WARREN, Mich. (AP) — A suburban Detroit police officer is being praised as a hero for saving the life of an 18-month-old boy after he stopped a car for speeding.Warren Police Department Officer Brenden Fraser was watching for distracted drivers Tuesday when he stopped a Chevrolet Camaro going an estimated 75-80 mph (120-129 kilometers per hour).“We got a baby in here dying!” the boy’s mother told him.Fraser saw the baby was turning blue and his eyes had rolled back.“I look inside, and there’s a child that’s having some kind of medical emergency when the uncle hands him over to me,” said Fraser. “He had spit and all types of saliva around his mouth. It looked like he was maybe choking, so I put him on my forearm, and I administered a couple of back blows to him when I felt some saliva and vomit fall onto my arm.”That got the boy breathing again.“Watching it now, it’s kind of overwhelming, but in the moment there’s really not much thought other than relying on the training,” Fra...One injured due to kitchen fire in Moss Park area

NEW YORK (AP) — Singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett, who popularized beach bum soft rock with the escapist Caribbean-flavored song “Margaritaville” and turned that celebration of loafing into a billion-dollar empire of restaurants, resorts and frozen concoctions, has died. He was 76. “Jimmy passed away peacefully on the night of September 1st surrounded by his family, friends, music and dogs,” a statement posted to Buffett’s official website and social media pages said late Friday. “He lived his life like a song till the very last breath and will be missed beyond measure by so many.” The statement did not say where Buffett died or provide a cause of death. Illness had forced him to reschedule concerts in May and Buffett acknowledged in social media posts that he had been hospitalized, but provided no specifics.Buffett previously told the Canadian Press of his Canadian lineage, saying he maintains a close connection to his family on the East Coast.“Canada holds a special place in m...Masked suspects shoot at van during planned robbery on Colorado highway, investigators say

Here’s what you need to know about the student loan on-ramp, the consequences and alternatives.How does the on-ramp work?The on-ramp will run from Oct. 1, 2023, to Sept. 30, 2024.
