According to the Phoenix Police Department, an 8-year-old boy died after a statue fell on him outside the opulent Arizona Biltmore hotel. Five days after the youngster was hospitalized after being hit in the head by the statue, his death was declared on Monday. His identity was kept a secret.

One of the 19 "solemn sprites" statues on the property, which are claimed to represent legendary characters that symbolize the natural environment, was the statue t...

Attorneys forCiting President Joe Biden's words when he declared he had pardoned his son, Donald Trump urged the judge who oversaw his conviction for falsifying company records to drop the charge against the president-elect. "Yesterday, in issuing a10-year pardon to Hunter Bidenthat covers any and all crimes whether charged or uncharged, President Biden asserted that his son was 'selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted,' and 'treated differently,'" the document, which was released on Tuesday, said.

The petition went on to say that these remarks amounted to an unusual condemnation of President Biden's own DOJ and that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has partici...

U.S. officials advise Americans to utilize encrypted messaging applications in the wake of an unprecedented cyberattack on telecom giants like AT&T and Verizon to protect their communications from foreign hackers. The hacking attack, which Microsoft dubbed Salt Typhoon, is still ongoing and is among the biggest intelligence breaches in American history.

Quarterback for the Cleveland BrownsSince taking over the starting position on October 27, Jameis Winston has been a highlight machine, both positively and negatively. Winston hasn't always been successful, but he has always been entertaining, as seen by his impassioned pregame speeches, high interception totals, and leading numerous touchdown drives in the middle of a snowstorm during a game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. When Winston threw for 497 yards and four touchdowns in a 41-32 loss to the Denver Broncos on Monday night, that was never more accurate. If Winston hadn't also thrown three interceptions, including two pick-sixes, his stat line would have been fantastic. The Browns had two backbreaking interceptions that were returned for touchdowns. After the two-minute warning, Clev...

South Korea's SEOULFollowing his abrupt declaration of martial law and army mobilization, which plunged his nation into chaos, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol retreated early on Wednesday. Yoon took this action in response to the nationwide outcry that broke out about 155 minutes after he declared his intention to take over in a late-night television speech on Tuesday.

In a national television broadcast, Yoon declared, "I have accepted the decision made by the National Assembly to dissolve and lift the martial law." It marked the sudden ...

A former ballerina who was found guilty of manslaughter for killing her estranged spouse in self-defense was given a 20-year prison sentence on Tuesday. Judge Mathew Whyte of the Circuit Court stated that Ashley Benefield, 33, did not warrant a reduced sentence even though he thought she had behaved under pressure and demonstrated regret for shooting Doug Benefield, 58, at her Florida home on September 27, 2020. Ashley Benefield's attorneys had pushed for a less sentence because the maximum penalty was 30 years. She was also given a 10-year probationary period by Whyte. When Whyte announced the penalty, Ashley Benefield didn't make a move. Doug Benefield's family stated following Tuesday's hearing that they thought Ashley Benefield's penalty was appropriate, even though they didn't agree w...

After being bitten by a bat, a woman in Central California died of rabies, according to officials on Tuesday. This is the first death from the saliva-passed disease in her county in over 30 years. Laura Splotch, a friend and family representative, informed NBC News on Tuesday that Leah Seneng, 60, passed away on November 22 after being bitten by a bat inside her classroom at Bryant Middle School in Dos Palos, Merced County, on October 14.

"And that's when she thought ...
