-Lurid Crime Tales-
Man charged in Little River boat party shooting was Navy sailor, official says
[WMBF News] HORRY COUNTY, S.C. (WMBF) - New details are emerging about the man charged in a mass shooting in Little River.

Shawon Williams, 19, worked as a Navy hull maintenance technician seaman assigned to the Great Lakes area, according to Cmrd. Jessica McNulty, a spokesperson for the U.S. Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery.

McNulty said that the Naval Criminal Investigative Service arrested Williams on Thursday. From there, authorities in Lake County, Illinois, took him into custody.

Williams signed his extradition waiver Friday morning, according to Lake County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Chief Christopher Covelli.

As of Friday, Williams was at the Lake County jail awaiting pickup from Horry County.

The Horry County Police Department said it plans to charge Williams with multiple counts of attempted murder and possession of a weapon during a crime in connection with the May 25 shooting.

Shots were fired in the parking lot of a charter boat business off Watson Avenue after an argument on a party boat carrying over 120 people.

Mass stabbing in downtown Salem as at least 11 people are rushed to hospital
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A stabbing spree at a homeless shelter in downtown Salem, Oregon on Sunday left at least 11 people injured.

Salem Police said they responded to a call about a stabbing incident involving multiple victims at the Union Gospel Mission of Salem at around 7.15pm, the Statesman Journal reports.

Eleven people were then transported to Salem Health hospital with various injuries as the unidentified suspect was taken into custody.

Video posted online appeared to show officers apprehending a man lying facedown on the sidewalk.

The victims were described in emergency radio traffic as being inside the shelter, in front of the business and across the street.

One victim was also described as 'bleeding heavily from the neck,' according to the Statesman Journal.

The identity of the suspect and a motive for the attack remain unclear.

But witness Malik Law said he watched in horror as the man stabbed at least seven people.

'Everybody was basically trying to move out of his way,' Law told the Statesman Journal. 'He started attacking them.'

#1  "Pride is known as hubris (from the Ancient Greek ὕβρις) or futility. Strictly within the historical context of Judeo-Christian theology, is considered the original and worst of the seven deadly sins — the most demonic — on almost every list, often associated with the fall of Lucifer, who is said to have rebelled out of pride. Pride, within this very context, is also thought to be the source of the other capital sins. Pride is viewed as the opposite of humility."

-Signs, Portents, and the Weather-
Solar flare plasma cloud reaches Earth ahead of forecast
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] After a powerful solar flare on May 31, a plasma cloud reached Earth earlier than scientists predicted. This was announced on June 1 by Sergei Bogachev, head of the Solar Astronomy Laboratory at the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

"According to the readings of space tracking devices, a plasma cloud ejected by the Sun yesterday has reached Earth. An exceptionally strong jump in all parameters of the interplanetary environment was recorded today at 08:30 Moscow time," he noted.

The scientist explained that at the moment the speed of the solar wind sometimes exceeds 1000 km/s. In addition, very high values ​​of density and temperature have been recorded. At the same time, the plasma cloud has covered the distance from the Sun to the Earth almost a day faster than predicted.

He also added that if a large portion of the plasma has approached the Earth, then magnetic storms of the fifth, highest level will almost inevitably begin by the evening of June 1.

On May 31, Bogachev reported that, according to preliminary data, the gas cloud is expected to arrive at Earth on June 1 at about 16:00 Moscow time. Astronomers have named a magnetic storm at the G4 level as the most likely scenario. Due to the magnetic storm, serious interference in radio communications, disruptions to satellite and radio frequency navigation, and polar lights are expected, which can be observed even at tropical latitudes.

Scientists have moved the magnetic storm rating to the extreme category

The level of the magnetic storm that began on Earth on June 1 may intensify from category G4 (very strong) to the maximum G5 (extremely strong). This was warned by scientists from the Laboratory of X-ray Astronomy of the Sun of the Space Research Institute and the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

"The planetary index Kp is currently at level G4. Although yesterday such indicators would have looked exceptionally large, now it is clear that we are talking about playing for completely different stakes, and the question is whether the geomagnetic index will reach level 5 in the coming hours," the laboratory's website says.

It is noted that in recent hours the speed of the solar wind outside the Earth's magnetosphere has exceeded 1000 km/s. It periodically rises to 1100 km/s and goes beyond the charts. Also, specialists from time to time record "unreal values" of temperature in the flow of solar plasma that covered the Earth.

The main mystery for experts is the low plasma density, despite the very large ejection. But this explains the high temperatures in the flow.

"The general impression is that the Earth was hit by a very wide, fast, but almost empty tube of twisted magnetic field. The low density partially explains the high temperature values, since with a small number of particles the very concept of temperature loses its meaning, and the chaotic (real thermal) component of the velocity is isolated with very large errors," the scientists said.

The laboratory noted that science is currently only able to observe what is happening.

As reported by IA Regnum, on May 31, scientists recorded the largest emission on the Sun since the beginning of the year. In this case, the plasma flew towards the Earth. The power of the flow is only slightly less than that of the flow in May 2024, which caused a magnetic storm of the fifth category on the planet.

The plasma cloud traveled towards Earth at a speed of over 1,000 km/s. It reached the planet almost a day earlier than scientists had predicted.
