EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — Canada's defense minister said Saturday that people were killed and injured in an incident at a military base in Alberta that caused a major fire, while reports said that large numbers of injured people were transported to hospitals.
Fire crews scrambled late into the night as fierce winds whipped flames beyond Canadian Forces Base Wainwright and into the surrounding rural area.
It was not immediately clear how many people were killed or injured, but a doctor at a hospital in the city of Edmonton, 180 kilometers (120 miles) northwest, told Canada's national broadcaster that patients were being brought to hospitals across the city as healthcare facilities around the base became "completely overwhelmed" by the number of people needing care.
"This number of patients would overwhelm the city of Edmonton," Dr. Warren Thirsk, an emergency department physician at the Royal Alexandra Hospital, told CBC News. "It is more patients than any of us want to count right now. It's a disaster. It's a one in every 15- to 25-year disaster."
Acute Care Alberta said several hospitals across the province had activated a "Code Orange," an emergency designation used when multiple severely injured patients require coordinated medical care. The agency said emergency medical resources were stretched so thin that extremely few ambulances were available in the Edmonton area. It urged people to avoid the University of Alberta Hospital emergency department if possible.
Wainwright Mayor Bruce Pugh said the town's small hospital was not designed to handle a mass-casualty incident but praised the response of local medical personnel. He said helicopters and planes had been transporting patients to other facilities for treatment.

School Blockades Continue Across France as Protesters Are Called to the Bastille
Thursday October 15th, 2026
The Epoch Times, by Etienne Fauchaire: Blockades at high schools and universities continued across France on Oct. 7, a day before students and teachers were expected to return to the streets for another nationwide protest.
The Student Union called on high school and university students to resume blockades on the morning of Oct. 8 before “converging on Bastille” in Paris at 3 p.m., a call seen as a reference to the storming of the Bastille on July 14, 1789, during the French Revolution.
Several education unions, including SNES-FSU, France’s largest secondary school teachers’ union, also called for strikes and demonstrations in support of the students.
The number of disrupted high schools fell significantly on Oct. 7. Classes were fully or partially suspended at 459 schools, compared with 891 the previous day, according to the Education Ministry, which described the movement as being in sharp decline.
The Oct. 8 demonstrations will mark the fourth nationwide day of action in a protest movement led largely by far-left student organizations and initially fueled by grievances over school conditions.

DHS Calls on Sanctuary Politicians to Stop Violent Rhetoric Against ICE as Assaults Increase by More Than 1,600%
Release Date: September 24, 2026
Assaults against ICE officials have risen by more than 1,600% compared to the first year and a half of the Biden Administration
WASHINGTON – The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released the following statement calling on sanctuary politicians across the country to stop using hateful and violent rhetoric against the men and women of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), who are currently facing a more than 1,600% increase in assaults against them.
According to the latest data, there were 647 assaults against ICE from January 20, 2025 to September 20, 2026, compared to just 37 under the Biden Administration from January 20, 2021 to September 20, 2022. This marks an increase of 1,649%.
“The brave men and women of ICE, who are simply enforcing the laws mandated by Congress and protecting the American people, are under attack every single day. Since President Trump unleashed ICE to do their jobs, assaults against them have risen by more than 1,600% in the first year and a half of the administration,” said DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin. “This is the result of the vicious lies being spread by sanctuary politicians and their foot soldiers who are involved in anti-ICE riots and other acts of violence. DHS is calling on these sanctuary politicians to stop attacking federal law enforcement, stop putting the needs of illegal aliens ahead of the safety of American citizens, and to start working with us to make America safe again.”
Below are some of the most egregious examples of hateful rhetoric by sanctuary politicians against ICE:
- Representative Greg Casar said “we will all be more safe when ICE gets the hell out of Austin, Texas.”
- Representative Lloyd Doggett falsely claimed that illegal aliens “are not posing any danger to our community and are contributing to our community,” while also saying that ICE “acts in a secretive way as if it’s above the law.”
- Austin Mayor Kirk Watson falsely claimed that ICE has a “rogue nature” and “foment[s] chaos.”
- Austin City Councilwoman Krista Laine falsely claimed that ICE is “terrorizing our cities and threatening the safety of our residents.”
- Minnesota Governor Tim Walz compared ICE to a “modern-day Gestapo.”
- Representative Jasmine Crockett compared ICE to “slave patrols…disappearing people based on their skin color,” and also accused ICE of “turning us into Nazi Germany.”
- Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker claimed that the United States is “essentially” becoming Nazi Germany because of ICE’s heroic efforts.
- Boston Mayor Michelle Wu compared mask-wearing ICE agents to a Neo-Nazi group.
- Representative Becca Balint compared ICE law enforcement officers to “vigilantes” engaging in “kidnapping.”
- Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hosted a webinar providing tips for illegal aliens to evade arrests at homes, workplaces, or in public.
- Representative Dan Goldman posted an online video calling on illegal aliens to make a plan for ICE encounters.
- Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass issued multilingual flyers and online resources advising illegal aliens on how to evade arrest.
- California Governor Gavin Newsom released guides and sanctuary laws advising illegal aliens how to recognize ICE, block entry, and defy arrest.
- Representative Shri Thanedar introduced the Abolish ICE Act and stated that ICE “cannot be reformed and must be abolished.”
- Representative Ilhan Omar delivered a House floor speech calling to abolish ICE.
- Representative John Larson called ICE law enforcement officers “the SS” and “the Gestapo” for arresting criminal illegal aliens.
- Representative Pramila Jayapal called ICE agents “deranged” and said it is “inspiring” to obstruct immigration enforcement.
- Representative Eric Swalwell compared ICE agents to a “KGB officer in Russia.”

'Our hearts are broken': Pastor mourns loss after deadly tent collapse at outdoor church event

Pastor Troy Keaton of EastLake Community Church in Moneta, Virginia, said his church family was grieving after one person died and more than 20 others were injured when a burst of wind lifted a tent during an outdoor 20th-anniversary service.
The collapse happened at about 6:45 p.m. on Friday during an outdoor service, and a severe storm cell had moved through the area with heavy rain, lightning and strong winds before the tent structure failed, according to a statement by Bedford County, Virginia.
Eleven people were taken by ambulance to local hospitals, and 11 others were treated at the scene for minor injuries. One person died at the scene.
Bedford 911 Emergency Communications received the initial report and classified the incident as a mass casualty event.
First responders from Moneta Volunteer Fire Department were already at the event and began rescue efforts immediately, while emergency personnel and resources from neighboring localities also responded, according to the county’s statement.
The tent had passed an inspection by the Bedford County Division of Building Inspections last Tuesday.
County officials extended condolences to the church community and thanked local and regional first responders for their work.
The release linked the failure to weather conditions, saying the storm cell brought heavy rain, lightning and strong winds before the tent failed.

NC woman accused of mowing down cop freed on low bail, sparking police fury: ‘Enough is enough’
By Anna Young
Published March 7, 2026, 7:15 p.m. ET
A North Carolina woman accused of plowing her car into a cop in a brazen, caught-on-camera attack was freed on bond just hours after her arrest – a “very frustrating” move that has police fuming.
Tanaezah Michelle Austin, 25, posted a $3,000 bond and was back on the streets hours after she was jailed for slamming her black Kia Optima into a Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police officer as cops tried to break up a “street takeover” in Charlotte on March 1, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by Fox News.
Police said the officer was standing in front of the car ordering Austin to stop when she allegedly hit the gas and sped off amid mayhem unfolding in a Harris Teeter parking lot around 3:25 a.m.

One person was killed and six others were hurt in a shooting Tuesday afternoon near East Lake Street and Interstate 35W in south Minneapolis.
Hours later, two people died in two other shootings in the city. Police said early Wednesday that they don’t yet know if any of the shootings are connected.
Catholic school shooting
At a news conference Tuesday following the first shooting, Police Chief Brian O’Hara said the shooter walked up to a group of people who were standing at the corner of East 29th Street and Clinton Avenue South and opened fire.
One man died from his injuries; five other men and a woman were injured in the gunfire. Some of the victims ran away and took shelter in nearby businesses
O’Hara said the attack was not random, and the killer fired about 30 rounds from a high-powered rifle before fleeing.
“It’s more a weapon of war than something to be on the street here,” O’Hara said. “Just the damage that was done to the bodies of some of these victims is unspeakable. And thankfully we don't have more people that are dead from this incident.”
The shooting happened outside Cristo Rey Jesuit High School while students were inside. O’Hara did not say if anyone affiliated with the school was involved in the incident.
In an update Wednesday afternoon — from the scene of a separate mass shooting at a Catholic church in south Minneapolis — O’Hara said two people have been arrested “for assisting in” the Tuesday afternoon shooting.
“We have not gotten the shooter yet, but we believe we have two people under arrest that were present with the shooter when that happened, and we’re making significant progress,” O’Hara said.
