Vermont Shooting: Police Seize Suspect's Shotgun Following Ex-Girlfriend's Plea

Police records reveal that the man accused of shooting three Palestinian college students in Vermont had a shotgun confiscated by police in upstate New York a decade ago, following a plea from his ex-girlfriend due to domestic disputes and concerns about his mental illness. The ex-girlfriend reported a history of domestic violence with the suspect, Jason Eaton. Although no criminal charges were filed, the shotgun was removed from the home and stored as evidence. It remains unclear if Eaton later reclaimed the gun. Eaton's past involvement with law enforcement includes 37 police reports, mostly for minor incidents. The motive for the shooting is still under investigation, and civil rights groups are calling for additional hate crime charges.

Unveiling Delhi's 19th-century criminal past through police archives

Delhi Police has uploaded "antique FIRs" from the 1800s on their website, revealing the earliest crimes reported in the city. The records provide insights into the lives of people during a period of British rule and upheaval. Most of the complaints involve petty thefts, such as stolen oranges and bedsheets. The crimes, although relatively benign, offer a glimpse into the unique policing system of that time. The records were discovered in the Delhi Police Museum and were translated from the Urdu shikastah script by a team led by Assistant Commissioner Rajendra Singh Kalkal.
