Charged with four counts of capital murder and ten counts of attempted capital murder, Posy is being held without bond. Victim Silas Compton, a survivor of the shooting, expressed his hope for justice and reflected on his recovery. The judge emphasized the importance of setting a trial date to prevent potential release due to legal time limits, with a next hearing set for January 15.

The man accused of killing four people and injuring many others during a mass shooting at the Mad Butcher in Fordyce appeared in court for the first time on Friday.

SUMMARY: Former President Donald Trump is campaigning in Aurora, Colorado, emphasizing migrant crime and announcing a crackdown on Venezuelan gangs if elected. He claims the city is plagued by criminal activity tied to the brutal Tren de Aragua gang, despite the Republican mayor, Mike Kaufman, stating that such crime is limited. Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris is in Phoenix, Arizona, working to strengthen her appeal with Hispanic voters. She has a higher favorability rating among them than Trump, though she struggles with Hispanic men, a demographic leaning towards Trump. Harris’s campaign has launched a voter outreach group targeting Latino men.

Race and immigration were the focus of the two major campaigns on Friday as the race for the White House continues.

Atwoods stresses the importance of monitoring social media usage, addressing red flags, and having open conversations with children to build trust. She encourages parents to reinforce unconditional support and suggests setting kids’ social media accounts to private as an additional safeguard.
