Driver killed by police after driving truck through Texas mall, injuring 5
SUMMARY: A driver was shot and killed by law enforcement after crashing a pickup truck into a Killeen mall on Saturday, injuring five people. Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) officers attempted to stop the truck, suspected to be driven by an intoxicated person, but the driver fled, eventually driving through a JCPenney store, striking shoppers aged 6 to 75. Officers pursued on foot and engaged the driver in gunfire. Amid confusion, social media misinformation mistakenly reported an active shooter; officials later confirmed there was none. Witnesses described the chaotic scene as people scrambled for safety during the pre-Christmas rush.

Eric DeValkenaere’s sentence commuted in Cameron Lamb killing
SUMMARY: Missouri Governor Mike Parson commuted the prison sentence of former Kansas City police detective Eric DeValkenaere, who was convicted in 2021 for the 2019 shooting death of Cameron Lamb. DeValkenaere was sentenced to six years in prison but had been serving time since October 2023. Lamb was unarmed when shot. DeValkenaere’s family submitted a clemency request, and Governor-elect Mike Kehoe supported his release. The Lamb family expressed outrage over the decision. While the commutation reduces DeValkenaere’s sentence, it does not forgive his conviction. The situation remains controversial, with mixed reactions from officials and the public.
