More than 20 people were injured on Saturday after an alleged drunk driver plowed into pedestrians at a Louisiana parade celebrating the Lao New Year.

Successful events hinge on detailed planning, including site maps, barricade layouts, and medical staging areas. These elements are critical for safety and operational success.

South Korean president Lee Jae Myung warned at a cabinet meeting this week that the issue is safety and urged heightened vigilance by the interior ministry and emergency services to prepare for every possibility. He described the concert as an important occasion to reaffirm the country's global cultural standing.

I was in the middle of saying as a born and raised New Yorker, we welcome everyone into this city when he threw that over my head.

In that small 30-block zone last year, there were 486 reported crashes, injuring 76 cyclists, 108 pedestrians (one fatally) and 67 motorists, according to city stats. That's more than a crash every day, injuring more than 250 people.

Two men who brought explosives to a protest outside New York City's mayoral mansion said they were inspired by the Islamic State extremist group, a court complaint said. Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi were being held without bail after their arraignment Monday on charges that include attempting to provide material support to a terrorist organization and using a weapon of mass destruction.

The attack took place at the corner of Stockton and Sacramento streets in Chinatown around 1:13 pm Thursday. The SFPD responded to the scene and found the male victim suffering from a stab wound to the back. Surveillance video shows the attacker, dressed in a black hoodie and carrying a shopping bag, approach the victim who was waiting at the intersection to cross the street.

To manage the crowds, the public order office is deploying up to 400 staff, along with around 2,600 security personnel from external service providers. Police are also sending up to 1,500 additional officers. Last year, Islamists suspected of belonging to so-called Islamic State (IS) used social networks to call for attacks including on Cologne's celebrations. The security assessment remains one of caution.

Behemoth regret to announce the cancellation of the band's scheduled performance on March 3 in Bangalore, India. Over the past few weeks, we and our team have received numerous credible threats stemming from religious Christian groups who have been applying pressure to authorities and to the promoter in an effort to stop the show from taking place. These threats have raised serious concerns regarding the band's safety and security, including the possibility of arrest or physical danger.

Life doesn't pause for grief or fear. You might be going through something devastating but you're still packing lunches, still driving your kids to baseball practice, still showing up to work. One minute I find myself prepping for a whole home presentation and the next minute I'm checking the news, hoping and praying that no one has been killed on the streets today.

DOWNTOWN AND BROOKLYN NAVY YARD - PHONE THEFTS are spiking at Brooklyn venues, with fans reporting missing devices after shows at Brooklyn Paramount in Downtown and Brooklyn Storehouse in Brooklyn Navy Yard.

Let me be emphatic; all undocumented immigrants have committed a crime. They have all broken immigration law. All of the undocumented immigrants I spoke to frankly admitted this. And almost all of them also expressed a real desire for immigration reform. That surprised me-at first. Although, on second thought, they would almost certainly benefit from any rationalized system-which would necessarily recognize their indispensable importance to the U.S. economy.

Three men were hit by bullets, including a 30-year-old victim who'd been shot in the head, and a fourth man was stabbed in the armpit during three separate nightclub attacks in Brooklyn and the Bronx within three hours early Saturday, police said.
