Montreal police have been cleared of any wrongdoing in the 2005 shooting death of Mohammed Anas Bennis. The long-delayed coroner's inquest says that Montreal police officer Yannick Bernier was acting in self defence when he shot and killed Bennis.

According to the report, Bennis attacked Bernier with a knife, wrestling him to the ground. Witnesses say they heard him scream that he had been struck. When he got up again he pulled out his gun. Bernier said Bennis refused multiple requests to drop his knife. When he allegedly lunged at him, the officer fired two shots.

The NBA will gradually head towards a lockout if a deal isn’t reached between the players and owners. 

A recent three hour meeting this week could not close the divide between the two sides. At stake is everything from salaries, salary caps, to revenue sharing. Players currently receive fifty seven percent of the league’s revenue. Owners want to implement a hard salary cap, which the players oppose.

If a lockout happens, all official league business will be put on hold. 

This one's going to be a doozie: 10 bands played the Wyrd MTL festival on June 20th and I only have 600 words to run down each of their sets. Yikes! Get ready for a hardcore attention deficit concert review. This review will be especially difficult as throughout the course of the show the only thing I could say about most sets was that they were "…weird, well not like actually weird, but like, I'm such an idiot because it's called Wyrd MTL. This is so frustrating."

Ed Belfour, Doug Gilmour, Mark Howe and Joe Nieuwendyk were inducted by the Hockey Hall of Fame on Tuesday. The four former players will be inaugurated into the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto, on November 11th.

Belfour was a top flight goaltender for fourteen seasons, and gained admittance in his first year of eligibility. Nieuwendyk scored 192 goals in his first four seasons , ranking among the best over that span to start a career.
