Grandmother of suspect in school graduation shooting plot: 'I think it's crazy'
The Brief Jamarion Hardiman and a 19-year-old co-conspirator allegedly hid two loaded firearms with 80 rounds of ammunition under vehicles at the venue. The plot was uncovered after a fight at the ceremony and a tip about a Snapchat threat, though a motive is not yet known. Hardiman's grandmother spoke to FOX 2 and said she is in disbelief at the charges. FOX 2 - A shooting at a Pontiac high school graduation ceremony was foiled by police with two suspects taken into custody. What they're saying On Friday night, one of the suspect's relatives spoke to FOX 2, in disbelief. She says there is no way her grandson would ever be involved in something like this because he has a child of his own and would be throwing his life away to prison. But the Oakland County Sheriff's Office says they uncovered a plot that they link directly to Jamarion Hardiman and another man all thanks to a tip a witness saw on Snapchat. "I think it's crazy. I really do," said Lavonda Newburn. Newburn finds it hard to believe her grandson, 20-year-old Jamarion Hardiman would be wanted for allegedly planning a mass shooting at a Pontiac high school graduation, but that's exactly why Oakland County law enforcement says they took him into custody. "He knows that's prison time," she said. "Anybody know that. He's only 20. He ain't trying to throw away his life. And that's what he would be doing if he was doing a massive (sic) shooting." Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard announced Hardiman's arrest hours after making a plea for him to surrender. A 19-year-old was also nabbed. Related Oakland County Sheriff averted mass shooting at school graduation Second suspect arrested for planning Pontiac mass shooting, sheriff said Investigators allege the two planted weapons under cars at a graduation ceremony held for Art and Technology Academy at the United Wholesale Mortgage sports complex on Tuesday. Deputies originally got to the scene for a fight when a witness told them about a message on Snapchat said to include a threat to open fire on the ceremony. "I believe that probably prevented a mass shooting when you consider the weapons that were there," Bouchard said. "The individuals that were involved who had a history of being involved with weapons." Dig deeper Law enforcement worked with staff security at the event and said they found evidence pointing to the suspects placing these guns under vehicles, including a black and pink firearm and a Glock both set with 80 rounds between them. FOX 2: "The investigators are saying this was a foiled mass attack." "Oh that's crazy. Because there was no shooting at all," Newburn said. "They had no shooting in there. I saw the whole video. I was up there and I still ain't seen no shooting happen yet." FOX 2: "What kind of guy is he? What kind of person is he? "Well he just likes to play basketball and run around with a couple friends," she said. "He don't have a lot of friends. " Newburn says that Hardiman doesn't have a gun and doesn't know of any circumstance that could lead to this. "I don't know. That I can't answer, but I know he didn't have a gun, so, and I don't know about who was with him," she said. "I don't know that person or none of that. " Sheriff Bouchard says neither suspect is enrolled at the school and the motive is not clear. Lavonda Newburn says she stands behind her grandson. "I talk to my grandson every day," she said. "Every day. My daughter has four kids. I talk to all of them every day." FOX 2: "And he never said anything that would indicate a problem or a concern ? "No. But I do know the boys jumped on him," she said. "I don't know who had a gun but they was just all fighting. Not shooting at each other, so I don't know where the massive shooting come from or none of that." Bouchard says Hardiman is on probation for a weapons charge and has a criminal history involving violence. FOX 2 asked what the motive may have been but Sheriff Bouchard only said people are quick to violence these days. He also said he supports criminal justice reform for non-violent offenders but believes the system needs to do a better job of holding people connected to violent crime responsible. The Source Information from Sheriff Bourchard and an interview with Lavonda Newburn was used in this report.

BMW Charity Pro-Am raises over $16 million for S.C. charities
GREENVILLE, S.C. (WSPA) — At the BMW Charity Pro-Am golf tournament, their mission is all about giving back to local charities. For 25 years, the BMW Charity Pro-Am has been in 'full swing,' bringing a fun tournament to the Upstate while raising money for charities across the state. 'Oh, they love it,' Jeff Morris, Executive Director of Folds of Honor for the Palmetto State also said. 'They are calling me as soon as we are finished,' Chrystal Assadzandi, Charity and Volunteer Coordinator for the BMW Charity Pro-Am, said. 'I get a lot of calls saying 'how can we participate? How can we be a part?'' In 2001, the tournament was created to showcase the beauty of the South Carolina Upstate, while bringing locals, celebrities, and professional golfers together. It's aimed to raise money and awareness for South Carolina charities. One of those charities that has been impacted is Folds of Honor. 'I have had many veterans come up to me and they are so grateful to have the opportunity to come watch a golf tournament, come into the hospitality suite, interact with other veterans,' Morris said. 'It is amazing when you hear them, and they just go in there and they swap stories.' Morris said since Folds of Honor's involvement with the BMW Charity Pro-Am began in 2018, their group has been awarded around $250,000. The charity offers educational scholarships to the children and spouses of military and first responders. Funding for Folds of Honor, along with the more than 50 charities involved in this year's tournament, is raised in many ways, including through donations, ticket sales, and volunteer programs. BMW leaders said hundreds of charities have been impacted through this tournament over the past 25 years, and the money raised for them has not slowed down. 'We have given back in the past 25 years over $16 million to charities right here in the Upstate,' Assadzandi said. The BMW Charity Pro-Am will run through Sunday, June 8. For the final two days of the tournament, it's being held at the Thornblade Club in Greenville. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Report: Most 2026 BMW Models Will Receive a Price Hike on July 1
BMW will raise prices on many of its 2026 models starting on July 1, according to a report from CarsDirect. The increase will amount to about 2 percent of the existing MSRP, with the price hike ranging from $1100 to $2500. Several models will escape the price bump, including the 2026 iX SUV and 2026 M2 coupe. The vast majority of BMW models will likely get more expensive starting next month. As reported by CarsDirect, a bulletin was sent to BMW dealerships last week stating that the MSRP of most 2026 BMW models will go up by 1.9 percent beginning on July 1, 2025. The price increases will reportedly not affect 2025 BMW inventory. BMW has so far released pricing for many, but not all, of its 2026 model year lineup, with pricing for models such as the 7-series, X1, and 2-series not yet available. The nearly 2 percent price increase also won't affect every model in BMW's lineup. The main exceptions are its 2026-model-year EVs, the i5 and the iX. (Pricing for the 2026 i4 and i7 has not been published.) The Alpina XB7, 2026 2-series Gran Coupe, and 2026 M2 are also reportedly unaffected. BMW On the top end, the price hikes amount to $2500 for models such as the X5 M, which rises from $127,200 to $129,700, according to CarsDirect. The lowest increases are for the 4-series Coupe and Z4 roadster, which each see a bump of $1100. These figures exclude the destination fee, which Car and Driver reports as part of the price, and it's unclear if the freight charge will change for any BMW models when the calendar turns to July. CarsDirect says the bulletin doesn't blame the import tariffs implemented by the U.S. government for the price hikes, instead stating that the rises are "in line with past pricing communications, and account for inflation and enhancements to standard equipment where applicable." Slight increases in the MSRP are common for new model years, but we wouldn't be surprised if the tariffs are also playing a factor. A previous report from Automotive News stated that BMW wouldn't raise prices on imported models until the end of June. We've reached out to BMW for comment regarding these reported price increases and will update the story if we hear back.
