 A Mother's Day Nightmare in Princeton, Illinois. A 3-year-old boy was struck by gunfire as police burst into a barricaded room, ending a frightening hostage situation. Multiple agencies responded to the Hummingbird Mobile Home Park in Princeton, Illinois, on Sunday, May 10th at 2:42 a.m. The initial call went out as a domestic disturbance but officers discovered much worse.  42-year-old, Anthony Rodriguez, had barricaded himself in a room armed with a knife. Anthony had taken several people as hostages, including Aurora Almanza and her 3-year-old son.  Multiple agencies were on the scene, including the Bureau County Sheriff's Office, Illinois State Police and  the Princeton Police Department.  Authorities attempted to negotiate but ultimately rushed the room when they heard screaming coming from inside.  Officials have reported that officers fired shots as they entered the room.

X ACCOUNT OF PRO-PALESTINIAN EGYPTIAN COMEDIAN DISAPPEARS. (PHOTO).


 X account of pro-Palestinian Egyptian comedian disappears


The X account of Egyptian-American comedian Bassem Youssef disappeared on Tuesday.


The reason for the removal of his account, which had nearly 12 million followers, is unknown, AA reported.


Youssef said on his final post on X before the account disappeared: “Antisemitism was an accusation that used to freeze the blood on people’s veins. I see many people now realizing how this fear tactic is used to shutdown conversations and scare people.


He added: “It’s been overused and abused in order to intimidate people. Are you still scared to be called an antisemite by those Zionist? Vote and tell me in the comments. No, I don’t give a … anymore. Or: Yes I’m still scared.”


The comedian’s Instagram account is still active, as of this writing, and was posted to some 16 hours ago. Many celebrities, however, use professional teams to help maintain their social media.


Last October, Youssef did an interview with British journalist Piers Morgan on Israel’s offensive on Gaza, then less than a month old, that went viral.


His pointed critique of Israel's violence against the people of Gaza and Palestinians got significant attention.


Hala Diab, Youssef’s wife, is from Gaza, and her criticisms of Israel also attracted attention.


Youssef, a former cardiothoracic surgeon, has lived and worked in the United States since around 2015.
