A Maitland man has been charged with the murder of a three-month-old infant in Newcastle earlier this year.
In August this year, emergency services were called to a unit at Hamilton South shortly before 11am following reports a baby girl was found unresponsive.
The baby was taken to John Hunter Hospital where she was declared deceased.
Police began arriving almost immediately after Ahmaud Arbery was shot in a coastal Georgia subdivision, finding the unarmed Black man lying facedown in his own blood while the man who shot him paced with hands on his head.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution first reported on the footage, which it obtained after the video was filed with public court documents in the murder case against the McMichaels.
A woman has been airlifted to hospital after being trapped under her car at a primary school in Sydney's north-west.
Ambulance crews were called to Mary Immaculate Primary School in Quakers Hill just after 3pm this afternoon.
A woman was found trapped under the wheel of a car and airlifted to hospital with serious leg injuries.
A second woman and a four-year-old child were also hit by the vehicle and suffered minor injuries.
Early investigations suggest as the woman got out of her car, it started rolling back and trapped her underneath, while also striking the woman and child, NSW Police said.
The 45-year-old man, who works as a van driver shuttling aircrew to and from Sydney Airport, received his positive test result this morning.
NSW Health this afternoon said the man attended a Little Rangers session at Forest Rangers Football Club at Gannons Park on Pindari Road and Isaac Street in Peakhurst, on December 11 between 4.30pm and 5.30pm.
"Anyone at the event at the times indicated is considered a casual contact," NSW Health said.
"However, as a precaution we are advising any adults who were present to get tested immediately and isolate until they receive a negative result.
"They should continue to monitor for symptoms and if any symptoms occur, get tested again.
"Children who were present should be monitored for symptoms and get tested if any symptoms occur."
