Two people are dead after the motorcycle they were riding on was involved in a crash with a vehicle.
The crash happened at the afternoon in Helena on CR-95.
According to Helena Police Chief Brad Flynn, the two riders were pronounced dead on the scene. Flynn said Shelby County Traffic Homicide Task Force is on scene and will be investigating the collision.
One man is dead and another man was detained after an altercation in Springville.
A heavy police presence could be seen early Monday morning around apartments on Forman Street.
According to Springville Police Chief Wayne Walton, two men were involved in an altercation. Walton wouldn’t say whether the altercation took place inside or outside of the apartments and would not release any details about the altercation at this time. He confirmed one man is deceased and another man was detained by police. Walton said there is no danger to the community.
Walton would not comment on the manor of death due to the ongoing investigation.
Both men are reportedly residents of Springville. Walton confirmed one of the men lived in the apartments.
Nathan Turner lives across the street. Turner said he called 911 when he heard the altercation.
“My wife and I and my in laws were over here, it was about 9 o’clock,” Turner described. “It was kinda alarming because we have a 15 day old baby, so that was alarming, but the kids were asleep.”
Turner said police responded very quickly.
“I felt once they showed up on scene everything was fine,” said Turner. “That made me feel pretty good living right across the street.”
Turner said he was shocked when he heard what happened, especially so close to home.
“It makes me feel like nowhere is as safe as it seems. I will say like I said before, the local law enforcement in Springville does a great job. We will be up with the baby and we will see a police officer drive down the street so I know it’s well taken care of in this area so I am not too worried about it. It does alarm me a little bit knowing we’ve got little kids in here and my kids run around and play out here all the time, fortunate enough this happened at night and not during the day so I didn’t have to worry about them being out here.”
The name of the victim and the person detained have not yet been released.
“Very sad,” Turner reacted, stating he talked to family members of the victim. “Seeing them in the distress they were in and how it affected them, I couldn’t image seeing my father laying like that or anything like that.”
“My heart goes out to them,” added Turner. “I couldn’t imagine being in their shoes.”
Police were still on scene at 2:00 a.m. Monday morning.
Police are still collecting evidence and law enforcement agencies are still investigating, Walton explained.
Police are searching for the suspect in yet another homicide in Southeast D.C. It was the second in less than 24 hours.
The violence erupted near the Congress Heights metro station two blocks from the entertainment and sports area that’s home to the Washington Mystics.
“Crime. It’s literally just that crime that’s ruining the entire experience in Southeast,” resident Erika White told FOX 5.
On the afternoon’s shooting involved a BMW that crashed into a fence at 13th Street and Alabama Ave. Police say one man from the car was shot and killed.
Bullet holes riddled the driver’s side window of the car and bullet shell casings were on the ground next to the car and down the street.
“I feel like this is really sad. I’ve lived here in this neighborhood for like seven years and we just want to be able to walk and have events and have a good time and this is right down the street from my house,” White said. “You’ve interviewed me before for another crime that happened years ago and honestly, I’m trying to leave the area. It’s not getting any better.”
there was yet another deadly shooting in the District in the 2800 block of Langston Place, Southeast – just over a mile from Saturday’s crime scene.
Police tell FOX 5 a man and a 16-year-old boy were shot. That teen was killed and has been identified as Darren Johnson.
“People are dying left and right, as you see behind us. People are dying – more young people each and every day,” Quincy Williams said. “I just ask everybody in D.C. to just put down the guns. Stop the violence.”
FOX 5 met Williams and Aundrea Perry at the scene of Saturday’s shooting in Southeast.
“It gets really frustrating because almost every family from this area, from the South who has migrated to this area has been affected by the violence of guns,” Perry said.
Police released images of a silver sedan on the evening that they say the shots were fired from along Alabama Ave. that ended up with the driver of the BMW dead on the street.
Minneapolis police are investigating after two people were killed and another person was injured in a shooting the afternoon at a homeless encampment.
The Minneapolis Police Department did not immediately provide many details about the shooting but said two men died on scene while a woman was transported to the hospital, where she is in critical condition.
Three people were detained but police say they are still determining if and how they were involved in the incident.
The shooting occurred around the 4400 block of Snelling Avenue at approximately 2:21 p.m.
This is the second deadly shooting that has occurred at a Minneapolis homeless encampment over the weekend. On the morning, another shooting left one dead and two injured.
Three men are dead and a person of interest is in custody after a fire at a home in Temple City.
The fire was reported shortly before 5 p.m. in the 6000 block of Sultana Avenue. Firefighters had the flames out in less than half an hour, but ultimately found three male bodies inside the residence.
It wasn’t immediately clear if they died from the fire or another cause.
Two other men who were encountered outside the home were hospitalized and treated for burns to their arms.
Lt. Hugo Reynaga with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department homicide unit said another person who lives at the home contacted deputies.
“There was a language barrier,” Reynaga said. “He speaks Mandarin. At this point he is a person of interest. They do believe he was the person who set the fire.
The name of the 64-year-old man has not been released.
It appears the people living at the home were roommates but not necessarily family members.
Two men were shot and killed at a house party in Hawthorne. The shooting happened around 2 a.m. in the 3600 block of West El Segundo Boulevard.

A woman was killed in a freak accident at a Kansas airfield after she backed into an active airplane propeller while taking photos.
Just before 3 p.m. the Sedgwick County dispatch received a report about an accident at Cook Airfield in Derby, Kansas, KAKE News first reported.
Derby is a city in Sedgwick County and is the largest suburb of Wichita.
When deputies arrived at the scene, they located a woman, believed to be in her 30s, who had been critically injured while taking photos of people getting on and off of planes when she backed into an active airplane propeller, KAKE reported.
The woman was transported to a local hospital in extremely critical condition, KAKE reported, where she later succumbed to her injuries.
Authorities are currently investigating the incident.
According to a GoFundMe page, the victim was identified as 37-year-old Amanda Gallagher.
“Amanda Gallagher was kind, adventurous, creative and beautiful inside and out. She was a loving daughter, sister, aunt and friend and will be greatly missed,” a statement on the page read.
“On October 26th, Amanda passed away in a very sad accident, doing what she loved, skydiving and taking pictures!,” the statement continued. “As her family processes through this tragic accident, they could use your help covering the funeral expenses. Please consider helping them out and also keeping them all in your prayers.”
Cook Airfield released a statement on Facebook, expressing their condolences to the family and friends of the victim.
“Our hearts go out to the family and friends of the young lady who died yesterday after a tragic accident with an airplane propeller on Cook Airfield. I wasn’t there when it happened, so I will not speculate on what could have or should have happened differently. Just please keep her family, her friends and her Air Capital Drop Zone family in your prayers and thoughts,” the statement read.
Fox News Digital reached out to the Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office for a statement but did not immediately receive a response.
A 36-year-old man who was on parole shot and killed his pregnant ex-wife and injured another during a carjacking in St. Paul, charges say.
He had been on parole since March after spending more than a decade in prison for shooting and killing a man in 2008. The man was on work release and living in a halfway home, but had been granted a pass to be at an apartment complex on Sycamore Street East to visit his ex-wife, according to court documents.
Around 9 p.m. that evening, police responded to a report of a shooting at the apartment complex; police found the woman, later identified as 35-year-old Damara Stowers lying on the bedroom floor. There were five 9mm shell casings in the room, and she was pronounced dead at 9:26 p.m. She was eight to nine weeks pregnant at the time, documents say.
Witnesses told police that a man had been visiting her regularly over the past month or two, charges say. The owner of the apartment complex said Stowers was in the process of being evicted. One of the residents of the apartment complex told officers that a man in a white shirt had ran south a minute after the gunshots were fired, documents say.
At 9:14 p.m., officers were called roughly two blocks away to 99 Acker Street on a report of a carjacking. A 26-year-old man was lying on the ground with a gunshot wound to his upper leg. Charges state that he told police through a Spanish translator that he parked his Audi in a parking lot after returning from the store with another man.
He was smoking a cigarette when a man wearing a white t-shirt and gray shorts approached him. The man said something to him in English that he did not understand, and then shot him, the victim said. He also attempted to shoot the other man, but missed, charges say. According to the charges, the man in the white shirt initially fled the scene, but returned and tole the Audi.
Charging documents say that the shooter then called a Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office employee to say he had just shot someone, and that he wanted to turn himself in. However, he did not do so.
He faces two second-degree murder charges, two counts of carjacking and two counts of assault. Stowers’ death marked the 23rd homicide in St. Paul this year.
Former President Trump blasted Vice President Kamala Harris Saturday over an appearance with Beyoncé at which critics say Harris and the media intentionally misled attendees into thinking the superstar would perform.
“Beyoncé went up and spoke for a couple of minutes and then left, and the place went crazy,” Trump told a crowd in Michigan. “They booed the hell out of everybody. They thought she was going to perform. What happened was my opponent got up and started speaking, and they booed the hell out of her. It’s crazy. They have to use people to get people to come, and then they send buses. We don’t send buses. Everybody comes. We’re just going to make America great again. It’s very simple.”
Several media outlets, including MSNBC, promoted Beyonce’s appearance with Harris in Houston on Friday by saying that the music superstar would perform, prompting criticism from conservatives who accused Harris of intentionally misleading the public. Beyoncé did speak, but she did not perform.
“They lied to build a crowd,” Trump senior adviser Tim Murtaugh posted on X.
“Promising a concert from a huge pop star who then did not perform is the most perfect metaphor for the Harris campaign that anyone could dream up, only it really happened,” Murtaugh added.
“Beyoncé really showed up at the rally only to speak for a few seconds and not perform, leaving Kamala Harris to be *booed* by her fans,” Red State writer Bonchie posted on X. “Watching this campaign operate is like watching a naked man smear himself in honey and run through a bear cage.”
“So will MSNBC and all the other outlets who ran with this burn their sources who falsely told them that Beyoncé would be performing at the Kamala rally?” author and journalist Jerry Dunleavy posted on X. “Or did they just make it up?”
Videos circulated on social media on Friday night appearing to show some of the 30,000 fans in attendance booing and becoming disgruntled though it was unclear what the specific reason was.
“The Beyoncé concert featuring Kamala has devolved into a total and complete disaster in which Kamala is barely audible on the feed,” an account run by the Trump campaign posted on X. “Humiliating!
The Harris-Walz campaign issued a press release on Saturday following Trump’s Michigan rally calling the former president “uhinged.”
“As Vice President Harris draws record crowds and bridges divides, Trump showed again today that he is too busy trying to divide our country to lead it,” Harris-Walz campaign spokesperson Sarafina Chitika.
“America can’t afford to let an unhinged and unchecked Complainer-in-Chief back into the White House to enact his revenge. While Trump adds to his enemies list, Vice President Harris is bringing voters together across party lines because she is focused on actually helping the American people as President.”
Beyoncé, whose hit song “Freedom” has been adopted by the vice president as her campaign trail anthem, spoke ahead of Harris and introduced her at the event, which leaned heavily into reproductive rights.
“It’s time for America to sing a new song,” Beyoncé said as she formally endorsed the vice president in her White House race against Trump. “Ladies and gentlemen, please give a big, loud, Texas welcome to the next President of the United States, Vice President Kamala Harris.”
And she emphasized that “I’m not here as a celebrity, I’m not here as a politician, I’m here as a mother. A mother who cares deeply about the world my children and all of our children live in. A world where we have the freedom to control our bodies.”
Two boys were killed at hayrides this month, offering a warning to parents about the potential dangers of the popular fall activity ahead of Halloween.
Samuel “Sam” Jessen, 12, of Ooltewah, Tennessee, was run over by a tractor along the Haunted Hilltop hayride route in Chattanooga, according to the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office.
Jessen hid in the bushes with his friends and tried to jump onto the trailer behind the tractor to scare its riders. He slipped and fell underneath the wheels. Police said he was found unresponsive.
“Please keep the Jessen family in your prayers during this super difficult time as well as our staff,” Haunted Hilltop wrote on its Facebook page.
Alexander “Xander” Mick of Rice, Minnesota, also 12 years old, was killed when he was run over by a wagon at the Harvest of Horror Haunted Hayride in St. Augusta over the same weekend, the Stearns County Sheriff’s Office said. Despite lifesaving efforts, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The sheriff’s office said Tuesday that it appeared Mick’s death was accidental and no one saw how it occurred. The boy was a volunteer at the event and was “part of a group whose job was to frighten riders being pulled through the cornfield area,” they said.
Harvest of Horror announced that it would cancel its remaining events for the 2024 season “out of respect for the family involved.”
“After this incident occurred, representatives of the Stearns County Sheriff’s Department and other emergency medical personnel reported to the scene. A member of the Sheriff’s Department initially instructed us to keep the event operating as usual so as to keep attendees away from the accident scene,” they wrote in a statement. “Sometime later we were instructed by a Sheriff’s deputy to begin turning away guests and closing down the event for the night. We complied with all of their instructions throughout the evening.”
“We are deeply shaken by this event and are asking for thoughts, prayers and support for the family and friends of the individual involved and all those affected by this tragedy,” they continued.
Both of the boys’ families launched GoFundMe initiatives to cover medical and funeral expenses.
Xander played the drums, was in a band, sang in the choir, participated in taekwondo and was “almost an Eagle scout,” according to his obituary.
“Xander was always so helpful, scientific, very techy, loved computers, was full of energy, had a great sense of humor and an infectious smile,” the obituary reads. “He loved Jesus with all his heart and shared that with others. Xander was kind, very polite, unique, creative, investigative, and saw the good in everyone. He always tried to be first to say, ‘Love you more.’ Xander was well known for his unique white hair, he could be spotted from a distance.”
Jessen, who was in seventh grade, was passionate about football, according to his obituary. The young quarterback aspired to play for the Kansas City Chiefs. He was also an “avid reader and incredible writer,” the obituary continues.
“Sam certainly had a zeal for life. It was infectious. His smile (along with his recently installed braces) lit up every room he was in,” the obituary reads. “Sam was feisty and fearless, but also compassionate and kind.”
Nationwide Children’s Hospital has several recommendations to keep kids safe on hayrides, according to its website.
The hospital recommends reading posted rules before riding and explaining them to your children. Staff members – including the person selling tickets, the one helping you board the wagon or trailer and the operator of the tractor – should be listened to closely.
Once riders have been seated, they should remain seated for the entire ride and hold onto any railings. Adults should hold onto their small children.
When you are not on the hayride, it is important to stay out of its path and to warn children not to do so either.
Finally, if you have any misgivings about the ride or its operator, trust your instincts and find another seasonal activity to do as a family, the hospital recommends.
