WINDSOR, N.C. (AP) — Inmates seized control of parts of a regional jail in eastern North Carolina on Monday after overpowering correctional staff, authorities said.
Three guards and 88 inmates were inside the Bertie-Martin Regional Detention Center in Windsor when the takeover occurred at about 5 a.m., prompting an immediate response from local, state and federal authorities, the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation said in a statement posted on social media.
There was no immediate threat to the general public, Bertie County Sheriff Tyrone Ruffin said in the statement. Windsor is about 120 miles (190 kilometers) east of Raleigh.
Inmates took two guards captive and the third guard escaped. Negotiations led to the release of 18 inmates and the two guards at about 9:30 a.m., the statement said. Another large group of inmates was released a short time later.
The statement said the two guards were released “without further injury,” but did not elaborate. Authorities have not specified how many people remain inside the facility.
Jail administrators and multiple law enforcement agencies were working toward a quick, peaceful resolution and restoration of full control of the jail.
“Our top priority is the safety of our staff, inmates, and the surrounding community,” Ruffin said.
A secure perimeter was established around the detention center and the public was asked to avoid the immediate area, Ruffin said.
SAN JOSE, California, June 28 (Reuters) - One person was killed and another seriously injured on Sunday in a shooting at a popular entertainment spot in San Jose, California, that has been hosting a World Cup "fan zone" screening matches, police said.
There were no World Cup games being screened at the time of the shooting, with the only match of the day in the tournament finishing around 2 p.m. local time (2100 GMT).
"One victim was pronounced deceased on scene. The second victim was transported to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries," San Jose police said in a post on social media platform X.
"This incident is being investigated as a homicide. Several surrounding streets are closed in the area."
The incident occurred at San Pedro Square, one of several places in the San Francisco Bay Area where huge crowds have gathered for lively "watch parties" showing World Cup matches on big screens.
The Bay Area has hosted five World Cup matches so far, with the last game a knockout match on Wednesday between Bosnia and co-hosts the United States.
A Reuters journalist at the scene saw a heavy police presence, multiple police vehicles and a person on a stretcher partially covered by a white sheet being rushed away from the area by people in uniforms.
The scene was cordoned off and most bars in the area were closed after the incident.
A security guard, who declined to be named because she was not authorised to speak to media, said she saw the injured person in distress.
"The person was still moaning and groaning. There was blood around his neck and upper back," she said. "Police were talking to security and a couple of witnesses."
There are several dozen fan zones across the Bay Area.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court is rejecting a push by President Donald Trump to throw out a jury’s $5 million finding that he sexually abused writer E. Jean Carroll at a New York City department store in the mid-1990s and later defamed her. Trump’s lawyers had challenged the judge’s decision to allow testimony from two other women who accused Trump of sexual abuse decades ago, allegations the Republican president has denied. Carroll’s lawyers urged the justices to pass on the case, arguing the lower-court decisions were in line with others around the country. The decision comes about two years after the court granted Trump broad immunity from criminal prosecution.
The Former 50th Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich, gives his take on Iran negotiations, the urgent need to keep the economy strong against socialist House gains, and the shocking anti-American radicalism sweeping the country after years of indoctrination.
Kurt Schlichter joined the discussion on growing division within the political left, criticism of socialist influence in the party, and backlash against leaders opposing deportations and the rollback of temporary protected status. The conversation emphasized restoring national sovereignty, enforcing immigration laws, and encouraging legal permanent status over temporary protections.

The Supreme Court has rejected a Republican-led challenge to state laws that allow some mail ballots to be counted after Election Day, leaving existing rules in place across more than half the country.
The decision preserves laws in more than 25 states and the District of Columbia that permit mailed ballots to arrive days after the election, as long as they are postmarked by Election Day.
The ruling spares election officials from making major changes to ballot-counting procedures just months before the 2026 midterm elections.
The legal challenge was part of a broader Republican effort, backed by President Donald Trump, to restrict mail voting. Trump has repeatedly argued that widespread mail voting increases the risk of fraud, despite years of election experience and court findings showing no evidence of widespread fraud.
President Trump says Iran has requested a meeting with the United States, and that the talks will take place tomorrow in Doha.
Trump made the announcement on Truth Social as both countries prepare to resume negotiations over tensions in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz.
The meeting comes after the U.S. and Iran agreed to halt recent strikes over the weekend, following days of escalating hostilities that threatened an interim agreement between the two countries.
