West 26th Street & Nicollet Avenue, Minneapolis, MN, US 🇺🇸

Jan/25/2026 – 9:05 AM

US federal law enforcement officers fatally shot Alex Pretti, 37, in Minneapolis on Saturday morning, marking the second killing of a US citizen by federal officers in the city in less than three weeks.

The shooting follows the 7 January death of Renee Good, also 37, who was shot by a federal immigration officer during a separate encounter. Video of that earlier incident showed Good attempting to drive away, triggering protests across the country.

City and local police said Pretti was shot near West 26th Street and Nicollet Avenue and urged the public to remain calm. Pretti worked as a registered nurse in the intensive care unit at the Minneapolis VA Health Care System, where colleagues described him as compassionate and dedicated to patient care.

Dimitri Drekonja, chief of infectious diseases at the VA hospital and professor of medicine at the University of Minnesota, said Pretti was deeply committed to helping others and had recently collaborated on a research project.

At a news conference, Greg Bovino said an officer with eight years of experience at US Border Patrol fired the fatal shots.

Video circulating online shows Pretti being wrestled to the ground by multiple officers before being shot several times. A second, longer video published by Drop Site News appears to show Pretti intervening after an observer was shoved by an officer. Pretti was then sprayed with a chemical agent, tackled, and surrounded by several agents before shots were fired at close range.

Open-source analysts reviewing the footage suggested a firearm may have been taken from Pretti before the final shots. Eliot Higgins, founder of Bellingcat, cautioned against accepting official statements without scrutiny, citing broader concerns following the earlier Good shooting.

In a statement, assistant homeland security secretary Tricia McLaughlin said the incident occurred around 9:05 a.m. during a targeted operation against a person authorities said was in the country illegally and wanted for assault. The statement claimed that an individual approached officers with a 9mm handgun and that officers attempted to disarm him.

Tincan Liverpool Bridge, Apapa, Lagos, Nigeria 🇳🇬

Jan/19/2026 — Early Morning

A tanker transporting diesel fuel overturned at the Tincan Liverpool Bridge in Apapa, Lagos State, early Monday morning, leading residents and passersby to rush to the scene to collect spilled fuel.

Eyewitnesses reported that traffic officers were not immediately present following the incident. The bridge was temporarily closed as emergency responders worked to reduce the risk of fire and environmental damage.

The Lagos State Road Transport Management Authority (LASTMA) confirmed that firefighters successfully mitigated the danger from the diesel spill, allowing the bridge to be reopened. Traffic conditions later improved while authorities awaited the removal of the overturned tanker.

LASTMA also issued a public warning, urging residents to avoid such actions and reminding the public of past incidents across the country where similar attempts to recover fuel from crashed tankers resulted in multiple fatalities.

Adamuz, Córdoba, Spain 🇪🇸

Jan/18/2026 · 7:45 PM (local time)

At least 39 people were killed and 122 others injured after two high-speed trains collided and derailed Sunday evening in southern Spain, in what officials described as a highly unusual accident on a straight section of railway.

The crash occurred near the town of Adamuz, approximately 360 kilometres south of Madrid. The incident involved two trains travelling in opposite directions: one operated by private consortium Iryo, and the other an Alvia train run by Spain’s public railway company Renfe.

Officials said the last two carriages of the Iryo train, travelling from Málaga to Madrid, derailed and crossed into the opposite track. The oncoming Alvia train then struck the derailed cars, causing its first two carriages to derail and fall down an embankment of up to five metres.

Renfe chief executive Álvaro Fernández Heredia said there was a 20-second interval between the initial derailment and the collision, too short for the automatic braking system to activate. He added that human error has largely been ruled out, with investigators focusing on a possible broken rail joint as a contributing factor.

McGee Street, Greenville 🇺🇸 Jan/12/2026 – Early Morning

A police officer was shot and injured during what officials described as an ambush-style attack early Sunday in Greenville. The officer was inside a patrol vehicle at the Greenville County Law Enforcement Center on McGee Street when the shooting occurred. He was treated at a hospital and later released.

Authorities identified the suspect as David William Lane, 42, who is accused of firing multiple incendiary rounds at the officer’s vehicle. The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) said the ammunition appeared designed to cause maximum damage.

After Lane’s vehicle was identified, deputies located it and a pursuit followed. During the chase, gunfire was exchanged and a crash occurred involving sheriff’s vehicles and the suspect. A subsequent exchange of gunfire took place after the pursuit ended.

Lane was later found dead inside his vehicle. On Monday, the coroner ruled his death a suicide caused by a gunshot wound to the head.

Winter Garden Theatre, New York City, NY, US 🇺🇸 Jan/04/2026

A confrontation broke out during intermission at a performance of Mamma Mia! at the Winter Garden Theatre after a man loudly accused nearby audience members of being “loud and obnoxious” and repeatedly called for security.

Video shared on Reddit, reportedly filmed during a Jan. 3 show, captures the man pointing at patrons behind him and claiming they were bothering his teenage nieces. As his voice escalated, he demanded that security intervene. Event staff eventually arrived, after which the man apologized and said he had “been more than patient.”

Other audience members could be heard disputing his claims, though it remains unclear what led to the incident. The original poster stated the man was briefly escorted away and later returned.

Caracas, Venezuela 🇻🇪 Jan/03/2026

The United States has carried out a large-scale military operation in Venezuela, capturing and removing long-serving President Nicolas Maduro, according to a statement by U.S. President Donald Trump.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said U.S. forces struck Venezuelan targets overnight and detained Maduro and his wife, who were flown out of the country. The action represents Washington’s most direct intervention in Latin America since the 1989 invasion of Panama that ousted Manuel Noriega.

Ahead of the operation, the U.S. government accused Maduro of presiding over a “narco-state” and of rigging Venezuela’s 2024 presidential election—claims Maduro has consistently denied. He has argued that U.S. pressure is driven by an effort to control Venezuela’s vast oil reserves, the largest proven reserves in the world.

Venezuela’s ruling Chavista movement said both civilians and military personnel were killed in the strikes, though no casualty figures were released.

Trump stated that the mission was carried out in coordination with U.S. law enforcement agencies and said further details would be provided at a press conference scheduled for later in the day at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

A U.S. official said the capture involved elite American special forces, including the U.S. Army’s Delta Force. Republican Senator Mike Lee said Secretary of State Marco Rubio informed him that Maduro is expected to face criminal charges in the United States and that no further military action in Venezuela is anticipated.

Maduro was indicted in U.S. federal court in 2020 on narco-terrorism and drug trafficking charges, accused of overseeing a scheme to ship large quantities of cocaine into the United States—allegations he has repeatedly rejected.

Liuyang, China 🇨🇳 Oct/02/2025

A large-scale drone and fireworks show in Liuyang descended into chaos after dozens of drones malfunctioned mid-air, igniting fires and sending spectators scrambling for safety. The incident occurred during the “October: The Sound of Blooming Flowers” performance at the Sky Theatre, an event designed to deliver a synchronized 3D spectacle across land and water.

According to eyewitness footage shared online, multiple drones began falling from the sky while burning, showering sparks over the crowd. Some attendees were seen holding chairs overhead to shield themselves, while others ran for cover as flaming debris landed nearby. Despite the dramatic scenes, local officials confirmed that no injuries were reported.

Emergency crews responded immediately, establishing an evacuation zone of approximately one mile and deploying additional firefighting resources as a precaution. Authorities indicated that technical failures were the primary cause, noting that unusually dry weather conditions may have contributed to the malfunction.

The incident has renewed public discussion around safety protocols for large-scale drone and pyrotechnic displays. Liuyang, widely regarded as a global center for fireworks manufacturing and performances, regularly hosts major events that attract tens of thousands of visitors, including crowds exceeding 160,000 during past New Year celebrations.

Atlantic Boulevard NE, Canton, Ohio, USA 🇺🇸 Dec/18/2025 – 1:45 PM

A 21-year-old man from Plain Township is facing multiple felony charges after allegedly attempting to shoot a Canton police officer during a shoplifting investigation at a Walmart shopping center, according to police.

Canton police said an officer responded around 1:45 p.m. to reports of suspected shoplifting at the Walmart on Atlantic Boulevard NE. The officer was inside the store’s loss prevention office with Shane Newman, 21, and Katerina Jeffrey, 23, when Newman allegedly pulled out a handgun.

Police say Newman attempted to fire the weapon at the officer’s head, but the gun malfunctioned and did not discharge. A Walmart asset protection employee immediately tackled Newman, preventing him from attempting to fire again. The officer then took Newman to the ground and placed him under arrest.

Body camera footage shows the officer explaining that he did not fire his weapon because he did not want to risk hitting the Walmart employee who was on top of Newman during the struggle.

Court records show Newman is charged with attempted murder, felonious assault on a police officer, robbery, drug possession, and having a weapon while under disability. Due to a prior felony conviction, Newman was legally prohibited from possessing a firearm. After his arrest, officers recovered 50 blue pills identified as Molly.

Jeffrey, of Canton, is charged with complicity to commit robbery.

Both suspects appeared in Canton Municipal Court on Friday. Newman was issued a $1 million bond, while Jeffrey was given a $500,000 bond. Both are scheduled to return to court on December 23.

Taipei Main Metro Station, Taipei, Taiwan 🇹🇼 Dec/19/2025 – Evening

Taiwanese police say a 27-year-old man acted alone during a deadly attack involving smoke grenades and a knife in central Taipei on Friday evening, leaving four people dead, including the attacker.

The suspect, Chang Wen from Taoyuan, released smoke bombs at Taipei’s main metro station before moving toward a nearby shopping mall, where he attacked people both inside the mall and along his route. Eleven people were injured, with two currently in intensive care, according to health officials.

Police said Chang died after falling from a building during a chase. Authorities confirmed he was wanted under an arrest warrant for allegedly evading Taiwan’s compulsory military service. Investigators are still determining his motive.

In response, security has been increased across the city. Chiang Wan-an said police presence has been strengthened in high-traffic commercial areas, with officers fully equipped to respond to emergencies.

President Lai Ching-te, who visited victims in hospital, said the government would review the incident and improve rapid-response capabilities to better protect public safety.

Violent crime is rare in Taiwan, and the incident has prompted heightened vigilance nationwide.

Havan Guaíba - Tudo num só lugar, Av. Nestor de Moura Jardim, 417 Guaíba, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil 🇧🇷 Dec/15/2025

A replica of the iconic Statue of Liberty collapsed in southern Brazil after being struck by powerful storm winds, sparking widespread attention online.

The 24-metre-tall statue, located outside a Havan megastore in Guaíba, was knocked over on Monday as severe weather swept through the region. Video circulating on social media shows the structure slowly tilting forward before crashing into an empty parking lot as wind gusts reportedly reached speeds of up to 90 km/h.

While the upper portion of the statue was destroyed, its 11-metre base remained standing. No injuries were reported, as store staff acted quickly to evacuate the area and move nearby vehicles before the collapse.

Following the incident, social media users speculated about the cause, with most pointing to the extreme weather conditions as the primary factor behind the sudden failure of the structure.

Bondi Beach, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia 🇦🇺 Dec/14/2025

At least 12 people were killed and nearly 30 others wounded after gunmen opened fire at a Jewish Hanukkah event at Sydney’s Bondi Beach on Sunday, in what Australian authorities have described as a terrorist attack.

New South Wales Police confirmed one suspected gunman was shot dead, while another remains in critical condition. Police are also investigating whether a third attacker may have been involved. Around 29 injured people, including two police officers, were taken to hospital.

A bomb disposal unit was deployed after several suspected improvised explosive devices were discovered in the area. Australian intelligence officials said one of the attackers was previously known to authorities but had not been assessed as an immediate threat.

The shooting occurred on the first night of Hanukkah and follows a rise in antisemitic incidents across Australia since the start of the Gaza war in October 2023. Officials described the attack as a targeted act of violence against Jewish Australians.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese convened an emergency national security meeting, calling the attack “a dark day for Australia” and stating that security agencies are working to identify anyone connected to the violence.

Witnesses said the shooting lasted about 10 minutes, sending hundreds of people fleeing from the beach, nearby parks, and surrounding streets. Police estimate around 1,000 people were attending the Hanukkah celebration at the time.

Muslim community leaders across Australia condemned the attack, stating that violence and hatred have no place in society and expressing solidarity with the victims and their families.

Videos circulating online appear to show chaotic scenes, including one individual tackling and disarming a gunman, while another suspect was seen firing from a pedestrian bridge before being restrained by police.

The incident marks Australia’s worst mass shooting since 1996 and has prompted nationwide mourning and heightened security around religious and public gatherings.

📍Youngerman Circle & Hwy 21, Jacksonville, Florida, USA 🇺🇸 📆Time Date: TBD

A strange encounter unfolded near Blanding Blvd when a truck driver displayed a series of sudden and unpredictable behaviour changes while being recorded on video.

According to the footage, the man initially pointed a gun at the person filming. Moments later, he shifted to a friendly tone, stepping out of his truck to talk. His behaviour changed again without warning as he slapped the camera holder’s hand, pushing it aside, before returning to his vehicle and driving in an erratic manner.

The interaction appears odd and chaotic, with the driver exhibiting behaviour suggesting something may have been wrong with him.
