Street takeovers aren't entertainment they're increasingly becoming scenes of tragedy. Beyond the dangerous stunts and reckless driving, these illegal gatherings have seen a growing number of shootings, serious injuries, and deaths, putting participants, spectators, and innocent bystanders at risk.

Those skid marks on the street tell stories of lives cut short. They are reminders of lives lost, families forever changed, and futures gone too soon. The skid marks fade, but the pain doesn't.

Choose safety. Choose life. Celebrate responsibly and help keep our roads safe for everyone. Deputies will be out on patrol, and vehicles participating in street takeovers will be towed.

Let's work together to make sure everyone gets home safely.

The Wichita Police Department, Kansas, is mourning the loss of retired Captain Felecia Norris, the department's first African American woman to achieve the rank of captain.

During a career in law enforcement that spanned over 30 years, Norris stuck up for a lot of people. She graduated from the police academy in Wichita in 1981 and in 2004 became the department’s first Black female captain.

She dedicated 32 years to serving her community before retiring in 2014.

WATCH: Sheriff Chad Chronister provided an update to the community on the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office deputy-involved shooting.

The incident happened on West Shell Point Road near U.S. 41.

One deputy was shot in the face, and another was shot in the neck, Chronister said.

"Our suspect ambushed our deputies from the moment they arrived on scene. He was intent on taking the life of a deputy sheriff," he said.

The sheriff said a woman reported Thursday morning that she had been held hostage overnight by her ex-boyfriend, but that he allowed her to leave when she told him she had an appointment she couldn't miss.

Deputies later responded to the home, and that's where the deputies were shot.

They were medevaced to Tampa General Hospital, the sheriff's office said. Chronister said he was able to speak to each deputy before they were transported.

The office also said that the suspect was shot and later died at a hospital.

Chronister said there was no threat to public safety.

Praying and believing in a full recovery for both deputies.🙏🏻

⚠️When emergency response times stretch to an average of 45 minutes for Priority One calls, every second matters. Behind every statistic is a family, a neighborhood, and lives forever changed.

San Diego deserves better. Our first responders deserve the resources they need, and our communities deserve to know that help will arrive when it's needed most.

"When someone calls 911 because a life is in danger, waiting more than 45 minutes for help is unacceptable. Our officers are doing everything they can, but they simply cannot be everywhere at once." - SDPOA President Jared Wilson

During her first press briefing back at the podium, Karoline Leavitt opens up about balancing motherhood with one of the most demanding jobs in Washington, saying it takes "a village" and giving credit to her husband for being home with their babies.

"I view this as more than a job. I view this as public service on behalf of a president who I firmly believe in everything this administration is doing, and really creating a better country for my children and their future."

"There is no secret. You just have to show up every day and keep going."

According to investigative reporter Paul Sperry:

President Trump is dropping a massive bombshell in tonight’s primetime address: explosive new evidence that China interfered in the 2020 election to help Joe Biden win — including hacking state voter registration databases and stealing data on tens of thousands of voters to manufacture mail-in ballots.

The proof comes from four sets of declassified documents (releasing Friday) unearthed from suppressed FBI, CIA, and ODNI records. It reveals “alarming vulnerabilities” in election infrastructure and a massive cover-up of Beijing’s hacking and influence ops favoring Biden.

Additional bombshell: Over 100,000 non-citizens, including illegal immigrants, on U.S. voter rolls.

Today is a historic moment in the FBI’s war on fraud.

The Foreign Transfer of Custody of Abdikerm Abdelahi Eidleh brings to justice one of the alleged ringleaders of the $250 million ‘Feeding our Future’ fraud scandal out of Minnesota, where the FBI has already helped secure over 70 guilty pleas from fraudsters in partnership with the Justice Department.
