Cops cuff college student after fatally wounding him with seven shots.

The Los Angeles County coroner’s office has released their report on the death of Kendrec McDade, a young black man who was shot and killed by cops in Pasadena, California this past March after police officers responded to a fraudulent 911 call. According to the medical examiner that assessed the body, at least three of the shots fired at McDade were fatal. The report also reveals, however, that authorities thought it was appropriate to shackle the teenager after emptying more than half a dozen rounds into his body. The officers that shot and killed McDade did so while responding to a 911 call placed by local shop owner Oscar Carrillo.

And research into demand for water revealed 2.7bn people live in areas that suffer severe water shortages for at least one month of the year.
