    GETTYSBURG, Pennsylvania (WGAL) — Two orange cats were found abandoned outside a Domino’s Pizza in Adams County, according to the SPCA.

The cats were “left in a parking spot, scared and cold” outside the Domino’s Pizza on York Street in Gettysburg on Friday, Nov. 7, the Adams County SPCA said.

When employees arrived for work that morning, they discovered the abandoned cats in a crate. The SPCA said a kind neighbor helped warm them up and ensured their safety until they could be taken in.

“We understand that times are tough right now, truly, we do. But abandoning your pets is never the answer. It’s dangerous and heartbreaking for the animals left behind,” the Adams County SPCA said.

The organization reminded pet owners that not all animals can be surrendered to shelters or rescues. “As a pet owner, they are still your responsibility and we will do everything we can to help keep your pet(s) at home with you,” the SPCA said.

Currently, the SPCA stated that they are caring for many kittens under eight weeks old, which are too young to be adopted. “In fact, we’ve been seeing kittens later and later into the year, something that never used to happen, but now even winter brings newborns,” the SPCA said.

The Adams County SPCA advised people who need guidance to reach out. The organization said they are not always able to assist everyone, but they may be able to provide helpful resources.

Annjalee Nunez, 27, of Carlisle, called 911 on Jan. 10, 2023, saying she thought her daughter, Ivory Nunez, was dead, according to court documents.

“The defendant informed the dispatcher that the child was purple in color and stiff to the touch. The defendant was refusing to go to the room where the child was to check on her,” the affidavit of probable cause states.

    ENGLEWOOD, Florida (WBBH) — When you step on the diamond, age is irrelevant.

It doesn’t matter if it’s on the playground at school or in a senior league, it has and always will be a kid’s game!

Just ask today’s starting pitcher, Matt “Matty” Mondile, who just turned 90 years old.

Matty served for 30 years in the armed forces with the Navy, and nowadays, his arm is a force in the Englewood Senior Softball League.

Matty said, “I just started off with track in high school and baseball, softball. I just love playing it, that’s it, you know?”

90 years young and still letting the kid inside run wild.

Matty said, “That’s the key; keeping active, don’t slow down. When you slow down, that’s when you get old.”

Matty’s teammate, John Anjos, said, “He is small in stature, but he’s a giant amongst men. He really is. It’s a pleasure to know him, and I feel honored that I had the chance to play with him.”

Age is just a number, just like the score in this game, but Matty was the winning pitcher in case you were wondering.

    PORT ST. LUCIE, Florida (WPBF) — Authorities confirmed that 62-year-old Paul Maraio, the suspect in the Tropical East HOA double homicide, has died.

Port St. Lucie officials say Maraio died around 2:30 a.m. Tuesday morning.

A neighborhood dispute in the Tropical East Community of Port St. Lucie resulted in two deaths and a suspect injured after a standoff with police Thursday afternoon. Port St. Lucie police Chief Leo Niemczyk described the scene as chaotic when officers first arrived.

“You can imagine. There were multiple neighbors out and about in the area. And we had two people shot in two locations and a suspect at large,” Niemczyk said.

The police chief explained that officers immediately asked residents to shelter in place due to the uncertainty of the suspect’s whereabouts. The victims were shot near their homes, and the suspect was identified as one of their neighbors.

“It appears there was some sort of ongoing neighbor dispute and something just brought our suspect to the edge today, where he took things into his own hands,” Niemczyk said.

Police have identified the suspect as Paul Maraio, 62, of Port St. Lucie.

Officers on scene learned that Maraio had fled into a third home, taking a woman inside hostage. SWAT teams and crisis negotiators responded and began a dialogue with him.

“About an hour in, he released the hostage. He was inside the home by himself, armed and barricaded,” Niemczyk said.

The standoff lasted for two and a half hours, during which Maraio informed police that he had shot himself in the chest. Police deployed an interior drone to assess the situation.

“We were able to see where he was in the house. We could eventually see that he was in fact injured,” Niemczyk said.

Officers then entered the home and took Maraio into custody. He was flown to a hospital for treatment of the gunshot wound. Niemczyk stated that if he survives, he will face multiple charges, including two counts of homicide.

Nearby Mariposa Elementary School was not directly involved in the incident, but 14 children who were there for aftercare were kept inside until police deemed it safe for them to leave.

    SPARTANBURG, South Carolina (WYFF) — A South Carolina man is facing charges after police say he entered a dorm through a laundry room window and was found standing at a student’s bed.

A report from the Spartanburg Police Department said an officer was called to Converse University on Monday morning about a suspicious person.

When they arrived, they learned that Dante Lundy, 43, had broken into the Belk Hall through a laundry room window, according to the police report.

After breaking in, Lundy is accused of going into a dorm room and standing by a student’s bed.

The student told police she woke up about 6 a.m. to find a man standing by her bed.

She told officers that she yelled at the man and asked him what he was doing, but he did not respond.

Lundy was identified through an ID card, the report said.

The report said he refused to speak and was taken to the Spartanburg County Detention Center.

Lundy is charged with trespass into enclosed space and third-degree assault and battery.

Converse University issued the following statement about the incident:

“This morning, an arrest was made following an incident of unlawful entry into a university residential hall. Campus Safety was promptly notified and immediately responded to the scene. The subject was located, detained without incident, and subsequently taken into custody. The Spartanburg City Police Department was contacted and arrived promptly to assist and complete the arrest process.

Residents raise concerns at city council meeting after viral arrest video involving police officer

    GREENSBORO (WXII) — Steps are being taken to release the body cam footage related to the arrest of a man by a Greensboro police officer.

The 25-second video shared on social media shows the officer striking Nathaniel Williams. Greensboro Police Chief John Thompson said the officer was using a standard technique taught in training, called a suprascapular strike to the shoulder area. Williams told WXII 12 News he was hit in the head and feels he was targeted. The Greensboro Police Department also said Williams was resisting arrest. Thompson said he would file a petition so that he can release the video to show the arrest.

As Greensboro City Council members took their seats Monday for one of their last meetings before the new council is sworn in, they were faced with questions from the community about holding law enforcement accountable.

“What gives you the right, what gives you the right to behave this way?” said a community member.

Several people spoke at public comment Monday to let the city council know they want to see a change in how Greensboro police officers use force.

“In this particular case, from what I have seen, it was used to stun that nerve. What you do is when you stun that nerve, it kind of incapacitates that arm temporarily, allowing officers to gain control of that arm,” Thompson said at Thursday’s press conference.

Community members said they want to know more about what led up to the response and they’re calling on city leaders for answers.

“It is a culture of policing that has deep roots in this city’s history that gives you the right; it is the habitual and perpetual failure of the city council and the council’s past,” said a community member.

Council members said they are also working to get answers.

“If he approves the petition, it will go on to superior court hopefully, it will be on the docket by next Monday, but that is completely up to the superior court,” said the city attorney.

Court documents allege former officer self-reported child sexual abuse material

    BELLEVUE, Nebraska (KETV) — New court documents allege a former Bellevue Police Department officer self-reported receiving a nude photo from a 17-year-old girl.

Ryan Agustin, 38, was arrested Friday as part of a child enticement investigation. He faces a charge of manufacturing visual depiction of sexually explicit material and felony child abuse.

An affidavit said Agustin had a conversation with an Internal Affairs lieutenant back in June 2025. During that conversation, court documents say Agustin self-reported he was “sent a nude photo by a 17-year-0ld female … via Instagram.”

Agustin reported his Instagram account had been deactivated. Investigators did a search of his email later and found that his account was suspended for “violating community standards on child exploitation, abuse and nudity.”

Investigators then contacted the victim, who disclosed she had sexual contact with the former Bellevue police officer and called her names. She alleged the officer said he would not stop being mean to her until she sent photos.

Court documents say investigators issued search warrants to Meta for the accounts of the victim and the officer. They said they found several messages, videos and images exchanged between the two.

Court documents say Agustin admitted to soliciting photos from the 17-year-old and that he and the victim sent photos to each other on Instagram throughout the past year. They also alleged the two had been in a sexual relationship since the summer of 2024.

Project Harmony said it is difficult for children to come forward about possible abuse.

“It can always be difficult for a child to disclose in any situation, whether it be somebody who is in an authoritative state or if it’s somebody who is just a normal person in their life,” Tippery said.

Jessica Tippery, director of children’s services at Project Harmony, said it’s crucial to ensure children know they’re not in trouble when they come forward. Tippery said children need to know they have a trusted adult they can confide in.

“The most important thing is to be available, so listening to your children, letting them know that you’re there, if they feel like they might be in trouble for something that, they may have played a part in, that they know that, you know, you’re there to support them no matter what,” Tippery said.

When it comes to social media, Tippery said it starts with education before a child creates an account.

“So what information is is okay for them to share and what information should they not be sharing?,” Tippery said. “What should they do if somebody ever, sends them a message or sends them something inappropriate?”

Agustin was fired from the Bellevue Police Department. He is expected to be in court on Wednesday.

Project Harmony said caregivers can always call and speak with one of their advocates to help guide them through any situation. You can also find tips and training on their website.

‘She was a force for good’: Parents remember KU student killed in hit-and-run crash

    LAWRENCE, Kansas (KMBC) — Elsa McGrain’s parents said the world has been robbed of a caring, considerate and loving young woman.

The 20-year-old University of Kansas student was set to graduate in 2026 with the intention of going to medical school.

Now, those plans won’t happen. Elsa was hit and killed by a car Thursday night while out on a run in Lawrence.

Anna and Jordan, Elsa’s parents, are focused on her legacy of love and care for others.

“I can’t even describe how much she gave to others and didn’t worry about herself,” Anna said. “She was very giving, always looking for someone else to help.”

Elsa grew up in Omaha with her parents and three siblings. From a young age, Anna said Elsa had a grin that lit up a room.

“She was a joyful child,” Anna said. “Always happy, easygoing, the best baby and she grew up into the same good-natured young woman that was better than I ever could have been. She really was a gift from God and God was a big part of her life.”

At KU, Elsa was studying to go into medical school.

Jordan said Elsa was set to graduate early in 2026 and had plans for a gap year between undergrad and medical school.

“She was going to graduate a year early because of all the hard work she had done in high school,” Jordan said. “So she was planning mission trips, she was planning a number of things as a volunteer.”

Elsa was also very involved in her sorority on campus, Chi Omega.

“Everyone was like her sister in the sorority and I know how much they’re grieving,” Anna said. “She just was special to so many people.”

Over everything Elsa did in life was her faithfulness in God.

“She was a leader beyond her years,” Anna said. “She developed this summer youth ministry at our church that didn’t exist. She did it from scratch. She ran it. Didn’t care that she was not getting paid for it. She brought hundreds of young adults in from all over Omaha to that ministry.”

Elsa was also a member of The Story Hill Church and The Salt Company college ministry in Lawrence. Story Hill Executive Director Matthew McGill said their church is heartbroken.

“If you knew Elsa, you knew someone marked by Christlike kindness, gentleness, and a burden for the salvation of those around her,” McGill said. “She was always full of joy and cared so deeply about so many people.”

Anna and Jordan said they know Elsa is now in Heaven with God.

“She was comfortable with that,” Anna said. “She said to me a few weeks ago, ‘If I go early, you know, I’ll be with Jesus, and I’m excited, Mom.’ Which I was like, ‘Okay, don’t say that.’ You know, as a mom, but now I take blessing in that.”

Jordan and Anna said Elsa often went running near the location where she was hit. Jordan said when she went for a run she would think about her faith and pray for the people in her life.

“We have a close friend that she texted just prior to her run and asked, ‘What can I pray for you for?'” Anna said. “She would listen to her music. She would connect to God at sunset. That’s what she was doing. That’s how she lived her life for others. That was what she was doing when she died.”

Anna and Jordan said there’s no way to replace the light Elsa brought to their lives, but hearing stories of her kindness and generosity helps.

“It’s just been so inspiring for others to share their experience with her,” Jordan said. “As someone who’s kind, generous, never wanted anybody to feel omitted, wanted to include everyone in the good that the world had to offer and the good that she had to offer.”

Jordan and Anna said there is a time when they will address the suspect in the hit-and-run that killed Elsa, but right now their focus is on her legacy.

The family has created a GoFundMe from the outpouring of support and plans to use the funds to support causes and organizations close to Elsa’s heart.

“That will go absolutely directly to continuing to fund the programs and ministries that were important to her,” said Jordan.

World War II veteran reflects on D-Day and life lessons

    BELLA VISTA, Arkansas (KHBS, KHOG) — KB Smith, a 100-year-old World War II veteran who lives in Bella Vista, is spending Veterans Day reflecting on his time fighting for freedom, including his experience storming the beaches of Normandy on D-Day.

Smith said he enlisted shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

“People were upset about it, and patriotism was rampant,” he said.

As a senior in high school, Smith first tried to join the Navy but was told by the recruiter that he needed more potassium. “I was five foot five, and I weighed 120 pounds. He said ‘Son, you better go home and eat some bananas, and bulk up a little bit,'” Smith said.

After a couple of weeks and five pounds, Smith was ready to serve his country. He is part of the Greatest Generation, with his journey taking him to D-Day and the beaches of Normandy during World War II.

“I never once had any thought about if I was going to lose my life. My whole thing was about doing a good job with the job I was trained to do,” Smith said.

After the war, Smith and his wife moved from Nebraska to Northwest Arkansas, where he feels the warm embrace from Arkansans everywhere he goes.

“So many thank you for your services, and they come up, and they want to talk,” he said.

Smith advises the younger generation to be patient and understanding of each other.

“It just seems like people are growing apart instead of together,” he said.

Smith attributes his long and healthy life to his faith in Christ and having a good wife.
