NY Jets player

wounded

NEW YORK (AP) — New York’s mayor’s office says Jets cornerback Kris Boyd was critically injured in a shooting in midtown Manhattan. The New York Police Department says a 29-year-old man shot early Sunday was taken to a hospital, where he was in critical but stable condition.

There have been no arrests. Mayor Eric Adams’ office says that the man shot was Boyd. In a social media post, Adams says he’s praying for Boyd and his loved ones. A Jets spokesperson says the team is “aware of the situation.”

Boyd hasn’t played this season, his first with the Jets, after going on the season-ending injured reserve list in August.

Carrier arrives

in Caribbean

WASHINGTON (AP) — The most advanced U.S. aircraft carrier has arrived in the Caribbean Sea in a display of American military power. The presence of the USS Gerald R. Ford on Sunday raises questions about what the new influx of troops and weaponry could signal next about the Trump administration’s intentions in Latin America.

The Ford’s arrival marks a major moment in what the administration insists is a counterdrug operation but has been seen as an escalating pressure tactic against Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.

He says on his Facebook page Maduro that the “Venezuelan people are ready to defend their homeland against any criminal aggression.”

Immigration

arrests in NC

(AP) — A top Border Patrol commander is touting dozens of arrests in North Carolina’s largest city on Sunday as Charlotte residents report encounters with federal immigration agents near churches and apartment complexes.

The Trump administration has made the Democratic city of about 950,000 people its latest target for an immigration enforcement surge it says will combat crime. That’s despite fierce objections from local leaders and downtrending crime rates.

The effort is dubbed “Operation Charlotte’s Webb” as a play on the title of a famous children’s book that isn’t about North Carolina. The flurry of activity immediately raised questions, including where detainees would be held.

Fetterman

injured in fall

WASHINGTON (AP) — John Fetterman says he’s back home with his family in Pennsylvania after being hospitalized. The senator’s office said he had a ventricular fibrillation flare-up that caused him to feel light-headed and fall during an early morning walk Thursday.

The Democratic lawmaker posted a picture Saturday on X that showed the aftereffects to his nose and forehead, saying “20 stitches later and a full recovery, I’m back home.” Fetterman also says he was grateful for the medical team that treated him.
