A suspect has been arrested in connection to a stabbing rampage in front of the Wynn Casino on the famed Las Vegas Strip that left two people dead and at least eight others wounded on Thursday. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said on Twitter: “At approximately 11:42 a.m, the LVMPD received a report of a stabbing with multiple victims in front of a casino in the 3100 block of South Las Vegas Boulevard.” 

One person was initially declared dead at the scene, while the other victims were taken to hospitals. Capt. Dori Koren of the Metropolitan Police Department updated during a news briefing that two people were pronounced dead, and the surviving victims were taken to hospitals for treatment of their injuries. Three of those victims were in critical condition, while the others are stable. Koren said a large kitchen knife was found on scene and was presumed to be the weapon used in the attack.  She added that “the scene is under control. There is not a safety issue at this time.”

Police said the suspect was taken into custody after he was found in front of the Venetian Hotel, adding that he “had a significant amount of blood on his sleeves at the time of the arrest”. The suspect was not immediately identified, and the investigation is ongoing. No motive for the attacks was immediately provided.

President Biden announces pardons of federal marijuana offenses, urging states to follow

shutterstock_2192835807-1

On Thursday, President Joe Biden announced pardons for federal marijuana offenses, and urged states to consider pardons, as well. Biden also announced a plan to review how marijuana is classified under federal law.

Biden’s pardons apply to all prior federal offenses of simple marijuana possession, clearing about 6,500 people convicted between 1992 and 2021 and thousands more who were convicted in the District of Columbia. The president said: “There are thousands of people who have prior federal convictions for marijuana possession, who may be denied employment, housing or educational opportunities as a result.”

Biden said in a statement from the White House: “I am urging all governors to do the same with regard to state offenses. Just as no one should be in a federal prison solely due to the possession of marijuana, no one should be in a local jail of state prison for that reason, either.” The president will also move to review the classification of marijuana as a Schedule 1 drug.

Biden also referred to the United States’ opioid crisis, noting that marijuana is scheduled “even higher than fentanyl and methamphetamine — the drugs that are driving our overdose epidemic.” While Biden is advocating a move away from marijuana criminalization, he added that “important limitations on trafficking, marketing and underage sales should stay in place.”

Megan Rapinoe calls for owners to be removed after reports on NWSL abuse

shutterstock_1446478667

Megan Rapinoe is calling for the ouster of the owners of the NWSL’s Portland Thorns and Chicago Red Stars in the wake of reports released that revealed systemic and pervasive abuse. According to the damning report issued Monday by former U.S. Attorney Sally Yates, Red Stars owner Arnim Whisler and Thorns owner Merritt Paulson were both told repeatedly that their coaches were abusing players and did nothing about it. Yates’ report revealed a culture of abuse throughout the NWSL and U.S. Soccer, and players with multiple teams reported verbal and emotional abuse as well as sexual harassment and sexual coercion by coaches and team officials.

On Thursday – ahead of the U.S. women’s match against England at Wembley Stadium – Rapinoe said at a news conference: “I don’t think Merritt Paulson is fit to be the owner of that team. I don’t think Arnim is fit to be the owner of Chicago. We need to see those people gone. To be here at Wembley and be able to participate in this game, which is so exciting, the juxtaposition is kind of ridiculous. We’re angry, we’re exhausted, together, unified. So it’s kind of all of it.” The U.S. women announced that they and England players will wear teal armbands as a show of solidarity with sexual assault survivors. The game features the reigning World Cup champion USWNT against European champion England; the expected crowd of about 90,000 would be the second-largest ever to see a women’s soccer game.

Portland’s Paulson (who also owns the Timbers of the MLS) stepped back from the Thorns on Tuesday pending the results of a joint investigation by the NWSL and the NWSL Players Association; and the Red Stars’ board of directors removed Whisler as chair on Wednesday.

Lionel Messi confirms 2022 FIFA World Cup will be his last

shutterstock_2195219653

Argentina superstar Lionel Messi has confirmed that the 2022 FIFA World Cup next month will be his last. Messi, 35, will be playing in his fifth World Cup and in search of his first title. It’s the first time he’s publicly stated his future plans after the tournament, which is set to begin on Nov. 20.  The team will open the tournament on Nov.22 against Saudi Arabia in Group C before facing Mexico and Poland.

Messi told Argentine journalist Sebastian Vignolo on Thursday:  “This will be my last World Cup — for sure. The decision has been made.”  He added:  “I don’t know whether we are big favorites, but I believe Argentina is a candidate because of its history, which means even more now because of the way we got here. But in a World Cup anything can happen, all the matches are very difficult. It isn’t always the favorites who win it.” 

Argentina has won the World Cup twice, in 1978 and ’86.  Messi helped lead Argentina to the quarterfinals in 2006 and ’10, then to the final in ’14, when Argentina lost to Germany, 1–0, in extra time. Messi earned the Golden Ball as the best player in the tournament, scoring four goals in seven games.

Messi has scored six goals across four World Cups to date, and four of those goals came in 2014 when Argentina lost 1-0 to Germany in the final after extra time. Argentina was eliminated in the round of 16 in 2018, losing to eventual champion France, 4-3.

The concert organizers plan to reschedule the show, but a new date has yet to be announced. All tickets for the concert will be honored at the rescheduled date and additional information will be sent to ticket holders via email at a later date.
