A 17-year-old girl has been arrested after authorities say she stabbed three competition horses with a pocketknife during a barrel racing event in Las Vegas. The incident occurred over the weekend at the South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa's equestrian center, where the National Barrel Horse Association was hosting a major competition. Police say the teenager, who was also competing in the event, had access to the barn area where the horses were being kept. According to investigators, three horses suffered multiple stab wounds. The animals were treated by an on-site veterinarian and are expected to make a full recovery. However, officials say the injuries will prevent them from competing in the immediate future. The suspect was booked on multiple charges, including animal maiming, animal torture, and malicious destruction of private property. Horse owners described discovering their injured animals in the early morning hours. One competitor said she returned to the barn and found her horse bleeding from multiple wounds. Other owners reported similar injuries to their horses, including one animal that had won its division just hours before the attack. The South Point Hotel called the incident unprecedented, noting that no horse had ever been intentionally injured by a contestant during more than two decades of hosting equestrian events. Police continue to investigate the motive behind the attacks. The teenager's identity has not been released because she is a minor.

Five American cruise ship passengers exposed to hantavirus during a deadly outbreak aboard a South Atlantic cruise have been released from a quarantine facility in Nebraska after remaining symptom-free for three weeks. U.S. health officials said the passengers will complete the remainder of their monitoring period at home. The group was transported to Nebraska under special biocontainment measures after concerns arose about possible exposure to the Andes strain of hantavirus, which can spread between people in rare cases. The outbreak has been linked to 13 confirmed cases and three deaths among passengers connected to the cruise. Health officials have closely monitored those who may have been exposed because the Andes virus differs from most hantavirus strains, which are typically spread through contact with infected rodent droppings. Despite the outbreak, federal health authorities say there have been no cases reported in the United States related to the cruise ship. Officials continue to emphasize that the risk to the general public remains low. The passengers released from quarantine showed no signs of illness during the monitoring period and were cleared to return home under continued observation. The outbreak has drawn international attention because of the rarity of person-to-person transmission involving the Andes virus and the extensive public health response that followed.

Authorities in Iowa are investigating a shooting spree that left seven people dead, including the suspected gunman, in what police believe was a series of attacks targeting family members. Police say 48-year-old Ryan Willis McFarland fatally shot six relatives at multiple locations in Muscatine before taking his own life when confronted by officers on Monday. The investigation began after officers responded to a home in Muscatine, where four people were found dead from gunshot wounds. As authorities searched for the suspect, two additional men believed to be related to McFarland were found fatally shot elsewhere in the city. Police later located McFarland on a trail in Muscatine. Authorities say he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound as officers attempted to take him into custody. Investigators have not released the names of the victims as they continue notifying family members and gathering evidence. Officials have also not disclosed a possible motive for the shootings. The Muscatine Police Department said the investigation remains active and is asking anyone with information related to the case to contact authorities. The shooting has shaken the eastern Iowa community as investigators work to piece together the timeline of what appears to have been a targeted attack involving multiple crime scenes across the city.

Deal with Iran Appears to Be Off the Table

End of Peace Talks?

WASHINGTON (AP) — An upcoming celebration of America's 250th anniversary, called "The Great American State Fair," has faced challenges as several musical guests backed out due in part to its connections to President Donald Trump. Organizers announced Saturday that Trump himself will now headline the event. The event is set to start June 25 on Washington's National Mall. Some artists, like Bret Michaels and Martina McBride, withdrew over concerns about the event's political ties. Others, including Flo Rida and Vanilla Ice, still plan to perform.

A woman and her friend get assaulted by a guy in New York City and decide she doesn't want to charge him because she "felt bad about putting another black man in jail". Maybe if she had reported him he wouldn't have pushed and killed an elderly man to his death in a NYC subway not long after. We know there is a time and a place for compassion, but this definitely wasn't one of them. ____ Two iconic talk radio hosts. One unfiltered daily conversation. No scripts. No spin.
