1. Three officers who were killed in last week's Dallas shootings laid to rest Wednesday. Ceremonies held for senior corporal Lorne Ahrens, sergeant¹ Michael Smith and officer Brent Thompson. Thompson's wife who was also in office spoke², saying the shooter's hate only made police stronger.

2. The U.K's newest prime³ minister took office Wednesday. Teresa May met with Queen Elizabeth before officially taking the post. Former prime minister announced his resignation⁴, following the country's vote to leave the European union.

3. And in Spain, an American and five others were injured during the famous "Running of the bulls⁵". One of the bulls crashed into several runners during the event in Pamplona, lifting at least two in the air with its horns.

4. And in Colorado, video from a sheriff deputy's body camera shows a bear stuck inside a car. The bear managed to get into the car without breaking any windows and then couldn't get out. The bear ran out as soon as the hatch⁶ opened, leaving behind a big mess.
