LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — A monster storm system tore through the South and Midwest on Friday, spawning deadly weather including tornadoes that shredded homes and shopping centers in Arkansas, collapsed a theater roof during a heavy metal concert in Illinois and made a fatal sweep into rural Indiana.

The storm caused three deaths in Sullivan County, Indiana, Emergency Management Director Jim Pirtle said in an email to The Associated Press early Saturday. The storm damaged homes and some residents were missing in the county seat of Sullivan, located near the Illinois state line about 95 miles (152 kilometers) southwest of Indianapolis.

At least one person was killed and more than two dozen were hurt, some critically, in the Little Rock area, authorities said.

The town of Wynne in northeastern Arkansas was also devastated, and officials reported two dead there, along with destroyed homes and people trapped in the debris.

Florida attorney general takes action against Antifa, activists who vandalize pregnancy centers

“Criminal organizations sought to silence and intimidate crisis pregnancy centers’ workers and clients nationwide by vandalizing or even setting fire to their buildings,” Moody said.

Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody sued two members of Antifa and Jane’s Revenge over accusations they vandalized Florida crisis pregnancy centers last year.

After the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision was leaked in the landmark abortion case, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, pro-abortion activists and members of “criminal organizations sought to silence and intimidate crisis pregnancy centers’ workers and clients nationwide by vandalizing or even setting fire to their buildings,” Moody said.

Two of their members, Caleb Hunter Freestone of Miami, and Amber Marie Smith-Stewart, of Ocoee, participated in at least three attacks against Florida crisis pregnancy centers, the complaint states. Moody is suing them, arguing they violated the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act.

The law subjects alleged offenders to civil and criminal penalties who “by force or threat of force . . . intentionally . . . intimidates or interferes with or attempts to . . . intimidate or interfere with any person because that person is or has been . . . providing reproductive health services” or who “intentionally damages or destroys the property of a facility, or attempts to do so, because such facility provides reproductive health services.”
