Police stopped the car on the road in Berlin and arrested Guichard and a companion, Kayla Keithan, 27, of St. Johnsbury. She was charged with being an accessory after the fact and will be arraigned Monday.
Guichard was jailed without bail at the Northeast Regional Correction Facility and is due for arraignment on Friday. The warrant issued for his arrest stated that he was wanted on a charge of attempted second-degree murder.

Israeli settler kills Palestinian activist who worked on Oscar-winning film
FacebookTweetLink A prominent Palestinian activist who had worked on an Oscar-winning documentary died on Monday after being shot by a Jewish settler in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, according to local journalists and officials. Odeh Hathalin, who was a consultant on 'No Other Land,' a film that documents Israeli settler and military attacks on the West Bank community of Masafer Yatta, was shot in the village of Umm al-Khair, in that same community. Israeli police said its forces arrived at the scene and detained an Israeli civilian, who was later arrested for questioning. Police did not identify the man they arrested. The Israeli military claimed that 'terrorists hurled rocks toward Israeli civilians near Carmel,' an Israeli settlement near Umm al-Khair. Hathalin's shooting was first reported by Yuval Abraham, the Israeli investigative journalist who co-directed 'No Other Land.' Abraham said Hathalin was 'shot in the upper body' and was in critical condition. Later, the Palestinian health ministry said he had died of his injuries. Many settlers are armed, and violence in the West Bank has surged since the Hamas attacks of October 7, 2023. At least 964 Palestinians have been killed since then by Israeli forces and settlers in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, according to the United Nations. Settlers have a strong influence on Israeli politics, and in the rare cases where they are arrested for violent attacks against Palestinians, they are often released without charge. Jewish settlements in the Israeli-occupied West Bank are illegal under international law. Ofer Cassif, a left-wing member of Israel's parliament, has demanded that authorities launch an investigation into Hathalin's death. 'The incident occurred in broad daylight, in front of cameras, with no fear of legal consequences – testament to the paralysis of law enforcement and the complete sense of immunity enjoyed by violent settlers,' Cassif wrote in a letter to Israel's Attorney General. Basel Adra, a Palestinian journalist and a co-director of 'No Other Land,' shared testimony to his 'dear friend' Hathalin. 'He was standing in front of the community settler in his village when a settler fired a bullet that pierced his chest and took his life. This is how Israel erases us – one life at a time,' Adra wrote in a post on Instagram. Last month, Hathalin was detained at San Francisco International Airport upon arrival and deported after immigration officials revoked his visa, local media reported. He had been invited to visit a California synagogue as part of an interfaith speaking tour. CNN reported in March that settlers had also targeted Hamdan Ballal, another co-director of 'No Other Land,' outside his home in the village of Susya, also in Masser Yatta. Ballal, who had recently returned from Los Angeles to accept an Oscar for the film, told CNN he thought the group of settlers would kill him. He was detained by Israeli soldiers, handcuffed, blindfolded and beaten. The film 'No Other Land,' which tracked the destruction of the Masser Yatta community between 2019 and 2023, won Best Documentary Feature Film at the 2024 Oscars. Its final scene shows Adra's cousin, Zakara al-Adra, being shot by an Israeli settler in October 2023. Previous reporting from CNN's Kara Fox, Kareem Khadder and Jeremy Diamond.

NYC flags at half staff for Officer Didarul Islam killed in Midtown Manhattan office shooting
New York City is mourning an NYPD officer and three other people killed in Monday's shooting inside an office building in Midtown Manhattan. Officer Didarul Islam was in uniform working an NYPD-authorized shift as a security guard for a private company at the time of the shooting, police said. The 36-year-old joined the department three and a half years ago and was assigned to the 47th Precinct in the Bronx. Investigators said he was killed when the gunman, Shane Tamura, walked into the lobby of the building at 345 Park Avenue with a high-power rifle and opened fire. Three other people were killed, and another person was hospitalized with critical injuries. Tamura also died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said. A dignified transfer was held overnight for the fallen officer. Community members, elected officials and local leaders lined the street with their hands to their hearts as Islam's body was taken away in an ambulance. New York City Mayor Eric Adams ordered all flags on city buildings to fly at half-staff in honor of Islam and the other victims. Islam was an immigrant from Bangladesh and his parents' only son. He was a husband and father of two boys, and his wife is pregnant with their third child. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul wrote on social media that he "represented the very best of New York." "Tonight we mourn four New Yorkers, including one of New York's Finest, taken in an act of senseless violence," Hochul wrote in another post. "Our hearts are with their loved ones and everyone affected by this tragedy, and we honor the first responders who bravely ran toward danger." Adams described Islam as an officer who loved his city and was a "true-blue New Yorker." "He was doing what he does best, and all members of the police department carry out. He was saving lives. He was protecting New Yorkers," Adams said in a late-night news conference. "He was an immigrant from Bangladesh and he loved this city. And everyone we spoke with stated he was a person of faith and a person that believed in God and believed in living out the life of a godly person. He embodies what this city is all about. He's a true-blue New Yorker, not only in a uniform he wore but in his spirit and energy of loving this city." NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said the department lost a brother, and the city is mourning all the innocent lives. "He was doing the job that we asked him to do. He put himself in harm's way, he made the ultimate sacrifice, shot in cold blood, wearing a uniform that stood for the promise that he made to this city," she said. "He died as he lived, a hero." Investigators are still trying to determine why the 27-year-old suspect targeted the building, which contains offices for Blackstone, the NFL, KPMG and others. Preliminary findings show the shooter drove across the country from Las Vegas to get to New York City, where he double-parked his car, walked inside and began the shooting rampage. Authorities said an M4 rifle was recovered, and Tamura was carrying a concealed firearms permit. Investigators believe he acted alone. According to law enforcement in Las Vegas, he had a documented mental health history. Prescription medications were also found in his BMW.
