Word that a couple was on the run with their somnolence and gunmen jumped out, and then the shooting started. Cloudy, with the rest of the story. Claudia. Many of the details surrounding the brutal double murder are murky. No one has spoken publicly and just about all we have to go on a reports from Media Outlets in mexico. A gofundme page set up by relatives in utah which is where this family was from. Rose Nielsen Naylor says 48yearold paul nielsen was her brother, and so far her gofundme page has raised more than 47,000, money that will go directly to jakob nielsen, who was pauls son. Another Family Member took the facebook to say they have made arrangements to bring pauls boy back home. The post asking people not to speak to the media. Some donors have commented on why there is no mention of pauls wife, 43yearold janeth vazquez, who was also allegedly killed. Nor is there any mention of the couples 12yearold son who apparently survived the shooting and is now an orphan. This alleged attack happened a week ago today in the Early Morning hours as the family was traveling in mexico. Local reports say they were headed for acapulco to the beach resort town when they came to a checkpoint or roadblock and again, all of this according to local reports, group of armed men ordered everyone out of the car and then gunned the parents down executionstyle right in front of their son. We have reached out to a family spokesperson as well as to the u. S. Embassy in mexico, and as soon as we have any new information, we will pass that along. Shepard claudia cowan, is the state department weighing in . In just a brief Statement Issued over the weekend, the state Department Said we are aware of reports of the death of an american citizen in the mexican state of guerrero. We offer our sincerest condolences. Out of respect for the family during this difficult time, we have no further comment. Guerrero is widely known as one of mexicos most dangerous areas, and the u. S. State department advises americans not to travel there. Shepard claudia, thanks. Claudia cowan. Something happened to Jeffrey Epstein in jail. We dont yet know whos behind it. The convicted sex offender found, as guards describe it, almost unconscious in his jail cell with injuries on his neck. Law enforcement sources telling that to the new york post. The post. Company and fox news paren Company Share common ownership. Sources tell the paper investigators are trying to figure out whether it was a suicide attempt, a ploy to get transferred to another jail, or an attack. Prosecutors say the multimillionaire abused dozens of girls as young as 14 years old at his homes in manhattan and florida. He cut a deal on similar charges in 2008, spent about a year in jail for that one but was on work release for half a day six days a week. Epstein has pleaded not guilty to these new charges and is behind bars without fail and now a big beat now. Rick leventhal with the story. Hes outside the Metropolitan Correctional Center in lower manhattan. The federal bureau of prisons still wont confirm what may have happened here at the mcc. The u. S. Marshals service will only tell us there was an incident. They say they are still waiting for all the facts to be gathered before making any assumptions or comments. What we know is based solely on unnamed sources speaking to multiple news outlets with varying details. That he was found semiconscious in his cell with marks on his neck, possibly blue in the face, sprawled on the floor, or in a fetal position, suggesting he may have tried to hang himself but he could have been attacked by another inmate. Or this was simply as you said a ploy to try to get transferred because he is apparently not happy with the conditions here at mcc. Epstein, worth more than half a billion dollars, could spend the rest of his life in prison if convicted on the federal charges of exploiting dozens of underage girls at his mansions in new york city and palm beach, florida,. Attorney lisa bloom who represent some of the alleged victims tweeted the epstein accusers i represent and i dont wish suicide upon anyone, not even a recidivist predator who has tricked and hurt so many women. We want him to stay alive his face the justice and accountability which is so long overdue, and its coming. Shep, as far as we know epstein is back in his cell here in federal lockup. Shepard do we know whats next for him . There is a status hearing on july 31. We dont have a trial date set yet. Maybe well learn then. We know his attorneys appealed the nobel decision earlier this week and we are still waiting for judge to rule on it. Shepard rick leventhal, thank you. Justice department announcing the United States will execute federal death row inmates for the First Time Since 2003. Five convicted murderers now set to be executed starting this december. Back in 2014, president obama requested a review of Capital Punishment and lethal injection drugs after a botched execution in oklahoma. The attorney general william barr says we owe it to the victims and their families to Carry Forward this sentence opposed by our justice system. Drg reports it will use one drug instead of a controversial three drug combination. Which some argued could cause unnecessary suffering.

Shepard some of the final images now now open ole miss student while she was still alive. Police say this is Surveillance Video of 21yearold ally kostial leaving a bar called funkys. Hours later, police found her body on the north side of sardis lake, shot eight times, about a 30 minute drive from campus. We are also learning more about her classmate now charged with her murder. This is he. Police sources tell fox 13 years in memphis that cops tracked Brandon Theesfeld to a gas station there. They say was wearing enormous baseball tshirt and it looked like there was blood on his clothing. We will speak to a student who was his neighbor in the campus dorm. First Jonathan Serrie reporting. Hes live on towne square in oxford. Jonathan. , this town square is where the Surveillance Video of ally kostial was taken. Its also the home to the Lafayette County courthouse. Thats where the defendant, 22yearold Brandon Theesfeld of fort worth, texas, will appear for a bond hearing. Once his defense team files a motion for bond. The Daily Journal of tupelo reports theesfelds father hired lawyers and they plan to enter a not guilty plea. In the meantime, theesfeld is being held in the Lafayette County detention center. As you can imagine how you would feel if you were in jail in a state thats not your home state, overwhelmed with the magnitude of whats going on. Both the defendant and victim were students of the school of Business Administration at ole miss. The defendants father, daniel theesfeld, released a statement insisting that his son is innocent, could not release any further details but urging the public in the meantime to presume him innocent until proven otherwise. Again, theesfelds father is hiring this prominent defense team to represent his son in the ongoing proceedings. Shepard some of the biggest names in law in that region. They offered. Yes, very prominent defense team. The father apparently a doctor in texas. Has the money to hire these lawyers and is determined to prove that his son is innocent, not guilty of these crimes. Shepard what are you hearing from the victims family . Yeah, allies father posted on facebook funeral arrangements. Theres going to be visitation friday. Funeral Services Taking place saturday morning. Both taking place in suburban st. Louis where the family lives. Meanwhile, back here in oxford, students describe ally as a friendly person who enjoyed helping others. She was a member of the Alpha Phi Sorority which is tied black ribbons are on the front columns of the Sorority House in allys memory. Shepard Jonathan Serrie live in oxford. Thank you. To rex or vita, the suspects neighbor during their freshman year in the same dorm. New the victim through friends and is a journalism student at ole miss. What can you tell us about this guy . I personally did not have a really Good Relationship with him. My time in the dorm with him, i really found them to be extremely rude and just overall, a good word is privileged. Shepard i read on your twitter feed that when you heard it was a journalism student, youve been covering it and then when he found out who it was, you wrote on twitter you werent surprised. Whys that . I was shocked but not surprised, only because i knew the type of person that he was and he had no respect for women. I mean, somebody had done Something Like this, they have to have no respect for women. Shepard they had gone to a formal together and kind of dated off and on at some point. Is that right . Yeah, thats what ive gathered, that they were not an exclusive relationship but they were on off. Shepard this sort of thing at a small town like that during summer school, im guessing it has the place really rattled. Absolutely. I know you went ole miss and during the summer, there is just a certain vibe here and is very quiet. I mean, theres hardly anybody here. To hear something happening like this, it shook the entire community. Now we are all just beside ourselves just really trying to figure out the truth. Shepard you did a lot of digging into his social media and his family and the rest. I dont know if they are revealing but some notable things on there, do you want to tell us about any of that . I think everyone should do their own independent digging into the story because theres a lot to find as far as his father especially. He had multiple social media accounts. They were pretty radical. They will show you why brandon was the way he was. His own father was that way. Shepard so if this was such a bad kid and people kind of knew it around town, if one person in oxford knows it, usually everybody does. Were there no warning signs on this guy . I think an important thing to realize is people can disguise themselves. Thats why i didnt associate myself with him because i knew what type of person he is. Others might not have. People can really just camouflage. Shepard yeah, i hear you. Rex, student at ole miss, journalism student. Shared space in the same dorm. They were the same dorm for a while. All the best. Thank you.

This happened during Early Morning blast at Camp Pendleton in southern california. Our National Security correspondent, jenna Jennifer Griffin, live at the pentagon. Speak of the marine corps announced 16 marines were arrested during a battalion forn charges ranging from human smuggling to drug related offenses. Eight marines from the First Marine Division were taken in for questioning on their involvement in alleged drug offenses unrelated to todays arrest. Information gained from a previous human smuggling investigation precipitated the arrest. None of the marines arrested or detained for questioning served in support of the southwest border support mission, we are told. Shepard a navy seal platoon is getting sent home in a separate instance. Drinking while on deployment, is that right . Because thats right. U. S. Officials tell me the platoon of roughly 20 navy seals from seal team 7 were sent home to san diego for Drinking Alcohol while deployed in iraq and embarrassing and to a deployment to the special operations unit. General order number one privates alcohol use on deployment. A spokesman for u. S. Special Operations Command issued the following kurt statement. The commander of the special Operations Joint Task force order the early redeployment of a seal team platoon to san diego due to a perceived deterioration of good order and discipline within the team during nonoperational periods. The commander lost confidence the teams ability to accomplish the mission. Its the latest incident. Tomorrow, the seals following the highly Controversial Court pressure placed earlier this month involving eddie gallagher, acquitted of premeditated and attempted murder of an isis teenager two years ago. He was found guilty of charges of posing for an unofficial photo with the corpse of a dead isis fighter. He also was from seal team 7. Just last week the navy times reported six members of seal team 10 based outside norfolk, virginia, used cocaine and cheated on their drug tests to avoid getting caught, according to a navy investigation. They too have been disciplined. In may, two navy seals and two marines were charged in the murder of a decorated green beret while on assignment in west africa. Staff sergeant strangle to death during a brutal hazing incident. A member of seal team 6 cut a plea deal and the other is awaiting sentencing. Shepard i cant remember ever hearing of a whole seal team getting sent home. I dont think its happened, certainly not in quite some tim time. I cant think of an instance in the last 12 years that ive heard of such a thing. Shepard Jennifer Griffin at the pentagon, thank you. North korea has testfired a new type of missile we are told and apparently all of south korea is within its range. All of this from u. S. Official who reviewed the latest intelligence assessment. We started getting word of this last evening, before sundown on the east coast. Officials say north korea fired off two test missiles and officials are most concerned about the second one. That one flew far enough to hit anywhere in south korea. Both missiles splashed down etsy to the east. These are the countries first missile test since the month of may. Rich edson is there, hes live in washington. Also the first since President Trump met with the dictator kim jong un last month. All happening while the Trump Administration of trying to restart negotiations on north koreans north koreans weapons program. The state Department Says its urging north korea to avoid any escalation in the region. We continue to urge the north koreans to resolve all the things the president and chairman kim have talked about through diplomacy. We urge no more provocations and that all parties should abide by our obligations under u. N. Security resolutions. National security visor john bolton was also in the region meeting in south korea. North korea has criticized him and secretary of state mike pompeo, demanded the United States change its negotiation position, and offer north korea sanctions relief. The u. S. Has said sanctions will remain until north korea dismantles its weapons programs. Last month, President Trump unexpectedly invited tim to meet him in the Demilitarized Zone between north and south korea. The two leaders agreed to resume discussions between officials. There has been difficulty getting the talks moving. In february, President Trump and kim jong un failed to reach a broader agreement at their summit in hanoi. North korea has recently criticized planned u. S. South Korean Military drills, claiming they pose a threat to the north. Last summer, President Trump and kim agreed that the u. S. Would suspend some of its military drills with south korea in exchange, north korea promised to halt testing its Nuclear Weapons and Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles. North korea stuck to that pledge, firing only shorter range missile since last year. Late 2017, the northwest testing achievement trigger Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles that analyst they were capable of reaching the mainland u. S. And firing them over japan. Shepard rich edson live in washington. The governor of puerto rico says he is resigning effective next friday. Word came overnight in a video announcement. Puerto ricans waited for hours on end after reports the announcement would come yesterday afternoon, and we finally heard the news, that Ricardo Rossello with his way out, they celebrated in the streets. This latenight party after nearly two straight weeks of enormous protests, calling for the governor to get out. Hundreds of pages of leaked documents showed governor rossello, staffers making homophobic and misogynistic comments, even down talking victims of the hurricane that ravaged the island. He continued to say he would not step down throughout all the protests. The governor said he was listening to the people but would continue to govern. It seems he finally realized the power to govern comes from the people. Hundreds of thousands of them wanted him gone. Translator i have listened to you and spoke to my family and thought about my children. I made the following decision. With sorrow, i am announcing today that i will be renouncing resigning the post of governor. Shepard but not yet. Jeff paul reporting, hes live in san juan. When does he go and how sure are we . The letter of resignation finally received by lawmakers here. They seem somewhat satisfied. Doesnt sound like theyre going to move forward the impeachment process. Meanwhile back here where many of these protesters used together out here chanting and yelling, now that has shifted into celebration. But the announcement getting very dramatic last night. Governor ricardo rocheleau promising that there would be an announcement yesterday. That video didnt come out hours and hours after the promise and you could feel the tension. Everyone got kind of quiet and listened to any phone that was streaming the announcement they had been waiting for. [cheering] the protest movements historic partly because its the first time in the modern era where governor has resigned. Its also very historic given that most of the protest movement was pushed along by young people. Right now im happy. Im proud. We are living proof that we survived a very horrible hurricane and a very horrible person to govern and represent us puerto ricans. Theres a lot of stuff to do. We got the first guy out but theres a lot of corrupt people we want to get out of here. Are you happy . Whats your feeling . We are excited. Most of all im relieved. The governor he reportedly beginning was beginning to put in process the impeachment process but today after receiving the official letter of resignation, doesnt sound like theyre going to move forward. The last day for the governor, august 2, next friday. Shepard what happens next . The line of succession here in puerto rico goes the governor, secretary of state. The reason why its not going to the secretary of state is because that official resigned days and days ago amid the chat scandal. The next person in line is the secretary of justice, wanda vasquez. The protests we fencing, the marches and celebrations, youre already hearing people shouting. A lot of the people here feel she is an extension of everything that was wrong with Ricardo Rossello. This is a big if but if Ricardo Rossello and in the few days he has left of governor appoints someone as secretary of state, then that person would become governor. But we are not hearing any rumors of that happening. Shepard that would row them up. Jeff paul on scene in san juan. Thank you. One day after the former special Counsel Robert Mueller warned that russia is at this moment working to interfere in our elections, the Top Republican in congress blocks two Election Security measures. Senate Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell saying the bills are designed to help democrats. The minority leader Chuck Schumer says the senate should work on another bill. Chief Congressional Correspondent mike emanuel reporting on this. Cindy hydesmith of mississippi blocked it and there hasnt been a single standalone legislation on Election Security since we found out what the russians did. Whats going on there . Clearly they have work to do. Democratic leader Chuck Schumer tried to bring about how spell it would require paper ballots and provide money for the election assistance commission. Here was part of his pitch. If we invite the russians to interfere by not doing enough and they do and americans lose faith in the fundamental wellspring of america, our grand democracy, this is the beginning of the end. Of democracy in this country. Robert mueller sounded the alarm about the risk of russian interference in next years election and beyond. He warned expect they will do it again during the 2020 campaign. Some lawmakers call muellers testimony a clear call for more Election Security, a wakeup call that every american. Set a majorleague Mitch Mcconnell called it partisan legislation, a bill that only received one republican vote in the house. Its just a highly partisan bill from the same folks who spent two years hyping up a Conspiracy Theory about President Trump and russia and who continue to ignore this administrations progress at correcting the obama administrations failures on this subject in the 2018 election. Therefore i object. The other bills offered by connecticut democrat senator Richard Blumenthal that would require candidates, Family Members and Campaign Staffers to notify the fbi if they receive an offer of foreign assistance to their campaign. That was blocked too, in the United States Senate Politics is one senator to slam on the brakes. Shepard mike emanuel on capitol hill. There are a lot of ways to get across the English Channel. You can try a boat, you can try a plane. You can take the chunnel underwater. We do not recommend traveling by hoverboard. A daredevil tried crossing between britain and france today.

Shepard flying frenchmen trying to cross the English Channel on a jet powered hoverboard. You know where this is going, right .

Hes live in london. Hi, shep. So close to success. This was supposed to be a great example of french innovation, french ingenuity, french compliment.

It would mark the 110th anniversary of the first ever powered flight across the channel and it would set its own record. Earlier today, he lifted off with 42 meters of kerosene strapped to his back. The problem is the fly board has a flying time of 10 minutes. He had to refuel midway, hovering above a boat precariously while more kerosene was pumped in. French authorities refused him permission to do it in french waters claiming the watery was too busy. This was days before. Coming to his safety was the english government is that he could do it in english waters. When he reached the boat, his deal was running out and they didnt have much time left. The wave knocked the board over sending him tumbling into the sea. He had to be rescued before he sank. Nevertheless despite this, he says he it was amazing. It was like flying the dream. It was amazing. At the beginning, i didnt see england. It was like being alone above the sea. You might remember the fly board shot to fame a few weeks ago when zapata fluid in front of president macron. He flew for a few minutes. It loud france. It led the french government give him a defense grant to try to bring it into the french army. Any people said it was going to make a pretty easy target to shoot down.
