Man arrested on charges he shot woman in her Naperville home Friday night
A Chicago man who allegedly shot a woman in her home Friday night has been arrested on two felony charges, according to DuPage County court records. The suspect, 33-year-old Carnell Polsey, was faces one count each of reckless discharge of a firearm and aggravated battery. He was denied pretrial release at a court appearance Saturday. The 33-year-old victim told police she returned to her home in the 1800 block of Santa Fe Drive about 8:30 p.m. to allegedly find Polsey lying in the living room holding a handgun and smelling of alcohol, records said. While the two were no longer a couple after dating for about 15 years, the woman had been allowing Polsey to stay with her for about three weeks. When she asked Polsey why he had a gun, he allegedly told it was for protection, the report said. The woman said him guns were not supposed to be inside the house and told him to leave, according to her account. As she walked to her bedroom where her 9- and 15-year-old sons were sleeping, she 'heard a pop' and started bleeding from her leg, according to court records. Police were called and the victim initially taken to Edward Hospital in Naperville before being moved to Good Samaritan Hospital, where court records say she was last reported to be in stable condition. The victim told police she thinks Polsey shot her by accident because he was allegedly intoxicated, court records state. The children also told police that Polsey was drunk that evening. Polsey also allegedly kicked a Naperville police officer in the torso as he was being placed inside a squad car, according to court records. Two firearms were recovered from the scene: a polymer P90 unserialized firearm — commonly referred to as a 'ghost gun' — and a 1911 .45-caliber pistol. Court records also said Polsey, who told police he hadn't intended to fire the gun, did not possess a Firearm Owners Identification card. His next court appearance is scheduled for Aug. 11. The Naperville Police Department did not put out a news release on the shooting over the weekend because 'these types of incidents are often joint releases with the (DuPage) county,' Naperville police Cmdr. Rick Krakow said in an email.

Homeowners sue Long Island hospital over damage they say was caused by construction vibrations
LONG ISLAND - More than 30 homeowners in West Islip are suing Good Samaritan Hospital, claiming vibrations from a nearby construction project damaged their homes, left walls cracked, and made their properties nearly uninhabitable. What we know Neighbors say ongoing construction at Good Samaritan hospital has shaken their homes so badly that, at times, it was mistaken for an earthquake. A cell phone video taken by the Roth family shows pictures on their wall shaking. The Roth family and more than 30 other homeowners are suing the hospital, claiming the damage — including foundational cracks, crumbling steps, and shifted windows — was caused by intense vibrations and shockwaves from the hospital construction site. According to their attorneys, engineers inspected the homes and found consistent damage patterns. They estimate repairs will cost at least $10 million. The other side In a statement to FOX 5, Catholic Health — the hospital system that oversees Good Samaritan Hospital and is named in the lawsuit — said they have "taken proactive steps to keep residents informed and address concerns." They deny that the damage is linked to their construction work and instead attribute the issues to a FEMA-funded flood resiliency project.
