Share

The victims of the LGBTQ club mass shooting have been revealed; driver explains how he ran into a group of cadets; and one person is dead after a car crashes into an Apple store. These stories and more highlight the morning rundown for Tuesday, Nov. 22, 2022. 

Victims identified in mass shooting – Officials identified the five people who died in Saturday night’s mass shooting in Colorado Springs at an LGBTQ club. Some of the victims worked at the club and others were visiting for the first time. Authorities charged the alleged shooter with five counts of murder and a hate crime.

An Army veteran who was in the bar at the time of the shooting is credited for taking the shooter down and saving countless lives.

“I just know I got into mode, and I needed to save my family. And that family was, at that time, everybody in that room,” Richard Fierro said.

Driver who hit recruits says he fell asleep – Last week 25 law enforcement recruits were on a morning jog when an SUV crashed into them. The driver who plowed into the group says he fell asleep at the wheel.

Dramatic video captured the moment an SUV slammed into 25 law enforcement recruits. Five of the joggers were critically injured, and one is in grave condition. A tragedy that the driver says was an accident.

The driver was reportedly on the way to work and says he fell asleep. This is after the local Sheriff’s Department said they had reason to believe it was intentional.

No charges have been filed in the ongoing investigation.

Car crashes into busy Apple store – One person is dead and at least 19 others are injured after a car plowed into an Apple store just outside of Boston Monday morning.

Officials said the store was crowded with holiday shoppers when the car came barreling inside, but how the crash happened is under investigation. Police say they have been questioning the driver.

“This morning was an unthinkable morning and people are trying to get through it and process what happened. This investigation is active and ongoing. We are very limited as to what we can say at this point,” Plymouth County District Attorney Tim Cruz said.

Senators’ call to action on Live Nation – It was one week ago when all was calm on Ticketmaster, before the presale of Taylor Swift concert tickets went live. The sale broke down parts of its website and brought renewed attention to a government probe into the company’s size.

The DOJ reportedly announced an investigation into Ticketmaster and its parent company “Live Nation.” The two powerhouses in ticket sales merged with government approval back in 2010. But now, three U.S. senators are sounding off on anti-trust laws, urging the Justice Department to break up Ticketmaster and Live Nation.

The senators say the company is eating up competition for ticket sales. Live Nation owns about 60% of the market space.

Iran protests during World Cup – During the World Cup on Monday, soccer players for Iran stood in silence and in solidarity with its people during the country’s national anthem before the match began.

The players refused to sing along to the anthem as an act of protest toward their country amid unrest. Protests erupted around the world after a 22-year-old girl died in Iranian police custody. Iranian authorities allegedly arrested her for not abiding by the country’s dress code.

Many are calling the protests the most significant sign of defiance that the Iranian government has seen in decades.
