According to authorities, on Aug. 3., at around 9:40 a.m., 54-year-old Paul Varnado shot and killed his 54-year-old girlfriend, Alanna Singleton, at her home before killing himself, WAFB, 4WWL and WBRZ reported, citing court records. The courts had recently enacted a protective order that said Varnado had to stay at least 100 yards away from Singleton after he threw her down a flight of stairs during a fight on June 24, per the local outlets. Authorities said their fight started after Varnado accused Singleton of having his car keys and cellphone, 4WWL reported, citing court records. An arrest affidavit detailed that Singleton was left bleeding and severely bruised after the fight. Varnado was arrested that day for domestic abuse battery, booked and then released after signing a protective order. But despite the court order, Varnado continued to contact Singleton upon release, the local outlets reported, citing authorities. This marked the second time Singleton had filed a restraining order against Varnado in recent months. A previous order was issued in March and dropped on May 14, per WAFB.

Ryan Walters' TV may have been tuned into 1985 Jackie Chan movie, Oklahoma lawmaker says
Oklahoma House Speaker Kyle Hilbert says he believes a 1985 movie starring Jackie Chan might have been what was showing on a television set in state schools Superintendent Ryan Walters during a closed session held as part of last month's state Board of Education meeting. Hilbert said on Tuesday, Aug. 5 that he believes "The Protector" was on the TV when two board members said they saw nude women on the screen. Their reports have gained national attention and prompted an investigation by the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office. Hilbert said he does not believe the movie was shown on purpose by Walters or his staff or as part of a conspiracy to target him. "In my opinion, the most plausible explanation for what occurred that day is that the television, which had only been in the superintendent's office for fewer than two months, automatically launched Samsung's free streaming service and began playing a film that contained explicit content, without anyone in the room realizing it at the time," Hilbert said. The sheriff's office confirmed its investigation of the incident is ongoing. (This story is developing and will be updated.)

Donald Trump Says He'd Use National Guard Or Military To Keep 2028 Olympics Safe
President Donald Trump told reporters on Tuesday that 'we would do anything necessary to keep our Olympics safe, including using our National Guard or military.' Trump made the comments after he signed an executive order establishing a task force on the 2028 games, a group that includes cabinet secretaries and administration officials, including FCC Chairman Brendan Carr. More from Deadline Robert Thompson, CEO Of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp, Jabs Donald Trump For Backing "Blatant Theft" By AI: "The Art Of The Deal Has Become The Art Of The Steal" FoxLA Anchor Elex Michaelson Is Leaving Station Thousands Of Writers Sign WGA Open Letter Slamming Trump's "Unprecedented, Authoritarian Assault" On Free Press Trump's comment about using the National Guard or military follows his dispatch of troops to Los Angeles in response to protests of ICE raids. His decision to federalize the guard was opposed by California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who said that the show of federal force inflamed the situation. At a White House event establishing the task force, the chair of the Olympic organizing committee, Casey Wasserman, had nothing but praise for the president, including his assistance during his first term in ensuring that Los Angeles was selected as host city. Wasserman compared the process of organizing events to producing 'seven Super Bowls a day for 30 days.' The city will host about 11,000 Olympic athletes and 4,500 Paralympic athletes, participating in 800 competitions at 49 venues. He also said that for the first time, the Olympic torch relay will pass through all 50 states. Trump undoubtedly would like to put his stamp on the games, even though planning has been taking place for years. The task force's functions, per the executive order, are to coordinate federal planning and response related to security, transportation, and entry/exit processes; to support interagency and state and local information sharing; to identify legal, logistical, or regulatory barriers that could stymie federal support; to assist in visa processing and credentialing; and to ensure operational readiness across law enforcement, counterterrorism, transportation and emergency response. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which Trump signed into law last month, included $1 billion for Olympics security and other costs. Wasserman said that the funding 'will be used by local and state agencies and the federal government to make sure that our games are safe and secure and ultimately the best place to experience and be an Olympic fan.'
