A gunman in Louisiana killed eight children between the ages of 3 and 11 in domestic-related shootings at a home in the nation’s deadliest mass shooting in more than two years. Police in Shreveport said a total of 10 people were shot Sunday, including the gunman’s wife. Police spokesperson Chris Bordelon says the gunman, identified as Shamar Elkins, died after a chase with officers who fired at the suspect. The suspect had stolen a car while leaving the scene of the shootings.

Police said seven of the children killed were Elkin’s. Officials said they were still gathering details at crime scenes south of downtown Shreveport — two homes and a third location.

Coroner’s office identifies children who were killed

The Caddo Parish Coroner’s Office released the identities of the seven child siblings and a cousin were who shot and killed Sunday. It also said the victims’ ages ranged from 3 to 11.

The children, who were identified by their mothers, include three boys and five girls, the office said in a statement late Sunday.

They were identified as Jayla Elkins, 3; Shayla Elkins, 5; Kayla Pugh, 6; Layla Pugh, 7; Markaydon Pugh, 10; Sariahh Snow, 11; Khedarrion Snow, 6; and Braylon Snow, 5.

The office said autopsies were ordered for the victims.

Mother posted updates of growing family on social media

Shaneiqua Elkins frequently posted about her growing family, sharing photos and videos of recitals and academic achievements, including a daughter’s recognition as “most improved” student.

The photos also showed Shamar Elkins, often smiling alongside the children.

On Friday afternoon, less than 48 hours before the shooting, he shared a photo of a girl — whom he identified as his eldest daughter — alongside a lighthearted caption about their “lil 1 on 1 date.”

Elkins did not appear to have an extensive criminal history

But court records show he was placed on probation in 2019 after pleading guilty to illegal use of weapons.

In that case, Elkins told police that someone driving a vehicle pulled a gun on him “and then took off,” according to a police report.

Elkins ran into the street, brandished a 9mm handgun and fired five rounds at the fleeing vehicle, according to the report, which notes he was 280 feet away from a school and “shooting toward the school while children were playing outside.”

Bordelon identified the suspect Sunday evening as Shamar Elkins

Police say the gunman killed 7 of his own children and wounded their mother, as well as killing another child.

Shreveport police spokesperson Chris Bordelon said Sunday evening that the suspect shot the mother first and then killed eight children, seven of whom were his own.

The victims ranged in age from 1 to about 12 years old, and the mother and another woman are in critical condition, Bodelon said.

Bordelon said there was still much to investigate but detectives were confident the shooting was “entirely a domestic incident.”

Bordelon also said the suspect had been arrested in 2019 in a firearms case. He said police were not aware of any other domestic violence issues.

Gunman fatally shot 7 of his own children and another child in an attack, police say

Bordelon, the police spokesperson, says the children who were killed ranged in age from 1 to “about” 12 years old.

Police and other officials had said earlier Sunday those killed ranged in age from 1 to 14.

Bordelon says two adult females who were shot were in critical condition.

He also says the gunman was known to the police department but they were not aware of any other domestic violence issues.

A state official says some children tried to escape out the back door

That’s according to Democratic state Rep. Tammy Phelps, who represents Caddo Parish.

“I can’t even imagine what the police officers, first responders actually dealt with when they got here today,” she said at a news conference.

District attorney’s office: ’What began as a domestic dispute has ended in irreversible harm’

The Caddo Parish District Attorney’s office is emphasizing that the shootings show that “domestic violence is not a private matter” and that “this tragedy’s impact demands our collective attention.”

“This is not simply an event; it is a profound community loss,” it said, adding that domestic violence “is not a private matter” but rather “a community issue with far-reaching consequences, often affecting the most vulnerable among us — our children.”

The office said: “We see how quickly situations can escalate. We see how patterns of control, fear and instability can grow behind closed doors. And we know that intervention — whether through reporting, support services, or community awareness — can make a difference.”

It says that “this moment calls for more than grief. It calls for awareness, connection, and action.”

The office encouraged individuals experiencing domestic violence to reach out to local resources, some of which it listed in its statement.

“No one has to navigate these situations alone,” it said.

Police provide more details on the shootings and pursuit of suspect

Shreveport police said in a news release that the attacks began in a neighborhood south of downtown when the suspect shot a woman at one home and then drove to another home where the children were killed in what was described as “a violent domestic incident.”

Police say the suspect fled the scene and carjacked an adult male at gunpoint.

Officers spotted the vehicle and began a pursuit that continued into Bossier Parish, where the officers “ultimately engaged the suspect,” the statement said.

The officers, it said, “were forced to discharge their department-issued firearms, neutralizing the suspect, who was pronounced deceased at the scene.”

Coroner’s office says IDs of victims is pending

The Caddo Parish Coroner’s Office says in a statement that it was not yet releasing any of the children’s names because “scientific identification of the victims is still pending.” city in northwestern Louisiana with about 180,000 residents. “It’s a terrible morning.”

Neighbor says security camera captured video of suspect running away

Liza Demming, who lives two doors down from one of the shooting scenes, said her security camera captured video of the gunman running away toward a tire shop.

She said she could hear two shots on the audio.

“That’s’ pretty much all I saw, was him running out of the house,” she said.

Demming said she later saw one of the child victims, who had already been covered, laying on the roof of the house. But she said she never heard anything like a fight or argument.

“It was nothing loud, no altercations. It was quiet. Nothing,” she said.

Pastor who owns home where shootings occurred says he didn’t have dealings with the family

Pastor Marty T. Johnson Sr. of St. Gabriel Community Baptist Church owns the home where the shootings occurred but says that he doesn’t know the family who rented the home and never had dealings with them.

Johnson says a person who works for him had rented the home to the family.

He said all he knows is from what he’s heard from news reports and from neighbors but that he’s ready to do whatever he can to help.

“I do plan on having a prayer vigil for the family, and anything I can do, with so many children, to help them bury the children, I’m going to do so,” Johnson said.

“We’ve got to take our community back, and we will.”

Louisiana US representative: ‘There are no words’

That’s the reaction from U.S. Rep. Cleo Fields, a Democrat whose district includes part of Shreveport.

In a statement, Fields says he is praying for two women injured the shootings.

Fields also expressed support for the several law enforcement agencies that are conducting what he calls “an extensive and deeply painful investigation.”

“A crime scene spanning four locations, eight children gone ranging in age from just one to fourteen years old — there are no words,” Fields says.

“Shreveport is a resilient community, and we will get through this together.”

Former US Rep. Gabby Giffords: ‘All of us should be outraged’

“All of us should be outraged that we live in a country that routinely subjects our kids to such unimaginable violence,” said Giffords, who survived an assassination attempt in 2011.

“Our children have no option but to trust us to keep them safe, but our country is failing them every day,” she said in a statement. “Both Congress and Baton Rouge have a moral duty to do better. Our leaders must act—now.”

Giffords was shot in the head on Jan. 8, 2011, as she met with constituents at a grocery store in Tucson, Arizona. Six people were killed and a dozen injured in addition to Giffords.

She now advocates for gun control measures.

Police say shootings were result of a ‘domestic disturbance’

That’s according to Bordelon.

“This is an extensive scene unlike anything most of us have ever seen,” he said.

House Speaker Johnson reacts to shootings

“Heartbreaking tragedy in Shreveport this morning — 8 children were senselessly killed and multiple others were injured. My team is in touch with local law enforcement as more details emerge,” said U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson, who is from Shreveport and represents part of northwest Louisiana.

“We’re holding the victims, their families and loved ones, and our Shreveport community close in our thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time. And we are grateful to the Shreveport, Bossier, and Louisiana State Police for their swift response,” Johnson said.

Gov. Jeff Landry says he and his wife are heartbroken

“We’re deeply grateful to the law enforcement officers and first responders working tirelessly on the scene,” Landry said in a statement.

State police say they’ve been asked to help investigate

In a statement, state police say no officers were harmed in the shooting that involved an officer after a police pursuit into Bossier City on Sunday morning.

State police are asking anyone with pictures, video or information to share it with state police detectives.

Police say shootings were result of a ‘domestic disturbance’

That’s according to police spokesperson Chris Bordelon.

“This is an extensive scene unlike anything most of us have ever seen,” he said.

It was the deadliest mass shooting in the US since 2024

That’s according to a database maintained by The Associated Press and USA Today in partnership with Northeastern University.

In January 2024, eight people were killed in a Chicago suburb.

Officials appear stunned at news conference in Shreveport

Officials appeared stunned outside the residence where one of the shootings occurred, requesting patience and prayers from the community as they sorted through multiple crime scenes.

“I just don’t know what to say, my heart is just taken aback,” Shreveport Police Chief Wayne Smith said. “I cannot begin to imagine how such an event could occur.”

“This is a tragic situation — maybe the worst tragic situation we’ve ever had,” said Tom Arceneaux, mayor of the city in northwestern Louisiana with about 180,000 residents. “It’s a terrible morning.”

The performance by Karl Dall and Paola is remembered for its deliberately awkward and chaotic energy, mixing lighthearted music with Dall’s trademark offbeat humor. Paola treats the moment like a polished pop performance, while Karl Dall intentionally interrupts the flow with clumsy timing, exaggerated facial expressions, and playful irreverence. The contrast between her professionalism and his refusal to take the moment seriously is what makes the clip so memorable and amusing.

As the performance continues, the humor comes from the unpredictability, leaving viewers unsure whether things are actually falling apart or unfolding exactly as intended. Karl Dall’s comedic style often pushed social boundaries just enough to create laughter through secondhand embarrassment, while Paola’s calm and composed reactions help ground the scene. Together, they deliver a classic variety-show clash of styles that feels spontaneous, messy, and unforgettable—the kind of television moment that sticks with audiences precisely because it refuses to follow normal expectations.

THE NIGHT ROBIN WILLIAMS LAUGHED SO HARD… EVEN JOHNNY CARSON COULDN’T KEEP IT TOGETHER.

The sitυatioп iпside the shelter was heartbreakiпg. Bills had piled υp beyoпd what the owпer coυld maпage. Doпatioпs had slowed. Staff members, exhaυsted aпd overwhelmed, had already begυп prepariпg for the υпthiпkable. Keппels were beiпg cleaпed пot for пew arrivals, bυt for fiпal goodbyes. The atmosphere wasп’t chaotic—it was heavy, qυiet, aпd filled with the kiпd of sileпce that comes wheп hope starts to fade.

Aпd theп, withoυt warпiпg, the door opeпed

Adam Lambert aпd Oliver Gliese stepped iпside—пo eпtoυrage, пo cameras, пo aппoυпcemeпt. Jυst two people eпteriпg a place that had almost beeп forgotteп. At first, пo oпe recogпized them. Aпd eveп if they had, it woυldп’t have mattered iп that momeпt. Becaυse they wereп’t there as celebrities. They were there with pυrpose.

There was пo hesitatioп, пo reqυest for special treatmeпt. Jυst a qυiet reqυest that immediately shifted the eпergy iп the room.

A staff member led them dowп a пarrow hallway liпed with keппels. Some dogs barked weakly. Others didп’t move at all. A few lifted their heads jυst eпoυgh to ackпowledge the preseпce of someoпe пew. The air carried a mixtυre of aпxiety aпd resigпatioп—aпimals seпsiпg somethiпg was comiпg, eveп if they didп’t υпderstaпd what.

At the very back of the shelter, they stopped.

Iпside a corпer keппel lay Bυddy—aп 11-year-old Labrador mix. His fυr was dυll, his body thiп, aпd his eyes tired. He didп’t bark. He didп’t approach. He simply watched, as if he had already learпed пot to expect aпythiпg.

Oliver was the first to kпeel dowп.

He reached throυgh the bars geпtly, lettiпg Bυddy come to him iпstead of forciпg coпtact. His voice was soft, almost a whisper. “Hey… yoυ’re пot iпvisible, yoυ kпow that?”

Bυddy didп’t move at first. Bυt after a momeпt, he shifted slightly closer.

Adam stepped forward, placiпg his haпd carefυlly oп Bυddy’s head. He didп’t say aпythiпg right away. He jυst stayed there, preseпt, lettiпg the momeпt speak for itself.

For a few secoпds, the eпtire room felt sυspeпded iп time.

Theп Adam stood υp.

“How maпy dogs are here?” he asked.

“Thirty-пiпe,” a staff member replied qυietly.

There was a paυse.

Adam aпd Oliver looked at each other—oпe of those υпspokeп exchaпges where everythiпg is υпderstood withoυt a siпgle word beiпg said.

Theп Adam пodded.

“All 39 dogs deserve a tomorrow.”

Oliver’s eyes didп’t leave Bυddy. “Every siпgle oпe,” he added.

What happeпed пext υпfolded so qυickly that it felt almost υпreal.

By the пext morпiпg, trυcks begaп arriviпg—oпe after aпother. Sυpplies poυred iп: braпd-пew beds, cleaп blaпkets, food, medical eqυipmeпt, toys, aпd materials to repair the agiпg facility. Workers came to fix brokeп keппels, repaiпt walls, aпd restore the shelter iпto somethiпg that пo loпger felt like aп eпdiпg—bυt a begiппiпg.

The traпsformatioп was immediate aпd overwhelmiпg.

Staff members who had beeп prepariпg for loss foυпd themselves prepariпg for reпewal. Volυпteers retυrпed. The qυiet, heavy sileпce was replaced by movemeпt, by voices, by somethiпg that hadп’t beeп there iп a loпg time—

Hope.

Above each keппel, a small sigп was placed. Simple. Haпdwritteп. Bυt powerfυl eпoυgh to briпg tears to those who read it:

“Forever home — with love from Adam & Oliver.”

Bυt the most meaпiпgfυl momeпt didп’t happeп dυriпg the reпovatioпs.

It happeпed qυietly.

Bυddy was geпtly broυght oυtside.

For the first time iп what felt like forever, he stood iп the opeп air. Oliver kпelt iп froпt of him, holdiпg his face geпtly, smiliпg throυgh tears. Adam clipped a leash oпto his collar, his movemeпts calm aпd certaiп.

“He’s beeп waitiпg too loпg,” Adam said softly.

Oliver пodded. “He’s comiпg home with υs.”

Aпd jυst like that, everythiпg chaпged.

No speeches. No press. No пeed for recogпitioп.

Jυst a decisioп.

Iп a siпgle visit, Adam Lambert aпd Oliver Gliese didп’t jυst save a shelter—they chaпged the coυrse of 39 lives. Thirty-пiпe dogs who woυld wake υp to aпother day. Thirty-пiпe chaпces that almost disappeared.

Aпd maybe that’s what made it so powerfυl.

Becaυse it wasп’t doпe for atteпtioп.

It was doпe becaυse they chose пot to walk away.

Aпd sometimes, that choice is eпoυgh to chaпge everythiпg.

The White House has issued a response to former WWE star Jesse Ventura after his claims that the 2024 attempt on President Donald Trump’s life was staged.

Readers will remember all too well the assassination attempt that played out during one of Trump’s campaign rallies in Butler, Pennsylvania in July, 2024. At the time, Trump was allegedly shot at by 20-year-old Thomas Crooks, who had positioned himself on a rooftop looking over the stage president was speaking on.

One of the eight shots reportedly fired by Crooks struck Trump in his ear, but he was whisked away by Secret Service and survived the ordeal without serious injury.

As was always likely to be the case with such a monumental happening, the credibility of the assassination attempt has been called into question by some of Trump’s detractors.

Former WWE star, politician, and actor Jesse Ventura recently made a particularly explosive claim during an appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored. Ventura, who hosts his own show on conspiracy theories, openly asked: “Where’s his scar today?”

Ventura left Piers Morgan stunned when he referred to Trump’s near-death experience of the president as a “blade job.”

In professional wrestling, a blade job is when a performer intentionally makes themselves bleed to make it look like they’ve suffered a serious injury, heightening the drama of the scene. While intended for entertainment in WWE, Ventura implied the term could also apply to the shooting at the rally in Butler.

During the interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Morgan remarked on Trump’s apparent defiance after the attack.

Ventura scoffed: “Oh yeah right, right, right, you ever heard of a blade job?” When asked if he thought the assassination attempt was “fake,” Ventura added: “I don’t know, where’s his scar today?”

Morgan reminded him that a former volunteer fire chief near Trump at the rally had died as a result of the shooting.

Ventura shrugged it off, saying, “I don’t know, come on Piers, you’re going to tell me this guy’s a big hero now?” When Morgan pressed further, Ventura replied sharply: “Then he accomplished what he wanted out of you guys.”

Asked what he would say to Trump if given the chance, Ventura said he would “prefer not” to speak to the president, claiming:

“He has no courage. He never has. There’s always one guy who will start the fight, and then hold your coat. That’s Donald Trump.”

It took little time for the White House to issue a statement in response to Ventura’s doubts.

Per the Daily Express US, the statement reads: “On that tragic day in Butler, Pennsylvania, we tragically lost an American hero, Corey Comperatore, who selflessly laid down his life to protect those around him. President Trump will never forget Corey and his beautiful family.”

It continued: “On that dark day, God spared President Trump’s life by a miraculous millimeter. President Trump is standing stronger than ever as he continues to ‘fight, fight, fight’ for the American people. Only a fool would believe otherwise.”

If you’ve ever woken up unable to move or speak — even though your mind was fully awake — you’ve likely experienced something called sleep paralysis.

It’s far more common than most people realize, but because the experience feels surreal and often terrifying, many hesitate to talk about it

30% of people will experience it

Most people have never heard of a sleep disorder called sleep paralysis. But it’s something many of us will experience at least once in our lives—whether we remember it or not.

Sleep paralysis is a medical condition that occurs in the moments right before you fall asleep or as you’re waking up. During an episode, a person becomes unable to move or speak, even though they’re mentally awake.

It’s also common to experience hallucinations or out-of-body sensations, which makes the situation feel especially frightening.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, sleep paralysis occurs “when your body is in between stages of sleep and wakefulness.” Episodes usually last anywhere from a few seconds to a couple of minutes and are classified as a type of parasomnia. While the experience can be frightening, sleep paralysis is completely harmless.

Researchers estimate that about 30% of people will experience sleep paralysis at least once in their lifetime.

It can happen just as you’re falling asleep or right as you’re waking up. Common symptoms include an inability to move or speak, pressure on the chest, the sensation of being outside your body, vivid hallucinations, and intense fear or panic. Some episodes last only moments, while others can stretch up to 20 minutes.

So what causes it?

During REM sleep—the stage when most dreaming occurs—your brain temporarily “shuts off” your muscles. This prevents you from physically acting out your dreams. Sleep paralysis happens when your mind wakes up before your body does, leaving you conscious but unable to move.

The mismatch is often triggered by:

• High stress
• Poor or irregular sleep
• Anxiety
• Exhaustion
• Disrupted sleep schedules

Several studies have shown that people who are exhausted, stressed, or dealing with sleep deprivation are more likely to experience sleep paralysis, according to sleep expert and CBT psychologist Charlott Ulfsparre.

Despite the fear it brings, sleep paralysis is not dangerous, and it’s not considered a disease. It’s a natural phenomenon that humans have been trying to understand for centuries. Ancient Persian medical texts described it in the 900s, and one of the first documented cases was recorded by a Dutch physician in 1664.

Many cultures developed their own explanations — Japan speaks of being “bound by steel,” Chinese folklore calls it “ghost pressure,” and in parts of Africa it’s described as “a devil riding on your back.”

Some people also experience intense hallucinations. Many describe a presence in the room, someone sitting on their chest, or even an overwhelming feeling of doom. Swedish artist Jonna Jinton has written about her first experience at age 16, describing a strange vibration and the sensation of being pulled into something. Singer Zara Larsson has also spoken openly about her own frightening episodes.

How to prevent sleep paralysis

• Keep a regular sleep schedule
• Reduce stress
• Avoid screens before bedtime
• Create a calm sleep environment

If an episode does happen, try to focus on slow breathing and attempt to move just one finger or toe. Once a tiny bit of movement returns, the rest of your body usually follows.

Sharing information about sleep paralysis can help more people understand what’s happening to them—and reassure them that this disturbing experience is temporary, explainable, and not dangerous.

Seven dogs from a village in northeastern China turned a nightmare into an internet sensation this week. Stolen from their homes and loaded onto a truck headed for the dog meat trade, the group broke free and walked more than 10 miles back to safety.

They stuck together the whole way, even when one of them could barely keep up. The footage has racked up over 230 million views online, and people everywhere are still talking about what these pups did.

How the Dogs Ended up on the Road in the First Place

The seven dogs lived in the same village near Changchun in Jilin province. They came from three different households but spent their days roaming together as neighborhood pals.

On March 16, thieves working for a dog meat operation grabbed them and crammed them into an illegal transport truck.

No one saw exactly how they got out. Volunteers from a local stray dog rescue group later pieced together that the dogs must have escaped somewhere along the route. Instead of splitting up in the chaos, they formed a tight pack and started heading home.

Watch the video below.

Over the next two days, they covered roughly 17 kilometers, or about 10.5 miles, through fields and along busy highways. They faced traffic, strange surroundings, and exhaustion, yet they never scattered.

The group included a mix of breeds: a German shepherd, a corgi, golden retrievers, Labrador types, and a Pekingese.

They knew the way back because they had explored the area together before. Their shared history as village friends gave them an edge that kept them moving as one unit toward familiar ground.

The Moment a Passerby Captured the Pack on Video

A driver named Lu spotted the dogs on March 16 while traveling the Changchun highway. He pulled out his phone and recorded them walking in a line along the side of the road.

The short clip quickly landed on Chinese social media and then spread worldwide after it appeared on YouTube channels like RIZUKO0011.

In the footage, the corgi stays out front the entire time. He keeps glancing back over his shoulder to check on the rest of the group.

Whenever anyone lags, the little dog slows the pace or circles back. The others follow his lead without question. Larger dogs stay clustered in the middle, creating a protective circle around one member who clearly needs extra help. That member is the German shepherd.

He limps noticeably from an injury to his leg, possibly hurt during the theft or the escape. The rest of the pack adjusts their speed so he can stay with them. They surround him on all sides, shielding him from traffic and keeping him from falling behind.

The video shows the group pausing several times to let the injured dog catch up before continuing forward together.

Viewers zoomed in on those details right away. The corgi’s constant checks and the protective formation around the German shepherd stood out as clear signs of teamwork. Within hours the clip had millions of views, and shares poured in from across China and beyond.

The Safe Return and the Bigger Conversation It Started

By March 19, all seven dogs had reached their village. Volunteers confirmed the group made it back to their three original households.

Each dog had only minor injuries and showed signs of fatigue but nothing serious. Owners reported the pets seemed relieved to be home and quickly settled back into their routines.

One volunteer from the Bitter Coffee Stray Dog Base told local media that the dogs’ return felt like a small win in a tough situation. The story has now pushed many people in China to talk openly about stronger animal protection rules.

The fact that the dogs were taken for the meat trade added weight to those calls, and the viral video gave the issue a face that millions could connect with.

The seven dogs have become local celebrities in their village. Their owners say the pack still roams together, just like before. The footage continues to circulate, reminding viewers that animals can show remarkable loyalty when they face hardship as a team.

This real event from a Chinese highway has left a lasting mark online, not because of any special tricks or training, but because seven ordinary dogs chose to look out for one another all the way home.

A 25-year-old woman will become the first citizen to be euthanized in Spain on the grounds of mental health and depression when she ends her life later today (March 26, 2026).

As per heartbreaking reports, Noelia Castillo Ramos, from Barcelona, has been vying to medically end her life since 2024.

After a long and protracted legal battle, she’s been granted permission on the grounds of mental health.

According to Reuters, Noelia had previously made several attempts to end her own life after a traumatic experience, one of which left her paraplegic.

Shocking reports have detailed that the young woman was living in a state-supervised centre for vulnerable young people in 2022 when she was the victim of serious sexual assault involving a number of people.

After the harrowing incident, she tried to die by suicide by jumping from a building. She survived the fall, but her injuries left her paralysed from the waist down. Since then she’s been diagnosed with a host of conditions including depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and borderline personality disorder.

In March 2021, Spanish lawmakers legalized voluntary euthanasia and assisted death. Under the law, voluntary euthanasia involves a doctor administering a lethal injection to patients who qualify.

When the law was passed – strictly for Spanish citizens – only adults with ‘serious and incurable’ conditions that inflicted ‘unbearable suffering’ were deemed eligible.

Noelia had been scheduled to undergo euthanasia one month after seeing her application approved in August of 2024. The process was immediately halted, however, after her father filed a legal objection.

In March 2025 he appeared in court to urge a judge to cancel the procedure entirely, claiming that his daughter suffers from a personality disorder that affects her judgement. The father’s lawyers argued that Noelia had changed her mind on the idea of euthanasia several times, thus proving that she wasn’t absolutely certain it was the right course of action.

Noelia herself attended those same legal proceedings. As per the BBC, she said at the time: “I want to finish with dignity once and for all.”

The judge in question ruled in her favor, with the Catalan government’s legal representation claiming they’d observed “no evidence of a scientific or expert character has been presented to contradict the many medical reports which support the decision [to die].”

Speaking in a television interview given to Televisión Pública Noticias earlier this week, the 25-year-old revealed that none of her family members support her decision to take her own life.

“I am a pillar of the family. I am leaving them suffering,” she said.

Later she added: “But what about my suffering?”

“No, I was very clear from the beginning,” Noelia went on. “I simply want to go in peace, stop suffering, and that’s it.

“The happiness of a father or mother should not be above the happiness of a daughter.”

Scott McConnell, co-founder of The American Conservative, is calling for the 25th Amendment to be invoked to remove Donald Trump from office.

Donald Trump has faced criticism since the conflict with Iran began. After his return to the White House, his comeback has been anything but calm, and much has happened.

Trump has taken several decisions that have divided opinion, and the coordinated airstrikes with Israel against Iran sparked strong reactions. The conflict in the Middle East has had devastating consequences, and tensions continue to grow. More than 3,000 people have been reported killed, including over 1,000 civilians.

Now, a conservative commentator is urging Vice President JD Vance to take the extraordinary step of removing President Donald Trump from office.

“Announce your support of 25th amendment transition”

Scott McConnell, co-founder of The American Conservative, suggested in a series of posts on X that Vice President JD Vance should consider invoking the 25th Amendment.

It is a rarely discussed constitutional option that allows a president to be removed from office under certain circumstances.

According to VT, he wrote: “My advice to Vance: Announce your support of 25th amendment transition,” before outlining what he described as a possible path forward.

McConnell continued: “Say Chris Murphy or similar will be veep. Announce you will NOT be a candidate in 2028. Use your position, access to the media to explain why this is necessary. Don’t resign.”

He went on to explain that he believes Democratic Senator Chris Murphy is a suitable choice, describing him as someone who is anti-war and “smart and not super woke.”

He wants Trump removed from office

Although McConnell did not explicitly mention Trump’s decision to strike Iran in that particular post, he has previously been critical of U.S. military involvement in the region.

He has also suggested that Senator Marco Rubio could be a part of solving the issue, writing that he could join the effort, “keep his job, negotiate a ceasefire and be the GOP frontrunner,” according to VT.

McConnell later returned to the platform with even sharper criticism of the administration, writing: “So Netanyahu fed Trump BS intelligence.

“Trump, ignoring his own intelligence agencies, lapped it up.

“Now because things didn’t work out like the BS intelligence claimed, wants to commit genocide in our name. OK.”

President Trump has recently stated that there are “strong” ongoing talks with Iran about a possible ceasefire. However, Iranian officials have since rejected those claims.
