July 28 (Reuters) - A Georgia teenager will spend the rest of his life in prison for killing four people and injuring nine others in a 2024 school shooting, a judge ruled on Tuesday. Colt Gray, 16, who on Friday pleaded guilty to 55 counts including murder and assault charges, appeared impassive as a judge in Barrow County Superior Court delivered his sentence. "Your crimes do reflect permanent incorrigibility," said Judge Nicholas Primm. "You do not seem to be tormented by what you did. You seem to relish following in the footsteps of the murderers you idolize." Primm had had two sentencing options: life with or without the possibility of parole. Gray, a 14-year-old ninth-grader at the time of the September 4, 2024, shooting, brought an assault-style rifle he had received as a Christmas present from his father into Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, hidden inside a roll of poster board. His father, Colin Gray, was convicted in March on 27 charges, including second-degree murder, for giving his son the rifle despite what prosecutors said were clear red flags, including a shrine to school shooters in the boy's room. ?It was a rare prosecution of a parent in connection with a child's mass shooting in the United States. Colin Gray is expected to be sentenced on Thursday. Colt Gray was charged as an adult for the shooting, in which he killed students Christian Angulo and Mason Schermerhorn, both 14, and teachers Cristina Irimie, 53, and Richard Aspinwall, 39. In hearings on Monday and Tuesday, prosecutors argued that Gray was still driven by a desire to achieve the notoriety of other school shooters he admired. They played recordings of jailhouse calls weeks after the shooting in which Gray asked his mother to tell him how the Internet's "true crime community" was reacting to his rampage. During one such call, Gray laughed and said he was "in the big leagues... and not in a bad way." "The shooting was not the culmination of the plan -- [it] was just one of the steps," said Barrow County District Attorney Brad Smith in his closing argument on Tuesday. "The plan was ultimate and lifelong fame." Smith dismissed the defense's efforts to show that Gray could be rehabilitated and safely rejoin society one day, comparing the teenager to a shark with inescapably violent instincts. Gray's defense attorney, Charlton Allen, sought to show that Gray's traumatic and unstable childhood pushed him to embrace an online community that idolized violent crime. Allen presented testimony from figures in Gray's life, including his grandmother, that Gray's parents abused drugs and neglected his basic needs. Gray's shooting was his way of "reflecting the behaviors of the community that seems to be willing to accept him when his own parents won't," Allen said in his closing argument.

The U.S. Department of Education said Tuesday it was investigating allegations that a high school teacher in the Denver school district required students of the same sex to kiss in front of a class and a district in Washington state displayed vials of testosterone in a Pride month exhibit. The probes will determine whether the Bethel School District, about an hour south of Seattle, and Denver Public Schools violated a federal law that gives parents the right to opt out of school evaluations on topics including sex behavior or attitudes, the department said. “Parents must be the decision-makers in matters impacting the most intimate parts of their children’s lives," Frank Miller, director of the Student Privacy Policy Office at the Education Department, said in a statement. Denver schools spokesman Scott Pribble said in a statement the district put the teacher on administrative leave and completed an investigation after students raised concerns in March 2025. The statement did not specify what prompted students' concerns. The Board of Education fired the teacher in May, he said. “The safety, emotional well-being, and dignity of our students are the absolute highest priorities of DPS,” the statement said. “Our actions to date have been wholly consistent with those priorities.” Bethel School District said in a statement that the vials in a display at Graham-Kapowsin High School in June were not authorized by school administrators and were immediately removed and turned over to the Pierce County Sheriff's Office. Testosterone is prescribed for gender-affirming care. The district added that it will cooperate fully with the Education Department's investigation. The two districts are in states headed by Democrats. President Donald Trump is a Republican. The Trump administration has opened dozens of investigations into schools that make accommodations for transgender and LGBTQ+ students, often taking aim at districts that allow students to use bathrooms or locker rooms that align with their gender identities. It accused Denver schools last year of violating Title IX protections against sex-based discrimination over such a bathroom policy. Trump officials have also pushed against schools accused of keeping information about students’ gender identities confidential from their parents, which the department says is a violation of federal privacy laws. The Education Department tied the new investigations to National Parents’ Day on Sunday. The agency said it will be announcing “significant actions” involving the enforcement of parental rights laws through the week. The display at the high school in the Bethel district contained some vials with a “small amount of unknown liquid,” the district said in its statement. Pierce County Sheriff's Deputy Carly Cappetto said school administrators identified the student who brought the vials to campus. The sheriff's office would test the liquid to determine whether it was testosterone — a controlled substance — if prosecutors made that request, she said. An email to the Pierce County Prosecuting Attorney's Office was not immediately returned. The district said in its statement it is reviewing its protocols for overseeing displays to “ensure all school materials strictly align with our educational standards and community expectations." “Our primary focus remains on maintaining a safe, respectful, and focused learning environment for all of our students,” it added.

President Donald Trump remembered former Senator Lindsey Graham as someone who became a “constant fixture of American politics at the highest level, and a force to be reckoned with all over the world.” “For more than 30 years, nothing of consequence happened in this capital without Lindsey Graham knowing about it. Nothing of significance happened anywhere in the world without Lindsey Graham having a view on it,” Trump said. “And no bill became law in the most exceptional Republican human history without Lindsey Graham having a say in it.” “He was a man who gave America the full measure of his good and mighty heart until that heart itself just gave out,” Trump said. Trump said Graham “went out at the peak of his career and the top of his game.”

Dr. Anthony Fauci's role during the COVID-19 pandemic has been a subject of intense scrutiny and debate. The conversation pivots on the media's portrayal of Fauci, suggesting it inflated his status to an unwarranted level of reverence. Initially, the speaker expresses support for Fauci and the importance of vaccination, especially for older individuals. However, over time, the speaker's perspective shifts, reflecting a growing frustration with the media's uncritical amplification of Fauci's authority. This has led to a perceived lack of accountability for some of the recommendations made during the crisis. The speaker highlights the importance of humility in public figures, especially during times of crisis, and questions the media's role in perpetuating an image of Fauci as infallible. This has left a significant impact on public trust, revealing the deep-seated uncertainties about the science behind many COVID-19 policies.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Part of a major interstate highway in Oregon was closed Monday due to a wildfire that forced a small town to evacuate, one of dozens of blazes burning across the state. The Fox Fire forced the closure of Interstate 84 for some 70 miles (113 kilometers) between Baker City and Ontario near the Idaho state line before reopening later in the day, the Oregon Department of Transportation said. I-84 is a key thoroughfare, running from Portland in the west through the Columbia River Gorge and into eastern Oregon before crossing the Snake River eastward through Boise. The transportation department said the wildfire remains active in the area and that intermittent closures were still possible. Challenging wildfires have burned across the Western U.S. this summer, following months of dry weather, a record lack of snow in some areas, hot spells and erratic winds. Federal authorities announced Saturday that a fourth firefighter died of his injuries after he and several colleagues were overcome last month by a fast-moving wildfire near the Colorado-Utah border. The Fox Fire was burning near the Oregon-Idaho state line about 12 miles (19 kilometers) northeast of the small town of Huntington, which was under a Level 3 “Go Now” evacuation order, meaning its roughly 500 residents have been told to leave immediately. Fueled by hot, dry and breezy conditions, the fire has scorched nearly 72 square miles (186 square kilometers) and was 0% contained as of Monday. Huntington Mayor Chuck Guerri said the fire flared up early Monday morning near the east side of town, estimating it got within 250 feet (76 meters) of the nearest home before firefighters got a handle on that portion of the blaze. The smoke was so thick you could taste it, he said. “We did send the alarm and went around knocking on doors on the east end of town to try to get people out of here, because it was coming in pretty quick,” he said. “But we had some good crews here, and they got it knocked down pretty quickly." The town's fire chief injured his head and back over the weekend while responding to the blaze after the fire truck he was driving rolled over, Guerri said, adding that he was airlifted to receive medical treatment. Officials are continuing to keep a close eye on the fire beyond town, which is surrounded by grassy rangeland, he said. “We want to make sure that they can keep that contained out there and not turn into something else,” Guerri said. With aircraft potentially grounded due to limited visibility from the smoke, firefighters were building bulldozer lines around Huntington near a railroad that also runs through the area to protect critical infrastructure, authorities said. Elsewhere in eastern Oregon, the state transportation department's website showed a rural stretch of U.S. Route 20 was also closed Monday due to wildfire for nearly 70 miles, between the small cities of Burns and Vale. In central Oregon, the Akawa Butte Fire was deemed a top priority for firefighting in recent days due to its proximity — about 5 miles (8 kilometers) — to Sisters, a small city of about 3,000 people. While authorities said Sunday that fire activity had decreased across much of the blaze, part of the town is still under an evacuation notice, with residents told to be prepared to leave if necessary.

Dr. Anthony Fauci’s private notes, known as the Fauci diaries, have recently come to light, revealing his internal thoughts during the COVID-19 pandemic. Senator Rand Paul’s investigation has uncovered these diaries, which detail Fauci’s decision-making process and public statements. As a hearing with Fauci is set to occur on Capitol Hill, these notes cast a new light on his actions and rhetoric. Fauci’s diary entries suggest he was aware of significant scientific doubts about the virus’s natural origin, contrary to his public statements dismissing the lab leak theory. Instead, he promoted the natural origin theory as settled science, silencing public discourse. The diaries also highlight Fauci’s preoccupation with his fame and media coverage, revealing a disconnect between his private doubts and public assurances. The revelations from these diaries suggest that the public health strategies implemented during the pandemic, heavily influenced by Fauci’s guidance, may have been misguided, and the repercussions could take decades to rectify.

America was founded on the principle of ordered liberty—the belief that freedom flourishes when power is limited and exercised under moral and constitutional restraint. Washington's voluntary departure from office demonstrated that leaders are stewards of authority, accountable to God and the people they serve. At a time when many nations rose and fell under ambitious rulers, Washington established a precedent that no individual was greater than the republic. His decision became a lasting example that public office is a duty to God and country, not a path to personal power. By surrendering power willingly, he helped shape a tradition that has remained one of the defining strengths of the American experiment.

A U.S. Secret Service agent and two other men are facing felony charges in connection with an alleged fraternity hazing incident in Florida that left two pledges with life-threatening injuries. Prosecutors say the victims were repeatedly beaten with canes and paddles during pledging activities, suffering severe injuries that required emergency medical treatment. Authorities allege the hazing was part of an organized initiation ritual. The Secret Service says the agent has been placed on administrative leave while the criminal case proceeds. If convicted, the defendants could face significant prison time under Florida's anti-hazing laws.
