Shootout in Newark as U.S. marshals try to arrest fugitive in attempted murder case
A fugitive opened fire on U.S. marshals who tried to arrest him at a home in New Jersey on Monday, officials said. The suspect, a man wanted in an attempted murder case, was shot by Newark police during an hours-long standoff after he barricaded himself inside a home and began shooting at officers. Police said officers responded to Irvine Turner Boulevard at around 11 a.m. to assist U.S. marshals in arresting a man wanted for an attempted murder in Hillside. Neighbors said they saw the suspect barricade himself inside the home with a woman and child before the shootout started. "It was a wild shootout. They were shooting crazy," one woman said. "All of this started pulling up immediately, quick, fast," Tommy Easterling said. "The next thing you hear is pow, pow, pow, pow, while they're firing at the house, so, all the officers running up and down the street." U.S. marshals said the suspect fired first at police and officers returned fire. The suspect was shot by police and taken into custody sometime after 3 p.m. "He's no longer a threat to the public at this time," Mayor Ras Baraka said. "By God's grace, nobody was injured, nobody was hurt, nobody was hit." The suspect was hospitalized in unknown condition, U.S. marshals said. The woman and her newborn were taken to the hospital, but were not injured, the woman's stepfather told CBS News New York. "Scary, because we don't know if anything happened to her or the baby," Kenneth Brown said. "They said they didn't get hurt." "He passed the baby out and they put him in the back of a cop car and they got the baby and the mother out the house," another witness said. New Jersey State Police will take over the investigation, Newark police said.

Tim Weah's agent puts Juventus on blast for holding up Marseille transfer
U.S. men's national team winger Tim Weah remains stuck in a transfer window standoff between Juventus and French club Olympique de Marseille – and the frustration seems to be mounting from the player's side. Weah previously turned down a transfer to English Premier League side Nottingham Forest after Juventus came to terms. Instead, the 25-year-old has made it clear his preference is to move back to Ligue 1, where he previously played for Paris Saint-Germain and Lille. Advertisement So far, however, the teams have not come to an agreement. Multiple reports indicate Marseille will not increase its offer beyond €15 million ($17.6 million), while Juventus is insisting on its €20 million ($23.5 million) valuation. Weah's agent, Badou Sambague, expressed his frustration in a statement to The Athletic. 'Juve is a fantastic club,' Sambague wrote. 'The sporting department is managed by three persons. Two have class, and another is still searching himself [sic]. We cannot blame him. Two are looking for solutions, and one is creating problems. And we can't let that go. Tim Weah, is always professional, was left out during the [Club] World Cup. This person botched his [Club] World Cup, tried to force him to go where he wanted. Today, as revenge, he's demanding a fortune and waiting for a Premier League offer that won't come and will never be approved by us. 'These are old-fashioned methods that won't sit well with me. I'm not used to speaking out, but not doing so today would be accepting the unacceptable and total disrespect. Class can't be bought for a manager, that's for sure, but it has always been part of the history of Juventus. One person is undermining that. Let's see…' Weah played just 45 minutes for Juventus during the FIFA Club World Cup this summer. Increasing that frustration is that he missed the Concacaf Gold Cup with the U.S. team in order to stay with Juve for the club competition. At issue from the player's side is the belief that Juventus general manager Damien Comolli initially accepted a €14 million offer ($16.5 million), but now is insisting on the €20 million figure. Weah is keen on the opportunity to play for OM manager Roberto De Zerbi, and Marseille has qualified for the Champions League. Weah has three years remaining on his contract with Juventus. The Athletic has approached Juventus for comment.

Chicago man charged after hours-long standoff shuts down Dirksen Federal Building
The Brief Mario Santoyo, 38, was charged after a knife threat led to a daylong lockdown at Chicago's federal courthouse. He allegedly refused to leave the building and held a knife to his throat, prompting an evacuation. Santoyo remains in custody ahead of a July 31 detention hearing. CHICAGO - A 38-year-old man is facing a felony charge after allegedly threatening to harm himself with a knife during a lengthy standoff that shut down Chicago's federal courthouse Tuesday, federal authorities said. What we know Mario Santoyo, of Chicago, is charged with possessing a dangerous weapon in a federal facility with intent to use it in the commission of a crime, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Illinois. If convicted, he faces up to five years in federal prison. Santoyo made his initial court appearance Friday afternoon and was ordered to remain in federal custody, prosecutors said. The backstory According to prosecutors, Santoyo entered the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse shortly before 10:30 a.m. Tuesday and asked to speak with the FBI, claiming that "gangsters" or "gangbangers" were trying to kill him. When a court security officer informed him that the FBI did not have an office in the building and that he could not remain there without other business, Santoyo allegedly pulled out a knife, held it to his throat and threatened to harm himself. Despite repeated commands from law enforcement to drop the weapon, Santoyo refused. He remained in the building's lobby throughout the day with the knife pressed to his throat and a dark bag in his possession, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. Authorities evacuated the courthouse during the standoff, which disrupted criminal and civil trials, hearings and other proceedings throughout the day. No injuries were reported. Santoyo was taken into custody without incident at approximately 7:55 p.m. and was transported to a hospital for treatment. What they're saying "As I have said before, under my leadership, there will be zero tolerance for violence against federal officials or violence against the important work of the federal government as it is conducted in the Northern District of Illinois," said U.S. Attorney Boutros. "The defendant's actions impeded the due administration of justice in the largest federal courthouse in the country both by square footage as well as the number of federal judges, as it houses the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois, and the offices of various governmental agencies…" "The defendant created a dangerous situation for himself, law enforcement, and the thousands of federal employees and members of the public inside the Dirksen Building," said Marshal Reynolds. "The standoff in this case was peacefully resolved thanks to the courage and professionalism of the law enforcement officers from the U.S. Marshals Service and FBI. I am deeply appreciative of this U.S. Attorney's strong partnership with the U.S. Marshals Service and for his strong leadership in choosing to bring a felony charge to hold the defendant accountable for his intolerable actions." What's next A detention hearing for Santoyo is set for 11:30 a.m., July 31. RELATED: Man barricaded in Dirksen Federal Building taken by ambulance after 9-hour standoff Solve the daily Crossword

Inter Milan In Transfer Standoff With Albania Star – Real Betis Move Rejected
Inter Milan find themselves in a transfer standoff with midfielder Kristjan Asllani after the Albanian rejected a move to Real Betis. This according to today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. They report that Inter hope to collect a fee of €15 million for Asllani. Albanian international Kristjan Asllani has been at Inter Milan for three years now. The Nerazzurri signed him from Empoli in the summer of 2022. During that time, Asllani has never really managed to cement a place for himself in the starting eleven. It is not as though the Albanian has not had chances. On the contrary, he has had playing time over all of his three seasons in an Inter shirt. However, the Nerazzurri don't feel that Asllani has developed to the level they'd expected when they paid a €14 million for him three years ago. Therefore, Asllani is not a player who Inter consider to be a part of their plans going forward. Inter In Transfer Standoff With Kristjan Asllani – Real Betis Move Rejected CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA – JUNE 30: Jhon Arias #21 of Fluminense FC runs with the ball while under pressure from Kristjan Asllani #21 of FC Internazionale Milano during the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 round of 16 match between FC Internazionale Milano and Fluminense FC at Bank of America Stadium on June 30, 2025 in Charlotte, North Carolina. (Photo by) But Asllani's own stance has been fairly clear. The former Empoli midfielder only wants to leave Inter if it is for a team within Serie A. On the other hand, the Gazzetta note, the strongest interest in Asllani has come from La Liga side Real Betis. Therefore, Inter are frustrated with Asllani's refusal to green light a move to Betis. The Nerazzurri expect to be able to get a €15 million fee from the Andalusian club. On the other hand, no clubs in Serie A have shown a willingness to pay what Inter are asking for Asllani.
