UPDATE: At approximately 2:53 p.m., officers from the Florence Police Department and deputies from the Lauderdale County Sheriff’s Office responded to PNC Bank on Cox Creek Parkway for a welfare check involving a male who had reportedly threatened to rob the bank. As officers and deputies arrived on scene, the male suspect was seen leaving the bank.

A vehicle pursuit ensued as the suspect fled. The chase concluded when the suspect's vehicle collided with another vehicle on Highway 72, just east of County Road 323. After the crash, the suspect exited his vehicle armed with a firearm and advanced toward law enforcement officers, prompting an exchange of gunfire.

During the incident, one officer was struck in the shoulder, as was another individual. The suspect was shot and pronounced deceased at the scene.

At the time of this release, both the officer and the other individual are reported to be in stable condition.

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

Another update to tonight’s massive story:

CHP air units are severely underfunded and unable to patrol. They require SHR approval for emergencies but are not allowed to assist in pursuits or standoffs. They can only respond to rescues if no other helicopters are available.

With maintenance and fuel costs rising, $100M isn’t enough. The future of CHP Air Ops is uncertain—hoping state officials step in with more funding.

POTUS: "I read some of these deals that are made by my predecessors, and it's almost like saying, how could anybody allow this to happen? As an example, who would allow men to play in women's sports? ... Are they stupid or do they truly hate our country?"

POTUS: "If you think about it, I shouldn't be here with you right now... had I not turned away at that very, very, very instant, I wouldn't be sitting here with you... I do feel the support, I really do. Somebody said that God saved me in order to save this country." 🙏🏻

NEW: A suspect was arrested after throwing at least 2 Molotov cocktails at vehicles driving down 2nd street in Long Beach. No motive released by police but I’m sure it was just an "upstanding citizen" having a bad day for the 27th time (arrest).

Obituary for my father.

Richard Warner Carlson died at 84 on March 24, 2025 at home in Boca Grande, Florida after six weeks of illness. He refused all painkillers to the end and left this world with dignity and clarity, holding the hands of his children with his dogs at his feet.

He was born February 10, 1941 at Massachusetts General Hospital to a 15-year-old Swedish-speaking girl and placed in the Home for Little Wanderers in Boston, where he developed rickets from malnutrition. His legs were bent for the rest of his life. After years in foster homes, he was placed with the Carlson family in Norwood, Mass. His adoptive father, a tannery manager, died when he was 12 and he stopped attending school regularly. At 17, he was jailed for car theft, thrown out of high school for the second time, and enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps.

In 1962, in search of adventure, he drove to California. He spent a year as a merchant seaman on the SS Washington Bear, transporting cargo to ports in the Orient, and then became a reporter. Over the next decade, he was a copy boy at the LA Times, a wire service reporter for UPI and an investigative reporter and anchor for ABC News, covering the upheaval of the period. He knew virtually every compelling figure of the time, including Jim Jones, Patty Hearst, Eric Hoffer, Jerry Garcia, as well as Mafia leaders and members of the Manson Family. In 1965, he was badly injured reporting from the Watts riots in Los Angeles.

By 1975, he was married with two small boys, when his wife departed for Europe and didn’t return. He threw himself into raising his boys, whom he often brought with him on reporting trips. At home, he educated them during three-hour dinners on topics that ranged from the French Revolution to Bolshevik Russia, PG Wodehouse, the history of the American Indian and, always, the eternal and unchanging nature of people. He was a free thinker and a compulsive book reader, including at red lights. He left a library of thousands of books, most dog-eared and filled with marginalia. His reading and life experiences convinced him that God is real. He had an outlaw spirit tempered by decency.

In 1979, he married the love of his life, Patricia Swanson. They were together for 44 years, all of them happy. She died sixteen months before he did and he mourned her every day.

In 1985, he moved to Washington to work for the Reagan Administration. He spent five years as the director of the Voice of America, and then moved to the Seychelles as the US ambassador. In 1992, he became the CEO of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and later ran a division of King World television.

The last 25 years of his life were spent in work whose details were never completely clear to his family, but that was clearly interesting. He worked in dozens of countries and breakaway republics around the world, and was involved in countless intrigues. He knew a number of colorful national leaders, including Rafic Hariri of Lebanon, Aslan Abashidze of Adjara, Mobutu Sese Seko of Zaire, and whomever runs Somaliland. He was a fundamentally nonjudgmental person who was impossible to shock, and he described them all with amused affection.

He spoke to his sons every day and had lunch with them once a week for thirty years at the Metropolitan Club in Washington, always prefaced by a dice game. Throughout his life he fervently loved dogs.

Richard W. Carlson is survived by his sons, Tucker and Buckley, his beloved daughter-in-law Susie, and five grandchildren. He was the toughest human being anyone in his family ever knew, and also the kindest and most loyal. RIP.

Tucker Carlson
