Texas assistant principal released from hospital after seriously injured by student in classroom 'disruption'

An assistant principal at a school in Texas was released from the hospital on Friday following a “classroom disruption” that left her seriously injured. 

Candra Rogers, the assistant principal at The Collins Intermediate School in Corsicana, TX, was airlifted on Thursday, Aug. 15, to a local hospital following what school district officials called a disruption in a classroom.

School officials said the incident happened in a classroom with less than ten students present. 

The student was detained, and the Student Code of Conduct will be applied and charges are pending, officials said.

Due to privacy laws, neither the student’s name nor specific details about the student in question will be released.

“Our prayers are with Mrs. Rogers and her family, but also the family of the student, those in the classroom at the time, and the entire Collins campus, our school district, and our community,” Superintendent Stephanie Howell said. “This has been an extremely upsetting and difficult situation as you might imagine, but we take the safety not only of our students, but also of our staff very seriously. Both remain a priority for Corsicana ISD.”

Shoppers look on as Sunglass Hut is robbed at Northridge mall

Several bystanders watched in surprise as a man stuffed merchandise, including expensive sunglasses, into a bag and fled the Northridge Fashion Center.

Cellphone video of the incident shows the robber walking around a Sunglass Hut store while deciding which items to put in what appeared to be a trash bag.

A security guard arrived at the shop and briefly confronted the suspect but was not able to detain him.

The suspect is then seen running from the store with his bag of goods still in hand.

At one point, the suspect even stops and points at the security guard giving chase but still has time to turn and run out of the mall.

Sen. Mark Kelly responds to question on serving in potential Harris Cabinet

Sen. Mark Kelly responds to question on serving in potential Harris Cabinet

EXCLUSIVE: Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., responded to a question about his level of interest in a Cabinet-level role in a potential Kamala Harris administration. 

After speaking at the Veterans and Military Families Council meeting during the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday, Kelly joined Fox News Digital for an interview about the presidential race. 

The Arizona senator was asked by Fox News Digital if he would be interested in serving in Vice President Kamala Harris’ cabinet if she won the presidential election in November, specifically in secretary positions in the Departments of Defense (DOD) or Homeland Security (DHS).

“I’m focused on doing everything I possibly can over the next 77 days to make sure that Tim Walz and Kamala Harris are successful on November 5th. That’s my goal,” he said, not indicating whether he’d want to join their administration. 

Kelly’s answer was similar to his responses earlier this month when he was being considered and vetted as a potential running mate for Harris. He repeatedly told reporters that it wasn’t about him, and he was focused on making sure Democrats win in November.

The Democratic senator’s background as a 25-year Navy combat veteran puts him at a unique vantage point and makes him a very likely contender for a potential stint as the secretary of defense if he were interested. Similarly, Kelly’s role as senator of a border state, who has made clear his concerns regarding illegal immigration, could leverage his standing on a list of possible DHS secretaries. 

One sticking point for the Arizona Democrat in the 2024 election is respect for veterans and their families. “Do you expect somebody, Donald Trump to really care about military families when he doesn’t even care about the service members that have put their lives on the line and regard them as suckers and losers?” he asked on Tuesday. “Of course you wouldn’t.”

However, former President Trump has denied the anonymously sourced report that said he called deceased soldiers “suckers” and “losers.” 

He has denied doing so, writing on Truth Social, “Only a sicko with an axe to grind would suggest that anyone would make such a statement.”

But his denial hasn’t stopped opponents, Kelly and President Biden included, from holding it against him. 

“You need somebody who cares about our veterans and cares about our service members,” Kelly told Fox News Digital.

According to the senator, “a President Harris will make sure that we continue to modernize our military, to make sure our service members can win in conflicts, whether it’s in the Western Pacific, in Europe, in the Middle East, anywhere.”

He further described the “tremendous amount of energy” at the DNC, where Harris is being celebrated as the new Democratic nominee for president after Biden suspended his campaign. But Kelly said the enthusiasm isn’t confined to Chicago. 

“Arizona is often thought of as sort of a red state,” he explained. But, “I’ve never seen any energy like this before, in that arena,” the Democrat said in reference to Harris’ recent rally in the state.

“It’s hard to imagine what it’s going to be like in October. It’s going to be off the charts,” he predicted.
