It was a pre-Thanksgiving afternoon that few Americans could have imagined: U.S. troops defending themselves in a gunfight in the streets of the American capital.
A witness took photos of the ambush of the two National Guard troops that shows the suspect—an Afghan refugee with whom the Central Intelligence Agency had once worked—with a revolver in hand, U.S. National Guardsmen shooting back and fallen Guard members on the ground.

SAN FRANCISCO — A man convicted of beating a San Francisco grandmother who later died is facing life in prison, a judge said Tuesday.
San Francisco Superior Court Judge Eric Fleming said Keonte Gathron, 25, will likely be sentenced to prison without the possibility of parole in the death of Yik Oi Huang. The judge postponed sentencing until next week because the defendant had not received a presentence report, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
Gathron was convicted earlier this month of murder, carjacking, robbery, elder abuse, child endangerment and other charges stemming from a two-week crime rampage in January 2019. Authorities say he targeted victims of Asian descent or who spoke little English.
Huang, 88, was attacked on her morning walk. She was found injured at a playground in the Visitacion Valley neighborhood where she lived. Her skull, arms and neck were broken. Her home was burglarized minutes afterward.
Huang received long-term care at a hospital but died in January 2020. Her assault preceded the rise of anti-Asian hate crimes during the pandemic and rattled the city’s Asian American community.
Gathron represented himself and denied culpability but produced no evidence. He also accused police of manipulating surveillance video, DNA and other evidence.
Fleming announced he intends to sentence Gathron to two life sentences — one with the possibility of parole — and over 30 years for other offenses. Gathron plans to appeal.
Huang’s three daughters and several grandchildren spoke in court, in English and Cantonese. They described Huang as a hard-working wife, mother and garment factory employee in China who made sure her children were fed. She realized a dream of moving to the U.S. and owning a home in San Francisco.
A tearful Gathron said he “understood the pain and loss” but insisted he was innocent.
The park where Huang died was renamed Yik Oi Huang Peace and Friendship Park last year.
A group of 12-year-old girls were out visiting homes to sing Christmas carols Saturday night when Anne Arundel County police say a Maryland man pointed a gun at them.
A group of 12-year-old girls were visiting homes to sing Christmas carols Saturday night when Anne Arundel County police say a Maryland man pointed a gun at them.
Paul Susie is facing assault charges and is accused of pointing a loaded handgun at the three girls as they stood on his front stoop caroling in the 1700 block of Point No Point Drive, according to police.
The group was going from home to home in the Annapolis neighborhood when one girl knocked twice on Susie’s door and said they were caroling, according to charging documents.
While inside his house, 58-year-old Susie allegedly pointed a gun at the girls through a bay window next to the door at around 8:30 p.m., according to charging documents.
Susie admitted being involved in the incident, police said.
He was arrested and charged with first- and second-degree assault. According to charging documents, Susie also faces a charge related to handling a handgun while under the influence.
Charging documents said Susie’s stoop was well lit and that Susie told a responding officer he had consumed at least one alcoholic beverage.
Police recovered a loaded .40 caliber Glock handgun from Susie’s gun safe. He had a legal permit for the weapon.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department says it’s investigating a new sexual battery allegation against hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is serving a four-year prison sentence on prostitution-related convictions
LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said Monday it’s investigating a new sexual battery allegation against hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is serving a four-year prison sentence on prostitution-related convictions.
A male music producer and publicist said he was asked to come to a photo shoot in 2020 at a Los Angeles warehouse, where Combs exposed himself while masturbating and told the accuser to assist, according to NBC News, citing a police report. Combs then tossed a dirty shirt at the man, the producer said.
The accuser, whose name is redacted in the police report, said he did not tell anyone for several years because he felt embarrassed. He came forward to police in Largo, Florida, this September, shortly after Combs was convicted on other charges.
Combs’ lawyer did not immediately respond to an email from The Associated Press seeking comment on the latest allegations.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said it received an official copy of the report from the Florida department on Friday, and will be investigating the allegations.
The report also details an incident from March 2021 in which the accuser claims two men covered his head before Combs came into the room and called him a snitch, according to NBC.
Combs was convicted in July of flying his girlfriends and male sex workers around the country to engage in drug-fueled sexual encounters in multiple places over many years. However, he was acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering charges that could have put him behind bars for life.
He is set to be released in May 2028, though he can earn reductions in his time behind bars through his participation in substance abuse treatment and other prison programs.
A woman from Contra Costa County has been indicted on federal charges after she allegedly attacked members of a flight crew, a federal agent and a San Francisco International Airport employee on a trip from India to the Bay Area, prosecutors said.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Northern District of California, 40-year-old Reshma Kamath of Bethel Island is accused of two counts of interfering with a flight crew, one count of assaulting, resisting or impeding a federal officer, and one count of interfering with security screening personnel. Kamath made her initial court appearance on Thursday.
Prosecutors said the charges stemmed from an incident in which Kamath was a passenger on board Air India Flight 173 from Delhi, India to San Francisco on June 28 and 29 of this year. During the nonstop 15-hour flight, Kamath allegedly assaulted and intimidated two members of the crew by verbally abusing, threatening and striking them.
Once the flight arrived in San Francisco, she allegedly attacked an airport employee with security duties. Prosecutors said Kamath also struck a U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer and resisted arrest.
If convicted, Kamath faces a maximum of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for each count of interfering with a flight crew, eight years in prison and a $250,000 fine for assaulting, resisting or impeding a federal officer and 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for interfering with security screening personnel.
Prosecutors said Kamath’s next court appearance is scheduled for Jan. 7, 2026.

Alvin Prasad, a Sacramento resident, remains hospitalized after being attacked earlier this month in Sacramento’s Lavender Heights, the city’s LGBTQ district, in an incident police are investigating as a hate crime.Police told KCRA 3 on Sunday that they responded to the assault in the 2000 block of K Street after 1:30 a.m. on Nov. 1 and found the man seriously injured. Prasad’s daughter, Andrea, shared that they had gone to Badlands Night Club to celebrate Halloween and dance alongside their friend Jonathon Wisniske. As they left the club, a man confronted and attacked Prasad while they were walking to their car.Andrea Prasad said, “I was really close to my dad. We talked all the time and did everything together.”She recounted the events of Halloween night, saying, “We were just out at Badlands dancing, having fun. Around, like 2 a.m. We decided to leave to go home.”As they walked down 20th Street toward their car near the Sacramento LGBT Center, Andrea said, “A guy walked past me and my dad and just called him weird, insulted him for the way he was dressed. My dad is gay, and he likes to dress up a lot when going out dancing. So he was dressed more flamboyantly.”Andrea said her father turned to confront the man and asked Jonathon to check on him.”Less than three words through her sentence. I see the man cock back and punch Alvin right in the forehead,” Wisniske said. Andrea added, “My dad hit the ground pretty quickly. The back of his head hit the concrete.” Wisniske intervened, saying, “I immediately threw myself in the middle of them and asked the guy, ‘Who are you messing with?’ He cocks back again to punch me.” Wisniske said he punched back in self-defense, stating, “I wasn’t going to let him go. The first thing I said to him was, ‘Why are you running?’ That’s when he went into the street.”Eventually, Wisniske rushed back to help Alvin, saying, “I notice that there’s blood underneath Alvin’s head. And I tell her, you know, he’s bleeding from the back of his head.” Alvin was then taken to the hospital and has been there ever since. Andrea shared, “He’s in a coma. He has permanent brain damage, so he’s never going to be who he was. He can’t express himself, can’t go out dancing.”Wisniske expressed his distress to KCRA, saying, “I haven’t been able to look at my hands for two weeks now. I still see his blood on my hands.”Officers at the time arrested a suspect, 24-year-old Sean Payton, for assault, hate crime, and resisting arrest, police said. Andrea told KCRA that she is overwhelmed by a mix of emotions, saying, “I’m angry at him. I don’t understand why someone would choose to do something to someone they don’t even know.” When asked what she would tell her dad, Andrea said, “That I miss him. And that I want him to get better. Know a lot of people care about him. It’s not his fault. You know that he should still be happy and proud to be gay.”Wisniske added, “Last thing I said to him was the dimmest light shines brightest in the dark, that he’s that light and that he should keep shining.”Payton is due in court on Monday.Details on why the attack was believed to be a hate crime by police were not released.

Surveillance video shows Tennessee Titans cornerback L’Jarius Sneed driving a Lamborghini Urus at a suburban Dallas dealership and nearby gas station minutes before two men allege that shots were fired at them from that vehicle last December.
Sneed, 28, was indicted Tuesday by a Dallas County grand jury on a misdemeanor charge of failing to report felony aggravated assault to law enforcement. The indictment does not include details of the alleged incident on Dec. 6.
In the video, Sneed can be seen getting out of the Lamborghini, then using crutches to walk past the men and up stairs into the dealership at 3:22 p.m. on that date. Sneed walks out about a minute later in the video, which was shared Thursday with The Associated Press by attorney Levi McCathern, who represents the two men in a civil lawsuit against Sneed over the shooting.
The Titans cornerback, who was on injured reserve, also can be seen in separate surveillance video at a gas station at the same time as the two men. In the video, Sneed walks in from a gas pump, goes to a register and then walks back to the same car when Christian Nshimiyimana and Avi Ahmed were inside.
Minutes later, Nshimiyimana and Ahmed say in their lawsuit that they were shot at while sitting in a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon at the dealership. The surveillance video shows a vehicle driving past with four loud pops heard and an arm out the passenger side window at 3:42 p.m. That vehicle then speeds off.
A probable cause affidavit from the Carrollton Police Department dated Dec. 11 said Ahmed asked employees about two men he had seen earlier and that Sneed was identified as one of those men. The dealership also provided Sneed’s phone number.
Detectives also confirmed Sneed’s identity from surveillance video from several locations.
“It was apparent that Sneed was the only person they had seen getting out of and into the driver seat of the Lamborghini. He also was the last person seen getting into the driver seat at the RaceTrac (gas station) approximately eight minutes before the shooting,” according to the affidavit.
The police affidavit also noted: “Combined with the rapid acceleration away from the scene proved that Sneed knew what he was doing when assisted the shooter in fleeing the scene.”
Nshimiyimana and Ahmed allege that Sneed and another man, Tekonzae Williams, were inside the Lamborghini when the shots were fired. Williams was indicted Tuesday on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Court records did not list an attorney for Williams.
McCathern, of McCathern Law, said Thursday his clients were pleased that Sneed and his associate were indicted.
“Hopefully, this will be the beginning of getting justice for my clients,” McCathern said. “As the video clearly shows, they are very lucky to be alive after Mr. Sneed’s actions.”
Sneed’s attorney, Michael J. Todd, did not return a message left by the AP on Thursday. Sneed’s agent had no comment Wednesday.
No people were hit by bullets, though the lawsuit says bullets did hit the Mercedes-Benz as well as a building at the car lot. The lawsuit against Sneed and Williams seeks at least $1 million in damages.
The Titans said in a statement they were aware of the “legal matter” with Sneed and are in contact with NFL security per league protocol. The statement says the team had no further comment.
Sneed was placed on injured reserve last month with a quadriceps injury, and he was in the Titans’ locker room Thursday. Players on injured reserve do not talk to reporters.
This is the second straight season the Titans have put him on injured reserve. He played only five games in 2024 after Tennessee traded with Kansas City for him, giving Sneed a contract that made him the NFL’s fifth-highest-paid cornerback at the time.
Sneed was drafted from Louisiana Tech in the fourth round in 2020 by Kansas City. He won back-to-back Super Bowls with the Chiefs in 2022 and 2023.

An Orlando woman had a horrifying experience taking an ambulance ride to the emergency room. That’s because a medical worker inappropriately touched her, leading her to eventually file a police report to document the encounter.
In a video with 270,000 views, @incasethemayanswe explained how the EMT took advantage of her while she was inebriated in transit. She hesitated to make a report because she was heavily intoxicated at the time. Since then, however, she’s filed one with encouragement from commenters and other women.
@incasethemayanswe needed an ambulance after attending the Electric Daisy Carnival ( EDC) in Orlando, Florida. After emergency services arrived, things started to go sour. The TikToker noticed that the EMTs who arrived on-scene touched her in a way that felt intentionally inappropriate.
“ There was a hand that was under my bum, and if I was wearing thinner clothes, a finger would’ve went right in my genitals,” she said. “ I could allow some type of gray area because I was so inebriated and kind of moving everywhere [but] I felt that it was more [than an] essential [touch].”
Later, while alone with a male EMT and unconscious, she became somewhat aware of the fact that her body was “aroused.” Surprised, she started to gain a bit more clarity, waking up to realize that the EMT was touching her breasts. She fully woke up, moving her hand to stop him from touching her. That’s when he snapped and told her not to touch him.
“ I apologized to him because I thought maybe I was behaving poorly during our ride there, and that’s probably why he was like huffing and puff[ing],” she said. But, she quickly realized that she wasn’t frustrating him because she was unruly. She was frustrating him because she tried to stop him.
When @incasethemayanswe arrived at the hospital, she tried to tell nurses and other medical workers what happened. They didn’t address the situation, however. They treated and discharged her without asking if she’d like to make a report.
After that night, the creator posted to share her experience and warn others not to put themselves in vulnerable positions while going out. “ So to all the girls that are going out there, have fun, be safe,” she said.
On Nov. 9, @incasethemayanswe posted to her platform again to give an update and answer a few questions.
She clarified that she felt trepidation at the thought of making a report because she thought no one would believe her. “I was filled with so much shame and guilt that I didn’t even know what I wanted to do at that time,” she said. She felt more prepared to record the incident for the sake of other women, worried that a police report wouldn’t do anything.
@incasethemayanswe FILLING OUT POLICE REPORT TOMORROW!
In her update, @incasethemayanswe wondered whether it would be worth trying to make a report, an unfortunately common worry for many women who’ve experienced sexual violence.
But many commenters encouraged her. “Absolutely make the report. It doesn’t matter how much or how little clothes you were wearing, he would’ve done it even if you were covered from head to toe,” one wrote. “You were out of it and he didn’t think he would get caught-he’s 100% doing it to others. Proud of you for reporting it even if it’s the first report made.”
“I believe you. I’m sick to my stomach for you and filled with rage,” said another commenter.
Commenters urged @incasethemayanswe to speak with the police. After some helpful advice and encouragement, she says she spoke with her local department.
“We’ll see how it goes. I did an oral statement, [a] written statement, and I had to swear that everything was true and correct… I’ll keep you guys updated. Until then, we’re gonna maybe share some more positive things going on,” she said on Nov. 10.

A middle school health teacher in Douglas County was arrested Monday on suspicion of sexually assaulting a child, according to the sheriff’s office.
Teresa Whalin, a 28-year-old woman from Centennial, was arrested on investigation of sexual assault on a child by one in a position of trust, internet exploitation of a child and stalking, according to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office.
Whalin, an integrated wellness teacher at Ranch View Middle School teacher, has been employed by Douglas County School District since July 2021, according to a letter sent to parents by Ranch View principal Erin Kyllo.

WASHINGTON, D.C.: A senior State Department official said this week that President Donald Trump’s administration has revoked roughly 80,000 non-immigrant visas since taking office on January 20, citing offenses such as driving under the influence, assault, and theft.
The Washington Examiner first reported the scale of these revocations, which illustrate a wide-ranging immigration crackdown undertaken after Trump assumed the presidency, resulting in the deportation of unprecedented numbers of migrants, including individuals who held valid visas.
The administration has also implemented more demanding standards for visa issuance, introducing stricter social media vetting and expanding its screening measures. Of the visas revoked, approximately 16,000 were linked to DUI cases, around 12,000 to assault, and another 8,000 to theft. “These three offenses accounted for nearly half of the revocations this year,” the senior official said, speaking anonymously.
In August, a State Department spokesperson confirmed that more than 6,000 student visas had been canceled for overstaying or violating U.S. laws, with a small portion tied to allegations of “support for terrorism.” The department also said last month that at least six visas were withdrawn due to social media posts referencing the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated in May that he has revoked the visas of hundreds — possibly thousands — of individuals, including students, for involvement in activities he described as conflicting with U.S. foreign policy priorities.
Recent State Department guidance instructed U.S. diplomats overseas to maintain heightened scrutiny of applicants who may be considered hostile to the United States or have a record of political activism.
Officials in the Trump administration have asserted that holders of student visas and green cards could face deportation for expressing support for Palestinians or for criticizing Israel’s actions in the Gaza conflict, arguing that such positions threaten U.S. foreign policy and amount to pro-Hamas sentiment.
