Where do hot car deaths happen the most? Data reveals where (and when) it's most common. Reports: Family attorney says contract worker was supposed to return child to day care The family's attorney, Courtney French, told and CNN that the contract worker had picked up Ketorrius from day care at around 9 a.m. on July 22 for a supervised visit with his father. The visit, which ended at about 11:30 a.m., was part of a court-ordered process for the parents to regain their custody of Ketorrius, according to CNN. After the visit ended, French alleged that the worker made "numerous personal errands" with Ketorrius in the back of their vehicle instead of returning him to day care, CNN and reported. The worker then returned to their home, leaving Ketorrius in the vehicle for about five hours, according to the news outlets. In a statement shared by French, according to Ketorrius' family called the incident a "parent's worst nightmare." "Our baby should be alive,' the family added in the statement. Hot temperatures and humidity were recorded on the day of the incident, according to the National Weather Service's office in Birmingham. The maximum temperature on July 22 reached 96 degrees shortly before 3 p.m., the weather service said in its daily climatological report. Tips to prevent summer tragedy: Child hot car deaths could happen in any family. Alabama child is the latest hot car death in the U.S. In 2024, there were 41 child deaths in hot cars across the United States from May to November, according to data compiled by Kids and Car Safety, which tracks such deaths and advocates for preventative measures. The most common months for hot car deaths are June, July, and August when sweltering temperatures grip much of the nation. More than 1,100 children have died in hot cars nationwide since 1990, Kids and Car Safety said in a news release on July 23. At least 7,500 other children have survived with injuries. The group said Ketorrius is at least the 16th child to die in a hot car in 2025. "Approximately 88% of children who die in hot cars are age 3 or younger and the majority (55%) were unknowingly left by an otherwise loving, responsible parent or caregiver," according to Kids and Car Safety. The group and other experts have noted that most hot car deaths are accidental, and these types of incidents can happen to anyone. Hot car deaths most often occur when a parent or caregiver has a change in routine or miscommunicate with each other over who's in charge of taking the child inside, Kids and Car Safety founder Janette Fennell previously told USA TODAY. The same brain mechanism that causes a person to leave their cup of coffee on top of their car and drive away also causes someone to leave a child behind, Fennell said. In many cases, a change in routine — such as a parent who doesn't normally do day care drop-off — and a brain operating on autopilot leads to the tragedy. "In over half of hot car deaths, the person responsible for the child unknowingly left them in the vehicle," according to Kids and Car Safety. "In most situations, this happens to loving, caring, and protective parents. It has happened to a teacher, dentist, social worker, police officer, nurse, clergyman, soldier, and even a rocket scientist."

LAPD station evacuates after military ordnance is dropped off
A couple brought a military explosive device into a Los Angeles Police Department station Saturday afternoon in an attempt to dispose of it, spurring officials to temporarily evacuate the Pacoima station and nearby homes. The incident comes less than two weeks after an explosion killed three Los Angeles County sheriff's detectives — the deadliest incident for the Sheriff's Department in more than 150 years. Three agency veterans died in the incident: Dets. Joshua Kelley-Eklund, Victor Lemus and William Osborn. According to the LAPD, two people came into the Pacoima station at 2:30 p.m. Saturday afternoon and said they were cleaning out the home of a family member who recently died when they found what they believed were explosives. The department's bomb squad used a robot to take images of the plastic box the couple had brought, which had 'several military ordnances inside.' After deeming them safe to transfer, the bomb squad moved them to a storage facility for the U.S. military to collect. In the latest twist in the case in which the sheriff's detectives were killed, one of the grenades found before the explosion is missing, authorities said Friday. Two hand grenades were discovered in a Santa Monica town home complex — one of them exploded with deadly results, and the other one "is unaccounted for at this time," Sheriff Robert Luna said.

Lindsey Graham spars with NBC anchor over Tulsi Gabbard's new Russiagate allegations
NBC "Meet the Press" host Kristen Welker asked Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., if he was trying to "distract from the Epstein matter" during a heated exchange on Sunday over Trump administration allegations that former President Obama may have directed the U.S. intelligence agencies to implicate Trump in the Russiagate scandal. "You're trying to sweep this stuff under the rug, and that's not right!" Graham said. The argument erupted over the recent allegations lodged by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. Gabbard claimed that declassified intelligence documents and a declassified 2020 House Intelligence Committee report revealed that in the waning days of the Obama administration, the then-president ordered U.S. intel agencies to alter their assessment of Russia's attempts to interfere in the election specifically to help elect Donald Trump. The DNI director said that the intelligence agencies had originally concluded that Russia was not trying to help Trump get elected. Gabbard alleged that the agencies in fact had evidence that Putin expected Hillary Clinton to win the presidency. Gabbard alleged that this was tantamount to a "treasonous conspiracy." "The treasonous conspiracy that we have now released to the American people — the complicity, the deflection, and the silence of politicians, of the mainstream media, and of those directly implicated into this speaks volumes," Gabbard told Fox & Friends. President Trump called for Obama and others to face "very severe consequences" for attempting to "rig the election." Obama issued a rare official response to Trump, blasting the claims as "bizarre" and a "weak attempt at distraction." "The bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction. Nothing in the document issued last week undercuts the widely accepted conclusion that Russia worked to influence the 2016 presidential election but did not successfully manipulate any votes," he said. "These findings were affirmed in a 2020 report by the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee, led by then-Chairman Marco Rubio," a spokesperson for Obama said. Welker claimed that she had spoken to Republican former CIA officer Susan Miller, who categorically denied Gabbard's claims. The NBC anchor also pointed to a Trump-appointed special counsel, John H. Durham, who she claimed concluded in 2023 that there was no political interference in the Russiagate probe. She also played a clip of Graham himself saying in 2017 that the Russians interfered in the election to embarrass Hillary Clinton. "There's only one person in Washington that I know of that has any doubt about what Russia did in our election and is President Trump," Graham said at the time. The South Carolina senator replied that Gabbard's report contained information that hadn't previously been disclosed, and that the allegations warranted a special counsel investigation. "Well, what I am saying is that you left a lot out here… The Mueller investigation was crooked and rotten to the core. The Washington Post and the New York Times got a Pulitzer Prize for reporting on Trump's campaign's relationship with Russia. It was all B.S.," Graham said. Graham said he isn't calling for former President Obama to be prosecuted for treason, but said that a special counsel should look into whether the former president ordered the intelligence report to be changed because he didn't like the outcome. He lamented that so many lives got turned upside down by the Mueller investigation, and accused Welker of trying to sweep the administration's findings "under the rug." "For years and months and days and weeks, people had their lives turned upside down, chasing the Mueller narrative that Trump was in bed with the Russians, that the Trump campaign was colluding with the Russian… You're trying to sweep this stuff under the rug and that's not right," he said.
