Mass shooting in Baltimore leaves 6 people wounded, including 5-year-old: police
Baltimore Police responded to a call at around 8: 45 p.m. regarding a shooting at Spaulding and Queensberry Avenues, Police Commissioner Richard Worley said at a news briefing.

WATCH: Jamie Rothwell dances for the camera after arrest by police in Spain
THIS is the moment a dangerous drug and gun gang leader danced for the camera when he was arrested in Spain. Jamie Rothwell was jailed for 39 years, with a further four years on extended licence, at Manchester Crown Court today, Thursday. The 38-year-old used encrypted messaging network EncroChat to orchestrate huge drug and weapon deals, believing he was acting under the radar. He also used the platform to plot two shootings in Warrington, one of which left a man with life-changing injuries after being blasted in the leg by a bogus pizza deliveryman. But he was rumbled when police gained access to the encrypted messages – and when he sent a selfie of himself, allowing officers to attribute him to the 'live-long' handle he was using. In April 2020, following the infiltration of EncroChat by international law enforcement agencies, specialist detectives launched a covert investigation into a large-scale drug, money laundering, and firearms conspiracy. When the encrypted platform was compromised in April 2020, Rothwell was living in Spain and continuing to orchestrate the importation and distribution of drugs, firearms, and criminal cash from abroad. Despite his attempts to evade justice, detectives were able to monitor his encrypted communications in real time. This exposed his command over a sprawling criminal enterprise and his involvement in the trafficking of high-powered weapons, including AK-47 rifles. His drug empire was estimated to have a street value of around £26million, and he was deported back to the UK in 2021 to face trial. The selfie Rothwell sent over EncroChat Rothwell was jailed alongside nine co-conspirators involved in his drug gang, with the nine jailed for a combined 163 years and 10 months. The sentence was welcomed by Wayne Johns, the National Crime Agency's senior investigating officer for Operation Venetic – the UK's response to the EncroChat infiltration. He said: 'The NCA used its global reach to trace and arrest Jamie Rothwell, not just once, but twice, bringing him back from Spain and then Holland when he went on the run a second time. 'Fugitives should take note of the NCA's tenacity in tracing wanted offenders and, working with partners such as GMP and Cheshire Police, we will never give up on finding and returning those who have fled justice. 'More than 2,200 criminals have been convicted under Operation Venetic, and Jamie Rothwell is one of the most dangerous.

"UK law enforcement will continue doing everything possible to protect the public from serious and organised crime.' Rebecca Macaulay Addison, specialist prosecutor for the Crown Prosecution Service added: 'The sentencing of these men concludes five years' work by the CPS, prosecution counsel, Cheshire Police, and Greater Manchester Police, assisted by the NCA. 'The use of EncroChat communication devices as part of their involvement in serious organised criminal activities ultimately led to their offending coming to light. Rothwell was involved in the transfer of an AK-47 submachine gun 'It was evident from EncroChat messages obtained that Jamie Rothwell played a leading role, which included him organising the purchase and supply of class A drugs, firearms, ammunition, and directing acts of extreme violence. 'The others who have been sentenced today and at previous hearings all played their part in the same criminal activities. 'The CPS continues to work tirelessly to ensure that those who engage in such activity are brought to justice. 'We will pursue confiscation proceedings against the defendants to ensure that they do not profit from the money gained through their crimes.'

Why you're probably better off just avoiding Rashee Rice in your fantasy football drafts this season
The 'will he, won't he' nature of Rashee Rice's potential and inevitable suspension saga took another turn Thursday morning. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Rice's disciplinary hearing with the NFL will take place on Tuesday, Sept 30 in New York, which means his suspension would only begin sometime after that date. When Rice entered into a plea bargain stemming from the 2024 multi-car crash in Dallas back in July, fantasy gamers assumed the NFL's disciplinary process would begin soon and Rice would serve his suspension — estimated anywhere from four to eight games — at the start of the season. That's now completely out the window, as he'll be eligible to play in the first four games of the 2025 NFL season. Those matchups include a Week 1 Brazil game with the Chargers, a Super Bowl rematch with the Eagles in Kansas City, a trip to New York vs. the Giants and a home game against the Ravens. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] Beyond the fact that this has been a super laborious and drawn-out disciplinary process for someone who deserves immense scrutiny for what he did, this is straight-up bad for fantasy drafters considering Rice. I firmly believe fantasy content creators have gotten too over-focused on 'the weeks that matter' toward the end of the season rather than hammering how important it is to win in September, as I outline in my Draft Day Blueprint mega-article. However, it's objectively true that the easiest time to fill in the gap around a suspended or injured player is earlier in the season. There are no bye weeks to consider, you haven't sustained injuries yet and the most appealing waiver-wire heroes are often made apparent in the first few weeks of the year. Essentially, you have your whole lineup at your disposal to fill in the gaps. That will no longer be the case if Rice serves his four-to-eight-game suspension anywhere between Weeks 5 and 18. Not that the Chiefs have a Week 10 bye that can't count toward a suspension and there's no guarantee the league hands out punishment right after the September 30 hearing before their Week 5 kickoff against the Jaguars on October 6. We've seen this before. Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott was suspended six games during the 2017 NFL season over accusations of domestic violence. Elliott was originally suspended for the first six weeks of the season but after appeals and court litigation pushed it off, he ended up serving the suspension from Weeks 10 to 15. The process for both situations is an apples-to-apples comparison but the point is the same: You're in the Wild West of projecting when the player will miss time. Yahoo drafters were taking Rashee Rice at an ADP of 61st overall. That seemed more than fair enough of a risk/reward proposition for a player who has been ultra-productive in a terrific offensive ecosystem. Since he entered the league in 2023, Rice has been targeted on 27.4% of his routes, sixth-most among wide receivers who have run 300-plus routes, and ranks seventh in first downs per route run. I do have my concerns about Rice holding up to that level of production long-term, given that he doesn't have the complete WR1 skill set as a man-coverage-beating or downfield receiver that every other name in the top 10 of those two metrics brings to the table. The YAC-based zone-beaters who struggle to beat man coverage can be susceptible to environmental changes more than traditional WR1s. Just look back to JuJu Smith-Schuster's rise and fall for an example of this; I think they're incredibly similar players. However, that's more of a dynasty concern. If Rice is on the field for this Chiefs offense, he's likely ticketed for another year of heavy volume of layup targets as the team's power slot receiver, unless Xavier Worthy takes a massive leap forward. Before Thursday's update, I had Rice ranked 52nd overall and was willing to take the plunge in Round 5 even if he was set to miss the start of the season. Now that the suspension is a complete unknown from a timing perspective, the calculation has to change. I've hammered this over and over again this offseason but the Rounds 5-8 wide receiver draft board is just so appealing. There are even appealing picks all the way into the 110-to-120-overall range. None of those bets are flawless but at least I'm not walking into the season carrying a massive burden of unknown and locking myself into multiple missed games during crucial bye weeks. I won't sink Rice past that 120 overall range or anything like that, but a big dip into the 90s and outside the top-40 wide receivers feels appropriate. There's likely a way to take Rice, start him in the first four weeks and insulate your wide receiver corps with the deep pool of WRs this year to make up for his absent weeks. However, I question if the reward of such a pursuit is as great as the fantasy community may imagine. That's because there is another significant risk factor to Rice's profile that we haven't touched on here yet — and is way too often ignored in the fantasy circles. Rashee Rice is coming off a major injury that ended his 2024 season after less than four games. One of the (slightly galaxy brain) takes in some circles of the fantasy community over the last month — when Rice pled guilty in July — was that missing the first few games of the season may actually be good for Rice. This would allow him to get healthier coming off the significant injury and you wouldn't have to start him in the games he may be working back into form. Instead, you'd just plug him into the lineup when he's close to fully operational after four, six or however many games he missed. I'm not sure if that ever made sense but either way, that's out the window now. You're now getting Rice for those first four games when he may indeed be working back from that injury. And just because he's been practicing, you've seen some nice-looking clips of him and the team is saying he looks good, does not mean you are guaranteed anything close to 100% Rice when the real games begin. Drafters made this exact same mistake with Tank Dell last season for all the same reasons listed. Despite participating fully in the offseason, Dell was not productive to start the year, averaging 32.3 yards per game, 9.7 yards per catch and scoring just once in the first seven weeks of last season. It took no time at all when turning on the film in September to see that, while there was a wide receiver out there wearing No. 3 for the Houston Texans playing a normal snap count, that guy didn't play anything like the Tank Dell we saw cut through secondaries as a rookie before going on IR with a lower body injury. Dell eventually returned closer to form as the year wound down, but this still provides a cautionary tale when discussing Rice's projections early in 2025. We act like these guys are names on a spreadsheet, or players in Madden. They're not. Just because they're out there on the field doesn't mean they are capable of performing at their normal level when working back from something significant. Sometimes, it's the year after the year following the injury. Rice's 'ramp up back to normal in-game performance' phase could be in the first four weeks when he's eligible to play and is then whisked away from your lineup the moment he's turning the corner. That's not to mention how coming back from an injury like this may, at best, temporarily sap some of his explosiveness early in the season, which is troubling for a wideout who doesn't win down the field with nuance or separation, but rather as a hammerhead with speed and power in the open field. Maybe all of that worry is for naught and he's fantastic in the first four weeks of the season. That's within the range of outcomes. However, the risk is present and I don't see any of that discussed in the analysis of him from a fantasy standpoint, nor is it at all baked into either his current ADP or even where he was going in best-ball drafts prior to the July plea bargain. Rashee Rice is one of the riskiest propositions on the board in fantasy football drafts this year. It would be one thing if it were a simple four-game suspension to start the year. It's not. It's an unknown length of absence that will come in the middle of the season for a player working back from a significant injury, a player who inhabits a somewhat fragile role as a YAC-based zone-beater for an offense that desperately needs to find a downfield dimension. What if Xavier Worthy takes off in Year 2 as a vertical threat at the start of the season and only cements himself further while Rice is suspended? Are we absolutely confident that Rice returns to the type of outrageous volume he was getting in Weeks 1 to 3 last year? You have to be certain to wade into the incredibly clouded waters that now define his 2025 season. With how strong the wide receiver board is after Round 5, with a litany of appealing bets — some early in their career and others undervalued veterans — there are just too many ways the Rice selection can go wrong. He's a pretty easy avoid for me inside the top 90 selections and there are too many analysts focused on that per route efficiency for me to imagine he falls farther than that.

Recent videos of FBI and DEA agents patrolling the streets of Georgetown — a D.C. neighborhood — wearing tactical gear have gone viral online. FNTV / Twitter: @ScooterCasterNY Related: "If we need to, we're going to do the same thing in Chicago, which is a disaster," Trump said in a recent press conference. "We have a mayor there that's totally incompetent. He's an incompetent man." It's important to note that, according to FBI statistics, violent crime in Chicago is down. Well, the mayor of Chicago was repeatedly asked by a reporter to respond to Trump calling him "incompetent," and his response is going super-viral. "What do you say to Donald Trump? How did you feel when Donald Trump called you 'incompetent?' Please answer that question if you will," a reporter asked from the crowd. Related: "OK. Fine. Since you are begging," Johnson replied to the reporter. The reporter then tried to interrupt, but Johnson continued. "So let me just answer that. I do appreciate you begging," he repeated. "So, I will just say it like this, that the President has always been intimidated by the intellectual prowess of Black men." Related: "And so, of course, he would speak in those petite and puerile terms, because he's small."
