Criminal charges have been filed against three Pennsylvania police officers in connection with the shooting death of an 8-year-old girl and the wounding of three others at a high school football game last year. The girl, Fanta Bility, was killed on Aug. 27 when gunfire broke out shortly after the conclusion of a game at Academy Park High School in Sharon Hill, a community of about 5,700 residents near the Philadelphia International Airport. Bility's sister and two others were injured. Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer announced the charges Tuesday against three Sharon Hill Police officers—Devon Smith, Sean Dolan and Brian Devaney—in connection with Bility's death.

Mayor Eric Adams admitted Tuesday that even he doesn’t feel safe riding the city’s subways. “Day one, Jan. 1, when I took the train, I saw the homelessness, the yelling, the screaming early in the morning,” Adams said at a press conference. “Crimes right outside the platform. “We know we have a job to do, and we’re going to do both: We’re going to drive down crime, and we’re going to make sure New Yorkers feel safe in our subway system,” he said. “And they don’t feel that way now. I don’t feel that way when I take the train.” Adams’ stunning admission comes on the heels of his controversial

Timothy Perry is out as chief of staff at ICE amid questions over the deportation agency’s plummeting arrest numbers. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed his departure but did not give a reason for the sudden change. One law enforcement source said Mr. Perry was ousted by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over concern about ICE’s enforcement numbers, which show a serious deterioration in the agency’s operations over the last year. ICE spokeswoman Nicole Peckumn said Mr. Perry was no longer working at the agency, but she didn’t address the arrest numbers nor Mr. Mayorkas’ role in Mr. Perry’s departure. “Tim Perry decided to depart the agency to pursue

White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Tuesday invoked President Biden‘s dead wife and child in an unusual move to sidestep questions about why the administration won’t release visitor logs from the president’s Delaware residences.“Well, the president goes to Delaware because it’s his home. It’s also where his son and former wife are buried and it’s a place that is close to his heart,” Ms. Psaki said during the daily press briefing. “A lot of presidents go visit their home when they are president.”(Snip)The connection between Mr. Biden‘s deceased family members and the White House refusing to release visitor logs for his homes in Wilmington and Rehoboth

A group of New York City commuters were forced to stand behind the subway entryway Tuesday morning while waiting for a train as a screaming man paced on the platform—a scene that is increasingly typical as random subway violence becomes the norm. Three women waiting for the downtown 6 at the 23rd Street station around 7am stayed behind the turnstiles before running onto their train at the last minute when it arrived.(Snip)'There was also a six-foot man who’d gone through the turnstiles who was hovering near the exit door near us. It was a horrible atmosphere and there wasn’t a cop or MTA worker in sight,'

Former Attorney General William P. Barr will release a memoir in March that will dive into his tenure under the presidencies of George H.W. Bush and Donald Trump. In the long-rumored book, “One Damn Thing After Another: Memoirs of an Attorney General,” Mr. Barr will give a “candid account of his historic tenures serving two vastly different presidents,” according to a book description on Amazon. “In this candid memoir, Barr takes readers behind the scenes during seminal moments of the 1990s, from the LA riots to Pan Am 103 and Iran Contra,” the description states. “Thirty years later, Barr faced an unrelenting barrage of issues, such as Russiagate,

Perceive this, Mr. Mayor! New Yorkers reacted harshly Monday to Eric Adams’ claim that they’re merely experiencing “the perception of fear” on the subways, saying they want the mayor to know they avoid riding the rails for a very real reason: to keep themselves safe.
An Upper West Side lawyer said she’s been spending about $500 on Uber rides a month amid the recent spate of shoving incidents that led to the slaying of a woman in the Times Square station on Saturday. “The fear is real,” said the 31-year-old woman, who gave her name as Monica. “When you hear incidents that women are being thrown onto the subway

AT&T has reluctantly agreed to delay the launch of its C-band 5G technology after the FAA and pilots unions threatened to cancel hundreds of flights over fears the roll-out would make it unsafe to fly, and Verizon is being urged by the White House to follow suit in order to avoid thousands of flights being canceled tomorrow.
The new technology was due to launch around the US on Wednesday January 19th, a deadline that has been in the making for two years. To launch, AT&T and Verizon towers that emit the signals necessary to power it were due to be switched on.
