Miramar Police spokesperson Janice McIntosh said officers at the scene encountered a second person, a male, who was with the woman in the apartment and was cooperating with the investigation.
"They are actually known to each other and we are just trying to piece, put together what is happening and our detectives are still on scene," McIntosh said.
The man, who lives at the apartment, is believed to have shot the woman, officials said
A witness who remained at the scene said the male in the red hoodie, later identified as Anthony Rodriguez "was challenging the males to fight while he was trying to reach into the food truck."
The witness stated the employees at the food truck "shut the window to the register and Anthony tried to open it again. [The witness] told me she observed one of the employees, who was later determined to be Sebastian, holding a handgun that was in his waistband. Lesdy looked down at her phone and heard the gunshot."
The witness says she looked up and saw Anthony fall, then both employees exited the food truck and called 911.
Upon arrival and initial investigation, officers learned that a male subject had arrived at the location with his girlfriend in a vehicle. Shortly thereafter, the male’s wife arrived and became upset upon discovering him with another woman. The wife began physically assaulting the girlfriend, who was seated in the passenger seat of the vehicle.
During the altercation, the girlfriend produced a firearm and attempted to strike the wife with it. In the process, the firearm discharged, resulting in the girlfriend sustaining a gunshot wound to the foot. The male subject subsequently fled the scene with the injured female and transported her to a local hospital. He then left the hospital and was later located by officers at another convenience store in south Brownwood.

Spartan Blades makes some really nice knives. Unfortunately, most of them are a little pricey for plebeians like me. But beginning in 2019, Spartan Blades was purchased by KA-BAR and expanded their product line to include the more affordable Field Grade models. Spartan Elite and Pro models are manufactured in the USA, but their Field Grade line is made in Taiwan. The intent is “to provide a dependable knife or tool for anyone regardless of budget.” The Talos Folding Knife is a good example of the Field Grade line. It has a 3.12 inch long, 0.12 inch thick, straight back …

Belle and I went today to see a play, a matinee, that supports our local theater group, the City Park Players. It was a lot of fun, and something to do on a Sunday afternoon.
If you have a local theater group, support them by buying a ticket from time to time.
I see that President Trump wants to bring back the firing squad in federal death sentence cases. I support that, but don't think it goes far enough. Bring back hanging, too. Some people aren't worth the powder it would take to shoot them. At least the rope cam be put to good use afterwards.
But that is just my opinion.
The White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting suspect wrote a "manifesto" that stated he planned to target Trump administration officials, "prioritized from highest-ranking to lowest," according to a copy obtained by CBS News.
Cole Allen, 31, wrote that law enforcement, hotel employees and guests weren't his intended targets Q2but that he would still attack them to get to the administration, adding: "I really hope it doesn't come to that."
As if going into an event secured by local police and Secret Service would not lead to this. It appears that his family were not crazy.
Law enforcement sources told CBS News that Allen's brother, alarmed by the email he and other family members received, called police in Connecticut to alert them Saturday night.
Other accounts of his manifesto are pedophile claims about Trump, claims that the journalists who dropping them know are bogus but it is politics as usual for the left until they get their way
Yesterday I received the Czech military suplus flap holster that I ordered from an eBay seller for the CZ-82 I picked up two Fridays ago. Like many older European military holsters, it's basically a gun case with belt loops. Unlike every other Euro flap holster, it's ambidextrous and doesn't look like a holster for a pistol. You could probably wear this on a trail where you're likely to encounter earthy-crunchy types and they'd be unaware you're armed.
The holster I got had some sports on it from either water or mildew. I gave it a rubdown with Ballistol to neutralize any mildew and further protect the leather. It's stamped 1989 on the inside, making it one year younger than my CZ-82.
The holster is well made of good quality leather with nice stitching.
With the flap open you can see how it accomodates the gun and a spare magazine. There is a sleeve on either side for a cleaning rod. I'm expecting one in the mail shortly.
The back has belt loops. This shows the stiching for the interior compartments that hold the muzzle end of the gun and the spare magazine. One could put a small oil bottle in between. I may put a small Ziplock back with a few patches wet with Ballistol in that space.
The Falco holster that came with the gun holds my Beretta 81 Cheetah perfectly, but this one won't accept the Cheetah. The Beretta's slide and dust cover are too tall near the muzzle. I'd expect a Makarov to fit fine.
However, the Czech holster does accept my Beretta 71 Jaguar .22 along with two spare magazines.
Now, this obviously is not something we'd want to use for normal CCW around town. However, I could see this being useful if you're carrying out in the wilderness where you want to protect the gun against the environment. That you can carry the gun, a reload, and basic cleaning gear in it is a nice bonus.
I was today years old when I learned about the theory that monster sixty-foot long octopuses might have been the apex predators of the Cretaceous oceans and I am absolutely creeped out by that.
Especially when you remember how smart octopodes are and compare that to the walnut-brained plesiosaurs and mosasaurs with which they shared the seas.
In the ongoing study of how effective handguns are when used as a defense against bears, there are over two hundred documented cases. Of those, 184 involve only handguns. The others are combination situations where other deadly force was used in addition to handguns. Of the 184 cases 161 include information about the number of shots fired. In 23 cases the number of shots is not known.
The data is likely skewed by unavoidable selection bias. The data is limited to cases which are documented. There is a strong selection bias against cases which do not involve dramatic outcomes or human injury, or which happen far from any civil authority. Those cases are not likely to be reported or recorded in a way which is accessible. Consider a hypothetical:
A bear acts aggressively toward a person who is hiking. Not wanting to kill the bear, for whatever reason, they fire a warning shot or shots. The bear runs off. There is very little drama, almost no news value, and virtually no reason to report the incident to any authority. There is a strong selection bias against successful uses of warning shots.
One way to guard against selection bias is to include every documented case where a handgun was fired in defense against a bear. This policy was formulated at the beginning of this study and is in effect.
Of the 161 cases where a handgun has been fired in defense against a bear or bears, and the number of shots is known or reasonably inferred, the distribution of the number of shots fired per case is as follows:
1 shot - 46 cases or 28.6% of the cases where the number of shots is known. 8 cases involved a warning shot. One of the warning shots killed a bear. In one case where one shot was fired, killing the bear, two warning shots were fired with a .22 rimfire rifle. Those shots were not effective. It was decided to include that case with other cases where only one shot was fired from a handgun. The other six warning shot cases were successful.
2 shots - 22 cases or 13.7%. There were 13 cases where warning shot(s) were fired. In seven cases, the warning shots were successful, at least temporarily. In eight cases, the warning shots were unsuccessful. There were three cases where the warning shots were both successful (temporarily) and unsuccessful. In one case it could not be determined if the the shots were effective in stopping the bear; in one case the warning shots were not effective, and no bear or human was injured. Because the warning shots were ineffective, the case, involving a .44 magnum and a polar bear is one of the four failures of the firing of a handgun in defense against a bear or bears.
3 shots - 19 cases or 11.8%. Warning shots were fired in 6 cases. The warning shots were successful in three cases and did not work in three cases. There was one failure, where three shots fired from a .357 magnum did not stop the attack by a grizzly bear. It is likely the bear was not hit.
4 shots - 13 cases or 8.1%. Two cases involved two handguns. Warning shots were fired in four cases. 1 warning shot worked for a while. Warning shot failed in all four cases.
5 shots - 16 cases or 9.9%. Warning shots were fired in four cases. The warning shots worked in two cases, one temporarily, and failed in three cases. There was one case where it could not be determined if the handgun shots stopped the attack, and 1 failure with a .38 caliber revolver and a black bear.
6 shots - 14 cases or 8.7%. Warning shots were fired in five cases. They worked in four cases and did not work in two cases. 1 warning shot worked temporarily. One case was a failure against a polar bear with a .22 rimfire handgun.
Six shots or fewer were fired in 80.1% of known documented cases. There have not been any documented failures were more than six shots were fired.
7 shots - 9 cases or 5.6%. Warning shots were fired in two cases. One worked, one did not work.
8 shots - 7 cases or 4.3%. One case involved two handguns. No cases where warning shots were fired.
9 shots - 3 cases or 1.9%. No cases involved warning shots.
10 shots - 5 cases or 3.1%. Warning shots fired in one case. The warning shots did not work.
12 shots - 2 cases or 1.2%, no warning shots fired.
15 shots - 1 case or .6%, no warning shots fired.
16 shots - 1 case, no warning shots, two handguns involved.
18 shots - 1 case, no warning shots fired.
19 shots - 1 case, no warning shots, three handguns involved.
21 shots - 1 case, no warning shots, three handguns involved.
31 shots - 1 case, no warning shots, two handguns involved.
There were no cases involving 11 shots, 13, 14, 17, 20, 22-30 shots ,or more than 31 shots in the cases documented as of this writing.
There were 23 cases where the number of shots was not reported. Two of those cases involved two handguns. Four involved warning shots. 1 warning shot worked, two did not work, the effect of the warning shot(s) was unknown in one case.

During and after the American revolution, there was no registration of firearms in the colonies which were to become the United States. There is good evidence handguns were commonly owned during this period. One of the primary sources comes from records during the occupation of Boston by General Gage before and after the battles of Lexington and Concord. The history of these engagements were meticulously recorded by Richard Frothingham in the History of the Siege of Boston, published in 1873. Frothingham uses original sources, particularly of the Boston Town Meeting Minutes of 22-28 April, 1775, for the numbers of weapons.
After the disastrous battles at Lexington and Concord, which are considered the start of the American revolution, General Gage was besieged in Boston. There were about 5,000 inhabitants in the city. Food was running short in Boston. Many people wished to leave. General Gage made a deal with the Selectmen. People could leave the city *if* the inhabitants surrendered their weapons to the town council. They were to identify themselves so the weapons could be returned later. People leaving the city were thoroughly searched. Even small amounts of food, such as a loaf of bread, were confiscated. It would have been difficult to smuggle out even handguns. It is possible some weapons might have been left hidden in the city.
Page 94 from image 118 Frothingham image
The agreement was for "the inhabitants in general", so it was to encompass all the inhabitants, who were not under the control of General Gage. We have the number of the arms which were turned in.
From Frothingham image 119, page 95.
The total number of firearms were 1778 fire-arms plus 634 pistols and 38 blunder-busses or 2,450 total, about one for every two inhabitants. Pistols were almost 26% of the total. This is obviously common, about one for every eight people. All firearms were more expensive in relative terms than they are in the United States in the twenty-first century. The cost of a pistol in 1776 is difficult to find, with the suggestion common flintlock pistols were about 1.7 British lbs, or roughly two weeks of skilled labor. When the American dollar came into being there were 20 dollars per ounce of gold and 4.25 British lbs per ounce of gold, or about 8 silver dollars per flintlock pistol. The term "buck" came from one deerskin being worth about 1 dollar. There are about 540 million privately owned firearms for about 340 million people in the USA, or about 1.6 firearms for every person. It is likely firearms were more common in rural areas and on the frontier. An analysis of Plymouth Colony probate inventories during the 1670s showed 13% of the firearms were pistols.
Analysis: It is the experience of this correspondent that firearms, especially handguns, are often taken from an estate before probate, by members of the family. They are frequently given to heirs before death. The numbers from probate records are very likely considerably lower than numbers owned by the population. The records from the siege of Boston and the probate records show concealable firearms were commonly owned during the immediate period leading up to the ratification of the Constitution. Handguns were not considered "dangerous and unusual weapons". As noted previously, concealed weapons, of which handguns are only one type, were common in the colonies and the early Republic.

The injured suspect was transported by Memphis Fire Department to Regional One in critical condition.
Officers also spoke with the injured suspect’s girlfriend, who said her boyfriend was pumping gas when he began arguing with about 5 men. One of the men said he was going to get his gun and started shooting.
Officers spoke with the owner of the tire shop, who said that approximately 2 shots were fired from the gas station parking lot and that a customer got out of his vehicle and returned fire.
According to the Medford Police Department, officers responded around 4:55 a.m. to a report of a person in mental distress. A caller reported that a neighbor in an adjacent apartment was screaming and behaving erratically.
While officers were heading to the scene, they learned the person was trying to break into a neighboring apartment using an axe. The person inside that apartment fired a gun, hitting the man.
Mission control, to everyone’s relief, ordered them to come home early. They buttoned up Salyut and climbed into the Soyuz, wearing only their leisure suits. Which became a problem when they prepared to disengage and a warning light began to blink. Sounding nearly hysterical at this point, Volkov shouted at ground control, “The hatch isn’t pressurized! What should we do? What should we do?” Obviously they couldn’t disengage if the hatch wasn’t completely sealed, unless they were in their spacesuits and helmets. They tried various procedures suggested by the techies on the ground. Nothing worked.
Ground control finally advised them to tape a piece of paper over the warning light and proceed. Read that sentence again. Nothing shouts “Soviet space program!” like that single sentence.

U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is facing fresh accusations after Republicans flagged her reported push to direct more than $1 million in federal taxpayer funds to a small Somali-led nonprofit whose listed project address matches a Minneapolis restaurant.
The nonprofit, Generation Hope MN, describes itself as providing addiction recovery services, peer support, job training, and mental health support for the East African community. The address tied to Omar’s earmark request - 326 Cedar Ave S / 411 Cedar Ave S - matches Sagal Restaurant and Coffee, a Somali eatery. Conservative investigator Angela Rose documented the site in a video, using Google Street View archives and on-site footage to show minimal or no clinic signage over years, with the building primarily operating as a restaurant. The owner has confirmed Generation Hope uses upstairs space in the multi-tenant property, but critics highlighted the optics amid Minnesota’s fraud history. ..
Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) and other Republicans flagged multiple concerns: the restaurant address, three directors listing the same residential home address in filings, and the organization’s limited demonstrated capacity for large-scale treatment services. House Republicans stripped the earmark from a FY2026 spending package in January 2026. GOP senators later requested a formal DOJ fraud investigation into Generation Hope MN.
I wonder hown much of that million plus was going into Rep. Omar's pocket. 4/18/26 New York Post:
Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar blamed an accounting “discrepancy” for errors in a financial disclosure that listed her net worth at up to $30 million – while doubling down that she is not a millionaire, a report said.
She says it is more like $95,000. I have a pretty clear picture of my net wealth. I would never accidentally misstate my net wealth as $50 million.
A petition launched by a freshman at Harvard University argues that campus leaders’ efforts to reform grade inflation at the Ivy League institution is racist.
The lobbying comes as a Harvard faculty consider capping the number of A grades they give out in each class. That proposal came after a report published last fall found that 60 percent of all undergraduate grades are now As.
The petition calls on Harvard to reject the proposed reforms, arguing they are “flawed” and “racially harmful in effect.”
“We center racism as a core concern, contending that although the policy is framed as neutral ‘differentiation,’ it functions as a system of ranking and sorting that mirrors and reinforces existing racial and socioeconomic hierarchies,” the petition states.
Yes, this guy is arguing that BiPOCs can't make it without grade inflation. In 1955, you could find Americans who believed that blacks lacked the intelligence to compete with whites. In the 19th century, even many abolitionists supported returning blacks to Africa (one that most had never seen) because they were thought unlikely to be able to compete on equal basis with whites.
Now, if this student wanted to argue that kids coming from poverty were going to have trouble competing, that might be an interesting argument, but not every BiPOC is coming from poverty and there are white Harvard students who also come from poverty and underprivileged backgrounds. (At least I hope so; there are plenty of J.D. Vances out there.) But no, this/student is playing the white supremacist tune, saying every black is inferior.

A Virginia state senator told colleagues he understands rural America because he grew up watching “The Dukes of Hazzard.”
Democratic state Sen. Lamont Bagby made the claim during a floor debate on the state’s gerrymandering amendment, according to video posted by WJLA reporter Nick Minock. Bagby pushed back on Republicans who argued Democrats have no grasp of rural life.
“I grew up watching the Waltons. I grew up with Opie. I even watched the Dukes of Hazzard. I think I know a little bit about rural America,” Bagby said, apparently referencing “The Waltons” and “The Andy Griffith Show” alongside the hit CBS series. He then rattled off characters from urban-set sitcoms to argue he fights for all Virginians. “I’m not just here for Theo. I’m not just here for Arnold or Willis. I’m here for Opie, John Boy.
