May 26—The man police say shot into a neighbor's Marietta home after being told he wasn't allowed into a party has been captured in Arkansas, according to the Cobb County Police Department.

Authorities announced late Tuesday that Cody Demmitt had been captured. The announcement came three days after police say he injured one man when he shot "multiple rounds" into a home on Westchase Drive at around 11:30 p.m. on Saturday.

When police arrived at the home on Saturday, they found a man with a gunshot wound to the shoulder, according to Officer S.A. Barner, a spokesperson for the Cobb County Police Department.

Barner said that man was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Detectives said Demmitt fled the scene before police arrived.

The investigation is ongoing, and anyone with information is asked to call Cobb County Police at 770-499-3945.

EU seeks large AstraZeneca fine for alleged contract breach
A lawyer for the European Union accused AstraZeneca on Wednesday of failing to respect its contract with the 27-nation bloc for the supply of COVID-19 vaccines and asked a Belgian court to impose a large fine on the company. The EU took the Anglo-Swedish firm to court in April afterthe drugmaker said it would aim to deliver only 100 milliondoses of its vaccine by the end of June, instead of the 300 million foreseen in the supply contract. AstraZeneca had delivered 50 million doses at the beginning of May, one-fourth of the 200 million vaccines foreseen in the contract by then.

China's Shenzhen to tighten residency rules to curb population boom
China's tech hub of Shenzhen aims to make it harder for people from out-of-town to settle in a rare tightening of residency rules, as its population balloons and resources and services come under pressure. While the southern boomtown is far from being China's most populous city, its population grew by 7.1 million in the past decade to 17.56 million in 2020, with the jump surpassing increases in entire provinces such as Jiangsu and Shandong over the same period. The city's population growth is being propelled by its thriving tech industry, loose urban residency curbs and generous home purchase subsidies.

German coronavirus incidence hits lowest level since October
The coronavirus infection rate in Germany has fallen below 50 per 100,000 people for the first time since October, data showed on Wednesday, and the health minister said the country can have a summer of peace from the virus if it keeps pushing it down. The incidence rate compiled by the government's disease prevention agency, the Robert Koch Institute, fell to 46.8 per 100,000, though officials said this was partly due to a bank holiday on Monday that reduced the number of cases recorded. "The question of how much peace we will have from this virus in the summer depends very much on how low we can get the infection figures down now," Health Minister Jens Spahn told NTV television.

Jimmy Kimmel Mocks Trump’s Shameless Fundraising Ad: ‘Send the Billionaire Your Money, Dummies’
via ABCFormer President Donald Trump is still going around asking for money in a TV advertisement that Jimmy Kimmel thoroughly mocked in his monologue on Thursday. The 30-second spot features the ex-commander in chief—still referred to as “President”—saying he needs cash to prevent the country from “being destroyed.”“It’s so brazen one could almost call it magnificent,” Kimmel said.The ad is being aired on the conservative television station Newsmax, which was recently forced to retract its false election claims in light of a defamation lawsuit by Dominion Voting Systems.It opens by claiming that President Joe Biden is “falling down on the job” as a not-so-subtle clip plays of the president tripping while ascending the stairs to Air Force One.“President Trump is fighting to elect ‘America First’ Republicans to stop Biden’s disastrous policies,” the narrator says. “And he needs your help.”Trump then cuts right to the point: “Send your money to DonaldJTrump.com.”“Send the billionaire your money, dummies, he wants it,” Kimmel said, noting the blunt nature of the financial appeal, something in which Trump is well versed.In the two months after the presidential election, Trump raked in more than $250 million, having fundraised off his own false claims of a rigged contest. But what exactly that money went toward isn’t clear, and much of it could simply be personal use.“[Trump is] not even bothering to send a worthless commemorative coin in exchange anymore,” Kimmel added.“Donald Trump is the personal injury attorney of former presidents,” Kimmel concluded. The late-night host added that there are “mini-Trumps all over the place,” like Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is making a habit of comparing mask mandates and vaccine passports to Nazi Germany.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.
