Cat rescued from commercial freezer in Youngstown

Kali the cat was found in a locked freezer at a Youngstown gas station. It is now in safe hands at Animal Charity.
Animal Charity believes the cat's owner is the same as the owner of a dog named Koda, which was shot in the neck and paralyzed. The dog was in the hospital for several days, and Animal Charity spent $15,000 saving her life.
'The investigation is looking into the fact that the animal was put into the freezer and abandoned there and also the safety aspect of an animal being shot and then not subsequently receiving veterinary care,' said Jane MacMurchy with Animal Charity.
Animal Charity is taking donations to help meet those expenses. It's also hoping the owner of both animals will face criminal charges.

Man shot and killed after standoff at Mercer County hotel, police say
A man was shot and killed after a standoff at a hotel in Mercer County on Thursday, Pennsylvania State Police said. Police said they went to the Park Inn by Radisson off Route 18 in Shenango Township on Thursday afternoon to serve a warrant to 45-year-old Tyrell Askerneese of Farrell, CBS affiliate WKBN reported. Troopers said Askerneese was armed and refused to surrender peacefully. The Mercer County Crisis Intervention Response Team was called to help and took over the scene after troopers tried multiple tactics over several hours but couldn't get Askerneese to surrender, the TV station said. The standoff ended about three hours later when Askerneese was shot and killed, WKBN reported. A woman staying at the hotel told the TV station that she wasn't allowed to leave until the incident was over. Pennsylvania State Police are investigating the shooting. No other information was immediately available. It was the second police shooting that troopers responded to on Thursday. Across the state in northeastern Pennsylvania, two troopers were shot and the suspect was killed after what Commissioner Col. Christopher Paris called an "ambush." Police said 61-year-old Carmine Faino shot and killed his neighbor, 57-year-old Lori Wasko, outside her home in Thompson Township, Susquehanna County, before police responded. Investigators said police shot and killed Faino, who was armed with a rifle and refused to comply. The two troopers shot, Joseph Perechinsky and William Jenkins, were flown to hospitals and are in stable condition. Paris said he had met with both and they were in good spirits.

Library temporarily adjusts hours following security incident
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) — The Public Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County announced Monday that it will temporarily adjust the hours at one of its branches following an internal review of security measures after an incident two weeks ago. As a follow-up to the security incident involving a person with a sword that occurred on July 25, the Michael Kusalaba Library will temporarily operate under adjusted hours to ensure 'enhanced staffing' during peak times. The updated schedule is as follows: Monday & Tuesday: 9 a.m. – 8 p.m. Wednesday – Saturday: 9 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. This temporary change is intended to increase staff presence during high-traffic periods, according to a release from the library. At this time, the duration of the updated schedule has yet to be determined. 'PLYMC will evaluate the effectiveness of these revised hours and decide on their continuation later,' the library release states. The library says it will also conduct a comprehensive, system-wide security review across all locations. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Watchdog appoints interim managers for troubled charity linked to Carrie Johnson
A watchdog has appointed interim managers to take over the running of an animal charity linked to Boris Johnson's wife. The Aspinall Foundation is facing an investigation by the Charity Commission after it raised 'serious concerns' about the charity's 'governance and financial management'. Founded in 1984, it runs breeding sanctuaries for endangered animals as well as operating the Howletts and Port Lympne animal parks in Kent, which were set up by gambling club host and animal enthusiast John Aspinall. Carrie Johnson was appointed head of communications for the foundation in 2021. The same year, it emerged that the charity paid more than £150,000 to the wife of the chairman of the trustees for 'interior design services'. The Charity Commission's interim managers – appointed in May this year – will also review whether any trustees or their family members have received any benefit from the charity. A spokesperson for the regulator said: 'Our inquiry into The Aspinall Foundation is ongoing. 'Towards the end of last year, fresh issues of concern were identified requiring us to embark on a further phase of investigation and our investigators are working hard to pursue these at pace. 'The Commission has now appointed interim managers to The Aspinall Foundation who will work alongside the existing trustees on specific areas in line with the charity's governing document.' The foundation has been approached for comment.
