Bodycam Reveals Deadly Confrontation

The courtroom erupted in emotion as body camera footage of the fatal stabbing of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf played for the jury—capturing the harrowing moments after the attack at a high school track meet. Now 19, Karmelo Anthony faces first-degree murder charges, accused of stabbing Metcalf during a heated argument at a team tent. Prosecutors say Anthony was repeatedly asked to leave before the confrontation, while his defense argues self-defense. The prosecution paints it as a “sneak, surprise attack,” suggesting Anthony provoked the violence. Outside, tensions flare as online videos show racially charged clashes between supporters of Anthony and those rallying for Metcalf’s family. Metcalf’s father insists this tragedy is about a terrible choice—not race or politics—and urges the public to keep it that way. If convicted, Anthony could face a lengthy prison sentence, though he’s ineligible for the death penalty due to his age at the time.

Baby Killed in West Bank Shooting

A seven-month-old Palestinian baby, Sam Fahd Abu Haikal, was fatally shot by Israeli troops in the occupied West Bank, alongside his mother and father, during a military operation that has sparked international outrage. The infant was struck by a bullet that pierced the car’s windshield, while his mother was also wounded and his father sustained a hand injury. The Israeli military claims they fired after the vehicle appeared to accelerate toward them, but eyewitnesses and family members describe a horrific scene. This tragic incident comes amid a surge in violence in the West Bank, where over 1,000 Palestinians—including more than 200 children—have been killed since the Gaza conflict began.
