A four-year-old has been caught with a loaded gun at school in Texas

The scare was resolved when an off duty police officer working at the school took possession of the gun.

The weapon belongs to the child’s parents, and the father has since been arrested for making the firearm accessible.

It follows a similar incident in Arizona where a seven year old took a handgun to school.

It has sparked further concerns about school shootings in America, as children remain the biggest victims of firearm violence.

In Short:
– One victim was accidentally shot by police during a synagogue attack in Manchester on Yom Kippur.
– The assailant, Jihad Al Shamie, used a vehicle and stabbing in the attack, later killed by police.
One of the victims in the recent terror attack at a UK synagogue was accidentally killed by police during efforts to subdue the attacker.
The incident occurred on Yom Kippur outside the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in Manchester, resulting in the deaths of Adrian Daulby, 53, and Melvin Cravitz, 66.
The assailant, identified as Jihad Al Shamie, a 35-year-old British citizen of Syrian descent, used his vehicle to strike pedestrians before launching a stabbing assault.Authorities revealed that police mistakenly shot one of the victims as they responded to the threat posed by Al Shamie, who was believed to be wearing a fake suicide vest.

Greater Manchester Police chief Stephen Watson noted that the victims were likely attempting to prevent the attacker from entering the synagogue. Reports indicate that a third victim hospitalized also sustained gunshot wounds during the police response.

In Short:
– Hollywood’s entertainment industry faces a severe job decline, impacting many professionals like Brian Mainolfi.
– Proposed federal measures to revive local production have been insufficient, leaving the industry’s future uncertain.
Hollywood’s entertainment industry faces a significant downturn, with work evaporating and many creative professionals searching for new avenues to survive.

The industry has seen a sharp decline in jobs. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Los Angeles County employment in motion picture production fell from 142,000 to 100,000 in two years due to reduced movie and TV productions.

Fewer projects are moving to Los Angeles because of high costs and a lack of tax incentives compared to other regions.

The impact on local businesses dependent on production workers has been severe, contributing to a broader economic challenge in the area.

Industry Decline

The absence of steady work has led some professionals to leave the industry entirely.

Many workers, including Thomas Curley, who won an Oscar for “Whiplash,” have struggled with the loss of purpose, and job scarcity remains pervasive.

Federal measures have been proposed, including a possible tax credit to stimulate local production, but efforts have thus far been insufficient.

With the continuing effects of recent strikes and a potential shift away from traditional content consumption, the outlook for Hollywood’s future remains uncertain.
