SUMMARY: Newly released police text messages indicate that officers had knowledge of Thomas Crooks at least 105 minutes before he shot at former President Donald Trump. This timeline reveals that at 4:27 p.m., a counter sniper informed colleagues that Crooks was aware of their presence. By 5:38 p.m., another officer shared a photo of Crooks, noting he was using a rangefinder aimed at the stage. Crooks had a clear shot when he fired, suggesting he understood the security measures in place. Additionally, there were communication failures, as the Secret Service was absent from a morning security briefing in Beaver County, Pennsylvania.

SUMMARY: Luigi Mangione, accused of killing United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Midtown Manhattan, arrived in New York to face multiple charges, including murder, stalking, and terrorism. Federal prosecutors have added charges, citing the crime’s intent to instill fear and influence government. Mangione’s defense argues these federal charges raise constitutional concerns. The shooting, which sparked anger toward the healthcare system, has led to some public support for Mangione, while New York Mayor Eric Adams condemns the violence. Mangione, arrested in Pennsylvania, now faces potential federal death penalty charges, though prosecutors have not confirmed whether they will pursue them.

SUMMARY: An 18-year-old pregnant woman was shot multiple times by her ex-boyfriend, Erick Luna-Chavez, on MacArthur Drive in Fort Smith. She is 32 weeks pregnant and both she and the baby are expected to survive. Luna-Chavez, arrested and facing felony charges, reportedly broke into the woman’s home before the shooting. Domestic violence against pregnant women is a growing concern, with recent studies showing alarming statistics. Local shelters, including the Crisis Intervention Center in Fort Smith, provide vital support to victims, though availability is limited. The prosecutor explains Luna-Chavez isn’t charged with attempted murder due to parole considerations.
