Mom apologizes after birthday party turns deadly: ‘They deserve to go to hell’
A manhunt is still underway for a suspect in a Stockton, California, mass shooting that left four people dead this weekend, including three children, with police saying there likely were multiple shooters.
The FBI has offered a $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of a suspect. The victims in Saturday’s shooting were 8, 9, 14 and 21 years old. They were attending a birthday party for a 2-year-old, and attendees said the group was gathering around the cake when the gunshots began.
“As we got ready to start cutting her cake, everyone started gathering around and cutting the cake and all we heard were gunshots. Everybody just dove to the ground. It was just unexpected. I don’t know what happened. I’m just so shocked and lost and speechless,” said Patrice Williams, who organized the party for her daughter.
“I just want to say I’m sorry to all the mothers out there that lost their kids at my birthday party,” she added.

Eleven people were injured in the attack, in addition to the four fatalities. Williams said that among those injured were her sister, a cousin and three of her friends.

Sheriff Patrick Withrow of the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office confirmed to the press on Monday that there “appears to be multiple shooters,” but authorities have not publicly identified any suspects.
“They deserve to be in jail. They deserve to go to hell,” Williams said. “I’m sorry, but I just … it’s not respectable. It’s a kids’ party.”

Authorities said tips, video and witness accounts from the community are helping detectives move toward identifying and locating the individuals responsible for what the sheriff’s office called a “horrific act.”
Family questions police after Texas A&M student found dead post-tailgate
The mother of Texas A&M sophomore Brianna Aguilera, 19, said she’s not satisfied with information regarding the death of her daughter and is still “awaiting answers” about what happened to her.
Police have publicly maintained that the circumstances surrounding the discovery of Aguilera’s body at an Austin, Texas, apartment just hours after she attended a college tailgate show “no indications of suspicious circumstances.”
The Austin Police Department said officers responded to reports of an unconscious person at an apartment in the 2100 block of Rio Grande Street around 12:50 a.m. Saturday.
Aguilera “was pronounced deceased on scene,” according to police.
NO CAUSE OF DEATH FOR CHEERLEADER FOUND DEAD ON CRUISE SHIP AS REPORT REVEALS REMAINS FOUND HIDDEN UNDER BED
“At this time, the incident is not being investigated as a homicide, and there are no indications of suspicious circumstances,” APD said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “The cause of death will be determined by the Travis County Medical Examiner’s Office. The investigation remains ongoing.”
Although APD’s story has not wavered, Aguilera’s mother, Stephanie Rodriguez, has publicly signaled that she believes the circumstances surrounding her daughter’s final hours do not add up.
“This was not accidental. Someone killed my Brie and gave all the group of friends a lot of time to come up with the same story,” Rodriguez wrote on Facebook. “My daughter would not jump 17 stories from a building and to be labeling this as a suicide is insane.”
“My daughter loved life and was excited to graduate and pursue her career in Law. Austin PD and Detective Marshall are not doing their jobs! How is it that certain friends left immediately and the person who was living at the apartment complex vacated her apartment ASAP?”
A GoFundMe page set up for the family states that Aguilera attended the UT vs. Texas A&M tailgate on Friday and that “the details surrounding what happened next remain unclear, and her mother is still awaiting answers.”
CRUISE TRAGEDY: ‘I AM NOT OKAY,’ SAYS MOTHER OF 18-YEAR-OLD FOUND DEAD ABOARD CARNIVAL SHIP
Although Rodriguez has not accused anyone directly, her public comments make clear she does not feel she has been given an adequate explanation of how her daughter went from attending a college tailgate to being found dead at an Austin apartment within hours.
In her emotional message posted to the fundraiser, Rodriguez writes that the sudden loss of her daughter left her devastated and questioning the events of the night.
“I’m so grateful for your love and support at this moment,” she said. “The unexpected loss of my brie brie has been a tremendous challenge… I’ve experienced every parent’s worst fear.”
She also states that she is leaning on the strength of her community but is still processing the limited information she has received. She goes on to say that her daughter “touched so many hearts” and that supporters will be notified once funeral arrangements are finalized.
Fundraiser organizer Amabelii Fernandez says the family is struggling as they wait for clarity.
“Our hearts are shattered,” the GoFundMe states.
After donations passed the goal, Fernandez wrote, “I will leave the donations open so that my aunt can comfortably grieve through this unimaginable loss.”
Aguilera is described on the page as a driven student who graduated magna cum laude from United High School in Laredo and was studying at the Bush School of Government and Public Service at Texas A&M.
As of Tuesday, police have not released any additional investigative findings.

Fox News Digital also reached out to the organizer through the GoFundMe fundraiser for comment but has not immediately heard back.
The case remains open pending the medical examiner’s report.
Tennis legend on kids questioning gender as schools abandon values: ‘I cry about that’
Tennis legend Margaret Court remained firm with her concerns about Christian values being taken out of schools and what it meant for the lives of children.
Court expressed dismay in a recent interview with The Telegraph in the United Kingdom about children and teenagers questioning their genders and being able to have access to serious health-changing medications like puberty blockers – should one seek to change their gender.

“Christian values have been taken out of our schools. Some children don’t even know whether they’re boys or girls any longer,” Court told the paper. “This is where I get upset, because I look back at my life and I was such a tomboy when I was young. I played football and cricket, and I beat all the boys doing it. But I still knew I had two brothers who were different from me.
“Now you have children saying, ‘I feel like being a boy.’ Giving them hormone replacement before puberty? They end up trapped in their bodies and they can’t turn back. We don’t even allow them to drive until they’re 17. So why would you do that to another human being? What are we doing to our young people? I cry about that.”
FORMER SJSU VOLLEYBALL STAR REVEALS ‘SEVERE’ HEALTH ISSUE THAT STEMMED FROM TITLE IX CONFLICT WITH SCHOOL
Court is considered to be one of the greatest women’s tennis players of all time. She holds the record for most Grand Slam singles titles with 24 – a record that only Serena Williams was able to sniff, but never break. She has 64 major titles in total, with 19 women’s doubles championships and 21 major mixed doubles titles.
Court has been criticized for her views on same-sex marriage as well as other beliefs.
She told The Telegraph that she has nothing against gay people, but defended her reasoning that gay people shouldn’t be married in the church because the Bible says so.
“As a minister, I simply stood up for some values,” she said. “I have nothing against gay people. I just say what the Bible says, ‘A man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.’

Dell family donates $6.25B as part of initiative tied to ‘Trump accounts’ program
Michael Dell, founder and CEO of Dell Technologies, and his wife, Susan, have pledged $6.25 billion to support a new federal savings program created for America’s children, known as “Trump accounts.”
The program, tucked into the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and signed into law by President Donald Trump on July 4, provides every child born between Jan. 1, 2025 and Dec. 31, 2028 with a one-time $1,000 government deposit at birth. Families can open an account once the child has a Social Security number, and funds cannot be withdrawn until the child turns 18.
Parents and relatives may contribute up to $5,000 annually, with the cap potentially adjusted for inflation after 2027.
HOW THE ‘BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL’ GIVES AMERICAN BABIES A FINANCIAL HEAD START
“These investment accounts are simple, secure, and structured to grow in value through market returns over time. At age 18, these young Americans can have a financial foundation for continued education, job training, home ownership, or future savings. It’s a simple yet very powerful idea,” the couple said in a statement.
That long-term potential, they said, is why they chose to help bring the program to millions more families.
“Through our charitable funds, we are thrilled to be contributing $6.25 billion to seed 25 million additional accounts with $250 each. These deposits will reach the accounts of most children age 10 and under who were born prior to the qualifying date for the federal newborn contribution,” the couple said.
The new investment comes as Trump is expected to share additional details about the program on Tuesday.
‘TRUMP ACCOUNTS’ FOR NEWBORNS COULD GROW TO $1.9M, TREASURY SAYS
Treasury projections show that the “Trump accounts” offered to American children could grow into a seven-figure nest egg by adulthood, if maximized and left to compound.
The financial head start for newborns could grow to as much as $1.9 million by the age of 28 if fully funded and left untouched, according to the Treasury Office of Tax Analysis.

Even at the lower end of projected returns, the savings account could still yield nearly $600,000 over the same period.
Even without additional contributions beyond the federal government’s initial $1,000 deposit, the Treasury estimates the account could grow to between $3,000 and $13,800 over 18 years.
Heavy drinkers cut alcohol use by nearly 30% after adopting one new habit, study finds
Certain people who use cannabis tend to drink less alcohol, a new study found.
Researchers from Brown University’s Center for Alcohol and Addiction Studies set out to determine whether cannabis use has an effect on alcohol craving and consumption — specifically, whether smoking marijuana can reduce alcohol use in heavy drinkers.
The randomized, controlled study included 157 adults between the ages of 21 and 44 who reported heavy drinking and regular cannabis use (at least bi-weekly).
ALCOHOL DEATHS HAVE MORE THAN DOUBLED IN RECENT YEARS, ESPECIALLY AMONG WOMEN
Each participant completed three two-hour “lab sessions” with different types of cannabis use. They received one of two levels of THC or a placebo, and then were given the choice to drink alcohol or accept a cash payment.
Those who smoked cannabis with the higher level of THC (7.2%) consumed about 27% less alcohol than those who smoked a placebo. They also reported an immediate reduction in the urge to drink.
Participants who smoked cannabis with 3.1% THC smoked about 19% less alcohol.
“In our controlled bar lab study, after people smoked cannabis, they drank about a quarter less alcohol over the next two hours,” lead study author Jane Metrik, Ph.D., professor of behavioral and social sciences at Brown’s Center for Alcohol and Addiction Studies, told Fox News Digital.
ALCOHOL-RELATED LIVER TRANSPLANTS ON THE RISE AMONG YOUNG ADULTS, DOCTOR SAYS
Cannabis had mixed effects on alcohol cravings, the researchers reported.
“We found a significant decrease in alcohol urge immediately after smoking cannabis, but not a consistent effect on a different measure of alcohol craving,” Metrik said. “This suggests that cannabis may not exert a uniform effect on alcohol motivation, and that other mechanisms may also explain how cannabis impacts subsequent alcohol use.”
CANNABIS GUMMY POISONINGS SURGE AMONG VULNERABLE GROUP, EXPERTS WARN
The study, which was funded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, was published last month in the American Journal of Psychiatry.
Risks and limitations
The study did have limitations, the researchers acknowledged.
“The study tested only one cannabinoid (THC) in smoked cannabis, which means the results may not generalize to the wide range of cannabis products, formulations and other cannabinoids,” Metrik told Fox News Digital. “The study sample also consisted of individuals who used cannabis nearly every day, so those who use cannabis less often may show different alcohol-related behaviors.”
THESE ARE THE TOP HEALTH RISKS OF MARIJUANA USE, ESPECIALLY SMOKING CANNABIS
The researchers also did not look at the effects of using cannabis and alcohol at the same time.
As the research was short-term and conducted in a “lab” setting, it’s unclear whether the reduced alcohol use would continue in the longer term or in real-world settings, they noted.
The study results do not justify recommending cannabis as a substitute for alcohol among people with alcohol-use disorder, the researchers stated, as the long-term health effects and addiction risks for cannabis remain uncertain.
“It is important to understand that cannabis’ impact varies substantially across individuals,” Mitek said, noting that while the substance may reduce drinking in the short term, it also presents its own risks.
MORE SENIORS ARE USING CANNABIS THAN EVER BEFORE DESPITE HEALTH RISKS, RESEARCH SHOWS
“Our study is a first step, and we need more long-term research before drawing conclusions for public health,” she said. “We do not have clear evidence of long-term safety and efficacy of using cannabis as alcohol treatment. For now, I would not recommend using cannabis to cut down on alcohol use.”
For people who are already substituting cannabis for alcohol, Mitek recommends that they closely monitor their use and be aware of the risk of cannabis use disorder. She also “strongly encourages” them to consider evidence-based alcohol treatments.
Experts weigh in
Marcel Bonn-Miller, Ph.D., a cannabis researcher with Ajna BioSciences in Colorado, noted that the study highlights the current market trends, which show that alcohol sales have decreased significantly as THC has become more accessible.
“In our controlled bar lab study, after people smoked cannabis, they drank about a quarter less alcohol over the next two hours.”
“As many consumers report using THC beverages and other non-inhaled methods of administration as alternatives to alcohol, it would be important for future clinical trials to determine the effect of these formats on alcohol use behavior over time,” the researcher, who was not involved in the study, told Fox News Digital.
Riana Durrett, director of the Cannabis Policy Institute at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, praised the study’s “rigorous” design.

“Overall, the experimental design is a rare feature in this area of research because it can be logistically difficult to give people cannabis in the lab (given its federal Schedule I status), so this is a really unique study,” Durrett, who was also not involved in the study, told Fox News Digital.
The results align with the “California sober” trend, where smoking cannabis may be a way to reduce other substance use, she noted.

While some individuals have reported that cannabis has helped them recover from other substance use disorders, the effect hasn’t been tested extensively, according to Durrett.
The expert agreed that while the study infers cannabis use does decrease alcohol use in a single session, there are some unknowns, including the long-term effects of cannabis use on alcohol consumption.
“So, it is still possible that in the longer term, cannabis use may be harmful for drinking outcomes,” she said. “We also don’t know the net effect of swapping out one substance (such as alcohol) for another (such as cannabis).”

“It might be easy to believe that using cannabis instead of alcohol is a win, but we really don’t know if that is true or not from the current research.”
TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ
Durrett added, “Hopefully, this study and similar ones can add tools to our toolkit on how to reduce problem drinking.”
Mitek noted that additional research is needed to evaluate “clinically relevant alcohol outcomes,” particularly among people who are seeking treatment for alcohol-use disorder.
‘Full House’ star reveals second cancer diagnosis following his recent remission
“Full House” star Dave Coulier is facing a second cancer battle in less than a year.
The beloved comedian, 66, revealed he was diagnosed in October with HPV-related oropharyngeal tongue cancer — a discovery made just months after celebrating his recovery from non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
“To go through chemotherapy and feel that relief of ‘Whoa, it’s gone,’ and then to get a test that says, ‘Well, now you’ve got another kind of cancer’ … it’s a shock to the system,” Coulier shared on “Today.”
The Hollywood actor said his new diagnosis came with no warning signs.

In March, Coulier completed chemotherapy and received encouraging news from his doctors that there were “no signs” of lymphoma. But a follow-up PET scan quickly changed everything.
“A couple of months ago, I had a PET scan and something flared on the scan,” he recalled.
“The doctor said, ‘We don’t know what it is, but there’s something at the base of your tongue.’”

A painful biopsy initially came back clear, he shared.
“We thought, ‘This is great. We’re still not sure what it is, but there aren’t any cancer cells,’” he said.
But during his next scheduled PET scan in October, doctors found the growth had returned — and enlarged.

A second biopsy, taken after removing a larger piece of tissue, confirmed early-stage P16 carcinoma. “They said it’s totally unrelated to my non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. This is a new cancer. … I said, ‘Are you kidding me?’” Coulier said.
Doctors explained that P16-positive cancers are linked to HPV-16. “They said it could stem from having an HPV virus up to 30 years ago,” he said. “A lot of people carry the HPV virus, but they said mine activated and turned into a carcinoma.”
Despite the devastating news, Coulier saw a silver lining: “We found it early enough where it’s very treatable. … It’s got a 90% curability rate.” His doctor told him radiation treatments would begin immediately.
Coulier is now undergoing 35 radiation treatments, scheduled Monday through Friday through the end of the year. “It’s a whole different animal than chemo,” he noted. Side effects include nausea, “radiation brain” and lingering pain from the biopsy. Still, he kept his trademark humor, saying, “My joke usually is … I’m doing really well for a guy with cancer.”
His final treatment is set for Dec. 31.
“I get to start the new year saying, ‘I finished radiation yesterday!’ It’s kind of serendipitous,” he said.
Coulier continued to share the toll his cancer journey has taken.
“It’s emotional. It’s psychologically draining. It’s also a big drain to my wife, Melissa, which is the biggest drain on me, seeing how this affects her,” he shared.
Through it all, Coulier said he remains “cautiously optimistic.”
“I’m going to get on the other side of this,” he remarked.

He credited his first cancer diagnosis for helping doctors detect the second.
“The silver lining here is that I had cancer, which helped me detect my other cancer,” he said. “Had I not gone in and listened to my doctors … I could be in a world of hurt.”
Coulier said this year has reshaped how he approaches his wellness.
He now focuses on daily exercise, cleaner eating, sauna sessions and infrared light therapy.

“I’ve started to really give my body a chance,” he said on “Today.”
Chemotherapy also prompted him to examine the ingredients in every product he used — a “light-bulb moment” that led to founding AwearMarket, which he called “a digital marketplace for toxin-free wellness products.”

“I’ve taken a whole new approach to life, where I’m very — I don’t want to keep going back to this word — but aware now,” Coulier said.
Coulier starred in the popular sitcom “Full House” alongside the late Bob Saget, John Stamos, Lori Loughlin, Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin, Andrea Barber and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. The show ran for eight seasons, from 1987 to 1995.
New homeowners shocked as workers uncover explosive secret buried on property
Contractors renovating a Washington State home stumbled upon a case of live, military-style hand grenades packed with TNT — triggering a bomb squad response and the shutdown of a nearby road, authorities said Monday.
The explosive discovery was made on the property of a home in Ollala, a rural community in Kitsap County, the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office said.
Workers immediately called the homeowners, who were not living at the home during renovations, according to the sheriff’s office. The homeowners then called 911.
Deputies responded and inspected the case before alerting state bomb technicians. The road near the home was also temporarily closed for public safety.

Inside the case were 10 grenades, which bomb technicians determined were packed with TNT. The technicians also found blasting caps and other explosive devices.
An explosive ordnance team from Naval Submarine Base Bangor also responded to the property and seized the grenades, which authorities believe were military issue.

Pentagon fires back after children’s book publisher slams Hegseth’s ‘Franklin’ meme
The publisher of the iconic children’s book series “Franklin the Turtle” issued a statement on social media Monday condemning Secretary of War Pete Hegseth‘s “violent” and “unauthorized use” of their character in a meme posted to X.
On Sunday, Hegseth shared a meme parodying the “Franklin” series, depicting the turtle firing a rocket-propelled grenade launcher at armed men in boats under the title “Franklin Targets Narco Terrorists.”
“For your Christmas wish list…” Hegseth joked when sharing the fake book cover.
TRUMP SAYS HE BELIEVES HEGSETH ‘100%’ ON VENEZUELAN DRUG BOAT STRIKE DENIAL AMID ALLEGATIONS
The Canadian publisher behind the “Franklin” series, Kids Can Press, condemned the secretary’s meme in a statement posted to its social media accounts the next day.
“Franklin the Turtle is a beloved Canadian icon who has inspired generations of children and stands for kindness, empathy, and inclusivity,” the statement read. “We strongly condemn any denigrating, violent, or unauthorized use of Franklin’s name or image, which directly contradicts these values.”
When asked for comment by Fox News Digital, Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell responded, “We doubt Franklin the Turtle wants to be inclusive of drug cartels … or laud the kindness and empathy of narco-terrorists.”
The meme appeared to reference ongoing U.S. strikes on alleged drug-smuggling boats in the Caribbean, which have stirred up controversy over the last month as detractors argue that the strikes are illegal due to them not receiving congressional approval.
HEGSETH DEFENDS LETHAL STRIKES AGAINST ALLEGED DRUG TRAFFICKERS: ‘BIDEN CODDLED TERRORISTS, WE KILL THEM’
Hegseth and the Trump administration have faced mounting scrutiny over their strikes on suspected “narco-terrorists” after it was revealed that a second strike was carried out on a Venezuelan drug boat in September.
On Monday, the White House confirmed and defended the second strike, with White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt telling reporters that the strike was conducted “in self-defense” in international waters “in accordance with the law of armed conflict.”
The Washington Post reported Friday that Hegseth verbally ordered a Sept. 2 attack to kill everyone on board the alleged drug boat, prompting calls from lawmakers for greater oversight of the strikes.
The Post reported that a second strike was conducted to take out the remaining survivors on the boat.
HEGSETH SAYS MILITARY CONDUCTED ANOTHER STRIKE ON BOAT CARRYING ALLEGED NARCO-TERRORISTS
According to the Post, the commander overseeing that operation told colleagues on a secure conference call that survivors were legitimate targets because they could still alert other traffickers, and ordered the second strike, citing Hegseth’s directive that everyone must be killed.
“As usual, the fake news is delivering more fabricated, inflammatory and derogatory reporting to discredit our incredible warriors fighting to protect the homeland,” Hegseth wrote on X on Friday.
“As we’ve said from the beginning and in every statement, these highly effective strikes are specifically intended to be ‘lethal, kinetic strikes,’” Hegseth continued. “The declared intent is to stop lethal drugs, destroy narco-boats and kill the narco-terrorists who are poisoning the American people. Every trafficker we kill is affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization.”

DOJ floats fresh indictments against Comey, James instead of appealing dismissals
In the wake of a federal judge’s moves last month to dismiss separate indictments against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, the Department of Justice is considering possibly pursuing new indictments against the two figures, according to Politico.
The outlet reported that two individuals familiar with the cases indicated that the DOJ is seriously thinking about refraining from appealing the dismissals and is instead seeking new indictments against Comey and James.
Fox News Digital reached out to the DOJ, which did not provide comment.
