TORONTO - Canadian authorities charged a man Saturday for the deaths of two police officers and two civilians in a shooting that struck a nerve in a country that has been roiled in recent months by several instances of mass violence.

Police in the eastern city of Fredericton, New Brunswick, said Matthew Raymond, 48, was arrested and charged with four counts of first-degree murder. Horizon Health, which delivers care for New Brunswick's Department of Health, said Raymond was the only person being treated for injuries related to the shooting. He is due to appear in court Aug 27.

The victims have been identified as officers Robb Costello, 45, and Sara Burns, 43, and couple Donnie Robichaud, 42, and Bobbie-Lee Wright, 32.

No motive has been disclosed.

Police said Costello and Burns were responding to calls of shots fired Friday at an apartment complex and saw two deceased civilians before being shot and killed themselves. Fredericton police Chief Leanne Fitch said Raymond used a long gun and was in an elevated position when he fired. Fitch said he was shot by police and was in serious but stable condition.

The last homicide in the city of about 60,000 people was in 2014.

The shooting comes as Canada wrestles with a string of violence, including last month in Toronto, where a gunman opened fire in a crowded part of the city, killing two people and wounding 13 before he died in the confrontation. In April, a man who linked himself to a misogynistic online community used a van to run down pedestrians in Toronto, killing 10 people and injuring 14.

Erdogan says U.S. is waging 'economic war' against Turkey

ISTANBUL - Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Saturday blamed the country's economic downturn on the United States and other nations that he claims are waging "war" against his country.

Erdogan said dollars, euros and gold were now "the bullets, cannonballs and missiles of the economic war being waged against our country."

Erdogan promised supporters that Turkey was taking the necessary precautions to protect its economy.

Turkey was hit by a financial shock wave as its currency nosedived over concerns about the government's economic policies and a trade dispute with the United States.

The lira tumbled 14 percent Friday.

President Donald Trump on Friday tweeted that he had authorized the doubling of steel and aluminum tariffs on Turkey.

Firefighters make gains against blaze south of LA, officials say

LAKE ELSINORE, Calif. - Firefighters made significant progress trying to tamp down a wildfire that threatened homes and has been raging for days south of Los Angeles, officials said Saturday.

Aircraft have been making flight after flight, dumping water and bright pink retardant to protect Lake Elsinore and other foothill communities as the fire sweeps through the dense, bone-dry brush of the Cleveland National Forest.

The Holy Fire - named for Holy Jim Canyon, where it began Monday - grew to nearly 33 square miles Saturday. But firefighters also made progress, with containment rising to 29 percent.

Forrest Clark, 51, who is accused of deliberately starting the fire appeared in court Friday, but his arraignment was postponed.

Germany, Spain leaders pledge united front to tackle migration

BARCELONA, Spain - The leaders of Germany and Spain on Saturday promoted a shared approach to immigration into the European Union amid growing populist opposition in other EU nations to taking in more asylum-seekers.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, meeting at a country estate in the southern region of Andalusia, advocated a "fair distribution" of migrants for EU nations. They said they will share their common vision at an EU summit next month in Austria.

The International Organization for Migration says 24,000 refugees and other migrants have arrived in Spain by sea this year - nearly triple last year's number. At least 1,500 other migrants have died this year in the Mediterranean crossing.

3 Jordan officers killed in raid of militant hideout

AMMAN, Jordan - Three members of Jordan's security forces were killed Saturday when they stormed a hideout of suspected militants that had been rigged with explosives, government spokeswoman Jumana Ghuneimat said.

The officers had been chasing suspects in an explosion a day earlier in which a policeman was killed.

Ghuneimat said three suspects were arrested and searches continued for others. Several people were injured in the raid, she said.

Prime Minister Omar Razzaz called Friday's bombing a "terrorist attack."

Jordan is a close Western ally. On Friday, a bomb was planted under a police vehicle providing security at a music festival in the town of Fuheis. On Saturday, police raided buildings west of Amman, the capital, as part of the manhunt.

Indonesian quake toll: 387 dead, island 10 inches higher

TANJUNG, Indonesia - Scientists say the powerful Indonesian earthquake that killed nearly 400 people lifted the island it struck by as much as 10 inches.

Using satellite images of Lombok from the days following the Aug. 5 quake, scientists from NASA and the California Institute of Technology's joint rapid imaging project made a ground deformation map and measured changes in the island's surface.

Meanwhile, the National Disaster Mitigation Agency said Saturday that 387 people died, jumping from the 321 it reported Friday, as search teams continued to sift through the rubble.

Almost 390,000 people, about 10 percent of Lombok's population, are homeless or displaced after the quake, which damaged or destroyed 68,000 homes.

In Albania: Two quakes with preliminary magnitudes of 5.4 and 5.1 struck Saturday, damaging 67 buildings, authorities said. The Defense Ministry said the stronger quake hit near the village of Vinjoll, 75 miles north of Tirana, the capital. The smaller quake happened 24 miles north of Tirana. There were no injuries.

In Greece: Health officials say the death toll from the July 23 fire at the seaside resort of Mati, near Athens, has risen to 94 after a 57-year-old woman in intensive care died of her injuries Saturday. The Ministry of Health said the woman is the 11th person to have died in the hospital from injuries from the fire.
