[FoxNews] Jennifer Lackard and her son Chase Lackard face attempted murder, conspiracy and firearm charges
A New York police official is being accused of serving as the getaway driver for her son in an apparent gang shooting in New York City, the New York Post reported Tuesday.
Behold the fearsome gang banger who needs his Mama to hold his hand!
Police sources told the Post that Jennifer Lackard, a deputy police commissioner with the Mount Vernon Police Department, was arrested along with her son, Chase Lackard, 20, at their home Tuesday morning. Authorities said Chase was charged with shooting at rival gang members near the Bronx Criminal Court in late June.
So he was commuting to his gang?
Sources told the Post that Chase ran to his mother in her car after the shooting, and she sped off.
No one was injured in the shooting.
Both the mother and son have been charged with attempted murder, attempted assault, criminal possession of a firearm, conspiracy and reckless endangerment.
The Mount Vernon Police Department said Tuesday that Lackard had been terminated effectively immediately.
"The allegations are unrelated to her duties with the Mount Vernon Police Department and do not stem from any conduct associated with the Department or the performance of her official responsibilities," the department wrote on social media.
The incident was far from Chase's first run-in with law enforcement. He was shot by police in 2024 after allegedly wielding a gun during an argument.
He was also shot once before in 2023 by three other youths during a dispute on a bus. Chase is allegedly a member of the "Slutty Gang," according to the Post.
Must be some local thing.
It seems that when he was 17, the lad went up against two boys aged 10 and 12, and lost:
An alleged gang member who was shot by police in the Bronx yesterday is the son of a high-ranking Westchester County police official.

… a dispute on White Plains Road involving a firearm and saw the 19-year-old wielding a gun.
Lackard’s mom is Mount Vernon Police Deputy Commissioner Jennifer Lackard, sources told The Post. She has held that position since 2020.
It’s not the first time her son has been involved in gunplay. Lackard — who was 17 at the time — was also shot in the chest on the BX5 bus in Soundview
…somewhere in the Bronx…
last year after fighting with three other youngsters.
Lackard allegedly flashed gang signs at the boys, aged 10 and 12, as he started to get off the bus in January 2023.
He then asked them for their gang affiliation — and then allegedly tried to drag one of them off the bus. Two shots were fired and one struck Lackard’s chest.
Lackard was taken to Jacobi Hospital following Friday’s shooting for treatment. He remains in stable condition, cops said.
Ex-con dad plotted hit while in court: DA
The gangbanging son of a Westchester County police bigwig had a Bronx court date just minutes before he allegedly opened fire on a rival – with his cop mom and ex-con dad as getaway drivers, prosecutors said Wednesday.
Chase Lackard, 20, faced a judge on a 2024 gun rap just 20 minutes before the alleged June 29 drive-by gang shooting – with help from his mom, disgraced Mount Vernon Deputy Police Commissioner Jennifer Lackard, and drug-dealing dad James Lackard, according to prosecutors.
“He’s captured on cameras running into this courthouse,” Bronx Assistant District Attorney Keturah Ladd told the judge. “He had a court date and a court appearance on the third floor of this building.”
Also named in the Bronx indictment is her drug-dealing ex, James Lackard, who served 10 years in federal prison for peddling heroin in North Carolina — but remains on the lam.
According to sources and news reports, Jennifer Lackard co-founded and ran a North Carolina nonprofit with her ex-con hubby, which was shut down after James Lackard’s conviction.
Jennifer Lackard was arraigned on the indictment Tuesday, with bail set at $75,000.
Her troublemaking son already had two open gun possession cases on his rap sheet before the shooting, one in Manhattan and the Bronx case he was in court for before the June 29 shooting.
According to lohud.com, Lackard had a base salary of $125,000, but online payroll records show she took home $138,219 last year.

"Owen Lars Anderson, 37, lured a teenage girl from her Wisconsin home and held her in his Virginia home from June 26, 2022, until late May of this year. He allegedly barred the girl from school and physically and sexually abused her," the August 1 report reported.
They clarified that, according to the girl, the man threatened to kill her and her family if she tried to escape.
In May, the girl finally managed to call the police and report her abduction. She said she met Anderson online when she was only 12 years old. He listened to her complaints about her parents and assured her he wouldn't harm her. Then he began demanding nude photos from the girl and blackmailing her.
Police in Blacksburg, Virginia, said officers took the injured student to safety.
Anderson is currently in custody, facing 60 charges, including strangulation, kidnapping, and possession of child sexual abuse material.
A teenage girl who was found safe four years after she vanished from her Wisconsin home was abducted by a pedophile, police have revealed.
[Name Redacted], now 19, was rescued 730 miles away from home at a residence in Blacksburg, Virginia on May 23.
She had been abducted by Owen Lars Anderson on June 23, 2022 after she met up with him at a movie theatre in Chicago, Illinois, according to a criminal complaint obtained by the Daily Mail.
Anderson, now 37, and Walker met on Facebook when she was just 12 years old. The pair communicated for three years and when she was 15, he convinced her to meet him in person, authorities said.
He arranged for an Uber to pick her up from her family's Milwaukee home and take her to the movie theatre.
That's where police say he kidnapped her and disposed of her cell phone, as well as a burner phone he had previously gifted to her.
He had been holding her captive, and sexually and physically abusing her at his house in the small Virginian mountain town ever since, police alleged.
Anderson has been charged with kidnapping, child enticement and abduction of a child in Wisconsin. He is also facing 55 counts of child sexual abuse material possession in Montgomery County, Virginia, court records showed.
Blacksburg police were responding to a 911 call for an alleged domestic disturbance at Anderson's home on May 23, the criminal complaint said.
During the investigation into the incident, Walker revealed that she had been reported missing as a juvenile and was being held against her will.
She told police how Anderson lured her to the cinema with false promises of offering her a better life, the filing said.
She told Anderson about the struggles and alleged abuse she was facing in her family home and he convinced her to leave, police said.
The FBI has taken over the digital evidence in the case, officials told WDBJ.
Anderson was arraigned on the local charges at the Montgomery County Courthouse on Tuesday and is currently being held in Western Virginia Regional Jail without bond.
He is awaiting extradition to Wisconsin to face the charges filed there.
Officials told the news outlet that federal charges are also possible and that the charges in Montgomery County could possibly be absorbed in a federal case.
[NYPost] A suspect has been arrested on suspicion of intentionally igniting one of the catastrophic wildfires that have devastated Washington, leveling neighborhoods, destroying hundreds of homes and forcing tens of thousands to flee.
Authorities announced Monday 37-year-old Aaron Forrest Farinacci was taken into custody in connection with the rapidly spreading Old Trails Fire, one of several blazes near Spokane over the weekend, per the Associated Press.
The Spokane County Sheriff’s Office said Farinacci was booked on suspicion of arson and is being held on $1 million bond. It was not immediately known whether he had retained an attorney.
Investigators believe the Old Trails Fire was deliberately set after a witness told police they saw a man peering into a wooded area moments before smoke began rising.
Authorities said Farinacci was located less than a mile from the fire scene and allegedly had waterproof matches and a butane lighter in his possession when he was arrested.
The investigation remains ongoing, and officials said additional criminal charges could be filed. The arrest came as investigators also revealed Farinacci has a serious criminal history.
According to court records cited by local outlet NonStop Local, he was originally charged with first-degree murder in the 2010 killing of his father in Arizona.
That charge was later dismissed following a grand jury indictment, and in 2012 he pleaded guilty to manslaughter and aggravated assault.
The Old Trails Fire ignited Saturday and quickly became one of the most destructive fires in Washington history as powerful winds, drought conditions and extreme heat fueled explosive growth.
Together with several other major fires burning around Spokane, the blazes have destroyed at least 700 structures, scorched roughly 12.5 square miles and prompted evacuation orders affecting about 67,000 people.
Residents allowed back into some neighborhoods Monday were met with scenes of almost unimaginable destruction. Entire streets had been reduced to ash, with burned-out vehicles, twisted metal and collapsed homes stretching block after block. In many cases, only brick chimneys remained standing.
Officials said more than 1,000 firefighters from Washington and neighboring states have been deployed, with additional crews expected to arrive as firefighters battle several uncontained blazes across the region.
Authorities said calmer weather on Monday helped slow the fires, though hotter, drier conditions are forecast to return later this week.
Despite the widespread destruction, authorities said no deaths or major injuries had been reported.
The Spokane County Sheriff’s Office initially received nearly 300 reports of missing people following the chaotic evacuations, but by Monday evening all but 14 had been resolved. Officials believe the remaining reports are likely people who have simply not yet checked in with loved ones.
Washington’s entire congressional delegation has asked President Donald Trump to approve an expedited emergency declaration, warning that “hundreds of people have completely lost their homes and farms, and many are prohibited from returning to their homes or neighborhoods as crews continue to extinguish smoldering embers.”
The Old Trails Fire was among multiple fast-moving wildfires that erupted during what state officials have described as an unprecedented fire emergency.
Gov. Bob Ferguson declared a statewide wildfire emergency over the weekend as dangerous winds, severe drought and historically dry conditions combined to create explosive fire behavior across eastern Washington.

[Regnum] Several female cyclists are suspected of augmenting their breasts for an aerodynamic advantage. This was reported on August 3 by Wieler Flits. Increasing?? I’d need to see the physics calculations to believe that.
Representatives of several women's world cycling teams contacted the portal. They noted that their competitors use special pads in their bras. This alters the airflow around their bodies and reduces pressure on their hips. This gives them an advantage of up to a second per kilometer. The portal's representatives tested this hypothesis. They analyzed photographs of numerous athletes' breasts and found that they were highly likely to use bra modifications.
"The augmentation in one of these racers was done 'very well,' " the portal's researchers noted.
Several women's Tour de France teams have also appealed to the UCI jury to clearly define this rule. One possible solution would be to organize special breast examinations of the athletes before the start of the race.
Previously, Italian plastic surgeon Alessandro Littara enlarged the genitals of ski jumpers using hyaluronic acid. The doctor admitted in an interview with REN TV that some athletes reported disliked the way their penises "shrinked" after training. This caused embarrassment and discomfort in the locker room. Therefore, they requested a generous dose of hyaluronic acid injected directly into their genitals.

[Regnum] A bear attacked a jogger and his dog in a US park while they were jogging. This was reported on August 4 by The Cool Down.
A man and his dog were out for a morning jog on the Aspen Loop Trail in Henry Lake State Park in Idaho when they were suddenly attacked by a bear. The bear injured the man, but he was able to escape the scene and call for help. The man's dog was unharmed.
The victim was taken to the hospital and given medical assistance.
"Search teams surveyed the park's trails and surrounding areas from the ground and using a drone provided by the sheriff's office. They located the attack site but found no bears nearby," the report clarified.
Because the incident was unexpected and there were no signs of bears remaining in the area, officials said no further action was planned at this time.
Earlier in Canada, a woman chased away a bear that had attacked her with her piercing screams. The woman was walking her dog along a forested road when the bear suddenly appeared and began approaching. The dog attempted to chase the bear away, but during the initial attack, it became frightened and pressed itself against its owner. The woman, unfazed, began backing away from the bear, shouting at it to leave. When the grizzly attempted to charge or rear up, the woman lunged forward and shouted. Eventually, the bear retreated into the forest.

[USNI] FROM THE REPORT
The time has come for our annual release of our white paper, “Defense of Japan.”
Each year personnel from around the Ministry of Defense (MOD), including civilians and members of the Ground, Maritime, and Air Self-Defense Forces, are brought together to form a team and prepare the white paper over the course of approximately one year.
This year’s white paper outlines the security environment surrounding Japan and the initiatives undertaken by the MOD and the Japan Self-Defense Forces (JSDF), and attempts to provide clear explanations of key developments and topics regarding the progress made in reinforcing Japan’s defense capabilities.
Upon preparing the white paper, I have asked the white paper team to ensure that the activities of the MOD/JSDF are conveyed not only to experts and specialists in Japan and overseas, but also to the Japanese public at large. The team has brought expertise from across the entire MOD, exercised its creativity, and decided to take on new approaches such as creating videos and booklets to introduce the content of the white paper and make it more engaging to a wider audience.
As for the content of the white paper, the security environment surrounding Japan is as severe and complex as it has ever been since the end of World War II. Even in East Asia, the possibility of serious situations taking place that might shake the foundation of the stable postwar international order cannot be ruled out.
After the formulation of the current “Three Strategic Documents,” including the National Security Strategy, challenges to the free and open international order based on the rule of law have intensified. In the Indo-Pacific, not only are China and North Korea further strengthening their military capabilities, China-Russia and Russia-North Korea are also reinforcing their cooperation. Drawing lessons from Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, countries around the world are quickly preparing for “new ways of warfare,” such as mass employment of unmanned assets, as well as getting ready for prolonged conflicts, bringing accelerated changes to the security environment in a wide range of domains. This year’s white paper extensively covers developments related to these “new ways of warfare” and incorporates analyses by researchers from the National Institute for Defense Studies.
To resolutely defend the lives and peaceful livelihoods of Japanese nationals, Japan’s territorial land, waters, and airspace, as well as to protect every member of the JSDF who carries out these missions and their families, it is imperative that Japan further reinforce and transform its defense capabilities with a stronger sense of urgency and crisis than ever before. Based on this understanding, last fiscal year the Government of Japan brought forward the goal to achieve the defense budget level of 2% of GDP outlined in the current National Security Strategy. In the FY2026 budget, expenditures, inclusive of expenses related to the Special Action Committee on Okinawa (SACO) and the realignment of U.S. Forces in Japan, exceeded 9 trillion yen for the first time. Furthermore, the “Three Strategic Documents” will be revised ahead of schedule within this year. Also, shortly after assuming office, I have established the Promotion HQ for Transformation of Defense Capabilities within the MOD, where in-depth discussions are being held from a variety of perspectives.
At the same time, peace and stability in the region cannot be achieved by any country alone.
