A bullet that struck two women at a Chicago White Sox game on Friday evening may have landed inside the ballpark after being fired about a mile away. That’s the current line of thinking among Chicago cops tasked with investigating the incident, which unfolded a little before 7:30 p.m. as the Sox were blistered by the Oakland Athletics. “What started out as a teacher celebration of the first week of school escalated quickly,” a woman seated near injured fans wrote in a now-deleted Facebook post. The victims, a 42-year-old woman and a 26-year-old woman, were struck as they sat in...

Shocking video shows three teens harassing an Asian family of tourists aboard a New York City subway train before attacking one visitor and a Good Samaritan who was trying to film the encounter. Now, the NYPD is seeking the identities of the suspects - who were all black - in an assault being investigated as a hate crime. Sue Young, 51, and her family, were visiting the Big Apple from Nevada, when they were approached by three teens who were laughing and pointing at them on Thursday night around 8pm while they were riding the F train at the West...

Cops are trying to identify the baby-faced teens caught on wild video trashing an NYPD car in Union Square on Friday when Twitch star Kai Cenat’s unlicensed PS5 giveaway erupted in rioting — a melee City Hall blamed partly on “outside agitators.” Police on Sunday released photos of six of the eight troublemakers estimated at between 14 and 18 years old who kicked, jumped on and danced atop a parked department car during the violent mayhem, which left at least seven people injured, authorities said.

Cops are trying to identify the unruly baby-faced teens who trashed an NYPD car in Union Square on Friday when Twitch streamer Kai Cenat’s PS5 giveaway erupted in rioting — a melee that City Hall partly blamed on “outside agitators.” Police on Sunday released photos of six of the eight troublemakers estimated at between 14 and 18 years old who kicked and jumped on a patrol car during the violent mayhem, which left at least seven people injured, authorities said. The riot also led to 66 arrests after the mega-social-media influencer’s unsanctioned giveaway sparked the chaos and ended with him...

PLEASANTON, Calif. (KRON) – Two people were jailed Wednesday morning and accused of murder, robbery, child endangerment and conspiracy after allegedly shooting and killing an employee at a Home Depot in Pleasanton, California. Police were called to the Home Depot on the eastern edge of the San Francisco Bay Area at about 2:15 p.m. Tuesday. They found one victim bleeding inside the store. Police said suspect Benicia Knapps was trying to steal an electrical item from the store and was confronted by store employees. Police said Knapps then pulled out a handgun and shot and killed a member of the...

My general position on last week's Tennessee flap was that the expulsions may have been a bit heavy-handed, despite clear cause for disciplinary action. Ejecting elected representatives from a legislative body is a very serious step, and should generally be avoided to the greatest extent possible. Instead, perhaps some combination of formal censures, stripping of committee assignments, and an official final warnings against future misconduct (more instances of which would result in a zero tolerance response) may have been the better path. Plus, it would've denied these loud showboats the tribal martyrdom and accompanying prominence they clearly crave and relish....

We don’t acknowledge that we promulgate bills of attainder in this country, but that is essentially the judgment that has been pronounced against the former president. The funniest thing I have read in, well, at least the last several hours, comes from Manhattan’s George Soros-funded affirmative-action district attorney, Alvin Bragg. Responding to the uproar that greeted Donald Trump’s all-caps Truth Social warning that he would be “arrested” on Tuesday, Bragg sent ’round a memo to his staff informing them, and the world, that “This office is full of the finest public servants in the country.” The comedy didn’t end there,...
