The suspect in the Berlin Pride attack, Abdul Ballout, was killed by police during a confrontation in Spandau. Ballout, a German citizen with Lebanese roots, is suspected of driving a van into a crowd and stabbing others with a machete near the Pride festival. Prosecutors stated he had previously sought to join the Islamic State group.

Vermont lawmakers passed a law restricting automatic license plate tracking, but police circumvented it by using out-of-state surveillance systems. The loophole allows tracking of vehicles when they travel outside Vermont, raising privacy concerns and highlighting the use of a national network of cameras not addressed in the state law.
