 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.

 Chad ends ties with Prince Harry conservation charity for wildlife failures


A conservation charity which has Britain's Prince Harry as a board member has been kicked off its projects in Chad after the Chadian government accused it of failing to protect wildlife, Reuters reported.


Harry, King Charles's younger son, was appointed to the governing board of African Parks (APN) in 2023 after seven years of involvement with the charity, which was set up to protect natural habits and wildlife.


Chad's environment minister Hassan Bakhit Djamous said the decision to cut ties came in response to "the resurgence of poaching and the severe lack of investment" including in infrastructure and anti-poaching efforts, "the failure of APN to respect key clauses of the agreements" and "recurring irreverence shown towards the government of Chad".


African Parks, which manages parks in 12 other countries including Angola, Malawi and Zambia, confirmed Chad had terminated its two management mandates there.


"African Parks has initiated discussions with the ministry to understand the government’s position and to explore the best possible way forward in support of the continued protection of these critical conservation landscapes," it said in a statement.


It is the second time this year a charity linked to the prince Harry has attracted negative headlines.


He stepped down from Sentebale, which he helped set up to help people with HIV and AIDS in Lesotho and Botswana, after a public row with its chair, Sophie Chandauka, who accused Harry and the trustees of bullying, misogyny and racism.


Britain's charity regulator said in August it had found no evidence of bullying.


Harry, who lives in California with Meghan and their two children, stopped working as a member of the British royal family in 2020.
