Multiple people wounded in attack in US city of Boulder, Colorado

Developing a Story

After an attack in Boulder, Colorado that the FBI director described as a “targeted terror attack,” a male suspect has been taken into custody, according to police.

Boulder Police Chief Stephen Redfearn said on Sunday that the man was apprehended following calls to the police dispatch of a person who was “setting people on fire,” while underlining that the information was “very preliminary.”

Redfearn claimed that he had been taken to the hospital and that he was not yet able to identify the suspect. According to him, the victims suffered a variety of injuries, ranging from “very serious to more minor” injuries.

The Boulder attack took place close to a memorial walk for the Israeli prisoners still living in Gaza.

Agents were present, according to FBI Director Kash Patel, who described the incident as a “targeted terror attack” in a statement.

However, Redfearn claimed that a motive was too early to speculate.

He claimed that at this time, “we are not calling it a terror attack.”

I ask that you join me in considering the victims, the victims’ families, and everyone who was involved in this tragedy because it happened on a beautiful Sunday afternoon in Boulder’s Pearl Street.

Jade Thirlwall took aim at Harry Potter author JK Rowling in an explosive outburst. The former Little Mix singer who has now ventured out as a solo artist under the name JADE made her presence known as she took to the stage at Mighty Hoopla festival on Saturday.

The 32-year-old has always been a vocal supporter of the LGBTQ+ community, and she frequently uses her platform to raise funds for causes in the area. However, Jade targeted those who she believes have voiced their opposition to the community as she took to the Mighty Hoopla stage on Saturday.

Jade urged the 30, 000 crowd to join in her chant while performing her song F*** You For Now (FUFN). Jade addressed the fans by saying, “I want you to put your middle fingers in the air and I want you to yell, “F*** you,” back at me.

She then included people she claimed were homophobic, transphobic, and misogynistic. She yelled, “J. K. Rowling,” as she turned to the audience. as the fans screamed: “F*** you”. Jade’s comments on social media received mixed reviews.

One user responded, “Nah Jade, you’re not right about this.” What did J. K. Rowling do, in a second instance? Another question was posed by J. K. Rowling: “What has he done wrong with Jade? ” What “have I missed”?

However, some leapt to defend Jade, with the phrase “Jade the icon you are” in one message. We love Jade, a second Jade supporter continued: “We love Jade!! a true “North East girl”

Another person praised “She is my biggest ally” and “I love her so much.” Joanne Rowling, J. K.’s real name, has vehemently denied being transphobic.

The 59-year-old author made the first comments about trans people six years ago and has since remained firm in her opinion that they are a threat to women in same-sex spaces like bathrooms.

Earlier this month, the author posted to her 14.3 million followers on X, formerly known as Twitter, that “nobody sane believes, or has ever believed that humans can change sex, or that binary sex isn’t a material fact.” Jade’s comments come after she joined 400 UK artists and music industry workers signing an open letter pledging solidarity with the trans community.

The trans community and allies have taken to social media to protest the inclusion of trans people in single sex spaces following the UK Supreme Court’s ruling.

The Supreme Court’s decision, which is titled “Open Letter of solidarity to the trans community from the UK music industry,” highlights the impact made on the trans, non-binary, and intersex communities.

Last week, Jade performed her first solo festival slot – and headlined the Future Sounds Stage at BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend in Liverpool’s Sefton Park.

Jade was blown away by the number of people entering the tent, according to a source at the event. After the Spice Girls and Girls Aloud, she joined the biggest female band from the UK, but she soon realized it was an “insane crowd” when she performed for her first solo show.

She did not swear, but she thanked the audience and herself. She explained to the audience that Angel of My Dreams had come after her difficulties.

Jubilant PSG Parade Champions League Trophy In Paris

The Champs-Elysees were filled with tens of thousands of football fans on Sunday to watch Paris Saint-Germain’s players and staff parade the Champions League trophy through Paris, France, before a major celebration at their home stadium.

After a 5-0 defeat at Inter Milan in the final on Saturday, the team traveled by bus directly from Munich to Roissy Airport. Along the way, numerous enthusiastic supporters welcomed them.

Some clubs had flags or flares, while others all wished their teams had won the first-ever trophy in European club football.

As they drove, the players addressed the crowd and brandished the trophy, all of whom had ’25’ on them.

Their emblematic captain Marquinhos yelled, “Let’s sing all together.”

After the game, French President Emmanuel Macron addressed the team at a reception at the Elysee palace, where they were led by coach Luis Enrique and his team, including Desire Doue, the 19-year-old who scored twice in the impressive performance from Saturday.

He declared, “You are the champions and have elevated Paris to the top of the world.”

“There were 11 of you on the field, but there was clearly a twelfth man,” Macron said, gleefully appreciative of his own loyalty to PSG’s rival club, the Olympique de Marseille.

After the final whistle on Saturday night, the president was quick to denounce the violence that had harmed the capital’s and other French celebrations.

After more than 200 cars were torched and police clashed with youths, police in France made nearly 600 arrests, according to the interior ministry.

A 17-year-old boy was stabbed in the chest in Dax, southwest of the city.

A 23-year-old scooter rider in central Paris also died after being struck by a car.

After being hurt by a firework, a police officer was placed in an induced coma.

The violent clashes are unacceptable, according to Macron, who said nothing could justify what has occurred in recent hours.

“We will fight back, we will punish, and we will be relentless.”

Macron also expressed his gratitude to the club’s players for quickly outright condemning the violence.

The club said on Sunday, “These isolated acts are contrary to the club’s values and do not in any way represent the majority of our supporters, whoseexemplary behavior throughout the season deserves praise.”

A Premier League victory parade by Liverpool Football Club in the English city ended in horrifying scenes after a car ploughed into the crowd, leaving 79 people injured, so police were on high alert to stop any repetition of Saturday’s scene.

PSG will celebrate at their Parc des Princes home ground as the day’s festivities come to an end.

PSG became only the second French team after Marseille in 1993 to win the European championship while receiving an estimated 11.8 million viewers on French television.

The Champions League or the European Cup that followed had the greatest margin of victory in a final.

Since purchasing an ailing club in 2011, Qatar Sports Investments has invested hundreds of millions of euros in PSG, but over the past few seasons they have turned their back on their previous policy of signing players like Neymar and Lionel Messi and instead have concentrated on young French talent.

Doue established himself as a rising star in international football. The fifth goal was scored by Senny Mayulu, a second-year-old who was substituted toward the end.

Everyone in the dressing room sprang into action in their own way, Mayulu said after the game, “people were filled with joy and pride,” Mayulu said.

After winning the final five years, PSG claimed that they planned to win more than they had previously made.

“We want to win again,” said PSG President Nasser al-Khelaifi. “We are building something for the future after 14 years of hard work.”

Simon Cowell, the show’s boss, acknowledged that he had been “lost” for years after his parents passed away. He shared the one thing that had completely transformed his life.

Simon Cowell has emotionally opened up on the loss of his parents as he admitted his own son Eric was the one person to save him. The talent show boss, 65, is a proud dad to his 11-year-old son but has admitted it brings up pain about not having his own parents around.

His mother, Julie, passed away in July 2015 at the age of 90, his father, Eric Philip Cowell, who passed away at the age of 81 in 1999. Simon chose his son’s name to honor his dear father by choosing him to be born one year before his mother’s passing in 2014.

The Britain’s Got Talent creator’s parents sadly missed out on huge milestones in Simon’s life, including his impressive career as well as his engagement to partner Lauren Silverman.

Simon has now admitted to being “lost” following the birth of his son, along with his parents. He emotionally shared that because I loved my parents so much and after they left, I felt a little lost for a while before Eric kind of saved me.

Because that love is a ten times more powerful, he said to People. It’s extraordinary and never goes, to put it another way. So, I didn’t anticipate that, and when it did happen, I thought, “Wow.” It’s incredible, to be sure.

The former X Factor judge even confessed that becoming a father made his job easier. He said he now thinks of Eric when he is filming his TV shows and judges acts “through his son’s eyes”.

The music mogul admitted in a more audacious way that now that he has Eric, even though he has even lost interest in his career. You realize that your career is actually far more important than your career, he said.

I believe it would feel utterly empty if I weren’t where I am now in my life, Simon continued.

Last year, Simon heartbreakingly re-lived the torment of losing his parents as he revealed he was told his beloved father had died while he was working thousands of miles from home.

The 40-year-old music mogul was celebrating Westlife’s No. When he learned that his father Eric had a fatal heart attack, he was the first to chart with Swear It Again.

His mother Julie couldn’t bear to tell Simon the tragic news when he called his family to tell them about his first success. He called the family home again hours later, revealing the terrible truth to his younger brother, Nicholas, who was able to tell him something was wrong.

Speaking to entrepreneur Steven Bartlett on his Diary of a CEO podcast, the TV star says he didn’t know what he had left to live for when his mother also died in 2015.

He said, “I believed my parents would live forever. You can’t think of your parents after they pass away, which is the hardest part of losing them. Too difficult for me.

“To keep him around, I would have had to give up all of my success.” I told them everything that I knew. They were my closest friends. It’s pure love, much like how I feel for Eric.

‘Are you getting ready for UFC?’ How super-fit Draper intimidates Bublik

French Open 2025

Location: Roland Garros, May 25 – June

The guy was 40 years ago, but this year he was in the top four, which is a remarkable accomplishment.

Alexander Bublik is undoubtedly not the first to notice. Jack Draper has been a household name all year.

The British number one’s rise has been unavoidable.

After advancing to the US Open semi-finals last year with a string of impressive performances in 2025, including winning his first ATP Masters title at Indian Wells, Draper has since risen in the rankings.

Bublik will now attempt to stop the soon-to-be-world number four after making it to the fourth round of the French Open.

For me, Jack is insane, he said, “sorry, Jack.” “It was his first day here,” he said. Are you getting ready for the UFC, I ask?

British tennis fans might have just found their next major tournament contender in 23-year-old Draper, according to the 23-year-old.

Tim Henman, a former world number four from the UK, recently stated to BBC Sport that Draper’s best qualities, including his left-handed serve and crunching forehand, could “work on any surface.”

However, Draper had never won a clay-court major before this year, with the majority of his success occurring on grass or hard courts.

He made incredible progress on the surface this year, and he won his first clay final in Madrid in April.

Draper’s ability to recover from the injuries that have plagued him in the past has contributed significantly to his improvement on the slower surface.

He will now face a second Grand Slam quarter-final only with the world number 62.

And while Draper had the best year of his career, Bublik dropped from 17th in the 2024 rankings to as low as 82nd in March.

The Kazakh traveled to Las Vegas that month to blow some steam, which caused a radical change of course.

He claimed that the reason for my fall was not a lack of attitude or practice.

“It was the exact opposite,” she said. I waited patiently for the results, and I just sat there.

“I was like, it will come if I practice more and hit my forehands better,” I said. It didn’t, and then I realized, “OK, why am I sacrificing so much?” For what? ‘”

When asked if the trip to Nevada was a training trip, Bublik replied, “No, Vegas, Vegas, like Vegas, like a hangover thing.

Three good days, I must say. I had merely let it out. I said, “I’m useless now, I can’t win a game, so let’s see how it turns out,” so let’s see how it turns out.

Bublik arrived from Vegas three hours before his next match and won his next competition, the Challenger tournament in Phoenix, Arizona. Last month, he also won on clay in Turin.

Before the Djokovic test, Norrie is back at home playing tennis.

Two British men have advanced to Roland Garros’ fourth round for the first time since 1963.

After defeating compatriot Jacob Fearnley, Cameron Norrie and 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic square off on Monday at Court Philippe Chatrier, respectively, is in the last 16.

Despite having risen to eighth in the world in 2022, world number 81 Norrie has endured a difficult couple of years.

However, Norrie, 29, now advanced to the fourth round of Slams with the win over Fearnley.

“To make the second week for the first time is really, really good and at a time when I wasn’t really stringing a lot of matches and victories together,” he said.

For various reasons, I was able to build on the momentum that I’ve really struggled to achieve over the past year and a half.

Punjab Kings set up IPL final against RCB

Ahmedabad, Qualifier 2, Indian Premier League

Mumbai Indians 203-6 (20 overs): Suryakumar 44 (26), Varma 44 (29), Azmatullah 2-43

Punjab Kings 207-5 (19 overs): Shreyas 87* (41), Wadhera 48 (29), Ashwani 2-55

By five wickets, the Punjab Kings won.

With victory over Mumbai Indians, Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer won their first Indian Premier League final in 11 years by winning 87-run unbeaten.

With an over to spare, Shreyas clinched a five-wicket victory by smashing Ashwani Kumar into the stands and chasing 204 to win.

Mumbai posted a score of 203-6 in their 20 overs after the match had begun in Ahmedabad after it had been raining for over two hours. Jonny Bairstow scored 38 off 24 balls while Tilak Varma and Suryakumar Yadav each scored 44.

The final, which will take place on Tuesday at the Narendra Modi Stadium, will feature Kings and Bengaluru.

“I adore such big events,” said Shreyas, the match’s winner.

No overs were lost in the toss, but Punjab did so before the rain started.

Before Varma and Bairstow combined for 51 runs, Australia all-rounder Marcus Stoinis removed India opener Rohit Sharma for just eight when play finally started.

Mumbai was in a good position before both fell in three deliveries, thanks to another strong partnership between Varma and Suryakumar, worth 72.

However, Naman Dhir’s 37 off of 18 balls gave the five-time champions a challenging total.

With 38 off 21 balls, including 20 from India’s fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, Australia wicketkeeper Josh Inglis set up Punjab.

However, when Inglis was taken out by Mumbai captain Hardik Pandya, the team were a distant favorite after Nehal Wadhera scored 48, with Kings needing 48 from 26 balls.

However, Shreyas kept his side in the lead and he flicked the switch to smash four sixes in the 19th over in a clinical finish after needing 23 runs off the final two overs.

The first qualifier match saw RCB take eight wickets to defeat Kings in the final match.

In the group stage, both teams scored 19 points, with Kings only managing to hold the top spot in terms of net-run rates.
