Former Ohio Attorney Convicted of Attempted Murder After Restaurant Gun Threat on Ex-Wife

Matthew Exton, a 43-year-old former attorney, was convicted of attempted murder and two counts of felonious assault for pointing a loaded handgun at his ex-wife, Kada Malone, in a Toledo restaurant. The incident occurred on April 11, 2025, when Exton entered Sabira restaurant, where Malone was dining with her parents, and pulled a gun at point-blank range. The weapon failed to fire because the safety was engaged, and a waiter tackled Exton before he could attempt another shot. A jury found him guilty on September 4, 2026, after prosecutors argued he intended to commit a 'public execution.' Exton, who also served as a local prosecutor, is scheduled for sentencing on September 21, 2026.

Perseids Set to Illuminate the Night Sky Before Dawn Thursday

The Perseid meteor shower peaks overnight into early Thursday morning, with the best viewing after midnight through dawn on Aug. 13 under a new moon that won’t wash out the sky. Observers in dark, rural areas could see up to 50 meteors per hour as debris from Comet Swift–Tuttle burns up in Earth’s atmosphere; the meteors radiate from the Perseus constellation and travel about 37 miles per second, often showing colored trails that reveal the meteors’ composition (red from nitrogen/oxygen, orange from sodium, yellow from iron, green from magnesium, blue from magnesium/calcium, and purple from calcium/nitrogen). If you miss the peak, glimpses may continue through Aug. 24.**
