A woman was killed by an alligator while swimming in a river in Florida, officials said.
The victim was in the Econlockhatchee River in Seminole County, just north of Orlando, on Sunday when she was attacked, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
She was taken to a hospital where she died from her injuries, the FWC said.
Efforts to trap the alligator are ongoing, authorites noted.
The FWC said it “extends its deepest sympathies to the family and loved ones of the victim during this difficult time.”
This attack comes two days after a 28-year-old man was killed by a crocodile on a popular beach in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

More details are leaking out about Taylor Swift’s wedding to Travis Kelce, which is allegedly taking place this weekend at New York’s Madison Square Garden.
A source has confirmed to Rolling Stone that Stevie Nicks will attend the wedding and is “expected to” perform. Page Six,meanwhile, says its been told that not only will Stevie perform, but so will Tim McGraw, the country superstar who inspired the title of Taylor’s very first single.
Page Six also says several other major country stars will be attending. One industry insider told the outlet, “I’ve heard Taylor invited so many people it’s going to be bigger than the Met Gala.”
The presence of both of the singers is no surprise, since Taylor has been friends with them for years, and has shared a stage with them in the past. In particular, Stevie wrote a poem for Taylor’s The Tortured Poets Society album, and Taylor namechecked Stevie in a song from that album, “Clara Bow.”
Taylor also told Stephen Colbert last year of Stevie, “I feel very lucky that she’s lent her very magical, wonderful, wise approach to life to me.” During the NBA Finals, Taylor wore a t-shirt that said, “Stevie Knicks,” in honor of the singer and the New York team.
Stevie told Rolling Stone in 2024 of Taylor and Travis, “I hope they fall deeper and deeper in love and ride off into the sunset … and get married and have babies if she wants that. I just want all of that for her.”
According to a New York Timesreport, Taylor and Travis will hold an intimate gathering on Thursday, followed by a massive party on Friday.
Neither Taylor nor Travis have confirmed any of this, and the entire thing may be a ruse to throw people off.

(WASHINGTON) — The Supreme Court has denied President Donald Trump’s appeal of the $5 million jury finding in the 2022 defamation case brought against him by the writer E. Jean Carroll.
The denial means the judgment against Trump stands and that he will have to pay it.
A New York jury in 2023 awarded Carroll $5 million in damages after it found Trump liable for sexually abusing her in the dressing room of a Bergdorf Goodman department store in Manhattan in the mid-1990s, and for defaming her in 2022 when he denied the allegations.
Trump asked the Supreme Court to intervene, arguing the judge in the case should not have allowed the jury to view an excerpt from the infamous “Access Hollywood” tape, in which Trump is heard describing lewd behavior that he downplayed as “locker room talk.”
Trump also faulted the trial judge for allowing testimony from two women — Jessica Leeds and Natasha Stoynoff — who claimed that Trump had sexually assaulted them, which Trump denies.
A federal appeals court said the evidence was properly admitted and, even if it wasn’t, there was no major harm to Trump.
“The petition does not challenge — indeed, does not mention — the Second Circuit’s holding that were there any error here, it did not prejudice petitioner,” Carroll’s attorney Roberta Kaplan argued.
Trump is also appealing a separate but related defamation judgment involving Carroll that ordered him to pay $83 million.

Bruce Springsteen kicked off the Born in the U.S. A. tour in St. Paul, Minnesota.
The tour featured the E Street Band debuts of guitarist Nils Lofgren, who replaced Stevie Van Zandt who left to record a solo album, and Springsteen’s future wife Patti Scialfa.
During opening night, director Brian De Palma shot the video for the Born in the U.S.A. single “Dancing in the Dark.” The performance clip ends with Springsteen pulling a fan onstage to dance with him. In reality, the woman, a then unknown actress named Courteney Cox, was placed in the front row so Bruce could pull her onstage to dance.
The video became a huge MTV hit and the song became Bruce’s biggest-ever single, spending four weeks at #1 and selling over a million copies.
Cox went on to become a huge star, thanks to the successful NBC series Friends, the Scream movie franchise and more.
The tour wrapped in October 1985, after hitting North America twice, Asia, Australia and Europe.

(NEW YORK) — Accused killer Luigi Mangione is due back in Manhattan federal court Monday after talks to resolve his case with a guilty plea stopped without a deal.
Mangione, who has pleaded not guilty to federal charges he stalked UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson before shooting and killing him in December 2024 in Midtown Manhattan, is scheduled to stand trial in federal court in early 2027.
Ahead of Monday’s hearing, defense attorneys and federal prosecutors discussed a possible plea deal, sources told ABC News, but the talks stopped without one. It’s not clear how close to a deal they came or whether they will try again. Criminal defendants can change their plea before or during trial.
On Monday, the parties are expected to discuss plans for a trial, including the questionnaire prospective jurors will complete before in-person voir dire questioning.
Mangione has also pleaded not guilty to state charges he murdered Thompson and is scheduled to stand trial in New York State Supreme Court in September.
Defense attorneys recently gave notice that they intended to mount a psychiatric defense to the state charges, arguing Mangione experienced an extreme emotional disturbance prior to shooting Thompson, but they quickly withdrew the notice before a deadline to turn over his psychiatric records.

(PUERTO VALLARTA, Mexico) — A 28-year-old man was killed in a crocodile attack on a popular beach in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, on Friday evening, according to state authorities.
The victim, who was from Mexico, was on the beach in front of the Marriott Puerto Vallarta Resort and Spa when he was allegedly attacked by the reptile and dragged out to sea, Jalisco State Police said in a statement on Sunday.
The incident happened around 6 p.m. local time, police noted.
The victim’s body was recovered Saturday morning about 300 meters offshore after an overnight search and rescue operation at sea and on land.
Local authorities are reminding the public to obey warning signs and avoid entering the water where wildlife is known to be present, particularly in estuary and mangrove areas.
“The safety and security of our guests and associates are our top priority,” the resort said in a statement to ABC News. “At the Marriott Puerto Vallarta we have appropriate signage, as well as night patrolling and red flags to indicate caution in the area and all were and are properly in place.”
The resort said it reviews its “plans and procedures often” and works “closely with the appropriate authorities on an ongoing basis and our staff is trained in how to respond to safety matters appropriately.”
“We extend our thoughts to the individual and their loved ones during this difficult time and are providing appropriate support in line with our policies,” the resort said.

(NEW YORK) — Alex Murdaugh is back in court on Monday for the first time since the South Carolina Supreme Court overturned his double murder conviction over “shocking jury interference.”
Newly assigned Judge Debra McCaslin is set to hold a status conference to determine a schedule for a new trial as well as resolve some evidentiary issues.
The status conference comes more than three years after a South Carolina jury found Murdaugh guilty of murdering his son and wife in a gruesome crime that captured global headlines.
The South Carolina Supreme Court threw out that conviction last month after concluding that a court clerk tainted the jury’s verdict by making comments to the jurors that “egregiously attacked Murdaugh’s credibility and his defense.”
“Both the State and Murdaugh’s defense skillfully presented their cases to the jury as the trial court deftly presided over this complicated and high-profile matter. However, their efforts were in vain because Colleton County Clerk of Court Rebecca Hill placed her fingers on the scales of justice, thereby denying Murdaugh his right to a fair trial by an impartial jury,” the ruling said.
Murdaugh has remained in prison since the ruling, as he is also serving out concurrent sentences for state and federal financial crimes, to which he pleaded guilty. While Murdaugh has acknowledged he lied and stole from his former clients, he has consistently maintained his innocence related to the 2021 double murder.
“Alex has said from day one that he did not kill his wife and son. We look forward to a new trial conducted consistent with the Constitution and the guidance this Court has provided,” Murdaugh’s lawyers said after the May ruling. His lawyers recently filed a civil lawsuit against Hill for allegedly violating his right to a fair trial.
South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson — who recently won the Republican primary for governor — has vowed to “aggressively” retry the murder case “as soon as possible.” Monday’s conference is likely to provide the first indications of how quickly the case might be retried.
Ahead of the conference, Murdaugh’s lawyers filed a series of motions to change the venue of the trial and access evidence in the case. They have argued that Murdaugh cannot have a fair trial in the countries where his family name has been “synonymous with the local legal system for nearly a century.”
“The basis for this motion is that this is among the most heavily publicized criminal prosecutions in the history of this State. For years Defendant, his family, and the law firm with which his family was associated for generations have been the subject of saturating, sensational, and continuous media coverage,” the motion said.
Murdaugh’s lawyers also filed motions to request access to DNA evidence in the case for independent lab testing, as well as enable Murdaugh to access a computer to review evidence from prison.
Prosecutors have not yet filed their response to those motions.
Police in Jackson, Mississippi, investigate a triple homicide on Saturday, June 28, 2026. (Jackson Police Department)
(JACKSON, Miss) — Police in Mississippi are searching for a suspect after two woman and a toddler were shot and killed on Saturday.
The women, aged 26 and 20, were found dead alongside a 2-year-old, Jackson Police Department Chief RaShall Brackney told reporters early on Sunday.
Police had responded to a call for an aggravated assault on the 300 block of Queen Alexandria Lane at about 10:10 p.m. on Saturday, Brackney said, adding, “And what they found was something horrifying.”
All three victims had “multiple” gunshot wounds, she said.
Police early on Sunday said they were searching for a Red Mitsubishi Mirage that “was taken.” Brackney did not say whether police had identified a suspect, but said that the person who had taken the vehicle was thought to be “armed and dangerous and is related to this triple homicide that we have here.”
In an update later on Sunday, police said they had found the vehicle in North Jackson, but it was “unoccupied at the time it was located.”
Jackson Mayor John Horhn said in a statement that the city would begin deploying additional resources to combat gun violence.
“Our city is hurting. In recent days, we have seen a troubling rise in gun-related violence, shootings, and senseless loss of life,” he said. “No family should have to face the pain of losing a loved one to violence. Violence against the innocent is intolerable, and as your Mayor, I will not accept this as the norm for our community.”
