Officers further added that they believe Arthuro Gamboa is the suspect. The 24-year-old was allegedly spotted by two men, who are believed to be designated peacekeepers.

Gamboa was located, hiding in the crowd. Officers also recovered an AR-15-style rifle, a gas mask, and a backpack. He was treated at a hospital for his injuries and then booked into the Salt Lake County Metro Jail.

Multi-millionaire dies after being mauled, trampled by elephant at luxury safari in South Africa
The co-owner of one of South Africa's most luxurious game reserves was trampled to death by an elephant while attempting to move a herd away from tourist lodges. Francois Christiaan 'FC' Conradie, 39, was attacked by a bull elephant at around 8 am on July 22 while managing a herd inside Gondwana Private Game Reserve, a five-star park he owned which was popular with celebrities and wealthy tourists. The six-ton bull charged without warning, mauled him with its tusks, then stamped on him repeatedly. Rangers were unable to intervene. The attack took place while the £900-a-night lodges were full. It is not known whether guests at the park witnessed the killing. Conradie was CEO and co-owner of the 27,000-acre reserve near Mossel Bay, a four-hour drive from Cape Town. He also ran the Caylix Sport management company and held honours degrees in zoology, animal studies, commerce, and marketing. Staff described him as 'a great guy to work for' who had a 'trust' with the elephants and often photographed them. His wife of ten years, La-ida, 33, and their three young sons, aged 6, 11, and 12, were notified soon after. The family lives in Stellenbosch, where La-ida works for the global accounting firm Moore Stephens. The reserve has experienced a similar tragedy before. In March 2024, a 36-year-old ranger, David Kandela, was killed in nearly identical circumstances. He was guiding a herd through the Eco Tent Lodge area when an elephant attacked. Kandela was gored repeatedly, dragged into the bush, and dismembered by other elephants. Only his head and torso were recovered. A close friend of Kandela later said the reserve failed to contact David's wife and 10-year-old son, who only learned of his death via Facebook. 'She and Damian were left with nothing in compensation… not even offered counselling,' the friend said. Rangers at the time had no firearms, only stones to try to stop the elephant. Both elephants that killed Kandela and Conradie are believed to be from the same herd, long considered a tourist favourite due to its seemingly docile behaviour. A Gondwana staff member told reporters that since Conradie's death, 'everybody has been warned to say absolutely nothing or they will be out the same day. It is a big clamp down.' The reserve has not publicly commented on the specific incident. A company statement confirmed Conradie's death, calling it 'a tragic incident' that 'has shaken us all.' It added, 'Our full support is first and foremost with his wife and family… many of (our staff) have lost both a leader and a friend.' Police spokesperson Warrant Officer Kappie Kapp confirmed that an inquest has been opened. This is only the latest in a string of fatal elephant encounters in southern Africa. Earlier this month, two tourists, Easton Taylor, 68, from the UK, and Alison Taylor, 67, from New Zealand, were killed by a female elephant with a calf in Zambia's South Luangwa National Park, despite guides firing warning shots. In January and February, a ranger and a tourist died in elephant stampedes. African bull elephants can weigh up to six tons, stand 13 feet tall at the shoulder, run at speeds up to 25 mph, and are responsible for an estimated 500 deaths across the continent each year.

South Park skewers Trump over Epstein files, puts him in bed with Satan in controversial new episode
'South Park' is back with a new season and this time it kicked off with an provocative episode centred on US President Donald Trump. The new season opened with the episode titled 'Sermon on the Mount', which covers everything from Trump's presidential run to his lawsuit with Paramount, wokeness, Trump's attacks on Canada, and the recent cancellation of The Late Show hosted by Stephen Colbert. The premiere episode, 'Sermon on the Mount,' sees Trump in bed with series regular Satan, along with references to Jeffrey Epstein. In a mock ad for Trump made by the South Park characters in the episode's final minutes, a live-action Trump was shown running through the desert. Sweating and exhausted, Trump took off his clothes and laid down naked on the sand. ALSO READ: Over 6 lakh Facebook, Instagram accounts gone overnight in Meta's massive purge.

One can also see a deepfake of Trump walking naked across the desert, and interestingly the entire episode is based on the idea of having Jesus in the schools of South Park. — RpsAgainstTrump (@RpsAgainstTrump) Earlier, the episode repeatedly showed cartoon Trump naked in bed with Satan, who rejects his sexual advances and comments on the size of his genitals. 'Come on, Satan, you know you can't resist this,' Trump said, pulling down the covers to expose himself. Live Events 'I can't even see anything because it's so small,' Satan said. He looked away in disgust. The Season 27 premiere, 'Sermon on the 'Mount,' also mocked Trump's apparent tendency to sue anyone who criticizes him for massive sums of money.

The season premiere was delayed due to ongoing negotiations between Paramount and the show's creators over a major streaming rights deal. When it finally aired, the show made an explosive comeback, also portraying Trump's interactions with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, touching on trade disputes and his controversial behaviour. In the episode, we also see Trump arguing with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, who complains about tariffs on Canada and says: "What are you, some kind of dictator from the Middle East?" After confusing Iran and Iraq, the "South Park" version of Trump tells Carney to 'relax," Politico reported. Trump is also depicted lining the walls of the White House with naked pictures of himself.

The start of the new season of 'South Park' was delayed by several weeks while the Paramount network secured a deal worth $1.5 billion with the show's creators for the streaming rights. Paramount is the owner of CBS, which has been firmly in Trump's crosshairs. The satirical animated show also referenced Trump's lawsuit against Paramount (Trump reached a $16 million settlement with Paramount Global, the parent of CBS News, over what he claimed was misleading editing of a pre-election interview with Democratic candidate Kamala Harris on the show '60 Minutes'). Days after that settlement, Paramount canceled 'The Late Show' hosted by Stephen Colbert, in what it said was 'purely a financial decision' and not because of performance or content. Colbert is a frequent critic of Trump.
