PRINCE GEORGE, B.C. — Prince George Conservation and RCMP officers are “actively investigating” six separate coyote attacks within a week in the city.RCMP say in a statement they have issued a warning to the public after receiving separate complaints of the attacks. B.C. conservation officer Eamon McArthur says most of the attacks have been on homeless people, some of whom have also been “actively feeding” the coyotes. He says it’s unclear if they are feeding them by hand or tossing the food, but those coyotes now identify people with food. McArthur said coyotes have bitten some of these people when they’ve been sleeping. RCMP Cpl. Jennifer Cooper says they are now working with conservation officers on patrols to locate the “offending coyotes.”Cooper says the public needs to avoid feeding coyotes as it can lure them to spend more time in populated areas.“They are not domestic animals and should not be treated as such,” says Cooper.McArthur said his tea...Brazil’s President Lula recovering in hospital after hip replacement surgery

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was recovering in a hospital Friday after undergoing a successful hip replacement operation, which is likely to put a temporary halt to his frequent international trips but otherwise not disrupt his activities.Dr Roberto Kalil told journalists Friday that the leftist leader would soon be transferred to his room at the Hospital Sirio-Libanes in capital Brasilia, after successful surgery that required a general anesthesia and lasted between two and three hours. Lula, 77, is expected to spend a few days in the hospital and to return to the presidential palace early next week. Lula also underwent minor eyelid surgery, Kalil said.The government had said Lula would remain president throughout instead of temporarily passing authority to Vice President Geraldo Alckmin.“The impact of Lula’s surgery will probably be small and should not affect the decision-making process or negotiations in a significant way,” said Paulo Calmo...2 Mexican migrants shot dead, 3 injured in dawn attack on US border near Tecate, Mexico

House Republicans are letting loose with criticism of their GOP colleagues who voted against the conference’s short-term funding bill with just a day and a half until a government shutdown.“There are 21 Republicans who just voted to defund the United States military and keep the border open,” said Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-Wis.). “They need to be called out by name. I mean, this is not a Republican shutdown. This is a shutdown — if we don't get this done soon — that is caused by 21 individual members of the Republican conference.”The failed bill would have extended funding until Oct. 31 with spending cuts and included a swath of border policy changes, and was intended to give the House GOP leverage ahead of negotiations with the Democratic-controlled Senate and White House. But with the failure of the bill, and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) unwilling to bring up a Senate continuing resolution, a shutdown looks likelier than ever. Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.), a...Police search for 12-year-old girl missing from Armour Square

It’s been a point of emphasis this week, with head coach Kevin O’Connell imploring his players to hand the ball to the official after every single play. In his eyes, if he can get his players to focus on that, they won’t have to worry about things like forward progress.— It goes without saying but the Vikings need to lean on star receiver Justin Jefferson. He went more than 15 minutes of game time without a target in last week’s loss and that can’t happen again.
