Jun. 19—Maui police have opened a terroristic threatening investigation after a male suspect allegedly pointed a firearm at a county Parks and Recreation Enforcement officer at a beach park Thursday night.

Officers responded to the call of disorderly conduct at Kanaha Beach Park at about 7 :20 p.m.

Upon arrival, county Parks and Recreation Enforcement officers informed police that they told two males in a truck to vacate the parking lot as they were within the park after closing hours.

One of the males allegedly pointed a firearm at one of the enforcement officers and threatened to use it.

The males then fled the scene. No injuries were reported.

Police have not made any arrests at this time.

UK seeks further three-month 'grace period' in EU sausage spat
Britain asked the European Union on Thursday for a further three months to resolve a dispute over whether chilled meat products such as sausages, produced in the mainland United Kingdom, can continue to be sold in Northern Ireland. Under post-Brexit trade rules agreed last year, the British province of Northern Ireland is effectively treated as part of the EU for customs purposes under a protocol to avoid politically sensitive border checks with the Republic of Ireland. Britain has not committed to follow EU food safety rules after Brexit, which according to the EU means chilled meat from mainland Britain should no longer be sold in Northern Ireland.

Virus surge claims brightest minds at Indian universities
Sajad Hassan sat at his professor's hospital bedside for three nights, doing most of the talking as his friend and mentor breathed through an oxygen mask and struggled with a suspected COVID-19 infection. Both were confident the 48-year-old academic would be heading home soon, until a coronavirus test came back positive and physicians ordered him moved to the isolation ward — known by many at the university hospital as the “dark room” because so few who entered came out alive. Two days later Dr. Jibraeil was dead, one of nearly 50 professors and non-teaching staff at AMU, one of India's top universities, who fell victim to the coronavirus as it ripped through through the country in April and May. AMU's tragedy was repeated across India as schools suffered similar blows to their faculty, and the loss of their knowledge — and in many cases friendship and guidance — has been devastating to the academic community.
