Some officers had little choice but to break guidelines recommended by law enforcement groups and safety experts, known as best practices, to save or protect someone.

A Republican primary runoff for a North Carolina congressional district could demonstrate yet again the strong influence former President Donald Trump has on GOP politics across the country. Voters on Tuesday will choose between attorneys Kelly Daughtry and Brad Knott in the reconfigured 13th Congressional District. Daughtry finished first, and Knott second, in the March 5 primary. Knott received Trump's endorsement last month, prompting Daughtry to suspend her campaign. Early voting had already begun, however, and the runoff continues with in-person voting on Tuesday. Voters will also choose GOP nominees for lieutenant governor and state auditor. Trump has intervened in GOP primaries in North Carolina and elsewhere.
