Columbus police ramp up summer violence prevention efforts
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Summer in Columbus is ramping up. Columbus police data shows there is typically an increase in violence in those months. Last weekend, there were at least five shootings around the city and the Taco Festival at Goodale Park had to shut down early due to reports of fights. Police data shows there were 13 homicides in the month of May, which is the most of any month so far this year. The city's homicide rate is still the lowest it has been in more than a decade. 'Obviously, we're never happy with one homicide, let alone, you know, the numbers that we've had in the month of May,' Columbus Police Deputy Chief Smith Weir said. Officials release video showing when 2 Mifflin Township officers were shot Weir said they are constantly watching behaviors and trends to prevent violence. He said their summer safety initiatives officially start next week. 'Each zone is going to put together a plan and everybody in that starts June 1 and the zone will be implementing a community plan where they will have additional officers out on the streets working on quality of life issues, working on being visible, on being at events and places that tend to get crowds in the summer,' Weir said. He said they are also bringing back Operation Moonlight where more officers will be on patrol at city parks and events. 'It'll prioritize areas where there's going to be large crowds like festivals and everything like that,' Weir said. Weir said another focus is solving crimes that have already happened, specifically non-fatal shootings. He said they are expanding their non-fatal shoot team. Their goal is to get shooters off the street before they pull the trigger again. 'We've been running a pilot project on that for about a year now and we just got approval to move forward, making it a permanent fixture. So that process, that implementation process will be going, playing out over the course of the summer and then into the fall in terms of building out those teams and those detectives. So we're really looking forward to that,' Weir said. Weir said that the team started in just zone six and has been successful. He said the plan is to start expanding it through the entire city this summer and into next year. Weir said with festival season now underway they have plans to meet with organizers to talk about security and restrictions they can put in place to ensure a safe event.

Great-grandson gets prison for Andover woman's death
BUTLER COUNTY, Kan. (KSNW) — A 26-year-old man is in prison for allegedly killing his great-grandmother. Tristan Paul Weir made an Alford plea to voluntary manslaughter in the death of Maryln Harvey. An Alford Plea means that the defendant does not admit guilt in the case but acknowledges that the prosecution has enough evidence to find him guilty. The judge found Weir guilty of: Voluntary manslaughter Aggravated robbery Theft Police said that on Aug. 28, 2022, Harvey had picked up her great-grandson, Weir, from the Sedgwick County Jail, where he had been for a year. Other family members began looking for a hospital for Weir because they said he had a history of substance abuse and mental health issues. Later that day, Weir's mother and aunt went to get Weir from Harvey's home, near Central and Andover Road. They could not get anyone to answer the door. They broke in and found Harvey had been badly injured. They called 911. Harvey died at the hospital. Police said Harvey's car was missing, so they started searching for it. They found it, and they say Weir was nearby in a Wichita cemetery. Police say he was unresponsive, and they had to use two to three shots of Narcan to revive him. He was treated at a hospital before being booked into the Butler County Jail. Pickup driver charged in motorcyclist's death Weir remained in jail as the case proceeded through the court system. A judge sentenced him to 175 months (14 years and 7 months) in prison. But with the time he has already spent behind bars, the Kansas Department of Corrections lists his earliest possible release date as January 2035. According to court documents, Weir plans to appeal his case. Some court documents and the Kansas Department of Corrections list Weir's first name as Tristan; however, some court documents list it as Tristian. For more Kansas news, click here.

Two Doors Down star reveals awkward encounter with member of Royal Family after she mocked them
She wasn't sure how the Royal would react to her joke ROYAL RIDICULE Two Doors Down star reveals awkward encounter with member of Royal Family after she mocked them Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TWO Doors Down star Arabella Weir has revealed she risked upsetting Princess Anne by making fun of her lack of qualifications. The actress was presented with an MBE by the Princess Royal at Buckingham Palace last year. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 2 Two Doors Down star Arabella Weir poked fun at Princess Anne when presented with her MBE Credit: PA 2 She is best known for playing Beth Baird in the hit BBC comedy Credit: Handout After being told by a friend to make the princess laugh when receiving the honour, Weir poked fun at the royal's academic performance. When Princess Anne confessed she wasn't very good at school, Weir jokingly replied: "We all know that." Princess Anne famously never went to university and left school with a handful of O-levels and two A-levels. Weir, who plays Beth Baird in Two Doors Down, said she was relieved when the Royal laughed after her quip. Speaking on presenter Lewis Nicholls' YouTube channel, she said: "I'm not a royalist or anything but I was quite nervous before it. "My friend who went with me and my two children to the palace said to me 'Just make her laugh' and I did. "Princess Anne said to me 'I know who you are but why are you getting this?' "I said 'Oh I think it's because I make people laugh'. "She said 'When did you first realise you were funny?' and I said 'At school because I wasn't very academic.' "She said 'Neither was I,' and I went 'We all know that,' because famously she didn't do well. Two Doors Down star looks worlds away in unrecognisable BBC newsreader role "As it came out of my mouth I thought 'Is that something you're not supposed to say to royalty,' but she laughed. She was jolly nice." Weir, 67, received her MBE for service to acting and charity work. She made her name in The Fast Show alongside co-stars Paul Whitehouse, Charlie Higson and John Thomson. She has played Beth in Two Doors Down since 2016 and is set to reunite with the cast for a Christmas special this year. Princess Anne was taught at home in a small class before going to Benenden School in Kent at the age of 13, the first sovereign's daughter to attend boarding school. She left five years later, with six O-levels and two A-levels and instead of going to university she entered the public life of the Royal Family. Since then she has come to be regarded as the busiest and most hard-working of all the Royals and is well-known for her no-nonsense approach. In a documentary to mark her 70th birthday in 2020, she said: "So many of my contemporaries, when asked why they were going to university, would say, 'Well basically because that's what you do.' "And I remember thinking really that doesn't sound like a very good reason to go university, so I thought I would skip that."
