A man from Nevada was killed and his son was seriously injured over the weekend after multiple lightning strikes on a reservoir in California left several hurt. The incident happened Saturday afternoon at the Stampede Reservoir in Sierra County, located northwest of Truckee, as thunderstorms were reported in the area. Officials told FOX11 that Eugene Arao, 47, was on a jet ski on the reservoir with his son nearby when they were struck by lightning. The death in California was also the 6th jet ski-related fatality in the U.S. since 2006. Between 2006 and 2019, a review of some 418 fatal lightning strikes found that 62 percent of deaths were linked to leisure activities. Activities where people may be outside and not know if a storm is approaching when they are camping or fishing because they are using a motor on a boat that drowns out the sound of thunder are factors to consider.
A brawl broke out among several people at the guitar-shaped Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla. leads to multiple arrests. The incident reportedly took place Friday at the hotel and involved around 10 to 15 people, many of whom were dressed in swimwear and most were wearing masks. The group engaged in a minutes-long fight spanning a corridor inside the Hard Rock hotel. The violence continues for more than three minutes. Security and employees appear to attempt to break up the brutal brawl, but are seemingly unable. It is unclear what prompted the vicious fight, but court records reported by the Sun-Sentinel claim Manuel Aguilar, 26, of Miami, was the “primary aggressor.” According to the reports, he hit another man from behind, which led to the #brawl. Aguilar was reportedly arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and possession of oxycodone.
An officer of the National Guard is expected to invoke whistleblower protection at Tuesday's House hearing probing the use of force during a protest in Washington, D.C.'s Lafayette Square last month, pitting him against President Trump and the acting chief of the U.S. Park Police, who have polar opposite accounts of the same incident, FOX NEWS reported. National Guard Maj. Adam DeMarco said the warnings by officers – required by law – that the park was going to be cleared of hundreds of demonstrators, who he says we largely peaceful, were “barely audible” from his position 20 yards away, according to his pre-written testimony to House Natural Resources Committee. DeMarco is expected to invoke the Military Whistleblower Protection Act, which in part says that no one can block a member of the armed forces from lawful communications with Congress.

Sacramento Police released body camera footage from the officer involved #shooting that killed 22-year-old Jeremy Southern at an apartment complex near Sacramento State University. Police said officers were at The Crossings apartment complex on Ramona Avenue on Tuesday, July 21, to investigate a shooting from July 15. While at the complex, police say an officer identified Southern as the man matching the description of the previous shooting because of a "distinctive visible tattoo." In the footage from multiple body-worn cameras, officers can be heard identifying themselves as police and shouting at Southern to drop his weapon. Footage from a witness recording from an apartment above appears to show Southern aiming his weapon toward the officers. (Read the full story.)
