One person is dead and multiple others are injured after a gunman opened fire at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania during the college’s homecoming weekend, according to officials.
The university’s police chief, Marc Partee, confirmed at a news conference that one person was killed in the shooting, and six others were wounded and taken to a hospital.
One suspect was taken into custody, according to police.
“Law enforcement has responded to the scene and are actively investigating,” the Chester County District Attorney’s Office wrote in a statement. “Please avoid the area at this time.”

This weekend marked the school’s homecoming festivities, with the main football game taking place at 1 p.m. Saturday.
“I’ve been briefed on the shooting at Lincoln University tonight, and my Administration has offered our full support to President Allen and local law enforcement,” Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro wrote on social media.

Banking heir who donated $130M to pay troops unmasked despite Trump’s secrecy pledge
The anonymous donor who gave $130 million to the Pentagon to pay troops during the government shutdown has been identified as Timothy Mellon, a reclusive billionaire and a major financial backer of President Donald Trump, according to a report.
Trump announced the donation on Thursday, but declined to reveal the donor’s identity, only describing him as a “patriot” and a friend. The president again refused to name the person on Friday while talking to reporters aboard Air Force One shortly after departing Washington for Asia, calling the donor “a great American citizen” and a “substantial man.”
“He doesn’t want publicity,” Trump said on Friday. “He prefer that his name not be mentioned, which is pretty unusual in the world I come from, and in the world of politics, you want your name mentioned.”
But the two people familiar with the matter told The New York Times that the man is Mellon, a wealthy banking heir and railroad magnate.
MYSTERY TRUMP ALLY DONATES $130M TO COVER TROOPS’ PAYCHECKS AMID SHUTDOWN CHAOS
It remains unclear how long the donation will cover the troops’ salaries. The Trump administration’s 2025 budget asked for about $600 billion in total military compensation, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
The $130 million donation would equal about $100 a service member, according to The New York Times.
Mellon, a grandson of former Treasury Secretary Andrew W. Mellon, is a backer of Trump who gave tens of millions of dollars to groups supporting the president’s 2024 campaign. Last year, he gave $50 million to a super PAC supporting Trump, making it one of the largest single contributions ever disclosed, the newspaper noted.
The billionaire was not a prominent Republican donor until Trump was first elected but has given hundreds of millions of dollars in recent years into supporting the president and the GOP.
He is also a significant supporter of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who also ran for president in 2024, first as a Democrat and later as an independent before dropping out to endorse Trump. Mellon donated millions to Kennedy’s presidential campaign and has also given money to the secretary’s anti-vaccine nonprofit, Children’s Health Defense, according to The New York Times.
Despite his political contributions, Mellon has sought to keep a low profile.
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION FREEZES $11 BILLION IN BLUE-STATE INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS, BLAMES DEMOCRATS FOR SHUTDOWN
In an autobiography published in 2015, Mellon described himself as a former liberal who moved from Connecticut to Wyoming for lower taxes and fewer people.
The Pentagon said it accepted the donation under the “general gift acceptance authority.”

“The donation was made on the condition that it be used to offset the cost of service members’ salaries and benefits,” Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement to The New York Times.
But the donation may be a potential violation of the Antideficiency Act, which prohibits federal agencies from spending money in excess of congressional appropriations or from accepting voluntary services.
‘No Kings’ protests largely comprised of people from one demographic: experts
At last weekend’s “No Kings” protest in Washington, D.C., inflatable chickens bobbed above a crowd that, according to demographic research, was made up mostly of educated White women in their 40s.
Psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert said the “No Kings” protests were a snapshot of an era when emotional catharsis and civic activism have begun to blur.
“What we’re seeing is a kind of group therapy playing out in the streets,” he told Fox News Digital.
‘NO KINGS’ ORGANIZER DISCOURAGES VIOLENCE FOLLOWING COAST-TO-COAST ARRESTS
The protest, which drew thousands to the nation’s capital and similar rallies across the country, was aimed at denouncing what participants described as President Donald Trump’s “kingship” and blatant authoritarianism.
According to researchers at American University who track protest movements, and whose findings were first reported by Axios, the typical D.C. attendee was an educated White woman in her 40s who learned about the demonstration through friends or social media.
“The ‘No Kings’ movement allows people to feel belonging and community,” Alpert said. “Sharing grievances with like-minded people feels good, but it doesn’t necessarily change anything.”
Alpert, the author of his forthcoming book “Therapy Nation,” said “therapy speak” is everywhere in our culture.
“Therapy speak is everywhere — in dating apps, on the news, even in political rallies,” he said. “People start labeling others as narcissists or traumatized when those aren’t clinical diagnoses.”
MAN WEARING INFLATABLE TRUMP COSTUME ALLEGEDLY ATTACKED ON CAMERA AT BLUE STATE ‘NO KINGS’ PROTEST: POLICE
Alpert sees that hunger for connection as central to the “No Kings” phenomenon.
“People are craving community, and this gives them a place to channel that. They’re surrounded by others who validate how they feel, and that validation can be addictive,” he said. “Some protesters are equating the ‘No Kings’ movement with the Civil Rights Movement. In their minds, there’s an equivalency, but there really isn’t. They want to be part of something historically meaningful, and that longing can distort perspective.”
That fleeting catharsis, Alpert added, can also mask something darker.
“A lot of times people are unhappy in their own lives,” he said. “They may have anxiety or anger, and they project that onto others. That’s partly what we’re seeing play out at these rallies.”

Why are people wearing inflatable costumes to protests?
During “No Kings” protests across the nation last Saturday, individuals sporting inflatable T. rex, elephants and other brightly colored costumes flooded the streets. Supporters say the inflatable costumes draw attention without violence. The tactic started in Portland, Oregon, during protests against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations.
“They want us to be violent,” protester Claudia Schultz, wearing an inflatable pig costume, told the Miami Herald. “You can’t get any less violent than this.”
A tiny island was just ranked safest in the Caribbean — here’s why travelers love it
If safety is at the top of your vacation checklist, one tiny Caribbean island just earned top honors for peace, calm beaches and a world-class food scene.
Anguilla, a British overseas territory just north of St. Maarten and east of the Virgin Islands, was named the safest destination in the Caribbean, according to a 2025 ranking from World Population Review, which evaluates crime, policing and political stability based on data from the Global Peace Index.
“Anguilla crime rates are the lowest in the Caribbean, with very few violent or petty crimes to mar its reputation as a tropical oasis,” the report found. “Tourists can feel safe and at ease in tranquil Anguilla.”
URGENT ADVISORY FOR EXOTIC DESTINATION WARNS OF ‘CRIMINAL GANGS’ AND ‘VIOLENT CRIME’
While the review noted that drug-related offenses are “moderate,” it added that such crimes rarely affect visitors.
The U.S. Department of State also lists Anguilla at a Level 1 travel advisory, the lowest possible risk level, advising tourists to simply exercise normal precautions.
“Here, peace isn’t found, it’s felt,” the Anguilla Tourist Board wrote on social media after the report was released. “From 33 beaches to the warmth of our community, safety is simply part of island life on Anguilla.”
AMERICA’S WEALTHY ARE QUIETLY BUYING THEIR WAY OUT WITH ‘GOLDEN’ VISAS
Following Anguilla in the World Population Review’s safety ranking were Barbados, St. Barts, Martinique, the Cayman Islands and Aruba.
John Rose, chief risk adviser for Altour, a global travel management company, said Anguilla’s ranking stems from several distinct advantages.
“Its isolation and limited access points also reduce cross-border criminal activity, and tourism is managed in a more controlled, boutique environment,” Rose told Fox News Digital.
The designation is a meaningful recognition not only for traveler confidence but also from a tourism economics perspective, he added.
AMERICANS IN ONE VACATION HOT SPOT MAY SEE MORE MILITARY THAN MARGARITAS
It’s also not the first time Anguilla has earned international praise for its appeal.
Anguilla was also recognized by Travel + Leisure’s 2025 World’s Best Awards as one of the top islands globally — and the highest-ranked in the Caribbean — earning praise for its friendly hospitality, diverse cuisine and luxury resorts.
Experts and travel blogs often highlight Anguilla as a remote, exclusive escape free of shopping malls, cruise ships and high-rises where travelers can soak up crystal clear water, white sand beaches and fresh seafood feasts.
TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ
According to Encyclopedia Britannica, the island “is noted for its easy-going atmosphere and magnificent beaches and waters.”
Erin Schroeder, an Atlanta-based travel adviser and founder of Major Traveler, told Fox News Digital she agrees that Anguilla stands out as one of the best destinations in the Caribbean.
“The island of Anguilla being named the safest country in the Caribbean is an incredible win,” Schroeder told Fox News Digital. “Safety in the Caribbean is a top three deciding factor when travelers are weighing various islands.”

In addition to safety, travelers also seek destinations that offer easy transportation and walkability, both of which Anguilla has, she added.
“I personally love the ability to walk along the beach at night to local restaurants or exercise on the island’s flat roads knowing that it’s safe to do so,” Schroeder said.

She noted that Anguilla’s exclusive, off-the-beaten-path appeal also makes it a little harder to reach, with only one direct flight option from the United States.
“There’s a high price of entry, as travelers have to fly to St. Maarten and take a boat, which costs about $115 per person each way for a shared ferry,” she said.
Rose offered additional travel tips, like taking a “layered” approach to safety by reviewing local advisories, checking with hosts or advisers for up-to-date information and practicing common-sense precautions, like limiting displays of wealth and using registered transportation.

“Safety is dynamic, not static,” he said. “The best travelers prepare by gathering accurate information before they go, monitoring while they’re there and staying ready to respond if something changes. That’s how you travel smart, not scared.”
The sophisticated technology allegedly used in poker scandal linked to the NBA, mafia
The Department of Justice detailed the technology allegedly used by NBA stars, organized crime members and their associates to rig high-stakes poker games and cheat victims out of millions of dollars.
A range of sophisticated equipment, including altered shuffling machines, wireless communication, a chip tray analyzer and an X-ray table were allegedly used by the individuals indicted for their roles in the rigged games at various locations in New York City, East Hampton, New York, and throughout the U.S., the Justice Department said.
“For years, these individuals allegedly hosted illegal poker games where they used sophisticated technology and enlisted current and former NBA players to cheat people out of millions of dollars,” NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said in a statement. “This complex scheme was so far reaching that it included members from four of the organized crime families, and when people refused to pay because they were cheated, these defendants did what organized crime has always done: they used threats, intimidation, and violence.”
NBA LEGEND CHAUNCEY BILLUPS, HEAT’S TERRY ROZIER ARRESTED AS PART OF FBI GAMBLING PROBE
The tools and how they were allegedly used to rig games, according to the DOJ’s indictment:
Altered Shuffling Machines
While they appeared normal, these machines had hidden components that gave the members of this scheme an advantage.
In a typical legitimate poker game, according to the indictment, a dealer uses a shuffling machine to shuffle the cards randomly before dealing them to all the players in a particular order. But in the rigged games, the shuffling machines contained hidden technology allowing them to read all the cards in the deck before dealing them.
7 NBA GAMES DOJ SAYS WERE AFFECTED BY HIGH-STAKES WAGERS AFTER INSIDE INFORMATION WAS LEAKED TO GAMBLERS
Wireless Communication
Since the cards were always dealt in a particular order to the players, the machines could effectively determine which player would have the winning hand. That information was then allegedly transmitted to someone off-site, who then transmitted that information through a cellphone back to the player at the table. The player who was programmed to win was referred to as the “quarterback” or “driver.”

Chip tray analyzer
The defendants also allegedly used a chip tray analyzer. It looks like an ordinary poker chip tray, which holds the dealer’s chips during a game, but it was modified with hidden cameras, giving it the ability to secretly read all cards.
X-ray Table
The X-ray table could read cards face-down on the table. However, the conspirators also allegedly used special contact lenses or eyeglasses that could read pre-marked cards.

All of the devices allegedly allowed the cheating team to know which player would win each hand, allowing them to bet accordingly. In turn, the unsuspecting players would lose a significant amount of money — in a single game, sometimes tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars, which was allegedly funneled to organized crime families, according to the indictment.
Protester arrested after crossing line during standoff at Portland ICE facility
A female protester was arrested outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Portland, Oregon, Saturday afternoon after crossing a restricted line during a tense standoff with federal officers, according to new video shared with Fox News Digital by TPUSA Frontlines.
The clip, just over a minute-long, shows officers shouting commands as a woman in a keffiyeh steps past a blue line painted on the property.
Within seconds, several officers pull her toward the entrance of the facility as others move to hold back the crowd. Protesters can be heard yelling as the confrontation unfolds, and pepper spray is deployed.
TPUSA Frontlines told Fox News Digital that the woman “crossed the line ICE does not want them passing” and appeared to make contact with an officer before she was detained. Frontlines added that the crowd was expected to grow later in the evening once the rain cleared.

‘In the car, windows up’: Janney admits there’s a co-star she won’t work with again
Allison Janney kept her lips sealed when speaking about her former co-stars.
During a recent appearance on “Watch What Happens Live!,” the 65-year-old actress answered a few shady questions while playing “Agree or Disagree” with her co-star and fellow guest, Keri Russell.
As part of the game, host Andy Cohen asks a question and, based on their answers, guests will hold up a sign that either says agree or disagree. When Cohen asked if there was a former co-star the two “refuse to work with again,” both held up the agree sign. He then said they would get “extra points” if they named the celebrity.
“Well, mine is no longer with us, so I really can’t — I really couldn’t work with them again, even if I wanted to,” Janney said, before being prompted by Russell and Cohen to reveal who the actor is. “No, I’m not saying it. I will not be lulled into a false sense of safety being in this small little club.”

Russell later reminded her of her mom’s rule when it came to “talk[ing] s— about people,” after which Janney shared, “My mom would say ‘In the car, windows up, out of the driveway.'”
Janney and Russell star alongside each other in the Netflix drama “The Diplomat.” In the show, Janney plays the fictional president of the United States, Grace Penn, and Russell portrays the U.S. ambassador to the United Kingdom.
“No, I’m not saying it. I will not be lulled into a false sense of safety being in this small little club.”
“The relationship between us is one of the best relationship dynamics I’ve ever gotten to play,” Janney told NPR in October. “And they’ve had to fight extra hard to be where they are. So, the decisions that they make, especially Grace makes, she’s judged much harshly for.”
This season introduced actor Bradley Whitford as the husband of Janney’s character. Fans were excited to see the actor cast in the show because he and Janney starred alongside each other on the hit show “The West Wing.”

When speaking with People magazine, Janney said “it was so easy and comfortable” working with Whitford again due to their history together.
“I think it would’ve been more difficult with someone I didn’t know. It was surprisingly really easy and really fun,” she explained. “I was just excited for everyone on ‘Diplomat’ to get to meet Brad and experience everything that is Brad, which is fabulous and joyful and just — he’s the dream.”
During her time on “The West Wing,” Janney won four Emmy Awards for her portrayal of C.J. Cregg, the White House press secretary. She captured four more for her roles in “Masters of Sex” and the sitcom” Mom.”
She later won her first and only Academy Award in 2018 for her supporting role in “I, Tonya,” which told the true story behind the infamous incident involving Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan. The film mainly focused on Harding, her backstory and her involvement in the attack on Kerrigan, with Janney portraying her mother, LaVona.

“LaVona Harding is one of the cruelest people I’ve ever played,” Janney said in a behind-the-scenes clip from the Blu-Ray/DVD release of the film. “They weren’t living in the high life by any stretch, and I think she saw her daughter as a way out of her life.
