ACPD launched its Free Gun Lock Giveaway initiative Monday to help improve firearm safety within neighborhoods. Police Chief Rick Greenberg said, "We believe that responsible gun ownership includes taking steps to secure firearms when they are not in use. The Free Gun L...

Y Biden mismo no quiere tener nada que ver con ello. “No tengo nada que decir sobre lo sucedido”, dijo a la prensa el viernes 9 de junio en Rocky Mount, Carolina del Norte.Esta reticencia refleja la situación precaria y sin precedentes en que se encuentra Biden: así como Trump es el primer expresidente acusado de un crimen federal, Biden es el primer presidente cuyo gobierno ha acusado a su principal rival político. En vivo: Trump se declara no culpable de 37 cargos por caso de documentos clasificados ¿Por qué el caso contra Trump se procesa en Florida? Aunque de ninguna manera fue imprevista, la acusación a T...
