Father kills son with autism, 10, family dog and self in apparent murder-suicide in home where missing daughter, 20, was also found dead
A troubled father fatally shot his autistic son and the family dog before turning the gun on himself inside their Oklahoma home — where his wife had taken her own life three years earlier, according to police and reports. Rodney Shippy, 58, who was found with a self-inflicted gunshot wound, allegedly killed his 10-year-old son, Logan, in an apparent murder-suicide at their ill-fated Broken Arrow residence, the Broken Arrow Police Department announced. Police discovered the slain bodies and the dead pooch Wednesday afternoon while serving a search warrant after concerned out-of-state relatives reported that Shippy's daughter, Alyssa, had been missing since November. 5 Rodney Shippy, his son and his daughter were found dead inside of their home. KJRH The 20-year-old's lifeless body was later found inside the disheveled home. A medical examiner is working to confirm her cause of death, police said. 'We are heartbroken to share that two beloved members of our family, Alyssa and Logan (brother and sister) passed away tragically and unexpectedly,' the children's grief-stricken family wrote on a GoFundMe. 'Their loss has left our family in deep grief and unprepared for the financial burden that comes with arranging their funerals.' 5 Police found the bodies inside the home on Wednesday afternoon. KJRH The grim discovery marks the latest in a series of tragic deaths that have haunted the family since August 2022, when the disturbed father's wife, Lisa Shippy, 41, killed herself at the same West Roanoke Street house, KJRH reported. Five months later, Lisa's mother, Diane Carpenter, 56, was stabbed to death by her husband, 66-year-old Kenny Carpenter, who then shot himself during a four-hour standoff with police in South Broken Arrow. 5 Relatives and neighbors claimed Logan was nonverbal and said the home was 'not suitable' for children. KJRH Neighbors and loved ones, who said Logan was nonverbal, described the family's doomed residence as 'not suitable' for children, adding that the tormented father became increasingly isolated following his wife's death. 'No running water, trash — looked like a completely different house,' relative Patti Williams told the outlet. '[Rodney] seemed to be holding it together for months after [Lisa] passed … then he started estranging himself to everyone.' 5 Trash covered the floor of the home when police arrived on the scene. KJRH While a motive behind the heinous slaying remains unknown, public records suggest that Shippy was on the verge of losing his house, which he purchased with his wife in 2021, People reported. In January, US Bank National Association filed a foreclosure notice on the residence in Tulsa County District Court, citing $135,000 in unpaid principal. Rodney was given until June to respond to the court notice, records showed. As the investigation continues, Williams said the children's lives were savagely cut short. 5 Police have not yet released a motive for the brutal killings. KJRH 'Logan was so smart, eager to learn, everyone who met him loved him,' Williams told KJRH. 'Alyssa was a bright light in this world. She had a beautiful life ahead of her, and I feel like their lives are stolen from them.'

Fed set to hold rates steady despite 'as good as it gets' inflation print
A cooler inflation reading from the month when President Trump's tariffs went full blast likely won't shake the Federal Reserve's stance of holding interest rates steady, with policymakers still seeing a risk that duties push prices higher as the year progresses. "We'll have to wait until next month to get a real sense of how tariffs are affecting the economy," Morgan Stanley Wealth Management chief economic strategist Ellen Zentner said. "The question isn't whether tariffs will have an impact, it's a question of how big that impact will be." The "core" Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index — which strips out food and energy costs and is closely watched by the central bank — rose 2.5% on an annual basis in April. The Fed's goal is to get this number down to 2%. The new reading was in line with expectations and cooler than the 2.7% annualized change recorded in March. Core prices also rose 0.1% in April from the prior month, in line with expectations for a 0.1% increase and the monthly increase seen in March. Jeffrey Roach, chief economist for LPL Financial, said Friday's inflation print is "as good as it gets," as he expects prices to reaccelerate in the coming months. "Headline inflation decelerated in April to the lowest inflation print we will likely see for the rest of the year," Roach added. The central bank is debating internally about whether any inflation from tariffs will prove to be a one-time increase or longer-lasting. The White House has argued that the Fed should view any price increases as a one-time event, with Trump himself repeatedly calling for the Fed to lower rates, but many Fed officials have made it clear they are not sure which way things will go. President Trump told Fed Chair Jerome Powell Thursday during a meeting at the president's invitation that he is making a mistake by not lowering rates, echoing his calls all year for the Fed to cut rates. The Fed said in a statement that Powell "did not discuss his expectations for monetary policy, except to stress that the path of policy will depend entirely on incoming economic information and what that means for the outlook." Read more: How much control does the president have over the Fed and interest rates? Dallas Fed president Lorie Logan sent a strong veiled message Thursday night about holding rates steady in the face of President Trump's calls to lower rates. Logan said rates are in a "good place" now and that it could take "quite some time to know whether the balance of risks is shifting in one direction or another." She said the effects of rate changes take time to play out, and to get the balance right, the Fed needs to think about where the economy is headed, not just where it is now. "In the short run, a central bank could always juice employment by cutting interest rates," Logan said. "People might enjoy that for a little while. But over time, excessive rate cuts would trigger a spiral of inflation." Read more: How jobs, inflation, and the Fed are all related Some Fed policymakers are arguing for "looking through" the impact of the duties as temporary, but Minneapolis Fed president Neel Kashkari said this week he believes trade talks could take "months or years" to resolve and that "there could be tit-for-tat tariff increases as trading partners respond to one another." According to minutes released from the Fed's last policy meeting on May 6-7, almost all Fed members see the risk that inflation from tariffs could prove to be longer-lasting than expected. Some thought tariffs on intermediate goods — parts used to make products such as steel or aluminum — could contribute to a more persistent increase in inflation. A few thought supply chain disruptions caused by tariffs also could have longer-lasting effects on inflation, reminiscent of such effects during the pandemic. At the same time, several said a number of factors could offset the uptick and persistence in inflation, including reductions in tariff increases through trade negotiations, consumers' low appetite for price increases, the potential for a weakening economy, or if firms move to increase market share rather than raise prices.

Feargal Logan: Tyrone and Mayo must banish inconsistency tag
In a week where the Tyrone seniors accounted for Donegal and their U-20s added another All-Ireland title, there is certainly a feelgood factor within the county. So much so that many are taking about the Red Hand as genuine contenders to land Sam Maguire later in the summer. It's four years since Fergal Logan, along with Brian Dooher, guided Tyrone to the ultimate prize. Now observing affairs from a distance, Logan was pleased with the performance that saw off Donegal, but now hopes that that victory can act a springboard for Malachy O'Rourke's side to be just as efficient against similar opposition going forward. Next up is a home date with Mayo on Saturday evening. Reflecting on events at MacCumhail Park on RTÉ Radio 1's The Championship, he said: "It was an interesting night, a tight pitch in Ballybofey on a wet, damp night. "Tyrone had everything to play for and Donegal had come off an Ulster final. We need to balance that out and bring it on to our next performance, bring the consistency that we need. Possibly Tyrone and Mayo over the last number of years, and I'm not abdicating any responsibility here, have been too inconsistent for people's liking. We now need to get that consistency going." In casting an eye over what might transpire for the visit of the Connacht side, Logan, not surprisingly, feels there is greater pressure on Mayo to deliver following their Round 1 loss to Cavan. "There is less jeopardy for Tyrone because they won last weekend but the jeopardy is big for everyone who lost their first outing and on that basis it is a difficult one for Mayo," he added. "We're at home at O'Neill's Healy Park and that is a help. Mayo have been backs to the wall before, we've seen that, where they have produced performances when needed. Now, the ultimate question always remains about the real cutting edge up top. "There are a spread of scorers there. Aidan O'Shea is still hanging about and I don't care what anyone says, he is still a danger in and around the opposition forward line. It is fairly well balanced and it should be an intriguing evening. You would slightly edge it for Tyrone." What also gives the Stewartstown Harps clubman added hope is what Tyrone can produce up top, with Darren McCurry and Mark Bradley showing well of late. "We are blessed with some quality inside forwards and scorers and they are critical for every team. We have the U-20s coming up, young Noah Grimes and Eoin McElholm. Darren is still producing it and he's now a proud father and was super the last night."

Men guarding Logan tobacconist seriously burned in 'targeted attack'
Two men are in hospital with serious burns after the tobacconist they were guarding was doused in accelerant and set alight in Logan overnight. Police say the injured men, aged 47 and 54, were working security at the store after multiple threats against the owners. Detective Acting Inspector Daniel Cunningham said the men were found by firefighters at the Browns Plains store shortly after midnight. No arrests have been made. "It appears that at least two offenders have forced entry, once inside they've poured an accelerant around, while pouring that accelerant some of that has splashed on our victims and they have then ignited that accelerant," he said. "We're operating under the assumption there are more than two offenders. Police said they are investigating possible links to organised crime. "The Queensland Police Service has Task Force Masher, which investigates organised crime links to illicit tobacco in Queensland," Detective Acting Inspector Cunningham said. "Detectives from that specialist unit have been engaged and are assisting. "It's our understanding that threats have been made against the business operators and we'll investigate the links." Detective Acting Inspector Cunningham said police had spoken to the store's owners. "Unfortunately, we haven't been able to speak to the victims as they are receiving treatment but when we do have the opportunity to speak to them, we certainly will," he said. "Any level of violence in our community will be treated with the highest level of priority and we will throw additional resources [at this investigation] to locate those responsible. The men are at the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital in a serious but non-life-threatening condition.
