Police say an elderly driver, suspected of impairment, hit a group of cyclists, killing one and wounding at least twelve.

Armed officers responded to Chalford Road near St Peter’s high school in Tuffley shortly after 8:50 a.m. on Friday. The response triggered lockdowns at two nearby schools. Witnesses reported two individuals, one holding a sword, chasing two 17‑year‑olds before the suspects fled on foot. Police have now arrested three teenagers in connection with the attack.

Paraguayan President Santiago Peña was removed from office and placed under house arrest on Friday. The Senate voted to impeach him after a state‑linked bank collapsed.
