After Boulder attack, Los Angeles mayor calls emergency meeting to discuss police patrols at houses of worship
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass on Sunday night called for an emergency meeting to discuss law enforcement strategies during the fallout of what the FBI called a "targeted act of violence" in Colorado over the weekend. In a statement posted to X, Bass called for extra police patrols at places of worship and community centers across L.A. "Anti-Semitism will not be tolerated in this city," she said. On Sunday, a man is accused of using a "makeshift flamethrower" and Molotov cocktails to attack a peaceful march in support of Israeli hostages at the Pearl Street Mall in Boulder, a popular outdoor pedestrian area lined with shops and restaurants. The aftermath of an alleged act of terror that left eight people injured during a march in support of Israeli hostages in Boulder, Colorado on Sunday, June 1, 2025. CBS The Boulder Police Department said eight people were injured in the attack. The FBI identified the suspect as 45-year-old Mohamed Sabry Soliman, who allegedly yelled "Free Palestine" as he conducted the attack. CBS Colorado reported Sunday that Soliman is an Egyptian national and could be living in the U.S. on an expired visa. At least one person was in serious condition as of Sunday night, per authorities. The age range of the victims was 52 to 88, police said. The 88-year-old victim is a Holocaust refugee who fled Europe, CBS Colorado reports. The attack came on the first evening of the Jewish holiday Shavuot, which runs until Tuesday. Bass on Sunday night said the emergency meeting at L.A. City Hall will take place immediately after the holiday. The mayor also stated that the LAPD would conduct extra patrols in areas such as "houses of worship and community centers" in light of the attack. "What happened in Boulder, Colorado today — an especially brutal targeting of elders — is an atrocious affront to the very fabric of our society and our beliefs here in Los Angeles," she said.

Salem, Oregon stabbing: 11 hurt following report of stabbing victims at homeless shelter, suspect in custody
Crime PovertyFacebookTweetLink Follow Eleven people were taken to a hospital and a man was in custody following a report of multiple stabbing victims at a men's homeless shelter in Salem, Oregon, a police spokesperson said. Police were called out at about 7:15 p.m. Sunday to the Union Gospel Mission, Angela Hedrick of the Salem Police Department said in a statement. She said the victims suffered 'varying types of injuries' and that their status was unknown. Hedrick released no more details as detectives investigate. Executive Director Craig Smith told NBC News late Sunday that the attacker was new to the mission, having spent Saturday night there, and was about to check in for a second night when he got into a fight. 'Something … set him off, and he evidently had a knife in his bag,' Smith said. The altercation happened right before the man would have handed over his belongings to staff, and at least one staffer, who was working the mission's check-in desk, was injured in the attack, Smith said. Messages seeking comment were left with the hospital and at the mission, where up to 150 homeless men seek refuge each night, according to its website.

Kaplan Fox Alerts Investors of a Securities Class Action Deadline Against Ibotta, Inc. (IBTA) on June 16, 2025
NEW YORK, NY - June 2, 2025 ( NEWMEDIAWIRE ) - Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Ibotta, Inc. ('Ibotta' or the 'Company') (NYSE: IBTA) on behalf of Ibotta investors. CLICK HERE TO JOIN THE CASE If you are an investor in Ibotta and have suffered losses, you may CLICK HERE to contact us. You may also contact Kaplan Fox by emailing [email protected] or by calling (646) 315-9003. DEADLINE REMINDER: If you are a member of the proposed Class, you may move the court no later than June 16, 2025 to serve as a lead plaintiff for the purported class. If you have losses we encourage you to contact us to learn more about the lead plaintiff process. Ibotta purports to be a technology company that allows consumer packaged goods brands to deliver digital promotions to consumers through the Ibotta Performance Network. On April 18, 2024, Ibotta conducted its Initial Public Offering ('IPO'), offering 6,560,700 million shares of Class A common stock at a price of $88 per share. The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that; (i) Ibotta's data measurement system did not provide accurate, precise, and real time client campaign and consumer data measurement; (ii) the Company's business mix had shifted and was generating less revenue; and (iii) Ibotta had 'exhausted' its clients' budgets, negatively impacting fourth quarter 2024 revenue and expected first quarter 2025 revenue. According to the action, on February 26, 2025, after market hours, in connection with reporting fourth quarter 2024 and full year 2024 financial results, Ibotta's CEO Bryan W. Leach ('CEO Leach') explained just how deficient Ibotta's data measurement technology was by stating that 'it has become clear that we need to bring to market a more rigorous form of measurement that goes beyond the industry standard return on ad spend, or ROAS, framework.' Further CEO Leach allegedly announced that Ibotta would transform into a programmatic advertising company, which according to the complaint demonstrates that, at the time of the IPO, Ibotta's data measurement infrastructure was not suited for heavy reliance on third party platforms. On this news, the price of Ibotta's stock fell $29.08, or nearly 46%, to close at $34.09 on February 27, 2025, more than 60% lower than the IPO price of $88 per share.
