💥 Magruder High School student charged as adult with attempted second-degree murder The 17-year-old Maryland student was armed with an “ghost gun," police in Montgomery County said. The suspect, Steven Alston Jr., was being held without bond and is expected to appear in court Monday.
Police believe the suspect was armed with a “ghost gun,” a weapon assembled from different parts. The proliferation of such guns, which are untraceable, has alarmed police and prosecutors around the country.

Alston is alsocharged with first-degree assault, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony/violent crime, first-degree assault, possession of a dangerous weapon on school property and possession of a firearm by a minor, according to police.

👷♂️ Amazon facing formal complaint from labor board over worker firing
The National Labor Relations Board is preparing to issue a complaint against Amazon, alleging that the company illegally fired a worker at one of its New York warehouses, unless the company first settles the case. At issue is whether Daequan Smith, an organizer with the newly-formed Amazon Labor Union (ALU), was fired for his work toward organizing.
The ALU Is awaiting a hearing on its petition to hold a union election at four of Amazon’s warehouses on Staten Island. Smith was a worker at one of the Staten Island warehouses, and has reportedly been left homeless.
The NLRB has the authority to reinstate workers fired for organizing, but it’s not clear whether it would do so in this case.

Ghislaine Maxwell, who was found guilty of sex trafficking, is now learning Russian to avoid going insane in her prison cell, The Mail on Sunday has reported.
Maxwell doesn’t have access to pens, pencils, and books — but is allowed to use a laptop for a few hours a day to learn the language.
Why Russian, though? 🤔

😳 A Florida jogger managed to fight off a teenager who ‘planned sex games’ with his corpse.
Florida police have arrested an 18-year-old local, Logan Smith, after he attacked and attempted to kill a jogger, whose corpse he planned to hide in his closet at home to use it in "his sexual fantasies", state law enforcement has revealed in their report.
Unfortunately for the attacker, the runner knew some martial arts moves, which he used to overpower and restrain the assailant until the police arrived.
The attacker planned to use a rubber mallet and deodorant spray to stun and disorient the victim, but instead simply tried to strangle him using a clothing robe belt, the report said of Smith's plans. He tossed the belt over the victim’s head and around his neck, but the jogger managed to break free and repel the attack.
The 18-year-old allegedly claimed that he decided to implement his murderous plan after watching the film "Scream".

🚫 Anti-vaccine activists march in DC to protest mandates
Thousands of protesters from across the country — including some of the biggest names in the anti-vaccination movement — descended on the nation’s capital on Sunday for a rally against vaccine mandates.
Organizers had projected that 20,000 people would attend the rally, marching from the Washington Monument to the Lincoln Memorial, according to a permit issued by the National Park Service. A smaller crowd of several thousand, however, arrived on the Mall by early Sunday afternoon.
Nevertheless, national surveys suggest that an estimated 1 in 5 American adults remain unvaccinated. Among children ages 5 to 11, who became eligible for the shots in November, fewer than 20 percent are thought to be vaccinated.
