Tornadoes In Illinois & Indiana Leave Residents Grappling With Damage; Cleanup Efforts Underway

Residents in tornado-ravaged areas in Illinois and Indiana are grappling with damage to their homes and neighborhoods after a strong line of storms barreled through communities south of Chicago. Cleanup efforts were underway Friday and officials were assessing the damage. Dozens of buildings were damaged and scores of trees and power lines were downed. Several hundred thousand customers are without power and dozens of flights at Chicago airports have been canceled or delayed. There were no reports of any deaths from Thursday's storms, although several people were treated for minor injuries. Tornado damage was reported in Merrillville and Hebron, Indiana, as well as in Streator, Illinois.

Police Arrest Suspect In Shooting At Ohio Festival That Wounded 12

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Police in Ohio have arrested a suspect in a shooting that wounded 12 people at a crowded neighborhood street festival last weekend. Eljay Crisp-Carr, 20, was taken into custody Thursday and charged with 11 counts of felonious assault. Court documents do not list an attorney for him and no one answered a call to a phone number associated with him Friday morning. The gunfire broke out Saturday during the Old West End Festival in Toledo at a park filled with tents, music and food trucks in a neighborhood dotted with Victorian homes. Police said a fight between rival groups apparently escalated into two people shooting at each other, although they were not among the wounded. In a criminal complaint filed in Toledo Municipal Court, a detective described video showing Crisp-Carr participating in the fight. After another man started shooting, Crisp-Carr moved away from the group but then turned and opened fire, the detective wrote. He was seen firing indiscriminately into the crowd, the detective wrote. The detective said she used witness statements, social media and law enforcement photos to identify Crisp-Carr. Authorities have issued an arrest warrant for the other suspect, Ka Nye Taylor, but he hasn't been caught. Phone numbers for Taylor or his family members were not available or found in online directories. Hundreds of people were attending the annual festival in a historic district of Toledo, a city on the western edge of Lake Erie about 55 miles (90 kilometers) southwest of Detroit. Organizers canceled the event’s second day because of the shooting. The violence sent terrified bystanders fleeing while others rushed to help the injured alongside medics and police. The victims ranged from teenagers to one person in their 60s. At a news conference Tuesday, the police chief and other city officials praised officers and good Samaritans who quickly offered help to the victims. “We saw strangers who were shocked and frightened by the violence they just saw, they jumped into action,” said Chief of Fire and Rescue Allison Armstrong. “They helped others by placing tourniquets, dressing wounds, applying pressure and comforting those victims until additional help could arrive.”

Judge Denies Kennedy Center Request For Pause In Ruling Ordering Trump's Name Removed From Building

WASHINGTON (AP) — A judge has denied a request from the Kennedy Center to pause a ruling ordering President Donald Trump's name removed from building. That denial came Friday. U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper ruled last month that Trump’s name was illegally added to the iconic Washington performing arts facility. Cooper ruled only Congress could institute a change to the Kennedy Center’s name and ordered references to Trump to be removed by Friday. Now he's refused the Kennedy's Center board's request to stay the ruling.

Big Concern Raised About Iran Deal

With the United States apparently on the verge of a war-ending deal with Iran, U.S. Senator LINDSEY GRAHAM (R-S.C.) is warning he needs to see the small print: “I love President Trump and usually back him 100%. I hope and pray this is a good deal, but if it isn’t—or it threatens Israel’s security—I’m going to say so.” U.S. House of Representatives Speaker MIKE JOHNSON (R-LA) pulls back the curtain on how Democrats in the Senate are trying to engineer another government shutdown prior to the Midterms, and also looks at the critical need to reauthorize FISA. U.S. Senator RICK SCOTT (R-FL) focuses on Affordability, maintaining that “Government has destroyed the value of the U.S. Dollar and the only way to fix that is to slash regulations and balance the Federal budget.” Alabama Attorney General STEVE MARSHALL is demanding the EPA step in to stop material from chemical abortion pills from being dumped into wastewater and seeping into our drinking supply…which could have devastating effects on women who are trying to become pregnant. And TONY PERKINS’ commentary zeroes-in on SN 9316 in the New York State Senate which would replace the word “mother” in Family Law with “gestating parent” as the Left further erodes society’s understanding of God’s design. All coming up on our latest edition of THIS WEEK ON CAPITOL HILL with Tony Perkins, sponsored by AARP.

Judge Rules Trump Can Stage UFC Fights On White House's South Lawn This Weekend

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge has refused to stop the White House from staging a UFC show this weekend in an elaborate ring already built on the South Lawn to celebrate the nation’s 250th anniversary — on President Donald Trump’s 80th birthday. U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta ruled Friday that organizers can use the White House lawn as the venue for Sunday’s planned UFC mixed martial arts event. The nonprofit Public Integrity Project sued to challenge Trump’s UFC Freedom 250 event. The White House calls the lawsuit baseless, saying it's no different from many other events hosted at public forums in the capital.

Can We Trust Iran? Probably Not

Lawyers For Man Accused Of Killing Charlie Kirk Try To Block Prosecutors From Seeking Death Penalty

PROVO, Utah (AP) — Attorneys for the man accused of killing Charlie Kirk asked a judge Friday to block prosecutors from seeking the death penalty as punishment for comments they made in the media about a bullet fragment recovered from Kirk’s body. The comments were made in response to speculation that the bullet fragment could exonerate defendant Tyler Robinson. Conjecture over the evidence in Kirk’s killing has fueled unsubstantiated conspiracy theories that there might have been a second shooter or that his death was staged. Prosecutors have said they intend to seek the death penalty if Robinson is convicted. The 23-year-old from southwestern Utah is charged with aggravated murder in the Sept. 10 killing of Kirk, a conservative activist who was shot in the neck while addressing a crowd of thousands at Utah Valley University. Robinson has not yet entered a plea. Robinson’s attorneys accused prosecutors of going on a “media tour” to discuss expert reports about the bullet fragment, violating the judge's restrictions against speaking about the case outside court. Prosecutors countered that they had a right to speak to the press to correct misinformation about a preliminary finding by ballistics experts. Those experts' initial tests did not match the bullet fragment with a gun that investigators believe was used to kill Kirk. In court filings, defense attorneys made public a federal agency's failure to conclusively link the bullet fragment with the rifle. They said it appeared to be “exculpatory evidence” — information that tends to absolve a defendant of guilt — without noting that the finding was preliminary and that further testing was planned. That spurred stories by some publications raising questions about the prosecution's case: A March 30 headline in the U.K.-based Daily Mail reported that the bullet that killed Kirk “did NOT match” the rifle investigators say was used to kill Kirk. Authorities have said DNA consistent with Robinson’s was found on the trigger of the rifle, the fired cartridge casing, two unfired cartridges and a towel used to wrap the rifle. “The rules expressly allow lawyers to set the record straight,” Deputy Utah County Attorney Christopher Ballard wrote in a court filing. Ballard argued Friday that he didn't speak to the media about case specifics and only spoke generally about how ballistics testing can be inconclusive. He said his goal “was to respond to the substantial undue prejudicial effect of the media stories.” Defense attorney Richard Novak disagreed, saying Ballard did not speak to the media using general terms and tried to “influence public perception” of the case. “What was going on here was an attempt to influence the jury pool,” Novak argued. State District Judge Tony Graf said he will issue his decision about the contempt allegation on June 22. Earlier Friday, Graf declined a defense request to halt the proceedings while they appeal a June 1 order in which the judge declined to bar cameras from the courtroom. The ruling comes ahead of a key hearing scheduled to begin July 6, when prosecutors must show they have enough evidence to warrant a trial. That would mark the most significant presentation of evidence to date in the case, which has so far focused on matters of media access. Before Friday's hearing, the defense team pointed to another criminal case in which prosecutors were accused of contempt and suggested that one potential remedy would be to bar the state from seeking the death penalty. While the judge in that earlier case disagreed that an order barring the death penalty was merited, Robinson’s attorneys noted that “the court did not conclude that such a remedy was beyond its authority where the facts support it.”
