A birthday party at a San Diego apartment complex swimming pool ended in a hail of bullets on Sunday night after a gunman opened fire on the crowd, witnesses said.  According to police, at least one person was killed and seven others were wounded, “several” of them critically. Details about the victims have not yet been released. Around 6 p.m., panicked 9-1-1 calls about the attack sent police to the La Jolla Crossroads apartment complex in the University City area. A police helicopter flew over the complex and spotted the gunman, who appeared to be reloading, San Diego Police Chief Shelley Zimmerman said at a press conference. The first three officers to arrive on scene ordered the suspect to drop the weapon. When he allegedly aimed the weapon at them, the police shot and killed him. The suspect’s identity has not yet been released. Zimmerman described him as a white male, wearing brown shorts and armed with a gun. At the time of this writing, investigators haven’t de

Jerry Falwell Jr. Calls Donald Trump The 'Dream President' For Evangelicals

Evangelical leader Jerry Falwell Jr., an early backer of Donald Trump , enthusiastically praised the president’s first 100 days of office.   “I think evangelicals have found their dream president,” Falwell said on Saturday during “Justice With Judge Jeanine” on Fox News .  Falwell cited “reuniting Israel with America” and appointing “people of faith” throughout the administration as the reasons evangelicals in general remain highly supportive of Trump.   Falwell also trashed moderate Republicans, who he said “make my blood boil.” “Honestly I have more respect for Democrats than I do moderate Republicans,” Falwell said. “At least Democrats admit what they believe, and they say it up front, and at least you know what you’re dealing with.” Last year, Falwell faced a mutiny at Liberty University , the school where he serves as president, over his support for Trump.
