A possible mass shooting at Mariemont HS was thwarted Wednesday all thanks to a brave 15-year-old. Boom Swallen said a student showed him a kill list, so he reported it. Boom's dad spoke with me today. He said his son saved lives and he couldn't be more proud. @WCPO

KNBC’s Colleen Williams has now made official confirmation. Absolutely heartbreaking. 💔
It’s heartbreaking to listen to KNBC’s Coleen Williams describe a scene involving the station’s helicopter. I cannot imagine having to be live on the air at a time like this. My condolences to everyone at @NBCLA and everyone now having to report on this tragedy.

🗣️ Zlatan Ibrahimović: “I’m going to be honest here. Even as someone who loves Messi, this World Cup has looked like a tournament prepared for Argentina to win. When I watch other matches and then watch Argentina’s games, it makes me wonder whether the rules are different for Argentina’s players. They don’t play like a team that came to play football; they play as if it’s a karate competition. Yet despite all of that, the referees don’t give them cards. I have seen so many challenges that deserved yellow or red cards, but the referees refused to show them. For Argentina’s second goal, Messi stepped on Spence, and VAR didn’t review it. Yet against Egypt, VAR disallowed Egypt’s goal for the exact same reason. The same thing has happened in other matches they have played. I don’t think it’s fair to say this World Cup has been fair because everything points to the fact that they want Argentina to win so badly. It’s very shameful that FIFA has not looked into all of this.”
