Please, praying for McIntosh County Sheriff Steve Delzer who was shot in the line of duty yesterday.🙏🏻

North Dakota: Attempted murder charges have been filed against a Seattle man who’s accused of shooting McIntosh County Sheriff Steve Delzer in the hand and a deputy was struck in the head with a tire jack, according to court documents filed Friday in LaMoure County.

The incident began when Elkin D. Fontecha Gomez, 26, called 911 at approximately 7:48 a.m. on May 14, 2026, making irrational statements and saying people were “hunting him” and someone wanted to “kill him.” He also expressed concern that police would shoot him. Fontecha Gomez, who spoke mainly Spanish and little English, told dispatch he had no weapons.
Sheriff Delzer and Deputy Jorge Oliver responded and found Fontecha Gomez near his broken-down 2006 black Toyota Scion with Washington license plates on a gravel road near Kulm. The officers helped get the vehicle running and began driving it toward Kulm, with Deputy Oliver driving the Scion and Fontecha Gomez in the passenger seat, while Sheriff Delzer led in his marked patrol unit.

The Scion broke down a second time on County Road 33. As Deputy Oliver and Fontecha Gomez looked under the hood, Fontecha Gomez grabbed a black iron tire jack and struck Deputy Oliver in the head. He then pulled Deputy Oliver’s firearm from his holster and fired an unknown number of rounds toward both Deputy Oliver and Sheriff Delzer.
Sheriff Delzer returned fire with his service weapon. Deputy Oliver retreated to Sheriff Delzer’s patrol unit, retrieved a 9mm carbine duty rifle, and also returned fire. Fontecha Gomez then fled on foot, eastbound down the gravel road and into an adjacent field, still armed with Deputy Oliver’s firearm.
Law enforcement established a perimeter and deployed a drone to search the area. Fontecha Gomez was located near a slough, still carrying the firearm. He eventually tossed the weapon to the ground and surrendered to officers. He was taken to Jamestown Regional Medical Center for assessment before being transported to the Stutsman County Correctional Center.
Investigators found 32 shell casings at the scene.
Sheriff Delzer suffered a fragment wound to his left hand during the exchange of gunfire. Both he and Deputy Oliver were taken to regional clinics for medical care.

MacArthur Park Update:

We promised the public a continued law enforcement presence at the park, and today we provide a critical update on an outstanding arrest by LAPD.

On the evening of Thursday, May 14, 2026, Rampart Narcotics Detectives conducted an operation along the 600 block of Alvarado across from MacArthur Park. Officers observed activity consistent with narcotics sales, which led to the detention of five individuals who were also employees of the businesses. During the investigation, fentanyl, prescription medication, and a large amount of U.S. currency were seized.

Five suspects were arrested on state charges, while my office determines whether to bring federal charges with DEA Los Angeles against these suspects.

We will continue working with our law enforcement partners at LAPD and the DEA to combat narcotics sales and keep our communities safe in and around MacArthur Park.

"If the evidence shows the parent knew or should have known or permitted or failed to prevent participation, we're going to charge them."

"If you drop your kid off and you fail to supervise them, or you let them skip school to join the chaos, you are going to face fines, court ordered classes, and possible jail time."

NEW: Cook County's chief judge says releasing a 5-time felon with 4 pending felony cases was not a mistake.

"How do you predict what another human being is going to do?"

“Start with the obvious — his criminal history,” says Chief Weitzel

"Talley remained on the loose until the morning of April 25, when, prosecutors say, he violently robbed a female cashier at a Northwest Side dollar store, got arrested, feigned illness, and then used a secreted handgun to murder Officer John Bartholomew and wound a second officer as they guarded him at Swedish Hospital."

BREAKING: Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) commuted the sentence of Tina Peters on Friday afternoon.

"The former Republican Mesa County Clerk was serving a nearly nine-year sentence for her role in allowing unauthorized access to her county's election equipment in an attempt to uncover election fraud.

Polis commuted her sentence to four-and-a-half years and said she would be eligible for parole next month. Before Polis' commutation, Peters' earliest parole date would have been March 2028."

NEW: An Iraqi national and senior member of a U.S.-designated terror organization was arrested and brought to New York to face trial on federal terrorism charges.

Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood al-Saadi is accused of coordinating nearly 20 terror attacks in Europe and plotting additional attacks on U.S. soil.

The suspect is accused of directing strikes on behalf of Iran-backed Islamist group Ashab al-Yamin since March.

The FBI said it took action after learning that al-Saadi was planning to expand Ashab al-Yamin’s operations to the U.S., allegedly directing individuals to coordinate American terror attacks against synagogues and other Jewish institutions across the country.
