A community mourns after a 3-year-old girl died after she was shot by her father in a surprise district last week.

Shortly after 6:30 p.m., officials were called to a neighborhood near 184th Avenue and the Bell Road, reports of a man who act irregularly.

Police officers say that the man, the 48-year-old Dariusz Modrzejewski, called 9-1-1 and made impending statements about the damage to his family.

Surprise and Swat team members arrived at home and hired a radius in the area.

Christopher Pelkey ​​was killed in Chandler in Chandler in 2021, but last month the artificial intelligence aroused him while convicting his murderer.

It was the first time in Arizona judicial history – and possibly nationwide – that AI was used to create the effects of a deceased victim.

Pelkey's sister and brother-in-law used the technology to reproduce his image and voice to “speak” with the courtroom about his life and on the day he met Gabriel Paul Horcasitas, who shot him near Gilbert and Germann-Straßen during a confrontation.

“We could probably have been friends in another life,” said the AI ​​creation of the 37-year-old army-erana, who dealt with Horcasitas. “I believe in forgiveness …”

While the Capitol in Arizona is preparing for household negotiations, clear division lines are created between the legislation and governor Katie Hobbs led by Republicans.

MP David Livingston, who heads budget negotiations, said ABC15 that he does not expect any new, ongoing expenses.

“I think if we pay increases, maybe some transport and DPS increases, that could be about it,” he said.

Payment recordings for employees and correction officers from the public security department are an agreement area. Governor Katie Hobbs ceased the salary increases in the budget plan published in January.

Since then, Hobbs has stated that their budget priorities include the financing of border security, childcare and affordability of living space.

Since public school districts continue to try to find out how to deal with a declining enrollment, the largest district of the state, Mesa Public School, pursues a different approach with its smaller locations.

In the 5th grade at Lehi Elementary, around 45 students are taught by three employees, two teachers and one teaching assistant. In the portable gap behind the main building there are two walls that can open with a sliding door or wooden panels.

On Monday morning, the pupils in the middle part of the portable teacher learned math and schools on the front, while a teacher walks around and keep an eye on the children.

The students learn together for part of the day, but then separate themselves with their assigned teacher in their main classrooms in order to work on a smaller scale.
