UPDATE: Miami Sheriff ID’s victims in cargo plane crash.

The five people killed when an Amazon cargo jet ran off the runway at Miami International Airport were all inside a van used to shuttle crews that clean planes, authorities said.

The jet overran the runway while landing Sunday. It slammed into the van on airport property, careened through a fence and then smashed an SUV on a city street.

Five other people were injured. The pilot and co-pilot have been released from the hospital, Miami-Dade County Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz said Tuesday. Two people remain in critical condition, while a third is in stable condition.

The Miami-Dade sheriff identified the deceased as Rolando Aleman Leon, 55; Yoel Rodriguez Narajo, 53; Julio C. Pineda, 75; Carlos Acosta Fajardo, 53; and J. Reyes Quevedo, 47.

The flight had been operated by 21 Air, a cargo carrier based in North Carolina. The 32-year-old Boeing 767 was originally built to carry passengers and flew for several airlines in foreign countries for more than two decades before being converted to a cargo plane in 2015, according to flight-tracking site Flightradar24.

Two of the four runways at the Miami airport remained closed Tuesday, and Homendy said they will not be reopened until NTSB investigators gather all the information they need from the crash scene.

More than 225 flights were canceled Sunday and Monday, and hundreds more were delayed, officials said.

Rest in Peace, Deputy Sheriff Terrian Bailey of the Claiborne County Sheriff’s Department in Mississippi. End of Watch: September 7, 2026.

Deputy Sheriff Bailey served for 6 years and is survived by his wife and 5 children.

The FBI sends our prayers and condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues left behind. They will have our full support.

A foster mom accused of TRADING A TEEN FOR A MONKEY just got PROBATION after pleading guilty to felony child endangerment.

Brenda Deutsch, 70, was accused of sending a teenage foster child to Texas in an arrangement investigators said involved an exotic monkey.

She ultimately pleaded guilty to first-degree child endangerment, and Judge Thomas Frawley sentenced her to seven years in prison before suspending the sentence and placing her on just THREE YEARS OF PROBATION.

Here's the kicker: Deutsch's foster-care license was STILL ACTIVE! The judge had to revoke the license from the bench.

He reportedly called her conduct reprehensible and apologized to the victims for how the system failed them.

How in the world did this woman keep her license all the way through sentencing?

Today, as the Warm Springs community comes together to honor and lay to rest a fallen officer, we stand alongside his family, his fellow officers, and the entire Warm Springs Police Department.

The DEA stands with Warm Springs today and always. We are honored to support our law enforcement partners during this difficult time and to remember a hero who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to his community.

20 DAYS IN JAIL for negligent homicide and vehicular manslaughter? A father and his 11-year-old son were killed in a six-vehicle crash, and the man convicted in the case, who now has an ICE detainer issued, will serve just 20 DAYS in jail.

Yvio Michel pleaded no contest to negligent homicide and vehicular manslaughter after authorities said his tractor-trailer failed to yield to backed-up traffic on I-75 in Allen County and triggered the crash.

Hurshel Gipson, 52, and his 11-year-old son Michael were killed. Hurshel's wife, Amanda, was seriously injured. Judge Tammie Hursh imposed just two mandatory 10-day jail terms and ordered them served consecutively.

Michel also received a two-year driver's license suspension, $1,000 in fines and additional suspended jail time. Allen County Jail officials say ICE has placed a detainer on him and immigration authorities will be contacted when his sentence ends.

A family lost a father and a child. This is absolutely unacceptable.

Critical Incident Update:
A Message from Chief Phil Galer

On Thursday, September 3, at approximately 3:45 PM Officer Jimmy Sanchez, a four- and half-year veteran of the police department, was violently attacked and shot while fighting for his life inside the Pittsburg Police Department booking facility.

Our preliminary investigation determined that officers arrested 31-year-old Michael Sanchez Gardner Martin for driving a stolen vehicle and outstanding felony warrants. He was searched at the time of his arrest and again after being transported to our booking facility. During both searches, the same officer failed to locate a firearm concealed in the suspect’s clothing.

That was a serious failure. We acknowledge it, and it will be thoroughly examined through an administrative investigation. We will determine how it happened and take immediate corrective action to prevent it from happening again.

But that failure cannot be allowed to obscure what happened next.

Based on our preliminary investigation and available evidence, after being placed in a holding cell, the suspect concealed the firearm inside a toilet. A few hours later while awaiting transport to county jail, he retrieved it and hid it beneath a jail blanket draped over his shoulders.

Officer Jimmy Sanchez, who was not the arresting or searching officer, later entered the booking facility. At this time the suspect asked him for water and told him he was not feeling well. Officer Sanchez brought him water and approached the cell to check on his welfare.

The suspect responded to that act of compassion by attacking him.

Without warning, he punched Officer Sanchez in the face, threw the blanket over his head and repeatedly struck him in the head with the firearm. The suspect then succeeded in firing a single round. Preliminary evidence indicates that round first passed through the suspect’s own thigh before striking Officer Sanchez in the lower abdomen below his body armor. Based on the evidence currently available, both gunshot wounds resulted from the single round fired by the suspect.

Officer Sanchez had been ambushed, beaten and shot. He still did not stop fighting.

His actions prevented the suspect from firing another round and gave responding officers the time they needed to enter the facility, disarm the suspect and end the attack. Those officers responded without hesitation and demonstrated extraordinary courage, discipline and restraint.

They then provided immediate medical aid to both Officer Sanchez and the suspect.

I want to make one very clear distinction. While the firearm should have never been allowed to make it into our booking facility, it was Martin who knowingly concealed, retrieved and then utilized that firearm to ambush, violently assault and ultimately try to take the life of one of our officers. That distinction matters and I do not want legitimate criticism of a failure of a young officer’s search to overshadow that fact.

Officer Sanchez did not survive because Martin stopped his attack or decided to change course. Officer Sanchez survived because he refused to give up. He survived because he fought through a brutal attack, a gunshot wound, and because he and his fellow officers physically ripped a gun away from Martin’s hands.

That is the story I do not want to get lost as we move forward through this traumatic incident.

As it relates to medical status. The suspect was treated at a local hospital and subsequently booked the same day into county jail on multiple felony charges including attempted murder of a police officer. Officer Sanchez underwent surgery for his injuries and is recovering with family and the department by his side. A third assisting officer was treated for minor injuries and is recovering.

I want to thank our community, elected officials and City staff for the extraordinary support they have shown Officer Sanchez, his family and our department. I also want to thank the first responders and medical personnel who cared for him, and the Pittsburg police officers who responded that day with courage, decisive action, professionalism and restraint.

In closing, several media stories have reported details of this incident citing “police sources.” I want to be clear these sources were not authorized Pittsburg Police informational releases. I have intentionally delayed this official release until our detectives and investigators from the Contra County District Attorney’s Office have had an opportunity to collect and review critical evidence and interview all applicable witnesses. This is still an active investigation and I do not plan on releasing any further information at this time. Our focus will remain on supporting our officers, their family and ensuring the integrity of this investigation as it moves forward through the criminal justice system.

It is with heavy hearts that the Wellston Fire Department, Oklahoma, announces the death of Firefighter Joe Flake.

Joe joined the Wellston Fire Department approximately four months ago. After retiring from a career as a truck driver, Joe wanted to continue serving by giving back to his community. He applied to join the department, successfully completed the same testing process required of every recruit, and earned his place on our roster.

On Monday, September 7, Joe was assisting crews at a large grass fire when he suffered a medical emergency. He was transported to the hospital, where he passed away later that evening.

We are grateful for Joe’s service, his willingness to answer the call, and his commitment to serving his neighbors. His service and dedication will not be forgotten.

Rest In Peace, Hero🖤❤️

On Monday afternoon, we received a 911 call for help on the Greater East Side after a good Samaritan spotted a child in a pond who appeared to be struggling to get out.

Saint Paul Police immediately launched one of our docked drones, flown by a trained officer. The docked drone arrived on scene two minutes prior to officers’ arrival and was able to provide them with essential information about the location and status of the child. Officers were able to pull the child safely from the water.

According to the child’s family, the child has autism and had wandered away from their home without them knowing.

Our ability to swiftly locate and guide officers to the child using our docked drone resources resulted in this positive outcome.
