NEW: The president of Tyler Perry Studios was killed in a single-passenger plane crash on Friday evening in Florida, according to multiple news reports.

Steve Mensch, 62, had been in charge of the film studio since 2016. His death was initially reported by TMZ. Reports say that Mensch was piloting the plane that crashed on a road in Homosassa, Florida. He was the lone passenger.

Lidia Curanaj: "If you or I were sitting on that train, we would have thanked Penny for risking his life to save ours. Instead, look at what they're doing to him, how they demonize him. If Penny is found guilty, all I can say is God help us all."

Four people, including two Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputies, were hospitalized after a crash in Compton Saturday.

It happened just after noon, at the intersection of E. Compton Boulevard and Wiliams Avenue, according to LASD. An unmarked LASD patrol car crashed into a civilian's car. 

At least two deputies were brought to the hospital as a precaution, and two people from the other vehicle were also brought to the hospital, but their conditions were unclear. 

Please join us in sending prayers and, or positive thoughts for their recovery. 🙏🏽

BREAKING! U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces conducted dozens of precision airstrikes targeting known ISIS camps and operatives in central Syria, Dec. 8.

The strikes against the ISIS leaders, operatives, and camps were conducted as part of the ongoing mission to disrupt, degrade, and defeat ISIS, in order to prevent the terrorist group from conducting external operations and to ensure that ISIS does not seek to take advantage of the current situation to reconstitute in central Syria.

The operation struck over 75 targets using multiple U.S. Air Force assets, including B-52s, F-15s, and A-10s.

Battle damage assessments are underway, and there are no indications of civilian casualties.

CENTCOM, together with allies and partners in the region, will continue to carry out operations to degrade ISIS operational capabilities even during this dynamic period in Syria.

"There should be no doubt - we will not allow ISIS to reconstitute and take advantage of the current situation in Syria," said General Michael Erik Kurilla, "All organizations in Syria should know that we will hold them accountable if they partner with or support ISIS in any way."

Job well done by the Detroit Police!

Detroit police have arrested seven suspects who are allegedly responsible for at least five car-jackings.

The arrest and officer-involved shooting occurred Saturday night on Conant Street and Outer Drive on the east side.

Video obtained by MDN captures the latest incident unfolding.

According to Detroit police chief Todd Bettison, undercover officers were doing surveillance on multiple suspects.

As police were conducting surveillance on the suspects, they observed them attempting to rob another person at the gas station of his Durango.

Officers then got out of their vehicles and confronted the suspects. During the confrontation, one suspect pointed his g.un at officers and officers fired shots at the suspect, chief said.

One suspect was hit in the arm, while the other suspects fled the scene and were later arrested after a pursuit that ended in a crash in the area of I-75 and 7 Mile. No officers were injured.

Ohio: A Shelby police officer fatally shot a man after the suspect stabbed the officer in the neck, police say. 

According to a press release from the Shelby Police Department, Sergeant Noah Kocher is in stable condition after the attack. The suspect, Tyler Jacobs, was pronounced dead at a hospital. 

Around 11:18 p.m. Saturday, Kocher and another officer, Dominic Ewing, attempted to serve Jacobs a Shelby Municipal Court warrant at an Arby's restaurant on Mansfield Avenue. Police said that after the officers made contact and told Jacobs of the warrant, the suspect stabbed Kocher with a knife. 

After Kocher was able to separate himself from Jacobs, the suspect ran toward Kocher with his knife still in hand, police say. Kocher drew his weapon and fired, hitting Jacobs.

Ewing, who was covering the restaurant's back door, "made immediate entry and provided aid to Sergeant Kocher and provided critical aid to Jacobs," the press release stated. 

Police did not immediately provide details of the extent of Kocher's injuries.
