This incident is already sparking widespread debate and concern, both locally and nationally. We will continue to follow developments closely and bring you updates as more information becomes available.
For now, the circumstances surrounding the shooting remain unclear, and authorities are urging the public to remain calm as the investigation unfolds.

U.S.-VENEZUELAN CRISIS
JEREMY ADELMAN: NAVIGATING OIL, HOPE, AND UNCERTAINTY IN POST-MADURO VENEZUELA
SLING NEWS: Jeremy Adelman, a distinguished scholar specializing in Latin American and global history and serving as the Director of the Global History Lab at the University of Cambridge, United Kingdom—formerly of Princeton University—provides a critical assessment of Venezuela’s status as a petrostate following the removal of Nicolás Maduro. Adelman asserts that Venezuelan society remains profoundly divided; despite some public optimism regarding Maduro’s ousting, the entrenched ideological framework of “Chavismo” persists.
Jeremy Adelman also notes that Venezuela’s oil sector has experienced significant decapitalization since the 1980s and 1990s, requiring considerable investment to restore refining capabilities. Adelman therefore questions the incentives for refinery companies to invest under such prevailing political and economic volatility.
Ongoing developments will continue to be analyzed, with further expert perspectives forthcoming on the prospects for Venezuela and the trajectory of United States–Latin America relations.
U.S. STRIKES VENEZUELA, MADURO CAPTURED
SLING NEWS: Major developments are unfolding as President Trump authorizes a military intervention at a Venezuelan fortress in Caracas to apprehend President Nicolas Maduro. The Trump administration has formally charged Maduro with leading a corrupt government that promotes illegal activity, including drug trafficking, and alleges a military alliance between Venezuela and Russia.
NOW, POINT NUMBER 1
President Trump’s speech was brief and lifeless, and yet he sought to reassure Americans with sympathetic statements.
POINT NUMBER 2
This intervention may unite Americans and shift attention from recent accusations against President Trump, including those related to the Jeffrey Epstein case.
PONT NUMBER 3
It is important to consider whether this intervention is intended to help Venezuelans or is driven by strategic interests, such as securing access to oil and establishing a pro-American government.
AND FINALLY
In the coming weeks, we will consult experts to analyze U.S. actions in Venezuela and their impact on Latin American relations.

SLING NEWS EXCLUSIVE:
Inside Tina Lai’s Court Appearance Following (Southern California) Domestic Terrorism Arrest
In an exclusive statement to SLING NEWS, Ciaran McEvoy of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California reported, “Today in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, Tina Lai was arraigned. She pleaded not guilty. Her trial is scheduled for February 12. She remains in federal custody. Her co-defendants will be arraigned later this month.” First Assistant United States Attorney Bill Essayli conveyed a message to Southern California, stating, “Through the collaborative efforts of federal and local law enforcement, a domestic terrorist attack was prevented from occurring this New Year’s Eve in Southern California. Far-left anti-government extremist groups intent on undermining the American way of life will not succeed and will always face the full force of the law.”
SLING NEWS (1/2/2026-Los Angeles) According to statements from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California, spokesperson Ciaran McEvoy, and the FBI’s Los Angeles Division, four members of the Turtle Island Liberation Front (TILF)—an anti-capitalist and anti-government organization—were arrested in the Mojave Desert for allegedly planning to bomb two U.S. companies with improvised explosive devices on New Year’s Eve 2025. The individuals are identified as Audrey Illeene Carroll, 30, also known as “Asiginaak,” of South Los Angeles; Zachary Aaron Page, 32, also known as “AK,” of Torrance; Dante Gaffield, 24, also known as “Nomad,” of South Los Angeles; and Tina Lai, 41, also known as “Kickwhere,” of Glendale. According to a U.S. Department of Justice press release, Attorney General Pamela Bondi detailed that the Turtle Island Liberation Front—a far-left, pro-Palestinian, anti-government, and anti-capitalist group—was preparing for multiple bombings across California beginning on New Year’s Eve, including planned attacks on ICE agents and vehicles. In a separate FBI Los Angeles Division press release, Assistant Director Akil Davis stated that the defendants allegedly intended to bomb American businesses on New Year’s Eve, but the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force and its partners disrupted the plot before it could be executed. Davis emphasized that, while the extremist group encouraged supporters to prepare for action, law enforcement remained vigilant and ready to prevent their plans.
