The Department of Homeland Security updated its terrorism threat advisory system following the US airstrike targeting a top Iranian general and is warning of the potential for Iranian cyber attacks. Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf issued a new National Terrorism Advisory System bulletin in the wake of the drone attack, which killed the head of the Revolutionary Guards’ Quds Force Qasem Soleimani. The bulletin details the attack and potential Iranian threat, including previous plots against US infrastructure and cyber targets. “Iran maintains a robust cyber program and can execute cyber attacks against the United States,” reads the bulletin, which expires January 18.

A man in South Carolina who fatally shot a public safety officer during a traffic stop at a regional airport on Sunday and fled the scene has been caught, authorities said. The suspect initially fled the Florence Regional Airport, but was later captured by Florence County deputies, the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) said in a news release. The SLED said no additional details on the circumstances that led up to the shooting or how deputies caught the suspect could be released at this time. The names of both the suspect and the officer have also yet to be released. The incident marks the first officer-involved shooting in South Carolina in 2020, according to the SLED. Last year, 45 officer-involved shootings occurred in the state. The division said it’s handling the ongoing investigation and will summarize all information gathered in a case file report which will be submitted to prosecutors.

A South Carolina prison escapee was back behind bars on New Year’s Day after spending 40 years on the lam. Jose Romero was part of a prison work crew when he took off on Dec. 13, 1979, with seven years to go on an 18-year-old prison sentence for armed robbery, FOX News reports. He was apprehended Wednesday in Dover, Del., where he was living under the name Arnaldo Figueroa, Dover police said Thursday. He became a fugitive when he was 24. Romero's eventual undoing was a Dec. 28 arrest for public intoxication and trespassing in Dover. Police processed the case under Romero’s assumed name. His proof of identity was an identification card from the Delaware Department of Motor Vehicles that had been issued to Arnaldo Figueroa, police said. But police also took his fingerprints, which came back two days after the arrest to Romero “who was a wanted subject out of South Carolina.”

January is traditionally the coldest time of year for much of the East, but several states will see an uptick in weather in the next eight to 14 day outlook. The warmest conditions are predicted to be felt in the Southeast and lower Mississippi Valley, with an extension into the Midwest, Plains and mid-Atlantic. The lowest point in the Southeast, including Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas, are expected to see hotter than average temperatures. In Orlando, Florida, average temperatures peak at 75 degrees, but upcoming forecasts show a high of 84 degrees just before mid-January. Nashville, Tennessee, which typically sees an average high of 47 degrees, may see a 66 degree day as early as Friday. The average 57 degrees high in Dallas, Texas, can also be upstaged by a surprisingly warm 71 degrees by Thursday.

A one-year-old boy was killed and a 20-year-old college student injured after a gunman opened fire through a bedroom window early Sunday morning in South Dallas, police said.The unnamed gunman, who remained at large, walked up to the home just before 3:30 a.m. and opened fire with a rifle, investigators said. The child, Rory Norman, who would have celebrated his second birthday on Jan. 24, later died after paramedics rushed him to the hospital, reported FOX News. The shooting sparked an angry reaction from Dallas Police Chief Reneé Hall, who later said at a news conference, "this shit has to stop in this city!" Norman's uncle, a 20-year-old college student, was home for the holidays when the gunman shot him multiple times. He was recovering in stable condition at the hospital. "Whoever pulled this trigger, we will find you," Hall said, adding that very little information was known about the shooter but that the Homicide Response Team and the Dallas PD were investigating 👮🏻‍♂️
