Family row ends in death
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

The 15-year-old boy was recovering from an operation at St Richard's Hospital, Chichester, last night but his father, Gerald Carter, 50, died outside the family home in Chichester, West Sussex.
Police were called to the scene at lunchtime after neighbours heard gunshots. They found the boy in a pool of blood with gunshot wounds to the stomach. Paramedics rushed him to St Richard's Hospital, Chichester.
The boy's mother, who was not in the house at the time of the incident, was being comforted by relatives last night.
