HARVARD SUBWAY Shooting Panic: Shelter-in-Place Order Shakes Campus
— A shooting on a Boston subway platform near Harvard University sent shockwaves through the campus Sunday. Harvard officials quickly told students and staff to shelter in place as police searched for the gunman.
Transit police say a man fired four or five shots at someone he targeted on the southbound platform at Harvard Square station, then ran away. Thankfully, no one was hurt, according to transit police superintendent Richard Sullivan.
The chaos forced subway riders onto shuttle buses while officers from several departments searched the area around the busy station. The location is right next to Harvard’s main campus in Cambridge.
Police lifted the shelter-in-place order later that afternoon after deciding there was no longer a threat to students or staff. The suspect remains at large as investigators continue their search.

— A gunman opened fire at Florida State University on April 17, killing two and injuring six. The suspect, Phoenix Ikner, is the stepson of a local sheriff’s deputy.

Students hid in classrooms for five minutes while shots rang out. Now, the campus is grieving and demanding answers about how this could happen.

Other major stories include ICE agents breaking a car window while arresting a Guatemalan asylum seeker, an emergency plane landing in Denver after an animal hit the engine, and four people hurt in a Dallas school shooting.

SECURITY FAILURES at Trump Rally Spark Outrage
— Two local law enforcement officers left their post to search for a suspicious man before the shooting at former President Donald Trump’s rally. This decision raises questions about whether a key position was left unattended as the shooter climbed onto a roof.
Pennsylvania State Police Col. Christopher Paris testified that the officers were stationed at a second-floor window with a clear view of the roof where Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire. Paris admitted uncertainty about whether staying at their post would have allowed them to see Crooks climbing onto the adjacent building’s roof.
The testimony before the House Homeland Security Committee sheds light on security preparations for Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, but also highlights potential lapses in law enforcement decisions. The Butler County District Attorney and Secret Service have not responded to requests for comments on who ordered the officers to leave their post.
The incident has sparked growing concerns over multiple security failures that enabled Crooks to fire eight shots into the crowd, resulting in one death and two injuries. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned after being criticized by lawmakers for what she called the agency’s “most significant operational failure” in decades.
CONGRESS BLOCKED From Trump Rally Security Report
— Congress was blocked from accessing the crucial Ops Report detailing the protection plan for former President Trump’s rally, a lawmaker revealed to Fox News Digital. The report should explain who was responsible for securing the rooftop from which Thomas Matthew Crooks fired.

Mauro confirmed that as of Thursday afternoon, the FBI held the detailed written plan based on information from a highly trusted source.
The FBI declined to comment on the matter. Despite several reported sightings of Crooks an hour before he opened fire in Butler, Pennsylvania, he managed to slip through security cracks. One of his bullets grazed Trump’s ear and could have been fatal if Trump hadn’t moved his head at that moment.

TRAGEDY Strikes Joel Osteen’s Texas Megachurch: SHOCKING Shooting Incident Leaves Child in Critical Condition
— A shocking incident unfolded at Joel Osteen’s megachurch in Houston, Texas, on Sunday when a woman armed with a long gun opened fire. The attack happened just before the church’s 2 p.m. Spanish service was about to commence. Despite the prompt intervention of two off-duty officers who neutralized the shooter, two people were injured, including a critically wounded 5-year-old boy.
The assailant entered the colossal Lakewood Church — a former NBA arena that can accommodate up to 16,000 people — accompanied by the young boy who tragically ended up in the line of fire. A man in his fifties also suffered injuries during this harrowing event. The connection between the woman and the boy remains uncertain as does who shot both victims.
Houston Police Chief Troy Finner pointedly attributed blame to the female shooter for recklessly endangering lives, particularly that of an innocent child.
