Teenager, 15, Faces Murder and Terrorism Charges in Connection with Oxford High School Shooting

Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald has announced charges in connection with the tragic events at Oxford High School on Tuesday.

Fifteen-year-old Ethan Crumbley is facing severe charges, including one count of terrorism causing death, four counts of first-degree murder, seven counts of assault with intent to murder, and 12 counts of possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony. McDonald emphasized that the investigation is ongoing, and additional charges may be brought based on the evolving findings.

15-Year-Old School Shooting Suspect Charged as an Adult with Terrorism First-Degree Murder

Crumbley is being charged as an adult, and during his arraignment on Wednesday, he stood mute, with a not-guilty plea entered on his behalf. Bond was denied, and he was ordered to be transferred from Children's Village to the Oakland County Jail. If convicted on all charges, Crumbley could face life in prison.

McDonald revealed that evidence suggests this was not an impulsive act, leading to the inclusion of a terrorism charge in connection with the school shooting. The prosecutor also mentioned that charges against both parents are under consideration.

The tragic incident claimed the lives of Tate Myre, 16, Hana St. Juliana, 14, and Madisyn Baldwin, 17, with 17-year-old Justin Shilling succumbing to his injuries on Wednesday afternoon. The shooter, a 15-year-old sophomore, reportedly used a 9mm pistol during the attack in the south end of the school.

Students recounted hearing an ALICE warning over the intercom following the initial gunshots. ALICE, an acronym for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, and Evacuate, is a training program designed for schools. Law enforcement responded swiftly to the incident, with the suspected shooter apprehended while still possessing seven rounds of ammunition. Over 30 shell casings were later recovered by the police.

Seven other victims sustained injuries, with varying conditions. Notably, a 14-year-old female is in critical condition with gunshot wounds to the chest and neck, undergoing surgery, and is currently on a ventilator. Another 17-year-old female is also in critical condition. Other victims range from serious to stable conditions.

The Oxford Community Schools District released a statement expressing profound grief over the loss of lives and injuries. The district emphasized the priority of student and staff safety and participation in the ongoing investigation. The focus remains on providing care and support to the affected individuals, while the district urges respect for the privacy of grieving families.

 5 dead in Sacramento church shooting after man kills his children, then takes own life

Tragedy struck on Monday night in Sacramento as a man opened fire at a local church, resulting in the deaths of five individuals, including his three daughters, before taking his own life, according to authorities.

Sgt. Rod Grassmann, a spokesperson for the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office, revealed that a fifth person was among the casualties. The three daughters, aged 9, 10, and 13, all lost their lives at the scene of the shooting.

The incident occurred around 5:00 p.m. at The Church in Sacramento, located in the Arden-Arcade neighborhood. The main sanctuary of the church became the unfortunate backdrop for the tragic events. A church worker, who was upstairs at the time, alerted the police upon hearing gunshots.

Describing the incident as a "domestic violence incident," Grassmann disclosed that the assailant was estranged from the children's mother, who had a restraining order against him. Notably, individuals with active restraining orders are prohibited from owning firearms.

Sheriff Scott Jones indicated that the shooting likely transpired during a supervised visit with the children, with an adult serving as the chaperone and becoming the fourth victim. Grassmann emphasized the need for an extensive investigation, acknowledging the considerable amount of physical evidence that would need to be collected.

Other individuals were present in the church building at the time of the shooting, though it remains unclear whether a service or another event was taking place.

Expressing condolences, California Gov. Gavin Newsom released a statement on Monday night, condemning the senseless act of gun violence. "Another senseless act of gun violence in America - this time in our backyard. In a church with kids inside. Absolutely devastating. Our hearts go out to the victims, their families, and their communities," Newsom's tweet read.

 Chinese Video Industry Exploiting Black Children

The latest documentary from BBC African Eye, titled "Racism for Sale: The Chinese Video-Makers Exploiting African Children," exposes an insidious practice. Although it may not generate the same level of uproar as "Sweet Sweet Codeine" or "Sex for Grades," the investigation reveals that thousands of videos exploiting African children are circulating on social media platforms, earning the video-makers significant profits. The documentary begins by examining a shocking video that circulated on Chinese social media in February 2020, showing a group of African children chanting phrases in Chinese that translate to "I am a black monster and my IQ is low. " 

The video sparked outrage, but it also raised questions about its origins. BBC AfricaEye and BBC EyeInvestigations reporters tracked down "Uncle Susu," the person responsible for filming the video, to a remote Malawian village. Despite the evidence against him, Uncle Susu denies making the video. The documentary ends with the BBC team driving away, leaving Uncle Susu behind with the exploited children and their families. The investigation highlights a vast and exploitative industry that spans Africa.

Gunman sets fire to homes and opens fire on fleeing victims

According to authorities, a gunman ignited a series of fires in Houston homes during the early hours of Sunday morning and then proceeded to shoot at victims as they attempted to flee from the flames. The attack was carried out in ambush-style, resulting in the deaths of three individuals, before the perpetrator was killed by police.

The incident occurred at approximately 1 am on Dunlap Street in the southwest region of Houston, catching residents off-guard as they slept soundly in their homes. Houston Police have reported that the suspect, a Black male in his 40s who was allegedly evicted from the building, set fire to multiple residences to draw victims outside.

The assailant then hid in the darkness, dressed entirely in black attire and armed with a shotgun. As frightened residents escaped the burning buildings, the shooter took aim and opened fire on them.

Tucker Carlson talks about Bobby Crimo

During his Tuesday show, Tucker Carlson insinuated that women who lecture men about male privilege may contribute to mass shootings in the United States. Carlson's comments came after the recent mass shooting at a July 4th parade in Highland Park, Illinois, where seven people were killed, and over two dozen people were injured. The primary suspect, Robert E. Crimo III, was charged with seven counts of first-degree murder.

Carlson claimed that poor mental health is a significant factor in mass shootings and stated that there are many people like Crimo in America. Carlson pointed out that Crimo did not seem like a stable person, yet no one raised the alarm. Carlson suggested that this is because there are many young men in America who look and act like Crimo, living in a solitary fantasy world of social media, porn, and video games.

He then claimed that these men may be angry because they believe their lives will be worse than their parents', and that they are high on drugs. Carlson asserted that these men are prescribed psychotropic drugs, such as SSRIs or antidepressants, and that a shockingly large number of them have been prescribed these drugs by their doctors.

Carlson questioned why the authorities did not act on the red flags they had seen from Crimo before his alleged actions in the July 4 attack. He highlighted two instances where police encountered Crimo before the shooting, where he attempted to die by suicide and had a large collection of knives confiscated.

In conclusion, Tucker Carlson suggested that women lecturing men about male privilege and poor mental health are significant factors that contribute to mass shootings in the United States. He also questioned why the authorities did not act more on the red flags they had seen from Crimo.

Buffalo Mass Shooter Points a Gun at White Man, Realizes He's White, then says "Sorry"

A supermarket manager was left in shock when the "white supremacist" gunman, Payton Gendron, lowered his weapon and apologized instead of opening fire, after realizing that the manager was also white. Christopher Braden, a father of two, rushed to the front of the Tops Friendly grocery store in Buffalo when Gendron started shooting at black shoppers, killing ten of them. Braden was hit in the leg and attempted to hide between two registers, but Gendron approached him, took aim with his semi-automatic rifle, and prepared to fire. Braden's close friend and neighbor recounted the terrifying moment when Braden stared death in the face, and he is currently recovering in the hospital from his injuries.

Footage from Gendron's live-streaming camera captured Braden's piercing scream of "no" as he covered his face, preparing to die. However, to everyone's surprise, the gunman casually said "sorry" and backed away. The incident is being investigated as a federal hate crime, and the FBI is involved in the investigation.
