-Lurid Crime Tales-
Makhachkala resident opens fire near shopping center
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited..
[KavkazUzel] Law enforcement agencies in Dagestan are searching for a man who opened fire near a shopping center in Makhachkala; the second participant in the conflict has been taken to the police. The incident was triggered by a passerby's "interested" look at the shooter's wife.

The incident occurred this evening near the Etazhi shopping center, located at the intersection of Gamidov and Imam Shamil avenues in Makhachkala 

“A conflict occurred between two men, one of whom fired several shots from a traumatic pistol towards his opponent and fled the scene,” the official Telegram channel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Dagestan reported. 
Pellet gun
One of the participants in the incident was taken to the police department, and the shooter is being sought, the department clarified. According to them, no one was injured in the shooting. 

The details of the incident are given in her Telegram channel "Criminal Chronicle" by the head of the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Dagestan Gayana Gariyeva. According to her, the man with the gun did not like the look of a random passerby at his wife, who was walking next to him. 

"A man passed by them, and one of them didn't like the look he cast at the woman (either the wife, who shared this with her husband, or the husband himself). The woman was wearing a niqab. Despite this, the passerby's gaze seemed overly interested to the spouses," she writes. Gariyeva confirms that the shooter "didn't hit anyone" and that there were no casualties as a result of the incident. The weapon was presumably traumatic.

The circumstances of the incident were described in detail by member of the Public Chamber of Dagestan Shamil Khadulaev.

“A husband and wife in a niqab were leaving the Etazhi shopping center, another guy was coming in and the husband of the woman in a niqab made a claim to the guy who was entering that he was looking at his wife. They had an argument, went outside and fought. They were separated after they hit each other a few times, then the married guy ran to the car and pulled out a traumatic pistol. The other guy saw this and ran into the Green Apple supermarket in the same building. The married man ran into the supermarket after him and shot him twice, as he was running away. After that, the supermarket security guard tried to grab him, but the shooter guy dodged and ran away - he got into the car with his wife and stepped on the gas,” Khadulaev wrote on his Telegram channel, without specifying whether he personally witnessed all the events described.

70 piles of human remains found in Nevada
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Seventy piles of human remains have been discovered in Nevada south of Las Vegas. This was reported by WFLA-TV, citing the Bureau of Land Management.

"An official confirmed to investigators that the piles were human remains," the report said.

According to the TV channel, the local investigative department is currently conducting an investigation to establish the causes of the incident.

At the same time, under current law, Las Vegas allows the scattering of ashes on public lands of the city, but there is a ban on the “commercial distribution of cremated remains.”
So not necessarily a Mafia burial site? That’s comforting.

-Short Attention Span Theater-
Another 45,000lbs of [Indonesia] shrimp are recalled over fears they could be radioactive
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Two more recalls have been issued for shrimp believed to have been exposed to a radioactive compound that may cause cancer if ingested.

AquaStar Corp of Seattle, Washington is recalling 26,460 packages of 6 oz Cocktail Shrimp products and 18,000 bags of Kroger Mercado Cooked Medium Peeled Tail-off Shrimp products.

The shrimp were imported from Indonesia and are being recalled because 'they may have been prepared, packed, or held under insanitary conditions whereby they may have become contaminated with cesium-137 (Cs-137),' the FDA recall notice stated.

Cs-137 is a man-made radioactive byproduct of nuclear waste and nuclear weapons tests.

It is present at very low levels in the environment, partially as a result of nuclear tests, and is generally harmless.

But once inside the body, the substance can become lodged in tissues and release low-level radiation over time that can damage DNA and cause cells to turn cancerous.

The products in the recalls were sent to the US by BMS Foods from Indonesia and officials from both countries are working to determine the source of the contamination.

These two new recalls follow two others from earlier this month involving Great Value raw frozen shrimp sold at Walmart and Sand Bar, Best Yet, Arctic Shores, Great American Seafood Imports and First Street shrimp products sold at Kroger and through Instacart.

The cocktail shrimp products were sold in Walmart stores in more than two dozen states across the US between July 31, 2025 and August 16, 2025.

The peeled tail-off shrimp products were sold at Baker’s, Gerbes, Jay C, Kroger, Mariano’s, Metro Market, Pay Less Supermarkets, and Pick ‘n Save in 17 states, mainly in the south and Midwest, between July 24, 2025 and August 11, 2025.
UPC and lot codes can be seen at the link.
No illnesses have been reported in connection to any of the recalls and the FDA said: 'At this time, no product that has tested positive or alerted for Cesium-137 (Cs-137) has entered the U.S. commerce.'

Switzerland Tops US As World's Wealthiest Nation Per Person
[ZERO] In 2024, global wealth per person increased by 4.6%, but which countries have the highest wealth per person?

This visualization, via Visual Capitalist's Niccolo Conte, ranks the top 15 countries by average and median wealth per person, based on data from the UBS Global Wealth Report 2025.

Highest Average Wealth per Person by Country

Average wealth is calculated by dividing a country’s total household wealth by its adult population. While useful, this figure can be skewed by large wealth concentrations at the very top—such as billionaire holdings.
