News of the day from across the nation, June 25

1 Deputies shot: A suspect has been arrested on suspicion of shooting and wounding two Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies during a series of gunbattles, authorities said Friday.

2 Orlando attack: FBI investigators so far have not turned up persuasive evidence that gunman Omar Mateen was pursuing gay relationships, according to two government officials familiar with the investigation.

The FBI began investigating the possibility after media reports last week quoted men as saying that Mateen had reached out to them on gay dating apps and had frequented the gay nightclub where the June 12 massacre of 49 people took place.

[...] the officials told the Associated Press that the FBI, which has conducted 500 interviews, has not found concrete evidence to corroborate such accounts.

More than 30 people who attended a Dallas event with motivational speaker Tony Robbins have been treated for burns after Robbins encouraged them to walk on hot coals as a way of conquering their fears, fire officials said.

In a statement to the Associated Press, representatives for Robbins said about 7,000 people walked across the coals and only five “requested any examination beyond what was readily available on site.”
