The Supreme Court on Monday ruled against a Colorado woman who sued her local police department and town for failing to enforce a restraining order. The woman had summoned police after her estranged husband took their three daughters. He murdered the children before being killed in a shootout with the police.

Despite Slight Drop in Numbers
