Mass shooting in Cincinnati leaves 11 dead, five others injured



CINCINNATI — Cincinnati officials are expressing outrage and horror over a drive-by shooting that sent more than two dozen bullets into a crowd of children, killing an 11-year-old boy and striking four other children and an adult.

The victims were near an intersection Friday evening when an occupant of a dark sedan fired 22 shots in quick succession, Police Chief Terri Theetge told reporters Sunday. The affected boys were aged 11, 12, 13 and 15; and a 15-year-old girl; and a 53-year-old woman. One victim remained hospitalized in stable condition.

Two of the children attended Cincinnati Preparatory Academy, including the boy who was killed. The other three attended Cincinnati public schools. One of the injured victims remains hospitalized in stable condition, while the others have been released.

Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval, who called the shooting “sickening and unimaginable,” said children were playing outside when the shots rang out in the city’s West End. The stage is within walking distance of a daycare, a girls’ dance studio and a playground.

“Twenty-two shots were fired,” Pureval said. “Twenty-two rounds in an instant – in a crowd of kids. No time to respond. No time to react. »

Authorities have not released any information about a suspect nor have they said whether the shooting was targeted.

The shooting is the latest incident in a wave of gun violence sweeping across the country. As of Sunday evening, there have been 596 mass shootings in the United States this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive. More than 1,200 teenagers (ages 12 to 17) were killed and 3,400 injured in 2023, records show. More than 250 children (aged 11 and under) were killed and nearly 570 injured.

“Such violence cannot be our status quo”

“This is not an act of God; This is not a natural disaster. The devastation, damage and loss of life are a shock to all of us, but they stem from the actions of real people and they (are) made possible by access to,” City Manager Sheryl Long told reporters, sometimes holding back tears, during a press conference Sunday afternoon.

“Violence like this cannot be our status quo,” Long said, adding that she has also lost family members to gun violence.

In response to Friday’s shooting, Cincinnati police intend to expand the presence of uniformed and non-uniformed officers in the West End in addition to the use of cameras, Theetge said.

A team of social workers are also stepping up to offer support to residents in the West End. Long said the city will also send staff to Hays-Porter Elementary School, Taft High School and Cincinnati College Preparatory Academy on Monday.

Before Friday’s shooting, two teenagers aged 16 and 14 were shot in the West End neighborhood. Thirty other adults have been shot there this year, according to Cincinnati police data. The neighborhood had already seen three homicides so far in 2023.

Long said the neighborhood has seen “disproportionately high” levels of gun violence, but the city’s efforts to combat violence there – including a months-long investigation into a concentrated area of ​​crime at Livingston and John streets that led to the closing of a liquor store – led to some results.

A father’s plea for information

Given the rise in shootings involving teens in the city, police have begun specifically tracking child homicide statistics, Pureval said, citing access to guns and inappropriate conflict resolution as causes of this violence.

He said 40 percent of illegal guns on Cincinnati’s streets come from cars. City officials have repeatedly asked gun owners to lock up their firearms to prevent the weapons from being stolen and used in crimes.

“The tendency to immediately use deadly force, no matter how small, is overwhelming,” the mayor said. “The gun violence we see is no longer concentrated in one neighborhood or around drug trafficking. Due to the universal accessibility of guns, they are everywhere, especially among our children.

Although authorities have not yet identified the slain boy, Issac Davis, his father, asked anyone with information about the child’s death to come forward.

“When is this going to stop?” Will it ever stop? He asked. “Like how many people have to bury their children, their babies, their loved ones? »

The investigation by the Cincinnati Police Homicide Unit is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to call investigators at 513-352-3542.

Samsung takes a giant step, but the news leaves you breathless. If their plans go well, in 2030 they will have factories without human personnel


Samsung has become one of the most important technology companies in the world in recent years. The South Korean firm, known for its impact on the smartphone market, is also a pioneer in other fields such as televisions, chips or next-generation screens. For this reason, many companies are attentive to the steps taken by Samsung, and the last of these is in line with a measure that Amazon has already adopted: introducing independent technology in its facilities.

The firm created by Jeff Bezos, which was born as an online book sales portal, has evolved so much that it has already left its beginnings 30 years ago behind. Currently, Amazon has become the technology giant with the most presence worldwide, and therefore is also a reference for many other firms in the sector. Thus, the introduction of robots in its warehouses has caused many to want to follow in its footsteps, but Samsung’s plans have revealed that they plan to take this intention to the limit. next level.

A plan with a view to 2030

According to information from the Techspot portal, the South Korean firm’s intention is to have totally independent factories in the next 6 years. Thus, they hope to achieve this goal in the year 2030, a date by which they hope that their production and chip manufacturing processes will have become so automated that, in short, human labor is not necessary. To do this, they will have a smart sensor which will measure the uniformity of the plasma of the wafers influencing etching, deposition and cleaning.

In this way, the firm’s intention is to draw up a major plan for its artificial intelligence factory. To do this, they will use fully automated plants that will not need human workers. However, this emphasizes a general fear: robots that replace people. Samsung currently employs more than 270,000 people in 74 countries, and this situation could take a 180º turn if they manage to make their plan prosper. Be that as it may, the South Korean company has already joined Amazon’s plans and, barring a major surprise, it will not be the only one.

‘The Snow Society’ leaves empty at the Golden Globes compared to ‘Anatomy of a Fall’, but the Oscar wild card is still saved


‘The Snow Society’ hasn’t had any luck at the Golden Globes. JA Bayona’s latest film not only hasn’t had a great run in theaters (taking into account that it was a reduced Netflix release, it’s no surprise either), but failed to win the award for Best Foreign Language Film at last night’s gala. However, the absence of ‘Anatomy of a Fall’ and other strong competitors could be its wild card for the Oscars.

Icy response

We already have the list of winners of the past Golden Globes and, among the awarded films, finally The wonderful ‘Anatomy of a Fall’ won Best Foreign Language Film. It is not surprising, considering that the film has swept festivals, including the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Festival.

The film directed by Justine Triet beat tough competitors in its category, such as ‘Past Lives’ (USA), ‘I, Captain’ (Italy), ‘The Zone of Interest’ (United Kingdom) and ‘The Snow Society’ (Spain).

However, All may not be lost for Spain ahead of the Oscars: Bayona’s revision of this remembered survival story (on which ‘Viven’ is also based) may have a chance at the Hollywood Academy Awards, since it will not compete directly against its winner.

For some incomprehensible reason, France decided that it was a better idea to submit ‘Slow Fire’ as a candidate for the Oscars, thus leaving ‘Anatomy of a Fall’ out of competition. Nor will it participate in the ‘Past Lives’ category because, although Korean is the majority language of the film, it is an American production.

The absence of these two rivals makes things easier for BayonaHowever, it will still have to knock down other more than interesting foreign productions that have many chances to succeed, such as the aforementioned ‘I, Captain’, the celebrated ‘Fallen Leaves’ or ‘Perfect Days’, the latest from Wim Wenders.

Orange Spain suffers a possible hack that leaves its users without Internet. The company is already working on the solution


If you are an Orange customer in Spain and you are having problems, it is not a matter of your installation. And in recent hours, numerous incidents have been reported among the operator’s clients, leaving many of them without Internet access. And if the suspicions are right, it doesn’t seem like an easy problem to solve.

And, as Broadband points out, Orange would have suffered an attack. Specifically, Orange’s RIPE NCC account would have been hijacked and, hence, the Internet access problems.

What is happening with Orange Spain

The acronym RIPE NCC corresponds to Réseau IP Européens Network Coordination Center and it is a vital organization for the management of IP addresses and, wow, the coordination of Internet infrastructure in Europe, the Middle East and part of Central Asia.

Although there are many operators, they are not the ones that directly control the Internet and it is organizations like RIPE NCC that manage users around the planet. There are only five of these organizations, to give you an idea of ​​their magnitude.

That being said, a user named Ms_Snow_OwO has claimed responsibility for the attack on the Orange account and its kidnapping. She has done it in X with a message that is accompanied by a few screenshots.

Almost making fun of Orange Spainthe alleged hacker has commented that he has “fixed” the company’s RIPE security administrator account and that, if they want the new access credentials, they can send him a message.

This was hours before Down Detector indicated the fall of the Orange network in Spain and users began to express their anger with the whole matter.

Orange has not issued any statement throughout the afternoon, limiting itself to responding to some users who were complaining about X, but at 6:59 p.m. Spanish time, the account shared the following publication:

This is a message set to alert users and They affirm that service will be restored shortly for all customers. From SamaGame, we have contacted the company and we will update as soon as we have more information.
