 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.

 ASUU suspends two-weeks warning strike


The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has announced the suspension of its two-week warning strike, which began on October 13, 2025.


The union said the suspension of the warning strike, which was due to expire next Monday, October 27, followed renewed commitments from the Federal Government to address key issues raised by the union.


ASUU had embarked on the industrial action after the expiration of an earlier 14-day ultimatum issued to the government, citing what it described as “persistent neglect and insincerity” in resolving long-standing demands contained in the 2009 FGN/ASUU Agreement.


The demands include the payment of withheld salaries, promotion arrears, earned academic allowances (EAA), release of third-party deductions, and revitalisation funding for public universities.


Addressing a press conference in Abuja this morning October 22, the National President of ASUU, Professor Chris Piwuna, said the strike was suspended at the union’s executive meeting that ended in the early hours of Wednesday.


He said there would have been no warning strike at all if the government had been sincere with the negotiation from the onset.


He commended the intervention of the Senate, which made it possible for the union to consider the suspension of the strike action.


“NEC resolved that the warning strike is hereby suspended with immediate effect. Should the government fail to address the issues within one month, ASUU reserves the right to return to its initial decision,” Piwuna said
