Missouri county considers ordinance banning law enforcement from wearing masks while on duty

    JACKSON COUNTY, Missouri (KMBC) — A proposed Jackson County ordinance would ban most law enforcement officers from wearing masks while on duty, requiring their faces and badges to remain visible except in limited situations such as undercover work, SWAT operations or the execution of warrants.

Ordinance 6050 would also require agencies to adopt written policies governing those exceptions and to report annually to county lawmakers on when and how they are used. Officers who violate the rule could face criminal misdemeanor charges and potential civil liability.

Jackson County Legislature Chair Manny Abarca III said the measure is designed to create uniform standards and accountability.

“This is a uniform policy. This isn’t anything that’s new or innovative. This is a very basic mechanism to keep us all safe,” Abarca said.

Abarca said he is open to amendments as lawmakers continue to debate the proposal.

“I don’t think there’s any advocate out there saying they want their law enforcement agencies to cover their badges, cover their faces, and cover their names. And so we just need to navigate through this political rhetoric,” he said.

The ordinance was first introduced last month. Abarca, a fourth-generation Mexican American, said he has been racially profiled by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the past and argued the legislation is needed as a check on what he described as the current administration’s approach to law enforcement.

“The aimlessness and approach and tactics of this administration, are counter to democracy, to our democratic values,” Abarca said. “And so that reality we need to check this administration, or it’s going to get worse, faster.”

Jackson County Sheriff Darryl Forte has criticized the proposal, saying it was written without input from officers and would restrict what he called “reasonable actions necessary to protect life.”

Sixth District Legislator Sean Smith also raised concerns about the measure’s impact on de-escalation in tense situations.

“We can simply de-escalate if both sides are willing to. And, I don’t think that telling them they can’t wear a mask is going to be effective,” Smith said.

County lawmakers are expected to continue discussions on the ordinance as it moves through the legislative process.

‘We’re not leaving’: Community shows support for well-loved diner after devastating fire

    TONGANOXIE, Kansas (KMBC) — A fire on Friday afternoon destroyed the beloved Flashbacks diner in Tonganoxie, Kansas, as well as the home of its owners, Tuna and Debbie Conrad. The Tonganoxie community is now rallying support.

For years, the diner served as more than just a place to eat; it was a gathering spot, a community hub, and for many, a second home. Tuna Conrad expressed the deep connection they have with the community, saying, “And Tonganoxie, you know. But we’re going to miss them. And I know they’re going to miss us, but we’re not leaving Tonganoxie.”

The Conrads described Flashbacks as their prized possession, and the loss has been deeply felt by those who dined there.

“We’re blessed, we’re really blessed, truly, truly blessed,” they said.

Debbie Conrad shared her gratitude for the overwhelming support from the town and local business owners, saying, “It’s just overwhelming, the gratitude that we have for this town and even the business owners that have reached out to us. You know, you get up every day, you love what you do, but you don’t realize the impact that you have.”

The fire not only destroyed the diner but also the Conrads’ home, making the loss both personal and devastating.

The couple is also known for their generosity, having started a scholarship fund for local high school students to help them attend college. In response to the tragedy, a GoFundMe has been created to assist the owners, and an account has been set up at First State Bank for those wishing to contribute to the Flashbacks account.

Volunteers breathe sigh of relief after missing 12-year-old Oklahoma boy is found safe

    CHICKASHA, Oklahoma (KOCO) — A collective sigh of relief was felt in Chickasha, as 12-year-old Ryan “RJ” Davis was found alive on Sunday after being missing for more than a week.

The United Cajun Navy, a nonprofit organization, located RJ in a shelter north of Cement, not far from the property where he lived with his mother and stepfather, Kimberly and George Cole.

“Whatever we can do to help a child, we’re going to do it,” said Thomas Gentile, a volunteer with the United Cajun Navy. “If you have a skill set and you’re able to apply it, especially for a good cause and anything that helps children.”

After appearing in court on Monday, George attempted to take his own life in his jail cell. He survived and was taken to the hospital for further testing.

The community, including residents of Chickasha and surrounding Grady and Caddo counties, had spent the weekend searching for RJ, and his safe return was met with a collective sigh of relief.

“I was worried that he was no longer—I thought, you know, chances are slim, but kept hoping and praying,” said Vaughn Craddock, a neighbor.

Both suspects are expected to return to court in April.

In the days following RJ’s discovery, George and Kimberly Cole were charged with multiple offenses, including abuse and sexual abuse. Hunter McKee from the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation said the agency is working closely with the Department of Human Services to ensure RJ is placed in a safe home.

“The OSBI and the Chickasha Police Department, we’re going to work closely with DHS to make sure that RJ is put into a safe home, which he deserves at this time moving forward, of course,” McKee said.

They were robbed and nearly carjacked, then the women did something unexpected

    NASHVILLE (WTVF) — What began as a frightening robbery for one woman and a close call for another has led to an unexpected bond, forged through faith and coincidence.

Rita Tinnin and Sherry Tinnin Johnson said they met because of a crime — one that left Rita without her car and nearly made Sherry a victim as well.

Last Friday, Rita was working on Chestnut Street when she said that a man walked inside while holding a rock.

“He has this rock in his hand, and I looked at him and was like, ‘Can help you?’ And he kept walking pretty fast towards me,” Rita said.

Rita told police the man demanded her car keys and threatened her life.

“He lifted the rock over my head to hit me, and I thought, ‘Oh God, this is it,’” she said.

As she scrambled to find her keys, something else fell from her purse — a keychain given to her by her grandson.

“My little grandson’s cross he just gave me last week fell in my purse and told me I was going to love it, and I didn’t know how much I was going to love it,” Rita said.

The suspect drove off in Rita’s Nissan Rogue.

About 30 minutes later, police said the same suspect attempted to steal another Nissan Rogue at a gas station near Clarksville Pike and Old Hickory Boulevard. That’s where Sherry said she came face-to-face with the man when he tried to steal her Nissan Rogue.

“I said, ‘You get out of my car right now, and you’re not stealing it!’” Sherry recalled.

A witness blocked the suspect’s path, forcing him to flee on foot. Sherry said the man later returned to retrieve a backpack, giving her a chance to snap a photo. She posted the image online — and that’s how the two women connected.

As they talked, they realized they shared more than the same suspect.

“She knew my brother and lives in the same neighborhood as my nephew, and of course, she has the same last name as my maiden name, but we’re no kin,” Sherry said.

The connection led the two to worship together on Sunday at Rita’s home church.

“The odds of him coming from my work to not even two blocks from my church — I was going to meet a new friend,” Rita said.

Rita’s car has not been recovered, but she said something meaningful came from the ordeal.

“Really, it left me for a minute. I was omg I got a new person to church, and God has blessed us through a bad situation that has turned out to be a blessing,” she said.

The Metro Nashville Police Department said they are still searching for the suspect. Rita’s case has been assigned to a robbery detective, and the investigation remains ongoing.

Woman who was shocked on sidewalk with her dog speaks out: “Like he was being tased”

CNN on January 13, 2026


KDKA

    PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — A Pittsburgh area woman says she never expected the outpouring of support when she shared the details of her traumatic experience on social media.

Stray voltage from a nearby streetlight shocked her and her dog Denim, leaving him immobile.

“I want to raise awareness around this situation that apparently happens in Pittsburgh because it shouldn’t,” said Montana Mitchell.

For the first time, Mitchell is reliving what she can’t stop replaying in her mind. A post-run cool-down walk on Smallman Street with her dog Denim ended in panic.

“I wear his leash around my waist, and so it was a small buzz I felt around my waist, so I thought the shock was coming from me at first, so I ripped out my AirPods and took off my Apple Watch.”

But that didn’t help, and Mitchell watched her beloved chocolate lab scream out, convulsing, and foaming at the mouth right next to a streetlight on the sidewalk near 11th and Smallman streets.

“He had been thrown to his side, his legs were pushed out, and it looked like he was being tased,” said Mitchell. “When I realized he was being shocked, I didn’t know where it was coming from, so I didn’t know what to pull him away from. He’s also 85 pounds.”

Now she wonders if his size or her quick thinking saved him.

“I kind of had this split-second thought of, ‘OK, I got to get in there.’ So, I leaned over and started taking off his harness and his collars. That’s when I really felt the jolts of the shock. It went up and down my arms, through my chest, and down my spine.”

Miraculously, both Mitchell and her pup survived.

City officials confirmed Monday that something had previously struck the bottom of the streetlight, shifting the wires and causing a pinch in the wiring that energized the pole.

This happened almost two years to the day after Bob Robinson-Dassel’s dog Nikki died from electrocution after walking over a metal plate beneath a streetlight on the Murray Avenue Bridge, also energized by faulty wiring.

At the time, the City of Pittsburgh and former Mayor Ed Gainey’s administration hired a consulting company that recommended a city-wide check of its streetlights and electrical wiring.

Mayor Corey O’Connor’s administration told KDKA-TV that never happened.

“Once I learned that this wasn’t the first time this had happened, that’s really what compelled me to speak out publicly,” Mitchell said. “Otherwise, if it were a true freak accident, I would have kept it between family and friends.”

Mitchell told KDKA-TV that she is meeting with attorneys and plans to make a decision by the end of the week.

The city told KDKA-TV that it will now continue to complete the suggested city-wide inventory of all of the city’s streetlights to prevent this from happening again.

Who are Pittsburgh’s lemonade twins? Social media posts raise concerns.

CNN Newsource on January 13, 2026

    PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Twin boys have been seen selling lemonade for long hours several times a week, often in cold weather, on street corners throughout Pittsburgh and the suburbs for months.

Hundreds of people have posted concerns on the social media platform Reddit, saying the twins are being exploited and demanding action. The police have been called, and complaints have been filed with the Office of Children, Youth and Families. KDKA Lead Investigator Andy Sheehan looked into the concerns about the so-called lemonade twins.

The boys sell lemonade day after day, hour after hour, around the Pittsburgh area. While they appear to be working alone, KDKA Investigates observed a woman, believed to be their mother Sahira Mohammad, sitting within eyesight in a car nearby. Customers say the twins ask for $20 a cup but accept as little as $2 or $3.

It’s not clear where the money goes or whether it’s a business or a charity. They have an Instagram page that says they serve lemonade for peace. Mohammad told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette this summer that the lemonade sales “instill a sense of confidence, independence and discipline in her boys, as well as the value of entrepreneurship.”

However, many of the hundreds of people posting their concerns on Reddit say they believe the twins are being exploited, documenting multiple times they’ve been out in sub-freezing temperatures and during school hours. They say they’ve called the police, ChildLine and have asked CYF to intercede.

“We’re really grateful to the community reporting when they have concerns, whether it’s about these children or any other children that we see, and, of course, we’re taking action on those reports of abuse,” said Erin Dalton, director of the Allegheny County Department of Human Services.

Dalton said she is prohibited from discussing any investigation, but said complaints of this nature automatically initiate a process: a screening that can lead to an investigation, a finding within 60 days and possible action.

“I cannot report on where we are on any of these referrals, but those are processes that are underway for any referral that comes in,” Dalton said.

KDKA’s Andy Sheehan asked, “In this case, are these legitimate concerns?”

“We take every complaint and every concern about child abuse and neglect seriously, and we investigate those that we feel are merited,” Dalton said.

But a determination of abuse or neglect may not be so clear in this case.

If this is a family business, child welfare experts say that it may be little different from kids doing daily chores on a family farm. The Pittsburgh Bureau of Police has responded to several complaints but has found no evidence to charge the woman criminally. The police bureau issued a statement saying, in part:

“Officers have looked into the matter and so far they have found that the none of their sales have occurred during school hours or they occurred during days off from school. The children are also under supervision by a parent. At this time there is nothing to suggest any criminality with respect to their venture.”

Two days after Christmas, KDKA Investigates found the twins packing up their stand on the corner of Forbes and Murray avenues in Squirrel Hill. The mother left her car to collect them, and KDKA Investigates asked her to comment.

KDKA’s Andy Sheehan asked, “People are concerned about your kids.”

Mohammad said, “Can you please get the camera out my face?”

KDKA’s Andy Sheehan responded: “People are concerned about the state of your kids.”

“Can you please get away from me and my children, please. Thank you,” Mohammad said.

Dog’s cancer fight highlights the rising cost of veterinary care

CNN Newsource on January 13, 2026

By Wakisha Bailey

    PHILADELPHIA (KYW) — Lilo, a German Shepherd-Siberian Husky mix, was just 4 years old when she was diagnosed with cancer.

After months of chemotherapy and a leg amputation, her family finally received the news they had been hoping for: Lilo was cancer-free. But her journey also revealed a harsh reality many pet owners face: lifesaving veterinary care can come with overwhelming costs. Unlike human health care, most veterinary care is paid out of pocket.

Lilo’s owner, Karen Urbischi, says she never imagined being in this position. Lilo had been young and healthy, and Urbischi had lowered her pet insurance coverage years earlier, a decision she says she never thought she would regret.

“I wouldn’t forgive myself if I didn’t at least try,” Urbischi said.

Lilo was treated for a rare and aggressive cancer at Metropolitan Veterinary Associates, where specialists recommended aggressive treatment to give her the best chance at comfort and survival. Over time, veterinary bills added up quickly, totaling tens of thousands of dollars.

Experts say advanced veterinary medicine today often mirrors human health care, including specialized surgeries, oncology treatment, and prescription medications, all of which can require high out-of-pocket costs. According to the American Veterinary Medical Foundation, only 4% of pets are insured, even though it’s estimated there are more than 160 million pets nationwide.

To help manage expenses, Urbischi turned to her community, organizing fundraisers and receiving support from strangers who were moved by Lilo’s story.

While Lilo successfully completed cancer treatment, she later passed away from an infection at her incision site.

Urbischi says sharing Lilo’s journey is about helping other families prepare.

Experts recommend pet owners consider purchasing insurance early, when their animals are young and healthy, and ensure policies cover prescription medications, specialty care and emergency treatment before a medical crisis occurs.

Urbischi says she hopes Lilo’s story encourages others to ask questions, plan ahead and understand the financial realities that can come with caring for a beloved pet.

Teen found shot to death inside Chipotle bathroom on edge of Temple University’s campus

    PHILADELPHIA (KYW) — A 16-year-old boy was found shot dead inside a Chipotle bathroom on the edge of Temple University’s campus in North Philadelphia Monday, police said. The shooting happened as students and staff returned to campus for the first day of the spring 2026 semester.

The teen was found shot in the chest inside the Chipotle on the 1100 block of West Montgomery Avenue at around 5 p.m., according to police. The restaurant is on the ground floor of The View at Montgomery apartments, which is near Temple’s Student Center and TECH Center.

Police later identified the boy as Khyon Smith-Tate of North Philadelphia. Philadelphia Police Department Chief Inspector Scott Small said the 16-year-old was pronounced dead at 5:24 p.m.

“The loss of life to gun violence is a profound tragedy, and there are no words that can make sense of it,” Temple University President John Fry and Vice President for Public Safety and Chief of Police Jennifer Griffin said in a statement. “Our thoughts are with the victim’s family and loved ones.”

Small said police believe the shooting happened inside the bathroom of the Chipotle.

The 16-year-old and another minor asked for keys to enter the restroom, according to Small. Moments later, Chipotle employees found the 16-year-old shot in the chest. One spent shell casing from a semiautomatic weapon was also found inside the bathroom. While police didn’t identify the 16-year-old, Small said his last known address is eight blocks away from where the shooting happened.

Small said the Chipotle was very crowded and busy at the time of the shooting, and several people who were inside were being held for questioning. So far, they haven’t gotten information from anyone who heard a gunshot inside the store.

A person of interest was taken into custody a few blocks from the scene, but their involvement wasn’t clear, Small said. Police said Tuesday that no suspects had been arrested and no motive has been determined.

Small said police believe Smith-Tate entered the bathroom with another minor, but investigators aren’t sure about the latter’s whereabouts.

Police are seeking more information on three possible suspects, described as teenagers carrying backpacks.

Small said there are plenty of cameras in the area and police will use them in their investigation.

“We are heartbroken by the tragic incident that occurred at our restaurant on the 1100 block of Montgomery Avenue in Philadelphia and we hope the individuals responsible are apprehended and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” a Chipotle spokesperson said in a statement. “The safety of our employees and guests is our top priority. We are cooperating fully with the Philadelphia Police Department, and the restaurant will remain closed while we assist with their investigation.”

Chipotle added that the company is offering counseling services to workers at the restaurant.

Employee Jesús Lucero was off work and said he got messages from co-workers about the shooting.

“No one actually knows how it happened,” Lucero said. “But the crew members are OK. Everyone that’s working was OK.”

Meanwhile, students are processing the shooting just steps from where they attend class — an area they say often draws teens after school.

“Like a big crowd or something on the streets, I don’t know what neighborhood they come from, but it’s usually in the afternoon after school,” Mauricio Gonzalez, a sophomore at Temple, said. “I mean, someone needs to watch out for these children. Where are their parents, you know? They’re not looking out for these people.”

Temple is encouraging any students impacted by the shooting to seek support through Tuttleman Counseling Services.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact the Philadelphia Police Department.
