- 0:52Speaker 1: Chief Stacy Graves and Mayor Quentin Lucas addressed the tragedy
- 0:56Speaker 1: during a Wednesday night press.
- 0:58Speaker 2: Conference called de Truman and Bennington on an injury accident.
- 1:03Speaker 2: The victim had life threatening injuries and was transported by
- 1:06Speaker 2: ams to a local hospital. While being treated, medical personnel
- 1:11Speaker 2: discovered the victim was suffering from a gunshot wound. The
- 1:15Speaker 2: victim was declared deceased at the hospital.
- 1:18Speaker 1: Four other victims were located from the other scenes, three
- 1:21Speaker 1: adults and one juvenile teenager. One adult suffered life threatening injuries,
- 1:26Speaker 1: but all four are now stable. One survivor is an
- 1:30Speaker 1: uber driver who was taking fans to Kansas City Stadium
- 1:33Speaker 1: for a World Cup match. The shootings occurred eight miles
- 1:37Speaker 1: from the stadium, which hosts six matches this year, but
- 1:40Speaker 1: police say there are no known ties to the event.
- 1:43Speaker 1: On Thursday morning, police executed a search warrant at a
- 1:47Speaker 1: home near sixteenth in Kensington. They used extreme caution enclosed
- 1:52Speaker 1: surrounding roads in case Sanchez Munos was hiding inside. This
- 1:56Speaker 1: follows a Tuesday night stand off at a house in
- 1:58Speaker 1: the seven hundred block of Side Avenue in Independence, where
- 2:02Speaker 1: police stayed throughout Wednesday. After police surrounded it. A fire
- 2:06Speaker 1: started inside around twelve forty four am Wednesday, which firefighters extinguished.
- 2:12Speaker 1: Investigators spent Wednesday afternoon gathering evidence carrying bags from the
- 2:16Speaker 1: house while keeping the street closed. Chief Graves noted that
- 2:20Speaker 1: investigators believe Sanchez Munos is likely hiding and urged the
- 2:24Speaker 1: public to help locate him. Detectives haven't identified a motive,
- 2:28Speaker 1: but they remain hot on this trail.
- 2:30Speaker 2: We are hot on the trail of the subject, and
- 2:33Speaker 2: we want to make sure that he's taken Intussius as possible.
- 2:36Speaker 2: It is up to the public and the Cansimersury please
- 2:38Speaker 2: farm in all our local partners to make sure that
- 2:40Speaker 2: we get him in the cusi as soon as we can.
- 2:41Speaker 1: Anyone who sees Sanchez Munos is urged to call nine
- 2:45Speaker 1: one one immediately. More crime and justice news after this
- 2:53Speaker 1: The legal battle over the assassination of a healthcare executive
- 2:56Speaker 1: is shifting. Attorneys for Luigi Mangioni will present and a
- 3:00Speaker 1: psychiatric defense at his state murder trial this fall, arguing
- 3:04Speaker 1: he killed United Healthcare chief executive Brian Thompson while suffering
- 3:08Speaker 1: an extreme emotional disturbance. At a hearing Wednesday, Judge Gregory
- 3:12Speaker 1: Carro stated he plans to unseal records regarding this defense,
- 3:16Speaker 1: where a defendant admits to the conduct but argues they
- 3:19Speaker 1: aren't fully liable due to a mental health episode. Experts
- 3:23Speaker 1: say this defense is challenging, but represents Mangioni's best option
- 3:27Speaker 1: given the strong evidence. Last month, Carl cleared prosecutors to
- 3:31Speaker 1: present crucial evidence tying Mangoni to the crime scene and
- 3:35Speaker 1: his potential motive. An earlier hearing had been sealed to
- 3:38Speaker 1: prevent prejudice if the defense abandoned the strategy. However, on Wednesday,
- 3:43Speaker 1: Assistant District Attorney Joel Siedeman accused the defense of stonewalling
- 3:47Speaker 1: by withholding details. Carl ordered the defense to turn over
- 3:51Speaker 1: their psychiatric expert's name in the basis of their argument
- 3:54Speaker 1: by Thursday. The judge warned that further delays could preclude
- 3:57Speaker 1: Mangioni from using the defense at his trial, slated for September.
- 4:01Speaker 1: Mangioni is pleaded not guilty to state murder and weapons
- 4:04Speaker 1: charges in the December twenty twenty four fatal shooting of
- 4:07Speaker 1: Thompson outside a midtown Manhattan hotel. On Wednesday, Carl also
- 4:12Speaker 1: dropped a weapons count stemming from a loaded magazine and
- 4:14Speaker 1: found in Mangioni's backpack during his Pennsylvania arrest in May.
- 4:19Speaker 1: The judge ruled that magazine inadmissible due to an improper
- 4:22Speaker 1: police search at an Altoona McDonald's. Mangioni also faces federal
- 4:26Speaker 1: stocking charges, to which he pleaded not guilty. Defenses are
- 4:30Speaker 1: limited because Carl previously allowed prosecutors to introduce the alleged
- 4:34Speaker 1: murder weapon in writings expressing animosity toward the healthcare industry
- 4:38Speaker 1: in a desire to kill the CEO. Under New York law,
- 4:42Speaker 1: if an extreme emotional disturbance defense succeeds by a preponderance
- 4:46Speaker 1: of evidence, the charge drops from murder to manslaughter, reducing
- 4:49Speaker 1: a potential life sentence to a maximum of twenty five years.
- 4:54Speaker 1: A chilling domestic terror plot targeting last weekend's UFC event
- 4:58Speaker 1: at the White House has been on covered involving explosively
- 5:02Speaker 1: in drones, snipers, and an online network aiming to spark
- 5:05Speaker 1: a violent revolution. According to federal court records, nineteen year
- 5:09Speaker 1: old Tyson Proper of Ohio faces severe federal charges including
- 5:14Speaker 1: conspiracy to commit an offense against the United States, attempted
- 5:18Speaker 1: murder of a US officer or employee, possession of a
- 5:21Speaker 1: firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence, in the
- 5:24Speaker 1: transfer of a firearm used to commit a felony. The
- 5:27Speaker 1: charges stem from an alleged plot targeting the June fourteenth
- 5:31Speaker 1: UFC event held on the White House South Lawn, which
- 5:34Speaker 1: was attended by President Donald Trump and other high ranking
- 5:37Speaker 1: government officials. An FBI affidavit filed by Task Force officer
- 5:42Speaker 1: Christopher Betts reveals that authorities first became aware of the
- 5:46Speaker 1: imminent threat on June tenth, after Propper's mother contacted law
- 5:50Speaker 1: enforcement out of concern over her son's recent behavior. Propper's
- 5:54Speaker 1: father told responding officers that the teenager had recently connected
- 5:58Speaker 1: with extremists online, purchased multiple firearms, body armour, and other
- 6:03Speaker 1: tactical equipment, and planned to leave home that weekend to
- 6:06Speaker 1: meet members of the group. The family voluntarily surrendered the
- 6:10Speaker 1: weapons and gear to authorities. Investigators later recovered photographs on
- 6:14Speaker 1: the teen's phone showing large quantities of ammunition, two plate
- 6:18Speaker 1: carriers loaded with AR style magazines, an AR style rifle,
- 6:22Speaker 1: and a bullpup rifle painted with an American flag. The
- 6:26Speaker 1: affadavit states that Proper was subsequently transported to a local
- 6:29Speaker 1: hospital for emergency admission based on what investigators described as
- 6:33Speaker 1: homicidal ideation. In interviews with investigators, Proper's mother alleged she
- 6:38Speaker 1: had recently become involved with an online group made up
- 6:41Speaker 1: of individuals who claimed to be former military members and
- 6:44Speaker 1: promoted extreme religious and anti government beliefs. Proper admitted to
- 6:49Speaker 1: investigators that members initially connected through a TikTok group called
- 6:53Speaker 1: Vanguard of the Old before moving their conversations to the
- 6:56Speaker 1: encrypted app signal. The group believed that the US was
- 6:59Speaker 1: headed in the wrong direction and needed to be torn
- 7:02Speaker 1: down so it could be rebuilt. Proper allegedly admitted to
- 7:05Speaker 1: helping plan the attack, stating that members intended to meet
- 7:08Speaker 1: in Fredericksburg, Virginia, before traveling to Washington. According to the complaint,
- 7:13Speaker 1: the group planned to stage a distraction demonstration on the
- 7:16Speaker 1: north side of the White House while drones carrying explosive
- 7:19Speaker 1: devices detonated over the event venue. The explosions were intended
- 7:23Speaker 1: to force attendees in high value targets to flee south,
- 7:26Speaker 1: where armed members of the group planned to open fire.
- 7:29Speaker 1: Proper stated this attack was designed to jumpstart a revolution.
- 7:33Speaker 1: Signal chats containing nineteen participants revealed discussions of sniper positions,
- 7:38Speaker 1: drone launched locations, escape routes, a potential safe house, and
- 7:41Speaker 1: targets within Congress. While the complaint describes a plan involving
- 7:45Speaker 1: explosive drones, it does not allege that investigators actually recovered
- 7:49Speaker 1: explosives The Associated Press reports that a multi state operation
- 7:53Speaker 1: has resulted in five arrests across Ohio, Missouri, and California.
- 7:57Speaker 1: FBI Director Cash Bettel stated on x that the planned
- 8:00Speaker 1: attacks were stopped cold and proper is scheduled for a
- 8:03Speaker 1: detention hearing Wednesday. A horrific cruise ship investigation has taken
- 8:09Speaker 1: a major turn as a teenage suspect is finally in
- 8:12Speaker 1: federal custody. On Monday, sixteen year old Timothy Hudson surrendered
- 8:17Speaker 1: to U S Marshals. According to court documents, The surrender
- 8:21Speaker 1: was ordered by Judge Edwin Torres, coming exactly one week
- 8:25Speaker 1: after prosecutors moved to revoke the teenager's pre trial release.
- 8:30Speaker 1: Hudson faces adult charges of murder and aggravated sexual abuse
- 8:34Speaker 1: for the November twenty twenty five death of his eighteen
- 8:37Speaker 1: year old stepsister, Anna Keepner aboard the Carnival Cruise Line
- 8:41Speaker 1: vessel The Horizon. The tragedy occurred during their family's first
- 8:45Speaker 1: blended vacation following the marriage of Hudson's mother, Chantelle Hudson,
- 8:50Speaker 1: to Anna's father, Christopher Kepner. According to court filings, Anna
- 8:54Speaker 1: was last seen returning to the state room. She shared
- 8:57Speaker 1: with Hudson and her fourteen year old half brother. On
- 9:00Speaker 1: the night of November sixth, she was found dead under
- 9:03Speaker 1: her bed. The next morning, the Miami Dade Medical Examiner's
- 9:07Speaker 1: Office determined her cause of death to be mechanical asphyxiation
- 9:11Speaker 1: due to homicide. Here's how the evidence stacks up against
- 9:14Speaker 1: step brother Timothy Hudson. Prosecutor state one vaginal swab was
- 9:19Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty six tillion times more likely to
- 9:22Speaker 1: match Hudson than a stranger. A second swab was one
- 9:25Speaker 1: point two septillian times more likely to match him. Additionally,
- 9:29Speaker 1: CCTV and phone data show Kepner entering their shared cabin
- 9:33Speaker 1: in never leaving. Even worse, her phone's location data mirrored
- 9:37Speaker 1: Hudson's movements right before it was found smashed in a
- 9:40Speaker 1: trash bin. Initially, Hudson was released to a family member
- 9:44Speaker 1: without bail following a February sixth appearance in US District
- 9:48Speaker 1: Court for the Southern District of Florida. Because he was
- 9:51Speaker 1: charged as a miner at that time, the Juvenile Detention
- 9:54Speaker 1: Act protected him from pre trial detention. However, prosecutors have
- 9:58Speaker 1: since indicted him as an adult, prompting Judge Torres to
- 10:02Speaker 1: reverse his decision. In his written order, Judge Torres stated
- 10:06Speaker 1: that the prosecution's case for forcible rape is beyond clear
- 10:10Speaker 1: and convincing, adding that Hudson's behavior suggests a level of
- 10:14Speaker 1: psychopathy and lack of remorse that by itself raises a
- 10:18Speaker 1: serious concern that he can snap at any time. The
- 10:21Speaker 1: judge concluded that Hudson presents a clear danger to himself
- 10:25Speaker 1: and others. Hudson's long awaited arrest answers the pleas of
- 10:30Speaker 1: a devastated family. In February, Hudson's mother and Anna's father
- 10:34Speaker 1: released a joint statement expressing their outrage over his initial release,
- 10:39Speaker 1: stating it was deeply painful and disturbing that the person
- 10:42Speaker 1: responsible was able to walk freely while they lived with
- 10:45Speaker 1: the loss of their child. Hudson now remains detained. A
- 10:50Speaker 1: historic night of celebration in New York City turned into
- 10:53Speaker 1: absolute chaos as a long awaited championship victory devolved into
- 10:57Speaker 1: a night of gunfire stabbings in widespread rins. Officers responded
- 11:01Speaker 1: to a shooting at approximately two to one am early
- 11:04Speaker 1: Sunday morning near forty second Street and Broadway. A seventeen
- 11:08Speaker 1: year old male was shot once in the left foot.
- 11:10Speaker 2: Due to the.
- 11:11Speaker 1: Massive unruly crowds, responding ambulances could not access the scene,
- 11:15Speaker 1: forcing NYPD officers to transport the bleeding teenager to Bellevue
- 11:18Speaker 1: Hospital themselves. He remains there in stable condition. Three persons
- 11:23Speaker 1: of interest were immediately taken into custody, and a firearm
- 11:26Speaker 1: was recovered at the scene. The violence erupted just hours
- 11:29Speaker 1: after the next defeated the San Antonio Spurs ninety four
- 11:32Speaker 1: to ninety in Game five of the NBA Finals down
- 11:35Speaker 1: in Texas. Even though the franchise's first NBA title since
- 11:38Speaker 1: nineteen seventy three was clinched thousands of miles away, the
- 11:42Speaker 1: NYPD maintained a massive presence around Madison Square Garden ahead
- 11:46Speaker 1: of the game. New York City Mayor Zoorn Mamdani urged
- 11:49Speaker 1: fans on social media to celebrate responsibly, writing look out
- 11:53Speaker 1: for one another and make this a night that reflects
- 11:55Speaker 1: the very best of our city. Those calls for peace
- 11:58Speaker 1: were utterly ignored. Social media video showed individuals jumping onto
- 12:02Speaker 1: the roof of an NYPD patrol vehicle and smashing its windshield.
- 12:06Speaker 1: Flames erupted from a school bus that was intentionally lit
- 12:09Speaker 1: on fire on forty second Street near Eighth Avenue. The
- 12:12Speaker 1: total of five school buses were set ablaze or completely
- 12:15Speaker 1: destroyed by rioters wielding baseball bats. These buses were actively
- 12:19Speaker 1: being used to transport people from Manhattan to MetLife Stadium
- 12:23Speaker 1: for the World Cup Games. Amid the unfolding madness, multiple
- 12:26Speaker 1: personal vehicles were destroyed, Rioters let dangerous fireworks directly inside
- 12:31Speaker 1: tightly packed crowds, and individuals scaled light poles, traffic lights,
- 12:35Speaker 1: and construction scaffolding. As massive brawls broke out, the NYPD
- 12:39Speaker 1: executed sixty three arrests. The laundry list of charges includes
- 12:43Speaker 1: assault on a police officer, criminal possession of a weapon,
- 12:46Speaker 1: criminal mischief, disorderly conduct, resisting arrests, an obstruction of governmental administration.
- 12:52Speaker 1: The toll on law enforcement was also heavy. Ten members
- 12:55Speaker 1: of the NYPD were injured during the riots, including one
- 12:58Speaker 1: officer who was punched square in the face and another
- 13:01Speaker 1: who was struck by a glass bottle. For the latest
