Karmelo Anthony Sentenced To 35 Years In Prison For Death Of Austin Metcalf

MCKINNEY, Texas (AP) — A Texas teenager who fatally stabbed a 17-year-old athlete from a rival track team has been found guilty of murder. Jurors on Tuesday convicted 19-year-old Karmelo Anthony and sentenced him to 35 years in prison in the death of Austin Metcalf. The killing last year stunned the booming Dallas suburb of Frisco. Both teens attended different schools there. Prosecutors accused Anthony of egging on a confrontation after being asked to leave the tent of Metcalf's team. Anthony’s attorney claimed the stabbing was self-defense. The case drew wide attention, in part because of social media posts about race. Anthony is Black. Metcalf was white. But prosecutors and defense attorneys said the case had nothing to do with race.

Maine Democrats Pick Platner Despite Sexual Allegations

WASHINGTON, June 9 (Reuters) - Maine Democrats shook off any misgivings they might have had about Graham Platner and overwhelmingly picked him to face Republican Senator Susan Collins in November. Meanwhile, in the South Carolina primary for governor, President Donald Trump successfully toppled U.S. Representative Nancy Mace, who tangled with party leaders and the president. Here are key takeaways from Tuesday's primaries: DEMOCRATS SHED WORRIES ABOUT PLATNER Democrats have high hopes of capturing a U.S. Senate seat from Republicans in Maine, where five-term Senator Susan Collins is running for reelection at a time when voters are soured by high consumer prices and the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran. Platner, a former combat Marine, built momentum on a pitch as a man of the people that resonated with moderates and progressives, drew substantial campaign funding and led Democratic Governor Janet Mills to suspend her primary bid. Now, the married Platner is fighting off reports he sent sexually explicit texts to multiple women last year as well as a Nazi-associated tattoo he had covered up last year. Platner, 41, has apologized for his past behavior and said he struggled with post-traumatic stress disorder and depression following combat duty in Iraq and Afghanistan. "I've made mistakes in my life, mistakes that I regret, that I live with, that I continue to learn from. I'm still far from perfect, but every day I wake up and I try to be a little bit better and a little bit kinder than I was the day before," Platner told supporters in Blue Hill, Maine. On election night Maine Democrats appeared to be throwing off any misgivings they might have had about Platner, who was winning the race 72%-20% over Mills with 86% of the vote counted. Mills suspended her campaign in May but remained on the ballot. "In November, Maine voters will elect Graham Platner, and we will win a Senate majority," Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said in a joint statement with Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, who chairs the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. DEMOCRATS' NEVADA GAMBLE Marty O'Donnell sailed through the Republican primary election in Nevada's third congressional district with the help of Trump's endorsement. He will face incumbent Democratic Representative Susie Lee, who vanquished three primary opponents. The race in this Las Vegas-area district is among a handful across the country expected to be decisive in determining the balance of power in Congress, with Republicans currently holding a narrow House majority. Of note: Trump narrowly won this district in the 2024 presidential election. O'Donnell, a video game composer who loaned his campaign $3 million, handily defeated three Republican primary opponents. Lee won re-election in 2024 by nearly 3 percentage points -- an accomplishment in the face of Trump's victory that year. This race is likely to draw national attention and streams of campaign contributions to both campaigns. TRUMP’S ENDORSEMENTS MATTERED IN SOUTH CAROLINA Already in this year's primary elections, Trump-backed candidates have defeated Republican Senators Bill Cassidy of Louisiana and John Cornyn of Texas as well as Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky. This time, Trump appears to have ended the political career of Mace, who failed to make the top two vote-getters and will not advance to a June 23 runoff. Trump’s late endorsement of South Carolina Lieutenant Governor Pamela Evette pushed her atop a crowded primary field. Evette, who ran on an “America First” platform, will face second-place finisher Attorney General Alan Wilson. The Republican primary winner is expected to also win the November general election as it has been nearly three decades since a Democrat has been elected governor in this Republican-leaning state. Trump also endorsed four-term Senator Lindsey Graham, who faced several primary challengers including from hard-right Greenville-area businessman Mark Lynch, whom Trump called a "lunatic." Graham will avoid a runoff, as he captured nearly 58% of the vote with 90% of votes counted. GOLDEN MOMENT FOR REPUBLICANS? Representative Jared Golden, one of the most moderate Democrats in the U.S. Congress, is retiring and Republicans can taste victory in the race for his replacement. Former Republican Governor Paul LePage ran unopposed in his primary for the seat in a district Trump won in 2024, and he has Trump's "complete and total endorsement." With 42% of the vote counted, three Democrats - Jordan Wood, Joseph Baldacci and Matthew Dunlap - remained locked in a three-way battle to take on LePage. This is another race that could help define whether Republicans hold onto their narrow U.S. House majority.

Manhunt Underway For 2 Suspects After Mass Shooting In Ohio

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Police in Ohio were searching for a 20-year-old man in connection with a shooting between two rival groups that wounded 12 people at a crowded neighborhood festival, while authorities asked for help identifying a person they called a “second shooter.” Ka Nye Taylor is wanted on 11 counts of felonious assault, the Toledo Police Department said Wednesday, four days after the shooting in a park filled with event tents, a music stage and food trucks. Police on Wednesday released a photo of a second male suspect dressed in all black at the festival. Phone numbers for Taylor or his family members were not immediately available or found in online directories. The shooting erupted after someone was tackled and assaulted at the festival, leading one person to open fire and a second to respond with more gunshots, Toledo Police Chief Michael Troendle said at a news conference Tuesday. Three of the 12 people shot were involved in the altercation, authorities said, while the rest were bystanders. The wounded ranged in age from teenagers to one person in their 60s. All but three had been released from the hospital by Tuesday. The police chief and other city officials praised officers and good Samaritans who quickly helped the victims. “We saw strangers who were shocked and frightened by the violence they just saw, they jumped into action,” said Chief of Fire and Rescue Allison Armstrong. “They helped others by placing tourniquets, dressing wounds, applying pressure and comforting those victims until additional help could arrive.” Half the victims arrived at hospitals with tourniquets applied by either police or bystanders, Armstrong said. Hundreds of people were at the Old West End Festival, an annual two-day celebration in Toledo’s historic district that covers several city blocks and features live music, vendors and home tours. Toledo is located in northwest Ohio near the western edge of Lake Erie, about 55 miles (90 kilometers) southwest of Detroit. The remainder of the festival was canceled Sunday. Organizers said it would not have been "compassionate, responsible or possible” to continue through he weekend.

Police: Gunman Kills Family In Detroit

LIVONIA, Mich. (AP) — A 25-year-old man killed four people at a house in suburban Detroit, including his parents and brother, and quickly surrendered when police arrived, authorities said Wednesday. “We don't know why this happened,” though the suspect had a “contentious relationship” with his parents, said Livonia police Chief Tom Goralski. “Whether that had anything to do with what occurred, we don't know yet,” he said. Officers who were dispatched to a house Tuesday afternoon found the parents, Sterling Pierce, 58, and Holly Kimball, 53, in the backyard with gunshot wounds, Goralski said. Tanner Pierce, 22, and Tanner's 21-year-old girlfriend were discovered shot in a bedroom, he said. When police arrived, the suspect emerged from the house “with his hands above his head and his fingers interlocked. ... The subject responded and indicated that he had shot his family,” Goralski said. The chief said police had no record of responding to any trouble calls at the home. “This is a tragic event for our city,” Goralski said.

Manhunt Underway For 2 Suspects After Mass Shooting In Ohio

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Police in Ohio were searching for a 20-year-old man in connection with a shooting between two rival groups that wounded 12 people at a crowded neighborhood festival, while authorities asked for help identifying a person they called a “second shooter.” Ka Nye Taylor is wanted on 11 counts of felonious assault, the Toledo Police Department said Wednesday, four days after the shooting in a park filled with event tents, a music stage and food trucks.
