A shocking family shooting has pulled Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy away from training camp. Bieniemy’s wife, Mia, was shot multiple times Sunday night inside the family’s home in Ashburn, Virginia. She survived and was hospitalized in stable condition. Police say the suspect is the couple’s own 27-year-old son. Elijah Zion Bieniemy was arrested and charged with malicious wounding, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and discharging a firearm inside a dwelling. A USA Today NFL reporter noted that the charges carry potentially severe prison time: If convicted on all three charges as filed, Bieniemy faces a minimum of 10 years and a maximum of 33 years in prison. He remains in custody, according to public court records, and a preliminary hearing is scheduled for Aug. 31. https://t.co/lYmtxt2OHz — Arye Pulli (@AryePulliNFL) July 27, 2026 ESPN reports that Loudoun County deputies responded to a home in the 20000 block of Northpark Drive at 7:32 p.m. Sunday after receiving a report of a shooting. Authorities found a woman suffering from serious injuries caused by multiple gunshot wounds. Sources identified the victim as 57-year-old Mia Bieniemy and said she had been shot in the chest and arm. Elijah Bieniemy is being held without bond at a Loudoun County detention center. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for August 31. Eric Bieniemy had been in St. Joseph, Missouri, with the Chiefs earlier Sunday for the team’s second training-camp practice. He left camp after the shooting and was not at Monday’s practice. The Chiefs said the organization was aware of the incident involving Bieniemy’s family but did not release additional details. Bieniemy returned to Kansas City earlier this year for a second stint as offensive coordinator. He previously held the job from 2018 through 2022, helping lead the Chiefs to two Super Bowl victories before coaching with the Washington Commanders and UCLA. This is a nightmare no husband or father should ever face. Mia Bieniemy is alive, but her family has been shattered by violence inside the place where they should have been safest. Prayers for Mia’s recovery — and for everyone now living through the terrible aftermath of this shooting. This is a Guest Post from our friends over at WLTReport. View the original article here.

CBS News is facing another credibility crisis, and this time the allegations are coming from inside the house. Former 60 Minutes correspondent Cecilia Vega says executives pressured her team to put politically loaded material into reports even when the journalists could not verify that it had happened. One alleged request was so detached from the available evidence that Vega’s answer was blunt: “That never happened.” The story exploded across X on Monday morning: That viral summary captures the shock of Vega’s charge, but the details are even more revealing. Vega Names The Scenes Her Team Could Not Find Vega made the allegations during a July 23 onstage interview with ABC News journalist John Quiñones at the National Association of Hispanic Journalists conference in New Orleans. The National Association of Hispanic Journalists scheduled the hourlong conversation for the evening of July 23 at its annual conference in New Orleans. Its program said Quiñones would question Vega about her departure from CBS, what comes next, and the challenge of producing consequential journalism in a hostile media climate. NAHJ identified Vega as the first Latina correspondent in the history of 60 Minutes and the inaugural recipient of Excelencia’s National Latina Journalist of the Year award. More than 1,000 journalists, students, and media leaders were expected at the four-day gathering. Vega had been fired from 60 Minutes in May, before her contract was due to expire. She told the New Orleans audience she still had not been given a reason. A journalist at the conference captured the moment as Vega discussed her abrupt exit: According to The Daily Beast, Vega described three instances in which she believed CBS management tried to steer her reporting. The most serious involved a 60 Minutes segment about federal immigration operations and the fatal shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minnesota. Vega said executives wanted footage showing protesters violently attacking people they believed were undercover ICE officers. Her team searched for it, she said, but found no credible examples that matched the request. Management also allegedly wanted a moment in which Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey told local police to confront federal agents while the city’s police chief rolled his eyes. Vega said her team reviewed every frame of the relevant press conference and could not find the exchange. “We could not find any instance of the mayor saying something like that,” Vega said. This goes far beyond an argument over adjectives, tone, or how many seconds a clip should run. If Vega’s account is accurate, executives were asking a reporting team to locate scenes that the evidence did not support. Two More Alleged Attempts To Shape The Story The Minnesota segment was not the only example Vega offered. The Independent reported that Vega was asked to open a segment about the war with Iran by declaring that Iran was “totally outgunned” by the United States and Israel. She characterized the proposed line as an administration talking point rather than a conclusion her reporting had established. Vega also said she faced questions about why a story on SNAP cuts and poverty in West Virginia did not include Vice President JD Vance or an expert on his memoir, Hillbilly Elegy. Her answer was straightforward: the book was published a decade earlier and centered heavily on Vance’s upbringing in Ohio, while her report was built around the voices of West Virginia residents. Vega said the disputed suggestions did not make it into her finished pieces. That distinction matters. Vega is not accusing 60 Minutes of airing all of the disputed material as fact. She is accusing newsroom leaders of pushing reporting teams toward claims and frames that the journalists themselves did not believe the evidence justified. CBS Disputes Vega’s Account CBS has not accepted Vega’s version of events. The Guardian reported that CBS did not immediately respond to its request for comment on the conference remarks. When Vega first accused the network of censorship and political interference after her firing in May, a CBS spokesperson said her claims were “not based in reality.” A network official later told the Independent that none of the examples Vega described appeared in published material. The disputed scenes were absent from the broadcast, leaving unresolved whether executives made the requests during the editorial process. The cleanest way for CBS to settle that question would be transparency: release the relevant screening notes, editorial messages, and source requests with necessary protections for confidential reporting. What are your thoughts? TAP HERE TO ADD YOUR VOTE The Timing Could Not Be Worse For 60 Minutes The flagship program was already under a microscope over its editing standards. In July 2025, CBS News confirmed that parent company Paramount agreed to a $16 million settlement with President Trump over the editing of a 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris. President Trump alleged the program deceptively presented different portions of Harris’s answer about Israel; Paramount settled without an apology or admission of wrongdoing. Whatever one thinks of that lawsuit, a news organization cannot survive repeated doubts about whether its editing process serves the facts or a preferred narrative. Vega’s allegations do not prove themselves. She is a recently fired employee speaking about internal conversations, and CBS has denied her broader claims. But she offered specific examples that can be checked. Those examples deserve more than a blanket denial. For a program that built its reputation on exposing powerful institutions, 60 Minutes now has a simple assignment: show the evidence and let the public see what happened inside its own newsroom.

Cracker Barrel just made the leadership move many of its longtime customers saw coming. Julie Felss Masino is stepping down as chief executive after nearly three years at the helm and one year after the restaurant chain’s disastrous modernization push became a national punchline. The company is bringing in an experienced restaurant operator to take over. The timing speaks for itself, even if Cracker Barrel’s formal announcement uses the polished language of corporate succession. Polymarket captured the breaking development shortly after it became public: The company’s filing with the SEC and its formal announcement from Cracker Barrel put the transition dates and terms in black and white. Masino will step down as CEO and resign from the board on August 10. She will remain an employee in an advisory capacity through October 9 to help with the transition, and the filing says her board resignation is not the result of a disagreement with the company. David Deno will become CEO and join the board on the same August date. Deno, 69, led Bloomin’ Brands from 2019 to 2024 after serving as that company’s chief financial and administrative officer. His resume also includes senior operating and financial roles at Yum Brands, Pizza Hut, Best Buy, and Burger King. He currently sits on the boards of Krispy Kreme and Panera Brands, giving Cracker Barrel a veteran operator with more than four decades in restaurants and retail. Cracker Barrel says the board selected Deno after a comprehensive search process. Its filing presents the change as succession planning and says Masino’s board resignation did not stem from a disagreement. The spectacular brand revolt still defined the final year of Masino’s tenure and now forms the unavoidable backdrop to the leadership change. The company tried to replace its familiar Old Timer logo with a stripped-down wordmark. It also tested brighter, less cluttered dining rooms that removed some of the antiques and Americana customers associated with the chain. Masino insisted at the time that customers were embracing the changes. This clip, now circulating again, shows just how confidently she defended the plan: An interview from ABC News, a year-end report from Cracker Barrel, and the official presidential record preserved by GovInfo show how quickly that confidence collided with reality. Masino told ABC that feedback on the redesign had been overwhelmingly positive and that people liked what Cracker Barrel was doing. The public response told a different story as longtime customers objected to the loss of Uncle Herschel and the chain’s country-store identity. Cracker Barrel reversed the logo change, restored the Old Timer, and paused its restaurant remodels. The company’s year-end report acknowledged that it had listened to its guests and was putting a renewed emphasis on the food and familiar experience customers expected. President Trump congratulated the chain after it brought the old logo back and urged it to make its customers happy again. That was the heart of the entire revolt: loyal customers did not ask Cracker Barrel to become a sleek, generic restaurant brand. The numbers add another layer to the story. Cracker Barrel reported its fiscal third-quarter results in June and followed them with another Cracker Barrel update showing a company still trying to steady its core business while reshaping its balance sheet. For the quarter that ended May 1, total revenue fell 2.9 percent from the prior year to $797.4 million. Comparable restaurant sales were down 2.6 percent, comparable retail sales fell 1.8 percent, and adjusted EBITDA declined from $48.1 million to $40.3 million. Through the first eleven weeks of the following quarter, comparable restaurant sales were still down approximately 2.5 percent, although comparable retail sales improved by roughly 0.5 percent. At the same time, the company raised its profitability outlook, complicating any one-line diagnosis of the business. Cracker Barrel also completed a sale-leaseback of 26 stores that generated about $77 million for debt reduction. It sold most of Maple Street Biscuit Company and said the remaining 16 locations would close, sharpening the focus on the original Cracker Barrel brand. Deno is inheriting an American institution with roughly 660 locations and an identity no consultant had the right to treat as disposable. Modernizing a business is not the problem. Forgetting why customers loved it in the first place is. Cracker Barrel’s customers gave management an unmistakable answer on the logo, the decor, and the brand’s heritage. The company reversed course, abandoned much of the makeover, and has now chosen a new leader. The Old Timer survived. The strategy did not. This is a Guest Post from our friends over at WLTReport.

This is the definition of crazy. A video that has gone viral on social media shows two men hopping over the glass safety wall at the iconic Space Needle in Seattle and proceeding to BASE  jump off of it. The men initially spooked tourists after they exited the bathroom with their parachute equipment and helmets on. After getting on the edge of the Space Needle both men jumped and safely deployed their parachutes. KOMO News provided further details on the base jumper’s daring stunt and revealed authorities are still searching for them: Two men climbed over glass barriers and jumped from the Space Needle on Friday evening in an incident captured in numerous videos shared on social media. The BASE jump was reported to Seattle police (SPD) at around 9:21 p.m. Officers arrived and contacted two Space Needle security guards. The guards explained that at about 8:50 p.m. the two suspects entered the Space Needle with purchased tickets that were scanned at the front entrance. Later, both suspects were seen on camera at the top level for viewing, standing around possibly scouting, Seattle police said. The suspects entered the restroom and came out with their helmets on, according to SPD. Jacob Jarreau was with a friend waiting in line for the bathroom when the two men came out. “These two guys burst out of the bathroom, scared the h– out of everybody,” Jarreau said. “For the first two seconds, we didn’t really know what the heck was going on, so everybody was scared.” “I was like, what the heck is going on, why are you pushing past me and my kid?” Bri Ramos, who also witnessed the stunt, said. “They were running towards the glass, and they jumped up; that’s when Jacob was like, ‘They’re climbing up, they’re climbing up.’” Both suspects then approached the glass window facing northbound, with Lake Union in the background; the two men then ran and jumped over to the opposite side of the glass. Both did a backflip off the platform before successfully deploying their parachutes. Space Needle security officers were uncertain of the location where they landed. “The first two seconds I was scared, I thought they were doing something bad, so I got a really big surge of adrenaline, and then as soon as I saw the parachute, two seconds I was like, oh my god they’re going to jump off,” Jarreau said. “It was illegal, that’s for sure. It was a pretty brazen act.” The two suspects were not found by officers, according to SPD. Watch the moment it happened here:   It was a hectic weekend at the Space Needle. In an unrelated incident, a gunman opened fire near the iconic tower and killed two people. KIRO 7 News reported more on the shooting: The Seattle Fire Department says two people are dead and five others are hurt, including a child, after a shooting at the Seattle Center near the Space Needle. Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson says that police have arrested at least one person. She released the following statement: “What happened at the Seattle Center today was an act of horrific violence. Impacted families are living through the worst moment of their lives, and an entire community is trying to understand how a gathering built around culture, connection, and joy ended in gunfire. No one should have to weigh the risk of being shot before attending an event, gathering with friends, or experiencing their city. Our first responsibilities are supporting grieving families, caring for the injured, and providing clear and accurate information for the public. I want to thank the Seattle police officers who responded to the scene and took a suspect into custody. I also want to recognize Seattle firefighters and medical personnel at Harborview who are treating the injured, as well as Seattle Center and event staff and bystanders who helped people reach safety and provided aid in terrifying circumstances.

Flock Safety has caused much controversy across the United States with its automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras. Despite privacy, tracking, and data sharing concerns, some local municipalities are acquiring additional Flock technology. Newport just became the second city in Rhode Island to approve the purchase of Flock Safety First Responder Drones. The Newport City Council voted unanimously to approve a three-year, $375,000 contract with Flock Group Inc. for a pilot drone program. Watch a video demonstration below showing Flock’s drone technology: Remember when everyone was told Flock was “just reading license plates”? Anyway, here’s Flock Alpha, the autonomous drone. It only flies 60 mph, launches itself, streams thermal video, can be flown from a cops phone and reads your license plate from 2,000 feet. Good stuff. pic.twitter.com/7Swhu8jTOn — Champagne Joshi (@JoshWalkos) July 23, 2026 WPRI shared further: Though no one spoke out against the new technology before the vote, councilors acknowledged the uneasiness some residents may feel about it. That’s why those concerns were addressed by Newport Police Chief Ryan Duffy prior to the vote. “It brings us a whole new lane of situational awareness,” Duffy said. Duffy explained that the drone would be sent out when 911 calls come in and would arrive at the scene of an emergency within about 90 seconds. “It’s going as the crow flies,” Duffy said. “It doesn’t have to worry about traffic, it doesn’t have to worry about one-way streets.” Once it arrives at the scene, Duffy said the drone gives first responders eyes on the situation. “For policing, it means not losing critical evidence,” Duffy continued. “It means having more information to solve crimes and to be able to to provide safety for our residents.” Duffy pointed to a recent double shooting in Newport where investigators spent hours piecing together what happened and figuring out who was involved. According to WPRI, the $375,000 contract was partially covered by a private donor. “We’ve been working on this for six to eight months,” donor Peter Kiernan said, according to the outlet. “This is the right thing for Newport. It’s good for the people of Newport,” Kiernan added. Newport Fire Chief Harp Donnelly expressed support for the drones. “For fire calls, it’s priceless,” Donnelly said. Duffy said the drones would only be utilized for specific service calls and not be on patrol. A Flock Safety spokesperson said the drone only begins recording when it arrives on scene. “We understand privacy and intrusion are big concerns,” Duffy said. “We want the community to feel safe with this asset,” he added. Newport This Week noted: According to city documents, the drone will serve the police and fire departments, as well as the harbormaster’s office and “resilience and sustainability operations.” Watch additional coverage below: The post Flock Drones Next?
