\"We're talking about a defensive posture by the U.S. military,\" ABC News' Lana Zak explains. \"According to The New York Times, the United States is actually putting its own code within key Russian targets.\"
Trump said the article was \"not true,\" but the Times cites administration officials who said they think the president wasn't fully briefed on U.S. Cyber Command's reported efforts. ABC News has not independently confirmed the report.
4. 'Beyond upsetting'
A confrontation last month between police in Phoenix and a young couple has sparked outrage, including from the city's mayor, after officers investigating a shoplifting were seen on video pointing guns at the family.
\"There's a mother holding two children, both under the age of 5,\" ABC News' Zachary Kiesch says, describing the bystander video. \"There's officers with their guns drawn threatening to shoot her.\"
The couple was handcuffed, but no charges were filed. The incident is under investigation, according to Phoenix Police Chief Jeri Williams, and the officers involved were placed on desk duty.
Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego issued an apology for the incident on Sunday: \"There is no situation in which this is ever close to acceptable. As a mother myself, seeing these children put in such a terrifying position is beyond upsetting.\"

Doff your cap:
At the age of 13, Tom Sweeney was diagnosed with leukemia. From then on, his main goal was to survive. Graduating from high school would just be a bonus.
\"I want to be an inspiration to other people, but I didn't think this many people would be interested in little old me,\" Sweeney told ABC Philadelphia station WPVI.

While spending countless hours at home and in the hospital fighting the disease, Sweeney not only managed to graduate from high school on time, but with honors -- and he was crowned prom king.
\"Proud, proud, humble, just love -- I can't explain it,\" Sweeney's dad, Tom Sr., told WPVI. \"It is just a dream.\"
