Chicago: A group of men armed with several guns, including at least one rifle, went on a cross-town robbery spree Monday morning, targeting victims from the Loop to the Gold Coast, Lincoln Park, and the Northwest Side.

Chicago police officers spotted the crew’s SUV after one of the robberies, but the cops didn’t pursue the vehicle after it entered the expressway, according to CPD radio transmissions. No arrests have been announced.

The robberies began around 3:25 a.m. at Madison and Dearborn in the Loop. Four people flagged down a Chicago police officer and reported that a group of men jumped out of a black Jeep with pistols and rifles and robbed them.

BREAKING! Ohio: Gov. Mike DeWine requested that President Joe Biden declare a major disaster five months after a toxic train derailment in East Palestine sent plumes of hazardous materials into the air and impacted thousands of residents.

In a letter written to the president, DeWine says "no unmet needs have been reported to the State," but that is only because of Norfolk Southern's voluntary actions.

DeWine said the state requested additional time from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to request the declaration as the state continued to evaluate long term needs, but FEMA denied the request on June 29. The deadline to ask for the emergency declaration was July 3.
