Baltimore man arrested for deadly August shooting that left eight people injured


BALTIMORE, MD— Eric Kibler, 43, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder for his role in an Aug. 18 mass shooting in the 1300 block of North Spring Street. The incident left 36-year-old Anthony Martin dead and seven others injured.

According to investigators, the shooting occurred around 8:01 p.m. and multiple calls reported shots fired. Upon arrival, officers located several victims suffering from gunshot wounds. A short time later, other victims arrived at area hospitals to be treated for their injuries.

Paramedics transported the victims to area hospitals, where Martin was later pronounced dead.

After extensive investigations, investigators were able to identify Kibler as the main suspect. He was arrested by the Warrant Apprehension Task Force on October 7 and transported to the Central Booking Intake Facility. In addition to first-degree murder, Kibler faces other charges in connection with the shooting.

The victims’ condition ranged from critical to stable after the attack. The motive behind the shooting has not been revealed. Anyone with further information is asked to contact Baltimore police.

    Cringed and Unhinged: Mean Girl Altmann and Cory Booker Attempt to Rally Young Voters with Decades Old Joke

    Video of U.S. Sens. Cory Booker and Sue Altman of New Jersey saying "Get in, losers!" while chanting "We're taking back the House" is making waves, but not always for the right reasons.

    Many viewers found the clip more embarrassing than convincing, comparing it to a clumsy attempt by adults to appear hip through quotes Mean Girlsa film that came out 20 years ago. The whole sentiment felt more like an embarrassing setback than a genuine call for political change.

    “Ah yes, the clown car is coming for Halloween this year,” said New Jersey Senator Mike Testa.

    In the frightening video, Cory Booker pushes the driver. Sue Altman was violently shoved by Booker, who once admitted to groping a high school girl.

    The performance, too, was a little over-the-top, with the kind of over-the-top enthusiasm more suited to a high school pep rally than a serious political campaign. It's as if they thought that simply shouting louder would make the message more effective. Unfortunately, it proved far too difficult to connect with younger voters who have probably seen enough politicians clumsily quoting pop culture and failing to seem likeable.

    While it's clear that Booker and Altman were aiming to energize their base, the video mostly just underscores how difficult it can be for politicians to strike the right tone on social media. Sometimes serious political discussions do more for a campaign than trying to go viral with a 2004 meme.

  • MAGA protesters give Doug Emhoff a not-so-warm welcome in New Jersey
    MAGA protesters give Doug Emhoff a not-so-warm welcome in New Jersey

    BERGEN COUNTY, NJ - Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff faced a crowd of protesters Monday while attending a Democratic fundraiser in Bergen County. The protesters, some of whom were identified as supporters of former President Donald Trump, confronted Emhoff with shouts of “traitor” as he arrived at the event.

    A bombshell report released last week said Emhoff attacked an ex-girlfriend in a New York nightclub. Neither Emhoff nor the Harris-Walz campaign have responded to the allegations.

    Witnesses at the scene reported that protesters questioned Emhoff about an alleged assault on a woman in nearby New York City, although there are no public records of any charges or allegations against him. Emhoff did not respond to the crowd's comments as he entered the venue, and organizers did not comment on the protest.

    New Jersey Republican District Committeeman Michael Casey shared videos of the interaction.

    The demonstration took place outside a private fundraiser aimed at supporting local Democratic candidates in the upcoming election. According to participants, protesters gathered outside the venue shortly before Emhoff's arrival and dispersed after announcing their presence.

    Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, has been an active figure at Democratic events across the country, often speaking at fundraisers and community meetings.

    Authorities in Bergen County reported no arrests or incidents of violence related to the protest. The event went as planned without any further disruptions.
