Just under a month after the Windsor Tunnel Bus stopped service, plans for a new bus through the Detroit Windsor Tunnel have been announced.

It's being called the Linq Tunnel Bus.

The bus will follow the same routes as the previous tunnel bus, with drop-off locations at Jefferson, Washington, Cass, and Michigan Avenue, after picking up passengers at the Tunnel Plaza. Fares will be $15 per person per ride and will be cashless, with all major credit cards accepted.

All you will need to ride is the necessary documentation to cross the border.

The bus will run Monday through Thursday from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m., and Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. The hours will remain the same every day, regardless of holidays or other events.

Operators are targeting October 1 for the beginning of service, but say that date could change.

New research shows a common over-the-counter drug may have significant benefits for people with colon and rectal cancer. 

A clinical trial suggests daily aspirin could cut the risk of cancer coming back by more than half.

This is really exciting. I see this type of cancer often in my practice, and this study offers real hope for these patients.

 

Now, researchers followed more than 600 people from 33 hospitals in Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland. They all had colon or rectal cancer with a PIK3 gene mutation. These genes usually help keep cell growth and division in check. But if they become dysregulated, cells can grow unchecked, leading to cancer.

 

So, before treatment started in this study, the patients had surgery to remove their cancer. Then they were randomly assigned to take either a placebo or a 160-milligram aspirin pill every day for three years.

 

And heres what the researchers found: those who took aspirin had a 55% lower risk of their cancer coming back compared to those who didnt. Thats a big deal because 30% to 40% of colon cancer patients face a recurrence. And once it spreads, the disease is much harder to treat.

 

So, its encouraging that something like aspirin, which is widely available and inexpensive, could offer real protection for a select group of patients.

 

The researchers arent exactly sure why aspirin cuts the risk, but they believe it works through several pathways. It lowers inflammation in the body, thins the blood and slows tumor cell growth. Together, these effects make it harder for cancer cells to survive and spread.

 

Now, we do have to talk about side effects. Aspirin has been around for over a century, but it isnt risk-free. In this trial, serious side effects were seen in 16.8% of people taking aspirin, compared to 11.6% of those taking the placebo. Of those potentially linked to aspirin, four patients experienced serious issues like stomach or intestinal bleeding, allergic reactions and bleeding in the brain.

 

So, while the benefits are promising, please do not start aspirin therapy on your own. In my opinion, larger studies are still needed before aspirin becomes a standard treatment. And, if you have colon or rectal cancer, talk with your doctor about genetic testing before considering aspirin.

Marshall University President Brad Smith and his wife, Alys Smith, have made a $50 million gift to the university to promote a program aimed at eliminating student debt, the school said Tuesday.

The gift is the largest ever given to the public research university and the largest given by any sitting university president to their own institution, the school said.

The money will go toward Marshall For All, a program that allows students to combine scholarships, grants, family contributions and work opportunities to obtain a bachelors degree without having to apply for student loans.

Nico Karagosian, president and CEO of the Marshall University Foundation, called the gift transformative.

Marshall, which has nearly 10,000 undergraduate and 3,000 graduate students, plans to expand the program with the goal of enabling all students to graduate debt-free by the universitys 2037 bicentennial.

We are honored to support Marshall University and the Marshall For All program with this gift, Brad and Alys Smith said in a statement released by the university. Our why is simple: to level the playing field in West Virginia and Appalachia."

The program currently has two tracks. One covers full tuition and fees for West Virginia students with a family income below $65,000. The other offers a debt-free bachelors degree along with real-world experience for randomly selected students either from the state or eligible out-of-state counties within a certain distance of the Huntington campus.

My father and mother have always been and remain my moral compass," Smith said. They committed to providing an opportunity for their children to attend college and sacrificed to ensure my brothers and I could do so. It was a promise made and kept. Alys and I are blessed to transform that promise into the privilege to pay it forward."

A Mount Clemens business owner is facing a double dose of challenges as the city's grant-funded $6.4 million downtown beautification project enters its final months.

Watch Jeffery's video report below Mount Clemens business owner weathers flood, construction chaos during downtown beautification

Diane Kubic, who has owned Max & Ollie's for 20 years, found herself dealing with both construction-related business slowdowns and a separate flooding crisis that left 2 inches of standing water in her shop.

"This was like, boom! You're putting this back together today," Kubic said.

The flooding wasn't caused by the construction project that has been ongoing since March, but by plumbing issues from the business next door.

"Oof, that's bad," Kubic said. "Just oh my goodness."

The combination of challenges proved overwhelming for the longtime business owner.

"Just not realizing what it would take, it's been a lot," Kubic said.

With help from the community, Kubic packed up her entire shop and moved everything off-site a career first she hopes never to repeat.

"And I don't want to do it again. It was enough," Kubic said.

Despite the difficulties, Kubic has maintained her sense of humor, decorating construction cones and putting mannequins in beach towels with a sign reading 'pardon us while we dry out' after the flood.

"This community is amazing," Kubic said.

She plans to keep her doors closed until the street reopens on Nov. 1, skipping ahead to Christmas sales when she reopens.

"I think once it's all done, it's going to be fabulous," Kubic said.

Mount Clemens Mayor Laura Kropp, who has served for 6 years, calls the project a much-needed transformation for the downtown area.

"We had a really hard time during the recession and never really got our footing back as a downtown," Kropp said. "And so I say hold on, because it's going to be a fun time in the next few months with all of the unveilings going on."

Michelle Weiss, coordinator for the Downtown Development Authority, says the project represents the first major changes to the downtown area since 1982. The improvements include curbless streets to even out the groundscape, and updated lighting and parking.

"Everything about it is going to be so fresh and new," Weiss said.

While the street is scheduled to reopen Nov. 1, the complete beautification project won't be finished until next fall.

"We're almost to the end," Kubic said.

Police in Mississippi said Wednesday they expect autopsy results to be available in the coming days after a Black student was found hanging from a tree on the campus of Delta State University.

Demartravion "Trey" Reed, 21, was found near the pickleball courts on campus Monday, sparking fear and concern among the student body.

Prominent civil rights attorney Ben Crump said Wednesday he has been retained by Reeds family, writing on social media, Trey was a young man full of promise and warmth, deeply loved and respected by all who knew him. His family and the campus community deserve a full, independent investigation to uncover the truth about what happened.

FROM THE ARCHIVES | Series Of Hanging Deaths Spark Speculation About Potential Lynchings

At a news conference held Wednesday, university officials said a preliminary report by the local coroner did not indicate foul play. The state medical examiners office was said to be conducting an autopsy Wednesday.

Campus police chief Michael Peeler said Reeds death was an isolated incident and said there were no active threats to students and faculty. The chief said video evidence was being reviewed by investigators, but he would not say what the video shows.

Crump said in a statement posted Wednesday Reeds family was demanding to see the footage.

The universitys president acknowledged the emotional toll of the incident on campus.

We recognize that this is not only about facts. Its about emotions, and its about feelings, and the way this loss, and how it was discovered, affects peoples lives, school president Dan Ennis said Wednesday.

The FBIs Jackson division told Scripps News Thursday it is prepared to investigate if necessary.

"We are aware of the incident in Cleveland, Mississippi, at Delta State University and are in regular contact with local authorities. If, during the course of the local investigation, information comes to light of a potential federal violation, the FBI is prepared to investigate, the agency said in a statement.

For the first time in nine months, the Federal Reserve has cut its key interest rate, a move that signals a shift toward easing monetary policy. The rate now sits in a range between 4% and 4.25%, down a quarter-point from where it had been since late last year.

But while the rate cut could eventually lower borrowing costs, financial experts caution that the impact on most peoples day-to-day finances wont be immediate.

High inflation continues to squeeze Americans.

Its affecting me. Definitely, certain things have gone up in price, Christopher Robinson, a consumer in Phoenix, said.

And stagnant wages arent helping.

If you're working for lower wages, all the prices seem to be going up, but not the wages as well, David Henzerling, of Scottsdale, Arizona, said.

The rate cut may ease pressure in some areas, but dont expect a quick fix.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT | ATM fees climb to nearly $5, hitting record high

I don't know how much people are going to feel this in their day-to-day, Kate Ashford, an NerdWallet Investing Specialist, said. "I think this is going to make borrowing a little bit cheaper, and it's going to drop savings rates, probably a little bit over time. But in your day-to-day life, groceries, gas, healthcare, this isn't really going to drop costs all that much.

Still, Ashford recommends using this shift as an opportunity to reassess your finances and make some strategic moves that can lead to long-term financial gains.

Her advice: focus first on tackling high-interest credit card debt. Look for zero-percent balance transfer cards to consolidate and save money.

Next, make sure you have an emergency fund, ideally enough to cover three to six months of expenses, kept in a high-yield savings account.

She also suggests locking in good rates while they're still available, especially in certificates of deposit (CDs) and online savings accounts.

For those with higher mortgage or auto loan rates, it may be a good time to explore refinancing options to lower your monthly payments.

This is kind of a long game for people. But it is those little steps you take over time that add up in the end, Ashford said.

For homeowners, the rate cut could bring new opportunities - if they act quickly.

This is going to make it easier for you to afford a home, Cynthia Fick, CEO of Financial Life Planners, said. If you already have one, and you're up at, you know, 7% or so in your mortgage rate, you might want to consider refinancing. I don't think interest rates will be going back down to 3% or less, but they may have further to go.

Some consumers say theyre not pretending this is a magic wand.

Theres too many variables at play, Henzerling said.

Still, some consumers say the rate shift is enough to influence their financial strategy.

Its definitely changing the level of risk Im willing to take on in the near future. It's definitely making me make appropriate adjustments to my long-term plan, Robinson said.

Fick encourages consumers to stay grounded but optimistic.

Were going to have volatility. Were going to have ups and downs in all aspects of our financial lives, Rick said. " In the long run, I think were in a very good time, and that investors and consumers should keep an open mind to things going a little bit better than they might think they will.

Marine One was forced to land at a U.K. airfield while carrying President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump.

The incident happened as the president was preparing to leave the country after his second official state visit this year.

"Due to a minor hydraulic issue, and out of an abundance of caution, the pilots landed at a local airfield before reaching Stansted Airport," White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said. "The president and first lady safely boarded the support helicopter."

The Trumps later boarded Air Force One and departed for Washington.

During the visit, Trump held a press conference with Prime Minister Keir Starmer that underscored both alignment and differences on foreign policy, trade and technology.

Speaking about the war in Ukraine, Trump said Russian President Vladimir Putin had let him down, while Starmer insisted Putin does not want peace.

Thursdays schedule was focused on official business, while Wednesday featured more of a royal welcome. The president and first lady met with King Charles and Queen Camilla, who hosted a formal banquet at Buckingham Palace. Prince William and Princess Kate also attended.

Conservationists have filed a lawsuit to halt Florida's first black bear hunt in a decade, arguing that the hunt scheduled for December is unconstitutional and contradicts the state's own policy protecting native species.

State officials approved the hunt in August despite strong opposition. Bear Warriors United filed the complaint against the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission in circuit court in Tallahassee on Wednesday.

The FWCs illegal action undermines its constitutional duty to manage the black bear population based on scientifically supported recommendations, not the whims of the Commission, the complaint reads.

A spokesperson for the agency declined to comment on the pending litigation.

The conservation group previously filed a similar complaint in an administrative court, but voluntarily withdrew it after attorneys for the fish and wildlife agency argued that it isn't subject to an administrative ruling on the issue.

The commission voted unanimously in favor of the hunt last month, including plans to use dogs and target the bears in baited locations. State officials say they need to manage growing bear populations, which the wildlife agency says have recovered significantly.

State officials have also noted an increase in interactions between people and bears, with the animals digging through homeowners' trash cans and injuring or killing farmers' livestock.

We make decisions based on science, Commission Chair Rodney Barreto said at the time.

Opponents have called the hunt a cruel, unnecessary excuse for hunters to bag a trophy animal when the real issue is humans encroaching on bear habitats as the country's third most populous state continues to add people.

There are an estimated 4,000 black bears in Florida, one of the few states with sizable populations that do not have a bear hunting season.

This year's plan has more stringent rules than the 2015 hunt did, when hunting permits were provided to anyone who could pay for them. That led to a chaotic event that shut down days early after 300-plus bears were killed, including at least 38 females with cubs, meaning the young bears probably died too.

Uber Eats will soon be making some meal deliveries with drones.

Uber Technologies said Thursday that it's partnering with drone company Flytrex Inc. The companies expect to begin deliveries in test markets by the end of this year. Uber didn't say where those markets will be, but Flytrex is already operating in Texas and North Carolina.

It's the latest partnership in the fast-growing drone delivery space. Flytrex, which is based in Tel Aviv, Israel, also makes deliveries for Uber Eats' rival DoorDash.

Wing, a drone company owned by Google parent Alphabet, works with DoorDash and Walmart. Zipline, a drone company based in South San Francisco, works with Walmart and Panera Bread and also makes deliveries for hospitals. Amazon also making deliveries with its own Prime Air drones.

"Autonomous technology is transforming mobility and delivery faster than ever before," said Sarfraz Maredia, Uber's president of autonomous mobility and delivery, in a company statement. "With Flytrex, we're entering the next chapterbringing the speed and sustainability of drone delivery to the Uber Eats platform, at scale, for the first time."

"The promise of autonomous vehicles is here, redefining logistics on the ground and in the air," said Noam Bardin, executive chairman of Flytrex. "Autonomous drones are the future of food deliveryfast, affordable, and hands-free. Flytrex has already delivered over 200,000 meals to suburban households in the past three years. Partnering with Uberpioneers of ground-based mobilitybrings together proven logistics expertise with aerial innovation. Together, we're building the infrastructure for a future where autonomous systems seamlessly move goods through our communities, making faster, safer, and more sustainable delivery the new standard."

San Francisco-based Uber is making an investment in Flytrex as part of the deal. Financial details of the partnership weren't shared Thursday.

Flytrex, which was founded in 2013, said it has made more than 200,000 deliveries across the U.S. Flytrex Executive Chairman Noam Bardin said the partnership combines Uber's logistics expertise with Flytrex's aerial innovation.

"Autonomous drones are the future of food delivery fast, affordable and hands-free," Bardin said in a statement.

The Federal Trade Commission announced it has filed a lawsuit against Ticketmaster and Live Nation for allegedly using illegal tactics to deceive customers and artists.

The FTC said Ticketmaster and Live Nation coordinated with third-party ticket brokers and allowed them to harvest millions of dollars worth of tickets. Those tickets were then sold at prices well above face value in the secondary market, the FTC said.

The suit alleges the companies were aware that ticket brokers used fake IP addresses to get around ticket-buying limits meant to prevent brokers from purchasing tickets in mass quantities. Ticketmaster then knowingly allowed these brokers to resell the tickets at higher prices, with Ticketmaster collecting fees on the resold tickets, according to the FTC.

The suit also claims Ticketmaster provided technical support for brokers to help them circumvent ticket-buying limits.

In addition, the FTC alleges Ticketmaster deceptively hid ticket fees during the buying process, resulting in $16.4 billion from 2019 to 2024.

The action comes one month after the FTC accused the Key Investment Group of bypassing Ticketmasters policies to purchase hundreds of tickets, then reselling them at a massive profit.

A federal judge is being asked to impose a civil penalty against the Key Investment Group for violating the Better Online Ticket Sales Act, which was signed into law by President Barack Obama in December 2016. The law prohibits companies from circumventing control measures used by online ticket sellers such as Ticketmaster.

In March, President Donald Trump signed an executive order urging the FTC to rigorously enforce the Better Online Ticket Sales Act.

President Donald Trump made it clear in his March Executive Order that the federal government must protect Americans from being ripped off when they buy tickets to live events, said FTC Chairman Andrew N. Ferguson. American live entertainment is the best in the world and should be accessible to all of us. It should not cost an arm and a leg to take the family to a baseball game or attend your favorite musicians show. The Trump-Vance FTC is working hard to ensure that fans have a shot at buying fair-priced tickets, and todays lawsuit is a monumental step in that direction.

Turning Point USA has named Erika Kirk, the widow of Charlie Kirk, as the new CEO and chair of the board for the organization.

According to the organization, the late CEO and co-founder of Turning Point USA, who was shot and killed at an event last week, previously expressed that he would want Erika to lead in the event of his death.

Turning Point USA, a political nonprofit organization that advocates for conservative politics on high school and college campuses across the U.S., is headquartered in Phoenix.

Supporters of Kirk have been gathering at a growing memorial at the Turning Point headquarters.

President Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court on Thursday to block a lower court order that reinstated Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, arguing he had cause to remove her over alleged mortgage fraud.

President Trump removed Cook on Aug. 25, but lower courts blocked the move and ordered her reinstated.

RELATED STORY | Appeals court rejects Trump's bid to unseat Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook ahead of rate vote

In the filing with the Supreme Court, Trump's attorneys argue this issue is a case of "improper judicial interference with the Presidents removal authority."

The White House claims Cook committed fraud in 2021 when she purchased two properties. Claiming a primary residence on a mortgage application can lead to a lower mortgage rate and a smaller down payment.

RELATED STORY | Federal Reserve lowers interest rates by 0.25% for the first time in 2025

Cook has denied committing any such offense and has not been charged with a crime.

She participated in this week's Federal Reserve meetings, where the core interest rate was slashed by 0.25 percentage points. It was the first time the rate was cut in 2025.

President Trump has openly criticized the Fed for not lowering rates, while Fed Chair Jerome Powell has voiced concern over elevated inflation.

After the pandemic forced its closure in 2020, the Detroit Children's Museum is reopening, according to an announcement from the Detroit Public Schools Community District Foundation (DPSCD Foundation).

According to the foundation, the museum is able to reopen its doors thanks to grant funding totaling just over $800,000, which the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity awarded the DPSCD Foundation.

The museum, which has been owned and operated by the school district, will be restored and re-imagined at its original address (6134 2nd Avenue).

After undergoing strife linked to the district's financial crisis in 2009, the museum had operated in a limited capacity for just over a decade (2009-2020).

This is a historic moment for Detroit, said Kerrie Mitchell Campbell-Mabins, President & CEO of the DPSCD Foundation, in a statement. The Childrens Museum has shaped generations of learners, and reopening its doors means reigniting that spark for thousands more. The states investment allows us to bring this vision to life, but keeping it alive will take all of us partners, families, and community leaders who believe in giving Detroit students the same world-class opportunities as any child, anywhere."

DPSCD students will get to experience the museum first in an exclusive preview period in October and November. After getting the feedback of the students, the DPSCD foundation says they plan to reopen the museum to the public in December 2025.

First responders rushed to a private jail in rural Pennsylvania last month, where guards discovered one of the hundreds of immigrants detained there hanging in a shower room.

Efforts to revive 32-year-old Chaofeng Ge failed. The Chinese national who had been living in New York City was pronounced dead from suicide.

"Obviously, Mr. Ge's family is very concerned," said New York state senator John Liu, who has been in touch with Ge's brother. "They were surprised that this would have happened."

Scripps News has learned Ge's suicide was not the first sign of trouble at the jail in Philipsburg, also known as the Moshannon Valley Processing Center. The jail is owned by the GEO Group and under contract with Immigration and Customs Enforcement to help house migrants arrested as part of President Donald Trump's deportation push. With more than 1,300 ICE detainees, Moshannon Valley is one of the largest in the nation.

Court documents reviewed by the Scripps News investigative team, and interviews with detainees, reveal urgent complaints about conditions at the jail in the weeks before, during and after Ge's death.

A previous Scripps News investigation exposed safety issues at a detention center in Leavenworth, Kansas, and other privately run jails going back years.

Conducting oversight of private jails has been difficult even for members of Congress. Rep. Summer Lee, D-Pa., said she was turned away from Moshannon Valley, where Ge died.

"We still have questions, and we want to make sure that we get answers," Lee said in a video posted to social media.

A Scripps News crew drove to the complex but was stopped at the gate.

"I've been directed to tell you to leave," said a guard with a GEO Group logo on his shirt. "This is private property."

Dozens of detainees at the jail have been speaking out in the form of habeas corpus petitions filed in federal court. They are pleading for a judge to end their seemingly indefinite detention.

The petitions include reports of inadequate health care at the jail and other detainees placed on suicide watch in the months before Ge killed himself.

The filing for one immigrant imprisoned 15 months without a bond hearing says: "His unstable mental health has deteriorated ... While in immigration custody, he has also been sexually assaulted twice and placed on suicide watch several times."

Another petition said authorities at the jail "discontinued the 15-minute wellness checks" for a detainee who "experienced several severe panic attacks, including one that led to his hospitalization after a suicide attempt."

There is also the case of a Nigerian immigrant who had been living in New Jersey with her two children. Her attorney says she is a survivor of domestic abuse and female genital mutilation.

The detainee's petition claims the jail does not provide regular or adequate gynecological care, and that when she arrived there, "officers stripped her naked on camera," causing a severe panic attack.

She was placed on suicide watch, the court filing states.

Scripps News agreed not to reveal her name to protect her from retaliation for speaking out. In a series of phone calls from jail with Scripps News, she said her year and a half of detention at the jail has led to thoughts of harming herself.

"To commit suicide, to kill myself, because of what is going on with the pain and all," she said. "I've never been locked up like this in my life. I'm just a single mother that came to work to find a daily bread for my two kids. That is who I am."

She was detained by ICE last year after getting arrested following an altercation with acquaintances. A judge ruled she can't be deported back to Nigeria because of the likelihood of persecution.

Her petition says she needs medication to manage blood pressure, chest pain, anxiety and depression, but that "medications have not been consistently provided to her while ICE has detained her."

"The medication they give me, I think it's not working," she said. "They will tell you there is nothing they can do."

A document filed by the Justice Department in the case disputes her claims and says they are not relevant to her petition for release.

Scripps News spoke to several other detainees, including an immigrant from Jamaica who had been in the U.S. for almost 30 years before being held at Moshannon Valley Processing Center for nine months.

"We are just going out of our minds," she said in a telephone interview. "They don't give enough food. The vents are not being cleaned enough, so it's like, it's making me sick right now. That's why my voice is so raspy, I'm feeling sick at this moment."

The GEO Group did not respond to questions about specific claims from detainees at Moshannon and sent a statement that said services, including around-the-clock medical care, are monitored by ICE. The statement also said staff is trained on GEOs suicide prevention and intervention program, and that GEOs ICE locations are accredited by the American Correctional Association and the National Commission on Correctional Health Care.

The jail in Pennsylvania has been flagged for poor medical care before.

A 2022 Homeland Security report found four areas of concern: medical staffing levels, mental health care, emergency preparedness and detainee communication.

Sarah Paoletti, a law professor at the University of Pennsylvania, worked on a 2024 civil rights complaint that said "access to medical care is woefully inadequate for all people ICE detains at Moshannon" and also documented two other suicide attempts.

Ge's suicide was an inevitable tragedy, Paoletti said.

"Medical care continues to be an issue," Paoletti said. "This is a problem across the board with immigration detention. The treatment for mental health is completely inadequate, if existent at all."

The Department of Education announced it has partnered with dozens of conservative groups, including Turning Point USA, to promote patriotic civics lessons in schools.

The department called the America 250 Civics Education Coalition a landmark initiative dedicated to renewing patriotism, strengthening civic knowledge, and advancing a shared understanding of Americas founding principles in schools across the nation.

According to the department, the initiative will be led by the America First Policy Institute, a group closely aligned with conservative causes and President Donald Trump. The institute has advocated reducing the departments role while expanding school vouchers.

It has also opposed state policies that allow transgender females to compete against girls in sports.

In addition to Turning Point USA and the America First Policy Institute, other notable conservative groups involved include Moms for America, PragerU and the Heritage Foundation.

Through the program, Education Secretary Linda McMahon said grants will be awarded to promote a civic education that teaches American history, values, and geography with an unbiased approach.

In the American system, educated citizens who know their rights and embrace their responsibilities cooperate to build a more perfect union, McMahon said. It is imperative to promote an education system that teaches future generations honestly about Americas founding principles, political institutions, and rich history. To truly understand American values, the tireless work it has taken to live up to them, and this countrys exceptional place in world history is the best way to inspire an informed patriotism and love of country.

It is unclear how grants will be administered, as federal law prohibits the Department of Education from imposing any direction, supervision, or control over the curriculum program of instruction, administration, or personnel of any educational institution, school, or school system.

Ford Field in Detroit is about to transform into a site for free health screenings for men 18 years and older and they don't even have to have health insurance to participate.

Men's health event happening at Detroit's Ford Field

The 15th annual event will happen on September 20 from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m., and it's hosted by the Michigan Men's Health Foundation.

Far too often, men avoid going to the doctor and dont recognize and prioritize their physical and mental health, said Dr. Michael Lutz, president and founder of the Michigan Mens Health Foundation, in a statement. This is an opportunity to sit down with medical experts, one-on-one, and ask any questions you have, free of charge, in a very cool environment at Ford Field.

The foundation says the health screenings and tests are able to happen in partnership with Corewell Health, Henry Ford Health, Wayne Health, Wren Laboratories and others.

The services available include: vital screenings, bloodwork, vaccinations, HIV testing, oral cancer and dental checks, vision screenings, skin cancer screenings, vein dopplers, foot screenings, colorectal cancer FIT kits, posture and spine evaluation, kidney screenings and mental health evaluations.

The man who fatally shot three Pennsylvania officers and injured two before he was killed by police has been identified as 24-year-old Matthew James Ruth, according to a law enforcement official.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because they werent authorized to discuss an ongoing investigation.

The officers were killed Wednesday while following up on a domestic-related investigation that began on Tuesday. Two more officers were wounded in the shooting and police killed the gunman.

Hours after Wednesdays shooting, community members held American flags and saluted as police and emergency vehicles formed a procession to the coroners office. It was one of the deadliest days for Pennsylvania police this century.

Gov. Josh Shapiro condemned the violence at a news conference and said it was a tragic loss of life. Attorney General Pamela Bondi called the violence against police a scourge on our society.

It was one of the deadliest days for Pennsylvania police this century. In 2009 three Pittsburgh officers responding to a domestic disturbance were ambushed and shot to death by a man in a bulletproof vest.

Police departments across the region expressed condolences on social media. People were leaving flowers at the headquarters of the Northern York Regional Police Department.

The shooting erupted in the area of North Codorus Township, about 115 miles (185 km) west of Philadelphia, not far from Maryland, authorities said.

Dirk Anderson heard quite a few shots from his home across the street from the shooting, he said. He saw a helicopter and police arrive.

The emergency response unfolded on a rural road in south-central Pennsylvania. Some 30 police vehicles blocked off roads bordered by a barn, a goat farm and soybean and corn fields.

The two injured officers were in critical but stable condition at York Hospital, authorities said.

Authorities have not identified the officers or which police department they belonged to, or describe how they were shot, citing the investigation.

Family members of those killed were grieving but proud of their loved ones, said Shapiro.

Another officer in the area was killed in February, when a man armed with a pistol and zip ties entered a hospitals intensive care unit and took staff members hostage before a shootout that left both the man and an officer dead.

An immigration judge has ordered pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil deported from the United States to either Syria or Algeria.

Khalil was arrested March 8 as the administration began a broad crackdown on campus protests against Israel's war in Gaza.

The government has argued that noncitizens who protest in that manner should be deported for expressing viewpoints the administration believes are antisemitic and "pro-Hamas."

He was never charged with a crime and is a legal permanent resident of the U.S.

Khalil has been one of the most prominent faces on Columbia's campus since protests began, serving as lead negotiator during protests last spring.

According to court documents, the judge ordered his deportation for failing to disclose information on his green card application, including his involvement in a campus anti-Israel group.
