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.
Your support makes all the difference.A 73-year-old man went on a shooting rampage in south-western Arizona, killing his ex-wife and apparently targeting people who supported her in their divorce.
Carey Hal Dyess killed five people and wounded one in the shootings on Thursday around Yuma, a city of about 91,000. He was later found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. Authorities previously identified one of the victims as the prominent Yuma attorney Jerrold Shelley, who represented Dyess' ex-wife in their 2006 divorce.
Leon Wilmot, chief deputy for the Yuma County Sheriff's Office, said one of the other victims was Dyess' ex-wife, and the other victims were all either acquaintances or friends of Dyess' ex-wife who "supported her during the course of the divorce".
