The search for survivors is ongoing following the eruption of Guatemala’s Fuego volcano over the weekend. At least 25 people were killed as the eruption blanketed nearby villages in ash and sent lava flowing down the mountain.

3. FBI dance floor shooting investigation continues
Video from over the weekend showed an off-duty FBI agent showing off his dance moves at a Denver bar and doing a backflip when his gun fell out of his waistband.
