Start planning your European vacation
The European Union agreed Wednesday to open its borders to vaccinated travelers after more than a year of severe restrictions on travel into the bloc, a spokesman said Wednesday.
Christian Wigand did not say immediately when the change would take effect. A formal final approval is still necessary, but the measure’s passage is not in doubt. Travelers would need to have vaccines approved for use within the European Union — meaning that all the vaccines currently available in the United States would be greenlighted, but vaccines currently manufactured in Russia and China would not be.
D.A. says sheriff’s deputies were “justified” in fatally shooting Andrew Brown Jr. during an attempted arrest last month
District Attorney Andrew Womble said Tuesday that the deputies who fatally shot Andrew Brown Jr. last month were justified in using deadly force, citing a North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation probe.
Womble said the shooting, “while tragic, was justified because Mr. Brown’s actions caused three deputies to reasonably believe it was necessary to use deadly force to protect themselves and others.”
Brown, a 42-year-old Black man, was fatally shot by Pasquotank County sheriff’s deputies in Elizabeth City on April 21 when they attempted to serve him with an arrest warrant, according to the sheriff’s office.
… Womble … has said Brown’s moving vehicle made contact with law enforcement officers twice before the deputies opened fire. But the Brown family and their attorneys, who have watched body-camera and dash-cam videos of the shooting, say Brown was not a threat to the officers.
“It was absolutely, unequivocally unjustified,” attorney Chance Lynch said last week. “Our legal team is more committed now to pursue justice … because what we saw today was unconstitutional and it was unjustifiable.”
