High school athlete paralyzed after trying to save pal during late-night brawl that ended in gunfire: report

Published

on

A Texas high school student and athlete was left permanently paralyzed after being shot while running to his friend’s rescue during a violent brawl earlier this month. 

The incident unfolded around 12:40 a.m. on March 19, when authorities were called to a Waffle House parking lot in Richardson regarding reports of a large fight and a shooting, according to FOX 4. 

When police arrived, they found one individual suffering from a gunshot wound, and took the victim to a hospital in stable condition. 

The individual was later identified as 18-year-old Seth Jackson, a senior at Richardson High School, FOX 4 reported.

​​”Nobody calls in the middle of the night with good news,” Jackson’s father, James Jackson, told the outlet. 

Jackson reportedly became involved in the brawl after witnessing his friend being attacked. 

“He saw five guys jump on his friend, so out of knee-jerk reaction he kind of headed over there,” James Jackson told FOX 4. “So he just headed over there and never made it within 10–15 feet.”

Video obtained by FOX 4 does not show Jackson anywhere near the alleged gunman as he approaches the group involved in the brawl.

The shooting left Jackson paralyzed from the waist down, with a ruptured lung, fractured ribs and a shattered spinal cord, according to the outlet.

Shortly after the incident, two individuals were taken into custody stemming from their alleged roles in the tragic fight.

Taylor Griffin, 18, and Charles Webster, 17, were both arrested and charged with engaging in organized criminal activity, according to FOX 4.

Authorities believe Griffin and Webster were involved in the events leading up to and immediately following the shooting, which allegedly escalated due to a conflict between both groups, according to FOX 4.

Prior to his injury, Jackson worked two jobs and played for the Richardson High School basketball team.

He had also already received his acceptance to the University of Houston and signed a lease for an apartment in the fall, Jackson’s father told FOX 4.

Teacher of the Year finalist gets 14 years for sexual relationship with student she kept contacting

Published

on

A former Colorado teacher and a 2025 state Teacher of the Year finalist was sentenced to 14 years in prison after authorities say she engaged in a sexual relationship with a student and reportedly continued contacting him after being criminally charged.

Tera Johnson-Swartz, a 45-year-old writer and former STEM School Highlands Ranch educator, pleaded guilty to one count of sexual exploitation of a child and one count of cybercrime, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office announced on March 19. Officials indicated that the cybercrime charge stemmed from her continued contact with the student. 

The former teacher was accused of having a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old, which was discovered around January 2025 when the student’s parents found texts containing sexually explicit content, according to The Denver Post. 

Johnson-Swartz, who had been recognized as one of seven finalists for Colorado’s Teacher of the Year just five months before the investigation, was ultimately charged in two separate cases. The first stemmed from a grand jury probe into the relationship in early 2025 and the second tied to her continued contact with the student. 

NEW JERSEY TEACHER WHO SLEPT WITH STUDENTS AT FAMILY BAGEL SHOP LEARNS PRISON SENTENCE

Documents show the relationship started with texting but quickly escalated, with Johnson-Swartz giving the student cigarettes, letting him use her marijuana vape pen, and eventually engaging in a physical relationship, the local outlet reported.

She was reportedly suspended from the school once the allegations surfaced and was later fired and banned from campus.

Less than a month later, the involved student was caught on camera leaving campus and getting into a car that matched Johnson-Swartz’s vehicle, according to CBS. The teen reportedly admitted to investigators that his former teacher had picked him up and driven him to a nearby neighborhood.

The incident sparked an investigation, and in February 2025, detectives with the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Special Victims Unit arrested Johnson-Swartz on charges of kidnapping and contributing to the delinquency of a minor in connection with an inappropriate relationship with a student.

WEST VIRGINIA TEACHER FIRED AFTER ARREST ON CHILD SEX ABUSE CHARGE

Johnson-Swartz secured a $100,000 bond with the assistance of a professional bondsman and was released the following day, the outlet said. 

However, over the Fourth of July weekend that year, authorities were alerted by the student’s parents, who reported that the two were still in contact, according to CBS.

The two reportedly encountered one another for two consecutive nights and Johnson-Swartz began calling and texting in the days that followed.

Johnson-Swartz was arrested again. In addition to her prison sentence, she was reportedly ordered to complete six years of sex offender probation after her release, which includes registering as a convicted sex offender.

Shedeur Sanders ditches rookie number as Browns announce change heading into 2026 season

Published

on

Shedeur Sanders is making a jersey change heading into his sophomore NFL season, and he’s going back to his Colorado roots. 

Sanders, who wore No. 12 during his rookie season, will wear No. 2 next year for the Cleveland Browns

As the Browns made it official on social media, Sanders did so as well, writing “#2” on X to coincide with his squad. 

CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM

The move comes after wide receiver DeAndre Carter, who wore the number for Cleveland last season, is no longer on the roster. Now that he has a year under his belt, Sanders can make the change. 

And he does so with his old college number, as Sanders wore No. 2 at Jackson State University before transferring to Colorado, as his father, Deion Sanders, took the head coach role with the Buffaloes. 

SHEDEUR SANDERS’ WILD 2025 BEGAN WITH DRAFT FALL, BUT IT’S ENDING WITH HOPE AFTER TUMULTUOUS TURNS

While he was wearing No. 12 last season, Sanders started the year in a depth role, as veteran Joe Flacco was Kevin Stefanski’s starting quarterback. But, when Flacco was traded to the Cincinnati Bengals following Joe Burrow’s injury, Dillon Gabriel, who was drafted two rounds before Sanders in a shocking NFL Draft for the Buffaloes product, took over the role. 

He would be Gabriel’s backup, but after the latter’s struggles and injury, it was Sanders’ time to step up. 

Sanders won his first-ever start against the Las Vegas Raiders and went 3-4 across seven starts as he remained the starter for the remainder of the season. Since then, Stefanski was fired; head coach Todd Monken was hired, and the veteran coach who served as John Harbaugh’s offensive coordinator with the Baltimore Ravens echoed what the Browns said heading into 2026 — there will be an open quarterback competition. 

Monken told NFL Network at the NFL owners meeting in Phoenix on Monday that the Browns haven’t “gotten that far yet” in terms of naming Sanders their starter heading into the team’s offseason program. 

Deshaun Watson, who has had a turbulent Browns tenure, is back in the fold, while Gabriel is back healthy heading into 2026. 

Sanders surely understands he’ll have to prove himself again with a new coaching staff in the building, as that’s ultimately the nature of the NFL except for a rare group of certified starters. 

But Sanders has a Pro Bowl under his belt already despite the small sample size on the NFL gridiron. He’s looking to build off the momentum of last season, but it’ll be a fresh start with a new number.
