Sanford bar shooting results in two more arrests
Two men from out of the area were recently arrested and charged stemming from shootings outside a Sanford bar on June 7. Adonijah Lafrazier McLain, 22, of Greensboro and Justice Christian Harrington, 26, of Winston-Salem each face charges of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill and carrying a concealed weapon. Sanford police arrested McLain on July 3 and Harrington on July 2, according to eCourts. The shootings stem from an incident around 1:55 a.m. outside Schooly's Bar and Billiards in the 100 block of East Trade Street, according to a previous Sanford Herald report. The incident began as a dispute that erupted in gunfire between several people. Six people were injured. McLain, who formerly lived on Kathleen Terrace, southwest of Barbecue, north of Carolina Lakes Golf Course in Harnett County, was charged with assaulting Harrington, Sean Dimitris Matthews Jr., 26, and Si'Anna Smith, 25. Matthews, of 805 Lower Moncure Road, northeast of Sanford, and Urbano Garcia-Sanchez, 26, of 2109 Louise St. in Sanford, were charged and arrested shortly after the June 7 incident. Matthews was charged with assault with a deadly weapon and discharging a weapon into an occupied property. He posted a $125,000 bond on June 13. Garcia-Sanchez was charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He posted a $100,000 bond on June 9. McLain is being held in the Lee County Jail with a bond of $750,000. He has charges pending in Lee County for carrying a concealed weapon and resisting a public officer stemming from May 22, 2024. He also has charges pending in Cumberland County for expired tag and an equipment violation stemming from April 7, 2025. McLain was convicted of carrying a concealed gun in Harnett County stemming from Feb. 16, 2022. He was sentenced to 45 days in jail with credit for time served. He was also convicted of carrying a concealed gun in Lee County stemming from May 28, 2023 and was sentenced to 30 days in jail and a $688 fine, which as of July 11 he had not paid. In the latter case, charges of possession of a stolen firearm, carrying a concealed weapon, possession of a Schedule 2 drug and drug paraphernalia were dismissed as part of a plea agreement. Details of Harrington's alleged assault were not available in eCourts. He is being held on a $250,000 bond in the Mecklenburg County Jail in Charlotte. Harrington was convicted of discharging a weapon into an occupied property in Harnett County stemming from Feb. 6, 2018. Another similar charge was dismissed, along with three counts of attempted first-degree murder and two counts of discharging a weapon into a moving vehicle. Details of those incidents were not available in eCourts. However, Harrington and Joel Isiah Tutt were charged after a 14-year-old boy in a home on Kathleen Terrace was shot in the stomach and survived, according to

How the Trump assassination attempt changed these rallygoers
BUTLER, Pa. — One year ago, eight bullets fired in under six seconds scarred the American psyche. Millions watched live as Donald Trump abruptly stopped speaking, clutched his ear and then dropped to the ground below a human shield of Secret Service agents. The gunman barely missed: A quarter-inch stood between the now-president of the United States and history-altering calamity. The attempted assassination jolted a fractured nation and transformed the 2024 campaign, boosting Trump in the polls after inspiring a minutes-later endorsement from the world's richest man. It gravely wounded two Pennsylvanians and tore volunteer firefighter Corey Comperatore from his wife and daughters, whom he died trying to protect. It unleashed a torrent of conspiracy theories about the shooter, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, a registered Republican who the FBI said acted alone. It entrenched beliefs that political opponents aren't just disagreeing; they're at war. An American flag became twisted in the wind not long before last year's shooting at the Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. (Jabin Botsford/The Washington Post) The Washington Post caught up with a dozen rallygoers who are still untangling how the brush with death that sweltering July afternoon warped their worlds. Some appeared in images captured by Post photographer Jabin Botsford before, during and after the shooting. Several described a lingering fear of crowds and a yearning to uncover more about how this happened. Others traced dramatic personal upheaval to the day Trump described as when God 'spared my life for a reason' in Butler, Pennsylvania. All said they left changed. Story continues below advertisement Advertisement Ava and her pap How a Marine veteran helped his 10-year-old granddaughter heal Veteran Carl Curtis, who deals with PTSD, didn't want the rally shooting to make Ava feel like an outsider. (Salwan Georges/The Washington Post) 'That's just Pap,' Ava Spencer remembers thinking when her grandfather pointed to the snipers. The 10-year-old girl wasn't interested in the men positioned above them on rooftops, clad in black and what looked like bucket hats. (Kevlar helmets, Pap corrected.) She wanted to see Trump, a celebrity in her western Pennsylvania house. 'Funny,' the fifth-grader called him, 'and always on TV.' It was her idea to brave the rally throngs, which tickled her family, a conservative if not over-the-top MAGA bunch. 'I'm not a Republican first,' Pap liked to say. 'I'm a veteran.' They flew an American flag next to a Marine Corps flag on the rural property the family shared. Ava, her sister and her parents lived on one side of the 2.3-acre lot with the meticulously watered lawn. Pap and Nana Kitty built a gray-paneled home on the other. A U-shaped driveway connected them. That's why they were so close, Ava explained. At the rally, Ava and her grandfather got as close to the stage as they could. (Jabin Botsford/The Washington Post) They'd just settled into the fifth row at the Butler Farm Show when Pap did what Pap does. 'If you hear a loud boom,' he told Ava, gesturing toward the snipers, 'don't stand up and look around. Get down.' She referred to such guidance as 'his military stuff.' Carl Curtis, 58, leads support groups for other veterans. After serving in Kosovo, he deals with PTSD. Deals, not struggles, he says, because he learned how to manage it. In his darker years, though, he told Ava that he felt like 'some kind of alien.' It took a lot of processing to become the grandfather present on Earth, enjoying a giggle while scanning for threats. 'Situational awareness,' he calls it. Not yet 5 feet tall, Ava couldn't see much from her rally seat. So Pap, a longhaired rebel before his ascension to first sergeant, took her suntanned hand and led her to the front. She perched atop a steel security barrier, legs dangling, until a woman in a suit gently ordered her down. They'd both chuckled about that, the novelty of a Secret Service reprimand, before everyone's attention shifted to Trump. Story continues below advertisement Advertisement He was talking about immigration, Ava recalls, when it actually happened — the booms. Her head went blank, and right away, she cowered. An elderly woman knelt next to her, praying. Pap dove over them both. What Ava remembers next is her face being wet and asking, 'Why would someone do that?' 'Idiots,' Pap had replied. That night, she couldn't sleep and clung to her ginger tabby cat, Milkshake. Every loud noise for weeks sent her heart racing. Pap knew how bad it could get. He didn't want the girl feeling like an extraterrestrial. So they talked and talked. Her brain needed to recover from that scare, he told her. Deep breaths. Focus on the green of the grass and the blue of the sky. Now when Ava is buckled in the back seat and hears a car roar past, she doesn't freak out. She turns. She looks. All clear, she thinks before nudging herself to rejoin her family's chatter. 'Situational awareness,' she says. The erstwhile 'rally queen' A haunted Republican leader searches for answers Since the shooting, Erin Autenreith has been hesitant to attend any Trump event. (Salwan Georges/The Washington Post) She'd driven five hours to see Trump at his first inauguration. Two to hear him speak in Erie. But in late May, when her political hero visited a steel plant 25 minutes from her house, Erin Autenreith couldn't bring herself to go. 'I just kept on thinking, 'The last time I saw him, I saw the blood on his face,'' she said. The suburban Pittsburgh real estate agent, 67, told friends she wasn't trying to be dramatic, but she had squeezed into the rally's front row. She was right there. Twenty feet separated her from that streak of crimson. 'It's just ...' Autenreith said, grasping for words, 'stuck in my head.' Story continues below advertisement Advertisement As chair of the Republican Committee of Shaler Township, she receives invitations to all sorts of MAGA events and had once danced within selfie distance of Ivanka Trump grooving to 'YMCA.' A 'rally queen' was what Autenreith called herself before the bullets flew. Butler had been her sixth. Angling to snag a seat near the stage, she'd rolled into town as the sun was rising. So peaceful, she recalls thinking. During her last visit to the fairground, she'd ordered a vanilla milkshake sourced from a cow she could hear mooing. Maybe that's why she assumed the rifle blasts were fireworks. And that Trump had merely slipped, cutting his face on the lectern. What Autenreith remembers most clearly is the blood. Others ran, but she numbly walked away. None of it made sense to her — not in the moment, not months later. Some kid from Bethel Park had scaled the AGR International building with an AR-style firearm? Impossible, she thought, scrolling through conspiracy theories online. Her gut agreed with a New York vlogger claiming that another assailant must have been lurking, even as law enforcement insisted otherwise. Story continues below advertisement Advertisement So consuming was this notion that, a few Sundays ago, Autenreith made another 45-minute trek to Butler. No one was around when she parked below the rooftop where Crooks had opened fire. She stared into the office windows, willing something to click, but no clarity came. 'Some kid could not have pulled that off,' she told herself. So Autenreith watched from her couch when Trump greeted an audience at the U.S. Steel plant in West Mifflin and vowed to protect its workers from layoffs. She wondered if the president himself was protected. How could he be if the vlogger was right that a second attacker was still out there? She certainly didn't feel safe at a rally. Not anymore. The police sergeant encouraging therapy He led the local tactical units guarding Trump. Then came the fallout. 'Nobody is going to quit over this,' Sgt. Ed Lenz told his officers after the shooting. (Salwan Georges/The Washington Post) Sgt. Ed Lenz worried about his officers. As commander of the county tactical units protecting Trump's rally, he'd deployed a force of 44, more than the Secret Service had requested. There were three sniper teams, two counterassault squads and a quick-reaction crew — all there to support the federal agents in charge of security. At no point did the Secret Service instruct them to guard the AGR complex, let alone its roof, Lenz testified to Congress. 'Each and every team member,' he told lawmakers last September, 'took their jobs and their responsibilities seriously.' He wanted to make that clear after the Secret Service's acting director initially blamed local law enforcement before backtracking, categorizing the horror as a 'Secret Service failure.' Yet in the bloodshed's aftermath, the world seemed to point a scathing finger at Lenz's officers. The guilt would be extra toxic, he feared, if anyone was grappling with symptoms of PTSD. Story continues below advertisement Advertisement One of their neighbors, a fellow emergency responder, was dead, and bullets had pierced two others on their turf. (Lenz's wife, a paramedic, treated the victims.) Forty-four officers, he feared, could be wrestling with intrusive thoughts. After the rally, the sergeant doled out another set of orders. 'Nobody is going to quit over this,' he said. 'Nobody is going to get divorced over this. Nobody is going to kill themselves over this.' Without you, he told them, a dark chapter in American history could have been much darker. A Butler officer had spotted the threat first, Lenz continued, and another fired a shot that knocked Crooks off balance, halting the attack before a Secret Service agent killed the would-be assassin. Story continues below advertisement Advertisement Everyone was hard on themselves, regardless, so he urged them to see a clinical psychologist. A few months earlier, one specializing in 'high stress occupations,' according to her online résumé, had joined their department, thanks to a well-timed federal grant. 'Don't just try to suck it up,' Lenz advised the tactical units. 'Go talk to her.' They met weekly (then biweekly, then monthly), too, to work through it together. They gathered with their families for picnics or swims in the public pool. Nobody quit, got divorced or hurt themselves. Lenz doesn't take that for granted. The next step, he said, is sorting out how to extend the grant that funds his department's therapy. It expires in September next year. The doctor starting over He thought he could save his marriage. Not after Butler. James Sweetland and his wife lost track of each other in the chaos of the shooting. (Salwan Georges/The Washington Post) The disagreement began like this: He lost her in the chaos. James Sweetland understands his wife must have been terrified when the shots rang out and people in every direction screamed or stood in a daze or dropped to the ground or bolted off. He could have sworn, though, that she saw him dashing toward the man covered in blood. After five decades in the medical field, his instinct was: Go help, go help, go help. Sweetland, 71, wound up kneeling beside Corey Comperatore, who, he quickly realized, was probably dead. The family physician didn't want to make that call — not with one of Comperatore's daughters right there, weeping — so he performed CPR until the rally's sole casualty was hoisted away on a stretcher. Story continues below advertisement Advertisement When there was no one left to treat and his white American flag T-shirt was soaked in red, Sweetland drifted toward the exit, adrenaline pumping, scanning for his wife. She must have made it out with their friends, he remembers thinking. Strangers kept thanking him. Some called him a hero. One man, an Air Force veteran, placed a hand on his back and asked a question that brings him to tears now when he recounts it. Brother, are you okay? Not really. He'd never been so close to devastation inflicted by an assault rifle. Soon a reporter was talking to him. Then another, their camera out. That's when his wife found him. Fourteen years together. The last two had been tough. They'd already been straining to reconnect in marriage counseling, he said, when his wife put on her star-studded cowboy hat and suggested heading to Butler. Story continues below advertisement Advertisement Sweetland recalls her saying she hadn't known where he'd gone or if he was safe. He remembers her asking: Why was he talking to the press? Why did he court the attention? 'I called his cellphone several times, and he never answered,' she told The Post. 'He was ignoring my phone calls because he was talking to the media.' In the weeks that followed, he said, her questions persisted: Why was he agreeing to speak at political events? Why was he making himself a face of Butler? 'She never wanted to talk about it,' Sweetland said, 'but that was how I coped with it.' Four months after the rally, she filed for divorce. What happened in Butler was not the cause but part of a years-long pattern she found unacceptable, she said. She declined to comment on the specifics. A few weeks later, they sold their four-bedroom house where they'd hosted Super Bowl parties and tended to tomatoes in the garden. Sweetland rented a duplex and picked up shifts at a rural hospital to ease the financial blow. Before the assassination attempt, he said, he thought they could salvage the life they'd built. 'It was the string that you tug,' Sweetland said, 'and the sweater falls apart.' Wendy's journey She was struggling until a chance encounter at the rally changed everything. Wendy Schell almost went to another event on the day she and her son, Grayson, went to the rally. (Salwan Georges/The Washington Post) Where would Wendy Schell be if she hadn't skipped her cousin's wedding that Saturday? If she hadn't flung herself into the dirt and discarded water bottles, shielding her barely teenage son from those eight shots? Maybe still delivering McDonald's bags for DoorDash at age 47. Or stuck in a cramped apartment with an air mattress and moldy walls that her landlord wouldn't fix, despite Schell calling and calling. Her 13-year marriage had ended, and her money was tied up in a house that wouldn't sell. Her passion for promoting alternative Lyme disease treatments wasn't paying the bills, either, but Schell's web advocacy had connected her to a universe of MAHA influencers who raged against government vaccine mandates. Schell shields Grayson during the shooting. (Jabin Botsford/The Washington Post) When one offered her a VIP ticket to the rally near her tiny town on the Beaver River, she couldn't resist. Here was an opportunity for her son, then 13, to witness history, she told her family, rescinding her RSVP'd 'yes' to that wedding. Of course, she couldn't have known what kind of history. 'I wish it had never happened,' she says now, 'but I do not regret going.' For one, she'd been feeling loserish. Her ex-husband was a retired police officer. Respected. He'd asserted that Schell had exposed Grayson to danger, she said, and indeed, guilt gripped her. Crouched on the ground with her boy, she remembers a frustratingly limited view of trash and her black flip-flops. The rest was lost to a memory hole that she ascribes to shock. Story continues below advertisement Advertisement Then Schell saw an image captured by Post photographer Jabin Botsford, one that filled in the gaps. There she was in her 'We the People' dress, ferocity in her eyes, holding Grayson close, protecting him. Not loserish at all. 'It helped me reclaim my power,' she said. Nearby had been Anthony Ellis, a neighbor she'd never met before he joined the VIP section at the rally. He'd just opened a venue for Christian meetups, concerts and podcast recordings, among other events, in a 118-year-old church. Days later, Ellis posted an online callout: Did any Butler survivors want to come speak? Schell did, and the pair never stopped talking. She became his nonprofit's communications director. Ellis, 41, offered Schell and her son real beds on the mold-free third floor of the adjoining residential wing. Now Grayson practices playing his acoustic guitar on the venue's original wood stage. The DoorDash era is over. 'We've had such an amazing year,' she said, 'of finding our purpose.'

A 'fight over social media posts' ended with a fatal shooting, Milwaukee police say
Three family members have been charged in connection with the fatal shooting of a 30-year-old woman in Milwaukee. The people facing charges are 15-year-old Hezile J. Frison and his sister, and mother, Aaliyah J. Frison and Tara T. Hudson. The victim, Ashley Hudson, was Frison's older sister. Frison is charged with one count of first-degree intentional homicide and could face life in prison if convicted.

The shooting took place June 16 around 11 p.m. on the 300 block of West Vliet Street. A fight "over social media posts" took place between the victim and the suspects before Frison allegedly shot her, according to a criminal complaint. Ashley Hudson was pronounced dead at the scene. In a statement, the Milwaukee Police Department said that they are 'disheartened that a family dispute involving a mother, her daughters and 15-year-old son resulted in this tragic and violent death.'
