A star college football player was the victim of a drive-by shooting on Wednesday‚ according to Florida police‚ but his life was spared because his cellphone took a bullet for him. The 20-year-old man was walking from the Step in Food convenience store to his father's home in Port Salerno at about 11 p.m. when someone fired at him from a car‚ according to Martin County Sheriff's Office Chief Deputy John Budensiek. "It's by the grace of God that we're not discussing a serious homicide case today‚" said Budensiek. "As he was getting near his house‚ a vehicle drove up‚ and the passenger in the front of that vehicle opened fire at him with a high-powered rifle‚" he added. Two of the bullets struck the man in the thigh and in the hand. One shattered his cellphone‚ which he was holding up to his face while talking. Police say that the cellphone likely saved his life. Investigators did not release the man's name but did confirm that he had no criminal history. "This is alarming for us‚ that area is a relatively safe‚ quiet area‚" Budensiek added. He added that the football player was in town for the holidays but normally attended school out of state. Dominick Victor‚ a close friend of the victim‚ told WPTV-TV that he was horrified when he got the call about his friend. "None of this feels real‚ it's hard to like‚ so much emotion‚ it just doesn't feel real‚" he said. Police are trying to identify a suspect and released a surveillance video from a Ring camera showing what they believe to be the car of the shooter speeding away. They are still investigating whether the shooting was targeted or random. "It's an attempted homicide case‚ inches from a homicide case‚" said Budensiek.

Actor Kelsey Grammer of "Frasier" fame has noted that he still supports former President Donald Trump."I am‚" Grammer said during an interview with BBC Radio 4's "Today" when asked whether he is still a Trump supporter. He added that he would "let that be the end of it."A radio host noted that "Kelsey Grammer himself was perfectly happy to go on talking about it. The Paramount+ PR people‚ less happy that he talked about it‚" the radio host added‚ indicating that the PR people decided that there had been "plenty of time for our interview." Grammer‚ who played the character Frasier Crane on the sitcom "Cheers‚" portrayed the character again for the sitcom "Frasier‚" which ran from 1993 until 2004. Grammer is reprising the role of Frasier Crane in the Paramount+ reboot‚ also titled "Frasier‚" which came out this year — the season 1 finale will come out later this week. During a 2019 interview‚ Christiane Amanpour noted that Grammer is conservative and had voted for Trump and then asked the actor whether he had taken hits for it. "I'm unaware of taking a hit for it‚" Grammer said.The actor played Christian pastor Chuck Smith in the 2023 film "Jesus Revolution‚" which was based on a true story. The real Chuck Smith passed away in 2013. While Trump is facing GOP primary competition‚ he has been able to maintain a massive lead in the polls and appears likely to clinch the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. Like Blaze News?

A new update for WhatsApp will finally let iOS users send photos and videos as documents to preserve their original quality. The feature is currently available to limited users‚ and WABetaInfo says it will continue to roll out to more users as part of WhatsApp version 23.24.73. If you're already running that version and don't see the update‚ though‚ it's because 23.24.73 is only marked as a compatible update‚ which means the feature isn't technically part of that update‚ but it is enabled for some using it. WABetaInfo first noted that this particular feature would be coming to WhatsApp on iOS back in November. With it‚ users running WhatsApp on iOS will finally be able to send their videos and photos as documents‚ allowing them to preserve the file's original quality. It'll also allow them to send the documents without needing to jump through multiple hoops. WhatsApp continues to add new features to the Meta-run instant messaging app‚ including an option to hide your locked messages behind a secret code Image source: WhatsApp Other features included in WhatsApp's iOS update for version 23.24.73 include an option to start voice chats without ringing everyone in a large group‚ as well as new bubbles in chat that will help you see missed calls‚ completed calls‚ and those that are still ongoing. You'll also soon be able to react to status updates using your avatar. WhatsApp also recently added the option to hide your locked chats behind a passcode‚ which you can now take advantage of if you want to add even more privacy to your WhatsApp account. As I noted above‚ it is possible that some users running the WhatsApp iOS update to version 23.24.73 will not have the option to send videos and photos in their original quality just yet. If you don't see that option‚ you are probably still waiting on WhatsApp to roll the feature out‚ as the company shared in the official changelog that it would be doing so over the course of the next few weeks.
