Toledo ex-lawyer convicted of attempted murder after gun threat at restaurant

A former attorney, Matthew Exton, 43, was convicted in Lucas County on charges of attempted murder and two counts of felonious assault for pulling a Colt Defender on his ex-wife at Sabira restaurant in downtown Toledo on April 11, 2025. Prosecutors said Exton intended a public execution; the weapon misfired when its safety was on and a waiter tackled him. Exton testified about his divorce and past as a lawyer, but he was acquitted on one assault count; sentencing is scheduled for later this month.

Downtown Minneapolis shooting leaves three dead as investigators probe suspect's past

Three people were killed in a downtown Minneapolis shooting as investigators probe the incident. Court documents indicate the suspect, Johnson, had a history including eviction threats and prior encounters with police over a weapon, though charges were not filed in that earlier case due to insufficient evidence and an emergency removal order wasn’t pursued. A restraining order from a different relationship existed, and police defended their response as more information emerged. Witnesses described a chaotic scene as shots rang out, with AP reporters contributing to the coverage.

Unattended ICE Gun Found in SFO Bathroom Sparking Airport Security Questions

A flight attendant found an unattended handgun belonging to an ICE agent in a public men's restroom beyond security at San Francisco International Airport’s Terminal 2.

The airport notified TSA for potential follow-up. NBC Bay Area notes this incident comes amid multiple ICE arrests at SFO in recent months, with the airport saying it does not control DHS/ICE operations and that three such arrests have occurred since March.

Hitler’s $42M Luger Sparks High-Stakes Argentine Court Battle

Hitler’s $42M Luger Sparks High-Stakes Argentine Court Battle

An Argentine civil court is weighing compensation for appliance repairman Juan Pablo Ruppel after his home-raided Luger Parabellum No.5—believed to have belonged to Adolf Hitler and described as the “holy grail” of firearms—vanished while in police custody in 2016. The state was ruled liable for about $15,000 plus interest, while an independent expert later valued the pistol at roughly $42 million. Two officers who led the raid face criminal theft charges, and the case hinges on provenance linked to Ruppel’s great-uncle Hans Ruppel, Hitler’s bodyguard, who reportedly brought the gun to Argentina in 1948. The saga continues as Ruppel seeks full compensation and authorities pursue the weapon’s recovery.

Arizona man crushed by giant saguaro after shooting it in 1982

In 1982 near Lake Pleasant, Arizona, 27-year-old David Grundman shot a 27-foot saguaro with a shotgun; a roughly 23-foot section of the cactus toppled onto him, crushing him to death. Some accounts differ on whether an arm broke off or the central column collapsed. There’s no known video of the incident, and the piece ends with a tongue-in-cheek remark about the Second Amendment not guaranteeing victory in a fight.

Southwest Bexar County Couple Found Dead in Suspected Murder-Suicide

A daughter found Ana Laura Rennie, 55, and Robert James Rennie, 58, dead in a southwest Bexar County home; the sheriff says Ana Rennie was killed (homicide) and Robert Rennie died by suicide after a handgun was recovered at the scene. A bullet reportedly left the house and struck a nearby residence. Authorities believe a domestic-violence history existed between the couple, and this incident is part of a rising DV-related homicide trend for the sheriff’s office this year. A prior misdemeanor DV case was dismissed due to a missing witness. Resources for domestic violence and mental health support are available to those in need.
