(HATTIESBURG, Miss.) — A University of Southern Mississippi football player was found shot to death in his car Tuesday night, police said.
Marcus “MJ” Daniels Jr., 21, was found unresponsive in his vehicle on Highway 49 in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, according to police. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Hattiesburg police are investigating the death and urged anyone with information on the incident to come forward.
“Our hearts and prayers go out to the Daniels family,” Hattiesburg Police Chief Hardy Sims said in a statement on Wednesday. “We are doing all that we can to locate the perpetrators to bring justice to the victim and his family.”
Daniels, of Lucedale, Mississippi, played his first season at Southern Miss in the fall, after transferring from the University of Mississippi his junior year.
“The University of Southern Mississippi and the Department of Athletics mourn the loss of M.J. Daniels whose life was lost Tuesday evening during an incident that occurred off campus,” the school said in a statement. “We send our sincere condolences to his family, friends and teammates during this difficult time.”

Counseling services have been made available to members of the Golden Eagle football program and those close to the university, the school said.
Police said they are working closely with the university and local officials amid the investigation.
A cash reward is being offered for information leading to felony arrests, police said.
(WASHINGTON) — The Federal Reserve decided to hold its benchmark interest rate steady on Wednesday, prolonging an aggressive fight against inflation despite fresh data hours earlier that showed a slight cooldown of price increases.
At seven consecutive meetings spanning nearly a year, the Fed has opted to hold rates steady in response to elevated inflation and robust economic performance.
In theory, the prolonged stretch of high interest rates should weigh on economic activity, reduce consumer demand and cut prices. Instead, a resilient economy and stubborn inflation have largely defied the Fed’s efforts.
Inflation has fallen significantly from a peak of 9.1%, but price increases have barely budged in recent months and remain more than a percentage point higher than the Fed’s target rate of 2%.
The Fed has all but abandoned a previous forecast of three interest rate cuts by the end of the year.
The Federal Open Market Committee, the Fed’s decision-making body on interest rates, said last month that it does not anticipate cutting interest rates until it regains confidence that inflation is moving sustainably downward.
“So far, the data has not given us that greater confidence,” Fed Chair Jerome Powell said at a press conference in Washington, D.C., last month. “It is likely that gaining such greater confidence will take longer than previously expected.”
Some observers expect the Fed to forgo interest rate cuts for the remainder of 2024.
Roger Aliaga-Diaz, chief economist at the investment giant Vanguard, said in a statement to ABC News before the rate announcement that he believed the Fed would keep interest rates at current levels for at least the next six months.
The forecast, Aliaga-Diaz added, owes to “inadequate progress in the inflation fight and continued growth and labor momentum.”
In a note to clients, Deutsche Bank echoed skepticism about rate cuts anytime soon. “Fed officials have clearly signaled that they are in a wait-and-see mode with respect to the timing and magnitude of rate cuts,” the note said.
The Fed risks a rebound of inflation if it cuts interest rates too quickly, since stronger consumer demand on top of solid economic activity could lead to an acceleration of price increases.
A prolonged period of high interest rates, however, threatens to place downward pressure on economic growth and plunge the U.S. into a recession.
A jobs report released on Friday blew past economist expectations, demonstrating the resilient strength of the economy. Blockbuster hiring in May exceeded the average number of jobs added each month over the previous year, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics said.
Average hourly wages surged 4.1% over the year ending in May, the report found. That rate of pay increase exceeds the pace of inflation, indicating that the spending power of workers has grown even as prices jump.
The data marks a boon for workers but could give pause to policymakers, since they fear that a rise in pay could prompt businesses to raise prices in order to cover the added labor cost.
Economic output slowed markedly at the outset of 2024, though it continued to grow at a solid pace.
While the Fed has resisted lowering interest rates, consumers have faced high borrowing costs for everything from mortgages to credit cards.
The average rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage stands at 6.99%, according to Freddie Mac data released last week.
When the Fed imposed its first rate hike of the current series in March 2022, the average 30-year fixed mortgage stood at just 3.85%, Freddie Mac data showed. Â
(WASHINGTON) — Marianne Williamson, an author and speaker who was President Joe Biden’s final Democratic opponent, said earlier this week that she is no longer a candidate for the party’s nomination now that 2024 presidential primaries have ended.
The presidential primary cycle concluded on Saturday with voters from Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands casting some of the last ballots. Williamson was on the ballot in most states and territories this election cycle, notwithstanding a brief suspension of her candidacy in February before shortly jumping back into the race.
She did not earn any Democratic delegates, but acted as an alternative for voters opposed to Biden in some places where “uncommitted” or write-in options were not available.
“Now that the primaries are complete, I’m no longer a candidate for the Democratic nomination for president. Deep thanks to all my donors, volunteers and supporters who stood for the radically humanitarian agenda that was the core of my campaign,” Williamson wrote in a post on X on Tuesday.
In March, Williamson told ABC News that she was back in the race with a focus not on defeating Biden electorally, but on bringing progressive ideas and discussions about them to the campaign trail.
“We articulated an analysis of our history as well as a regenerative path forward that I believe in my heart is the most powerful antidote to authoritarianism and national decline. I hope our message will continue to resonate and impact our political conversation for many years to come. With deep appreciation to all,” she wrote in the post on Tuesday.
Williamson — who also ran for president in 2020 — was the first Democrat to enter the 2024 presidential cycle. She announced her bid at Union Station in Washington, D.C., on Feb. 26, 2023. Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips and progressive commentator Cenk Uygur were also Biden challengers in the primary race this cycle, but suspended their bids several months ago.
Williamson’s signature 2024 proposals were not unlike the platforms she ran on in 2020: an overhauled economic system with the institution of an economic Bill of Rights, the creation of a Department of Peace, a Department of Children and Youth and a focus on housing, drug and crime policy reform, among other platforms.
“The status quo, ladies and gentlemen and everyone else, will not disrupt itself,” Williamson said as she announced her candidacy. “It is our job to create a vision of justice and love that is so powerful that it will override the forces of hatred and injustice and fear.”
She was distinct in the 2024 cycle in that she’d emerged as a promising alternative for some Democrats disillusioned with Biden’s stance on the Israel-Hamas war, especially in places where an “uncommitted” option wasn’t available on the ballot — considered a protest vote against Biden, who hasn’t achieved a cease-fire in Gaza. In Arizona, for example, there was a concerted push for voters to select Williamson in the absence of a more direct cease-fire ballot option.
Williamson suspended her campaign on Feb. 7 following a string of significant primary losses in early states. She said she didn’t have the resources to continue — however, she wasn’t yet ready to abandon her candidacy. Now, she said she’ll “continue in every way possible” to advocate for Americans who she was running for.
“Having been on the ground for the last year and a half talking to voters, I have seen what people go through; our political elites and talking heads are in a bubble and it shows. I will continue in every way possible to be a voice for Americans whose hardships are too little addressed in this country, the adequate response to which remains the key to our winning in November,” Williamson said in a statement to ABC News.
“The primary is over, but what is not over is the need for a more fair economy — for universal healthcare, a guaranteed living wage, an Economic Bill of Rights, a US Department of Peace, subsidized child care, and a society where humans can more easily thrive,” she said.
(NEW YORK) — A New York City protest tied to the war in Gaza prompted a large police response early Wednesday and the closure of a block on the city’s Upper East Side, where the Palestinian Mission to the United Nations was vandalized and demonstrators littered the street with leaflets smeared with red paint and encouraging the intifada, according to police.
Other vandalism incidents suspected to be linked to the protest were discovered in four other areas of the city overnight, including at the homes of the Jewish director of the Brooklyn Museum and several of the museum’s board members, officials said.
“The cowards who did this are way over the line into antisemitism, harming the cause they claim to care about, and making everyone less safe,” New York City Comptroller Brad Lander said in a post on X accompanied by photos of red paint smeared on the doors and windows of the home of Brooklyn Museum Director Anne Pasternak.
According to Lander’s photos, protesters also unfurled a sign at the museum director’s home, which read, “Anne Pasternak Brooklyn Museum white supremacist Zionist.”
“While no one deserves this, worth noting that few museums have done more to grapple w/hard questions of power, colonialism, racism & the role of art,” Lander also wrote in his post.
An inverted red triangle was also painted on Pasternak’s door, a symbol that has been used by Hamas to mark Israeli military targets and which has also been seen recently at some university protests.
“We are deeply troubled by these horrible acts,” a spokesperson for the Brooklyn Museum said.
New York City Councilman Lincoln Restler also posted on X, calling the vandalism “disgusting & horrible.”
“This anti-Semitic incident is despicable,” Restler wrote, adding that the NYPD is reviewing security video of the vandalism to identify those responsible.
No arrests connected to the protests and vandalism have been announced.
Numerous police officers responded to the Palestinian Mission to the United Nations on 65th Street in New York around 6 a.m. to investigate reports of vandalism, officials said.
When officers arrived, they found the street littered with pamphlets covered in red paint, apparently signifying blood, and accusing the Palestinian Authority of not representing the Palestinian people and being too close to Israel and the United States. The pro-Hamas leaflets also read, “Long live the intifada,” using the Arabic term for the Palestinian uprising against Israel.
Witnesses told ABC New York station WABC that about 15 demonstrators showed up in a U-Haul truck outside the Palestinian Mission around the time of the vandalism and began protesting. Witnesses said the roughly 15 demonstrators were briefly at the scene before piling back into the U-Haul truck and leaving.
The overnight demonstrations and vandalism came a day after a large protest against the war in Gaza was held outside a new exhibit in lower Manhattan honoring the 364 concertgoers killed at the Nova Festival in Israel during the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas terrorists. Hundreds of protesters waved Palestinian and Hamas military flags and the flag of Hezbollah, the Lebanese militant group that has vowed to destroy Israel.
Some protesters even tried to storm the doors of the exhibit as relatives of those killed at the Nova Festival were touring the displays, which featured photos of loved ones murdered by Hamas.
The protest angered New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who attended the exhibit and condemned the protest as “not a representation of our city.”
“Our Constitution and our way of life in our city permits free speech and part of that free speech that is protected is some of the ugly things we heard,” Adams said. “We have also the right to say, ‘This is not who we are as a city,’ and I’m exercising that right, right now.”
Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York also condemned the protest at the Nova Festival exhibit in a speech Tuesday on the Senate Floor.
“How repugnant! How despicable!” Schumer said. “How terribly unnerving that humanity could sink that low.”
(WASHINGTON) — President Joe Biden and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will sign a bilateral security agreement at the G7 summit Thursday that will pledge long-term defense and security cooperation.
“We want to demonstrate that the U.S. supports the people of Ukraine, that we stand with them, and that we’ll continue to help address their security needs, not just tomorrow but out into the future,” national security adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters aboard Air Force on his way to the G7 summit site of Bari, Italy. “We’ll be sending Russia a signal of our resolve.”
A U.S. official tells me this is an “executive agreement,” which means a future president could withdraw from it.
The possibility of a second Donald Trump presidency looms large over the summit — Trump has not made clear whether he would continue to support Ukraine and has said he’d “encourage” Russia to attack NATO allies who don’t contribute enough towards defense spending.
The official told me negotiations on this bilateral agreement started last fall, but the U.S. was not able to complete negotiations while waiting for Congress to pass the supplemental funding for Ukraine. Once that was passed, negotiations were accelerated.
The agreement states that the U.S. intends to work with Congress over the coming months to find a path to sustainable resources for Ukraine.
The agreement does not include any commitment to use U.S. forces to defend Ukraine. It will outline a vision of how the U.S. and its allies will work with Ukraine to strengthen its defenses and deter future aggression from Russia.
The pledge will be similar to bilateral agreements that Ukraine has already signed with more than a dozen other countries.
“If Vladimir Putin thinks he can outlast the coalition supporting Ukraine, he’s wrong,” Sullivan added. “He cannot just wait us out.”
Zelenskyy and Biden will meet Thursday on the sidelines of the G7 and will hold a joint news conference. Â

(WASHINGTON) — President Joe Biden’s key priority at the G7 summit in Italy this week is to solidify an agreement that could provide some $50 billion to Ukraine using profits from frozen Russian assets, according to a source familiar with the matter.
The U.S. argues this is a solution to relieve Ukraine’s desperate battlefield situation using Russian funds instead of taxpayer dollars. Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky will attend the summit to personally drive home the urgency.
Biden is also expected to meet with Zelensky this week — their second meeting in a week after their sit down in Paris.
Yet, the seven member countries have not reached a consensus. They will be negotiating the details during the summit, aiming to announce the agreement in the G7 communique at the end of the summit this week, the source added.
This plan to finance Ukraine would send a powerful message to Russia’s Vladimir Putin that he will not outlast the U.S. and its allies’ support for Ukraine, regardless of how elections in their countries unfold, according to the source.
But the G7 nations have to hammer out tricky details, including how disbursement would work and what the repayment assurances would be, the source said. European countries also have differing views on utilizing these profits, with some preferring direct spending on weapons. There are also complicated legal issues and concerns about who would back the loan.
Israel/Hamas war
This is the first G7 summit since the Hamas Oct. 7 attack on Israel. While there have been divisions among member countries over the war, the countries have now unified around President Biden’s plan for a cease-fire. Earlier this month, G7 leaders released a joint statement formally endorsing Biden’s plan and calling on Hamas to accept it.
China
Another key area of discussion among leaders is countering China’s trade practices and overcapacity. According to the source, the G7 nations agree that China’s excess industrial capacity poses a global problem.
The fear is that a flood of heavily subsidized products from China — including steel, machinery, solar products, electric vehicles, and batters — would decimate those industries in the U.S. and other countries. Last month, President Biden significantly increased tariffs on Chinese imports in strategic sectors, while leaving in place tariffs on more than $300 billion worth of Chinese goods that Trump had imposed.
Pope Francis, AI
Pope Francis will attend the summit to speak about artificial intelligence, another top priority at the G7. Francis has called for an international treaty to ensure AI is developed and used ethically.
(NEW YORK) — Last year, U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy declared a national loneliness and social isolation epidemic throughout the country.
He warned that about half of U.S. adults are experiencing considerable levels of loneliness, which can affect physical, mental and societal health
To mark Loneliness Awareness Week from June 10 to June 16, Murthy spoke to ABC News stations across the U.S. about the causes and solutions for combating feelings of isolation:
How do you define loneliness?
Loneliness is like hunger or thirst. It’s a feeling that we experience when something we’re lacking for survival is missing from our life. And if we respond to it, relatively quickly, it may go away. But just like hunger or thirst, it’s when it persists for a long period of time, when we’re not able to figure out how to address it, that is when we start to worry.
Loneliness is a subjective feeling — that the connections that we need in our life are greater than the connections we actually have.
Is it normal to experience loneliness occasionally?
We all may feel temporarily lonely from time to time. If I go on a trip, for example, without my wife and my two kids, I may miss them, and I may feel lonely if I don’t really know anyone in the work trip that I’m going on. But if I come home, then I may feel better because I reconnect with them.
Similarly, if I have a best friend who moves away to a new city and I no longer have that person in my life, I might feel lonely for a period of time. Those kinds of temporary bouts of loneliness are quite normal.
How many Americans are experiencing loneliness?
One in two adults in America are living with measurable levels of loneliness, but the numbers are even higher among young people.
So, this is an incredibly common challenge that we’re facing.
What is contributing to the loneliness epidemic?
I think there are a number of factors that are contributing to our loneliness.
Today, we tend to get together less for dinners with friends or with neighbors. We also have more of our time siphoned off by social media and online interactions, which can be helpful in some ways, but can be taking time away from the in-person interactions we used to have.
Even though there’s a lot of great benefits to technology, what we see is that the ability to get everything delivered to us where we are means that we also just encounter people less often in the grocery store, in the retail store, or in our neighborhoods.
This is an epidemic of loneliness and isolation that has been building for years. But the pandemic did make it worse.
The lingering effects of being separated from one another are still with us. But there are factors bigger than the pandemic. I think it’s really important for us to keep in mind too, that for nearly half a century, we’ve seen declining participation in the organizations that used to bring us together, like recreational leagues and service organizations and faith organizations.
How does loneliness impact health?
We know now that when people struggle with things socially disconnected, over time, that it can have an impact on their mental health, increasing their risk for anxiety and depression, but also in their physical health, increasing their risk for heart disease, as well as dementia and premature death.
It also turns out that if we can invest in social connection, and building our relationships with one another, that can help us be healthy in the long run and can also make us feel good in the short term.
The overall mortality impact of loneliness and isolation are on par with smoking daily, and they’re even greater than the mortality impact we see with obesity.
Have you experienced loneliness yourself?
I’ve struggled with loneliness as a child and many times as an adult.
The simple act of picking up the phone to call a friend to check on them…the act of picking up the phone when somebody else calls, even if you don’t have a lot of time just to say, “Hey, it’s great to hear your voice, is it okay if I call you back later today?” These small acts make a really big difference in how we feel.
Is it better to connect in person or over technology?
The most effective way for us to connect with another human being is still in-person. If we can’t have an in-person connection, even calling someone on the phone or video conferencing with them, so you can hear their voice and even see them — that can also be very powerful.
The more you’re able to get closer to that in-person interaction — the more powerful it is. It doesn’t have to be a lot of time; a couple of minutes spent in person with somebody can be more powerful than a half an hour spent in distracted conversation, texting back and forth.
How can we combat loneliness?
Even just spending a few minutes each day, reaching out to people we care about can make a real big difference in how connected we feel.
It doesn’t take massive transformations in your life; it can start with small steps that you take. For example, spending 15 minutes a day just to reach out to someone in your life, just to check on them to see how they’re doing. It could be an old friend, it could be a new friend, it could be a family member, it could be a work colleague.
“It involves taking one active connection each day for the next five days,” he said. “That could be expressing gratitude to someone, it could be calling a friend to extend help to them at a time when they’re struggling, or it could be asking for help yourself. But doing this over five days will make you feel different. And my hope is that that will be a jumping off point to help people build these kinds of practices into their life for the long term.”
(NEW YORK) — The driver of an 18-wheeler tractor-trailer is lucky to be alive after he narrowly escaped a massive collision with an oncoming train outside Atlanta this week.
The incident, which was captured on video, happened early Tuesday morning off Allatoona Road near Interstate 75 in Bartow County, Georgia.
Zack Hatcher was right behind the tractor-trailer that had stalled on train tracks and first shared the video with ABC Atlanta station WSB-TV.
In his video, the blaring of train horns can be heard as the railroad crossing arms lower and a man is seen hopping out of the driver’s side of the truck, making a run for it moments before the train made impact.
Debris flies as the trailer tumbles over, and Hatcher, who was not too far from the incident, has to back up his own car to avoid being hit.
The train eventually comes to a stop and Hatcher climbs between two of the train cars to go check on the truck driver, who appears miraculously unharmed.
“The engineer and conductor both stated that they could see the truck stopped on the tracks — they started breaking as soon as they saw the truck, but they were not able to stop in time,” Capt. Lisa Fuller of the City of Emerson Police Department told ABC News.
Authorities said this marks the eighth documented incident at this same train crossing since 2017, but the first collision, and the driver left with a citation for driving a vehicle over a railroad crossing with insufficient space to drive completely through the crossing without stopping.
“There were no injuries — thankfully,” Fuller confirmed. “There’s been incidents before where the the drivers weren’t able to get out of the vehicles.”
Authorities said other trucks have stalled at that same location in the past, due to the turning radius near the tracks. Some trucks cannot clear it, but none have gotten stuck on the tracks before this accident, they said.
Roadside service provider AAA shared some additional tips for drivers near train crossings:
– Slow down when crossing train tracks. – Never stop on the train tracks or between the down gate and tracks. – Ensure there is room on the other side of the tracks before crossing. – Obey all signals, lights, bells and gates. – Do not drive around a gate that is down. – Be aware of your surroundings. – Listen for trains, train whistles and warning bells. – Look for trains, stopped vehicles, lowered gates and warning lights. – Avoid distractions when driving.
(NEW YORK) — A woman is speaking out after sinking into quicksand along the Maine coast.
Jamie Acord said she was walking with her husband near the water on a Maine beach when she suddenly sank up to her hips and found herself trapped waist deep in sand.
“We were probably 10 feet from the sand dunes and I just dropped into the ground,” Jamie Acord recalled to ABC News’ Good Morning America.
Jamie Acord’s husband Patrick Acord said he noticed her legs were suddenly out of sight.
“I was right beside her and she dropped down, like a couple feet back,” Patrick Acord said.
Patrick Acord was able to pull his wife out of the sand quickly.
“I was just covered in mud and we turned around and looked back and there was no hole,” Jamie Acord said. “And so it was one of those moments where it’s like, did that really happen?”
Jamie Acord’s quicksand encounter isn’t isolated. Others on social media have posted about how quickly a quicksand experience can unfold.
Experts say quicksand — super saturated sand or sand that has become nearly liquified with water — is common around the world.
“Anywhere you’re adjacent to a water body, there’s a chance you could potentially have it,” explained Peter Slovinsky, a marine geologist with the Maine Geological Survey. “Most of the time you would encounter quicksand is in areas of the beach that are kind of below the high tide line.”
Experts say one should stay calm if they find themselves in a quicksand situation.
“You are more buoyant than quicksand,” Slovinsky said. “You’re not going to sink down into it over your head. If you walk into it and kind of get stuck, there’s a good chance you’re going to be getting out of it.”
(WASHINGTON) — House Republicans on Wednesday plan to hold a full chamber vote on holding Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress for refusing to turn over audio of President Joe Biden’s interview with special counsel Robert Hur on his handling of classified documents.
The Rules Committee met Tuesday afternoon to mark up the contempt resolution and advanced the measure in a 9-4 vote.
According to the latest schedule from Majority Leader Steve Scalise, the House will be holding the Garland contempt vote on Wednesday.
The vote had been in limbo since two House committees — Oversight and Judiciary — voted along party-lines last month to advance a report recommending that Garland be held in contempt.
But it is not clear if Republicans have enough support to clear the measure with their razor-thin majority. Regardless, GOP leadership is plowing ahead this week with a vote in which House Speaker Mike Johnson can afford only two defections if all members are voting and present.
Republicans met for a conference meeting on Wednesday morning to discuss the issue.
“We are going to talk about it right now. It is real important we get it done,” Scalise said.
House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, when asked if he was confident a Garland contempt vote would pass, said, “We are going to have a vote today. That’s for sure.”
Speaker Johnson, leaving the Capitol on Tuesday evening, told reporters he “thinks” it will pass.
While the Department of Justice has made a transcript of Hur’s interview with Biden available to the GOP-led committees, House Republicans argue the audio tapes are necessary to their investigation into the president.
“The purpose of getting the audio tapes of the Biden interview is because the committees have to do their legislation work. They use the audio to evaluate the work and the accuracy of the special counsel. We have the transcript; there should be no surprises here,” Johnson said at a news conference last month.
Before the Judiciary committee last week, Garland continued to defend his decision to not turn over audio tapes of the interview, over which President Biden assert executive privilege.
“I will not be intimidated. And the Justice Department will not be intimidated. We will continue to do our jobs free from political influence. And we will not back down from defending our democracy,” Garland said at the hearing.
The resolution, if passed, would direct the speaker of the House to refer the case to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia for possible criminal prosecution.
In the past, Congress has held Cabinet officials in contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a House subpoena, including Attorney General William Barr and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross in 2019 and then-Attorney General Eric Holder in 2012.
Congress held Peter Navarro, a former top trade adviser in the Trump administration, in contempt of Congress in 2022 for defying records and testimony to the now defunct House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Navarro was recently sentenced to four months behind bars.
Steve Bannon, a Trump ally who was also held in contempt of Congress in 2022 for not complying with the Jan. 6 select committee, has been ordered to report to jail on July 1.
