A Corpus Christi, Texas, police officer fatally shot an 18-year-old male early Sunday morning who police said produced a handgun amid the assault of a male victim who was motionless on the ground.Police said officers were dispatched just after 1:30 a.m. to an assault in progress at the Ranch Dance Hall in the 4000 block of Everhart Road.'We understand that there has been another shooting of a black man by CCPD.'Police said call notes indicated the male assault victim was on the ground and not moving.Police said arriving officers saw an assault taking place on the side of a building on the corner of Everhart Road and Burney Drive — and that the suspect produced a handgun while over the victim on the ground.One of the officers of the two-man unit fired his gun and hit the 18-year-old male suspect who was taken to a hospital where he died, police said.The assault victim also was taken to a hospital for his injuries, police said.Police said the the officer involved wasn't injured and will be placed on administrative leave.Police added that those with information about the incident can call detectives at 361-886-2840 or make an anonymous call to CrimeStoppers at 361-888-TIPS (8477) or submit a tip online.The Nueces County Medical Examiner has identified the 18-year-old who was killed as Dwayne Earl Johnson, the Corpus Christi Caller Times reported.Leaders of the NAACP's H. Boyd Hall Chapter held a press conference Monday morning over the police-involved shooting, the Caller Times said, adding that the organization noted in a press release that “we understand that there has been another shooting of a black man by CCPD. We have been in touch with the chief and have requested a thorough and independent investigation to ensure the truth of what happened is ultimately discovered."How are observers reacting?Well over 200 comments have appeared underneath the Corpus Christi Police Department's Facebook post about the shooting, and they appear decidedly mixed; some support the officer's actions while others have questions. Here are a couple that reflect the breakdown:"Was the gun pointed at the cop?" one commenter wondered. "Did he try to get the kid to put the gun down first, or did he just shoot? So many questions.... I think police like to shoot first and ask questions later.""If someone points a gun at an officer it's called self defense; if someone points a gun at someone else it's called self defense in the third person," another commenter said. "Police serve and protect. Reading what they advise in this news segment the victim was on the ground defenseless, and the suspect pulled a gun out toward victim who could not defend himself, and officers protected the victim by using deadly force to match deadly force."Like Blaze News?

While many Democrats are celebrating a surge in support for Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, CNN's polling analyst Harry Enten warns them that former President Donald Trump is likely to gain support based on historical trends.Enten made the case for the race tightening up on CNN Tuesday. While Harris is ahead in three swing states — Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin — Enten pointed out that polling underestimated Trump's favorability in those states by 9% on average in 2016 and by 5% in 2020. "The bottom line is this: If you have an idea, if you're a Kamala Harris fan and you wanna rip open the champagne bottle, pop that cork, do not do it. Donald Trump is very much in this race. If we have a polling shift like we've seen in prior years from now until the final result, Donald Trump would actually win." Enten then pointed to polling that showed enthusiasm for Biden's re-election campaign had actually dropped slightly after Harris seized the nomination, while enthusiasm for Trump had actually increased in the same period. "The bottom line here is yes, there may be more enthusiasm for Kamala Harris, but the fact is we're not seeing that necessarily translate in the almost-certain-to-vote," he explained. Finally, Enten argued that Trump is more popular generally at this point in the 2024 campaign than he was at the same point in 2020 and at the same point in 2016. Enten posted video of the segment to his X account. Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

A St. Louis branch of Life Time Fitness has come under fire after it allegedly adopted a policy that allowed transgender women into the female locker rooms. The policy ended up empowering a 52-year-old transgender woman, who entered the women’s locker room and proceeded to waltz around in a bikini. “I look over and I see, you know what I believe to be a man walking in a bikini. He had the full genitalia, the male genitalia,” Cindy Zykan told Jason Whitlock in a recent interview on “Fearless.” Zykan had received social media threats from the man, who goes by Eris Montano, after she complained. Montano also attempted to visit Zykan’s home in order to intimidate her and her husband, which forced her to file a restraining order. “This man, who was married for twenty-three years, had a child with his wife of twenty-three years, his wife worked at Life Time Fitness, the man was a member of Life Time Fitness, previously under his male identity,” Jason Whitlock tells Jill Savage and Matthew Peterson of “Blaze News Tonight.” “He’s been recently divorced and has decided he’s a woman,” he adds. Zykan’s complaint resulted in about a week of the man, who is homeless, camping out at the gym in his car — where protests then ensued. “We’ve seen similar weird things happen at Planet Fitness and other places that are allowing these mentally disturbed people to do this,” Peterson comments, before asking Whitlock how Life Time Fitness responded. “I think the actual people that work at Life Time Fitness, most of them were sympathetic to their membership, who thought this was outrageous. This guy is showering and grooming with women and children in that locker room,” Whitlock says. While Life Time Fitness was simply pandering to the transgender agenda that’s been shoved down the country’s throat, it ended up kicking the man out of the club via police force after his threatening social media posts. While it took a little longer than it should, Whitlock believes that was the right course of action. Though he thinks as a society, we should take it one step further. “We need to start treating these people that have these gender identity issues like they have some mental concerns that need to be treated,” Whitlock concludes.

Since its launch in May of this year, XDefiant impressed in several ways. Not only is it a fun, well-designed arcade shooter, it seemed to have got off to a good start with its community, responding to feedback and keeping lines of communication open. Recently, however, the community sentiment has turned for the worse, with a souring of feeling among fans. With this coinciding with the game’s Twitch viewers plummeting, it looks like XDefiant is beginning to struggle.

With great talent retention and an impressive conveyor belt of games over recent years, Obsidian is widely regarded as a developer that has, for want of a better phrase, got its shit together. However, in a new interview, studio head Feargus Urquhart says that for a while after its acquisition by Microsoft, it was “a crappy developer” that was struggling to handle its multiple projects. He also says that Obsidian considered halting The Outer Worlds 2 to focus efforts on its fantasy RPG Avowed instead.
