Multiple victims were rushed to area hospitals to be treated for wounds suffered in the shooting, police said.

Students at the University of Iowa were among the wounded, the school said in a statement.

Taylor Sheridan’s new war movie gets major update, legendary director attached

Published

on

Taylor Sheridan’s upcoming war movie will hit theaters in 2028.

The “Yellowstone” creator’s empire continues to rapidly expand, and he secured a deal that reportedly is worth more than $1 billion to join NBCUniversal.

Most of his focus remains on the “Yellowstone” universe, with spinoffs in the works or already airing. However, he’s also taking his talents to the big screen with an upcoming “Call of Duty” film.

TAYLOR SHERIDAN SAYS HOLLYWOOD DIDN’T BELIEVE IN YELLOWSTONE, NOW IT’S A TV EMPIRE

It was announced at CinemaCon on Thursday that the upcoming film based on the video game series will premiere June 30, 2028, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Sheridan is responsible for writing the script, and Hollywood legend Peter Berg will direct the film. Berg has multiple major films to his credits.

He’s responsible for “Friday Night Lights,” “Lone Survivor” and “Patriots Day.” Now, he’s linking up with the most talented creative mind in Hollywood for a “Call of Duty” film.

Given Sheridan and Berg’s record, it’s hard to imagine the film won’t go insanely hard. Look at what Sheridan did with “Wind River” and “Sicario” for examples of what happens when he goes dark and gritty.

“Call of Duty” is also one of the most popular video game franchises ever built. THR reported that more than 500 million copies have been sold of the first-person shooter series.

It’s not known at this time what the plot of the film will be, but hopefully, it follows the realistic games and not the futuristic and black ops storylines.

Nobody wants to see a futurist war movie with Berg and Sheridan at the helm. Stick to the hits. Stick to what works.

Sheridan also has “Dutton Ranch” coming out in May on Paramount+ and several other major projects in the pipeline, including season three of “Lioness.” Lots of great content on the way, and I have no doubt “Call of Duty” will meet expectations.

James Comer raises felony questions over Ilhan Omar’s finances after disclosure discrepancy

Published

on

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., is raising questions about possible felony conduct with Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar’s finances after a glaring discrepancy between an initial disclosure listing up to $30 million in net worth and a revised filing showing less than $100,000.

“Who makes a multimillion-dollar mistake on their financial disclosure form?” Comer asked Monday on “Hannity.”

“Either her accountant went to one of those ‘Quality Learing Centers’ in Minnesota, or she lied about it,” he continued, mocking an allegedly fraudulent Minneapolis daycare whose sign was notoriously misspelled.

“If she lied about it, that’s a felony.”

COMER WARNS WALZ ABSENCE AT MINNESOTA FRAUD HEARING WOULD BE ‘ADMISSION TO GUILT’ BY GOVERNOR

The remarks come after an amended disclosure showed Omar and her husband’s assets were between $18,004 and $95,000, a sharp drop from an earlier disclosure that estimated their holdings between $6 million and $30 million, according to The Wall Street Journal.

The sharp dropoff drew scrutiny from Republicans and a congressional watchdog.

Omar’s office said the congresswoman is not a millionaire and blamed a major accounting error for the discrepancy.

“The amended disclosure confirms what we’ve said all along: The congresswoman is not a millionaire,” Omar spokesperson Jacklyn Rogers told the Journal, adding that the filing was corrected “as soon as the discrepancy was identified.”

Her attorney also pushed back on allegations of misconduct, saying it is common for lawmakers to rely on accountants when preparing financial disclosures.

“While the error is, of course, unfortunate, there is nothing untoward, and nothing illegal has occurred,” the attorney said in part.

Fox News Digital previously reached out to Omar’s office for additional comment regarding the matter but did not receive a response.

Republicans have seized on the incident, criticizing Omar and speculating that fraud could be at play.

“If she made a mistake, [she never explained] how the mistake happened. It’s not possible,” Comer said.

“You review that financial disclosure form. Before you hit enter, you enter all the assets in, and then it pops up and you review it, and you hit it again, so it’s highly unlikely that she made the mistake.

“This isn’t going to go away from her, so we’re going to continue to try to push for answers and see if her name pops up in any of these frauds that Vice President Vance and the House Oversight Committee are detecting in Minnesota,” he added.

House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., criticized Omar as a “complete fraud” over the weekend, amplifying the Republican voices critiquing the development.

“Quite frankly, if she is discovered to be involved in any of this fraud personally, that she benefited from it, even by her actions of promoting it and trying to resist investigations, she should be held accountable to the fullest extent,” he said.

Fox News’ Michael Dorgan contributed to this report.
