Kimberly Meyer released a statement through police thanking investigators and first responders following the shooting.
“I have great confidence in the Lafayette Police Department’s investigation and want to thank all the agencies involved for their work,” she said. “We are also incredibly grateful for the outpouring of support from the community; everyone has been so kind and compassionate.

Miami standout’s brilliant two-touchdown game overshadowed by postgame altercation
Miami Hurricanes star running back Mark Fletcher Jr. was spotted throwing a punch at an Indiana Hoosiers player following the close national championship game on Monday night.
The ESPN broadcast caught Fletcher walking off the field when he and Hoosiers defensive lineman Tyrique Tucker exchanged words. Fletcher stepped forward, took a swing at Tucker and had to be held back from escalating the situation further.

It’s unclear what was said between the two players, but it was a sour end for the Hurricanes star who had a phenomenal game.
Fletcher had two touchdowns in the 27-21 loss. He scored when Miami needed it badly to start the second half. The Hurricanes only needed two plays as Fletcher scampered for a 57-yard touchdown run to get his team on the board. He had a 3-yard run early in the fourth quarter that cut their deficit to just three points.
INDIANA’S FERNANDO MENDOZA REFLECTS ON INCREDIBLE DIVING TD: ‘I’D DIE FOR MY TEAM’
The Hurricanes couldn’t get past the Hoosiers in the latter moments of the game. Fernando Mendoza’s diving touchdown gave Indiana a 10-point lead with about 9:18 left in the game.
Miami quarterback Carson Beck had a chance to lead the team on a game-winning drive, but he threw a game-sealing interception.

Fletcher ran for 112 yards on 17 carries along with his two scores, but the fight at the end of the game may mar the incredible performance he delivered.
Trump fires off Truth Social posts, beating drum on Greenland acquisition
President Donald Trump, who has been pressing for the U.S. to acquire Greenland, continued to beat the drum on the issue early on Tuesday.
“I had a very good telephone call with Mark Rutte, the Secretary General of NATO, concerning Greenland. I agreed to a meeting of the various parties in Davos, Switzerland. As I expressed to everyone, very plainly, Greenland is imperative for National and World Security. There can be no going back — On that, everyone agrees!” the president declared in part of a Truth Social post.
Trump is slated to speak at the World Economic Forum annual meeting on Wednesday.
TRUMP WARNS US CAN NO LONGER THINK ‘PURELY OF PEACE’ AS HE PUSHES FOR GREENLAND CONTROL
In another post on Tuesday, Trump shared a graphic that appeared to depict Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance standing behind Trump as he held a flagpole flying an American flag near a sign that described Greenland as a “US TERRITORY EST. 2026.”
“Shockingly, our ‘brilliant’ NATO Ally, the United Kingdom, is currently planning to give away the Island of Diego Garcia, the site of a vital U.S. Military Base, to Mauritius, and to do so FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER,” the president asserted in part of a separate post.
DENMARK RAMPS UP DEFENSES IN GREENLAND AS TRUMP ZEROS IN ON CONTROL OF TERRITORY
“The UK giving away extremely important land is an act of GREAT STUPIDITY, and is another in a very long line of National Security reasons why Greenland has to be acquired. Denmark and its European Allies have to DO THE RIGHT THING. Thank you for your attention to this matter,” he asserted.
Last week, Trump warned of tariffs as he continued to press the matter of Greenland.
WHY TRUMP ZEROED IN ON GREENLAND AND WHY IT MATTERS IN 3 MAPS
“Starting on February 1st, 2026, all of the above mentioned Countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland), will be charged a 10% Tariff on any and all goods sent to the United States of America. On June 1st, 2026, the Tariff will be increased to 25%. This Tariff will be due and payable until such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland,” Trump declared in a January 17 Truth Social post.
Tuesday, January 20, marks the one-year anniversary since Trump’s January 20, 2025 inauguration.
Engineers trying to enjoy lunch face hostile crowd in mistaken ICE agent accusation
A group of software engineers were showered with insults and accused of being pedophiles after they were mistakenly accused of being U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents while trying to eat lunch in Minneapolis.
The men – all white males dressed casually in sweatshirts and jackets — were eating lunch at Clancey’s Deli when one of them got a alert on an anti-Ice Signal chat telling members that plainclothes agents were at the restaurant, Alpha News reported.
The person who got the message on the “SW Minneapolis Rapid Response” chat is aligned politically with the anti-ICE cause, one of the engineers who gave his name as Lee told the outlet.
PROTESTERS CLASH WITH FEDERAL OFFICERS AFTER ANOTHER ICE SHOOTING IN MINNEAPOLIS
“My friend was shocked. He’s on the [anti-ICE] side politically. He lives nearby. He’s eaten there before. And suddenly he’s seeing messages saying we’re ICE,” Lee said.
After the alert was shared, dozens of anti-ICE agitators flocked to the restaurant and peered into the window, according to a video filmed by one of the men.
Once the group left, they were met on the street with derision from the crowd.
“You’re a f—— bootlicker b—-!” one of the agitators can be heard.
“Get out of our f—— neighborhood!” screamed another.
“Next thing we know, people are yelling, ‘I hope you die,’ and calling us pedophiles,” said Lee.
ICE SAYS 2 DEMONSTRATORS WERE ARRESTED IN MINNESOTA FOR ALLEGEDLY ASSAULTING OFFICERS
One of the men tried explaining that they were software engineers trying to have a meal.
“We do custom apps for a whole bunch of companies around Minnesota and the country,” he said.
Still, the crowd appeared unconvinced.
“Do I look like an ICE agent?” one of the men asked, prompting one woman to reply with: “Yeah, you look like a f—— ICE agent.”
“Get the f— out” one person is heard saying as whistles are heard in the background.
“This is what’s wrong with your guys’ cause,” the man said.
A woman asks, “Would you support [us]?”

“The way you guys are acting? No. And I don’t support ICE either,” one man said. “I’m just trying to enjoy my lunch!”
LEE CARTER: Trump’s approval ratings reveal what legacy media refuses to see
Tuesday, Jan. 20 marks one year since Donald Trump returned to the Oval Office. One year of executive orders, foreign policy shock waves, immigration crackdowns and a governing style that never once tried to soften its edges.
And for one year, the same headline has seemed to be everywhere: Trump is unpopular.
Approval in the low 40s. Disapproval in the mid-50s. The verdict, according to the polling-industrial complex, is clear.
FROM WASHINGTON: THE PRESIDENT’S FIRST YEAR ‘REPORT CARD’
But one year in, it’s worth asking a more uncomfortable question: What if the polls aren’t telling us Trump is failing? What if they’re telling us he’s delivering — and the country is splitting in response?
Because Trump is not like other presidents. And that means we’re reading his first year through the wrong lens.
A First Year Without the Usual Pivot
Most presidents spend their first year recalibrating. They discover the limits of power. They soften the rhetoric. They explain why campaign promises were harder than expected.
They govern in beige after campaigning in bold color. Trump never did that.
He governed exactly as he campaigned — and dared the country to react.
He promised to get tough on immigration. He did.
He promised to put America first, even if allies bristled. He did.
He promised decisive action over consensus. He delivered it.
You can disagree with the choices. Many do. But you cannot credibly argue that he misrepresented who he would be.
And that’s why his polling looks so strange — and so stable — one year in.
THE ECONOMIC POLICIES SHAPING TRUMP’S RETURN TO THE WHITE HOUSE
According to national polling averages, Trump’s job approval sits around 41% to 42%, with disapproval in the mid-50s. Those numbers dominate headlines. But buried in the same data is the statistic that actually defines his first year: According to a Wall Street Journal poll this week, 92% of voters who supported Trump in 2024 still approve of the job he’s doing.
That is not drift.
That is not erosion.
That is alignment.
Trump didn’t lose America; he kept his people.
The Polls Still Measure Performance — But Through Identity
Here’s the shift that explains everything: The polls absolutely reflect what Trump is doing. They just don’t reflect it the way they used to.
In past presidencies, performance led to persuasion. A good economy moved numbers up. A crisis moved them down. Voters behaved like jurors, weighing evidence and revising judgment.
Today, voters behave more like mirrors.
Trump acts. And people don’t reconsider. They react as who they already are.
Supporters see delivery.
Opponents see confirmation.
The same action produces opposite conclusions — and the polls record the split.
Think of today’s polling like polarized sunglasses. Everyone sees the same reality — but one lens turns it red, the other blue. The event isn’t hidden. It’s filtered. Trump’s presidency doesn’t change minds; it clarifies them.
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION REVOKES MORE THAN 100,000 VISAS IN FIRST YEAR BACK
That’s why approval doesn’t swing wildly. That’s why scandals don’t collapse support. That’s why victories don’t expand it. The country isn’t being persuaded. It’s being sorted — in response to Trump doing exactly what he said he would do.
Why His Numbers Barely Move
This is why Trump’s approval ratings feel so unsatisfying to everyone.
Critics want them to signal collapse.
Supporters want them to signal dominance.
Instead, they signal something more unsettling: stability without consensus.
Recent polling suggests Trump’s approval has stabilized after early dips — not because nothing is happening, but because everything is settling into place. The sides are formed. The reactions are predictable. The country has chosen its lenses.
Trump isn’t chasing approval. He’s holding his line.
And that, one year in, is the defining feature of his presidency.
A Promise Actually Kept
Here is the thing that makes both sides uncomfortable:
Trump didn’t run as a unifier and then divide.
He didn’t run as a reformer and then manage.
He didn’t run as an outsider and then assimilate.
He ran as a disruptor — and governed as one.
That doesn’t make him right.
It doesn’t make him wrong.
It makes him consistent.

And consistency, in a country this divided, is no longer a virtue everyone can tolerate. It’s a provocation.
One Year Later
One year in, Trump’s approval ratings aren’t a warning sign. They’re a receipt. They show that he delivered exactly what he promised — and that half the country can’t stand what was delivered.
In an era built on walk-backs and reversals, Trump did something voters are told never to expect from politicians: He meant it.

And on the one-year anniversary of his presidency, the polls aren’t judging his performance.
They’re measuring America’s discomfort with getting exactly what it voted for.

Victoria Beckham’s son claims she danced ‘inappropriately’ at wedding as rift deepens
Brooklyn Beckham is standing up for himself for the “first time” in his life and has no intention of reconciling with his family as he addresses the ongoing family feud publicly for the first time.
On Monday, Victoria and David Beckham’s oldest son took to Instagram and shared a lengthy statement about his relationship with his parents.
“I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private,” Brooklyn began. He said that his parents had gone to the press, which left him with “no choice” but to address the family rift publicly.
“I do not want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life. For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family,” Brooklyn wrote.
BROOKLYN BECKHAM AND NICOLA PELTZ MARRIED: A LOOK AT THEIR LAVISH WEDDING
He continued, “For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family [with] performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships. … Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they’ll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade.”
“I do not want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life.”
Brooklyn, 26, went on to say that his parents have “been trying endlessly” to ruin his relationship with Nicola Peltz, long before they tied the knot. He addressed the rumored feud that began between Nicola and Victoria after the former Spice Girl stopped designing her future daughter-in-law her wedding dress in the “eleventh hour.”
Brooklyn alleged David and Victoria “repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe” him into “signing away the rights to” his name.
VICTORIA AND DAVID BECKHAM’S FAMILY FRACTURED AS TENSIONS REPORTEDLY MOUNT WITH SON BROOKLYN AND WIFE NICOLA
“My holdout affected the payday, and they have never treated me the same since,” Brooklyn said. “During the wedding planning, my mum went so far as to call me ‘evil’ because Nicola and I chose to include my Nanny Sandra and Nicola’s Naunni at our table because they both didn’t have their husbands. Both of our parents had their own tables equally adjacent to ours.”
Brooklyn alleged that the night before his wedding, family members told him that Nicola was “not family.” He said his parents sent his brothers to attack him on social media before they blocked him last summer. Late last year, Brooklyn’s brother Cruz alleged that Brooklyn blocked their entire family on social media.
Brooklyn said Victoria “hijacked” his first dance at his wedding, which was in front of 500 guests at their Palm Beach, Florida nuptials in 2022. He said Marc Anthony called him to the stage at the time when he was scheduled to dance with his wife. Instead, Victoria was waiting for him at the stage for a dance.
“She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I’ve never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life,” Brooklyn said.
He explained that he and Nicola renewed their vows privately to “create new memories of our wedding day that brings us joy and happiness, not anxiety and embarrassment.”
Brooklyn continued making harsh claims about his family and said they “value public promotion and endorsements above all else.”

“Brand Beckham comes first,” he alleged.
“Family ‘love’ is decided by how much you post on social media, or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo opp, even if it’s at the expense of our professional obligations. We’ve gone out of our way for years to show up and support at every fashion show, every party and every press activity to show ‘our perfect family,'” he continued. “But the one time my wife asked for my mum’s support to save displaced dogs during the LA fires, my mum refused.”
The 26-year-old went on to address the narrative that his wife controls him. Brooklyn denied these claims.
“I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life. I grew up with overwhelming anxiety. For the first time in my life, since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared. I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose, and have found peace and relief,” he wrote.

Brooklyn’s lengthy statement concluded, “My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, press, or manipulation. All we want peace, privacy and happiness for us and our future family.”
Reps for David and Victoria did not respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Congress launches massive fraud probe starting with a pile of demands for Minnesota
EXCLUSIVE: Minnesota is going to be the first state that will be in the crosshairs of a groundbreaking and comprehensive congressional investigation into systemic social services fraud, waste and abuse, House Energy & Commerce Committee chairman Brent Guthrie told Fox News Digital.
Guthrie’s panel is demanding audits, provider records, fraud referrals, and internal communications dating back several years, signaling a deep dive into whether state officials ignored warnings or allowed fraud to flourish – while working with a major HHS sub-agency to help look into misuse of taxpayer dollars at a wide scale.
“The extensive fraud schemes being perpetrated in Minnesota have wreaked havoc on government-funded health programs,” the committee told Fox News Digital via a joint statement from Guthrie and Reps. John Joyce of Pennsylvania and Morgan Griffith of Virginia, both Republicans.
GREGG JARRETT: IF WALZ IS CHARGED IN MINNESOTA FRAUD SCANDAL, HIS BEST DEFENSE IS INCOMPETENCE
“We have an obligation to ensure finite taxpayer dollars are being used responsibly, and that the most vulnerable Americans are not being exploited to the benefit of fraudsters and foreign actors,” Guthrie, Joyce and Griffith added.
“This letter is the next step in the committee’s work to root out fraud and restore program integrity in our federal health programs nationwide.”
A source familiar with the investigation said Minnesota is likely only the beginning of federal intervention into what the committee dubbed “industrial-scale” fraud within, particularly, state-administered Medicaid programs.
MINNESOTA’S WELFARE FRAUD DISASTER EXPOSES A NATIONAL SYSTEM DESIGNED TO FAIL
“Minnesota is just the beginning,” the source said.
Staff on Guthrie’s committee were also party to recent briefings with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Justice Department.
In its letter to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minnesota Human Services Temporary Commissioner Shireen Gandhi, the committee said the Land of 10,000 Lakes is also under investigation from CMS, led by Administrator Mehmet Oz, on a number of fronts.

As Oz’s office conducts its own review, Guthrie is demanding Walz turn over extensive records and written answers on the current integrity of federally funded programs, including steps being taken to stop millions in fraudulent payments flowing out of Minnesota.
By the end of the month, Walz will also be expected to explain what measures have been put in place since 2019 to detect fraud, waste and abuse and what “enhancements” have been made over the past year, as the scandal came to the fore.
The committee also demanded to know what types of audits Medicaid-related programs are undergoing, the process for making criminal referrals for suspected fraud, what Gandhi’s agency is doing to sanction or disenroll fraudulent providers and how the state vets Medicaid Service Providers for compliance with federal law.

“Is DHS [the Minnesota Department of Human Services] revalidating all Medicaid providers amid recent state and federal indictments and prosecutions of fraud? If so, please provide details and any relevant documentation regarding this process and the status of those efforts? Does DHS collect data on Medicaid programs with abnormal or statistically significant increases in provider enrollment or claims over time, including programs which greatly exceed their estimated cost upon enactment?”
By the end of the month, the committee is seeking to compel Walz to also turn over all audits conducted that relate to 14 social services programs that the state previously deemed to be prone to “high-risk provider types” – or as some critics would say, ripe for use by fraudulent medical-service providers.
Some of the programs identified include adult companion services, mental health and rehab services, “community-first” services, night supervision services and recuperative care.

Guthrie, Joyce and Griffith are also seeking all communications between Walz, his staff and state Medicaid Commissioner John Connolly.
“The swath of criminal schemes coming to light in Minnesota include over-billing, false records, identity theft, and phantom claims in Medicaid social service and health programs for the elderly and disabled, people struggling with addiction, and homelessness,” Guthrie wrote to Walz.
The committee also claimed that whistleblowers were “willfully ignored” or had their concerns “suppressed” by the Walz administration, while those who tried to report fraud faced retaliation.

It also identified a handful of programs that had lower barriers to entry, and therefore would be attractive for fraudulent usage.
Guthrie said the 14 high-risk social services programs cost Minnesota nearly $4 billion in state and federal tax dollars.
“Ensuring Medicaid program integrity is critical to preserving access to vital health care services for those that need it most,” the letter read.

“Every dollar stolen from the Medicaid program by fraudsters is taken from children, pregnant women, the elderly, and people with disabilities.”

Matt Damon criticizes Netflix for altering films to accommodate distracted viewers
Actor Matt Damon claimed that Netflix requests that its films reiterate the plot “three or four times” in scenes to accommodate viewers on their phones.
Damon and his longtime friend and fellow actor Ben Affleck joined the “Joe Rogan Experience” on Friday to promote their new film “The Rip,” which premiered on Netflix that same day.
While discussing the film, Damon remarked on how viewers have a “very different level of attention” to Netflix movies they can watch at home compared to other films released in theaters. He added that Netflix has begun changing the filmmaking process to appease these distracted viewers.
MATT DAMON CONDEMNS ICE AFTER FATAL SHOOTING IN MINNEAPOLIS, CALLS OUT ‘LACK OF TRAINING’
“The standard way to make an action movie that we learned was, you usually have three set pieces,” Damon said. “One in the first act, one in the second, one in the third. You spend most of your money on that one in the third act. That’s your finale. And now they’re like, ‘Can we get a big one in the first five minutes? We want people to stay. And it wouldn’t be terrible if you reiterated the plot three or four times in the dialogue because people are on their phones while they’re watching.’”
“It’s really going to start to infringe on how we’re telling the story,” he added.
Affleck remarked that the Netflix crime drama series “Adolescence” didn’t make these kinds of changes and went on to become a success on the streaming service, though Damon called it the “exception” rather than the rule.
BEN AFFLECK AND MATT DAMON SAY POLICE ARE ‘UNDERAPPRECIATED’ AND ‘UNDERFUNDED’
“My feeling is just that it demonstrates that you don’t need to do any of that s— to get people, you know what I mean?” Affleck said.
Affleck was also less concerned about the threat of streaming services to the filmmaking process and emphasized that streaming was not an “existential threat” to the movie theater experience.
“It’s like supply and demand. People want to look at their phone. They can look at TikTok…they’re going to do that. I think what you can do is make s— the best you can. Make it really good, and you know people can still go to the movies,” Affleck said.
Fox News Digital reached out to Netflix for comment.
BEN AFFLECK DOWNPLAYS AI FEARS IN FILM INDUSTRY, SAYS ‘LAWS ALREADY EXIST’ TO PROTECT ARTISTS’ LIKENESS
During the podcast, both Damon and Affleck also called out cancel culture, claiming that it has been taken to an extreme level.
“I bet some of those people would have preferred to go to jail for 18 months or whatever and then come out and say, ‘No, but I paid my debt. Like, we’re done. Like, can we be done?’” Damon said about those who have been canceled. “Like, the thing about getting kind of excoriated publicly like that, it just never ends.”

Affleck said, “And to take any forgiveness out of it is a really f–ed up thing, because then it makes it impossible to actually go, ‘All right, yeah, I did that… That was wrong. I get it,’ You know, because it doesn’t matter. Once you’ve said you’ve done it, you become like an outcast.”
