Gunmen opened fire at the 6,200-seat Crocus City Hall in Krasnogorsk near Moscow on Friday evening at a concert for the Russian rock group Piknik.

Sixty people were killed, a spokesperson for Russia’s Investigative Committee said in the early hours of Saturday according to Russian media, and the number may rise. Earlier authorities had said at least 145 were wounded. Ria news agency quoted Moscow governor Andrey Vorobyov as saying 110 adults and five children had been hospitalised, with 60 adults in a serious condition.

Up to five gunmen were believed to be involved in the attack, which was later claimed by Islamic State in a post on Telegram which suggested that the attackers had managed to escape afterwards. Videos released by social media channels close to the security services showed at least two armed men walking into the hall.

The U.S. Department of Education sent hundreds of thousands of inaccurate student financial aid assessments to colleges in recent weeks, it acknowledged Friday – an error it blamed on an outside vendor.

Although the announcement said the problem has been resolved, it likely will further delay financial aid offers to college and high school students.

Critics described the oversight as the latest misstep in the Biden administration’s rollout of the new Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, a college financial aid form used by millions of students every year. A congressional mandate to streamline the form has been beset with glitches and blunders, eroding trust between colleges and the federal officials they rely on to help them dole out financial aid to students.

Kyle Rittenhouse, a 21-year-old gun rights activist who was acquitted after shooting dead two people and injuring another during racial justice protests in 2020, sparked fierce outrage during a speech at the University of Memphis.

On Wednesday, Rittenhouse was met with widespread student protests as he spoke at a campus event organized by the university’s chapter of Turning Point USA, a conservative student organization.

Rittenhouse’s speech topics included the importance of the second amendment and “the lies of Black Lives Matter”, according to event details.

Pictures posted online showed students protesting Rittenhouse’s appearance with signs that said “Murderers don’t belong here!” and “Where’s the tears now, lil boy?” – an apparent reference to Rittenhouse’s emotional sobs during his murder trial in 2021.

A white supremacist prison gang member and his accomplice are in police custody after being on the run in Idaho.

On Thursday, Idaho officials said that Skylar Meade, 31, and Nicholas Umphenour, 28, were arrested in Twin Falls – about 130 miles (209km) from where they escaped.

According to local reports citing police, Meade is a member of the Aryan Knights, a prison gang white supremacy group based primarily in Idaho. Pictures released by the police showed Meade’s tattoos including an A and a K on his stomach.

The pair’s arrest comes after Umphenour, police said, staged an attack on Idaho corrections department officers on Wednesday as they were transporting Meade back to prison from a hospital in Boise. Meade was being treated for for “self-injurious” wounds to his face and body, said corrections department director Josh Tewalt.

A fourth former Mississippi sheriff’s deputy has been sentenced for his part in the racist torture of two Black men by a group of white officers who called themselves “the Goon Squad”. Christian Dedmon was sentenced on Wednesday to 40 years in federal prison, hours after Daniel Opdyke was sentenced to 17.5 years.

Dedmon, 29, did not look at the victims as he apologized and said he would never forgive himself for the pain he caused.

All six of the white former officers charged in the torture pleaded guilty, admitting that they subjected Michael Corey Jenkins and Eddie Terrell Parker to numerous acts of racist torture in January 2023 after a neighbor complained that the men were staying in a home with a white woman.

Federal prosecutors detailed sexual assaults by Dedmon that made him stand out among the other officers charged.

A white supremacist Idaho prison gang member and an accomplice remained on the loose Wednesday after the accomplice staged a brazen overnight attack to free the inmate as he was being transported from a Boise hospital, police said.

Three corrections officers were shot and wounded – two by the accomplice and one by responding police – during the attack in the ambulance bay at Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center.

Police throughout the region were looking for the suspected shooter – still unidentified as of Wednesday afternoon – as well as the escaped inmate, described by officials as white supremacist gang member Skylar Meade. Meade, 31, was sentenced to 20 years in 2017 for shooting at a sheriff’s sergeant during a high-speed chase.
