Multiple Incidents Dominate News Cycle: Arrests, Violence, and Tragedy
Dedham, MA/Tumbler Ridge, BC/West Bank - February 13, 2026 - A wave of significant events unfolded on Friday, including the arraignment of New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs on strangulation charges, a mass shooting in British Columbia, and escalating violence in the West Bank. These incidents, reported by multiple news outlets, highlight a day of both legal proceedings and tragic loss.
Stefon Diggs was arraigned Friday morning in Dedham, Massachusetts, on charges of strangulation stemming from a December 2025 incident involving a private chef, according to ABC News. Diggs' attorney entered a not guilty plea on his behalf. The judge released Diggs on his own recognizance and ordered him to have no contact with the victim.
Meanwhile, in British Columbia, the aftermath of a school shooting continued to unfold. The suspect, an 18-year-old, had previously created a mass shooting simulator on the gaming platform Roblox, The Guardian reported. The platform has since removed the account. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney was scheduled to join mourners in Tumbler Ridge, where families were grieving the loss of nine lives, including the shooter. "The tears just keep flowing," said Sarah Lampert, the mother of one of the victims, according to The Guardian.
