Police hail “clear-headed actions” of staff who protected young campers from gunman who fired shots at sports complex
Staffers are being hailed after their quick response helped keep children safe when a gunman opened fire Monday at a Texas sports complex where a summer camp was being held, police said.
The Duncanville Police Department said they received calls Monday morning about a man with a handgun at the Fieldhouse, and officers arrived in less than three minutes. After they located the suspect, officers exchanged gunfire with the gunman and wounded him. He was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
A summer camp for 4- to 14-year-olds was starting its second week at the complex when the shooting happened. Police praised the staff for flawlessly following lockdown procedures at the camp, which has about 250 kids and staff.

How the ‘MAGA Squad’ Is Building Power to Control the Next Congress
Gaetz and Greene are the ringleaders of the GOP’s most hard-core, pro-Trump congressional faction. The MAGA Squad, as you might call them, is not a formal caucus, but its numbers are growing—despite the impending departure of one prominent member, Rep. Madison Cawthorn, who lost his North Carolina primary after scandals ranging from insider-trading allegations to lewd videos. The group includes freshmen members like Lauren Boebert, who accused a Muslim colleague of being a member of the “Jihad Squad,” as well as longer-serving representatives like Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, who pushed Trump’s Department of Justice to throw out electoral votes after the 2020 election, and Paul Gosar of Arizona, who has extensive ties to white nationalists and once posted an animated video showing him murdering Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez with a sword. There’s Representative Andy Biggs of Arizona, who allegedly helped plan the Jan. 6 rally that preceded the Capitol riot, and Mo Brooks of Alabama, who spoke at the rally. Several members have been subpoenaed by the Jan. 6 Committee, which is also investigating Representative Barry Loudermilk for leading what some have called a “reconnaissance” tour of the closed Capitol on Jan. 5, 2021. There have long been rabble-rousing right-wingers in Congress, but this group makes the Freedom Caucus seem tame.
