Good Samaritan Grabs Gun, Halts Ice Rink Shooter

A deadly shooting at a Rhode Island ice rink left three dead, while the US military conducted strikes on alleged drug boats, resulting in 11 fatalities. Additionally, the UK's High Court overturned a ban on the Palestine Action group, and a report claimed Kenyan authorities used Israeli technology to access an activist's phone.

In Pawtucket, Rhode Island, a shooter identified as 56-year-old Robert Dorgan, also known as Roberta, killed his ex-wife and son at a high school hockey game before taking his own life. Michael Black, who was in the bleachers, recounted his experience to WCVB 5, stating he initially mistook the gunshots for balloons popping before realizing the danger. Black's immediate reaction was to tell his wife to run before he "went for the gun."

Meanwhile, the US military targeted three alleged drug-smuggling boats in the eastern Pacific and Caribbean, resulting in the deaths of 11 individuals. This action, part of a campaign against alleged traffickers, brought the total fatalities from US strikes to 145 since September.

In other news, the UK's High Court ruled that Palestine Action should not have been proscribed as a terrorist organization. This decision has implications for the thousands of Britons arrested in connection with the group and the future of Palestinian solidarity in the UK.

Separately, a report indicated that Kenyan authorities used Israeli technology to access the phone of Boniface Mwangi, a prominent Kenyan pro-democracy activist. According to the report, Cellebrite software was used to break into Mwangi's phone while he was under arrest. Mwangi, who plans to run for president in 2027, noticed that one of his phones was no longer password protected after it was returned to him by authorities.

In unrelated news, an advertisement for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 was banned by the UK's advertising regulator for trivializing sexual violence. The commercial, which featured fake officers at an airport security check, was deemed "irresponsible and offensive" by viewers.
