CNY man to face prison, $250K fine and more after firing AR-15 at Manlius gas station
Back in September, NewsChannel 9 first reported that then-35-year-old Richard Bradley was arrested after firing four rounds from an AR-15 style rifle inside his car that was parked outside the Sunoco gas station at Schepps Corners.
Bullets went through his car but didn't hit any people.
This week in federal court, Bradley pleaded guilty to possessing the rifle, which he was not supposed to have due to a prior felony conviction.
As a result, Bradley now faces up to 15 years behind bars, a $250,000 fine, and must turn over the rifle.
Sentencing is scheduled for this June.

Widow of tragic NYPD cop killed in Park Avenue mass shooting gives birth to ‘beautiful baby boy'
The widow of the NYPD cop tragically killed in the Park Avenue mass shooting has given birth to the couple's third son, Mayor Eric Adams announced Monday morning. Slain NYPD Officer Didarul Islam's wife, Jamila Akhter, went into labor Sunday night and welcomed a 'beautiful baby boy' at Mount Sinai Hospital, Adams said at an unrelated press conference. 'On a happier note, we learned that Officer Islam's wife gave birth to a young, beautiful baby boy,' Adams told reporters during a briefing on another mass shooting in the city, this time in Brooklyn on Sunday. Advertisement 3 Tragic slain NYPD cop Didarul Islam poses with sons Azhaan, 5 and Ahyan, 7. Obtained by the New York Post 'I stopped by the hospital in the lobby yesterday to talk with family members, mother was in labor, and we're really excited that she gave birth to a beautiful, young child.' The couple already shared two young boys — Ahyan, 7, and Azhaan, 5 — who idolized their dad. Advertisement 'We want to continue to let them know God works in mysterious ways,' Adams said of Islam's family. 'And as mayor, I want to assure the detective and his family that we're doing to continue to be there for them. 'They are our family and the family of this great city, New York,' said Adams, a former NYPD captain. Islam, 36, was working an approved off-duty security job the evening of July 28 when gunman Shane Tamura walked into the lobby of the skyscraper that houses the NFL headquarters at East 51 Street and Park Avenue in Manhattan and opened fire with an AR-15. Tamura rattled off 47 rounds, killing Islam and three other people – building security guard Aland Etienne, Blackstone executive Wesley LePatner and Rudin Management worker Julia Hyman — and injuring one more before he fatally turned the gun on himself on the 33rd floor.

REUTERS Tamura, 27, who worked at the Horseshoe hotel and casino in Las Vegas, had no affiliation with the NFL but played football in high school and blamed the league for covering up chronic traumatic encephalopathy, also known as CTE, a brain disease caused by repetitive head trauma that he believed he suffered from. It's not yet clear if Tamura had the disease. Islam's sons beamed with pride over their father's NYPD employment, with little Ahyan donning the Police Department's blues while at his preschool in Bronxdale, said a teacher who taught both boys in The Bronx. Advertisement 3 Islam was remembered as a hero and dedicated father. NYPD 'He said, 'I wear my police uniform just like my dad,'' teacher Tajwattie Singh had told The Post. Islam was posthumously promoted to detective first grade and remembered by NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch for serving 'with steadiness, with heart, with conviction' during his somber funeral.

Watch: Bear breaks into California home, eats dog food, cookies and chips
Aug. 18 (UPI) -- A bear broke into a California home to feast on snacks including dog food, cookies, a bag of chips and a container of sugar. Bridget Conley said she started getting alerts from the security cameras at her Pine Mountain Club home, located in the Los Padres National Forest in Kern County, about 6:15 a.m. Friday, when no one was home. "He was huge," Conley told KABC-TV. "This bear was the biggest bear that we have seen." Conley said the bear kicked open the door and spent about an hour going in and out of the house. "There were multiple snacks, because once he broke in, he would go in, ransack and pick something that he wanted to eat, come back outside to eat it and then go back," Conley said. The bear feasted on treats including dog food, cookies, a container of turbinado sugar and a bag of chips. "He went for the turbinado sugar, the dog food, and we think he took a bottle of Worcestershire sauce, and I think that maybe he thought it was syrup, and he threw that down. He did not like that," she said. She said not everything in the kitchen was ransacked. "He left the vodka," she said.

IDF strikes Houthi energy infrastructure, including Haziz power station in Sanaa
At least two explosions were heard in the Yemeni capital Sanaa near a power station, residents said early on Sunday. The IDF struck an energy infrastructure site that was used by the Houthis in Yemen, the military confirmed on Sunday morning. According to the IDF, the strikes were conducted in response to repeated attacks by Houthis against Israel and Israeli civilians, including launching surface-to-surface missiles and drones toward Israeli territory. Army Radio reported that the Israel Navy struck in Yemen and targeted the Haziz power station. The report compared the strike to an earlier one this year in the port of Hodeidah. The Houthi-run Beirut-based Al Masirah TV reported earlier that a power plant south of the Yemeni capital Sanaa was hit by an "aggression," knocking some of its generators out of service. The Yemeni channel did not identify the source of the reported "aggression." Senior Houthi leaders were at the power station at the time of the strike, according to a report by UK-based outlet The Telegraph. Teams were working to put out a fire caused by the incident, Al Masirah added, citing a source in civil defense as saying. At least two explosions were heard earlier in Sanaa, residents said. Videos of the explosion showed clouds of smoke and flames erupting from an unidentified structure. Houthis have been striking Israel for months Israel has been carrying out airstrikes in Yemen in response to the Houthis' attacks on Israel. The Yemeni group has been firing missiles toward Israel, most of which have been intercepted, in what they describe as support to Palestinians during the Israel-Hamas War. The US and the UK had also previously launched attacks against the Houthis in Yemen. In May, the US announced a surprise deal with the Houthis where it agreed to stop a bombing campaign against them in return for an end to the group's shipping attacks, though the Houthis said the deal did not include sparing Israel.
