In footage captured by Fox 5, officers were seen carrying a bloodied victim while others tended to a person lying on the ground outside. Witnesses reported hearing gunshots echoing through the area around nearby 51st Street and Park Avenue. One told the NY Post: 'It sounded like a barrage of shots …Like an automatic weapon. Like a high-capacity weapon.' A heavy police presence quickly flooded the block as officers from both the NYPD and the Sheriff's Department arrived in tactical gear with weapons drawn. At least one police officer was shot in a shootout with the gunman and is in critical condition, senior law enforcement officials told NBC News. Another civilian was also shot and remains in critical condition. According to reports on X, the terrifying attack prompted a Level 3 mobilization, one of the highest alerts, bringing in counter-terrorism units, a bomb squad, and a heavy weapons team. Emergency medical units were seen rushing to the 44th floor, while reports suggest the suspect may have barricaded himself on the 32nd floor. Hundreds of people are now said to be sheltering in place inside the skyscraper as elite units continue to comb the floors. The NYPD has urged the public to steer clear of the area as the situation remains active. The force said in a post on X: "Expect emergency vehicles & delays in the surrounding area."

Beyoncé fans hospitalized from ‘stampede' after her ‘Cowboy Carter' show in Atlanta
Multiple Beyoncé fans were injured early Tuesday when a screaming train passenger sparked a stampede after Queen Bey's latest show in Atlanta. Terrifying video from the scene shows people being led into ambulances on stretchers or in wheelchairs, some of them wearing cowboy hats after the star's 'Cowboy Carter' tour at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium. As fans streamed out of the show into the nearby Vine City MARTA station, a passenger started screaming and running — triggering a stampede on the escalator, officials told Atlanta News First. 4 8 were hospitalized after a 'stampede' at a train station following a Beyoncé concert. Atlanta News First That caused the escalator to speed up — before it suddenly stopped, leaving fans 'smashed together' with multiple passengers falling on them, one witness told Fox 5. One person suffered a broken ankle and seven others were taken to the hospital with cuts and scrapes, Fox 5 reported. 4 People were seen being led away on stretchers or in wheelchairs.

MARTA and the Atlanta Fire Department did not respond immediately to requests for comment. 4 She was performing as part of her 'Cowboy Carter' tour.

Atlanta News First It came after unreleased Beyoncé music was stolen from an SUV belonging to a member of the singer's team in Atlanta.

Distracted dad left gun in reach of toddler, 2, who shot himself
A two-year-old boy is in the hospital after accidentally shooting himself in the arm with a gun his father left out. 27-year-old father, Oscar Guerra, was arrested and charged with one felony count of child abuse after his son grabbed the gun from the couch in Phoenix, Arizona. The boy's mother told police it's not the first time Guerra had left a gun out, and she had warned him to keep his guns secured. Guerra reportedly took out the gun to clean it, but began watching videos on his computer and forgot about it. Police were called around 10.40 pm on July 9, and found Guerra and his son, who was injured with a gunshot to his left arm. The tot was taken to the hospital and has non-life-threatening injuries, police said, but Guerra is facing a prison sentence for the accident. He said he saw his son walk into the room, but thought he had gone back to his bedroom when he heard a gunshot. Guerra is out of jail without bail, but is facing nine years in prison if convicted. The shooting comes months after another two-year-old shot his twin with a gun he found at home. It's not clear how the toddler got access to the weapon while at home on Robin Hood Lane in Hampton, Georgia. 'It was so scary, a terrible feeling', neighbour Melanie Pressley told local TV news station Fox 5. 'We knew something terrible had happened.' For hours, police searched inside and outside of the white bungalow, set back from the road, where emergency service vehicles were parked in a row. Toy cars and tricycles were lined up near swings in the garden where children might otherwise be playing. Such incidents are more common than you might think in the US, where guns are a leading cause of unintentional injury among children. More Trending Five-year-old boy, Brooks Thomas Wilson, died after shooting himself with a gun he found while playing in his parents' bedroom last August. A single shot struck him in the head. His obituary said Brooks 'lived his life to the fullest and always wore his heart on his sleeve'. The month before, Nakyzi Odums shot himself in the chest in a Walmart parking lot, where his parents had left him in the car while they went to buy fireworks. He died three days later at hospital in Douglas, Georgia. Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at webnews@ For more stories like this, check our news page.

ICE Arrest Man After Green Card Taken Away
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Immigration agents reportedly confiscated a man's green card during an encounter at Los Angeles International Airport earlier this month, according to Fox 5 San Diego. Raul Sanchez, a long-term permanent resident from the South Bay area, was apprehended by federal authorities on July 2 and has since been held at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Otay Mesa. Newsweek has contacted the Department of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Protection, ICE, as well as the family for comment.

Javits Federal Building in New York, Tuesday, June 10, 2025. yU/AP Why It Matters The family has been left devastated by the separation under President Donald Trump's crackdown on undocumented immigrants. The White House has said anyone living in the country illegally is considered to be a "criminal." The administration is enacting plans to carry out what it calls the largest deportation operation in U.S. history as part of the Republicans' hardline immigration agenda. In addition to people living in the country without legal status, immigrants with valid documentation, including green cards and visas, have been detained. Newsweek has revealed dozens of cases involving green card holders and applicants who were swept up in the ICE raids. What To Know Sanchez, 50, was detained while driving to an immigration appointment in San Ysidro, near his home, Fox 5 San Diego reported. His daughter, Alejandra Sanchez, told the outlet the ordeal began in April when her parents returned from a trip to Europe. "My dad has been separated from us, and there could be a possibility of him completely being removed from us," his daughter, Alejandra Sanchez, told Fox 5 San Diego. Brought to the U.S. from Mexico as a toddler, Sanchez has lived in California for nearly five decades. According to his family, he built a life as a devoted father, husband and hard-working member of his community. But a nonviolent drug conviction from 2001, for which he served time in his 20s, has resurfaced amid the Trump administration's more aggressive enforcement priorities. Immigration attorney Saman Nasseri told Fox 5 San Diego that many old cases like Sanchez's are now being reopened. Newsweek has previously revealed allegations of misconduct and abuse at ICE-run detention centers in Otay Mesa, California, including cases of sexual assault, medical neglect, and mistreatment of migrants. What People Are Saying Alejandra Sanchez told Fox 5 San Diego: "We have a huge community rallying around him and a lot of people aware of what's going on." Attorney Saman Nasseri told Fox 5 San Diego: "I have about a dozen or so cases from 12-13 years ago that are now getting reopened with the court too."
