"They immediately began knocking on doors, not knowing when the bomb would go off," Drake said at a press conference Friday night. CBS affiliate WTVF-TV reports police identified the six officers as: Officer Brenna Hosey, Officer James Luellen, Officer Michael Sipos, Officer Amanda Topping, Officer James Wells and Sergeant Timothy Miller.

Mortgage rates hit a three-year low on Friday, August 2, when the average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage hit 3.70%, the lowest they've been since November 2016, according to Mortgage News Daily. If you're considering refinancing your home, your first step should be to figure out if it will actually save you money. Say you took out a $400,000 30-year mortgage 10 years ago with a 4.5% interest rate and have already paid down $80,000 of your balance. If you're able to refinance with a 3.75% interest rate on a 20-year mortgage, your monthly payment would drop to $1,897, saving you around $130 per month. On a deeply seasoned loan, refinancing might result in the borrower owing a significant amount in interest.

Decide if it makes sense to refinanceAlthough many homeowners could save money by refinancing, it isn't the right choice for everyone. In order to secure a lower interest rate, you'll end up paying closing costs again, which can include bank fees, appraisal fees and attorney fees, among other things. On a deeply seasoned loan, refinancing might mean that you owe a significant amount in interest. Check your credit scoreYour credit score will help determine how favorable of an interest rate you'll be able to lock down. Decide how to use your savingsDon't let the money you're saving by refinancing go toward lifestyle inflation.
