I-TEAM: Why were Lorain officers shot? Still not clear
Lorain Officer Phillip Wagner was killed in the attack and was memorialized during a funeral at Rocket Arena last week.
Organizers of the lemonade stand said they want to show their support for the Lorain police in any way they can for Wagner and his injured brothers in blue, Officers Peter Gale and Brent Payne.
The group said all the funds raised on Sunday will go to the Lorain Charitable Donation and will be given out to the officers' families.

They have also started a GoFundMe called Lemonade for Lorain for those who couldn't make it out to the weekend event.

Trump threatens federal takeover of DC after attack on former DOGE worker
WASHINGTON (AP) — Two 15-year-olds have been arrested in Washington in connection with the attempted carjacking and beating of one of the most prominent members of the Department of Government Efficiency, renewing calls from President Donald Trump for the federal government to seize control of the nation's capital. The victim, Edward Coristine, nicknamed 'Big Balls,' was among the most visible figures of Trump's DOGE, which was tasked with slashing federal bureaucracy. Coristine was assaulted around 3 a.m. Sunday in the city's Logan Circle neighborhood by a group of teenagers attempting to carjack him and a woman whom police identified as his significant other, according to authorities. The Metropolitan Police Department said the group approached the couple's car and made a comment about taking it. Coristine pushed the woman into the vehicle for safety and turned to confront the group. At least several of the teens then attacked him, police said, until officers patrolling nearby intervened. As officers moved toward the group, the teens fled on foot. Two 15-year-olds from Maryland were arrested on charges of unarmed carjacking, police said. The attack gave new fuel to long-standing Republican efforts to challenge Washington's autonomy, with Trump threatening to bypass local authority and impose direct federal control over the city. In a social media post and remarks at the White House on Tuesday, the president described crime in Washington as 'out of control.' 'If D.C. doesn't get its act together, and quickly, we will have no choice but to take Federal control of the City, and run this City how it should be run, and put criminals on notice that they're not going to get away with it anymore,' Trump said in a post on Truth Social. The District of Columbia has long served as a symbolic battleground in debates over crime and governance, and its lack of statehood has made it uniquely vulnerable to federal intervention. Republican leaders have frequently seized on episodes of violence to portray the city as a case study of violence in cities run by Democratic mayors, even as city officials note that violent crime overall is down more than 25% from the same period last year. Still, local officials have acknowledged in recent years that youth crime, particularly carjackings, remains a serious concern. Just last year, a 14-year-old was charged with killing a Lyft driver in a botched carjacking, and a significant portion of carjacking arrests in Washington involve juveniles. The Metropolitan Police Department said its investigation into the attack on Coristine remains active and additional suspects are still being sought. __ Balsamo reported from New York.

Police Records Detail Midtown Gunman's Mental Health Crises in Las Vegas
Police had twice visited the home of the gunman who killed four people in a Midtown Manhattan skyscraper in recent years over fears he was armed and suicidal, according to criminal records including 911 calls and body-camera footage. Shane Tamura, 27 years old, who last week sprayed bullets inside and around 345 Park Avenue, the midtown skyscraper that is home to private-equity firm Blackstone and the National Football League and other major corporations, was the subject of two mental-health crisis interventions by Las Vegas police in 2022 and 2024, and was arrested for trespassing at a Las Vegas Casino in 2023.
