A masked suspect accused of gunning down two bank employees inside a Kentucky branch is now facing federal charges after a wild, high-speed chase that ended in a crash, according to court documents.

Brailen Weaver, 18, is accused of carrying out the April 30 attack at a U.S. Bank branch in Berea, where authorities say he shot and killed two employees shortly after entering the building.

According to an FBI affidavit, the suspect entered the bank around 1:57 p.m. and “immediately shot and killed a male victim” before fatally shooting a second employee, identified as a teller.

Kentucky State Police later identified the victims as 35-year-old Breanna Edwards and 42-year-old Brian Switzer during a press conference.

After the shooting, the suspect checked multiple drawers and fled the scene on foot, authorities said.

The case is being investigated as armed bank robbery and firearm-related homicide. Weaver faces federal charges including armed bank robbery, using a firearm in a crime of violence, and causing death through the use of a firearm.

Investigators linked Weaver to the crime through surveillance footage, social media activity and a vehicle believed to have been used in the escape.

Authorities say surveillance video captured a suspect matching Weaver’s build wearing a mask, gloves, a light-colored hoodie, gray pants and white sneakers.

A silver BMW seen leaving the area was later tied to a Facebook account associated with Weaver, according to the affidavit.

Images from Weaver’s social media accounts also appeared to show him wearing clothing consistent with what the suspect wore during the robbery, investigators said.

Location data and surveillance later placed Weaver traveling on Interstate 75 the evening of the shooting, leading to a high-speed chase involving federal, state and local authorities.

GOT A TIP?

According to investigators, Weaver allegedly reached speeds of more than 100 mph, at times hitting approximately 130 mph, before crashing the vehicle and fleeing on foot.

A firearm was recovered from the vehicle, authorities said.

Kentucky State Police previously said a “person of interest believed to be involved” in the robbery had been apprehended following a coordinated search involving multiple agencies.

Switzer leaves behind his wife and three children, according to a GoFundMe created to support his family, which describes the shooting as a “senseless act of violence.” The fundraiser says he was the sole provider and notes his wife now faces raising their children while navigating profound grief and “this kind of turmoil” following the tragedy.

This is why ABS exists and should be celebrated by baseball fans.

During Thursday’s Tigers-Braves game, home-plate umpire Roberto Ortiz was completely exposed by the computer umpire, which caught one of the most egregious missed calls since the ABS system was implemented on opening day.

How bad was the missed call? It left Tigers TV play-by-play guy Jason Benetti nearly speechless. “It is…yikes,” Benetti said as the ABS system revealed that Ortiz missed a ball right down the heart of the plate.

“It is the reason for the challenge system,” Benetti continued.

It turns out this isn’t Ortiz’s first rodeo with some rather bad missed calls. In September 2025, before ABS was instituted by Commissioner Rob Manfred and his MLB front office, Ortiz worked a Brewers-Padres game in which the Umpire Auditor account on X estimated he missed a whopping 25 calls.

Watch where these pitches ended up in the K-Zone squares:

It gets worse. In 2024, Ump Auditor reported that Ortiz missed 30 calls in a Pirates-Royals game and had a “correct call rate of only 82.5%.” While we’re at it, Ortiz worked a 2023 game where he called a pitch a strike when it was 5.27 inches off the plate, according to Ump Auditor.

Running out bad home-plate umpires might actually end up being a smart business decision by Major League Baseball. “What actually surprised me is how popular this is with fans,” Manfred said of ABS. “When the challenge happens, everybody’s kind of glued to the Jumbotron. It’s amazing. … It’s a form of fan engagement.”

To date, the ABS stats are telling:

• Total Challenges: 1,928
• Overturn Rate: 53%
• Confirmed Calls: 898
• Batter Success Rate: 46%
• Pitcher/Catcher Success Rate: 60%

What did the Treasury Department say?
The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the Treasury Department has issued an advisory in this regard. The department has received reports that Iran is threatening ships and demanding money as ‘toll’ for safe passage. America has made it clear that whatever form this payment takes, there will be a threat of sanctions on it.

Payment methods can include cash, digital currency, or even a donation to an organization. Sending money through the accounts of Iran Red Crescent Society, Buniyad Mostazafan or Iranian Embassy will also come under this scope. The US has warned that risks remain regardless of the method of transaction.

According to the rules, American citizens and companies there are prohibited from any kind of transaction with the Iranian government. They can neither provide any service to Iran nor take any service from there. This restriction will remain in effect until special permission is received from OFAC.

Warning not only for American companies
This warning is not only for American companies. If any foreign company or individual transacts with the Iranian government or its military ‘Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ (IRGC), it may also have to face punishment. Foreign banks and financial institutions have also been cautioned. If they engage in these transactions, America can close the doors of its banking system to them.

OFAC has also asked to avoid using Iran’s digital asset exchanges. America will keep its eye on Iran’s petroleum, petrochemical and shipping sectors. The US Central Command is continuously monitoring the movement of ships in this area. Companies working with Iranian ports or shipping networks may face significant risks.

As “The Devil Wears Prada 2” hits theaters, fans are avidly turning their attention to the real-life New York City locations featured in the film.

The long-awaited film sequel revisits the fast-paced world of fashion and media, following Andy Sachs, played by Anne Hathaway, and her former boss Miranda Priestly, portrayed by Meryl Streep.

It also showcases some of Manhattan’s most recognizable backdrops, from corporate office towers to upscale residential streets and everyday transit hubs.

Much like the original 2006 film, the sequel leans on real-world locations to bring the story to life — a move that could once again drive tourism interest across the city.

Check out some of the key filming spots that are already drawing attention.

Midtown office buildings

One of the most recognizable locations in the film is 1221 Avenue of the Americas, a 51-story tower in Midtown Manhattan that served as the exterior for the fictional Runway magazine headquarters in the original 2006 film.

Located between 48th and 49th Streets along Sixth Avenue, the building appears in key scenes where characters enter the office.

Filming for “The Devil Wears Prada 2” returned to the site in July 2025, drawing tourists and NYC residents, as scenes were shot outside the building and in its lobby.

Miranda Priestly’s apartment

Miranda Priestly’s upscale Manhattan apartment was a memorable setting in the original film, where Andy personally delivered the next Runway issue.

The location is on the Upper East Side — and continues to draw interest from fans exploring the city.

Smith & Wollensky steakhouse

Another notable New York City location tied to the original film is the iconic Smith & Wollensky steakhouse on 49th Street and Third Avenue.

In the original, Andy Sachs is sent to pick up a lunch order from the Midtown restaurant for Miranda and is given 15 minutes to get the steak.

Subway stations

The trailer showcases scenes outside the 34th Street–Hudson Yards subway station, near the Vessel — a 150-foot tall honeycomb-shaped interactive structure and tourist attraction made of staircases — as well as inside and outside the office building at 50 Hudson Yards.

Bubby’s

Known as one of John F. Kennedy Jr.’s go-to eateries, Bubby’s in Tribeca was also used as a filming location for “The Devil Wears Prada 2,” where Hathaway was spotted on set as fans gathered to take photos and videos during production.

The restaurant was also featured in the series “Love Story” — further adding to its appeal for visitors.

Another candid confession from Jerry O’Connell backfired fast as critics seized on the actor’s remarks about his teenage daughters’ partying and vaping habits.

O’Connell, 52, revealed his high school-aged daughters — whom he shares with wife Rebecca Romijn — have begun navigating social scenes he admits can be hard to control. The “Stand By Me” star said while he aims to keep communication with his daughters open, he’s also confronting concerns about addiction as vaping becomes a constant presence.

“It’s funny, I have teenage daughters now who are starting to go out, starting to socialize,” he told Jamie Kennedy on the “Hate to Break It to Ya” podcast. “And it’s funny, I had dinner with one of my daughters who party a little, my daughters party. They’re nepo babies in Los Angeles. They’re gonna party.”

“They’re not quite 18 yet, but they’re in high school,” he clarified. “And these kids in high school do things. I know I’m supposed to be stricter. And I’m sure some of your comments will be like, ‘He should lay down the law.’ But like I try to — it’s not how I parent.”

“It’s not how I parent,” O’Connell emphasized. “I have like a ‘call me anytime’ [rule], but I said to my daughter the other night, I was like, ‘If you can do this without getting into the drugs, it really, it’s how my friend Jamie and I are still here somehow.'”

Later in the interview, O’Connell revealed his teenage daughters are “vaping all the time.”

“Get that out of the house,” Kennedy told him. “Dude, you’ve gotta be — throw them out.”

O’Connell explained that it’s easier said than done.

“It’s addicting,” he said. “Like, so doesn’t it replace with another vape? Shouldn’t I deal with like, talking to them about, like, addiction and how this is gonna lead to a lifetime of addiction as opposed to like…” He joked, “It’s not the vape’s fault.”

“What about your wife? Does she let them vape?” Kennedy asked.

“No, we don’t let anyone vape,” O’Connell emphasized. “It’s happening. These kids are crazy these days.”

O’Connell also addressed the backlash he received for his appearance on Bill Maher’s podcast, where he claimed his wife and daughters “became physical” with him on the night of the 2024 election after he made offhand remarks about Kamala Harris’ loss to President Donald Trump.

“I said something along the lines of ‘There was no planning. This is what they get. There should have been a primary.’ I said something along those lines, you know, like I was just spitballing ideas. It was a shock. My wife and daughters, without saying anything, became physical with me. They were filled with rage,” O’Connell told Maher.

“So if I am being careful with you in how I say things, yes, I live in California,” he explained. “I live with not one, not two, but three people who, if I made any kind of joke, they’d become very angry with me.”

O’Connell clarified on Kennedy’s podcast that his family did not beat him up. “They did not,” he said. “I take that back. I fully take that back. I was making a joke.”

Fans criticized O’Connell in the comments, claiming he was overly passive and conflict-avoidant. They framed the actor as “less masculine” and influenced by “woke” Hollywood values, using stereotypes to argue he’s changed for the worse.

Your wife and daughters have stripped you of all of your masculinity and LA seems to have caused you to idk have issues,” one commenter wrote on the YouTube video of the podcast. “Bro as a real fan who loves your work, please dont be like this, woke and confused and fearful of every word you say, you are a talented man, please stop letting your family/women/woke Hollywood change you in the worst way possible, you are better than that. I really hope someone as awesome as you starts putting themselves first and stops trying to please your toxic family and woke Hollywood soon.”
