Upon arrival, officers from the South Central Area Command were directed to an apartment, where they found a man with an apparent gunshot wound.
Police rendered aid until paramedics arrived. The injured man was transported to Sunrise Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
According to LVMPD, the homeowner told investigators that a man entered his apartment uninvited and unannounced, which led to a physical altercation.
“A physical altercation ensued,” said Lt. Robert Price of LVMPD’s Homicide Section. “The homeowner produced a firearm and shot that individual.”

Timelines Given As we listen to all the chatter, day in and day out about a widening war in Europe and war with China, we can see some recurring messages in the reporting.

Bella Coola Elementary School shown in Bella Coola satellite image from Google Maps
On November 20, 2025, a bit before 2 p.m., a group of elementary school children were attacked by a grizzly bear, not far from their school. At least two adult men were with the children. It appears they and two others, including at least one child, were severely injured during the attack. At least one of the men is reported to have been severely injured while fight the bear and protecting the children. Two of the victims were listed in critical condition, two others were listed as serious, and seven others were treated at the scene with less serious injuries.
Emergency Health Services spokesman Brian Twaites said in a statement that the attack happened on a trail near Highway 20, and two ambulances and a community paramedic responded.
“Paramedics provided emergency medical treatment to four patients and transported them to hospital. Two patients were in critical condition and two were in serious condition,” he said.
The attack is said to have occurred on a trail near Highway 20 and the Four Mile residential development in Bella Coola, British Columbia, Canada. The Acwsalcta elementary school is located about two blocks from the highway, inside the Four Mile subdivision. Dense woods are across Labouchere Avenue from the elementary school between Highway 20 and the Bella Coola River. Here is a description of the Four Mile Subdivision:
Four Mile Subdivision is located at Bella Coola British Columbia. It is part of the Bella Coola Region and consists of much the same regional terrain and wilderness surroundings. The majority of the population there is also the Nuxalk Tribal Band. This area is more of the residential part of Bella Coola with more sightings of the Sasquatch and other Mysterious Creatures that inhabit the region. Four Mile Subdivision is located on the east side of Bella Coola. Four Mile Subdivision also has a school within and a sand and gravel pit.
One of the defenders is one of the victims in critical condition. A facebook post from Shani Hance named two defenders as relatives, cousins Russell and Nick. One mother of a child involved in the incident, Veronica Schooner, writes that bear spray was used.
Schooner said her son and other pupils had been hit with bear spray as the teachers fought off the bear.
As this is Canada, none of the defenders had a firearm. Canadian regulations make it very difficult for most people to possess the most effective defense against bear attack, handguns. Handguns tend to be more effective than long guns, because it is easier to keep a handgun on the person, and under control during a bear attack.
The bear is reported to be "on the loose". Authorities are asking people to stay inside. One poster on facebook states this has been a bad year for bears, with bears breaking into houses, and more bears than usual being seen. From Michelle Fawcett on facebook:
There is a lot of unusual grizzly activity in the valley this year, like house break ins and higher grizzly population in general. And now this attack. So very tragic.
British Columbia banned most grizzly bear hunting in December of 2017. Many predicted the number of bear attacks would increase because grizzly bears would become less fearful of humans. The Bella Coola valley has a very high concentration of grizzly bears.
The monetary support for banning the hunting of grizzly bears came mostly from Nature United, a radical deep green organization. It is an affiliate of the Nature Conservancy.
James Shelton avidly studied bear attacks in the area and wrote several books about the subject. He predicted bear attacks would increase when hunting pressure was reduced.
This article has relied on early reporting from several sources including the Canadian Press and Facebook. More details well come to light as an investigation is done.
Analysis: The people who live in Bella Coola tend to be hunters by tradition and inclination. They have lived with grizzly bears a long time. They know the best way to avoid conflict with grizzly bears is kill the bears who become too familiar with humans. This teaches the surviving bears to avoid humans. When the scent of humans becomes associated with the remains of dead bears, bears learn humans are dangerous. As bears cause more and more problems in Bella Coola, expect more and more bears to be killed in unsanctioned ways. Nearly any projectile which penetrates a bear's abdominal or thoracic cavity will cause death. The difference is whether it happens in minutes or days.

Atlanta Police say they responded to the call for the 15 year-old who was shot at the same time a call about a robbery came in nearby.
The 15-year-old died at the scene. Investigators say they believe he was attempting to rob a man when the man shot him.
Witnesses said they were there as police found a weapon on the teen’s body.
“The police did pull off a gun from him,” one witness said.
Police have not released the victim’s name.
It’s not clear if that shooter will face charges. Police continue to look for evidence.
A 72-year-old man is dead after a shooting on Burrell Street in Birmingham.
The Birmingham Police Department says Eddie Jemison was found in the road just before 6:30 p.m. on December 16, 2025. Jemison was taken to UAB Hospital where he was pronounced deceased.
Police say Jemison and another man had been in an argument before the shooting. The suspect remained at the scene and is being held on a 48-hour felony extension at the Birmingham City Jail.

(Continued from Part 1.) Defense Production Act The Defense Production Act was passed in 1950. It is an important piece of legislation that we should all know about. Why? Before the bombing of Pearl Harbor part of Congress (GOP) was advocating an isolationist stance regarding the war in Europe. Since Congress controls the budget, it made providing military aid to our Allies extremely hard. The Defense Production Act aimed at making it easier for a U.S. president to prepare the U.S. for war without “permission” from Congress. One key part of the act is the ability of the president to …

The post The Editors’ Quote Of The Day: appeared first on SurvivalBlog.com.
Australian Police officer near tree, shortly before he takes out the terrorist. The distance is 130 feet, 43 yards. It appears closer because of camera distance and angle.
More details are emerging from the chaos of the Jihadi terrorist attack on Bondi beach. A video from Australian Broadcasting Corporation gives some of the details. In 5 minutes and 52 seconds, 103 gunshots were fired. Time sense during life and death situations often stretches out, because the mind speeds up. The phenomena is called tachypsychia . At about 1.5 minutes into the event, the older terrorist is disarmed. By 3.5 minutes, he is back at the footbridge, shooting back toward the area where he was disarmed. At 3.5 minutes, the terrorists are taking incoming fire and ducking for cover as rounds impact nearby. At about 4 minutes, the police officer can be seen approaching the younger terrorist from behind, as discussed in the previous article.
A source from Australia, who has been very reliable, says he has seen video, not released to the public, which shows the officer, who took cover behind the tree, is the officer whose shot disabled the younger terrorist. Recent updates show it is likely the same officer killed the older terrorist less than a minute earlier. The source said he estimated the distance to be 40 meters or 130 feet. With that information and Google Maps, this correspondent was able to estimate the direction of the officer from the footbridge and make a good guess as to which tree the officer was behind. The distance to the terrorist position was measured at 130 feet!
The Google Maps satellite view also showed the distance from the position of the older terrorist when he rearmed and started firing again, to where the disarm occurred. It was 50 yards, or 150 feet.
The location of the disarm is distinguished by the palm tree and the picnic table. 50 yards is a plausible shot for buckshot. After the older terrorist had rearmed, he was observed shooting in the direction of the disarm at the palm tree. He takes careful aim with a red dot sight. It seems likely he was the one who wounded Ahmed Fatih Al Ahmed, the hero who had disarmed him a couple of minuets previously.
The person who threw a bottle at the older terrorist as he retreated and attempted to get the shotgun to work has been identified as Reuven Morrison, a Soviet born Jew, 62 years old. He was wounded as he attempted to bring the terrorist shotgun into play. He was wounded alongside Ahmed Fatih Al Ahmed. Reuven died at the hospital. It has been reported the shotgun had jammed during the disarm.
Ahmed Fatih Al Ahmed has been reliably identified as a Muslim immigrant from Syria. There are Maronite Christians from Lebanon in Sidney with a similar name. They have clarified a member of their family was not the person who did the disarm.
43 yards is a respectable pistol shot, even from the supported barricade position the officer had at the tree. Not all defensive situations are at close range. Eli Dicken fired 10 shots from 40 yards at the mass murderer in the Greenwood Mall in Indianapolis on July 17, 2022. He hit the killer with eight of ten shots. Vic Stacy fired his six inch Colt Python from 56 yards to take down Charles Conner, who had killed two people and was firing at a Texas Deputy at the Peach House RV park near Early Texas on July 29, 2012. The Python has a reputation for superb accuracy. Stacy believes he hit Conner four times, three after he fell down. Both Eli Dicken and Vic Stacy were recognized for their brave and effective actions.
Long distance precision pistol shooting is not common in defensive situations. As the three incidents show, it happens. Typical Glock handguns are capable of shooting 2.5 inch groups at 25 yards, or 10 inch groups at a hundred yards. Most handgunners have a difficult time shooting that well. It can be done with a supported position. Such precise shooting is much easier with optical sights, such as the now common reflex or red dot sights. With a Veridian green dot sight on a KelTec PR57, this correspondent was able to keep five shots inside 9.5 inches, centered, on a 100 yard target from a hasty rest. Shots were fired at about three seconds intervals.
Dedicated target pistols are capable of 1 inch groups at 25 yards. Most people do not carry target grade handguns as everyday carry. A close friend who has participated in numerous pistol competitions and Camp Perry rifle events has told me he can engage man sized targets at 200 yards with a target grade Glock 10mm and red dot sight. He says hits are not difficult with the red dot, as the necessary hold over does not obscure the target. This correspondent has not discovered any documented defensive situations where a pistol was used at over 125 yards.

Gun Watch
This looks like a number from The Andy Williams Show, maybe late 1960s. We all watched this back then.
Police said the sequence of events started bout 10:40 p.m. Monday when a patio door and back door of a home in the 1300 block of Speight Avenue were kicked. An arrest affidavit filed in the case stated the homeowner in fear for his life fired five or six shots at the door that had been kicked open, striking the man trying to enter in his left forearm.
Witnesses reported seeing a white Dodge Charger circling the area before the incident, then after the shots were fired reported seeing a man run to the car as it drove off. Police reported all of this activity was caught on security cameras.
About forty minutes later police were called to Scott & White Hillcrest hospital on a report of a man coming in with a gunshot wound.
As officers worked the two incidents, the wounded man was identified as a suspect in the burglary. An arrest affidavit stated that a shoe impression on the door that had been kicked in matched the suspects shoe sole, with the design and pattern a match. They also reported matches from security cameras of clothing and shoes worn by the suspect .
When officers arrived, they found a 31-year-old man suffering from a gunshot wound. Police identified the victim as Avery Lewis.
Investigators said Lewis jumped into a parked delivery truck in a threatening manner. As a result, the driver, Robin Volson, fired a handgun in self-defense.
After firing the weapon, Volson immediately contacted Alexandria Police to report the incident. Officers then secured the scene and began their investigation.
Lewis sustained moderate injuries. Emergency responders transported him to a local hospital for treatment.
Police later determined the incident may connect to a prior shooting on November 8, 2025. That earlier incident occurred in the 1800 block of Henry Street.
The Henry Street case involved a home invasion investigated by the Rapides Parish Sheriff’s Office. During that incident, Volson shot and killed the intruder, Devante Thomas.

We are swimming in reports of how badly the Republicans are going to do in next year's election (no links because I'm lazy but these are a dime a dozen if you look). I disagree.
In general, mid-term elections favor the party out of power. This is true so often that it is almost considered a law of nature, particularly during a President's second term. What you don't ever see is anyone ask why do voters reject the party in power in the mid-terms? There's quite a simple answer.
Fatigue.
The voters have had some time to get used to the Administration and starts to tire of the typical amount of scandal, incompetence, and general dum-assery that any administration accumulates.
That's not at all what we see today. The main focus of the Trump 47 administration has been border security, deporting criminal illegal aliens, economic growth, and lower inflation. There are remarkable results for all of these, despite the legacy media's frantic efforts to hide them.
Each of these are 80% issues - i.e. the issues all get 80% support in polls.
I would go so far as to say that the voter fatigue is on the other foot. It's the Democrats who spent the last four years stumbling through a morass of dumb-assery. And who are all on the 20% end of the issues that voters care about.
Voters have short memories but remember that Trump has only been back in office for 11 months and has remarkable achievements - achievements that for the previous four years the legacy media said were impossible to achieve.
The polls for the Democrats are a dumpster fire. There's a reason for this. Action, reaction.
What is particularly ironic is that now it's basically proved that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump. If the Democrats in Fulton County hadn't done this, Trump 46 would have bumbled through a second term with his appointees working with the Deep State to undercut him - just like his 47 term. Instead, they gave him four years to plan this remarkable turnaround.
Sure, he still grates on a lot of people, but at the end of the day most voters will go with what's working for them. They got plenty of pretty promises from Biden, promises that never panned out.
Donald Trump has an ability to reverse the laws of gravity, and mid-term voter fatigue will be just another example of this.

A man suspected of carrying out a pair of deadly attacks — one at Brown University that killed two students and wounded nine more, and another that killed a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor in his home — was found dead in a storage unit in New Hampshire on Thursday, the authorities said.BuT tHe iNtErNeT sWoRe hE'D yElLeD "aLoHa sNaCkBaR". *rolleyes*
The suspect’s death, which the police said was from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, ended a five-day search that began on Brown’s campus in Providence, R.I. The case both captivated and rattled New England as investigators pieced together grainy surveillance footage and feared another burst of violence. The search stretched across state lines and ultimately hinged on witness interviews in Providence — including a Reddit user — along with records from a car-rental agency in Boston and a search warrant in Salem, N.H.
“Nothing can really fully bring closure to the lives that have been shattered over the past week, but this may allow our community to move forward,” Christina H. Paxson, Brown’s president, said at a news conference on Thursday night in Providence.

If you ask most Americans when World War Two started and you’ll probably get December 7, 1941, when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, as an answer. Another response might be September 1, 1939, when Nazi Germany invaded Poland. These dates are significant, in that these are when open and sustained military operations commenced, but they definitely were not the start of the war. It would be ignorant to think that Germany just up and decided to invade Poland, or Japan bomb Pearl Harbor, out of the blue on these dates.

The first 20 years of my career, I was based in Natchitoches, LA. Natchitoches is the home of Northwestern State University, a state college that, at that time, educated approximately 5000 students.
