In Newcastle, Australia, a five-year-old girl is in a critical condition after a vehicle collided with a crowd of National Rugby League fans. The incident occurred as supporters gathered to bid farewell to the Knights team bus before the NRL grand final. Ten people were injured in total, including three children. A P-plate driver has been charged with nine offenses in connection with the crash.
Meanwhile, in London, a 40-year-old man was fatally shot during a memorial service in East Acton. Police have launched a murder investigation into what they described as a "senseless act of violence." The victim was pronounced dead at the scene after multiple shots were heard on Friday evening.
