US News | Florida sniper shoots, kills bank robber holding hostages through computer monitor: Video

Video released by a Florida sheriff’s office shows the moment a sniper shot through a computer monitor and killed a suspected armed bank robber who was holding hostages. It all unfolded Feb. 6 at a Fort Myers Bank of America, said Sheriff Carmine Marceno of the Lee County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO). Responding deputies discovered the suspect had a knife and claimed he had a bomb while detaining a man and a woman. “We tried to negotiate with him continuously,” Marceno said in a previous press conference, adding that at one point, the suspect held a knife to the female hostage’s throat. It was after the suspect “presented deadly force” that an LCSO Special Operations Unit sniper fired a “planned and deliberate shot through a computer monitor,” striking the suspect in the center of the forehead and killing him instantly.    FLORIDA BEACH VACATION HOTSPOT CLOSED AFTER BACK-TO-BACK SHARK ATTACKS The suspect, identified by local WFTX-TV as ...

US News | Porch pirate steals package in front of FedEx delivery driver in Ohio, video shows

A brazen porch pirate in Ohio was recently caught on home surveillance video stealing a package right in front of a FedEx delivery driver, who had set the box down on a doorstep just seconds earlier. The theft unfolded right outside the home of Kyle Dorsch in northwest Columbus on June 3. Dorsch shared video of the incident on social media in the hopes of catching the thief. “While we are home in the middle of the day – they didn’t wait for the delivery driver to leave the porch, they swooped in real quick and went off,” Dorsch told WSYX-TV. Dorsch’s doorbell camera captured the moment a FedEx delivery drive set a small package on the porch and knocked on the door. Just as the delivery driver knocked, an unknown individual wearing a hoodie ran onto the porch, startling the driver, and grabbed the package.

US News | Dozens of Pro-Palestinian protesters called for ceasefire outside NBA Finals Game 2 in Boston

Dozens of pro-Palestinian demonstrators were outside TD Garden in Boston on Sunday calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, as thousands of fans made their way into the area for game two of the NBA Finals. Roughly 50 protesters told Boston 25 News they were aiming to raise awareness about the ongoing war in the Middle East between Hamas terrorists and Israeli forces that began after Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, leading to military retaliation from Israeli forces. “We need to end this genocide,” protest organizer Aneeqa Abid told the outlet. “We’re here calling for an immediate ceasefire and an end to the military occupation of Palestine.” The protest happened ahead of the second game of the NBA Finals, in which the Boston Celtics defeated the Dallas Mavericks 105-98 to take a 2-0 lead in the best of seven series.

US News | Judge orders University of California workers to end strike protesting response to anti-Israel protests

A California judge ordered University of California academic workers to end their strike after they have been walking picket lines at several campuses in protest of the university system’s response to anti-Israel demonstrations on campuses. Orange County Superior Court Judge Randall Sherman handed the ruling down on Friday, according to CNS. The university system filed suit earlier last week aiming to end the strikes by the workers’ union, United Auto Workers Local 4811, after two unsuccessful attempts to obtain an injunction against the union from the state Public Employment Relations Board. “We are extremely grateful for a pause in this strike, so our students can complete their academic studies,” UC associate vice president for Systemwide Labor Relations Melissa Matella said in a statement after Friday’s ruling. “The strike would have caused irreversible setbacks to students’ academic achievements and may have stalled critical research proje...

US News | OJ Simpson trial 30 years after killings: Where are key players now?

The decision to televise O.J. Simpson’s infamous 1995 trial for the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman rocketed the “Dream Team,” his group of star-studded defense attorneys, into household names that continued to represent high-profile clients.  Thirty years after Brown and Goldman’s deaths on June 12, 1994, here is where Simpson’s team and key legal figures in the case are today. Johnnie L. Cochran Jr., who took over as the head of Simpson’s defense team, famously told jurors “If it doesn’t fit, you must acquit,” suggesting that the bloody gloves that were found at the crime scene were too small to fit the former football star.  “I’ve got to say I don’t think I’d be home today without Johnnie,” Simpson said after his criminal trial, according to The Seattle Times. “I was innocent, but he believed it.” Cochran would expand his law firm into 15 states, frequently appeared on television after the...

US News | Kansas high school ‘assassin’ game ends with girl’s father allegedly shooting, paralyzing teen

A group of Kansas high schoolers’ “senior assassin” prank involving gel bead guns erupted into chaos last month when it ended in a teenager being shot with a real gun and paralyzed from the waist down, a recently filed affidavit shows. Sedgwick Sheriff’s Office deputies initially responded to a shooting outside a Goddard Walmart just before 5 p.m. May 11 and found 18-year-old Anakin Zehring suffering from a gunshot wound to his back, which hit his liver, kidney and spinal cord, paralyzing him, according to police and a GoFundMe organized by Zehring’s parents. “On May 11th, our lives changed forever when my son was involved in the tragic incident at the Goddard Walmart shooting,” his parents wrote on the GoFundMe page. “He sustained severe injuries, including a bullet wound that punctured his duodenum (upper part of the small intestine) and damaged his spinal cord, causing loss of sensation from the waist down. Despite undergoing four sur...
