Midday Roundup: NYPD mourns slain young officer

In mourning. Thousands of uniformed police officers lined the streets of a Long Island town where New York Police Officer Brian Moore was laid to rest today. Moore, 25, was shot and killed while on patrol in Queens, N.Y., last weekend. Police arrested Demetrius Blackwell and charged him with murder in the crime. Investigators said Moore and his partner stopped Blackwell because they suspected he was carrying a gun. He then brandished the weapon and shot at Moore and his partner without warning, according to police. Moore came from a family of police officers and had won service awards in his short career.

Peace offering. Saudi Arabia is offering a ceasefire in Yemen after waging war against Shiite Houthi rebels for more than a month. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry helped make the announcement during a visit to Saudi Arabia. “A full, five-day, renewable ceasefire and humanitarian pause,” Kerry said. “No bombing. No shooting. No movement or repositioning of troops to achieve military advantage.” Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir said rebels must still agree to the truce. A start date has yet to be determined.

Friends like these. The slow drip of damaging information about the Clinton Foundation is keeping Hillary Clinton’s newly launched presidential campaign on its heels. At least four Clinton Foundation board members have been charged with or convicted of serious financial crimes, according the just-released exposé Clinton Cash by Peter Schweizer. Vinod Gupta, the founder of InfoUSA, served as a foundation trustee. He was charged in 2008 with using company money to support his lifestyle, including nearly $10 million to pay for personal jet travel. He settled with the Securities and Exchange Commission for $4 million. Other Clinton Foundation board members were charged with or convicted of crimes such as bribery and fraud.

Public threat. The Islamic State (ISIS) is publicly targeting the woman behind an anti-Islam cartoon contest, according to the New York City police department. Pamela Geller with the American Freedom Defense Initiative was identified by name in an online warning that said ISIS has trained fighters in 15 states ready to attack. The message called for her death and that of anyone who helped her. During an appearance on Fox News with Sean Hannity, Geller slammed the FBI for not reaching out to her since the threat was made. “The FBI and President Obama should provide security. There’s just no question about it because he created an environment that raised the stakes on this,” Geller said. Geller organized the “Draw the Prophet” contest in Garland, Texas, where two armed men with possible ties to ISIS were shot after firing at a security officer.

Tragic flight. A helicopter crash in Pakistan today killed ambassadors from the Philippines and Norway and the wives of ambassadors from Malaysia and Indonesia. Seventeen people were on board the army helicopter for a diplomatic trip when the aircraft crashed and caught fire. At least seven passengers and crew members have been reported dead. The Pakistani Taliban claimed to have shot down the helicopter, but the government blamed a technical failure for the crash.
