During a visit to the Minnesota State Fair on Sunday, Democrat vice presidential nominee Tim Walz appeared to miss a question about six hostages found dead in Gaza.
The clip, making the rounds online, shows the Minnesota governor greeting supporters and answering a few questions.
Someone off camera can be heard asking Walz, “What’s your reaction to the six hostages being found dead in Gaza?”
Without answering, Walz tells the group of people, “All right, thanks everybody,” and walks away.

The angle made it seem like Walz was deliberately avoiding answering, but it’s not clear from the footage whether he had heard the question.
The clip was still enough to set X users alight, with some accusing him of being a “coward” for failing to answer.
Fox News Digital reached out to the Harris-Walz campaign to inquire whether the governor had heard the question and, if not, what his response would have been.
Later Sunday, Walz issued a statement condemning Hamas as a “brutal terrorist organization.”
“The anguish of losing a child is something no family should have to endure. Gwen and I send our deepest condolences to the Goldberg-Polin family, after Hamas’ murder of their son Hersh,” reads a post on Walz’s X account. “Hamas is a brutal terrorist organization – and we condemn their continued atrocities against both Americans and Israelis in the strongest possible terms.”

Walz’s appearance at the Minnesota State Fair came after Israel Defense Forces found six Israeli hostages dead during a rescue operation in the tunnels below Gaza’s Rafah.
Among the bodies recovered was Israeli-American Hersh Goldberg-Polin, who had been held by Hamas terrorists since Oct. 7, when war broke out between Israel and Hamas.

A mother is dead and another person wounded after a double shooting Wednesday on Detroit’s east side, police said.
Officers responded at about 8:10 p.m. to the area of Greiner and Runyon streets near Seven Mile Road and Hoover Street after an alert from the police department’s ShotSpotter gunshot detection technology, DPD said.
Police arrived at the scene, found two victims and started rendering aid until medics took them to a hospital, according to authorities.
Officials said a woman was pronounced dead and the other victim is in critical condition.
An argument arose between two parties who knew each other, according to a preliminary investigation. The fight escalated until one of the parties, a male, produced a gun, officials reported.
Detectives said the female victim tried to intervene before the suspect opened fire and fatally shot her.
Authorities also said they do not have the suspect in custody and are not releasing any information at this time.
Last week, Detroit police officials said citywide summer crime statistics were down for the second straight year. There were 63 homicides in Detroit from May 31-Aug. 29, down 19% from 78 killings during the same period in 2023, according to the Detroit Police Department.

MILWAUKEE — A community staple in Milwaukee County is seeing the need for help, as more people are experiencing food insecurity than ever.
General Willis calls the Silver Spring neighborhood home.
“I’ve been coming here for probably over eight years, but I haven’t been in the last two years. This is my first day back,” Willis said.

We met him at the Emergency Food Pantry in the heart of the community center.
Willis said the reason he came in was tough.
“Short on food — it’s the end of the month and I’ve got to survive until the next month,” Willis said.
Tanya Endisch has worked in the pantry for nearly ten years and said she knows General’s situation all too well — she was once there herself.
“I don’t mind helping the community because they helped me when I was in need,” Endisch said.
Endisch said it means the world to her to work in the same center that gave her so much.

“This is family here, we’re a family. This is like my home away from home and I love it here,” Endisch said.
Since switching over to choice back in March, those with the food pantry said they have been able to help hundreds of their neighbors get fresh fruits and vegetables every week.

“A lot of people ask for fresh fruits, ask for fresh vegetables,” Endisch said. “We do the best we can and we get it for them.”
With Hunger Task Force sending more than 5,000 pounds of fresh produce from their Franklin farm so far this year, Endisch said she hopes to continue serving as many families as she can.
“Don’t be scared to ask for help. Come on down. We’ll help you,” said Endisch.
