13-year-old hit in chest, killed when firework goes off in hands, MN cops say
A teenager is dead after a firework hit him in the chest, killing him on the Fourth of July, Minnesota officials told news outlets. Deputies responded to a call for help at about 11 p.m. Friday, July 4, from Naytahwaush — a small community in Mahnomen County, the sheriff's office told WCCO. When deputies arrived, they located a 13-year-old boy who had no pulse and wasn't breathing, according to the outlet. First responders attempted life-saving measures, but the teen, identified as Michael Turner, was pronounced dead shortly after midnight, the sheriff's office told KSTP. Deputies say bystanders also performed chest compressions on Turner before first responders arrived, the station reported. According to deputies, witnesses say the boy was holding a 'large' firework and aiming it away from himself while it was lit, WDIO reported. However, the firework shot out backward, exiting from the bottom of the tube and hitting the teen in the chest, the sheriff's office said. An autopsy was scheduled and an investigation is underway, the station reported. Naytahwaush is a roughly 250-mile drive northwest from Minneapolis.

Cowboys WR Kavontae Turpin is arrested on two misdemeanor charges
During the slow time, NFL coaches dread that phone call. Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer has gotten one. Via CBS News Texas, Cowboys receiver Kavontae Turpin was arrested during Fourth of July weekend on a pair of misdemeanor charges. It happened on Sunday morning, in Allen, Texas. Turpin was booked for possession of marijuana and unlawful carrying of a weapon. His bond was set at $500. Both charges will trigger potential scrutiny under NFL policies. Marijuana doesn't result in the same punishment that it once did. However, he'll likely be subjected to enhanced testing and potential fines for positive tests. Suspensions are very rare, and very hard to earn, under the current substance-abuse policy. Turpin had his biggest in 2024, with 420 (coincidence, not irony) receiving yards. He also was the first-team All-Pro kick returner, with 904 yards, a 33.5-yard average per return, and a 99-yard touchdown. He also had 18 punt returns for 187 yards and a touchdown.
