Suspect, two victims shot dead in casino complex near Green Bay

 

Three people died, including the gunman, and another person was seriously injured in a shooting at a casino complex run by the Oneida Indian Nation near Green Bay, Wis., on Saturday night. About 7:30 p.m. CDT, the Brown County Sheriff's Office said authorities responded to reports of an active shooter at the Duck Creek Restaurant inside the Oneida Casino/Radisson Hotel & Conference Center in Ashwaubenon. The Oneida Nation of Wisconsin, which has its own police department, developed the the complex on its property on the western side of the Green Bay area. It is described on its website as the state's premier gaming entertainment destination. The suspect had ties to the Oneida casino, Brown County Lt. Kevin Pawlak said at a news conference just after midnight, adding "it appears there's some relationship that had to do with employment." "He was targeting a specific victim who was not there, but he decided to still shoot some of the victim's friends or co-workers, it appears," Pawlak said.

 

Law enforcement officials killed the suspect outside the restaurant. The wounded person was transported at a Milwaukee hospital, which is about 120 miles south of Gren Bay, Pawlak said. The Irene Moore Activity Center and all casinos will remain closed until further notice, Oneida Casino posted on it website. Robert Hesson, who was attending a friend's birthday party in a banquet room, told the Green Bay Press-Gazette that staff rushed in and screamed at them to get out. At the time he didn't hear shot but later he herd them in the parking lot. "I know no place is immune to this, but now it's hit home," Hesson said. "It's sad and it's disgusting, all at the same time," he said. Max Westphal, who was playing blackjack with a group of friends, said was announcement came over a loudspeaker that people should evacuate. "All of a sudden a huge flurry of gunshots. Between 10 and 30 gunshots," Westphal told the newspaper. "All you could smell outside was gun powder."

 

The Oneida Police Department has requested the sheriff's office to investigate the double homicide and attempted homicides, and the Wisconsin Division of Criminal Investigation to investigate the officer-involved shooting of the suspect, according to a news release by the sheriff's office. The names of the suspect, victims and officers involved will not be released Sunday. Gov. Tony Evers posted on Twitter: "Kathy [his wife] and I were devastated to hear about the shooting at the Oneida Casino complex tonight. Our hearts, thoughts, and support go out to the Oneida Nation, the Ashwaubenon and Green Bay communities, and all those affected by this tragedy."

Study: Blood oxygenation helps patients with severe COVID-19

 

Blood oxygenation treatment helps patients hospitalized with severe COVID-19 recover, and without lingering side effects or complications, a study presented Friday during the American Association for Thoracic Surgery annual meeting found. Nearly 70% of patients treated with the approach, called extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, or ECMO, were discharged from the hospital, and more than 90% were recovering at home three months later, the data showed. In addition, just over 16% had returned to work and other daily activities three months after discharge. These percentages were similar to those found with mechanical ventilation, which uses an oxygen machine to maintain breathing in patients with lung-related illnesses, including COVID-19, they said.

 

This suggests that blood oxygenation may be useful in treating patients with severe illness from the virus in the hospital intensive care unit, or ICU, with no additional risk for long-term health complications compared with standard ventilation, according to the researchers. "ECMO support in patients with COVID-19 … was not associated with worse survival or long-term outcomes compared to other ICU survivors," study co-author Dr. Jessica Y. Rove told UPI in an email. This was true despite the fact that these patients had "a more complex critical illness course, longer average duration of mechanical ventilation and longer average length of stay," said Rove, an assistant professor of cardiothoracic surgery at the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Denver. Survivors of critical illness, including those with COVID-19, are at high risk for long-term physical, psychological and cognitive complications, some of which are brought on by the invasive measures used to treat them, Rove and her colleagues said.

 

In ECMO, a machine pumps the patient's blood out of the body, infuses it with oxygen and then pumps it back into the body, according to the American Association for Thoracic Surgery. The process allows the blood to maintain a healthy level of oxygen while allowing the heart and lungs to rest. It may be an alternative for patients hospitalized with severe COVID-19 who do not respond well to conventional mechanical ventilation or when ventilators are unavailable, researchers said. For this study, Rove and her colleagues compared health outcomes in 46 patients treated with ECMO to those of 262 mechanically ventilated patients who did not undergo the procedure. Nearly 70% of patients in both groups were discharged from the hospital, the data showed. Of the 215 survivors across both groups, 94% were residing at home three months later, while 16% had returned to work or usual daily activities. However, just over one in four of them were still using supplemental oxygen three months after discharge, according to the researchers. These rates did not differ significantly between the two groups, and rates of physical, psychological and cognitive complications were about the same as well, they said. "The cognitive, emotional and physical deficits seen in survivors of critical illness from COVID-19 can only be treated if diagnosed," Rove said. "Detrimental effects can potentially be ameliorated with use of best practices in the ICU," she said.

U.S. oil executives released from prison to house arrest in Venezuela

 

Five U.S. citizens and a Venezuelan citizen who had been serving prison time in Venezuela have been released to house arrest, according to lawyers for the men and a former U.S. governor. The group, collectively known as the Citgo 6 because they were executives of the U.S.-based Citgo refinery, was arrested in 2017 on corruption charges. They are accused of money laundering and embezzlement involving a $4 billion Citgo scheme that was never completed, and have been viewed as negotiating pawns in the increasingly tense relationship between the United States and Venezuela. Attorneys Maria Alejandra Poleo and Jesus Loreto told CNN the men were released from prison Friday in Caracas and were on their way home.

 

"We do not know what prompted this ruling from the court, but we take it as a political gesture of goodwill towards the United States," Poleo said. Former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson has acted as a non-government negotiator in favor of the men's release. "We are relieved to hear today that Tomeu Vadell, Alirio Zambrano, Jose Luis Zambrano, Gustavo Cárdenas, Jorge Toledo and Jose Pereira, known as the CITGO-6, have been released from prison and granted house arrest in Venezuela," said a statement from his organization, the Richardson Center. "This is a positive and important step that should help secure their wellbeing during the COVID-19 outbreak in Venezuela."

 

Family members of the men had previously said the men were held in inhumane conditions, sharing overcrowded basement cells in a military prison and suffering severe weight loss. The men had previously been on house arrest but were imprisoned in February 2020. Then-president Donald Trump's administration demanded their release in March 2020 and later sanctioned the Venezuelan judge and prosecutor in connection with the sentencing of the Citgo 6 the previous month.

Susan Wright advances to runoff in Texas House special election

 

Republican Susan Wright advanced to a runoff election to represent Texas' 6th Congressional district, media outlets projected Sunday. Wright emerged atop a field of 23 candidates seeking to fill the seat formerly held by her late husband, Rep. Ron Wright, as the election is set to go into a runoff as no reached the threshold of 50% of total votes needed to win outright, according to projections from Politico and NBC News. A runoff date hasn't been chosen for the district that serves three North Texas counties: Tarrant, Ellis and Navarro.

 

Wright was projected to win 19.2% of the vote, while GOP state Rep. Jake Ellzey with a projected 13.8% of the vote and Democrat Jana Lynne Sanchez with a projected 13.4% of the vote are locked in a tight race for the second-place spot. The total split of votes in the first round of voting saw 60% go to Republicans and 40% to Democrats as Democrats face the possibility of being shut out of the runoff, in the longtime GOP district covering portions of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.

 

Ron Wright, who was first elected to represent the district in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2018, died at the age of 67 on Feb. 7, due to complications related to COVID-19. He was diagnosed with the coronavirus a month before and had also been battling lung cancer. His widow, Susan Wright, emerged as the favorite to take over his seat and also received an endorsement from former President Donald Trump in the race last week. "Susan Wright will be a terrific Congresswoman (TX-06) for the Great State of Texas," Trump said in a statement. "She is the wife of the late Congressman Ron Wright, who has always been supportive of our America First Policies."
