Jesse Jackson, a Complicated Legacy

Shooter Kills Ex-Wife & Son In Rhode Island Ice Rink Attack

Pawtucket Chief of Police Tina Goncalves says the person who opened fire during a youth hockey game at an ice rink in Rhode Island killed their ex-wife and one son. Goncalves says the victims were the shooter’s ex-wife Rhonda Dorgan and adult son Aidan Dorgan. The shooter injured three others during the shooting Monday afternoon in Pawtucket, among them Goncalves says was the shooter’s ex-wife’s parents and a family friend. Police have identified the shooter as 56-year-old Robert Dorgan, who also went by the name Roberta Esposito.

Guatemalan Driver Fleeing ICE Crashes, Kills Georgia Teacher

A Guatemalan driver fleeing a Georgia traffic stop by federal immigration officers crashed into another vehicle, killing a teacher who was headed to work, authorities and school officials said. Oscar Vasquez Lopez, the driver accused of causing the Monday crash just outside of Savannah, remained jailed Tuesday on charges including vehicular homicide, reckless driving and driving without a valid license. Lopez, 38, is in the U.S. illegally, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Immigration officers were looking for Lopez to enforce an immigration judge's 2024 deportation order, ICE spokesperson Lindsay Williams said Tuesday, noting that Lopez has no other criminal history. Lopez pulled over when ICE officers used sirens and blue lights to initiate a traffic stop, but then drove away when they approached his vehicle, Williams said. Lopez made a U-turn and ran a stop light before he crashed, ICE said in a news release. Asked if the ICE officers chased Lopez, Williams said: “Chased? I wouldn't say that. They followed him until he crashed.” Williams said he didn't know how far Lopez fled before he crashed. “According to preliminary findings, we believe the pursuit was relatively short in duration and distance,” said Chatham County police spokesperson Betsy Nolen, who noted the investigation is ongoing. Security camera video obtained by WTOC-TV showed a red pickup truck moving at high speed past Herman W. Hesse K-8 School on Monday morning. The footage showed a vehicle with flashing lights follow about five seconds later at a similar speed, and another vehicle with lights flashing pass several seconds after that. News video from the crash scene showed one of the vehicles involved in the wreck was a red pickup. Teacher killed was known for ‘kindness, patience, and ethusiasm’ Savannah-Chatham County school officials identified the woman killed as Linda Davis, a special education teacher at the school. Davis was beloved by the school community, Principal Alonna McMullen said. “She dedicated her career to ensuring that every child felt supported, valued, and capable of success," McMullen said in a news release. "Her kindness, patience, and enthusiasm created a nurturing environment for her students and inspired those around her.” The crash happened less than a half-mile (0.8 kilometers) from the school. Though students were off Monday for Presidents Day, teachers reported to work. Davis was driving to school when she was killed, school system spokesperson Sheila Blanco said. Chatham County jail records didn't list an attorney for Lopez as of Tuesday or show whether he had been granted bond. His case also didn't appear yet in online court records. Federal immigration officers have faced increased scrutiny for their aggressive tactics during the Trump administration's nationwide crackdown on illegal immigration, especially since they shot and killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. In a statement, Tricia McLaughlin, a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson, blamed “politicians and the media constantly demonizing ICE officers and encouraging those here illegally to resist arrest.” Chatham County police said in a statement that they were unaware of the ICE operation and traffic stop before the deadly crash. Local officials questioned whether Davis' death might have been prevented. “I’ve always been and remain very concerned about the activities of ICE in cities, particularly where they’re not coordinating or communicating,” Savannah Mayor Van Johnson, a former police officer, told reporters Tuesday. “What this individual was wanted for, did it necessitate the end result?" Johnson said. Chester Ellis, chairman of the Chatham County Board of Commissioners, noted that county police are constrained by a policy that allows vehicle pursuits only when officers believe a suspect has committed or is attempting to commit a violent felony. “The no-chase policy is to help protect our citizens more than it is anything else,” Ellis told WTOC-TV. "So there may have been a different way to corner the individual so that he could not run, or that he could not cause the accident that took the life of Dr. Davis.”

4 Dead In Vehicle Pileup In 'Brown Out' Conditions In Colorado

Four people died in a pileup involving over 30 vehicles, including six semitrailers, on an interstate in Colorado Tuesday after blowing dirt made it hard for drivers to see, authorities said. Dirt kicked up by heavy winds caused “brown out” conditions at the time of the pileup on Interstate 25 south of Pueblo around 10 a.m. the Colorado State Patrol said. It said drivers had “low to no visibility.” The patrol said 29 people were taken to the hospital but the extent of their injuries wasn't known. The cause of the crash is still being investigated. The lack of visibility will be considered as one of the factors in the crash, but others may also be involved, said Trooper Sherri Mendez, a patrol spokesperson. The eastern half of Colorado was being hit by strong winds Tuesday, which combined with warm weather and very dry conditions, have also raised the risk of wildfires and caused flight delays at Denver's airport. Meanwhile, it was snowing in the western part of the state, bringing much needed snow to the mountains.

5 Injured From Church Explosion In Upstate New York

A fiery explosion ripped through a church in upstate New York on Tuesday, injuring five people including a firefighter who was badly burned while responded to reports of a gas odor in the building, officials said. New York State Police were investigating the cause of the blast, which occurred around 10:30 a.m. at the Abundant Life Fellowship Church in a rural area about 50 miles (80 kilometers) northeast of Syracuse. Five people were taken to a local hospital for treatment. Two were listed in critical condition, including a firefighter who responded to the scene. The remaining three people were being treated for injuries that were not believed to be life-threatening, police said. Police said there was no initial indication of criminal activity related to the explosion, which sent thick plumes of black smoke into the air and severely damaged the church. The church was reportedly heated by propane cylinders, according to state troopers.

No DNA Match In FBI Database On Gloves Near Nancy Guthrie's Home

A glove containing DNA found a couple of miles from the Arizona home of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie ’s missing mother did not match any DNA in the FBI's database. The development comes as law enforcement gathers more potential evidence in the search for Nancy Guthrie, 84, now in its third week. Nancy Guthrie was last seen at her Tucson home on Jan. 31 and was reported missing the following day. Authorities say her blood was found on the front porch. Purported ransom notes were sent to news outlets, but two deadlines for paying have passed. Authorities have expressed concern about Nancy Guthrie’s health because she needs vital daily medicine. She is said to have a pacemaker and have dealt with high blood pressure and heart issues, according to sheriff’s dispatcher audio on broadcastify.com.

Tricia McLaughlin Leaving DHS

U.S. Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin will leave the department, two Trump administration officials told Reuters, a move that comes as public support for President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown has dwindled. McLaughlin became a prominent booster of Trump's aggressive approach to immigration and helmed the press operation at DHS, which has come under scrutiny for issuing inaccurate or incomplete statements following violent encounters involving federal immigration officers. Neither official said what McLaughlin intended to do next. DHS and McLaughlin did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Public support for Trump's immigration enforcement push dropped to the lowest level of his presidency in January after months of clashes in U.S. cities and after federal immigration officers shot and killed two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem initially called the victims in those shootings "domestic terrorists" rather than back an investigation, leading to criticism from Democrats and some fellow Republicans. Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives last month launched an effort to impeach Noem, saying she had violated public trust, stymied congressional oversight and engaged in self-dealing.
