Munich police spokeswoman: "Several dead and wounded" in Munich mall attack; shooter or shooters on the run

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Puerto Rico's governor says he will not authorize aerial spraying with the insecticide Naled to fight an increase in Zika cases despite being urged to do so by U.S. health officials. Alejandro Garcia Padilla announced Friday that he instead will support the spraying of the organic larvicide Bti. He said he hopes no child is born with congenital defects because of the decision he took. Zika can cause microcephaly, a rare defect in which babies are born with abnormally small heads and brain damage. The U.S. territory has 5,582 Zika cases and is seeing a 20 to 30 percent weekly increase in such cases. The island reported the first microcephaly case acquired on U.S. soil in May. It involved a fetus that a woman turned over to U.S. health officials.
