Scottish musician's wife assaulted by 'bagpipe Karen' in shocking outburst in Texas park
The wife of a Scottish musician was allegedly assaulted in a Texas park after a woman became enraged by the sound of bagpipes.
Scott Gibb was playing in a secluded area at Terry Hershey Park in Houston on May 26, when he was confronted by Eunice Isgur, 76.
'She said I had no right to play here in this public park,' Gibb told KTRK.
Isgur began recording Gibb and yelling at him for playing his instrument, Harris County Precinct 5 Constable Terry Allbritton said.
'She said, "I'm gonna call my husband. He's a federal judge and he's gonna make you stop",' Gibb told the outlet, referring to Isgur's husband US District Bankruptcy Judge Marvin Isgur of the Southern District of Texas.
As the situation escalated, Gibb's wife witnessed the argument unfold and decided to begin recording the pair herself.
Gibb, a Scottish native, said that Isgur's husband did arrive on the scene but hasn't been accused of any wrongdoing.
But Isgur reportedly became further angered that she was being recorded, which is when she allegedly hit the victim's arm while swiping at her phone.
'She was very aggressive, yelling and screaming,' Gibb told the outlet. 'She basically swiped at my wife's face.'
Gibb said that Isgur has previously confronted him about the noise, but this was the first violent encounter they had.
'You can't have people so disrespectful and attacking for no reason at all,' Gibb told the outlet.
Isgur, according to authorities, suffered a black eye after she tripped in an attempt to grab the victim's backpack.
Isgur was arrested for Assault-Bodily Injury and posted an $100 bond, according to online records.

Samuel L Jackson opens up on near-death experience
Samuel L Jackson has recounted a 1988 incident where he was dragged by a New York City subway train after his foot got caught in the door, revealing 'things slow down when you're looking at death'. Speaking on Paloma Faith 's Mad Sad Bad podcast, Jackson said he feared for his life as the train accelerated, but it slowed and stopped before entering a tunnel. In a 2021 Vanity Fair interview, Jackson revealed the incident tore his ACL and meniscus, leading to 10 months on crutches and a year of rehab. Jackson sued the New York Transit Authority and received a $540,000 settlement. During the court proceedings, Jackson learned that a man had pulled the emergency cord, stopping the train and potentially saving his life.

Legal blow for Trump as judge blocks ban on Harvard's foreign students
A judge has temporarily blocked President Donald Trump from barring international students from entering the US to study at Harvard University over alleged 'national security' concerns. Judge Allison Burroughs issued a temporary restraining order, saying that Trump's directive would cause "immediate and irreparable injury" before the courts could review the case. Trump claimed Harvard refused to provide information about "known illegal activity" on campus allegedly committed by international students. Harvard has filed a claim stating that Trump violated federal law by failing to back up his allegations about national security. University spokesperson Jason Newton says Harvard will continue to protect its international students.

Trump will come out on top in his battle with Musk
In the end it was always bound to get messy – how could it not? Two bombastic billionaires aligned by ambition and imperiousness – an unlikely bromance fuelled by an unquenchable attraction to both legitimacy and impunity. But here we are – barely four months after joining him in the Oval Office, Tesla-chief Elon Musk has not merely fallen out with his presidential benefactor: he's taking their battle public. On Thursday, Musk – now finished leading Trump's cost-cutting Department of Government Efficiency – 'went nuclear,' as the New York Post phrased it, accusing the president of covering up his cameo in the infamous Jeffrey Epstein sex-crimes saga. 'Time to drop the really big bomb,' posted Musk on Twitter Thursday afternoon. 'That is the real reason they have not been made public,' he added as he teased an Epstein-related bombshell. The daggers come as Musk takes aim at Trump's massive One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which bundles together much of the president's key legislative objectives. The bill has already passed in the House, but Musk wants Congress to 'kill it.' His beef: among other provisions, the ending of tax credits for electric vehicles (like Musk-made Teslas) which was approved by former president Joe Biden. As both Trump and Musk know well, the truth around the Epstein affair matters far less than the fact that the two men are fighting about it. Even if Musk uncovers some sort of sexual salaciousness, it's unlikely to matter – both to Trump, nor his base, who are fully aware of (and unbothered by) the President's messy amorous history. What really matters is Trump – both his tendency for prolonged distractions (such as Musk!) and his zeal for heart-daggering retribution. Still Musk, despite lacking presidential powers, cannot be easily taken down – after all his perch exists because the president placed him there. But neither can Musk simply dismiss Trump outright. Ever skilful with a threat, Trump has already warned that he could withhold 'billion and billions of dollars' in federal funding for Musk-related companies, such as Tesla and Space X. Little doubt Trump could easily identify billions more. But cutting Musk's cash flow won't come without consequence: SpaceX, for instance, forms much of the transport network needed to maintain the International Space Station. Yet Trump's barbs matter just as much – Tesla's stock sank nearly 10 per cent on Thursday in response to the Trump-Musk kerfuffle. Considering the stock is already trading 40 per cent below its 52-week high, Musk could face internal pressure to tone things down if his feud with the president deepens. It likely will – at least in the short term. After all, neither Trump nor Musk shy away from conflict and both view adversarialism as a necessary tool of conquest. Both certainly have the required ammunition – billions of dollars, wholly-owned social media platforms and eager, sycophantic fan bases. But Trump – clear-eyed against Musk's alleged drug-taking – will likely wind up the winner. Having poured hundreds of millions of dollars into Trump's campaign, Musk clearly craves a return on his investment. He had one when he was hanging in the Oval, but now cast adrift he's clearly resentful and seeking vengeance. Trump, however, wants nothing nor really needs nothing from Musk – except, when the time comes, to simply be left alone. For men like Musk and Trump – consumed with attention and approval – indifference may prove the most potent poison of all.
