U of New Mexico shooting: 1 killed, 1 wounded; suspect at large
The suspect remains at large and 'may still be on campus' as of 8 a.m. local time, the school said in a statement shared on social media.
The UNM Police Department said it received reports of gunshots fired near Casas del Rio, a privately owned on‑campus housing complex in central Albuquerque, in the early morning hours of July 25.
When officers arrived on the scene, they found two individuals with gunshot wounds.
'One victim is deceased, and the other sustained non-life-threatening injuries,' school officials said, adding that the Albuquerque central campus had been closed 'out of an abundance of caution.'
Authorities have yet to release the identities of the victims. No further information is available at this time.

Husband's cheating exposed by family scale thanks to untimely weigh-in
A woman has her digital scale to thank for revealing her husband's cheating. A skeptical wife shared the wild way she learned of her husband's ways in a viral Reddit post, detailing how she found two late-night weigh-ins on her digital scale – taken while she was away and her husband was home alone. 'I checked the digital scale's memory out of curiosity and it showed two 'unassigned' weigh-ins at exactly 120 lbs, logged at 12:15 a.m. and 12:26 a.m. back-to-back,' user @throw-Doubt303 posted in the sub r/AmIOverreacting. 'For context, I do not weigh 120 lbs, and I was not there on that date, just my husband,' she wrote on Reddit. The distraught woman noted that she and her husband were 'in the middle of a separation' due to his past cheating. She later noted in the comment section that she and her husband had a goal 'to work on ourselves to build a better foundation for our marriage.' 'Our agreement was NOT to see other people, especially in a family home,' she added. The Reddit peanut gallery was quick to try and guide the woman, who noted at the end of her post that she was 'trying to stay strong,' but it was difficult. 'Just more closure to finalize the separation. Now you can have peace knowing that this is the right decision,' one person wrote. 'Pro tip - don't tell him you know there was a female there. Get in touch with attorneys to make a game plan,' another chimed in. 'I think it's pretty clear he had someone over. And 120 lbs after midnight – not one of his male buddies,' another commentator added. 'Blessing in disguise, better to have confirmation now so you can proceed confidently with the divorce.' While some commentators made judgmental remarks about the woman having 'trust issues' because she went as far as to check the data on the scale, many were sympathetic and urged her to stop torturing herself and leave him. 'You already know he's a cheat. Why do you need more proof he's a terrible person? It's not good for your mental health,' one person wrote. 'I'm so excited to see you lose 190 pounds! Huge weight loss,' another person added. Solve the daily Crossword

New York woman who duped investors, funneled money to 2017 Trump fundraiser pleads guilty
A New York businesswoman has pleaded guilty in connection with a financial scheme that ripped off more than $30 million from foreign investors and funneled some of the stolen money into U.S. political campaigns, including a 2017 fundraiser for President Donald Trump during his first term. Sherry Xue Li, 48, of Oyster Bay, pleaded guilty Wednesday in federal court on Long Island to money laundering conspiracy and conspiracy to defraud the U.S. by obstructing the Federal Election Commission's administration of campaign finance laws. She faces up to 20 years in prison and is set to be sentenced on Dec. 5. Her lawyer, Kevin Keating, declined to comment on the plea and the charges Wednesday. She has been detained since her arrest in 2022. Li's co-defendant, Lianbo Wang, pleaded guilty to similar charges in March 2024 and was sentenced to five years in prison. Prosecutors say the scheme went on for nearly a decade. Li and Wang coaxed investors, many of whom were from China, into contributing $500,000 each to a fictitious development project, with a false promise to guarantee them lawful permanent resident status in the U.S., authorities said. They used millions of dollars from those investments for personal expenses, including clothing, jewelry, housing, vacation travel and upscale dining, officials said. Li and Wang also sold investors access to U.S. politicians at fundraisers and used the proceeds to illegally contribute millions of dollars to U.S. political campaigns and committees. The campaigns and committees were unaware of the scheme, and no allegations of criminal wrongdoing were lodged against them, prosecutors said. On June 28, 2017, Donald Trump attended a fundraiser for his 2020 reelection bid at his hotel in Washington. Prosecutors said Li and Wang charged each of the 12 foreign nationals $93,000 for admission to the event, then used the funds to make illegal contributions in their names totaling $600,000 to the fundraising committee hosting the event. Li took a photograph with Trump and his wife, Melania, at the event and would later use it to solicit donations to the fake development project, prosecutors said. Other investors or prospects also received brochures featuring Li or Wang with Trump and other politicians, including Democratic then-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, prosecutors said. Li and Wang, who are naturalized U.S. citizens, also contributed millions of dollars to other federal, state and local campaigns, which were not identified by authorities. 'Li defrauded more than 150 victims in the United States and abroad through years of lies and deception and sought to profit by selling access to the democratic process,' Joseph Nocella Jr., U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York, said in a statement. 'In doing so, she attempted to corrupt a fundamental institution in this country — fair and transparent elections free from unlawful foreign influence." As part of her plea agreement, Li agreed to forfeit $31.5 million and three properties. Solve the daily Crossword
