🔵 North Carolina Shooting
Citizen Frank
April 28, 2025
Good morning. It’s Monday, April 28.
One person was killed and six injured during an overnight shooting at Elizabeth City State University, a historically Black university in North Carolina.
The shooting took place in the early hours of Sunday morning at the center of campus following events for “Viking Fest,” a week of school spirit events, according to a statement from the university.
A 24-year-old man, who was not an Elizabeth City State University student, was killed, according to the statement. His identity is being withheld until his next of kin can be notified.
One person has died and multiple others were injured after a recreational boat collided with a ferry carrying 45 people in Clearwater, Florida, police told CNN.
The recreational boat fled the scene, but has been identified by another law enforcement agency, according to Rob Shaw, a public information officer for the Clearwater police.
Police said earlier that six people were declared as “trauma alerts,” two of whom were transported from the scene by helicopter and considered “seriously injured.” Shaw said one of the injured later died from injuries sustained in the collision.
The family of the mentally disturbed driver accused of killing at least 11 people at a Vancouver block party Saturday tried to get him help just hours before he allegedly plowed through the crowd of festival-goers, a report revealed Sunday as police identified the suspect as Kai-Ji Adam Lo.
Lo, a Vancouver resident whose brother was killed last year, is facing eight charges of second-degree murder so far after his alleged rampage at the Lapu Lapu Day festival — a celebration of the Filipino community – Saturday night, according to a report.
The 30-year-old was arrested at the scene by authorities and was “known” to law enforcement and mental health care professionals before he allegedly carried out his deadly attack, Vancouver police said.
The third human to receive a Neuralink brain implant, who also has non-verbal ALS, is now able to speak in his own voice thanks to the advancing technology combined with Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Brad Smith said in a video on X that even though having the disease “sucks,” he is happy, and God has answered his prayers and “life is good.” He also talked about his journey with ALS and the hope he was given after becoming the third human to receive a Neuralink brain transplant.
Neuralink, which was started by billionaire Elon Musk, said in a blog post in January that there are three people with Telepathy, including “Brad.”
The Trump administration has quietly been holding discussions and consulting outside experts as it considers options for potentially restarting dialogue with North Korea, a senior U.S. official and three additional sources familiar with those discussions tell Axios.
North Korea has made alarming nuclear advances since President Trump and Kim Jong-un held two dramatic but ultimately failed summits. While nothing appears imminent, Trump has made clear he’d like to reconnect with Kim — perhaps face-to-face — and his national security team is preparing for that scenario.
North Korea is relatively low on Trump’s priority list for now, but the world’s newest nuclear power rarely stays off the international agenda for long.
60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley called out CBS News’ parent company live on air on Sunday.
Pelley’s statement follows the abrupt resignation last week of Bill Owens, the show’s longtime executive producer, who said he had lost the freedom to run the show independently.
“Paramount began to supervise our content in new ways,” Pelley told viewers at the end of Sunday’s broadcast. “None of our stories has been blocked, but Bill felt he lost the independence that honest journalism requires.”
Meta’s AI-powered chatbots on Facebook and Instagram are able to engage in graphic sex talk with users, even children, with the voices of Disney characters and celebrities, according to a bombshell report.
AI using the personas of popular stars like John Cena, Kristen Bell, and Judi Dench were all capable of acting out sick fantasy chat with its users regardless of age, the Wall Street Journal found in tests of the software.
The Journal’s testing plumbed the depths that the chatbots would go, including having a fake version of Bell reprise her role as Anna from Disney’s “Frozen” to seduce a young boy, or having Cena play out losing his wrestling career over fictional sex with an underage girl.
