From Rushdie's Resolve to LA's Riot: Shocking Week Grips Nation

News Article

Salman Rushdie Reflects on Terrorism After Near-Fatal Stabbing; Protests Erupt in Los Angeles; Other News

Author Salman Rushdie is sharing his story following a near-fatal stabbing attack in 2022, while protests in Los Angeles turned violent after a march against immigration operations. In other news, a Virginia woman was strangled after dumping her boyfriend, and an Illinois police officer survived a severe health scare initially mistaken for a muscle cramp. Former CNN host Don Lemon was arrested in connection with an anti-ICE protest.

Rushdie, 78, premiered "Knife: The Attempted Murder of Salman Rushdie" at the Sundance Film Festival, more than three years after the attack. He told The Wrap that he felt the incident was not just about him, but about principles at stake, and that people should see what a terrorist attack looks like up close, according to Fox News.

In Los Angeles, thousands of protesters marched through downtown as part of a national call to action following fatal shootings in Minneapolis by federal immigration officers and a surge in immigration operations across the U.S., CBS News reported. Demonstrators gathered in front of LA City Hall on Friday afternoon and marched into Boyle Heights. A large group settled outside the Edward R. Roybal Federal Building, where protesters threw items at federal agents dressed in riot gear, according to CBS News.

Meanwhile, former CNN host Don Lemon was arrested on Friday for his involvement in livestreaming a disruption at St. Paul's Cities Church service led by anti-ICE protesters, Fox News reported. Lemon has maintained he was at the church as a journalist, not as a protester. Fox News noted Lemon's history of anti-ICE rhetoric.

In Virginia, Katlyn Lyon Montgomery was found unconscious in her apartment and later died, CBS News reported. First responders initially suspected a drug overdose, but investigators uncovered that Montgomery had been murdered. Her roommate, Jacob Piercy, had called 911 after Montgomery's daughter, Milani, alerted him that there was something wrong with her mother. Medical staff noticed injuries on her head and neck when she arrived at the hospital in the early morning hours of Jan. 7, 2022, according to CBS News.

In Illinois, Detective Sergeant Chris Johnson of the Bartlett police force experienced a health scare he initially thought was a muscle cramp, CBS News reported. Johnson, who knew he had a family history of high blood pressure, stayed active and ate well. One Sunday in March, he felt a chest ache shortly after lying down. "I didn't feel nauseated, headache, or anything," Johnson told CBS News. "I remember getting really hot. I went to my kitchen, and then I basically collapsed." His wife found him and called for help.
