Smirking thug films himself throwing explosives into crowded bar in St Louis
A man who was filmed smiling and laughing as he lit and threw large fireworks at multiple crowds of people in St. Louis is being investigated for bombing and arson after he proudly posted the video to social media. The suspect, who appeared in the clip titled STL BOMBER, is seen lighting the fireworks and lobbing them at unsuspecting people gathered on at outdoor patio and on the street over the Fourth of July weekend. He was also filmed tossing a firework from a moving car into a busy intersection. The camera captured each of the explosions, with the targets of his dangerous antics screaming and fleeing in terror. The unidentified bomber was accompanied by what appeared to be at least three accomplices who delighted in the attacks. The video opens with the man standing outside The Wheelhouse in Downtown St. Louis nervously bouncing while an accomplice yelled: 'He's not going to do that!' Moments later, he is seen holding a firework in his hand and lighting it before throwing it at a crowd of people on the outdoor patio. With a grin on his face, he tells the camera: 'We're going f***ing viral!' Later in the clip, he laughs: 'Everybody nice and comfy.' The group ran down the street after the bombing but made sure to get the explosion on film. The suspect was later filmed in a car, where he lit another firework and threw it into a neighboring lane as another car drove by. At a third location, he was shown lighting and launching another firework directly into a crowd on the street, causing several people to run in different directions before the explosion sent sparks flying high into the sky. It is unclear if anyone was injured in the attacks. At the end of the clip, the suspect is seen with his arms raised above his head in triumph. The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department put out a statement on Thursday showing images of the man and asking any potential victims to come forward. The post read: 'Anyone injured or who believes they are a victim of this suspect in this video should contact a Bomb and Arson detective.' A police spokesperson told the Daily Mail that the department is 'not requesting assistance identifying the suspect' and would not confirm whether he had been identified as of Friday morning. The spokesperson added: 'At this time, he has not been arrested or charged with a crime while our investigation remains ongoing.'

Openings: Waterside event center in Pasco + Kennewick's Slurpee King reimagined
An intriguing building perched above the Columbia River at the Port of Pasco's barge dock is now available for private gatherings. Wheelhouse Event Center, a partnership between Corina Manzano and Joey Jordan, renovated the vacant restaurant at 1350 S.E. Road 20 E., off Dock Street. Wheelhouse offers about 1,700-square feet and deck space next to the Columbia River for groups of up to 70 people. Manzano said it's already hosted a memorial service, small quinceanera celebration and has booked birthday parties, retirement gatherings and other groups. Manzano and Jordan will celebrate their new business with the Pasco Chamber of Commerce, which will hold a ribbon cutting and opening celebration from 3-6 pm., June 19. Manzano and Jordan both are Pasco natives and had long been intrigued by the deteriorating building that's practically over the water. It once housed a restaurant serving the marina area, but had fallen into disrepair. In it, they spied an opportunity to bring something fun to Pasco's east side that would complement the eventual development of homes and businesses at Osprey Pointe, which is nearby. They contacted the Port of Pasco, which owns it, about doing something. In time, the port advertised for contractors to repair the vacant structure. Manzano and Jordan both are general contractors. They submitted the lowest bid and jumped into the project. The building needed everything but a roof, Manzano said. They replaced floors, rebuilt walls, replaced the electrical and HVAC systems. The tore out the old restaurant kitchen, including walk-in refrigerator. They rebuilt bathrooms, constructed a kitchenette and repainted everything. They hope to eventually replace the aging docks. For now, they're in precarious condition and are off limits to guests.

This one-off special brings Giada together with Erick Garcia, a top-tier interior designer, as they work side by side to surprise deserving families with their dream kitchen makeovers.

From updating cramped cooking spaces to installing state-of-the-art appliances and beautiful, functional layouts, each makeover is meant to change how families cook, connect, and live. Cast and crew details Giada De Laurentiis – Host and Executive Producer Erick Garcia – Designer, Co-Host Mary Beth Anderson – Showrunner and Executive Producer Courtney White, Deanna Markoff, Liz Fine – Executive Producers Production Companies – Butternut (a Wheelhouse company) and Amazon MGM Studios A new chapter for Giada This special marks an evolution for Giada De Laurentiis, who left the Food Network in 2023 after more than two decades.

That energy and passion are all over Giada In My Kitchen - it's a feel-good watch that's as much about people as it is about pantries.

New music: Blake Shelton, Blondshell, Ingrid Laubrock, Elation Pauls
Blake Shelton For Recreational Use Only (Wheelhouse) Blake Shelton's 13th studio album opens with a fitting declaration for both his latest project and the current state of his career: Stay Country or Die Tryin'. It would be more accurately phrased like a question. At this stage, Shelton is a longtime veteran of Hollywood on The Voice stage with a pop superstar wife in Gwen Stefani, far removed from his Nashville roots, all while maintaining the position of one of the most high-profile country stars of the current moment. But if country is a lifestyle and an image beyond its musical forms — saying nothing of the opening track's arena-sized rock elements — is he staying true to some ethos? Is Shelton speaking diaristically when he sings, 'Boots ain't never seen easy street,' in the album's opening verse? Perhaps not. In 2025, he performs between worlds, but no matter. He's long dedicated himself to big country radio hits and returns to those roots across For Recreational Use Only. The songs here concern themselves with lived-in bars (Cold Can) and backroad acuity (Life's Been Comin' Too Fast.) Charms are found across the release, like in the honky-tonk happy Texas, and its cheerful reference to George Strait's classic All My Ex's Live In Texas, or the big-hearted and big-voiced ballad on God and grief, Let Him In Anyway. Collaborations are few and pointed. Shelton and Stefani harmonize beautifully on Hanging On; he does the same with Craig Morgan on Heaven Sweet Home, an affecting meditation of mortality. He taps Josh Anderson for the slow-burn closer Years. Shelton might live a very different life than the characters found in his songs, as is often true of any larger-than-life celebrity performer, but make no mistake, this is a giant pop-country record with limitless potential for radio ubiquity. ★★★ out of five Stream: Cold Can; Stay Country or Die Tryin' — Maria Sherman, The Associated Press Blondshell If You Asked for a Picture (Partisan) Sabrina Teitelbaum, who records under the band name Blondshell, is a longtime student of alt-rock. She knows a thing or two about all the ways in which a cutting lyric and thunderous guitar can rejuvenate the soul and soundtrack rage. On her sophomore album, If You Asked for a Picture, she builds from the success of her earlier work — 2023's self-titled debut and its haunting single Salad. Over the course of 12 tracks, Blondshell reckons with a woman's role in her various relationships, personally and societally. Those messages — gritty, real, existential and fluid as they are — arrive atop visceral instrumentation, hearty guitars and punchy percussion. Much of the album sits at the intersection of modern indie, '90s grunge and '80s college radio rock, like that of Event of a Fire. On the acoustic fake-out Thumbtack, instrumentation builds slow and remains restrained. Man is muscular, with its soaring distortion and layered production. On If You Asked for a Picture, relationships are nuanced, awkward and honest — her flawed and frustrated characters show how easy it is to succumb to the whims of someone who doesn't have your best interest in mind, to become someone else when you don't know who you are. If there is a main weakness it is that a number of the tracks bleed together sonically near the record's end, making it hard to distinguish a three-song run: Toy to Man. Fans will likely label it stylistic consistency rather than tiresome repetition. There's a lot to love here, though. T&A, Model Rockets and the palm-muted power chords of What's Fair warrant repeat listens. The swaying mellotron of Model Rockets things and might serve as a mission statement for the album — where identity and desire are malleable, influenced by relationships and the evolving nature of the world, made more complicated by simply being a woman in it. ★★★½ out of five Stream: What's Fair; T&A — Rachel S. Hunt, The Associated Press Ingrid Laubrock Purposing The Air (Pyroclastic) Ingrid Laubrock is a terrific saxophonist who is not playing on her second release; instead, she has written and produced one of the most unique and fascinating albums in recent memory. The album has 60 brief tracks called koans. A koan is defined as 'a story, dialogue, question or statement from Chinese Buddhist Lore, supplemented with commentaries, that is used in Zen Buddhist practice in different ways.' Laubrock has created 60 brief moods as koans, all fragments from the poetry of Erica Hunt. To present them, she has miniature phrases of the poems delivered by four duets: vocalist Fay Victor with cellist Mariel Roberts; vocalist Sara Serpa with pianist Matt Mitchell; vocalist Theo Bleckmann with guitarist Ben Monder; and vocalist Rachel Calloway with violinist Ari Streisfeld. This might sound confusing but the impact is extremely powerful. The range of moods and musical accompaniments is extraordinary. With each duo getting 15 koans, there is wide room for experimentation. From intense repeated words to humorous riffs ('Catch the ball and now I throw it') the surprises are endless. Most of the koans are several minutes at best and while perhaps wanting more, the whole mood is then spun out of shape with a totally different idea. The vocalists are very different and the duet partners are tied in beautifully. For example Koan 5 with Serpa/Mitchell makes 1:37 seem just the right length. Bleckmann's vocals, as the only male singer, make a different sense of the concept. Figuring out how to listen to this album is an important decision. It can sound different the second time through while initially captivating the listener. Cello, piano, guitar and violin work well with the poetic fragments Laubrock has chosen. To my ear, the least successful is the classically trained voice of Calloway. While beautiful, it seems to overpower the moods of the koans, but this is a small comment in an album of challenging and complex music. Expect a new experience. ★★★★½ out of five Stream: Koans 1, 16, 31, 46 — Keith Black Elation Pauls Sustenance (Spektral) Canadian violinist Elation Pauls celebrates her inaugural recording with Sustenance, a self-curated program on Germany's Spektral label featuring nine contemporary chamber works for solo violin and piano, including several commissioned world premières by prominent national composers. What becomes clear in this labour-of-love project born in the crucible of the global pandemic is its fearless sense of adventure. Pauls, who serves as the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra's assistant principal second violin, immediately displays her expressive artistry in such arresting works as Iman Habibi's Offering of Water. Another is Kelly-Marie Murphy's Fire-and-Ice-Bodied-Doubled-Up-Withdrawal-Anxiety, its driving moto perpetuo figures conjuring the (frankly) uncharted craziness of those unprecedented COVID-19 days. Particular highlights include David Braid's lushly lyrical The Interior Castle and Without Words, as well as Serouj Kradjian's deeply poetic Sari Aghtchig (Girl from the Mountain), derived from a folk melody from his Armenian homeland that enthralls, with Pauls joined by the two composers on piano during their respective pieces. For those who appreciate more narrative-based works, there is Karen Sunabacka's Jack the Fiddler, based on her maternal grandfather Jack's rediscovery and healing through Red River Métis culture, with the Manitoba-born composer also serving as storyteller. Cris Derksen's Country Food similarly features a thoughtful narration regarding Indigenous food sovereignty as a timely topical issue, punctuated by Pauls's dramatic flourishes. The ambitious album is capped by a second Kradjian offering, Tango Melancolico. The internationally renowned composer, now on piano, and Pauls hold nothing back in this passionate ride into the heart of tango; the highly stylized dance fuelled by lyrical passagework and syncopated rhythmic accents seemingly mirroring the intense emotionalism of those gone-but-never forgotten pandemic years that changed us all forever. ★★★★½ out of five Stream: Sari Aghtchig; Tango Melancolico — Holly Harris
