US service members injured after wild storm hits McConnell AFB, forcing air show cancellation
Six U.S. service members and other civilian personnel were injured at McConnell Air Force Base on Sunday after a heavy storm forced the cancellation of a planned airshow that was expected to draw thousands.
McConnell Air Force Base, located in Wichita, Kansas, reported that 10 people suffered “minor injuries during a slow-moving wet microburst that brought heavy winds, lightning, and rain to the base.”
Six of those injured were military or medical personnel while four were civilian vendors, base spokesperson John Van Winkle said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
Each received “minor injuries,” he said.

Sunday’s portion of the McConnell Frontiers in Flight Airshow was called off earlier in the day over storm concerns. McConnell said a slow-moving wet microburst had lingered over the base in the morning. That microburst brought wind gusts of up to 54 mph to the McConnell flight line.

“Because of the damage to services, the base is unable to execute a safe airshow, and had to make the decision to cancel the airshow,” Van Winkle said. “Safety is always our first priority at McConnell, especially when it comes to hosting the community for an airshow.”
Kansas State Trooper Joe Owen said the airshow sustained “significant wind damage including at least one injury.”

Saturday’s portion of the air show brought more than 65,000 visitors.

Vigil held in Detroit for woman fatally shot by ICE agent in Minnesota
People gather at Detroit’s Clark Park on Friday, Jan. 9, 2026 to host a vigil for Renee Good, who was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis.
The name Renee Nicole Good bounced off the buildings of southwest Detroit as hundreds marched on the evening of Friday, Jan. 9, following Good’s fatal shooting by an immigration agent in Minneapolis earlier in the week.
A candlelight vigil was held at 6 p.m. at the city’s Clark Park in memory of Good, before attendees took off marching down Vernor Highway.
As of 7:30 p.m., the mass crowd had reached Cavalry Street, about half a mile away from the park, and turned, yelling “What do we want? Justice ” and calling for ICE’s ousting from communities.
Good, 37, was in her car when she was shot in the head on Wednesday, Jan.7, by a federal immigration officer in south Minneapolis. She leaves behind three children, ages 6, 12 and 15.
The shooting was recorded by witnesses and heightened political and community tensions over federal immigration enforcement as part of President Donald Trump’s nationwide immigration operations. The Trump administration has since said the shooting was done in self-defense, USA TODAY reports.
Protests have occurred in cities across the U.S. since Good’s death, including gatherings in Michigan, and additional demonstrations are scheduled throughout the weekend.
This is a developing story.
