Detroit prom send off turns chaotic when shots ring out near MLK High School
The Brief A Detroit high school's prom sendoff turned terrifying for students after shots rang out on the city's west side. Approximately 20 rounds were fired near MLK Senior High at a time when students were taking pictures. Detroit police are now searching for a person-of-interest who was caught on security footage. DETROIT (FOX 2) - High school students gussied up in their dresses and suits were celebrating their prom at a Detroit high school when shots rang out. Police are now looking for the man accused of firing approximately 20 rounds on Detroit's east side. What we know An individual fired approximately 20 rounds near a Detroit high school early Thursday evening. No one was injured, but dozens of students getting ready for their senior prom were sent fleeing. It happened in the 3200 block of E. Lafayette, near Martin Luther King High School around 8:30 p.m. Police are searching for a Black male who was wearing a white zip-up, identifying him as a person-of-interest. Local perspective Davon Hall was among those near the school when shots rang out. He said the scene was "hectic, scary" and chaotic with kids running in different directions. Kids flying out of here in all type of cars, traffic everywhere. Police just sitting there," he said. "It was a secure area but it turned crazy like a movie real quick." Hall was taking photos and videos of the students decked out in suits and dresses, readying up for prom, when the shots rang out. "I recorded just instantly and I start seeing the kids running around and following them. I was trying to be as aware as I could," he said. He was left dejected by the picture the tarrying scene painted for the area. "We are not like this. King high school has been elevated and has been bringing nothing but good news to the community. This is something that is so depressing," said Hall. Dig deeper Maurice Hardwick, who goes by Pastor Mo and frequently commentates on community violence and the impact it has on young people, echoed Hall's sentiment. "When bullets fly people die. We can't have a shooting around a school, around a prom, around a graduation - anything like that," Hardwick said. "You didn't deserve to be scared like that, you didn't deserve to have bullets ring out on your one night of celebration like that." Hardwick works with Living Peace Movement. He said more mentorship is needed to stamp out the kind of gun violence that rang out Thursday evening. "Celebrate and keep on achieving and use this as a tool to say 'I'm not going to be involved in violence,'" he said. What you can do Police are searching for the individual and want anyone who was in the area at the time to give them a call. They may also ring Crime Stoppers at 1-800 Speak Up.

'King of the Hill' Revival Announces New Voice Actor for Dale Gribble
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. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors There is a lot of news surrounding the new "King of the Hill" revival, including the new opening that showcases a massive time jump, new life events for Hank, Peggy, Bobby, and their best friends, along with a brand-new announcement regarding Dale Gribble. Read more: 'King of the Hill' Revival: Release Date, Cast, Plot for Hulu Reboot Gribble was shown in the new opening as running for mayor of Arlen, which is sure to be explored in the revival. However, there were many questions regarding how the conspiracy theorist was going to be involved in the show, considering voice actor Johnny Hardwick passed away in 2023. Now, Deadline has revealed the "King of the Hill" revival has cast a brand-new voice actor in place of Hardwick. Toby Huss has been tapped to voice the conspiracy-minded Dale Gribble in 'King of the Hill's upcoming Season 14 revival. He takes over the role voiced by the late Johnny Hardwick, who portrayed the character in the show's original 13-year run — Deadline (@DEADLINE) May 30, 2025 According to the report, longtime comedic actor Toby Huss will take over voice duties for Gribble. Deadline also indicated that Hardwick completed six episodes before his death, and will be credited as a series regular. "He takes over the role voiced by the late Johnny Hardwick, who portrayed the character in the show's original 13-year run, appearing in 257 of 258 episodes. Hardwick died in 2023. Due to the long lead time on animated shows, he had completed six episodes before he passed, and will be credited as a series regular on those episodes until they have aired and Huss takes over the role. Hardwick had been with the Emmy-winning animated series since its debut in 1997 through its final episode on Fox in 2010. He also served as a writer and a story editor during his run on the show," Deadline reported. It is fantastic that the series creator, Mike Judge, found a way to ensure that the spirit of Dale Gribble continued on. As far as Huss, he should be well-known to fans of the "King of the Hill" series. He not only voiced Hank's bothersome neighbor, Kahn Souphanousinphone, but he also was the voice of Cotton Hill — Hank's domineering and veteran father. Huss is credited with 164 episodes from 1997-2010 for both characters. Read more: 'King of the Hill' Revival Reveals New Opening and a Much Older Bobby Hill The new "King of the Hill" revival will be streamed exclusively on Hulu and has a release date of August 4. Joining Huss are Judge as Hank and Boomhauer. Kathy Najimy as Peggy, Pamela Adlon as Bobby, and Stephen Root as Bill Dauterive. The aforementioned opening not only confirms that the Hill family left Arlen, Texas, for some time. Bobby is now far older, as the family has returned, and will presumably meet back up with some of the most beloved characters from the original show.

Dimma hopes Bolton knowledge can help Suns set Dockers
Damien Hardwick hopes his added insight into Shai Bolton will help stop the Fremantle star recruit tearing Gold Coast apart. Hardwick was at the helm of Richmond when Bolton played in two of the Tigers' three flags over four years before both departed the club over the past two seasons. Bolton landed at the Dockers in a high-profile trade at the end of last year, while Hardwick is in his second season in charge at the Suns after leaving the Tigers mid-way through 2023. Hardwick revealed Bolton, who has kickd 13 goals across 10 games while also having an impact through the midfield at his new club, had been a focus of their preparations ahead of the People First Stadium clash on Saturday. Shai Bolton. Credit: Paul Kane / Getty Images 'Shai is a bit of a barometer for them. I think when he is in good form, they are in good form,' Hardwick said. 'We'll have a good understanding (of him), we showed some vision of Shai at his best and what that looks like.' Hardwick said coaching Bolton across six and a half years shoudl held in preparing for him as an opponent. One of Hardwick's assistants, premiership Tiger Shaun Grigg, is also a former teammate of Bolton's, as well as Gold Coast star recruit Daniel Rioli. 'We've got a fair idea of how he plays the game and what his strengths are,' Hardwick added. 'It's good to know those (but) tough to stop. He's a wonderful player and been a great addition for their footy club. '(He's) one I'm sort of making sure won't play that well but he's hard to stop.' Wil Powell could get the match-up on Shai Bolton. Credit: Michael Willson / AFL Photos Hardwick teased West Australian defender Wil Powell could get the match-up on Bolton, depending on whether he plays predominately in the midfield or forward. He praised Powell, a former first-round pick drafted out of Claremont, as an 'unbelievable' player that didn't get the recognition he deserved. 'I think I knew how good he was (before coming to the Suns) but until you see him up close, he's capable of playing on anyone. He can play on talls and smalls, he's done a wonderful job on those smaller players over the last couple of weeks. 'The Bolton match up is a different one again, is he more midfielder or his he more forward? Does he play up high, does he play down deep? We're going to have some challenges with that, the communication of our backs is going to be really, really important.'

Suns to demand AFL answers over 'manhandled' forwards
Gold Coast coach Damien Hardwick intends to have a "very strong conversation" with the AFL umpiring department after accusing St Kilda of manhandling his key forwards. Ben King, Jed Walter and Ethan Read managed just three goals between them in the Suns' 12.8 (80) to 8.13 (61) win at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Coleman Medal contender King didn't have a kick for three quarters, kept quiet by Callum Wilkie, but finished with two important goals in the final term. Walter kicked one major from nine disposals and Read was scoreless from five touches before being subbed out in the third quarter. Hardwick admitted his charges were down on form against the Saints but wasn't happy with what he perceived as unfair treatment by opposition defenders. "There'll be a very strong conversation coming from my coaching panel to the umpiring fraternity this week," Hardwick said. "We didn't get a hell of a lot of reward for our one-on-one contests. "You can sit there and you want an even battle, and we understand that, but I thought our guys were manhandled all day today. "They're young and they're inexperienced, so they'll get better at handling it, but they've also got to be given a fair chance." Hardwick's demands from the umpiring department will be straightforward. "Just some clarification around what we can and can't do, but more importantly how our players can combat it," he said. "Like, what do you want to see from our guys? "We don't want them to play for free kicks but we also want them to be able to run and jump at the ball." Hardwick intends to keep playing the three talls together in attack, with the Suns next meeting a Fremantle side set to be without key defender Alex Pearce through suspension. "We understand they're going to have ups and downs," Hardwick said. "There's two teenagers there and Kingy, who's plying his craft. I thought he kicked some really important goals late (against St Kilda). "But they'll learn from it, they'll grow from it and we've got to remember they're 19 years of age. "There's not many other clubs around the AFL that are playing two 19-year-old key forwards. They're going to be wonderful players for a long period of time for us."

Damien Hardwick returns serve over Ross Lyon's ‘disrespectful' remark towards Gold Coast: ‘AFL's nepo baby'
Gold Coast coach Damien Hardwick has returned serve after St Kilda coach Ross Lyon described the Suns as 'the AFL's nepo baby'. A historically low crowd of just 13,486 fans turned up at Marvel Stadium on Sunday to watch the Saints lose by 19 points. Lyon pre-empted the defeat by mocking top-four hopefuls Gold Coast and the AFL when asked about the looming tactical battle in an interview before the game. 'I'm a little bit concerned. They're chock full of talent, aren't they — the AFL nepo baby,' he said on Fox Sports, looking back at the camera with a laugh. Lyon immediately moved to talk tactics, pinpointing the impact of two Suns recruits in Daniel Rioli and John Noble, rather than expanding on his thoughts about Gold Coast's previous draft concessions. But the disparaging nickname was enough for Hardwick to take aim in his press conference after the 12.8 (80) to 8.13 (61) win. 'Nepo baby?' he laughed. 'Oh, it's a little bit disrespectful, I think. 'Trust me, I've been at Richmond and I've come to the Gold Coast — we don't get a lot.' Hardwick then called out the damning crowd figure that was the Saints' lowest at Marvel Stadium outside of COVID seasons. 'What probably St Kilda should do is just make sure they focus on their own backyard instead of trying to bring everyone else down,' he said. 'You know, 13,000 people here today (pause) ... we'll just focus on Gold Coast, they should focus on themselves. 'End of the day, first person or first place you need to look is inward. 'So focus on them, we'll focus on us.' Hardwick said 'no, not particularly' when asked if he would seek to discuss it with Lyon — but Suns chief executive Mark Evans took a different path. He reportedly 'confronted' St Kilda boss Carl Dilena. 'I thought the comments were offensive and out of line,' Evans told SEN afterwards. 'If there is any club in the world that might have an understanding that progress isn't always linear that would be St Kilda.' Lyon's shot at Gold Coast is St Kilda's latest salvo in their war on the AFL draft, father-son and academy systems under president Andrew Bassat. In a win for the Saints, the draft index will be adjusted this year to play down the father-son and academy advantage — but not scrapped. Hardwick's reference towards the crowd figure also comes after Bassat was accused on The Agenda Setters of 'talking down' Marvel Stadium as the Saints' home ground. Lyon wasn't overly concerned about the low attendance figure, putting it down to several factors. 'I don't think it's my brief,' he said. 'But timeslot, interstate (opponent), low membership/following, expansion club, our performance against West Coast the week before — I think it all goes into the melting pot.' St Kilda's loss to Gold Coast dropped the Victorian side to 14th on the ladder to finish Round 11. The Suns, meanwhile, can keep dreaming of a top-two finish. Hardwick entered the contest with a horror 1-9-1 record as a coach at Marvel Stadium since his infamous declaration when in charge of Richmond four years ago that he hated playing there. But Suns captain Noah Anderson (36 disposals, 11 clearances) and former skipper Touk Miller (30 touches, one goal) helped ensure the latest visit had a happy ending. Ben Long kicked three majors against his former team, while Sam Collins marshalled the Gold Coast defence. The only sour note for the Suns was a right ankle injury to Mac Andrew, who limped off with five minutes left in his 50th game. Hardwick said the key defender would be 'touch and go' for next Saturday's home clash with Fremantle. - with AAP
