Cops: Alleged Robber Used ‘Gun’ Many Will Recognize Officials say David Joseph Dalesandro held up convenience store with Nintendo ‘Duck Hunt’ pistol

An armed robbery this week at a South Carolina convenience store apparently wasn’t as “armed” as the clerk thought. CNN reports on the Tuesday incident at a Kwik Stop in the small town of Sharon, where a man donning a hoodie, wig, and mask entered the store around 5:45pm, per a release from the York County Sheriff’s Office. According to authorities, the suspect pointed to the gun in his waistband and ordered the clerk to hand over whatever cash was in the register—about $300.

Deputies tracked down Dalesandro in the parking lot of a nearby Dollar General and placed him under arrest. They say the pistol he’d used was tucked into his pants, except it wasn’t an actual pistol: It was a fake gun used to play the Nintendo video game Duck Hunt, spray-painted black, which could appear to mean that Dalesandro couldn’t be busted for an actual armed robbery.

Not quite. Law & Crime notes that in South Carolina, even “the mere representation of possessing a deadly weapon that a witness reasonably believed to be a real gun is enough” to hit someone with those charges. Per the sheriff’s office, Dalesandro—who was charged with armed robbery with a deadly weapon, petty larceny of less than $2,000, and “wearing masks and the like”—is being held without bond in the York County Detention Center.

Science, Public Health Policy and the Law: ‘A win for the Amish is likely to be a win for all’.

By Michael Nevradakis, Ph.D.

The Post reported last month that Miller v. McDonald and other cases challenging efforts to ban religious exemptions in California and West Virginia could result in a “national legal win” for opponents of vaccine mandates.

“If the court does rule in favor of religious exemptions to vaccines, unless there is some caveat to the ruling, a Supreme Court ruling would be binding nationwide and thereby eliminate state action to remove religious exemptions,” said Leslie Manookian, president and founder of the Health Freedom Defense Fund.

One caveat, according to Kane, would be whether the Supreme Court issues a ruling that is applicable only to specific groups, like the Amish, instead of having broader applicability.

“You can’t rule in favor of one religious group to have the right to an exemption but then declare another religious group does not share that same right,” Kane said. “There is a chance the court could rule narrowly on the specifics of this case, but that will be hard in my view. A win for the Amish is likely to be a win for all.”

Another caveat, according to Manookian, is the Supreme Court’s willingness to take on a case involving vaccination.

“I would hope that case ends up at the Supreme Court, but find it difficult to predict what the court will do as it seems committed to avoiding the vaccine issue,” Manookian said.

The cases come at a time when religious exemptions have become a contentious issue in several states and have resulted in conflicting court rulings — a situation Glaser said is confusing for many parents.

“The Miller case highlights a chaotic legal landscape where lawyers and families face direct legislative confusion,” Glaser said. “Lower courts will continue splitting over the Equal Protection Clause until the Supreme Court provides the explicit clarity required.”

Science, Public Health Policy and the Law: The parents face $118,000 in fines for noncompliance with the state’s vaccination requirements

By Michael Nevradakis, Ph.D.

Last week’s decision was the second time the 2nd Circuit ruled against the plaintiffs. The same court previously dismissed the suit in 2024, upholding a decision by another federal court earlier that year.

In December 2025, the Supreme Court sent the case back to the 2nd Circuit, asking it to review constitutional questions arising out of a separate ruling, Mahmoud v. Taylor, in 2024. In that case, the Supreme Court found that parents have the right to request an exemption for their children from LGBTQ curriculum on religious grounds.

According to The Washington Post, last week’s ruling in Miller v. McDonald may “set the stage for a potential Supreme Court battle over vaccine mandates,” citing legal experts who suggested the court is likely to accept the case for review on constitutional grounds and in light of the Mahmoud v. Taylor decision.

Lawrence Gostin, a Georgetown University professor of health law and an outspoken vaccine proponent, told the Post he expects the Supreme Court to “reverse the appellate court’s decision” if it chooses to review the case.

News Max: Sen. Ron Johnson Expects Little From Fauci Testimony.

Sen. Ron Johnson said he expects little cooperation from Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director, when he testifies before the Senate this week, as Republicans prepare to question the longtime public health official about the federal government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, The Hill reported Sunday.

The Wisconsin Republican told Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” that “I don’t expect to get much out of him” during Fauci’s testimony before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.

Johnson added, “I think [Fauci would] be very forgetful, completely unrepentant, arrogant — I mean, arrogant to the extreme.”

The senator said he intends to use Wednesday’s hearing to highlight what he views as failure in the government’s handling of the pandemic, stressing that “I’m going to try and lay out all the things that he did that were such a miserably failed response to COVID.”

The hearing comes after committee Chairman Rand Paul subpoenaed Fauci to testify as part of the panel’s investigation into the origins of COVID-19 and the government’s involvement in research conducted in China.

The Kentucky Republican has alleged that federal officials concealed information about U.S.-funded viral research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where he and other Republicans argue the virus that caused the pandemic may have originated.

U.S. intelligence agencies remain divided over COVID-19’s origins, and no definitive conclusion has been reached about whether the virus emerged from a laboratory incident or through natural animal-to-human transmission.

Paul has repeatedly accused Fauci of misleading Congress regarding research funding and has argued the former NIAID director should face criminal charges.

During a 2021 Senate hearing, Fauci denied that the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases funded gain-of-function research involving the virus that causes COVID-19 at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

In previous interviews, Paul has said he expects Fauci to be untruthful during his upcoming testimony.

“I don’t expect him to be honest; he hasn’t been honest in the last six years,” Paul said recently.

Paul also said negotiations with Fauci over documents and testimony had dragged on for months before the committee issued a subpoena.

“We’ve been negotiating with him for material and for testimony,” Paul told CNBC last month. “This has gone on for some time. He slow-walked us and slow-walked us. Finally agreed to come in voluntarily … then last week he says he’s not coming in. With this subpoena power, we will bring him in, unless he fights this in court.”

Fauci, who retired from government service in 2022 after advising seven presidents dating back to the Reagan administration, received a preemptive pardon from former President Joe Biden before Biden left office amid concerns that the Trump administration could pursue legal action against him.

Wednesday’s hearing is expected to renew congressional scrutiny of the government’s pandemic response, including funding decisions, public health guidance, and investigations into the origins of COVID-19.

PRAGUE (AP) — A Czech zoo has welcomed a critically endangered eastern black rhinoceros baby that has taken the name of Ukraine’s capital Kyiv in honor of that country’s resistance to invading Russian forces.

The rhino was born early on March 4 in the Dvur Kralove zoo, a rare occurrence for the facility even if it has the most rhinos belonging to the subspecies.

“The name is another expression of our support for the Ukrainian heroes,“ zoo Director Premysl Rabas said.

Kyiv’s mother Eva has been taking care of him in a best possible way, the zoo said, with the baby gaining 1 kilogram (2.20 pounds) a day. It currently weighs about 50 kilograms (110 pounds) .

Poaching has reduced the number of the eastern black rhinos living in the wild to around 800. The Czech park has 14.

Only three other such rhinos have been born in other zoos around the world in the last year.

A total of 47 eastern black rhinos have been born in Dvur Kralove since the park received the first one in 1971.

Many of them are now in various zoos around the globe but nine have been returned to Rwanda and Tanzania to live in the wild.

Tokyo Reporter: Tokyo man arrested for stealing women’s underwear says he did it to ‘relieve stress’

By Tokyo Reporter Staff on July 16, 2026

Tokyo Metropolitan Police have arrested a 34-year-old company employee for allegedly breaking into a Tokyo home and stealing women’s underwear while the resident was asleep, reports Nippon News Network (July 15).

According to the Metropolitan Police Department, Noritaka Furiya is accused of trespassing into a residence in Akishima City this past May and making off with eight items of women’s underwear, valued at approximately 4,000 yen.

Investigators allege Furiya slipped into the detached house through an unlocked front door. Taking advantage of the sleeping resident, he rummaged through a chest of drawers to steal the garments before fleeing the scene.

Upon his arrest, Furiya fully admitted to the allegations.

“I did it to relieve pent-up frustration,” the suspect told police. He also confessed to a history of similar crimes, stating, “I have stolen underwear many other times.”

The surrounding area has recently been plagued by a string of similar break-ins where women’s undergarments were targeted. The MPD is currently investigating Furiya’s involvement in these serial thefts.

The History Channel: Where Is Petra? Petra is located about 150 miles south of both Jerusalem and Amman, the capital of Jordan, and about midway between Damascus, Syria, and the Red Sea, making it ideally suited as a hub of commerce in the area.

The site is considered significant by historians and archeologists alike because of its beautiful rock-cut architecture and innovative water management system, the latter of which made the region inhabitable, given that it is surrounded by desert and rugged, mountainous terrain.

Petra has also been referred to as the “Rose City” because of the color of the stones used in its buildings. It was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985.

Influencer killed by husband after she accused him of pedophilia on TikTok. From NBC News

Sara Gilson was fatally shot by estranged husband Jeremiah Duffey, who’d been accused of molesting a girl, a little over a month after she posted the video.

A social media influencer was killed by her estranged husband less than two weeks after she posted on TikTok accusing him of pedophilia, according to police and court records.

Sara Gilson was fatally shot Thursday in Owasso, Oklahoma, by husband Jeremiah Duffey, who went by Shawn Duffey on social media, according to the Owasso Police Department. She was 43.

A little over a month earlier, on June 10, she filed and was granted an emergency protective order against Duffey after police informed her he’d been accused the day prior of molesting a minor.

On July 11, Gilson posted a video on TikTok, where she had more than 30,000 followers, accusing Duffey of pedophilia.

“Preparing for when Netflix drops a documentary about my soon to be ex husband who I just found out is a pedophile,” Gilson wrote.

The video referenced a popular social media trend that mimics Netflix documentaries, with users pretending to sit for a tell-all interview. Her caption read: “I wish I was joking. #plottwist #netflix #documentary.”

Less than two weeks later, Gilson was killed.

On June 9, about a month before Gilson posted the video, a girl and a parent told police that Duffey, who coached the girl’s traveling basketball team, inappropriately touched her during an event at an elementary school earlier that evening, police said. Another team coach saw what happened and immediately intervened and reported it to the girl’s parent, police said.

“Similar conduct by this coach towards this particular juvenile player was reported to have occurred over an extended period of time, in multiple law enforcement jurisdictions, across multiple states prior to this incident,” police said Saturday.

Duffey fled and had not been seen by police since.

Because Duffey was a member of the Osage tribe and the incident at the school happened on tribal land, police said, they submitted the case for a charge of lewd molestation of a minor to the U.S. attorney’s office for review, “ending the jurisdiction of the Owasso Police Department over this reported incident.”

Following the report, police contacted Gilson and gave her information on how to seek an emergency protective order.

She did just that and the order was granted June 10, Tulsa County court records show. Duffey was ordered to stay 100 yards away from Gilson and her home at all times. The attorney who represented Duffey did not immediately respond to a request for comment Saturday.

On Thursday, officers responded to a domestic violence incident at a residence in the city of Collinsville at 11:16 p.m. after a 911 call in which dispatchers heard a woman screaming followed by “what sounded to be a gunshot,” police said. Dispatchers attempted to call back but got no answer.

Moments later, a boy called 911 from a neighbor’s home and said his stepfather had shot his mother, police said. When officers arrived at the home, they found Gilson and Duffey dead from apparent gunshot wounds to the head, police said.

Police are still investigating, but they said the deaths appear to be a murder-suicide.

Gilson’s son was taken into protective custody and later released to a parent who wasn’t involved in the incident, authorities said. Gilson leaves behind the son and a daughter.

“Sara was an incredible mom. Her children were the center of her world, and everything she did was for them,” an online fundraiser set up for the kids said. “She loved them fiercely, worked hard to provide for them, and dreamed of giving them the best life possible.”
