1. America

Good evening and thank you for joining us. This is Diego Ocando on KMSC NEWS, We begin tonight with a tragic incident during a bird-hunting excursion that turned deadly. A young hunter lost his life after being shot in the face by a fellow member of his hunting party. Alexander Pena (Myself) on the ground has the details.

Thank you Diego It’s a somber scene here at the Bays Branch Wildlife Area in Iowa, where 26-year-old Seth Egelhoff from Illinois tragically lost his life earlier today. The incident occurred during a waterfowl hunting trip when a member of his hunting party accidentally shot him in the face. Authorities were quick to respond, arriving at the scene around 1 pm and rushed Egelhoff to a spot to be picked up by a medical helicopter. But the 26-year-old did not survive the journey and died en route. The law enforcement arm of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources is now investigating his death.

2. Science

Now we revisit a pivotal moment in scientific history. Four centuries ago, Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei faced persecution for proclaiming the truth – that the Earth is round. In a time when the heliocentric solar system was deemed heretical by the Catholic Church, Galileo’s observations through a telescope, revealing round planets and Earth’s rotation around the sun, led to his conviction for heresy in 1615.

Despite the controversy, Galileo’s assertions were eventually vindicated. Today, the science of geodesy confirms Earth’s rounded shape. NASA affirms that although our planet isn’t a perfect sphere due to forces like rotation, it is undeniably rounded.

3. Sports.

Megan Rapinoe tore her Achilles tendon in her final career match.

Rapinoe suffered the non-contact injury during an attempt to make a defensive play at the game, marking the end of her illustrious career.

The incident occurred in the sixth minute as OL Reign faced defeat against Gotham FC in the National Women’s Soccer League Championship. Despite the Reign’s efforts to level the score, they fell short, trailing 2-1 by the end of the match.

Her impact transcends sports, marked by advocacy for Black Lives Matter, coming out as a lesbian in 2012, and defending patriotism amid controversies. Now retired, Rapinoe leaves a legacy as a complex and outspoken advocate.
