| Turkey culls nearly 1,400 from army, overhauls top military council | |  By Yesim Dikmen and Ayla Jean Yackley ANKARA/ISTANBUL, Turkey (Reuters) - Turkey dismissed nearly 1,400 members of its armed forces and stacked the top military council with government ministers on Sunday, moves designed by President Tayyip Erdogan to put him in full control of the military after a failed coup. The new wave of expulsions and the overhaul of the Supreme Military Council (YAS) were announced in the government's official gazette just hours after Erdogan said late on Saturday he planned to shut down existing military academies and put the armed forces under the command of the Defence Ministry.

| Guns and memory of mass shooting collide at Texas campus | |  By Jon Herskovitz AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) - Half a century ago, a sniper perched on a University of Texas tower unleashed a killing spree that left 16 dead, and for the first time since then the school will hold an official memorial for an event that shocked the nation. The lawmakers say the "campus carry" law, which goes into effect August 1, could prevent another mass shootings, while many survivors of the university tower shooting half a century ago see it as a chillingly wrong-headed approach that could spark more killing. The campus carry law allows those over 21 with a concealed handgun permit to take guns into classrooms and several parts of the campus.
