[FoxNews] Multiple deputies were shot Wednesday while serving warrants and a protective order at a home in rural Pittsylvania County, Virginia.
The shooting was confirmed by Rep. John McGuire, R-Va., on social media.
"My thoughts and prayers are with the deputies who were shot in Pittsylvania County, as well as their families," McGuire said in a post on X. "We are closely following the situation and keeping everyone affected in our hearts during this difficult time."
Pennsylvania County Sheriff Mike Taylor said officers were met with gunfire when they approached the home and called for backup. Two deputies were hit by shrapnel and another was taken to ED out of an "abundance of caution" but has since been released, Taylor said.
A standoff ensued before the suspect eventually gave up and came out of the house on his own. The suspect, James Andru Lehnerd was taken into custody and is awaiting charges.
A large police presence remained at the scene late Wednesday in Gretna, near the border between North Carolina and Virginia.
[IsraelTimes] IDF says ‘dozens of terrorists’ attacked off-duty soldier and civilian amid ‘civil engineering work’ near Duma; soldier fired shot in response, terrorists tried to grab weapon
A Paleostinian man was shot to death by an off-duty Israeli soldier during a clash on Wednesday near the West Bank town of Duma, according to the military and Paleostinian media reports.
The Israel Defense Forces said the victim, identified by the Paleostinian Authority health ministry as Thameen Dawabshe, 35, threw stones at the off-duty soldier and an Israeli civilian.
According to the IDF, the incident took place during "civilian engineering work" near Duma. "Dozens of Paleostinian bandidossnuffies hurled stones at an off-duty IDF soldier and an Israeli civilian who were at the location," the military said.
Official PA news outlet WAFA quoted Duma’s mayor saying that the clash erupted in response to earthworks on village land carried out by Israelis in recent days.
The IDF said that the soldier initially had gun sex in response to the stone-throwing. "The bandidossnuffies continued to hurl stones, and in response, the soldier responded with live fire to remove the threat. A hit was identified," the military said.
"Following this, the bandidossnuffies attempted to snatch the soldier’s weapon," according to the military.
The military said that upon receiving a report of the incident, additional troops were dispatched to the scene.
The soldier and the civilian were lightly injured by the stones and were treated at the scene, according to the IDF and medics.
A video purportedly from the incident appears to show a man with a rifle open fire as a group of Paleostinians approach him. At least two gunshots can be heard in the short clip.

[IsraelTimes] Iran-backed group in Yemen claimed Tuesday to have launched six drones at Israeli targets; one was shot down, others likely fell short on the way
A ballistic missile launched by the Iran's Houthi sock puppets ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements.

The missile, which was detected shortly after 4 a.m., did not set off any warning sirens in Israel. The military said no alerts were activated "according to protocol," as the projectile was downed far from the country’s borders.
There were no reports of injuries or damage.
The Houthis did not immediately issue a statement on the missile attack.
Thursday’s missile fire was the first such incident since the Houthis attempted a drone attack on Israel on Tuesday.
In a statement Tuesday, the Iran-backed group claimed to have launched six drones at Israel, targeting "vital targets" in Haifa, the Negev Desert, Eilat and Beersheba.
"The operations successfully achieved their objectives, thanks to Allah," the Houthis claimed.
The IDF reported shooting down one drone off the coast of Eilat, which did not set off sirens in Israel’s southernmost city because it posed no threat. The other five drones likely fell short before reaching the country’s borders, as many Houthi projectiles have previously.
The Houthis held their fire when a ceasefire was reached between Israel and Hamas ..the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... in January 2025. By that point, they had fired over 40 ballistic missiles and dozens of attack drones and cruise missiles at Israel, including one that killed a civilian and maimed several others in Tel Aviv in July, prompting Israel’s first strike in Yemen.

[IsraelTimes] Police and Border Police officers last night arrested 42 Gazans who had been illegally residing in Israel, law enforcement officials say.
They were arrested in three separate hideout apartments in Nazareth by Northern District forces, as part of an operation aimed at “preventing illegal residency offenses.”
Officers first came upon an apartment with 28 illegal residents, which led them to two additional apartments–one with 11 residents and another with three. The Gazans were detained and transferred for questioning to the Nazareth police station.
Forces also confiscated a “commercial quantity” of goods whose ownership is unknown, police say, without specifying the nature of the seized property.
