A wicked man brutally murdered a hardworking grandmother last week over a cheap purchase before being killed himself.

As WKRC reported on Friday, 44-year-old Dollar General manager Alexis Hill was working on June 23 around 10 a.m. when a man approached the checkout counter to purchase a pair of hamburger buns.

The Muscogee County Coroner’s Office reports that the individual, identified as 33-year-old Jerome Willis, handed Hill two crumpled $1 bills, which would seem like a simple transaction. But the situation took a sinister turn as Hill straightened out the money.

An unhappy Willis decided at the moment to step aside, pull out a handgun, and shoot her.

Hill was pronounced dead at the scene around 10.45 am.

Following the murder, Willis fled the scene. Police located him about three hours after the initial incident, but he did not go quietly.

Willis ended up paying the ultimate price, but not before injuring a K-9 officer and a human police officer.

From the Daily Mail:

They gave him verbal demands, but when the suspect ‘did not comply’, officers released a K-9 officer to apprehend Willis.

As they did so, Willis again pulled out a gun and shot at the K-9 officer and others. In response, police fired several shots back, killing the gunman.

A Columbus Police Department (CPD) officer was treated at a hospital and later released. The police dog, named Havoc, was transported to a veterinary hospital before being airlifted to an emergency hospital, authorities said.

Havoc is now recovering from surgery after being sent home.

Hill leaves behind three children and two grandchildren.

Alexis Hill’s brother, Johnathan Hill, mourned her passing.

“She can’t be replaced,” he said. “It’s a loss that I’m going to have to deal with, and the family is going to have to deal with.”

WKRC reported that the Georgia Bureau of Investigation is reviewing the officer-involved shooting.

Crime is thriving, but Europe is stagnant.

Under the scourge of unchecked mass migration, Europe saw its violence levels skyrocket.

And besides the random individual delinquency, there’s also a surge in the prevalence of criminal gangs.

A new intelligence report found that Europe’s most dangerous gangs ‘have dramatically expanded their ranks,’ and that hundreds of thousands of members are now running ‘corporations of crime’ in plain sight.

Today, together with Acting Executive director of Europol Jürgen Ebner and the Chief of the Cyprus Police Themistos Arnaoutis, I will present the Europol report “Mapping the Most Dangerous Criminal Networks.”

The Telegraph reported:

“A 54-page dossier from Europol, the police agency, has laid bare the scale of drug trafficking, cybercrime and migrant-smuggling operations across the Continent.

An estimated 400,000 gangsters work for criminal syndicates, a five-fold increase in only two years.

The epidemic was summarized in a single sentence by the EU’s head of migration on Friday morning. ‘Criminals are thriving’, said Magnus Brunner as he unveiled the report ‘Decoding the EU’s most threatening criminal networks’ during a press conference in Brussels at the European Commission headquarters.”

GB News reported:

“The report titled “Decoding the EU’s most threatening criminal networks” was unveiled in Brussels at the European Commission headquarters.

There are 731 gangs across Europe that have been classified as the “most threatening criminal networks,” that stretch from Latin America to the Balkans. Police had dismantled 623 gangs between 2024 and 2026; however, 533 new ones have reemerged to take their place.

Mr. Brunner said: ‘Europol found that the criminal groups are very flexible, to put it that way. They shift, they merge, they reinvent themselves constantly making them harder to track on the one hand but also to dismantle on the other. Criminals have learnt to hide in plain sight. In the report two years ago 86 per cent of criminal groups used legal business structures and today it is 85 per cent so nothing has changed. These are not street gangs; these are corporations of crime’.”

The US and Iran have reportedly agreed to halt attacks and hold talks in Qatar’s capital of Doha this week after exchanging fire through the weekend and threatening the fragile 60-day memorandum of understanding.

A senior US official told Axios on Sunday, “We decided to stop all the kinetic activity.” Talks are scheduled for Tuesday to address disagreements over the Strait of Hormuz. Iran struck vessels in the Strait on Friday and Saturday after disagreement over Iran charging “transit fees” to transit the waters.

Initially, Tuesday’s talks were scheduled to be held in Switzerland to discuss Iran’s nuclear program.

Vice President JD Vance participated in the first round of talks in Switzerland last week, where he announced that “good progress” was made with the Iranians and that Iran agreed to allow nuclear inspectors into the country to ensure they are not rebuilding the nuclear program. However, Iran later denied agreeing to this term.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, US Central Command announced on Saturday that additional strikes were launched against “multiple targets in Iran” following a Saturday attack on a commercial vessel. This followed strikes on Friday after Iran hit another ship in the Strait of Hormuz.

“U.S. Navy and Air Force fighter jets conducted strikes tonight on 10 Iranian military targets at multiple locations in and near the Strait of Hormuz for Iran’s drone attack on M/T Kiku,“ CENTCOM said in a Saturday statement, publishing footage of several strikes.

WATCH:

Iran responded by firing missiles and drones at Bahrain and Kuwait overnight.

President Trump on Saturday warned, “There may come a point when we are no longer able to be reasonable, and will be forced to militarily complete the job that we very successfully started.

He continued, “If that happens, the Islamic Republic of Iran will no longer exist!

Speaker Mike Johnson was on “Sunday Morning Futures” with host Maria Bartiromo to talk about the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States of America.

Speaker Johnson also talked about President Trump’s America First agenda, which included making housing more affordable and passing the SAVE America Act to secure federal elections.

“Coming to you live from the US Capitol, celebrating America’s upcoming 250th birthday on July 4th,” Bartiromo said.

“Congress itself was established on March 4th, 1789, with the ratification of the US Constitution,” Bartiromo said.

“Today, almost 250 years later to the date, the United States is the beacon of the free world, the superpower economically and militarily, defending freedom across the globe,” Bartiromo continued.

“Mr. Speaker, great to have you this morning, welcome,” Bartiromo said.

“This truly is a very happy birthday celebration, as you noted at the outset. This is going to be an exciting week across our country, celebrating the greatest nation in the history of the world. It’s not even close,” Johnson said.

“As you noted, the most free, and most successful, most powerful, most benevolent nation that has ever been, and it is our responsibility to steward that grand experiment in self-governance,” Johnson said.

“Let’s talk about where we’ve come from, and what the Founders envisioned In God We Trust, freedom, and liberty. How do you assess the last 250 years? Tell us where we are coming from first,” Bartiromo asked.

“The experiment in self-governance has been a tremendous success, and the reason is because we are built upon these very firm foundations. This didn’t happen by happenstance. It’s because the Founders studied and prayed and put together a matchless Constitution, a system of government that followed frankly, the admonitions of scripture,” Johnson continued.

“I want to talk a little about where we are going. You are managing lots of different personalities in the Congress. You have a small margin to actually get the President’s agenda passed. You had a rare bipartisan win with the housing bill but of course now we are seeing that held up because of the President’s threats to not sign it because he wants the SAVE America bill attached. What are you going to do about it?” Bartiromo asked.

“Well, I met with the President for a few hours on Thursday in the Oval Office and we talked about it in great detail. The housing bill really is a Republican priority because it will lower housing costs,” Johnson said.

“The President and I talked about that at length. Of course, he wants to do all those things,” Johnson said.

Speaker Johnson also discussed the SAVE America Act and explained that the intention is to put it on a reconciliation bill to help it pass easier.

“We passed it three times in the House already. We’re going to pass it again, and this time we are gonna try to put it on a reconciliation bill, and the reason that is so important Maria as you know, is that it prevents the necessity of 60 votes in the Senate. The Democrats want no part of this,” Johnson continued.

Why is Markwayne Mullin encouraging Haitian and Syrian migrants – who were supposed to be in the US “temporarily” – to apply for a permanent visa after the Supreme Court ruled that the Trump Administration is allowed to end their protected status?

DHS Chief Markwayne Mullin on Sunday appeared on CNN’s “State of the Union” to discuss the Supreme Court’s decision to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for hundreds of thousands of Haitians and Syrians.

The Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision, ruled that the Temporary Protected Status is… temporary!

The three liberal justices Sotomayor, Kagan and Jackson dissented.

The Department of Homeland Security previously said the ‘Temporary Protected Status’ for the Haitian and Syrian migrants will expire July 1.

However, Markwayne Mullin told CNN’s Jake Tapper that the Haitians and Syrians can apply for permanent residence in the US.

“Will you be deporting all of them? Will they all be deported back to their home countries – Haiti and Syrian – and when will these deportations start? Will they be immediately?” Jake Tapper asked Mullin.

“These individuals have a couple of choices: they can try to apply for a for a permanent residence here, they can apply for a temporary visa if they choose to, or they can choose to go back,” Mullin said.

Choose to go back?

Jake Tapper asked Mullin if applying for citizenship or a visa will stop the deportation process.

“Haitians with pending criminal charges, prior felony charges, or are on welfare are generally not eligible for permanent residence, but each case will be looked at individually,” Mullin said.

“If they want to go back, we’ll help them with that. I’m talking directly to the individuals that are with the temporary protected status: either try to fill out the paperwork and be here underneath a permanent status, or we’ll help you get back to your country,” Mullin said.

President Trump announced on Sunday that he will meet with the Democratic Nominee for DC Mayor and likely winner of the upcoming election, Janeese Lewis George, but put her and her Communist supporters on notice. 

“I will meet with Janeese Lewis George, but must forewarn everyone that Washington, D.C., is again a Safe and Prestigious Community,” the President said.

He further said he will not let his progress in making DC Safe and Beautiful be “destroyed by a Communist adherent who has no intention to, MAKE WASHINGTON GREAT AGAIN!”

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Janeese Lewis George won her Primary Election earlier this month to replace current Mayor Muriel Bowser, who is retiring at the end of her third term in office.

Lewis George will face D.C. Statehood Green Party candidate Robert Gross in November, where she will “almost certainly” win, Trump said.

“Janeese Lewis George, the Communist who is almost certainly going to be elected Mayor of Washington, D.C., has stated that she wants to empty the prisons, make D.C. a Sanctuary City, oppose ICE, welcome Criminal Illegal Aliens back into our beloved Capital, resist Anti-Crime Crackdowns, Defund the Police, continue and expand Cashless Bail, and so many other Capital destroying ‘things,’” Trump wrote in a Truth Social Post on Sunday.

“In the end, it will never work out, nor will I let it even have a chance because I have worked too hard to make Washington, D.C., the Envy of the World, with almost No Crime, and a Beautification process that has been second to none. I will meet with Janeese Lewis George, but must forewarn everyone that Washington, D.C., is again a Safe and Prestigious Community.”

He continued, “Many people, including myself, have worked long and hard to get it there, and we will not let it be destroyed by a Communist adherent who has no intention to, MAKE WASHINGTON GREAT AGAIN!”

President Trump threatened earlier this month to invoke the DC Home Rule Act again if Lewis George won the race.

Asked how he would feel if the Democratic Socialist won her race, Trump said, “I wouldn’t like it.” He continued, “Maybe we’ll take back Washington, run it on a federal basis. We won’t put up with it. We’re not going to lose our businesses.”

Trump previously signed an executive order declaring a “crime emergency” and invoking powers under section 740 of the Home Rule Act to federalize the police last Summer. He also deployed hundreds of federal agents and National Guard troops across the capital.

WATCH:

Meanwhile, Lewis George has vowed to end the DC police’s cooperation with federal immigration authorities and to “defend DC” and “protect” DC’s Home Rule against Trump. She will also work to pass legislation giving DC statehood.
