its six-week summer recess to avoid having to hold votes on releasing files related to Jeffrey Epstein, who was accused of sex trafficking. 'I don't know why it should be politically painful to be transparent,' Mr. Massie said on 'Meet The Press' on Sunday. At a news conference this week, Mr. Johnson accused Mr. Massie of inflicting political pain on his own party by teaming with Democrats to try to circumvent leadership and force a floor vote on releasing the files. Mr. Johnson, for his part, has deferred to President Trump and the Justice Department on the matter, while continuing to say that he is calling for transparency. But sending members home to their districts did not succeed in quieting Mr. Massie, who predicted on Sunday that the pressure to hold a vote would only increase during the summer break. 'Is the pain he's talking about that they'll, somebody in our party, will be embarrassed by those files? Then that's not a good excuse,' Mr. Massie said of the speaker. 'Is the pain he's talking about is that the legislators, when they vote, have to pick between protecting embarrassment of the rich and powerful versus getting justice for victims? I don't really understand what he means by that.' He added: 'Why is it painful for Mike Johnson to call a vote on this? The American people deserve this, regardless of what the political ramifications are for the speaker.' Mr. Massie, the lone House Republican who routinely breaks with the Trump administration despite the president's threats to find a primary challenger to unseat him, predicted that he would not be the one to suffer politically for pressing the issue. Instead, he said, Republicans would lose their slim majority in the midterm elections next year if they did not take a vote on releasing the files. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
