Teen involved in 2024 shooting at Shelbyville carnival accused of posting threat against event, police say
SHELBYVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Nearly one year after a shooting at a Shelbyville carnival left one person injured, authorities announced they arrested a teenager Friday afternoon in connection with an online shooting threat against the event.
The Shelbyville Police Department said a 17-year-old was taken into custody on Friday, May 23 for posting a threat about the Madison Street Carnival on Snapchat, but there's no word on what charge(s) the suspect faces.
According to officials, the minor had been involved in the carnival shooting on May 31, 2024, which sent a man to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
A few days after the shooting, law enforcement reported Cam Fite, of Shelbyville, had been arrested for aggravated assault while 'another male juvenile' was arrested for aggravated assault and unlawful possession of a weapon. However, no additional details were released about those two individuals.

US Rep. McIver indicted on federal 'charges from skirmish at New Jersey immigration center
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — U.S. Rep. LaMonica McIver was indicted Tuesday on federal charges alleging she impeded and interfered with immigration officers outside a New Jersey detention center while Newark's mayor was being arrested after he tried to join a congressional oversight visit at the facility. Acting U.S. Attorney for New Jersey Alina Habba announced the grand jury indictment in a post on X. 'While people are free to express their views for or against particular policies, they must not do so in a manner that endangers law enforcement and the communities those officers serve,' Habba said. McIver, a Democrat, had been charged in a complaint by Habba last month with two assault charges stemming from the May 9 visit to Newark's Delaney Hall — a 1,000-bed, privately owned facility that Immigration and Customs Enforcement uses as a detention center. McIver disputed the allegations as baseless and defended her presence at the facility as part of her authorized role as a member of Congress.

'Unhappy cow' sends Texas rancher flying to hospital in dramatic airlift rescue after unexpected attack
A Leon County, Texas, rancher was airlifted to a hospital and another person was taken by ambulance after being attacked by what officials called "an unhappy cow" on Monday morning. In a post on Facebook, Leon County Emergency Management (LCEM) said "AirMed 12 N" picked up an injured rancher who had been "attacked by an unhappy cow." FOX 26 in Houston reported that EMS responded at about 9 a.m. to the area, which is located nearly 90 miles east of Waco, Texas, and nearly half-way between Houston and Dallas. Responding units included LCEM and other emergency medical crews from the area. Officials did not identify the people who were injured by the cow nor did they disclose the severity of their injuries. The reason the cow became unhappy remains unknown. This is not the first time an animal has turned on its caretaker. In April 2022, an Irish man was attacked by a rooster with a history of attacking people, according to reports. The Irish Examiner in Cork, Ireland, reported that Jasper Kraus was allegedly attacked by a Brahma chicken that was moved to his property in Ballinasloe after it attacked a child. During a judicial inquiry into the matter, Garda Eoine Browne said he responded to reports of a sudden death on April 28, 2022, and when he arrived, he spoke to paramedics who said CPR attempts to revive the victim were unsuccessful. Kraus was in the kitchen and on the ground in a pool of blood when Brown arrived and appeared to be suffering from a single wound on the back of one of his legs. Kraus's daughter said during the inquiry that she realized the rooster must have caused her father's death after she saw blood on its claws. She also revealed the same rooster had previously attacked her daughter. Corey O'Keefe, a tenant at Kraus's house, was questioned about the incident and said he returned home from work at 8 a.m. that morning, fed the animals and asked Kraus how he was doing before heading off to bed. A little while later, O'Keefe reported, Kraus was screaming for help. When O'Keefe went out to see what was wrong, he saw blood spurting from a large wound on the back of Kraus's calf, along with two other scratches. The victim went in and out of consciousness, O'Keefe reportedly said, and at one point said the word "rooster." Kraus was ultimately pronounced dead at the scene. The coroner recorded Kraus's death as misadventure, or an accident, describing the incident as a dreadful experience for the family.
