Minneapolis

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer who shot and killed a Minneapolis woman last week reportedly suffered internal bleeding after being hit by her vehicle.

Multiple outlets are citing U.S. officials at the Department of Homeland Security for the latest update in the investigation.

ICE officer Jonathan Ross, who is accused of fatally shooting Renee Good that morning, suffered a reported torso injury when he was struck by her SUV.

Fox News said Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin confirmed to the network on Wednesday that Ross had internal bleeding.

Ross fired his gun after Good allegedly tried to ram him and other officers with her SUV on Jan. 7. Federal officials said he acted in self-defense.

Multiple videos shared from the scene, including a cellphone video that appears to show the tense moments leading up to the shooting, have garnered mixed reactions.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Good’s SUV was part of a group of protesters that had been harassing agents and “impeding operations” that day.

Loved ones said Good was a mother of three and had just dropped off her youngest child at an elementary school before the shooting.

Dozens of passengers sickened on cruise ship in norovirus outbreak, CDC says

Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

Health officials say dozens of people aboard a cruise ship based in Florida have been sickened in a reported norovirus outbreak.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 90 people aboard a Holland America Line cruise ship reported symptoms of gastrointestinal illness.

Those affected by the outbreak showed typical symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea, officials said.

The reported illness occurred on the Holland America Line cruise ship Rotterdam during its voyage between Dec. 28, 2025, and Jan. 9.

According to CruiseMapper, the ship began the trip in Fort Lauderdale and had scheduled stops that included Colombia, Costa Rica and Jamaica.

The CDC’s latest report listed 85 passengers and nine crew members with symptoms.

Health officials said crew members responded with increased cleaning and disinfection procedures, and isolated affected passengers and crew.

The cruise line said most of the cases were mild and resolved quickly.

The CDC says norovirus is the leading cause of vomiting and diarrhea and of foodborne illness in the country, affecting people of all ages. Proper handwashing and other simple steps can help prevent it.

Minneapolis

A new video has been released, appearing to show cellphone footage from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer involved in the fatal Minneapolis shooting.

CNN said it has obtained the video, showing the tense moments leading up to Wednesday’s shooting in a neighborhood that took the life of 37-year-old Renee Good.

The 37-year-old was fatally shot behind the wheel of her SUV during the confrontation with ICE.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said the SUV was part of a group of protesters that had been harassing agents and “impeding operations” that morning.

Loved ones said Good was a mother of three, and she had just dropped off her youngest child at an elementary school before the shooting.

The ICE officer has been identified as Jonathan Ross. Records show he has served as a deportation officer with the agency since 2015.

The deadly shooting has set off a clash between federal and state officials over whether the shooting appeared justified.

The motorsport world is mourning the death of former NASCAR driver Michael Annett.

JR Motorsports announced Annett’s death Friday evening.

Annett was 39 years old.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Annett family with the passing of our friend Michael Annett,” the company shared online.

He drove for JR Motorsports in the Xfinity Series for five seasons from 2017 to 2021.

“Michael was a key member of JRM … and was an important part in turning us into the four-car organization we remain today,” team members wrote.

According to NASCAR, the Des Moines, Iowa, native earned his career-best achievement in 2019, winning the series’ season-opening race at Daytona International Speedway in the No. 1 JRM Chevrolet.

Annett made his debut in the Xfinity Series in 2008 and spent three years at the sport’s top level in the NASCAR Cup Series with Turner Scott Motorsports from 2014 through 2016.

He finished his career with JRM in 2021 after a stress fracture in his leg sidelined him for parts of the season.

“NASCAR is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of former NASCAR driver Michael Annett,” NASCAR said in a statement. “Michael was a respected competitor whose determination, professionalism, and positive spirit were felt by everyone in the garage.”

Annett’s cause of death was not immediately released.
