[ABC] Morgan State University plans to build a wall around its campus following a shooting at the school that left five students injured.
In a Town Hall on Tuesday, Morgan State University President David Wilson said the wall will extend existing barriers by about 8,000 feet and encircle 90% of the campus — effectively "eliminating unfettered access," according to USA Today.
"We're doing this, let me be clear, not to keep out our neighbors and our community writ large — we are doing it to keep out the bad actors," Wilson said.
In addition to the wall, the school is also considering other possible upgrades, such as metal detectors, weapons detection technology, increased police patrols and security guard booths, USA Today said.
A proposal for the project will be submitted to Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, and is expected to cost more than $22 million.
Police seek help identifying suspects in Morgan State shooting
In terms of the shooting, police are still asking for the public's help in identifying suspects. Ballistic evidence and federal partners helped determine that two shooters were involved in the incident.
The Baltimore Police Department released a series of photos and videos of four suspects walking near the scene of the shooting that night.
[FOX5] DUNWOODY, Ga. - A suspected shoplifter left something important behind while trying to escape security at Perimeter Mall.
The Dunwoody Police Department shared a photo of a cell phone on Facebook yesterday, saying they wanted to reunite the lost device with its owner.
Police also said the person dropped the phone on Wednesday night while they were running away from mall security.
To make things even worse, police say the photo on the phone's lock screen matches the person seen on surveillance video stealing from one of the mall's stores.
No description or phone lock foto released.
[FOX5] ATLANTA - A woman armed with a knife was tackled and arrested after stabbing three people, including a police officer, at the south terminal of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on Wednesday afternoon. MAIL has video. Five other news sources provide nothing.
The call came in at around 4:45 pm. reporting the woman was outside the security checkpoint, near the west crossover. Atlanta Police say the woman stabbed a man somewhere in the area of the west crossover before moving into the south terminal.
"So, when we did encounter her, there had already been that stabbing that occurred," said Atlanta Police Sgt. John Chafee.
Police say officers began talking with the woman, trying to coax her into dropping the knife. Officers quickly surrounded her and tried to take her into custody.
As speculated, closer to a Paul Pelosi incident with a gay interaction
[Phil Inquirer] The family of Robert Davis, 19, who is accused of killing local journalist Josh Kruger, said that Davis was just 15 when he and Kruger began a years-long relationship involving drugs — and that Davis told them Kruger was threatening to post sexually explicit videos of him online before, police say, Davis shot Kruger. Those assertions by Davis’ mother and older brother in recent interviews with The Inquirer add troubling new complexities to a killing that has garnered national attention. Their account, they said, is drawn from recent conversations with Davis, and from the years of watching his life unravel as he tried to keep the relationship and his drug addiction hidden.
Kruger, 39, was killed after a man entered his Point Breeze home in the middle of the night, police said, and shot him seven times at the base of his stairs. Surveillance video near the scene and tips from Kruger’s friends and family led detectives to Davis, and a warrant was issued for his arrest a few days later. Police described the pair as acquaintances, and said Kruger "was trying to help [Davis] get through life."

Why am I not surprised?
IMO. Leftists are a mixture, on individual level, of conscienceless careerist and deeply flawed personality seeking to reduce the rest of the world to their own level.
[NYPOST] A Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, marketing firm linked to Bud Light’s disastrous tie-up with trans influencer Dylan Stench of Death Mulvaney ...the transexual influencer who single-handedly trashed a major American beer brand owned by a Belgian company, tainted Maybelline and Condé Nast, and then demanded that anybody who called him/her/it a man be arrested... has fired several top executives as part of a major restructuring, The Post has learned.
San Mateo-based Captiv8 — which canned 13 staffers in July after top brass returned from a lavish junket to the French Riviera, as The Post reported — axed 30 employees, roughly 20% of its workforce, in the latest round of layoffs, multiple sources told The Post.
It’s not clear whether Captiv8’s shakeup, which happened Sept. 28, was a direct result of the Mulvaney fiasco, which led to Bud Light losing its two-decade status as the nation’s top-selling beer.
"I’m guessing that Dylan Mulvaney contributed," one laid-off executive told The Post. "They weren’t laying people off before [April 1] ."
Bud Light parent Anheuser-Busch blamed a third-party marketer for sending the transgender influencer a can of of Bud Light featuring an image of Mulvaney, which she touted to her millions of social media followers on April 1.

...Sure as shiat didn't do it any good now, did it?

Question is, did any of the morons involved in the Bud debacle actually get canned, or is this just more "times are tough, we lost business cause we're stupid" stuff?

After the Bud Light fiasco, you do have to wonder what business in its right mind would hire Captiv8 to do its marketing.

I'll go with 'Free trip to the Riviera, acted like A-List fools, got fired'
"I’m guessing that Dylan Mulvaney contributed," one laid-off executive told The Post. "They weren’t laying people off before [April 1] ."
Bud Light parent Anheuser-Busch blamed a third-party marketer for sending the transgender influencer a can of of Bud Light featuring an image of Mulvaney, which she touted to her millions of social media followers on April 1.
As has been said, there are a thousand ad companies who could have put any of a thousand men's....faces....on their April 1st (natch) promo.
Seriously told a bunch of dudes who just got done mudding, hunting, fishing, whatever that if they do not understand this dude acting totally on his meds, then they are just not sophisticated enough for Bud Light.
The politicians telling them all to get back in the field and drink Bud Light was the second finger.
Can the president do this with his phone and pen, or does it require a bill from Congress? Regardless, this feels like he’s throwing spaghetti against the wall, hoping something sticks.
[NPR]. Many consumers are no strangers to added and surprise fees, from buying airline tickets to renting a car or ordering takeout.
These pesky charges are the target of new actions announced Wednesday by the Biden administration, which hopes to stamp out so-called "junk fees" and make it easier for buyers to know what they're paying and why.
Folks are ... tired of being taken advantage of, and being played for suckers," Biden said in remarks at the White House. Referring to the 2020 elections, Pudding-Head?
"These junk fees may not matter to the wealthy," he added, "but they sure matter to working folks in homes like the one I grew up in."
One sweeping measure announced Wednesday is a rule proposed by the Federal Trade Commission that would block companies throughout the economy from charging hidden and "bogus" fees, forcing sellers to disclose all mandatory costs up front.
The FTC could charge companies financial penalties for violating the rule, which backers say would allow consumers to compare prices more easily and level the playing field for businesses that display their total costs in advance.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is also ordering banks and credit unions to provide customers with basic information — such as their account balances — without charging fees.
Later this month, the CFPB will propose a separate rule that would force financial institutions to allow customers to easily share their information with other banks if they want to switch, the White House added.
Neil Bradley, executive vice president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said in a statement that the Biden administration's crackdown on "junk fees" would harm consumers.
"Every minute of every day, Americans engage in close to 400,000 transactions, buying and selling goods and services," Bradley said. "It is baffling that the administration believes it is going to help consumers by regulating how businesses price all of those transactions."
But consumer advocates applauded the administration's actions on the fees, which officials estimate cost buyers more than $64 billion each year.
It is clear that Americans across party lines are tired of being scammed and forced into paying worthless junk fees," Erin Witte, director of consumer protection at the Consumer Federation of America, said in a statement. Witte added that "junk fees" disproportionately affect low-income consumers and communities of color.
Chip Rogers, president and CEO of the American Hotel & Lodging Association, said in a statement that the organization would review the FTC rule but that it "supports creating a single standard for mandatory fee display across the lodging industry — from short-term rental platforms, where fees are most prevalent, to online travel agencies, metasearch sites, and hotels."
Earlier this year, Biden used part of his State of the Union speech to urge lawmakers to pass the Junk Fees Prevention Act, proposed legislation that would limit the excessive fees charged by companies.

This bill would actually be good for Americans, which means that it'll never happen as long as the democrats are in 'charge'!
[GEO.TV] Northwestern Afghanistan Wednesday was struck by a 6.3 magnitude earthquake, according to the German Research Center for Geosciences (GFZ),
The centre stated that the quake, which came in a series of jolts that shook similar parts of Afghanistan over the weekend, occurred at a depth of 10 kilometres, Rooters reported.
The epicentre of the quake was located approximately 29 kilometres towards the north of the country's Herat ...a venerable old Persian-speaking city in western Afghanistan, populated mostly by Tadjiks, which is why it's not as blood-soaked as areas controlled by Pashtuns... province, the United States Geological Survey mentioned.
There were no early details on casualties caused by the latest quake, disaster management front man Janan Sayeeq told Rooters.
Rescue teams and volunteers have been working on the ground since Saturday to locate the quake's survivors, which shook the province earlier, demolishing entire villages and affecting 12,000 people, the United Nations ...an idea whose time has gone... (UN) estimated.
Local and national officials have given conflicting counts of the number of dead and injured from the previous earthquakes, but the disaster ministry has said 2,053 people died.
"We can't give exact numbers for dead and maimed as it is in flux," said disaster management ministry front man Mullah Janan Sayeq.
There were no immediate reports of new casualties after Wednesday's quake, which hit near Herat city, home to more than half a million people.
The earlier earthquakes completely destroyed at least 11 villages in Herat province's Zenda Jan district, according to the United Nations.
"Not a single house is left, not even a room where we could stay at night," said 40-year-old Mohammad Naeem, who told AFP he lost 12 relatives, including his mother, after Saturday's earthquakes.
"We can't live here anymore. You can see, our family got martyred here. How could we live here?"
Local media reported that many Herat residents had been spending their nights living in tents in the open air due to a fear of aftershocks following the weekend tremors.
Providing shelter on a large scale will be a challenge for Afghanistan's Taliban ...Arabic for students... authorities, who seized power in August 2021, and have fractious relations with international aid organizations.
Afghanistan is frequently hit by deadly earthquakes, but the weekend disaster was the worst to strike the war-ravaged country in more than 25 years.
Most homes in rural Afghanistan are made of mud and built around wooden support poles, with little in the way of steel or concrete reinforcement.
Multi-generational extended families generally live under the same roof, meaning serious earthquakes can devastate communities.

[Regnum] The public debt of the United States in 2023 will grow to 123.3% of GDP, according to a report by the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
According to the IMF forecast, in 2024 the US national debt will increase to 126.9% of GDP, and in the future it will continue to increase and by 2028 will reach 137.5% of GDP.
For 2022, the IMF estimated the level of public debt of the United States at 121.3% of GDP.
As Regnum reported , according to the US Treasury Department, the country's national debt has grown by half a trillion dollars in less than a month since it reached a new historical high of $33 trillion.
The growth of the US national debt is not only dangerous, but has actually already doomed its economy to inevitable default on the horizon of the next 10 years, says the director of the Federal Methodological Center for Financial Literacy, Associate Professor of the Department of Global Financial Markets and Fintech at the Russian Economic University. G. V. Plekhanova Denis Perepelitsa.
As long predicted. If we could just stop Congress from madly spending on everything, we could fix it with a short, sharp shock....that would crash the entire world.
[NYPOST] Exxon Mobil agreed to buy U.S. rival Pioneer Natural Resources in an all-stock deal valued at $59.5 billion that would make it the biggest producer in the largest U.S. oilfield and secure a decade of low-cost production.
The deal, valued at $253 a share, combines the largest U.S. oil company with one of the most successful names to emerge from the shale revolution that turned the U.S. into the world’s largest oil producer in little more than a decade.
Exxon Chief Executive Darren Woods said in an interview the combination provides a big opportunity for synergies among the companies.
"We basically closed this deal fairly quickly," Woods said after approaching Pioneer’s Scott Sheffield two weeks ago, "and started talking about the complementary nature of both of our businesses."
The merged company could add 700,000 barrels per day of oil and gas (boepd) production within four years of the deal closing, to 2 million boepd.
It also aims to cut greenhouse gas emissions and increase oil output per well by combining Exxon technology with Pioneer’s lower cost of operations, Exxon said.

Pioneer Natural Resources was created in 1997 by the merger of Parker & Parsley Petroleum Company and MESA Inc., owned by T. Boone Pickens. In 2002, Pioneer made discoveries in its offshore Oooguruk field, west of Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. It has been the sky is the limit since then.

[REGNUM] A few days before the voting in the elections to the Sejm and Senate of Poland, which will take place next Sunday, October 15, a new controversial topic has unexpectedly emerged in the election campaign. On Tuesday, October 10, the Chief of the General Staff, General Raimund Andrzejczak (number one of the Polish Army) and the Chief of Operations Command, General Tomasz Piotrowski (number two), submitted their resignations to Polish President Andrzej Duda. Considering that a few months later both military leaders would have resigned in any case, their actions were assessed as a political demarche, and so assessed not only in Poland.
[RT] The US is running out of money for Ukraine unless Congress approves additional funding, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters on Wednesday.
"In the near term, we’ve got appropriations and authorities for both Ukraine and for Israel," Kirby said during the daily press briefing. "But you don’t want to be trying to bake in long-term support when you’re at the end of the rope."
"And in Ukraine, on the Ukraine funding, we’re coming near to the end of the rope," he added. "Today we announced $200 million, and we’ll keep that aid going as long as we can, but it’s not going to be indefinite."
Asked to define "near term," Kirby said he could not point to a specific date, because that depends on how quickly Ukraine and Israel expend their equipment and ammunition "or what the need is and what our ability to do it is."
[Breitbart] Brexit leader Nigel Farage said that the world needs Donald Trump ...His ancestors didn't own any slaves... back in office, pointing to the former president’s prediction in August that Biden’s Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... deal would have "deadly consequences" for Israel and the United States.
The attacks from the Paleostinian Islamist terror group Hamas ...a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",... on Israel, which began on the Jewish holiday of Shemini Atzeret on Saturday and have been described as the "worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust," have so far taken the lives of over 1,000 people, including at least 11 American citizens.
According to reports, the terror attacks against Israel were planned with the assistance of "Iranian security officials". This has led to increasing scrutiny of the Biden administration for signing off a payoff of $6 billion to Tehran in exchange for the release of five American hostages held in Iranian prisons. The White House has denied that it was a "ransom" payment, as the money was mostly Iranian oil profits that had been frozen in South Korean banks since 2019 when President Trump imposed a ban on oil exports from Iran and enacted sanctions on the Islamist nation’s banking sector.
While the funds have yet to reach Iranian hands, it has been noted that because money is fungible, Tehran may well have financially backed the attacks with the expectation of coming into possession of the $6 billion shortly. Iran has a long history of funding Hamas, with the American State Department estimating in 2020 that Tehran provides the Paleostinian terror organization over $100 million per year and has been described by Hamas leadership as their "largest supporter".
Responding to a resurfaced statement from former President Donald Trump, Nigel Farage wrote on social media on Tuesday: "Trump warned us in August that Biden’s capitulation to Iran would have deadly consequences. We need him back in charge."
[Modern War Institite] In 1966, John "Tilt" Meyer enlisted in the US Army and promptly violated a well-known adage to never volunteer for anything. He volunteered for Special Forces training. After completing in-country Special Forces training, he volunteered again, this time for an unknown assignment requiring a nondisclosure agreement and classified briefing to even learn the basics of the assignment. After signing, Tilt learned he was volunteering to join Military Assistance Command, Vietnam — Studies and Observations Group (MACV-SOG). MACV-SOG ran highly classified special operations missions deep into North Vietnamese, Cambodian, and Laotian territory. He had joined the secret war.
On one of Tilt’s first missions, an area reconnaissance of an important North Vietnamese Army site in Laos, his small team was quickly discovered. A harrowing firefight followed, after which he thought, "This is going to be a long war." Shortly thereafter, with only a few months’ experience, he became the team leader, taking the responsibility on his shoulders for the decisions made in the jungle. In this episode of The Spear, Tilt expands on some of the stories contained in his memoirs about combat operations "across the fence" in Laos and Cambodia.
