Hero Counselor Died Saving Campers in Texas Floods

The parents of 19-year-old Katherine Ferruzzo, who died in last summer's Texas floods while working as a counselor at Camp Mystic, are demanding changes at the camp, according to CBS News. Ferruzzo was one of 27 people who died at the camp and over 135 people who died across the Texas Hill Country during the devastating floods. Her mother, Andrea Ferruzzo, told CBS News that Katherine "died a hero. She gave her life trying to save those little girls."

The tragedy occurred during the Fourth of July weekend when floodwaters swept away Katherine, her co-counselor Chloe Childress, and 25 campers, as reported by CBS News. Less than a year later, Camp Mystic is enrolling children with plans, according to CBS News.

In other news, the mother of the late Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny, Lyudmila Navalnaya, stated that the assessment her son died of poisoning has validated her belief that he was murdered, as reported by BBC World. Navalny died in 2024. The UK and European allies released a statement on Saturday, stating Navalny was killed using a poison developed from a dart frog toxin, and that "only the Russian state had the means, motive and opportunity to deploy this lethal toxin," according to BBC World. Navalnaya visited her son's grave in Moscow on Monday, the second anniversary of his death, and said, "We knew that our son did not simply die," according to BBC World.

Meanwhile, in Tucson, Arizona, the disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, the mother of "Today" co-host Savannah Guthrie, has garnered international attention, according to Fox News. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos indicated that her home was viewed as a crime scene and that she had been removed from it against her will, according to Fox News.

Also, Montana Governor Greg Gianforte and Attorney General Austin Knudsen are launching an investigation into potential violations of a statewide ban on sanctuary cities and sanctuary-jurisdictional policies, according to Fox News. They are pledging zero tolerance for failure to cooperate with federal immigration authorities.

Finally, former President Barack Obama stated that the Democratic Party needs to elevate a younger generation of candidates if it wants to win at the ballot box in the 2026 midterm elections and beyond, according to Fox News. Obama, who was 47 when first elected president in 2008, warned that older politicians can "age out" and lose a crucial connection to a younger electorate, according to Fox News.
