2 arrests in hit-and-run at Southern California ‘No Kings' protest
The SUV veered toward marchers Saturday night in Riverside, east of Los Angeles, and struck the woman, according to investigators. She remained hospitalized in critical condition, the Riverside Police Department said in a statement Tuesday.
After a search aided by tips from the public, police arrested the suspected driver, a 58-year-old Riverside man, on Monday, the police statement said. He could face charges including assault with a deadly weapon and hit-and-run causing injury.
Also arrested was a 39-year-old Riverside woman suspected of taking the SUV into an unincorporated area of the Mojave Desert and 'intentionally destroying and concealing evidence,' the statement said. She could face charges including accessory after the fact and destruction of evidence.
'No Kings' protests swept across the country on Saturday, and organizers said millions rallied against what they described as President Donald Trump's authoritarian tendencies.
Confrontations were largely isolated. In Utah, a demonstrator was inadvertently fatally shot by a 'safety volunteer' who was trying to stop an alleged gunman at the rally in Salt Lake City, according to police and organizers.
Outside the Arizona statehouse, a social media video showed protesters Saturday jeering at and then skirmishing with a masked man, who eventually pulled out a handgun, causing the crowd to scatter. Another video showed Arizona Department of Public Safety officers taking the man into custody.

Posts share hoax report Trump ordered 'total border shutdown'
"President Donald Trump order (sic) full borders shut down people may be locked out of the US," reads the caption of a Facebook reel shared on July 3, 2025. The video appears to show a news report featuring a voiceover that says the US president signed "one of the most extreme executive orders in US history", enacting a "total border shutdown" from July 1 with no set reopening date. "No one goes in, no one comes out. Not even legal residents with full documentation," it says. Similar videos were shared elsewhere on Facebook. "If this is true, it will be the end of tourism in America!" read a comment on one of the posts. Another said: "This reeks of martial law in America, they're getting strict. I hope this isn't true." The posts surfaced after Trump revived his first-term travel ban on June 4, barring entry to people from 12 countries, including Afghanistan, Iran, Libya and Somalia (archived link). The proclamation also covers Burma, Chad, Congo, Eritrea, Haiti, Sudan, Yemen and Equatorial Guinea. The list results from a January 20 executive order Trump issued requiring the departments of State and Homeland Security and the Director of National Intelligence to compile a report on "hostile attitudes" towards the United States and whether entry from certain countries represented a national security risk. Trump issued an executive order during his first term in January 2017 banning travel to the United States by citizens of seven predominantly Muslim countries -- Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen. But as of July 13, there have been no official reports or announcements from either the White House or the US Federal Register announcing a "total border shutdown" (archived here and here). A reverse image search on Google using keyframes from the falsely shared video led to the same clip posted on June 29 by a user who frequently posts misinformation about US politics framed as "breaking news". Further reverse image searches found the clip of Trump holding up a signed executive order was also posted on CBS News's Instagram on May 20 (archived link). "President Trump signed a bipartisan bill into law that makes it a federal crime to post real and fake sexually explicit imagery online of people without their consent," reads the video's caption. An analysis of the audio used in the false posts using the Hiya voice cloning detection tool from The Verification Plug-in (formerly known as InVID-WeVerify) found it was "very likely AI-generated". AFP has debunked other misinformation related to Trump here.

‘I'm devastated and heartbroken.' Grandmother of Hershall Creachbaum speaks; ID from coroner's office pending
DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — The grandmother of the missing 8-year-old boy, Hershall Creachbaum — who is assumed to be the boy whose body was discovered last evening — has told 2 NEWS about how this tragedy has affected her. 'I'm lost for words, my innocent grandson's life was taken by a monster,' wrote Missy Rowland Creachbaum. 'I want justice, I'm devastated and heartbroken.' She continued and named a possible suspect and person close to them. 2 NEWS is choosing not to name either until official confirmation from law enforcement. 'I haven't slept, I can't close my eyes,' wrote Rowland-Creachbaum. 'I see my baby boy, then [Person A and Person B's] faces pop up, so I can't close my eyes.' Recently, a person of interest was taken into custody after Dayton Police and Fire discovered a body believed to be a missing 8-year-old. The Montgomery County Coroner's Office will make the final determination as to whether the body is that of Hershall Creachbaum, who had been missing since early Saturday morning. Officials said Creachbaum, a non-verbal person with autism, went missing from the 400 block of Xenia Avenue at approximately 3:30 a.m. He uses a wheelchair but can walk short distances. The wheelchair had been found previously. The investigation remains active and ongoing. 2 NEWS is following the situation closely. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Boos and applause for Trump at FIFA Club World Cup final
US President Donald Trump (R) attended the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup final football match between England's Chelsea and France's Paris Saint-Germain with his wife Melania (L) (Brendan SMIALOWSKI) Donald Trump experienced the agony and the ecstasy of football on Sunday as he was booed at the final of the FIFA Club World Cup -- even as he joined in some high-spirited celebrations with champions Chelsea. The US president was front and center as the winners took to the stage, grinning broadly in his red tie and clapping and jumping with the players as the jubilant Blues lifted the gleaming trophy, which he had presented to captain Reece James. Advertisement But moments earlier, loud booing could be heard among cheers and applause as Trump walked onto the pitch for the presentation with FIFA president Gianni Infantino -- before the music in the stadium was turned up. Earlier, the Republican billionaire was also applauded as he and First Lady Melania Trump arrived for the match at the MetLife stadium in New Jersey, just outside New York City. But when a jumbotron screen briefly showed Trump saluting to the US national anthem, yet more boos could be heard in the giant stadium, before the camera quickly cut away. The scorn did little to dampen the president's spirits as he handed out trophies to the star players including the Golden Ball for best player to Cole Palmer, followed by handshakes and medals to the defeated Paris Saint-Germain. Advertisement He later called the crowd "tremendous." "We had a great time," he told reporters as he landed at Joint Base Andrews outside the US capital Washington after the match. The Republican's appearance at the game also came on the first anniversary of the assassination attempt that he survived at an election rally in Pennsylvania. Trump has made no secret of his desire to use this year's club championship and next year's 2026 World Cup as symbols of the "Golden Age of America" during his second term in the White House. Next year's World Cup, the final of which will be held at the same stadium, will coincide with the 250th anniversary of America's independence. Advertisement Trump has even set up a White House task force to ensure next year's championship -- hosted jointly with Canada and Mexico -- goes smoothly. - 'He loves it' - Trump has fostered a close relationship with Infantino, who has been a frequent visitor to the White House. The president has kept the Club World Cup trophy next to his desk in the Oval Office since the FIFA president dropped by in March. Infantino, who is no stranger to dealing with hard-nosed world leaders including Russia's Vladimir Putin ahead of the 2018 World Cup, thanked Trump for his support on Saturday. He said Trump had "embraced immediately the importance of the FIFA Club World Cup, and of course of the World Cup next year." Advertisement Infantino also joked that Trump "certainly loves as well the trophy" -- whose gold-plated curves match the gilded makeover that the president has given the Oval Office. But Trump's fondness of football, or soccer as he would say, is also personal. The president's 19-year-old son Barron is a fan, as Infantino pointed out in a press conference at FIFA's new office in Trump Tower in New York on Saturday. Asked if Trump liked the game, Infantino replied: "Well I think he does. In his first term as president of the United States, there was a soccer goal in the garden of the White House. Advertisement "He then explained to me that his son loved football, and that he loved the game. And of course when you are a parent, you love what your children love, so I think that he loves it." As a boarding school student at the New York Military Academy, Trump himself also reportedly played the game for a season. - 'Go home' - But in typical form, Trump has also mixed political controversy with his football fandom. Hosting Italian side Juventus in the Oval Office in June, he delivered a diatribe on transgender people in sports before asking the players: "Could a woman make your team, fellas?" Advertisement Most of the players looked bemused before Juventus general manager Damien Comolli replied: "We have a very good women's team." "He's being very diplomatic," said Trump. Trump's hardline immigration crackdown -- part of his "America First" policy -- has meanwhile sparked fears that football fans will be discouraged from coming to the United States for the 2026 World Cup. In May, Vice President JD Vance said that fans would be "welcome to come... but when the time is up, they will have to go home." dk-st/
