Virginia Man Charged with Double Murder After Confronting Wife Over Infidelity

A Virginia man has been arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder after allegedly killing his wife and another man in a deadly domestic dispute.

Deadly Confrontation in Ridgeway

Police say 30-year-old Joshua Corbett Coleman shot and killed his 22-year-old wife, Mandy Coleman, during an argument about infidelity. The incident occurred in Ridgeway, Virginia, where Mandy lived with their two young children. Her body was found at the home with a fatal gunshot wound.

Second Victim Shot in the Street

Authorities responded to a separate report of a man shot in the road nearby. The victim, identified as 68-year-old William Leroy Morey, was pronounced dead at the scene with multiple gunshot wounds. Coleman reportedly told police he went looking for Morey to kill him because he “knew he was going to jail.”

Children Found Safe in Suspect’s Vehicle

Police arrested Coleman during a traffic stop around 2:40 p.m. and found the children inside his vehicle unharmed. He was reportedly armed with both a handgun and an AR-15 rifle at the time of the arrest.

Confession and Charges

According to a criminal complaint, Coleman admitted to both killings. He now faces multiple charges, including two counts of first-degree murder, use of a firearm in a felony, child abuse, and shooting from an occupied vehicle. He is being held without bond at the Henry County Adult Detention Center.

Community Shocked by Violence

Sheriff Wayne Davis called the incident “heartbreaking and tragic,” adding that the community is deeply affected. A $2,500 reward is being offered for information related to the crime as the investigation continues.

2-Year-Old Girl Accidentally Struck by Family Member

A heartbreaking accident occurred Saturday evening in southwest Houston, where a 2-year-old girl was accidentally run over by a relative in a parking lot at an apartment complex on Leonora Street.

Incident Happened During Grocery Unloading

According to the Houston Police Department, the family had just returned home and was unloading groceries around 9:54 p.m. when the child, who had been playing nearby with a sibling, ran behind a pickup truck. Unseen by the driver, the vehicle began to reverse and struck her.

Emergency Response Couldn’t Save the Child

Family members immediately stopped the vehicle, tried to help the child, and called 911. Paramedics from the Houston Fire Department rushed her to Texas Children’s Hospital, where she was later pronounced dead due to the severity of her injuries.

Police Say No Criminal Negligence Suspected

Authorities stated that the investigation is ongoing, but early findings suggest the incident was a tragic accident with no signs of criminal negligence.

US and EU Strike Last-Minute Tariff Deal

US and EU Strike Last-Minute Tariff Deal

The United States and the European Union reached a sweeping trade agreement Sunday, just days before a White House deadline to impose steep tariffs on European imports.

President Donald Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen finalized the deal during a private meeting at Trump’s Turnberry golf resort in Scotland.

Trump and von der Leyen Reach ‘Across the Board’ Agreement

Following their meeting, both leaders confirmed that an “across the board” deal had been reached. Trump called the negotiations “very interesting” and said the result would benefit both sides. Von der Leyen noted the significance of the agreement, saying it could be “the biggest deal each of us has ever struck.”

Tariff Threats Narrowly Avoided

The talks were designed to prevent punitive tariffs from going into effect August 1. Without a deal, the EU had promised to retaliate with tariffs on American products such as beef, auto parts, and Boeing aircraft. Trump previously suggested tariff rates similar to a recent 15% agreement with Japan but refused to consider anything lower.

Tense Trade Talks Amid Scottish Golf Tour

Trump’s meeting with von der Leyen came during a five-day trip to Scotland centered around golf and promotion of Trump-branded properties. He played rounds with sons Eric and Donald Jr. as small groups of both demonstrators and supporters gathered nearby.

EU Negotiators Join Talks

Von der Leyen was accompanied by key EU trade officials, including Maros Sefcovic and Sabine Weyand. The Trump administration had warned that the tariff deadline was final, with U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick stating that Customs would begin collecting duties August 1 unless a deal was reached.

What’s Next

Trump is set to meet with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Monday at Turnberry and will travel to Aberdeen on Tuesday to promote a new Trump golf course. Talks with the UK are ongoing following the announcement of a trade framework and partial deal earlier this year.

According to IDF spokesperson Avichay Adraee, the tactical pause will take place daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. in regions where the IDF is not currently operating. The initiative, coordinated with the United Nations and other aid agencies, aims to ease humanitarian access amid mounting international pressure.

Urgent Needs Amid Worsening Malnutrition Crisis

The Hamas-run Gaza Ministry of Health responded by urging the use of this pause to evacuate the wounded and bring in essential supplies such as antibiotics, infant formula, and high-protein supplements.

Expanded Aid Corridors and Airdrops

Israel also announced extended aid corridor hours from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. for UN and international convoys. In addition, the Israeli military has begun food airdrops, with support from neighboring Arab nations like Jordan and the UAE.

Aid Requirements Remain High

Gaza’s media office said the strip needs 600 relief trucks daily and 250,000 cans of baby formula each month. Officials continue to call for immediate and full access through border crossings.

Another round of scattered showers and storms for Sunday

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — There’s another chance for showers and storms Sunday with the combination of our seasonal sea breeze and some extra tropical moisture nearby. Spotty showers are possible along the coast beginning in the morning with showers and storms growing as they lift north into the afternoon and early-evening hours. Temperature wise most will make it into the low 90s by the time rain arrives, then showers and storms could cool you off into the low-mid 80s.

How does next week look?

Drier and hotter! By midweek, high pressure builds in which will send temperatures into the upper 90s or even triple digits once again.

And what about the first weekend of August?

Rain chances start picking back up this upcoming weekend. The heat dome and drier air that will be preset during the work week will give way to another round of tropical moisture rolling in from the east. The highest rainfall totals will stay over Louisiana, but we’ll see daily rain chances return late-week and through next weekend.

What’s happening in the tropics?

All quiet in the Atlantic basin for now, but the Eastern Pacific remains very active. For a thorough update and in-depth video on what’s happening in the tropics, head to our tropical update page.

Harris County West Nile Virus Case Not Confirmed

A previously reported possible case of West Nile virus in Harris County has been ruled out, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services.

The adult male from eastern Harris County showed symptoms consistent with WNV, but required lab testing was not performed by the treatment facility. Without that testing, DSHS determined the case does not meet confirmation standards.

No Confirmed WNV Cases in Harris County

As of now, there are no confirmed human cases of West Nile virus in Harris County. Harris County Public Health remains on alert and continues to monitor mosquito-borne illnesses across the region.

Help Prevent Mosquito Bites: Follow the “3 Ts”

HCPH urges all residents to take steps to protect themselves from mosquito bites, especially in the warmer months. Their mosquito prevention strategy is based on the “3 Ts”:

  • Tip – Remove standing water from items like flowerpots, buckets, birdbaths, and tires where mosquitoes breed.
  • Toss – Get rid of unused objects that can collect water.
  • Take Action – Wear long sleeves and pants outside, use EPA-approved insect repellent, and check that window and door screens are intact.

What to Do If You’re Concerned

Anyone experiencing symptoms of West Nile virus should contact a healthcare provider. For more information on WNV and how to prevent mosquito bites, visit www.hcphtx.org/MC.

Newsom Blasts Texas GOP Redistricting as Threat to Democracy

Newsom Blasts Texas GOP Redistricting as Threat to Democracy

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is sounding the alarm over Texas Republicans’ attempt to redraw congressional maps, calling it an “existential crisis to democracy.”

Following a meeting with Texas Democratic lawmakers in Sacramento, Newsom warned that partisan redistricting could tilt control of Congress and said California may respond by rethinking its own redistricting process.

Texas Redistricting Sparks National Fight

The Texas Legislature opened a special session this week to consider revising its congressional maps—a move encouraged by former President Donald Trump. Although Texas already redrew its districts in 2021 after the 2020 Census, GOP leaders are seeking new boundaries to strengthen their narrow House majority ahead of the 2026 elections.

California May Scrap Its Independent Redistricting Commission

Newsom is now considering abandoning California’s nonpartisan redistricting process, which voters approved in 2008 to strip mapmaking power from state lawmakers. He’s exploring multiple legal and political options, including asking voters to reverse the constitutional amendment.

“The cleanest path… is asking the voters that enacted this in the first place to consider the new conditions,” Newsom said.

Pushback from Both Parties

The idea has stirred debate in Sacramento. Some Democrats are open to the proposal, but many lawmakers from both parties warn against politicizing redistricting.

“We win elections by a war of ideas, not by manipulating the lines,” said Assemblymember Heath Flora, R-Ripon. He criticized the plan as reactionary and costly, adding, “I just don’t think it’s smart. I don’t think Texas should do it either.”

Democrats Warn of National Impact

Texas Democrats say the GOP’s plan could hurt minority communities and reshape national representation. Redistricting expert Paul Mitchell noted that creating five additional GOP seats would require shifting large numbers of voters out of Democratic districts.

Texas Rep. Rafael Anchía, D-Dallas, warned, “It is going to cause great harm—not only to the people that we represent, but also potentially to all Americans.”

Newsom Draws a Line

Newsom said he’s no longer willing to let California play by different rules if other states are engaging in partisan mapmaking.

“We’re not going to play by a different set of rules anymore,” he declared.

House Democrats Request Epstein’s ‘Birthday Book’

House Democrats Request Epstein’s ‘Birthday Book’

House Democrats are pushing to obtain a controversial document known as the “birthday book” from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate.

The request was made by Reps. Ro Khanna and Robert Garcia, both California Democrats, in a letter sent Friday. The book, reportedly compiled by Ghislaine Maxwell in 2003 for Epstein’s 50th birthday, is said to include a “bawdy” letter from Donald Trump, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Book Tied to Trump and DOJ Oversight

Though the request doesn’t carry the legal weight of a subpoena, it comes amid increased scrutiny of how the Trump administration handled files related to Epstein’s investigation.

The lawmakers argue the document is vital for congressional oversight of the Department of Justice, especially since only select Epstein-related files were declassified and released.

Maxwell Deposition Looms

The Oversight Committee has subpoenaed Ghislaine Maxwell for a deposition scheduled one day after the deadline lawmakers set to receive the book.

Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking and has reportedly met twice this week with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, under limited immunity.

Trump Denies Letter, Files Defamation Suit

The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump contributed a letter to the book, but the former president has denied it and filed a $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the publication.

A spokesperson for Dow Jones defended the reporting, stating they would “vigorously defend against any lawsuit.”

Justice Department Signals Willingness to Hear Evidence

Blanche, speaking on behalf of the DOJ, emphasized that any credible information Maxwell can provide on crimes against victims will be reviewed. “President Trump has told us to release all credible evidence,” he said in a social media post.
