No charges in killing of ex-basketball star accused of road rage, PA officials say
A driver accused of fatally shooting a former college basketball star during a road rage incident was legally justified in his actions, Pennsylvania officials said. The Lehigh County District Attorney's Office said July 21 that no charges would be filed in the July 6 shooting death of Tamir Johnson, a former standout for the Division II Kutztown University basketball program. Johnson, 35, was driving an Audi in Allentown on July 6 when investigators said he overtook the driver of a Prius, then forced the Prius to the curb. Prosecutors said Johnson got out of his car and approached the other driver with a metal bat, then used it to strike the driver's side door. The driver of the Prius, who was legally allowed to carry a gun, shot Johnson, who then dropped the bat, the district attorney's office said. Johnson was taken to a hospital and died from his injuries, prosecutors said. The Prius driver was not publicly identified because no charges were filed. 'Pennsylvania law states in relevant part that the use of deadly force is justified under certain extreme circumstances,' officials said. 'Deadly force is justified when a person reasonably believes such force is immediately necessary to protect himself against death or serious bodily injury when the person against whom the force is used displays or uses a weapon that is readily or apparently capable of lethal use.' Because Johnson swung the bat with lethal force, prosecutors said the Prius driver was justified under the state's Stand Your Ground law. The Prius driver remained at the scene following the incident and cooperated in the investigation. Johnson played for Kutztown University from 2009 to 2011 and is among the program's all-time leaders in field-goal percentage. 'Tamir was a stalwart leader and quiet giant,' the program said in a July 6 post on Facebook. 'We will miss his positive impact on us and his wonderful smile.' He had plans to return to the university to pursue a master's degree, his family said in a statement to the district attorney's office. 'Johnson was so much more than a moment of conflict,' his family said in a statement. 'He was the father of three beautiful children, a devoted partner, a son, a brother, a nephew and a loyal friend.' Allentown is about a 65-mile drive northwest from Philadelphia.

East Lothian children's worker mocked child and said another 'reeks of cat pee'
An East Lothian children's practitioner mocked a child and told a colleague another youngster 'smelt like cat pee'. Avril Davidson was given a 12-month warning on her registration last week following a hearing with the Scottish Social Services Council in which several comments she about children in her care were referenced. While working as a practitioner in Musselburgh, Davidson said to a colleague: "look he's going to cry," referring to a child. Several months later, in February 2024, she refused to let a colleague help paint the kitchen, claiming she was a "liability."

The comment reportedly made the member of staff feel upset. On or around February 22, Davidson stated to a colleague that a child "reeks of cat p**h and has all week" in the presence of other children. The regulator noted how the comments made regarding the first child took place at an after-school club and all three incidents placed colleagues and children at risk of emotional harm. The council also told how Davidson has not cooperated with their investigation or shown any remorse or apologised for the pattern of behaviour. They wrote: "While in the after-school club you said to your colleague ZZ about child AA 'look he's going to cry', or words to that effect to mock AA. You later spoke to your colleague YY stating that she could not help paint the kitchen as she was a 'liability' or words to that effect, causing her to feel upset. "At a later date you said to your colleague XX that child BB 'reeks of cats p**h' or words to that effect which was said in the presence of other children. The misconduct placed both the children and your colleague at the risk of emotional harm. "Although it is not at the most serious end of the scale, we have concluded there is a risk of repetition as you have not engaged with the SSSC or shown any remorse or insight. You have not given us any reassurances that you have reflected and learned from the misconduct and that it is unlikely to happen again."
