Shelby Township police fatally shoot man who ran away from traffic stop
At around 3:17 p.m., the officer attempted a traffic stop on a white Dodge Caravan in the area of Van Dyke Avenue and 22 Mile Road. During the stop, police say the suspect, a 41-year-old Troy man who was the sole occupant of the Caravan, exited the vehicle and ran away from the officer.
Police say the officer chased the suspect behind a business in the area and gave commands to the suspect to stop before deploying a Taser. The suspect reportedly continued to run from the officer before ultimately drawing a weapon.
The officer reportedly gave the suspect verbal commands to drop the weapon before firing and striking the man.
The suspect was taken to an area hospital, where he died from his injuries. His name has not been released.
Shelby Township police have now turned over the investigation to the Macomb County Sheriff's Office. Per department policy, the officer was placed on administrative leave.

Elizabeth Warren Says Elon Musk's SpaceX Is Paying Less Tax Than You But Getting 'Billions' From The Government: Trump And GOP 'Rigged' The Tax Code
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) has accused Elon Musk's SpaceX of benefiting from billions in U.S. government contracts while paying little to no federal taxes. Warren Accuses Musk Of Dodging Taxes On Monday, Warren took to X, formerly Twitter, and said that "Elon Musk's SpaceX is worth over $350 BILLION – after receiving billions in government contracts – but could be paying LESS in taxes than you." She blamed Donald Trump's tax reforms, saying Republicans "rigged the tax code with loopholes for billionaire corporations" and demanded "no more corporate handouts." Trending: The same firms that backed Uber, Venmo and eBay are investing in this pre-IPO company disrupting a $1.8T market — Her remarks followed a New York Times report that SpaceX has avoided paying federal income tax on about $5 billion in taxable income since its founding in 2002 by using a legal tax strategy known as a net operating loss carryforward. The provision, expanded indefinitely under Trump in 2017, lets companies offset future income with earlier losses. Musk Previously Defended Tesla's Tax Strategy Musk currently has a net worth of $375 billion, according to Bloomberg's Billionaire Index, making him the wealthiest individual on Earth. In February earlier this year, Musk and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) VP of Finance Sendil Palani denied claims that Tesla evaded taxes, saying that the company legally carried forward past losses under IRS provisions. At the time, Musk acknowledged Tesla didn't pay U.S. federal income tax for several years, including 2024, since most profits come from overseas sales, but highlighted the need for comprehensive tax reform to address excessive Revenue Soars, Taxes Stay Low Documents reviewed by the publication show that more than 75% of SpaceX's revenue in 2020 and 2021 came from federal contracts. Despite that reliance on taxpayers, SpaceX paid only minimal taxes — including $483,000 to foreign governments and $78,000 in state taxes in 2021. SpaceX's business is also booming. Revenue is expected to reach $15.5 billion in 2025, double the $7.4 billion reported in 2023. Starlink, its satellite internet service, now generates more revenue than its rocket division, with 2.5 million users and $8 billion in 2023 sales. Warren Broadens Criticism Of Musk Warren has previously also targeted Musk over what she describes as conflicts of interest and misuse of government influence. In June, her office released a report titled "130 Days of Elon Musk," alleging more than 100 abuses of power during his time as a Trump administration adviser. She has also criticized the Pentagon for awarding Musk's AI startup xAI a $200 million contract just days after its chatbot Grok was caught making antisemitic remarks.

Bombshell texts reveal Jeanine Pirro is no fan of Sean Hannity, alleging he storms into the Oval Office ‘like he owns the place'
U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro once labelled her fellow Fox News anchor Sean Hannity an 'egomaniac' and bragged about helping President Donald Trump, according to newly-released bombshell text messages. Pirro is at the center of a lawsuit brought by the voting machine manufacturer Smartmatic against Fox, in which the former is seeking $2.7 billion in damages for what it alleges do the network's anchors spread falsehoods and conspiracy theories about its products in the aftermath of Trump's defeat to Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election. Fox settled a similar defamation lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems in 2023 for $787.5 million but has insisted that Smartmatic's suit is without merit. 'The evidence shows that Smartmatic's business and reputation were badly suffering long before any claims by President Trump's lawyers on Fox News and that Smartmatic grossly inflated its damage claims to generate headlines and chill free speech,' the network said in a statement. 'Now, in the aftermath of Smartmatic's executives getting indicted for bribery charges, we are eager and ready to continue defending our press freedoms.' The texts gathered by the company concerning Pirro were released as part of an unredacted court filing on Tuesday and paint a fascinating picture of life behind the scenes at Fox. In one message sent by Pirro in September 2020 to Ronna McDaniel, the then-chair of the Republican National Committee, she bragged, 'I work so hard for the party across the country. I'm the Number 1 watched show on all news cable all weekend. I work so hard for the President and party.' In another message on October 27, she told a friend that Hannity had stormed into the Oval Office of the White House 'like he owns the place, throws his papers on the Pres desk and says, you don't mind if I use your private bathroom, and walks into bathroom within Oval and uses it.' She continued: '[He] Looks at me and says, I got to talk to him… It's all abt him, period. No one else matters.' Smartmatic also argues in its suit that Pirro served as an information conduit to Sidney Powell, the self-styled 'Kraken' attorney at the forefront of claims that Biden's victory at the polls was achieved by fraud, citing a message in which she encourages the lawyer to 'keep fighting.' The texts further reveal that Jerry Andrews, the producer of Pirro's show Justice with Judge Jeanine, warned her against making false claims about the election on air. 'You should be very careful with this stuff and protect yourself given the ongoing calls for evidence that has not materialized,' he told her. Pirro was then angered when Fox decided against running an episode on November 7 and wrote to Hannity: 'I'M TIRED OF THE CENSORSHIP AND I'M EMBARRASSED BY HOW THEY CALLED THIS ELECTION.' Hannity replied by observing: 'Fox News promoting u every 5 seconds. It's hilarious.' According to Smartmatic, Pirro otherwise acknowledged in a deposition that the 2020 election was not stolen, agreed that it had been 'fair and free' and that the company did nothing wrong. 'I believe that there's been no showing that Smartmatic engaged in any problems,' she said, according to the filing, which also quoted her as answering 'I do' when asked by the company's lawyers whether she believed Biden was 'legitimately elected.' Elsewhere, Pirro is seen complaining to the president's son Eric Trump that her ex-husband, Albert Pirro, was not initially granted a pardon by Trump over his tax evasion conviction and calling former New York City police commissioner Bernard Kerik, who was granted clemency, 'a selfish bastard,' writing to Kerik's girlfriend: 'I DON'T CARE [ABOUT] ANYONE ELSE.' Other Fox anchors mentioned in the suit include Jesse Watters, who texted his fellow presenter Greg Gutfeld in December 2020: 'Think about how incredible our ratings would be if Fox went ALL in on STOP THE STEAL.' More cautious was Bret Baier, who, according to the filing, messaged executive Jay Wallace accusing Maria Bartiromo of Fox Business of airing falsehoods and declaring: 'None of that is true as far as we can tell. We need to fact-check this crap.'

Toddlers and Sharing: What's Realistic and How to Support Them
Sharing isn't natural for toddlers, and that's not a parenting fail, but here's how to guide them Here's the truth: sharing is hard for toddlers. At this stage, their thinking is self-focused. They're still learning that other people have feelings, wants, and needs too. That means when your toddler refuses to share, it's not a reflection of your parenting, it's simply where they are developmentally. Most kids don't fully grasp the concept of sharing until closer to the age four. Before then, expecting them to happily hand over a favorite toy on demand is unrealistic. Instead of forcing it, we can focus on laying the groundwork: Modeling, practicing patience, and creating opportunities for sharing in ways that match their age and stage. Building the foundation for sharing Model it yourself. Show them what sharing looks like in daily life. Exaggerate the fun and be clear about how it feels. 'You're sharing your blueberries with me? Wow, that makes me so happy. Thank you!' Point it out in real life. Sharing happens around us all the time. Narrate it when you see it. Mommy's friend is borrowing my book. When she's done, she'll give it back. I feel happy sharing, and she feels happy too. Practice turn-taking. Simple back-and-forth games help toddlers learn patience and fairness. Start with very short turns: It's your turn with the toy. Now it's my turn. Now it's your turn again. This helps them trust that waiting doesn't mean losing forever. Use music or play. Toddlers love routines around turn-taking. Try alternating songs: 'Mommy's song first, then your song.' When you play their request, name the process: 'We took turns. My favorite song, then your favorite song.' As kids approach age three, they'll start to understand sharing better, but it's still a skill in progress. Expect practice, not perfection. Sharing with other kids Sharing at home with a parent is one thing, but put two toddlers in the same room with one toy, and suddenly you've got a front-row seat to the 'Mine!' Olympics. When kids play together, sharing feels even harder because they're balancing their own wants with someone else's in real time. Here's how to handle it depending on your child's age: Under 18 months: Distraction works best. If one child grabs a toy, redirect the other with something new. 'Let's play with this truck while we wait!' 18 months and up: Try verbalizing what's happening. 'You both want the doll. Your friend is playing with it right now. It's hard to wait, but when she's done, you'll have a turn. Let's play with the blocks until then.' Kids this age are practicing patience in tiny doses, and every attempt (even if it ends in tears) is part of the learning process. When a sharing tantrum happens Even with the best preparation, sharing often ends in tears. And that's okay, for toddlers, waiting their turn can feel like the end of the world. Tantrums over toys don't mean you've failed. They mean your child is still learning patience and emotional regulation. In these moments, your calm response is the anchor they need. Here are some strategies that can help: Visual timers (after 2½ years). 'We'll set the timer for two minutes. When it dings, it's your turn.' If it causes more chaos, put the toy away: 'This toy needs a break. We'll try again later.' Stay calm and guide. Narrate what's happening, empathize, and reassure them: 'You want the doll, but your friend is still using it. You'll have a turn soon. Let's play with the truck while we wait.' Hold boundaries gently. Tears don't mean you should change the rule, because consistency helps them trust the process. Tantrums during sharing aren't setbacks, they're practice. Each time you guide them calmly, you're helping your child build the skills to handle big feelings and trust that turns do come back around. The bottom line Sharing isn't something toddlers instantly know how to do. It's a skill they grow into with practice, patience, and lots of guidance from you. Refusing to share doesn't mean they're selfish, and it doesn't mean you've failed as a parent. It simply means they're still learning. Your job isn't to force it, but to coach it: modeling what sharing looks like, giving them small chances to practice, and staying calm when big feelings show up. Over time, those messy moments add up to real progress. So the next time your toddler clutches a toy like it's made of gold, remember: this isn't the finish line, it's just practice. And with your steady support, they'll eventually learn that sharing isn't about losing, it's about connection. If you like tips like these, the PedsDocTalk newsletter shares more parenting insights, including practical advice you can actually use and plenty of reassurance for the tough days, too.
