The deputy retired a few months ago but continued to work as a "special deputy," the sheriff said.
The father of an 18-year-old who was shot and killed by Cincinnati police Thursday was driving the car that hit the deputy, authorities said. He was also taken to a hospital.
During an afternoon commencement ceremony, UC President Neville Pinto called for a moment of silence in his opening remarks.
"Before we get started, sadly, I have to report an incident that occurred today with a Hamilton County deputy sheriff on Martin Luther King Drive," Pinto said. "It was a very serious incident, and I would like to ask for a moment of silence to respect this officer."
The Cincinnati Police Department is leading the investigation into the deputy's killing.
The son of the suspect was shot and killed Thursday as Cincinnati police officers chased four suspected car thieves in an encounter that lasted just six seconds. The officers responded to a call around 9:30 a.m. about a Kia SUV stolen from Edgewood, Kentucky, when four suspects inside the car took off running, Fox 19 Now reported.
One officer ran after one suspect, while the other officer pursued another.
One of the suspects had a handgun, Theetge said. The suspect allegedly pointed the gun, which had an extended magazine, at the officer, who opened fire, fatally striking the teen.
Two other suspects were caught and arrested, and one remains on the run.Original article source: Ohio deputy struck and killed by father of teen fatally shot by officer a day earlier: police

Exclusive: Oversight Committee Dem probes Corey Lewandowski's role at DHS
The House Oversight Committee's top Democrat is seeking information about Corey Lewandowski and his work as a special government employee. Why it matters: Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) sent an inquiry letter to the Department of Homeland Security on Thursday following multiple media reports that Lewandowski may be working past the legal time limit for his role while wielding significant power in the department. Catch up quick: Lewandowski, a long-time aide to President Trump, has been working as a special government employee, or SGE, advising DHS Sec. Kristi Noem. Axios reported that the White House is now monitoring Lewandowski's working hours to ensure he doesn't exceed the 130-day legal limit for SGEs serving in the government. It's an unpaid post that doesn't require divesting from other business interests. Lewandowski's authority has also grown at DHS, according to a report from CNN, including making decisions on firing staff, putting staff on leave and involvement in grant funding. Lewandowski has been referred in some media reports as Noem's de facto chief of staff and her gatekeeper. Zoom in: Garcia requested that DHS provide more information about Lewandowski's role and impact at the agency, including: A complete accounting of Lewandowski's workdays, including calendars and device metadata from DHS devices he's used; Documents related to Lewandowski's role in making personnel decisions, including hirings and firings; Documents or communications between Lewandowski and any lobbying or government consulting firms; And documents and communications between Lewandowski and the Office of Government Ethics, including his financial disclosure forms and any adherence to conflicts of interest protocols. What's next: Garcia has requested a response to his questions by Sept. 4. What they're saying:"There is a reason our government has specific rules to ensure Special Government Employees don't cross boundaries or take advantage of their status," Garcia said in a statement to Axios. "Not only does Lewandowski's situation raise severe ethical concerns, but it also undermines public trust and accountability. We will get to the bottom of what is going on and ensure that anyone violating the law is held accountable."

Fed Gov. Lisa Cook says she's not quitting over fraud accusations
Lisa Cook, seen here at a hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. in February of 2022, said Wednesday she won't resign despite allegations of mortgage fraud made in August by U.S. Director of Federal Housing Bill Pulte. File Photo by Ken Cedeno/UPI | License Photo Aug. 21 (UPI) -- Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook responded to calls by President Donald Trump for her to resign, saying she won't step down despite allegations of mortgage fraud made by the Federal Housing leader. Cook responded to Trump's demand that she resign following allegations of fraud made by Federal Housing Finance Agency Director William Pulte on X, adding in a statement shared with The Hill that the mortgage application in question was from four years ago, before she joined the Federal Reserve. "I have no intention of being bullied to step down from my position because of some questions raised in a tweet," Cook said. "I do intend to take any questions about my financial history seriously as a member of the Federal Reserve and so I am gathering the accurate information to answer any legitimate questions and provide the facts." Pulte responded to Cook's statement by calling it a "word salad" on Wednesday and pointed out she did not deny any allegations. "Lying on mortgage applications is a major federal crime with up to 30 years," he then posted Thursday. "Much more will come out about all these loans." Pulte sent out a series of posts Wednesday in regard to a criminal referral he sent to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi and U.S. Pardon Attorney Ed Martin on Friday that alleged Cook "falsified bank documents and property records to acquire more favorable loan terms, potentially committing mortgage fraud" and faked residence statuses for domiciles in Ann Arbor, Michigan and Atlanta in order to receive lower interest rates and improved loan terms. Martin responded to Pulte's referral Wednesday with a one-word post of "Received." Following her statement, Pulte continued to post about Cook and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. "Wow, the Fed is going to be complicit with Mortgage Fraud now?" Pulte posted Wednesday evening. "[Jerome] Powell getting himself into some serious stuff here." Pulte previously expressed a desire to see Powell step down from his role, a sentiment frequently shared by President Donald Trump, who wants the Fed to lower interest rates, but central bankers have instead locked rate cuts as they determine the fiscal impact of tariffs levied by Trump on several countries. As for Cook, Trump had posted to his Truth Social account Wednesday that she "must resign, now!!!" Bondi's Department is already investigating comparable fraud accusations made against Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and Democrat New York Attorney General Letitia James.
