Three children among victims of mall shooting in Texas as attacker’s motives are investigated

A three-year-old boy and his parents, two elementary school children and a young engineer have been named as the victims of a mass shooting at a mall in Texas.

Eight were killed in the shooting, with several victims still in hospital.

Investigators are now reviewing social media to look into the killer’s beliefs.

During the attack, the rifle-wielding individual was wearing an insignia.

This symbol is associated with both hate groups and combat tactical gear.

He was wearing a clothing patch with the letters R-W-D-S, which stands for “Right Wing Death Squad”.

This is a phrase popular among right-wing extremists and white supremacy groups.

According to the U.S. defence department, the suspect entered the Army in June 2008 and was “terminated three months later without completing initial entry training” due to “physical or mental conditions”.

“Mental health didn’t fire that gun. Those people were killed with bullets,” Texas mall shooting witness Steven Spainhouer told NBC News.

UPS cargo plane crash in Kentucky kills four, injures 11, governor warns death toll may rise

In Short:
– A UPS cargo plane crashed in Louisville, resulting in at least four deaths and 11 injuries.
– Investigations are underway, and all departing flights from the airport have been cancelled.

A United Parcel Service cargo plane crashed shortly after takeoff in Louisville, Kentucky, at approximately 5:15 p.m. local time, leading to at least four fatalities and 11 injuries.Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear indicated that the death toll may rise. Those who died were not part of the three-person crew aboard the aircraft, which was heading to Honolulu.

Several people with serious injuries are receiving treatment at nearby hospitals.

The crash affected two businesses in proximity to the airport: Kentucky Petroleum Recycling and Grade A Auto Parts. Grade A Auto Parts confirmed most employees were accounted for, although uncertainty remains regarding customer safety.

Nearby, a Ford Motor assembly plant lost power but was not directly impacted by the crash.

Emergency services have worked to contain a fire resulting from the incident, which required a significant number of responders. UPS has not confirmed details regarding its crew’s condition. Photographs showed the MD-11 engulfed in flames at the Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport.

UPS operates its primary air cargo facility in Louisville, processing millions of packages daily. The plane’s fuel load of 38,000 gallons contributed to explosions that occurred upon impact with the businesses, prompting significant road closures.

Investigation Underway

The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board will conduct investigations into the crash.

In the aftermath, all departing flights from the airport have been cancelled, affecting major airlines including Delta Air Lines and American Airlines.

US stocks tumble as tech giants report uneven earnings, prompting fears of a looming market correction.

US stocks have taken a sharp dive as investors grow nervous about stretched valuations and uneven earnings reports from tech giants. Major Wall Street banks, including Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, are warning that the rally could be nearing a 10% correction – a wake-up call for traders betting on unstoppable market momentum.

Nvidia, the world’s most valuable public company, dropped nearly 4%, wiping out around $200 billion in market value. Meanwhile, Palantir slid 6%, dragging other AI and semiconductor names lower. Even gold — a traditional safe haven — dipped 1.6%, signaling widespread investor anxiety.

Bitcoin also broke below the $100,000 mark for the first time since June, underscoring how jittery markets have become. As earnings season unfolds and the US government shutdown looms, investors are questioning whether the bull run that lifted the S&P 35% since April has finally run out of steam.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney dies at 84, leaving a controversial legacy in American politics and national security.

Former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney has died at the age of 84, marking the end of one of the most influential — and controversial — political careers in modern American history. Cheney served under four Republican presidents, most notably George W. Bush, where he became known as one of the most powerful vice presidents in U.S. history.

His family confirmed he passed away from complications related to pneumonia and heart disease. Cheney’s decades in Washington were defined by his hardline approach to national security and his role in shaping America’s response to the September 11 attacks.

Even after leaving office, Cheney remained a strong defender of his policies, particularly the 2003 invasion of Iraq. His passing leaves behind a complicated legacy — one that reshaped U.S. foreign policy and continues to influence Republican politics today.
