At least 30 people were injured early on Saturday morning when a vehicle drove into a crowd outside a club on Santa Monica Boulevard in Los Angeles, the city’s fire department and local media reports said. At least seven people were in critical condition and six others were seriously injured, the fire department said in an online statement. The incident occurred just before 2am local time (2pm PKT), the fire department said. Captain Adam VanGerpen, a fire department spokesman, was quoted by ABC News as saying that a paramedic assessing one of the injured found a gunshot wound. The car, he said, apparently first careened into a taco truck outside the venue and then ploughed through a valet stand and into a large group of people.

The Los Angeles Police Department said on X that it was still investigating why the driver slammed into the crowd. Officers responding to a radio call of an assault with a deadly weapon found ...

An Islamabad district and sessions court on Saturday issued an arrest warrant for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, demanding that he be detained and produced before the court by Monday. Last month, Gandapur appeared before the district and sessions court in a hearing related to the illegal arms and liquor case registered at Bhara Kahu police station.

The CM informed the court that he would file the response after the presentation of the KP budget. Following this assurance and his appearance, the court suspended the arrest warrants and adjourned the case until Ju...
