					A Deerfield Township man accused of sexually assaulting children had his bond set at $300,000 Thursday.John "Ben" Reynolds, 53, is charged with one count of rape and one count of gross sexual imposition. Detectives with the Warren County Sheriff's Office said they've identified three victims who were known to Reynolds.According to court documents obtained by WLWT, the children are currently between 13 and 14 years old. Two are girls and one is a boy. Documents state the sexual assaults started in 2016 and took place at multiple locations including Liberty Center, the KOA campground in Lebanon, a local YMCA and Reynolds' home.The children told social workers who interviewed them that Reynolds would buy them items such as jewelry, clothes, stuffed animals, toys and candy, according to court documents.The investigation into the assaults began after the mother of a child reported Reynolds to Butler County Children Services in April.During Reynolds' arraignment Thursday, his attorney, Edward Perry, said his client was a family man."He is married, judge. He's been married for 29 years, and he's got three grown children," Perry said.  Perry said his client moved to Warren County after graduating from Southern Illinois University in 1992."He came to Warren County and made Warren County his home, and he's been here ever since. He was married here. He purchased and bought a home in Mason, Ohio. Him, his wife and his family have been in that house in Mason for the last 22 years," Perry said.Perry said Reynolds has been employed as a software developer, most recently by the Cincinnati Financial Corporation."He suspects that, because of his arrest, that job is no longer available to him," Perry said.  Detectives said Reynolds was involved with a Boy Scout troop out of Mason, but they say the children are not associated with the scouts.Reynolds is scheduled to be back in Lebanon Municipal Court on June 2 for a preliminary hearing.

<p>BUFFALO, N.Y. — A 911 dispatcher has been fired for their handling of a 911 call from a person inside Tops during the <a class="Link" href="https://www.wkbw.com/news/local-news/buffalo-mass-shooting">mass shooting on May 14</a>, according to an Erie County spokesperson.</p>
<p>Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz said on May 18 that the <a class="Link" href="https://www.wkbw.com/news/local-news/buffalo-mass-shooting/poloncarz-911-dispatcher-who-acted-totally-inappropriately-placed-on-administrative-leave">dispatcher acted "totally inappropriate"</a> when taking the 911 call and was placed on administrative leave pending a hearing. The dispatcher allegedly asked why the individual was whispering and Poloncarz said one of the parties hung up and ended the phone call. The hearing took place Thursday and the dispatcher has been fired.</p>
<p>An Erie County spokesperson released the following statement:</p>
<div class="Quote">
<blockquote><p>“According to the Erie County Department of Personnel, the individual who was the subject of a disciplinary hearing earlier today is no longer employed as a police complaint writer for Erie County effective as of noon today.”</p></blockquote>
</div>
<p>The firing of this dispatcher is in addition to another incident involving a different call taker who was <a class="Link" href="https://www.wkbw.com/news/local-news/complaint-about-the-handling-of-911-call-on-sunday-leads-to-firing-of-call-taker">fired for their actions during a 911 call on Sunday, May 22</a>.</p>

					 The House Jan. 6 committee is back in prime time for its eighth hearing — potentially the final time this summer that lawmakers will lay out evidence about the U.S. Capitol insurrection and President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn his 2020 election defeat.Warning: The above video is live and may be graphic in nature. Viewer discretion is advised.Thursday's hearing focuses on what Trump was doing in the White House as the violence unfolded on Jan. 6, 2021. Rep. begun Kinzinger, an Illinois Republican who is one of two members leading the hearing, said he expects it will "open people's eyes in a big way."Check for live, time-stamped updates from the hearing below:10:10 p.m. ETAn unnamed White House employee disclosed former President Donald Trump's final words to them on Jan. 6, 2021, before Trump retired to his residence for the night.According to the employee, Trump's last comment was “Mike Pence let me down,” before going to his room.“President Trump said nothing to the employee about the attack. He said only, ‘Mike Pence let me down,” Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., a select committee member, said during the hearing.9:50 p.m. ETFormer President Donald Trump's well-known video calling for rioters to "go home," and leave the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, was unscripted, according to witnesses.Trump's former personal assistant Nicholas Luna said in a video testimony shown during Thursday's hearing that Trump disregarded a written statement that was provided to him, opting to go "off the cuff."Going off the cuff, however, led to Trump using certain phrases in the video that did not sit well with many administration members, including former Trump deputy press secretary Sara Matthews, who is testifying before the committee Thursday night."I was struck by the fact that he chose to begin the video by pushing the lie that there was a stolen election. And as the video went on, I felt a small sense of relief because he finally told these people to go home, but that was immediately followed up by him saying, 'We love you. You're very special.' And that was disturbing to me because he didn't distinguish between those that peacefully attended his speech earlier that day and those that we watched cause violence at the Capitol," Matthews said. Matthews said that following the video's release, she decided she had to resign because she could not defend the president's message. Video below: Matthews testified that Ivanka Trump offered to include 'stay peaceful' in message to rioters 9:40 p.m. ETThe Jan. 6 House select committee showcased a series of text messages from Donald Trump Jr., the former president's son, and Fox News personality Sean Hannity urging former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows to convince former President Donald Trump to call for an end to the violence at the Capitol."He's got to condemn this (expletive). Asap. The capitol police tweet is not enough," Trump Jr. told Meadows via text on Jan. 6, 2021. "This his (sic) one you go to the mattresses on. They will try to (expletive) his entire legacy on this if it gets worse."Hannity struck a similar tone in his text exchange as well, "Can he make a statement. I saw the tweet. Ask people to peacefully leave the capital (sic)."9:25 p.m. ETThe Jan. 6 House select committee's prime-time hearing has returned from recess.9:10 p.m. ETThe hearing has gone into recess. It is expected to resume in 10 minutes.9:00 p.m. ETWhile former President Donald Trump sat in the White House's private dining room during the Capitol riot, he made two calls of which the select committee is aware.At 1:39 p.m. ET and 2:03 p.m. ET, Trump spoke to Rudy Giuliani, according to Giuliani’s call logs obtained by the committee. It is not known what the two discussed.Additionally, former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany testified in a closed-door interview that Trump also sought to contact a list of senators.  “He wanted a list of the senators, and I left him at that point,” McEnany said in a video deposition, which played during Thursday's hearing.8:55 p.m. ETAn unidentified national security official told the select committee that former Vice President Mike Pence's security was so concerned for their safety inside the Capitol as the rioters stormed the building that they "were starting to fear for their own lives."The witness said that it appeared the agents were realizing they were running out of options and may have considered using lethal force, adding that "there were calls to say goodbye to family members."Video below: Members of VP's security detail feared for their lives as rioters entered the capitol, official says8:50 p.m. ETAccording to several witnesses, former President Donald Trump did not place a single call to any of his law enforcement or national security officials as the U.S. Capitol attack was unfolding."We have confirmed in numerous interviews with senior law enforcement and military leaders, Vice President Pence's staff and D.C. government officials — none of them, not one, heard from President Trump that day. He did not call to issue orders. He did not call to offer assistance," Rep. Elaine Luria, D-Va., a member of the select committee, said.Among those who testified to this include White House counsel Pat Cipollone, Trump’s body man Nick Luna, Keith Kellogg, Pence’s national security adviser who was also with Trump that day, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Mark Milley.Video below: Trump WH counsel Cipollone meets with Jan. 6 panel8:35 p.m. ETA national security official who was working in the White House on Jan. 6, 2021, told the select committee that the Trump administration “was aware of multiple reports of weapons in the crowd that morning.”The identity of the official was not released for their protection, the committee said.“To be completely honest, we were all in a state of shock,” the official said. “We all knew what that implicated and what that meant, that this was no longer a rally, that this was going to move to something else if he physically walked to the Capitol. I don’t know if you want to use the word — insurrection, coup, whatever — we all knew that this would move from a normal democratic, you know, public event into something else.”Rep. Elaine Luria, D-Va., a member of the committee, added that the former president was made aware of the violence at the Capitol no later than 15 minutes after Trump had left the stage from his speech.According to Luria, Trump spent most of the afternoon on Jan. 6, 2021, in the White House's presidential dining room. Though, the select committee has yet to uncover photographic evidence because the chief White House photographer told the House panel that she was specifically told, "no photographs" during those hours after she expressed an interest in documenting the historic events unfolding that day. "From 1:25 until after 4:00, the president stayed in his dining room," Luria said, noting that he was watching Fox News on a television located in the room nearly the entire time, according to witness testimony. 8:20 p.m. ETRep. Liz Cheney, R-Wy., the vice chair of the select committee, is introducing and swearing in the two witnesses for tonight's prime-time hearing;  former Trump deputy national security adviser Matthew Pottinger and former Trump deputy press secretary Sarah Matthews. 8:15 p.m. ETRep. Liz Cheney, R-Wy., the vice chair of the select committee, reiterates tonight that the panel has uncovered a plethora of new evidence during the course of the public hearings."In the course of these hearings, we have received new evidence, and new witnesses have bravely stepped forward. Efforts to litigate and overcome immunity and executive privilege claims have been successful and those continue. Doors have opened, new subpoenas have been issued, and the dam has begun to break," Cheney said.8:10 p.m. ETDuring his opening statement, Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., the select committee's chairman, said the panel will take August to gather more evidence and conduct more interviews, and they will return in September to hold more public hearings.Video below: Rep. Bennie Thompson: Donald Trump 'could not be moved'"Our investigation goes forward. We continue to receive new information every day. We continue to hear from witnesses. We will reconvene in September to continue laying out our findings to the American people," he said.Thompson is leading tonight's hearing remotely after testing positive for COVID-19 earlier in the week. Thompson said he is fully vaccinated and experiencing mild symptoms.8:00 p.m. ETThe Jan. 6 House panel has begun its prime-time hearing.7:55 p.m. ETThe Jan. 6 House select committee's eighth and final scheduled hearing is expected to begin in five minutes.Tonight's prime-time event will dive deep into former President Donald Trump's movements and actions as the violence unfolded at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

</div>
<p>Going off the cuff, however, led to Trump using certain phrases in the video that did not sit well with many administration members, including former Trump deputy press secretary Sara Matthews, who is testifying before the committee Thursday night.</p>
<p>"I was struck by the fact that he chose to begin the video by pushing the lie that there was a stolen election. And as the video went on, I felt a small sense of relief because he finally told these people to go home, but that was immediately followed up by him saying, 'We love you. You're very special.' And that was disturbing to me because he didn't distinguish between those that peacefully attended his speech earlier that day and those that we watched cause violence at the Capitol," Matthews said. </p>
<p>Matthews said that following the video's release, she decided she had to resign because she could not defend the president's message. <em><strong><br /></strong></em></p>

<p>The Jan. 6 House select committee showcased a series of text messages from Donald Trump Jr., the former president's son, and Fox News personality Sean Hannity urging former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows to convince former President Donald Trump to call for an end to the violence at the Capitol.</p>
<p>"He's got to condemn this (expletive). Asap. The capitol police tweet is not enough," Trump Jr. told Meadows via text on Jan. 6, 2021. "This his (sic) one you go to the mattresses on. They will try to (expletive) his entire legacy on this if it gets worse."</p>
<p>Hannity struck a similar tone in his text exchange as well, "Can he make a statement. I saw the tweet. Ask people to peacefully leave the capital (sic)."</p>

</div>
<p><em><strong>9:25 p.m. ET</strong></em></p>
<p>The Jan. 6 House select committee's prime-time hearing has returned from recess.</p>
<p><em><strong>9:10 p.m. ET</strong></em></p>
<p>The hearing has gone into recess. It is expected to resume in 10 minutes.</p>
<p><em><strong>9:00 p.m. ET</strong></em></p>
<p>While former President Donald Trump sat in the White House's private dining room during the Capitol riot, he made two calls of which the select committee is aware.</p>
<p>At 1:39 p.m. ET and 2:03 p.m. ET, Trump spoke to Rudy Giuliani, according to Giuliani’s call logs obtained by the committee. It is not known what the two discussed.</p>
<p>Additionally, former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany testified in a closed-door interview that Trump also sought to contact a list of senators.  </p>
<p>“He wanted a list of the senators, and I left him at that point,” McEnany said in a video deposition, which played during Thursday's hearing.</p>
<p><em><strong>8:55 p.m. ET</strong></em></p>
<p>An unidentified national security official told the select committee that former Vice President Mike Pence's security was so concerned for their safety inside the Capitol as the rioters stormed the building that they "were starting to fear for their own lives."</p>
<p>The witness said that it appeared the agents were realizing they were running out of options and may have considered using lethal force, adding that "there were calls to say goodbye to family members."</p>
<p><em><strong>Video below: Members of VP's security detail feared for their lives as rioters entered the capitol, official says</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>8:50 p.m. ET</strong></em><strong/></p>
<p>According to several witnesses, former President Donald Trump <em><strong/></em>did not place a single call to any of his law enforcement or national security officials as the U.S. Capitol attack was unfolding.</p>
<p>"We have confirmed in numerous interviews with senior law enforcement and military leaders, Vice President Pence's staff and D.C. government officials — none of them, not one, heard from President Trump that day. He did not call to issue orders. He did not call to offer assistance," Rep. Elaine Luria, D-Va., a member of the select committee, said.</p>
<p>Among those who testified to this include White House counsel Pat Cipollone, Trump’s body man Nick Luna, Keith Kellogg, Pence’s national security adviser who was also with Trump that day, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Mark Milley.<em><strong><br /></strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>Video below: Trump WH counsel Cipollone meets with Jan. 6 panel</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>8:35 p.m. ET</strong></em></p>
<p>A national security official who was working in the White House on Jan. 6, 2021, told the select committee that the Trump administration “was aware of multiple reports of weapons in the crowd that morning.”</p>
<p>The identity of the official was not released for their protection, the committee said.</p>
<p>“To be completely honest, we were all in a state of shock,” the official said. “We all knew what that implicated and what that meant, that this was no longer a rally, that this was going to move to something else if he physically walked to the Capitol. I don’t know if you want to use the word — insurrection, coup, whatever — we all knew that this would move from a normal democratic, you know, public event into something else.”</p>

Elaine Luria, D-Va., speak during a practice session for the upcoming hearing by the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, July 19, 2022, in Washington, D.C.</figcaption></div>
</div>
<p>Rep. Elaine Luria, D-Va., a member of the committee, added that the former president was made aware of the violence at the Capitol no later than 15 minutes after Trump had left the stage from his speech.</p>
<p>According to Luria, Trump spent most of the afternoon on Jan. 6, 2021, in the White House's presidential dining room. Though, the select committee has yet to uncover photographic evidence because the chief White House photographer told the House panel that she was specifically told, "no photographs" during those hours after she expressed an interest in documenting the historic events unfolding that day. </p>
<p>"From 1:25 until after 4:00, the president stayed in his dining room," Luria said, noting that he was watching Fox News on a television located in the room nearly the entire time, according to witness testimony. </p>

<p>Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wy., the vice chair of the select committee, is introducing and swearing in the two witnesses for tonight's prime-time hearing;  former Trump deputy national security adviser Matthew Pottinger and former Trump deputy press secretary Sarah Matthews.</p>

<p>Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wy., the vice chair of the select committee, reiterates tonight that the panel has uncovered a plethora of new evidence during the course of the public hearings.</p>
<p>"In the course of these hearings, we have received new evidence, and new witnesses have bravely stepped forward. Efforts to litigate and overcome immunity and executive privilege claims have been successful and those continue. Doors have opened, new subpoenas have been issued, and the dam has begun to break," Cheney said.</p>

					The anguish being felt in Manati, Puerto Rico, is resonating with people in Middletown, Ohio, where Nitza Valderrama lived and worked."When I saw the news, I started to cry, and I just don't believe it," said Zairelishka Huertas.  The 11-year-old said Valderrama was like an aunt to her. She said she was beautiful and kind."We were just so close, and I never knew anything like this could happen. I just thought she was going to come back because I've been waiting for her," Zairelishka said.  Valderrama was killed on Friday while visiting family in Puerto Rico.Her ex-partner, Amnerie Manzano Diaz, was arrested and charged with murder.  Investigators in Puerto Rico said Diaz showed up at a police department with Valderrama's body in her car and admitted to shooting her."I'm very teary inside my heart right now. I'm not going to see this wonderful person again," said Lewis Booker, Valderrama's neighbor.  Neighbors and close friends are heartbroken.They said Valderrama was a Christian who was active in her church.They said she was also a thrill seeker who went skydiving in April and was already looking forward to jumping again.Above all, friends said she loved children and was very excited to land a job as a bilingual specialist at Rosa Parks Elementary School in Middletown."She worked really hard, and she had everything. She was going to live the American dream, and it was taken way too soon from her," said Mary Moore, a friend of Valderrama's.Tuesday afternoon, loved ones gathered outside Valderrama's home. They honored her life with a balloon release. There were also whispers of "Happy birthday in heaven," as Tuesday would have been her 32nd birthday.

<p>
					File video above: Rudy Guiliani's son slams Fed raid on NYC homeFormer New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani will not face criminal charges over his interactions with Ukrainian figures in the runup to the 2020 presidential election, federal prosecutors revealed in a letter to a judge Monday.Prosecutors with the U.S. attorney's office in Manhattan said they made the decision after reviewing electronic evidence gathered in raids on Giuliani's home and law office in April 2021.Federal prosecutors had examined whether Giuliani should have registered as a foreign agent because of his dealings with Ukrainians who wanted his help pressuring then-President Donald Trump’s administration, while he was looking for their help launching an investigation that might hurt Democratic rival Joe Biden.“Based on information currently available to the Government, criminal charges are not forthcoming," they wrote. They said the grand jury probe that led to the seizure of Giuliani’s electronic devices had concluded.Giuliani tweeted Monday that it was a "COMPLETE &amp; TOTAL VINDICATION.”“In my business, we would call that total victory,” his lawyer, Robert Costello, told The Associated Press. “We appreciate what the U.S. attorney's (office) has done. We only wish they had done it a lot sooner.”Sixteen of Giuliani’s devices were seized as part of a federal investigation into whether the bellicose Republican ally of Trump violated a law governing lobbying on behalf of foreign countries or entities.The spectacle of agents carting off computers and cellphones during the searches in Manhattan appeared to signal that the former New York City mayor — once celebrated for his leadership after 9/11 — was in a legal bind that would be hard to escape.Nicholas Biase, a spokesperson for federal prosecutors, declined to comment on the court filing.Giuliani, 78, has been under federal scrutiny for several years over his work in Ukraine. He was central to Trump’s efforts to dig up dirt against Biden and to press Ukraine for an investigation into Biden and his son, Hunter.Giuliani sought to undermine Marie Yovanovitch, former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, who was pushed out on Trump’s orders. He also met several times with a Ukrainian lawmaker who released edited recordings of Biden in an effort to smear him before the election.The strategy may have backfired: The U.S. House later impeached Trump for holding back nearly $400 million in aid to Ukraine while he pressured that country's president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, to open an investigation of Democrats.Giuliani, a one-time presidential candidate, vehemently denied any wrongdoing. At the time of the raids, he accused the Justice Department of “running roughshod over the constitutional rights of anyone involved in, or legally defending, former President Donald J. Trump.”In the past several months, news of any further progress on the review or any other aspect of the case largely evaporated. Prosecutors in New York went silent, a signal they were unlikely to add Giuliani to the long list of Trump associates charged with a federal crime.During the investigation, a former federal judge was appointed to review whether any of the information seized from Giuliani's phones and computers was protected by attorney-client privilege because of his role as one of Trump’s lawyers.His communications with clients are generally protected by law, though there are exceptions.The letter Monday was prompted in part by the need for prosecutors to tell a judge that the court-appointed monitor was no longer needed.The monitor, Barbara S. Jones, filed an initial report in January that revealed Giuliani’s lawyers had asked her to block prosecutors from seeing just three of 2,200 seized electronic files deemed relevant to the investigation.Giuliani remains a target of a special grand jury in Atlanta investigating attempts by Trump and others to overturn the former president's 2020 election defeat in Georgia.Giuliani testified before the grand jury in August, but he was sanguine when he returned to New York, saying he had “satisfied his obligation under the subpoena.”Other figures swept up in the federal investigation of Giuliani's dealings in Ukraine wound up facing criminal charges.Lev Parnas, a Soviet-born businessman who had helped Giuliani connect with Ukrainian figures, was sentenced in June to a year and eight months in prison for fraud and campaign finance crimes unrelated to Giuliani.

<p>New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is under investigation by the U.S. House Ethics Committee.</p>
<p>On Wednesday, the committee confirmed in a statement that they were investigating the Congresswoman after an undisclosed matter was referred to them by the Office of Congressional Ethics on June 23. The committee did not disclose why they were investigating Ocasio-Cortez.</p>
<p>"The mere fact of a referral or an extension, and the mandatory disclosure of such an extension and the name of the subject of the matter, does not itself indicate that any violation has occurred or reflect any judgment on behalf of the committee," the committee said in a statement.</p>
<p>The committee said it would announce its “course of action” after the 118th Congress convened.</p>
<p>“The Congresswoman has always taken ethics incredibly seriously, refusing any donations from lobbyists, corporations, or other special interests," the lawmaker's spokesperson said in a statement, USA Today and Forbes reported. "We are confident that this matter will be dismissed.”</p>
<p>According to its website, the Office of Congressional Ethics, established in March 2008 by the U.S. House of Representatives, is a nonpartisan, independent entity that reviews misconduct allegations against House members and its staff.</p>

<p>
											&gt;&gt; AMERICANS GIVE THEIR TAKE ON THEIR IDEAL COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF. YOU ARE WATCHING "MATTER OF FACT," AMERICA’S NUMBER ONE NATIONALLY SYNDICATED PUBLIC AFFAIR SOLEDAD: A POST-ROE AMERICA MEANS MORE THAN JUST LIMITING ACCESS TO ABORTION SERVICES. THE REPEAL OF ROE VERSUS WADE IS ALSO A ROADBLOCK FOR MEDICAL SCHOOLS TRYING TO TRAIN FUTURE OB-GYNS. MED STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO LEARN ABORTION-RELATED PROCEDURES IN THEIR RESIDENCY PROGRAMS. BUT THE PROCEDURE IS NOW BANNED OR HEAVILY RESTRICTED IN NEARLY HALF OF THE NATION. LAST MONTH, WE TALKED TO MED STUDENTS IN WISCONSIN WITH VERY DIFFERENT VIEWS ON ABORTION AND THE TRAINING THEY NEED. STUDENTS IN STATES BANNING ABORTION MUST LOOK OUTSIDE THE STATE TO COMPLETE THEIR EDUCATION. OUR CORRESPONDENT DAN LIEBERMAN HEADS TO ILLINOIS. WHERE MEDICAL SCHOOLS ARE SCRAMBLING TO ACCOMMODATE THE INFLUX OF STUDENTS DESPERATE TO ENROLL. &gt;&gt; SO YOU HAVE SIX SPOTS FOR RESIDENTS HERE? &gt;&gt; I THINK WE’RE OVER 1000 APPLICATIONS THIS YEAR. FOR THOSE SIX SPOTS. &gt;&gt; I MEAN, THAT’S JUST STAGGERING. &gt;&gt; I KNOW. &gt;&gt; AT RUSH UNIVERSITY MEDICAL SCHOOL IN CHICAGO, DR. SADIA HAIDER’S OB- GYN RESIDENCY PROGRAM IS FEELING THE PRESSURE FROM OUT-OF-STATE APPLICANTS SEEKING TRAINING REFUGE IN A STATE WHERE ABORTION IS STILL LEGAL. IS IT HARDER THAN EVER TO TURN AN APPLICANT AWAY KNOWING THAT THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO GET THIS TRAINING ANYWHERE ELSE? &gt;&gt; IT FEELS TOUGH TO MAKE THOSE DECISIONS. OTHER PROGRAMS REACH OUT TO US AND SAY, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE RESIDENTS THAT NEED TRAINING. CAN YOU TAKE THEM THERE? THERE ARE ONLY A CERTAIN NUMBER WE CAN WORK WITH OR TRAIN. BUT WE DO FEEL VERY COMPELLED TO SUPPORT THE NEXT GENERATION OF PROVIDERS TO GET THIS TRAINING. &gt;&gt; WHEN JUST OVER HALF OF THE COUNTRY HAS TRAINING SPOTS AVAILABLE AND THE OTHER HALF NEEDS THEIR RESIDENTS TO TRAIN IN THOSE SPOTS, YOU’RE NOT GOING TO HAVE ENOUGH AVAILABILITY. &gt;&gt; ACROSS THE STATE LINE IN WISCONSIN, WHERE ABORTION IS NOW EFFECTIVELY BANNED, DR. LAURA JACQUES IS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT OPTIONS FOR HER STUDENTS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON -- WISCONSIN-MADISON. &gt;&gt; IT’S INCREDIBLY COMPLICATED FOR THE SCHOOLS AND THE ADMINISTRATIONS TO FIGURE OUT WHETHER OR NOT IT’S GOING TO BE ALLOWED, WHETHER IT’S GOING TO BE LEGAL FOR THEIR TRAINEES TO GO INTO ANOTHER STATE, FOR THEIR RESIDENTS TO GO INTO ANOTHER STATE. WE’RE GOING TO HAVE TO POUR RESOURCES INTO FIGURING OUT HOW TO CREATE TRAINING PROGRAMS. &gt;&gt; WE KNOW THAT MATERNAL MORTALITY IS HIGHER IN STATES WHERE ABORTIONS ARE BANNED. HOW DO YOU SEE THE ENVIRONMENT POST DOBBS IMPACTING THESE DISPARITIES? &gt;&gt; I ALREADY SEE PATIENTS WHO COME IN FOR OBSTETRIC CARE FROM SOMETIMES AS FAR AS TWO OR TWO AND A HALF HOURS AWAY. AND THAT’S DRIVING IN THE SNOW. WHEN YOU’RE PREGNANT TO COME GET CARE, THERE IS A NUMBER OF RURAL COUNTIES WHO DON’T HAVE OBSTETRIC PROVIDERS ANYWHERE NEARBY, THAT’S NOT GOING TO GET ANY BETTER WITH DOBBS. &gt;&gt; ONE IN FIVE COUNTIES IN WISCONSIN QUALIFIES AS A MATERNITY CARE DESERT, MEANING THEY HAVE LIMITED OR NO ACCESS TO OBSTETRIC SERVICES. DR. JACQUES ARGUES RESTRICTING ABORTION TRAINING THREATENS THE HEALTH OF MOTHERS FACING HIGH RISK PREGNANCIES AND THOSE WHOSE PREGNANCY ENDS IN MISCARRIAGE. &gt;&gt; OUR LAW ALLOWS ONLY FOR ABORTION TO SAVE THE LIFE OF THE PREGNANT PERSON. THEN WE SAT DOWN AND WE SAID, WELL, THIS CONDITION GIVES SOMEBODY A 40% CHANCE OF DYING DURING PREGNANCY. IS THAT NOT ENOUGH BECAUSE IT’S LESS THAN HALF. OR THIS CONDITION THE PERSON HAS A 20% CHANCE OF DYING OF MORTALITY. IS THAT TOO MUCH OR IS THAT TOO LITTLE? AND WE COULDN’T STOMACH THEN SENTENCING 20% OF PEOPLE TO NOT HAVING LIFE SAVING CARE. &gt;&gt; WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT SOLUTIONS, WHAT DO YOU THINK A SOLUTION COULD BE? &gt;&gt; THE SOLUTION AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL IS REALLY TO HAVE A FEDERAL PROTECTION OF ROE. THAT REALLY IS THE ULTIMATE SOLUTION. FOR BOTH THE PUBLIC AND POLICYMAKERS TO BE REALLY AWARE OF THE IMPLICATIONS OF THESE RESTRICTIONS. &gt;&gt; FOR PRO-LIFE DOCTORS, FOR PRO-LIFE RESIDENTS IN STATES WHERE ABORTION IS BANNED, WHO SAY THERE IS OTHER WAYS OR OTHER MEANS TO TO DEAL WITH THESE EMERGENCIES OTHER THAN ABORTION. WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THAT? &gt;&gt; WHAT I SAY IS THAT THERE ARE TIMES WHERE THERE’S A NEED FOR THIS SERVICE OR THIS PROCEDURE TO SAVE A PERSON’S LIFE, POTENTIALLY IN THE SETTINGS OF INFECTION, BLEEDING. AND THEN AND IF YOU DON’T HAVE TRAINED PROVIDERS, THAT CAN BE A REAL PROBLEM.

					Related video above: Medical schools scramble to accommodate influx of applicants from states enacting abortion bansThe Supreme Court said Thursday it has not determined who leaked a draft of the court's opinion overturning abortion rights, but that the investigation continues.Eight months after Politico published its explosive leak detailing the draft of Justice Samuel Alito's opinion that overturned Roe v. Wade, the court said its investigative team "has to date been unable to identify a person responsible by a preponderance of the evidence."Never before had an entire opinion made its way to the public before the court was ready to announce it. Chief Justice John Roberts ordered an investigation the next day into what he termed an "egregious breach of trust." Investigators “conducted 126 formal interviews of 97 employees, all of whom denied disclosing the opinion” in sworn statements, the court said in a 23-page document posted on its website.Some employees had to amend their written statements after they “admitted to telling their spouses about the draft opinion or vote count,” the report said.The court said it could not rule out that the opinion was inadvertently disclosed, “for example, by being left in a public space either inside or outside the building."Investigators looked closely at connections between court employees and reporters, and they found nothing to substantiate rampant speculation on social media about the identity of the leaker.The investigation concluded that it “is unlikely that the Court’s information technology (IT) systems were improperly accessed by a person outside the Court,” following an examination of the court’s computers, networks, printers, and available call and text logs.The “risk of both deliberate and accidental disclosures of Court-sensitive information” grew with the coronavirus pandemic and shift to working from home, the report said. More people working from home, ”as well as gaps in the Court’s security policies, created an environment where it was too easy to remove sensitive information from the building and the Court’s IT networks,” the report said.Investigators are continuing to “review and process some electronic data that has been collected and a few other inquiries remain pending,” the report said.Roberts also asked former Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, himself a onetime federal judge, to assess the investigation. Chertoff, in a statement issued through the court, described it as thorough.Politico published the draft decision on May 2. Less than 24 hours later, Roberts confirmed the draft’s authenticity and said he had directed the court’s marshal, former Army Col. Gail Curley, to lead the investigation.Since then, there had been silence from the court — until Thursday.The court had declined to say anything about the status of the investigation or whether an outside law firm or the FBI has been called in or whether it had taken steps to try to prevent a repeat. Speaking in Colorado in September, Justice Neil Gorsuch said he hoped a report was coming “soon” but he did not say whether it would be made public.Gorsuch joined Roberts in condemning the breach of trust the leak engendered. Justice Clarence Thomas spoke in even starker terms about the leak’s effect on the justices.“When you lose that trust, especially in the institution that I’m in, it changes the institution fundamentally. You begin to look over your shoulder. It’s like kind of an infidelity that you can explain it, but you can’t undo it,” he said while speaking at a conference in Dallas less than two weeks after the leak became public.The leak itself sparked protests and round-the-clock security at justices’ homes. Alito said it made the conservative justices who were thought to be in favor of overturning Roe v. Wade “targets for assassination” that “gave people a rational reason to think they could prevent that from happening by killing one of us.”In early June, a man carrying a gun, a knife and zip ties was arrested near Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s house in Maryland after threatening to kill the justice. The man told police he was upset by the leaked draft.Responding to protests outside the court, officials ringed the building with hard-to-climb fencing, the same barrier that was in place for months following the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.When the final decision was released on June 24, it was remarkably similar to the draft that was leaked. Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Justice Amy Coney Barrett voted to overturn Roe.Speculation has swirled since the draft’s release about who might be the source. Only the justices, a small number of staff and the justices’ law clerks, young lawyers who spend a year at the court helping the justices with their work, would have had access to the document.Conservatives pointed fingers at the liberal side of the court, speculating that the leaker was someone upset about the outcome. Liberals suggested it could be someone on the conservative side of the court who wanted to ensure a wavering justice didn’t switch sides.It would have taken just one conservative justice to side with Roberts to alter the decision. Instead of overturning Roe entirely, Roberts favored weakening abortion rights.

											NEWSCENTER 5 AT 5:30. &gt;&gt; AN URGENT ALERT ABOUT A NATIONAL BRAND OF EYEDROPS EXPECT -- SUSPECTED OF CAUSING SERIOUS EYE INFECTIONS IN AT LEAST 11 STATES. HE HAD TO EXPLAIN IS THE CHIEF OF INFECTIOUS DISEASE AT BRIGHAM AND WOMEN’S HOSPITAL. THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US. &gt;&gt; GOOD AFTERNOON. THE PRODUCT AS YOU KNOW IS CALLED AS WE CARE ARTIFICIAL TEARS. WHY IS THIS EDC NOT ASKING PEOPLE TO STOP USING THAT PRODUCT? &gt;&gt; THERE ARE TWO CONCERNING THINGS ABOUT IT. ONE, IT APPEARS THIS PRODUCT HAS BEEN CONTAMINATED WITH THIS AGGRESSIVE BACK TO THE -- BACTERIA WHICH IS A WATERBORNE ORGANISM, REALLY HARMLESS BECAUSE IT GETS INTO THE EYE AND OTHER PARTS OF THE BODY THAT CAN BE REALLY SERIOUS. THE SECOND PROBLEM IS THIS PARTICULAR STRAIN IS HIGHLY ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANT, MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO TREAT. &gt;&gt; THE CDC SAYS THE PRODUCT IS PRESERVATIVE FREE. WHY IS THAT IMPORTANT? &gt;&gt; IT IS WATERBORNE. WE KNOW THESE KINDS OF PRODUCTS CAN BECOME CONTAMINATED. WHEN THEY ARE MANUFACTURED OR USED. IT IS IMPORTANT TO USE AN EYEDROP WITH A PRESERVATIVE IN IT. OR IF YOU’RE GOING TO KEEP IT REFRIGERATED. &gt;&gt; MANY PEOPLE MAY EXPERIENCE SOME LEVEL OF EYE IRRITATION OR REDNESS DURING THE DAY. WHAT ARE THE SIGNS THAT THERE -- THAT SO MUCH AND LOOK OUT FOR THAT THERE COULD BE AN INFECTION ? &gt;&gt; THERE ARE A NUMBER OF THINGS. . IF THERE IS ANY PAIN OR CHANGE IN YOUR VISION THAT IS A CONCERN, SWELLING OF THE EYELID, ESPECIALLY REDNESS AROUND THE EYELID IS A PROBLEM. THE BULGING OF THE EYE ITSELF, ALL OF THOSE THINGS COULD BE A PROBLEM. THAT CAN SOMETIMES BE AN INDICATION THAT YOU HAVE AN EROSION OF THE CORNEA. ALL OF THESE THINGS WOULD NEED MEDICAL ATTENTION. &gt;&gt; WE ALWAYS APPRECIAT

					The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is urging health care providers and consumers to stop using EzriCare Artificial Tears as it conducts an investigation into at least 55 infections in 12 states that have led to instances of permanent vision loss, hospitalization and one death.Most people with infections reported using at least one of more than 10 brands of artificial tears, and the majority of these patients reported using EzriCare's product, the agency says. These eye drops are preservative-free, meaning they don't have ingredients to prevent bacterial growth.The CDC says it received reports of infections of the cornea, intraocular fluids, respiratory tract and urinary tract, as well as sepsis.Testing of open EzriCare bottles identified Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria that are resistant to a broad array of antibiotics: cefepime, ceftazidime, piperacillin-tazobactam, aztreonam, carbapenems, ceftazidime-avibactam, ceftolozane-tazobactam, fluoroquinolones, polymyxins, amikacin, gentamicin and tobramycin. However, bacterial isolates that were tested against cefiderocol were susceptible to it.The bacteria in the open bottles could have come from contamination either during use or during the manufacturing process, the CDC says. Testing of unopened bottles is ongoing.New Jersey-based EzriCare says in a statement that after learning about the investigation Jan. 20, it "immediately took action to stop any further distribution or sale of EzriCare Artificial Tears. To the greatest extent possible, we have been contacting customers to advise them against continued use of the product."The eye drops are made in India, and "we understand that the same product is also marketed under other brand names," the company says. The manufacturer, Global Pharma Healthcare PVT Limited, is working with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on a recall, EzriCare says.The CDC urges health care providers to immediately stop using EzriCare Artificial Tears. They should advise their patients who use this product to watch for signs of infection and ask about product use in patients who have eye infections.The CDC also advises consumers to stop using these EzriCare eye drops and to ask for alternative products if their health care provider recommended EzriCare.Pseudomonas bacteria are common in the environment, such as in soil and water. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is usually spread in health care settings, the CDC says, and is increasingly difficult to treat because of antibiotic resistance. It caused more than 32,000 infections in hospitalized patients and about 2,700 deaths in the U.S. in 2017.

<p>Most people with infections reported using at least one of more than 10 brands of artificial tears, and the majority of these patients reported using EzriCare's product, <a href="https://emergency.cdc.gov/han/2023/han00485.asp?ACSTrackingID=USCDC_511-DM98842&amp;ACSTrackingLabel=HAN%20485%20-%20General%20Public&amp;deliveryName=USCDC_511-DM98842" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">the agency says</a>. These eye drops are preservative-free, meaning they don't have ingredients to prevent bacterial growth.</p>

<p><!-- article/blocks/side-floater --></p>
<p>The CDC says it received reports of infections of the cornea, intraocular fluids, respiratory tract and urinary tract, as well as sepsis.</p>
<p>Testing of open EzriCare bottles identified Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria that are resistant to a broad array of antibiotics: cefepime, ceftazidime, piperacillin-tazobactam, aztreonam, carbapenems, ceftazidime-avibactam, ceftolozane-tazobactam, fluoroquinolones, polymyxins, amikacin, gentamicin and tobramycin. However, bacterial isolates that were tested against cefiderocol were susceptible to it.</p>
<p>The bacteria in the open bottles could have come from contamination either during use or during the manufacturing process, the CDC says. Testing of unopened bottles is ongoing.</p>
<p>New Jersey-based EzriCare says <a href="https://ezricare-info.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">in a statement</a> that after learning about the investigation Jan. 20, it "immediately took action to stop any further distribution or sale of EzriCare Artificial Tears. To the greatest extent possible, we have been contacting customers to advise them against continued use of the product."</p>
<p>The eye drops are made in India, and "we understand that the same product is also marketed under other brand names," the company says. The manufacturer, Global Pharma Healthcare PVT Limited, is working with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on a recall, EzriCare says.</p>
<p>The CDC urges health care providers to immediately stop using EzriCare Artificial Tears. They should advise their patients who use this product to watch for signs of infection and ask about product use in patients who have eye infections.</p>
<p>The CDC also advises consumers to stop using these EzriCare eye drops and to ask for alternative products if their health care provider recommended EzriCare.</p>
<p>Pseudomonas bacteria are common in the environment, such as in soil and water. <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/hai/organisms/pseudomonas.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Pseudomonas aeruginosa</a> is usually spread in health care settings, the CDC says, and is increasingly difficult to treat because of antibiotic resistance. It caused more than 32,000 infections in hospitalized patients and about 2,700 deaths in the U.S. in 2017. </p>

<p>A new <a class="Link" href="https://www.consumerreports.org/corporate-accountability/amazon-warehouses-are-straining-a-brooklyn-neighborhood-a2966247023/">investigation</a> from Consumer Reports is showing how e-commerce delivery is impacting neighborhoods across the country. It looked at a neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York, where there are two Amazon warehouses and a third expected soon.</p>
<p>Using traffic, noise and air-quality sensors, Kavah Waddell says they recorded elevated levels of particle pollution. The levels were at a point the Environmental Protection Agency would consider concerning for people with preexisting conditions like asthma.</p>
<p>His team also noticed through its investigation of other places outside of Los Angeles and Chicago that e-commerce warehouses are often in lower income neighborhoods and communities of color.</p>
<p>"Because of our very long legacy of discriminatory housing policies, like redlining, a lot of those sort of areas that are adjacent to industrial uses, places where it might not be their first place to choose to live, those are often communities of color or lower income communities," Waddell said.</p>
<p>Waddell says there's been a growing momentum of policies that would make it difficult for warehouses to clump in a single neighborhood.</p>
<p>A proposal in New York state would be a first of its kind. It’s called the Clean Deliveries Act.</p>
<p>"It would actually require warehouse operators across all of New York state to account for their truck and van traffic and take certain steps to mitigate that,” Waddell said. “So that could be electrifying trucks and vans, for example. It could be things like putting in solar panels."</p>
<p>In a statement, Amazon said the following:</p>
<p>"We remain committed to becoming a more sustainable company, and that includes how we show up in neighborhoods where our customers live, and employees work,” Amazon spokesperson Simone Griffin said. “We will continue to roll out electric delivery vehicles, cargo bikes, and other forms of transportation, in addition to powering local buildings with wind and solar energy where we can."</p>
<p>Amazon says it's on the path to power its operations with 100 percent renewable energy by 2025. That is five years ahead of its initial 2030 target.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Waddell wants people to know e-commerce giants are moving closer to neighborhoods because that's what it takes for really fast deliveries.</p>

<p>The NFL has moved quickly to take over an investigation into alleged sexual harassment by Washington Commanders owner Daniel Snyder. </p>
<p>The announcement came hours after the Commanders said the team had hired an outside investigator to look into allegations by former team employee Tiffani Johnston. </p>
<p>She told Congress that Snyder groped her thigh at a team dinner and pushed her toward his limousine with his hand on her lower back years ago. </p>
<p>NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy says the league "will be retaining an investigator to determine the facts."</p>
<p>The <a class="Link" href="https://apnews.com/article/nfl-sports-business-debra-wong-yang-washington-commanders-ac94b48d8f5acdd8d2a79da379831bf8">Associated Press</a> reported this isn't the first time the league has taken over an investigation that involved Washington.</p>
<p>In 2020, former team employees accused team executives of rampant sexual harassment. Initially, the team hired attorney Beth Wilkinson’s firm to investigate, but the league took it over, the news outlet reported.</p>
<p>After Wilkinson turned the finding over to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, Snyder was fined $10 million. </p>
<p>He also temporarily turned the team's day-to-day operations over to his wife, Tanya, the AP reported.</p>
<p>According to the AP, Wilkinson's findings have never been released publicly.</p>

					A woman whose 24th birthday would've been on Sunday died under mysterious circumstances in Connecticut last month after meeting a man on a dating app.There was a huge community turnout to honor Lauren Smith-Fields over the weekend."I just want everyone to know I love my daughter, and we need justice, we need answers," Shantell Fields, Lauren's mother, said at a rally in front of the Bridgeport Police Department.The family alleges an inadequate response by the Bridgeport police after Smith-Fields, a Black woman, died in her apartment following a meeting with an older white man arranged on the dating app Bumble.They say the department's handling of the case has been racially insensitive and they are suing to get justice."Since she passed, this case has been covered 24 hours, seven days a week as a testimony to how vibrant and important she was," said Darnell Crosland, a lawyer representing Smith-Fields' family.Bridgeport city officials did not provide a comment on the march, but they did say the initial police investigation is under review.The medical examiner on the case has not yet released the cause of death.As her family and supporters — both in-person and online — focus on what will happen next, loved ones say whatever that is, they will be heard and shown respect."She was in college, and she has family and friends that love her," Shantell Fields said. "No one is going to discard Lauren Smith-Fields, my daughter, like she's rubbish."Watch the video above for more on this story.

<p>"I just want everyone to know I love my daughter, and we need justice, we need answers," Shantell Fields, Lauren's mother, said at a rally in front of the Bridgeport Police Department.</p>
<p>The family alleges an inadequate response by the Bridgeport police after Smith-Fields, a Black woman, died in her apartment following a meeting with an older white man arranged on the dating app Bumble.</p>
<p>They say the department's handling of the case has been racially insensitive and they are suing to get justice.</p>
<p>"Since she passed, this case has been covered 24 hours, seven days a week as a testimony to how vibrant and important she was," said Darnell Crosland, a lawyer representing Smith-Fields' family.</p>
<p>Bridgeport city officials did not provide a comment on the march, but they did say the initial police investigation is under review.</p>
<p>The medical examiner on the case has not yet released the cause of death.</p>
<p>As her family and supporters — both in-person and online — focus on what will happen next, loved ones say whatever that is, they will be heard and shown respect.</p>
<p>"She was in college, and she has family and friends that love her," Shantell Fields said. "No one is going to discard Lauren Smith-Fields, my daughter, like she's rubbish."</p>

					A homeless man from Miami was charged with the murder of 14-year-old Ryan Rogers, who was found stabbed to death in Palm Beach Gardens.Semmie Lee Williams Jr., 39, was taken into custody in Miami on Wednesday, according to police.Palm Beach Gardens police charged Williams with first-degree murder with a weapon. His first appearance in court was Thursday morning, where he was told he will be held without bond.Officials said there is no motive at this time and they believe this was a completely random incident with "an innocent child victim.""It appears to be an absolute chance encounter between a child on a bike and an animal that probably should not be out on our streets," said Chief Clint Shannon.The investigationRogers was found dead on Nov. 16 just south of the I-95 overpass on Central Boulevard with his bike nearby. He was found two dozen feet from the sidewalk in a wooded area out of plain sight. He had gone missing one day earlier after his mother said he had left his home on his bike and not returned, according to police.Data from Rogers' phone revealed he was traveling south on the I-95 overpass and stopped at about 7:31 p.m. Williams was seen on surveillance video walking northbound on Central Boulevard at 7:20 p.m. The two would have crossed paths at about 7:31 p.m., according to investigators."He has no ties that we can determine to Palm Beach Gardens or Palm Beach County — none whatsoever. It’s a mystery to us why this man was in our community but we have evidence that places him on the scene and makes him responsible for the murder of this child," Chief Clint Shannon said.The autopsy results showed Rogers was stabbed multiple times in the head and face, police said. His cause of death was ruled a homicide.Police said headphones were found at the crime scene that did not belong to Rogers. A DNA sample produced a positive match belonging to Williams.When Williams was located in Miami, a bloodstained bandana was found in his backpack, investigators said. Further analysis showed the two contributors to the bloodstains were Rogers and Williams.When he was interviewed by law enforcement, Williams denied any interaction with Rogers.Officials said while he was located in Miami, there is evidence that he traveled to Palm Beach County on Nov. 15 and returned to Miami the following day.Officials said the investigation was "extremely challenging" from the beginning, and there was a lot of information that couldn't be released to the public without endangering what they were doing. The investigation moved very rapidly, with a lot of local and federal departments helping, according to Palm Beach Gardens police.Earlier this week, police said parents should remain vigilant and take steps they feel are appropriate with regard to their children's activities in public.Palm Beach Gardens Police said they increased patrols in the community amid the investigation. The chief said that while people should always be vigilant, the community is safe, they "removed a dangerous monster from the streets," and this incident could have happened in any location.Shannon said he met with Ryan's parents Thursday morning to offer condolences in this "unimaginable tragedy."The investigation is ongoing at this time, and police said there are still many details that can't yet be revealed.

					Springdale police asked for the public's help Tuesday. They're seeking leads in a two-year-old homicide.Josue Lopez-Ramirez was a Guatemalan immigrant who police said came to the United States with his family for a better life.His life came to an end when he was just 18 years old."When you stand there and see a mother who just watched her son be taken from her, you never forget that," said Springdale police Chief Tom Wells.  Wells was at this scene that night. It was the day before Thanksgiving, 2019.Lopez-Ramirez had just picked up his mother from work and had returned to their apartment on Chesterdale Road."They pulled in to their parking stall in front of their apartment building, and before they were even able to get out of the car, a suspect car pulled in behind them, kind of blocking them in," said Springdale police officer Keenan Riordan.  A group of men got out of the car. Police said they first attempted to rob Lopez-Ramirez's mother and then him."And one of the suspect's shot him. He was shot one time, however, multiple shots were fired," Riordan said.  The suspects took off. Police collected evidence and followed several leads, but nothing has led investigators to the suspects.Tuesday, police urged the public to help them get answers."Maybe the suspects spoke about the accident. Maybe they acted suspiciously," Riordan said. "Maybe they'll talk about it at Thanksgiving dinner. Maybe they talked about it at Thanksgiving dinner two years ago, and I'm hoping that will jar a memory or something like that now that the holidays are upon us again."  The hope is to bring closure to a family who is still suffering."It is our interest to see justice for people who are victimized in this community, and it's also our experience, people talk about crimes. They just do," Wells said. Police said they don't know why Lopez-Ramirez and his mother were targeted. They said it was possibly a crime of opportunity. Another theory is that they were followed home.The only description police have of the suspects is what Lopez-Ramirez's mother gave them. She said it was a group of either three or four black men wearing dark clothes and in a dark-colored car.Anyone with information is asked to call Springdale police or Crimestoppers at 513-352-3040.

<p>"Maybe the suspects spoke about the accident. Maybe they acted suspiciously," Riordan said. "Maybe they'll talk about it at Thanksgiving dinner. Maybe they talked about it at Thanksgiving dinner two years ago, and I'm hoping that will jar a memory or something like that now that the holidays are upon us again."  </p>
<p>The hope is to bring closure to a family who is still suffering.</p>
<p>"It is our interest to see justice for people who are victimized in this community, and it's also our experience, people talk about crimes. They just do," Wells said. </p>
<p>Police said they don't know why Lopez-Ramirez and his mother were targeted. They said it was possibly a crime of opportunity. Another theory is that they were followed home.</p>
<p>The only description police have of the suspects is what Lopez-Ramirez's mother gave them. She said it was a group of either three or four black men wearing dark clothes and in a dark-colored car.</p>
<p>Anyone with information is asked to call Springdale police or Crimestoppers at 513-352-3040.</p>

					Your tires may look good on the outside, but could they contain a hidden danger? Experts say tires can wear down with no visible signs of deterioration.That is the result of oxidation, the same process that causes metal to rust.A lawsuit says oxidation helped cause a blowout accident that left a truck driver permanently disabled."All of a sudden the tire came apart, flew up in front of the truck. I couldn't see out the windshield and next thing I know I was down in the brush," said truck driver Milford Stevens.A crash on Route 422 in Butler County, Pennsylvania, left Stevens with a broken neck, traumatic brain injury and extensive nerve damage."It took his life. It just didn't kill him," said Donna Stevens, his wife.Pictures of the tire taken after the crash show it was torn apart.But the day of the crash, Milford did a visual inspection of the tires and found nothing wrong.A week before the crash, a state police inspection report shows the truck and tires had no violations."I did not see any tire defects whatsoever," former Trooper Randall Michell testified in a deposition for the Stevens case.Kumho, the tire manufacturer, said in court papers that the tire was "so worn and abused as to be illegal under state and federal law" and "no defect existed or caused" the accident.But Stevens' attorneys said "premature oxidation in the subject failed tire" helped cause the accident and a similar defect was found in other crashes that led to lawsuits against Kumho."The tire essentially rotted from the inside out because it wasn't equipped with an appropriate anti-oxidant package that really stopped the breakdown of the rubber from the inside out as a result of oxygen molecules attacking the chemicals inside the rubber," said Wesley Ball, an attorney for Stevens.The jury sided with Stevens and awarded him $3 million in damages.A Kumho spokesman said, "We respectfully disagree with the jury's verdict in this trial.  The product met all federal safety standards and there was no manufacturing defect found. Kumho Tire is currently considering our next course of action in regards to this case."Stevens and his wife said most of the money will go toward medical and living expenses for the rest of his life, including care for the horses that they can no longer ride together."No matter how much, a dollar amount can't change the fact that he can't change a light bulb in the house," Donna Stevens said.Ball said there is little that drivers can do to tell if oxidation is damaging the interior of a tire."It's like figuring out if the inside of an egg is bad when you get it right from the store. Until you crack it you don't know and unfortunately, it's kind of the same way with a tire," he said.Tires are treated with chemicals that slow oxidation and delay deterioration. But outside of an X-ray, experts said it's difficult to measure interior wear and tear."You don't have tire health monitoring for things like deterioration, things like tread abrasion," said Swarum Kumar, an engineering professor at Carnegie Mellon. But Kumar is working to change that. His lab is trying to develop something like a tire pressure monitor that detects internal and invisible damage."Anything that we can do to help prevent these types of accidents can make a huge impact," Kumar said.Milford and Donna Stevens hope something can be done to make tires safer."This put the screws to my life," Milford said.Kumar said a tire can decay even while sitting on a store shelf. He said it is important for drivers to know how old their tires are and how long the manufacturer says they are supposed to last.

											Look at this baby giraffe Go Albert the rothschild Giraffe was seen last month exploring his surroundings at the Chester Zoo in England. His mother, Orla, gave birth to him after a 15 month pregnancy on March 3rd. And although Albert's birth and life are much to be celebrated, the rothschild giraffes are very much in danger. Mike Jordan, director of animals and plants at the zoo, said once wide ranging across kenya, Uganda and Sudan, the rothschild's giraffe has been almost eliminated from these areas and now only survive in a few small isolated populations, adding that although conservation programs, such as the ones the zoo supports, are helping improve their numbers, quote, they're still threatened with habitat loss and ongoing poaching crisis, which has seen giraffes hunted for their tails to be used as good luck charms.<br />

					The Dallas Zoo says necropsy results from the recent deaths of two giraffes point to liver damage, suggesting a possible exposure to a toxin of some sort, either through a food source in the exhibit space, or introduced via a foreign object."We still have intense work ahead of us to find a possible link between these two deaths and determine what may have led to this. The lab results we depend on for diagnosis and confirmation simply cannot come fast enough – for us, and for you. We know it's difficult to hear about these losses," zoo officials shared via their Facebook page.Related video above: Endangered baby giraffe runs around enclosure at UK zooFourteen-year-old Jesse passed away on Oct. 29, despite aggressive treatment and heroic efforts by animal care staff, according to the zoo. He began showing first signs of illness on Oct. 27 and received intense medical care and observation until his ultimate passing. Blood test results showed abnormal liver enzymes, which immediately raised concerns over a possible connection to 19-year-old Auggie, who also died in October. The zoo said he was affectionately known as "Uncle Auggie" because of how sweet and gentle he always was with new calves.While zoo officials said they suspect the deaths are connected, they are still working toward definitive proof. They're doing extensive lab testing on blood and tissue samples from Jesse and Auggie to identify commonalities and further pinpoint what may have happened. They're also testing for Zoonotic diseases, including encephalomyocarditis.Outside experts from across the country have joined their efforts in continuing to work through lab test results on blood, tissue, food, plants, and other items, in an effort to identify the cause, while also working to eliminate possibilities.Zoo officials said that prior to Jesse dying, (and without knowing if there was a link between the two illnesses) they put preventative measures in place across their animal teams to isolate and protect the other animals. This included limiting giraffe movements and access to the habitat and feed yard.The nutrition team discarded entire supplies of some food items, replacing them with fresh crops while awaiting results from toxicology screens. Zoo workers continue to scrutinize food and browse intake to minimize possible risks from food sources as well. They're closely monitoring giraffe and similar hoofstock for any signs of illness and conducting regular blood draws to monitor liver enzyme levels, too. A change in those levels could be the first indication of an issue, according to the zoo.

<p>
					The trial continued Tuesday for a former youth sports coach on trial for sex crimes involving children.Eric Schmidt is charged with one count of rape, two counts of gross sexual imposition and two counts of public indecency.Tuesday's testimony centered around text messages one of the accusers sent to friends the night she claims she was molested.That accuser is 19 years old, but she was 12 in 2015 — the year prosecutors say crimes against her were committed.The teenager said she was friends with Schmidt's daughter and was at their house for a sleepover in April 2015.During her testimony, she read text messages she sent to friends that night from Schmidt's home in Mason."I said, 'I really don't understand why you find that funny. No, seriously, it's a remarried man trying to rape a freaking 12-year-old kid," the accuser said. She said Schmidt exposed himself and touched her inappropriately in the theatre room of the house after his daughter fell asleep.Assistant prosecutor Travis Vieux asked her, "Did the defendant touch your hand?""Yes," she said.Vieux asked, "Did he touch your arm?""Yes," she said.Vieux asked, "Did he rub up your arm?""Yes," she said.Vieux asked, "Did he touch your shoulder?""Yes," she said.Vieux asked, "Did he touch your breast?""Yes," she said. While prosecutors are trying to use the accuser's texts as proof that Schmidt is guilty of gross sexual imposition and public indecency, defense attorneys tried using the messages to their advantage. During cross-examination, defense attorney Bill Gallagher asked, "Eric is trying to touch you?""Yes," she said.Gallagher asked, "You don't yell, right?""No," she said.Gallagher asked, "You said you just sort of froze?" "Yes," she said."Gallagher questioned how could she be frozen at the same time she carried on text message conversations with multiple friends."Does it shock you at all, in all of your text messaging in here, there's not a single spelling mistake, but you're stressed out and trying to figure out what to do?" Gallagher said."It's called autocorrect," the accuser said.  Mason Detective Jeff Wyss also took the stand Tuesday. He said he began to investigate the 2015 allegations, but the case was closed when the accuser's family decided not to pursue charges.That case was reopened in 2019 after a second accuser, also 12 at the time, made allegations against Schmidt.He's been charged with rape in that case.Prosecutors said that accuser was sexually assaulted at a party for football families in the Kings and Mason area. Schmidt had coached youth football, baseball and softball.That girl is 14 years old now and is expected to testify Wednesday.Before calling her to the stand, prosecutors called a relative of Schmidt's to testify about what she said she witnessed in January 2015 when she was temporarily staying with the family.She was 19 years old at the time.She said she was alone with Schmidt watching Vampire Diaries when he suggested they watch the show downstairs.She said they relocated to the theater room and continued watching Netflix.Vieux asked her to describe what Schmidt did that she thought to be sexually inappropriate."When we were watching Netflix, after some time, the notice on the Netflix screen says 'Do you wish to continue? Click yes or no.' That had popped up. I looked to my right to see if the remote was near me to click yes. It wasn't there. I had turned to my left and Mr. Schmidt was sitting there with his genitals out," the relative said.  Schmidt has not been charged with any crime in connection to that incident.Schmidt maintains his innocence. Gallagher previously said Schmidt passed a polygraph test.

<p>CLEVELAND — Three suspects were arrested after an <a class="Link" href="https://www.news5cleveland.com/cleveland-police-identify-officer-shot-killed-on-citys-west-side" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">officer was shot and killed</a> in Cleveland's Stockyard neighborhood Thursday evening.</p>
<p>The unidentified suspects was <a class="Link" href="https://www.news5cleveland.com/news/local-news/cleveland-metro/suspect-arrested-in-connection-to-the-killing-of-cpd-detective-james-skernivitz" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">arrested</a> Friday morning.</p>
<p>The shooting occurred around 10 p.m. in the 3200 block of West 65th Street near Storer Avenue, police said.</p>
<p>The officer, later identified as Det. James Skernivitz, was rushed to MetroHealth Medical Center where he died from his injuries, according to the Cleveland Police Patrolmen's Association.</p>
<p>Police said another person was confirmed dead on the scene but was not a suspect.</p>
<p>Skernivitz's identity was held pending the notification of his family, as he is married with children, police said.</p>
<p>Cleveland Police Patrolmen's Association said Skernivitz has been on the force for "a while," was "well-liked" and was a "good man."</p>
<p>"This one hurts," Cleveland Police Patrolmen's Association president Jeff Follmer said.</p>
<p>Skernivitz was a 25-year veteran of the Cleveland Division of Police, authorities said.</p>
<p>"We definitely need the prayers of the people in the city. This officer was out doing what all police officers do — trying to protect the people the city — and he gave his life, so we ask that you kind of give his family a little room," Cleveland Police Chief Calvin Williams said.</p>
<p>Special agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) in Columbus responded to the scene to assist police.</p>

<p>Nora Dannehy was a top prosecutor on a team led by U.S. Attorney John Durham of Connecticut, who was appointed last year to lead an investigation into how the FBI and other federal agencies set out to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and whether the Trump campaign had coordinated with the Kremlin. </p>
<p>A spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s office in Connecticut has confirmed Dannehy’s departure but declined to comment further. </p>

					Police have arrested a fired pharmacist who is accused of intentionally spoiling more than 500 COVID-19 vaccines at Aurora Medical Center in Grafton, Wisconsin.The FBI and the Food &amp; Drug Administration are investigating the person who left 57 vials of the Moderna vaccine out of a pharmacy refrigerator at Aurora Medical Center-Grafton.The person's name is not being released until formal charges are filed.Advocate Aurora Health now says it was an intentional act. The person in question Wednesday admitted they intentionally removed the vaccine from refrigeration.After an internal investigation, it was first believed to be human error. The vials were discovered outside the refrigerator Dec. 26. Aurora Health President Dr. Jeff Bahr spoke about the incident Thursday during a news conference."Over the subsequent days, as we continued our internal review, we became increasingly suspicious of the behavior of the individual in question," Bahr said. "The individual was suspended and after multiple interviews over the course of the week, admitted yesterday to intentionally removing the vaccine from refrigeration."  The Moderna vaccine can be out of refrigeration for 12 hours."We are more than disappointed that this individual’s actions will result in a delay of more than 500 people receiving their vaccine. This was a violation of our core values, and the individual is no longer employed by us," Advocate Aurora Health said. Grafton police said Aurora Corporate Security called them at 6:18 p.m. Wednesday about an employee tampering with the vials of COVID-19 vaccine.It said it was investigating, along with the federal agencies."This matter is being actively investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Food and Drug Administration and the Grafton Police Department," Grafton police said.Officers said the value of the spoiled vaccines was between $8,000 and $11,000."Grafton detectives indicate that the individual knew the spoiled vaccinations would be useless and that people who received the vaccinations would think they had been vaccinated against the virus when in fact they were not," police said in a statement to sister station WISN-TV.The Wisconsin Department of Health Services said before any facility becomes a COVID-19 vaccine provider, they require extensive registration and training for storing and handling the vaccine."DHS requires any wasted vaccine to be reported, investigated and addressed through a written plan of improvement," the department said.State health officials said they were now working with Aurora to make sure an incident like this never happens again."We feel strongly that our processes are sound, but again, this fell more to this being a bad actor involved than a bad process," Bahr said.He added that 57 doses were able to be administered after they were found outside the refrigerator.But Bahr said hospital officials also learned the vials were left out longer than originally reported and may not be as effective in combating the virus.Those vaccine recipients have been notified of the situation, Bahr said.Police said the pharmacist could be charged with first-degree recklessly endangering safety, adulterating a prescription drug and criminal damage to property.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 was being held in the Ozaukee County Jail.The remaining doses of the vaccine that were left out of the refrigerator were discarded.Bahr said the doses were not tampered with."Immediately upon notification, DHS followed up with Aurora and has worked closely with them as they have investigated the situation, reviewed their processes and implemented improvements," Wisconsin Department of Health Services Secretary Andrea Palm said in response to the incident.
