Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez and NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch announced the arrest and charging of 36 alleged members of two rival Brownsville-based gangs. The DA’s office says members of the WOOO and CHOO gangs terrorized the Brownsville community for the past three years, with at least 36 shootings tied to the groups. Many of the shootings happened in areas where children and bystanders were present, including playgrounds and residential neighborhoods. Authorities say 11 people were injured in those shootings. One man, 34-year-old Tahriq Thompson, was killed in June 2025 at Riverdale Towers. Officials noted that while shootings in Brooklyn are down this year compared to last year, concerns remain about the ages of those involved. Of the 36 people arrested in the takedown, 26 are teens.

Brooklyn DA: 36 gang members arrested in major Brownsville gang bust | News 12
We are now learning that Iran has rejected another round of peace talks with the United States. This comes just hours after President Donald Trump said the talks in Pakistan would be Iran’s “last chance” to sign a deal, or “the whole country is getting blown up. Trump made the comments to Fox News’ Trey Yingst as the war against Iran continues to cause instability across the Middle East. LiveNOW’s Andy Mac is speaking to Will Weissert of The Associated Press after President Trump says that the U.S. has forcibly seized an Iranian-flagged cargo ship near the Strait of Hormuz after it attempted to breach the ongoing blockade.
Today, on social media, Trump said, “Today, an Iranian-flagged cargo ship named TOUSKA, nearly 900 feet long and weighing almost as much as an aircraft carrier, tried to get past our Naval Blockade, and it did not go well for them.”
We have also heard more as the back-and-forth between President Donald Trump and Pope Leo XIV continues. Leo recently said it is “not in my interest at all” to debate President Trump about the war in Iran but that he would continue preaching the Gospel message of peace.
