Via Fortune– Various world leaders met this weekend at the G20 summit in Turkey. The two-day summit is generally a time to discuss economics, but as it convened just two days following the terrorist attacks in Paris, it became an opportunity to discuss the evolving global threat that is the Islamic State.

President Obama declared that he would increase efforts towards eradicating ISIS to prevent more attacks similar to the one that occurred in Paris on Friday, Reuters reports: “The United States and its allies will redouble efforts to find a peaceful solution in Syria and prevent Islamic State militants from perpetrating attacks like those in Paris.”

Reuters writes that U.S. officials are expecting France to up its involvement in the U.S.-led coalition’s bombing campaign against the Islamic State. Obama is taking this opportunity to attempt to encourage other European and Middle Eastern powers to do the same.

Russia began air strikes in Syria nearly two months ago, but has been aiding president Bashar al-Assad, whom Turkey and western allies do not support, by targeting his moderate Syrian opposition. Donald Tusk, president of the European Council, has urged Vladimir Putin to shift Russia’s military efforts to focus on ISIS.

According to a draft communique, as seen by Reuters, leaders at the summit are expected to agree that the migrant crisis is a global problem and they need to coordinate a way to tackle it.

The draft is due to be published on Monday, but has yet to be accepted by all the G20 leaders, specifically China, India, and Russia.

Paris Massacre: Woman Escapes Death After Attacker’s Rifle Misfires

Via Guns.com– What started out as a seemingly typical Friday night at a Paris cafe quickly turned to unexplainable mayhem and the chilling, life-changing moments were captured on the cafe’s security cameras.

One of the terrorists responsible for the murder of 129 people and serious injuries of hundreds more, including about 100 of which are considered critical, was clearly seen in the video walking in front of the cafe, spraying bullets and randomly killing people.

But in addition to the sheer savagery of the shooter, the video also shows one woman who is extremely lucky to be alive after the terrorist’s rifle misfired as he held the gun to her head and attempted – unsuccessfully – to pull the trigger.

9 Yr Old Chicago Boy Body Found In Alley; Possible Gang Retaliation

There is a $20,000 reward in the murder of a 9-year-old on the city’s south side.

According to ABC Reports:

Police investigating the fatal shooting of 9-year-old Tyshawn Lee in a South Side alley believe that the boy was targeted as part of an ongoing gang feud involving his relatives.

Police said they believe the child’s father has information about the possible retaliation, but is not being forthcoming.

Meanwhile, Tyshawn’s mother, Karla Lee, has made tearful public pleas for help in solving her son’s murder.

Police are still unclear about a motive and have not ruled out retaliation. His family said he was a great kid who was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

A $20,000 reward, raised by community groups, is offered for information leading to an arrest in the shooting.

Tyshawn was fatally shot in an alley near his grandmother’s home in the 8000-block of South Damen Avenue in the city’s Gresham neighborhood around 4:15 p.m. Monday.

Tyshawn’s basketball was found next to his dead body. Family members said he loved basketball and brought his ball everywhere he went.

Police said an unknown number of people were gathered in the alley when an argument led to gunfire. Tyshawn was shot several times in the upper body, including in the head and back.

An autopsy Tuesday determined that the boy died of multiple gunshot wounds, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

Tyshawn’s mother set up a GoFundMe page to raise money to pay for her son’s funeral.
