Lance Twiggs, the trans-identifying former boyfriend of accused assassin Tyler Robinson, said in audio released during Thursday&#8217;s preliminary hearing that Robinson had claimed he wanted to engrave bullets ahead of a planned &#8220;hunting&#8221; trip.
A police interview with Twiggs, originally recorded several months after the late Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was assassinated, was played for the first time during preliminary hearings ahead of Robinson&#8217;s trial.
Twiggs said that Robinson had mentioned a hunting trip he was planning with his family, and asked whether he had a Dremel tool that he could use to engrave bullets before they went. He confirmed that he did have the tool, and had told Robinson where he could find it — and that all of that had transpired about a month or so prior to the shooting.
&#8220;He said he was going hunting with his family and he asked if we had a Dremel he could borrow because he said he wanted to engrave messages on bullets,&#8221; Twiggs explained. &#8220;I just told him where the Dremel was and told him to make sure he doesn&#8217;t set off the bullet on accident in the house, but I didn&#8217;t really think about it until then.&#8221;
He recalled seeing Robinson the day after the shooting, and said that he&#8217;d appeared restless — as if he&#8217;d been attempting to keep himself busy, or to distract himself from what he had done.
Twiggs also said that he&#8217;d asked Robinson directly whether the things he&#8217;d said via text the night before — namely that he&#8217;d been the one to shoot Kirk — had been true.
&#8220;[He] didn’t go into detail. I just asked him in person if what he said was true the night before and he said it was, starting crying a little bit, and he says he wishes he hadn’t done it,” Twiggs said.
Some portions of the interview were redacted pursuant to an earlier ruling from Judge Tony Graf, in which he stated that about 16 minutes of the recorded interview — which initially took place earlier in the year — would be redacted in order to balance transparency of the proceedings with the rights of the defendant.
Robinson, 23, will potentially face the death penalty if he is convicted.

Shooting

Two young men were injured in a double shooting in Washington, D.C., outside a gun violence prevention event at a local church.
The double shooting took place outside of Peace Baptist Church on 18th Street Northeast, just two miles from Capitol Hill, police <a href="https://www.fox5dc.com/news/2-men-shot-near-dc-church-holding-stop-violence-campaign">told</a> Fox 5 DC. 
The pastor of Peace Baptist was reportedly hosting a program to educate students on how to be gun violence prevention leaders when the shots rang out. The pastor said the two injured men were not affiliated with the church, and police have not released their identities or confirmed whether they took part in the summer jobs program near the church. Both men are expected to recover. Both men are expected to recover.
Washington, D.C., City Council member Wendell Felder stated on social media that he is working with the Metropolitan Police Department to apprehend the criminals and notify the community of the situation.
“I am deeply troubled by yesterday’s shooting near Peace Baptist Church. My prayers are with the two individuals who were injured, their loved ones, and everyone in our community who was impacted by this act of violence.” Felder <a href="https://x.com/CMWendellFelder/status/2071940279641293209">posted</a> on X. “It is particularly heartbreaking that this incident took place directly next to a youth gun violence prevention program. No one should have to fear for their safety while working to better themselves or attending community events.”
Police arrived on the scene shortly after the shots were fired and prevented the participants of the nearby summer youth employment program, most of whom were in their teens, from leaving the church for nearly two and a half hours, parents <a href="https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/2-men-shot-near-northeast-dc-church-housing-gun-violence-prevention-program/4123449/">told</a> NBC Washington. 
During those two and a half hours, officers reportedly went door-to-door asking for surveillance footage and tips about the potential suspects.
While searching the scene, police found a 16-year-old in the group carrying two backpacks that held two firearms. He was arrested and charged with carrying a pistol without a license, unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition, and possession of a large-capacity feeding device. Police have not said whether the teen was connected to the shooting, which remains under investigation.
Electrician Jamil Davis was working outside a block away when he heard gunshots. 

“We heard the shots. The first was four, and probably about two seconds later, we heard a few more,” Davis <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reels/DaM7i7VDQY5/">told</a> WUSA 9. “I don’t understand the logic behind why this even happened. You got kids around there.”
“I just wanted to make sure there were no kids [harmed], because I had to deal with this a couple years ago, and the last thing I want to hear is somebody else losing a kid,” Davis added.

Two Men Shot Outside Gun Violence Prevention Event

Washington D.C.

An Antifa anarchist who led an ambush at a Texas Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center last year will spend a century behind bars.
Prosecutors claimed former Marine Corps Reservist Benjamin Hanil Song shot an officer during the July 4, 2025, attack before running and hiding from authorities for a week. On Tuesday, he received the maximum sentence, 100 years, for his crimes, which took place at the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, <a href="https://www.kxan.com/news/national-news/ap-8-people-convicted-of-terrorism-charges-in-texas-immigration-center-shooting-face-sentencing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to KXAN.
Seven other Antifa members also received sentences alongside Song, ranging from 30 to 70 years, the outlet reported. In total, the shooters fired roughly 20 to 30 rounds at law enforcement, according to court documents.
During the attack, the leftist anarchists clad in military-style gear hurled fireworks at the building to lure officers outside before opening fire. Prosecutors said Song shot a local police officer in the neck.
The officer has since made a full recovery, Alvarado Police Chief Teddy May <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/ice-detention-attack-defendants-sentencing-6-23-2026/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.
The group allegedly possessed flyers reading “FIGHT ICE TERROR WITH CLASS WAR!” and “FREE ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS,” as well as a flag stating, “RESIST FASCISM — FIGHT OLIGARCHY.” They also spray-painted the words &#8220;ICE Pig&#8221; on a nearby vehicle and &#8220;F*ck you pigs&#8221; on a guard shack.
For his part, Song was accused of firing two AR-15-style rifles at three ICE officers during the shooting. He recruited his co-conspirators for the attack and distributed firearms.
Prosecutors alleged that Song yelled for the group to &#8220;get to the rifles&#8221; and opened fire before shooting the police officer, KXAN reported.
He was convicted in March of attempted murder of the Alvarado police officer.
The Antifa cell communicated on encrypted messaging apps and used Faraday bags to prevent law enforcement from tracking their locations through phone signals, according to court documents.
During Tuesday&#8217;s sentencing, U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor called the attack “an assault on democracy.”
“The need to deter this type of conduct is high,” O’Connor said.
After sentencing, Song&#8217;s attorney, Phillip Hayes, denied that the group had any extremist ties, according to KXAN.
“This is a bunch of kids and young adults who really have a really big heart and really wanted their voice to be heard,” Hayes said. “It was never intended that anybody get hurt. It was never intended that any shots would be fired.”
The trial marked the first federal domestic terrorism case against Antifa members after the Trump administration designated the anarchist group as a terrorist organization last fall.

Top prosecutors will remain on the case in the trial against suspected White House Correspondents&#8217; Dinner shooter Cole Allen, a federal judge ruled Monday. 
Allen is accused of attempting to assassinate President Trump and members of his Cabinet during the White House Correspondents&#8217; Association Dinner on April 25. If convicted, he faces life in prison.
Allen&#8217;s lawyers <a href="https://nypost.com/2026/05/08/us-news/whcd-shooting-suspect-cole-allen-wants-2-top-prosecutors-booted-from-his-case/">have argued</a> that Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro should be removed from the case because they were present at the event. U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden rejected the request in an 18-page opinion, stating that Blanche and Pirro “are unlikely to be trial witnesses, nor do they meet the legal definition of victims,&#8221; adding, &#8220;Their statements about the investigation and friendships with the President likewise present no basis for screening them from the case,&#8221; The New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2026/06/22/us-news/whcd-shooting-suspect-cole-allen-loses-bid-to-toss-top-prosecutors-off-his-case/">reported</a>. 
Allen’s lawyers also argued that statements by Pirro and Blanche demonstrate conflicts of interest. In a filing in early May, Allen&#8217;s defense team said it had “grave concerns about whether [prosecutors] are making prosecutorial decisions as representatives of the government or as witnesses.” Judge McFadden rejected these claims in his opinion.
In a <a href="https://x.com/JudgeJeanine/status/2051399246776021500?s=20">post on X</a>, Pirro criticized Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui, the Left-wing judge who handled the early stages of Allen’s prosecution, for his soft-on-crime attitude toward his case. Faruqui <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/grand-jury-drops-the-hammer-on-would-be-trump-assassin">apologized to Allen</a> for “whatever [he had] been through” and complained that he was held in solitary confinement. 
Allen was federally <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/indictment-charges-cole-tomas-allen-attempt-assassinate-president-and-assault-federal">indicted on four charges</a> — attempting to assassinate the president, assault on an officer of the United States with a deadly weapon, transporting a firearm, and discharging a firearm during a crime of violence.
Allen allegedly distributed a manifesto signed “Cole ‘coldForce’ ‘Friendly Federal Assassin’ Allen” which stated that he was “no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.” CBS <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/white-house-correspondents-dinner-suspect-manifesto-details/">reported</a> that the manifesto did not list any targets by name, but administration officials were &#8220;prioritized from highest-ranking to lowest,&#8221; not including FBI Director Kash Patel. 
Allen is one of four individuals accused of attempting to assassinate President Trump. The others include Thomas Matthew Crooks, who shot Trump at his Butler, Pennsylvania, rally in July 2024; Austin Tucker Martin, who attempted to breach Mar-a-Lago earlier this year; and Ryan Wesley Routh. Crooks and Martin are dead, and Routh is currently serving life plus seven years in prison.

A gunman <a href="https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-900180">opened fire</a> Monday in a heavily Jewish district of Montreal, leaving one police officer and one civilian dead and a second officer fighting for his life in a hospital.
<div>
The attack unfolded shortly before noon in the Côte-des-Neiges neighborhood, when Montreal police received reports of an armed and dangerous individual near the intersection of De Courtrai and Trans Island Avenues. Officers responding to the scene came under fire. Witnesses described hearing between 20 and 30 shots in rapid succession before parents at a nearby park grabbed their children and fled.

Something didn&#8217;t feel right.&#8221;
</div>
<div>
Authorities broadcast an emergency alert across radio, television, and mobile devices, ordering residents throughout the surrounding area to shelter indoors, lock their doors, and stay away from windows.
</div>
<div>
Shortly after 1:20 p.m., Montreal police announced that the suspect had been neutralized. By early afternoon, authorities confirmed three fatalities: a police officer, the suspected shooter, and a civilian. A second officer remains in critical condition. Video footage from the scene showed the suspect, dressed in camouflage and apparently Caucasian, lying face-down on the ground alongside what appeared to be a rifle.
</div>
<div>
Approximately 100 people sheltered inside a local supermarket during the standoff. Police urged the public to continue avoiding the area as operations remained ongoing into the afternoon.
</div>
<div>
The neighborhood targeted is home to one of Montreal&#8217;s largest Orthodox Jewish communities, with kosher restaurants, Jewish schools, a Chabad center, and multiple Jewish community organizations concentrated along the same streets where the shooting occurred. Authorities had not officially established a motive as of Monday afternoon.
</div>
<div>
The attack comes as Montreal has seen a wave of antisemitic violence. In recent months the city has seen two <a href="https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-898505">firebombing attacks</a> on Temple Emanu-El-Beth Sholom, one of its oldest synagogues; a Jewish father beaten in front of his children in a local park; and shootings near Jewish schools and houses of worship in this same neighborhood. Nationally, B&#8217;nai Brith Canada recorded <a href="https://thej.ca/2026/04/28/bnai-brith-canada-reports-record-6800-antisemitic-incidents-in-2025/">6,800 antisemitic incidents</a> across the country in 2025 — the highest figure since tracking began in 1982.

Federal authorities arrested a man accused of threatening to shoot ICE agents as they were trying to nab an illegal immigrant target, The Daily Wire has learned.
Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents in Yakima, Washington, went to arrest an illegal immigrant who ran from authorities on May 19 and eventually found him at the home of Manuel Lozano, an American citizen, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Lozano allegedly had a pistol on his waistband and told the agents &#8220;I&#8217;ve got something for you.&#8221;
He then allegedly disappeared toward the back of the residence and returned with an AR-15-style rifle. As the agents began walking away, Lozano exclaimed, &#8220;I have 60 rounds and have enough to smoke all you … You see an AR and walk away,&#8221; DHS said.
Federal authorities arrested Lozano on June 4 and seized two firearms, firearms parts, and mixed ammunition from his home.
“This man threatened to shoot an HSI agent with an AR-15 rifle,” Acting Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Lauren Bis said in a statement. “He has now been charged with threatening a federal law enforcement officer.&#8221;
&#8220;Secretary Mullin has been clear: anyone who threatens to kill an ICE law enforcement officer will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. The men and women in ICE law enforcement are simply doing their jobs and enforcing the laws passed by Congress. This violence against ICE law enforcement must end,&#8221; she added.
ICE has <a href="https://www.dhs.gov/news/2026/01/08/radical-rhetoric-sanctuary-politicians-leads-unprecedented-1300-increase-assaults">documented</a> a 1,300% increase in assaults, a 3,300% increase in vehicle assaults, and an 8,000% increase in death threats against agency personnel.
In one recent example, the FBI arrested a rioter outside ICE&#8217;s Delaney Hall detention center in Newark, New Jersey, who allegedly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ill-kill-your-whole-fcking-family-leftist-rioters-arrested-during-wild-clash-with-ice">threatened</a> to kill an ICE officer and his family, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said last month.

EXCLUSIVE: ‘I’ve Got Something For You’: Man Threatens ICE Agents Before Pulling Out AR-15

Anti-ICE

A New York man was fatally shot Monday afternoon after confronting a teenager who was talking loudly on a cell phone aboard a city bus in the Bronx, police said. 
Jonathan Pettigrew, 41, was riding a Bx36 bus around 2:30 p.m. near East Tremont Avenue and White Plains Road when he confronted the teen about the volume of his phone conversation. The teen then pulled a handgun and shot Pettigrew in the abdomen, according to authorities.
First responders rushed Pettigrew to Jacobi Medical Center, where he later died.
Police said the suspect fled the scene and remains at large.
An employee at the nearby Family Mexican Deli told Gothamist that surveillance video appeared to show the gunman fleeing south on White Plains Road. Authorities said the suspect was last seen wearing a white T-shirt.
“ Right now it&#8217;s just hard for me to believe what&#8217;s going on because I&#8217;m really, like, in a state of shock,” Pettigrew’s older brother, Avery Pettigrew, <a href="https://gothamist.com/news/police-seek-suspect-in-killing-of-father-of-7-on-an-mta-bus-in-the-bronx">told</a> Gothamist. 
He said his brother struggled with anxiety and was particularly sensitive to loud noise.
“ He got this anxiety where he, like me, we can&#8217;t be around a lot of noise,” Pettigrew said. “I guess the person that was on the phone was being very disrespectful and loud, and it was bothering him.”
Pettigrew worked in catering and was the father of seven children. He was likely on his way to pick up his youngest daughter from school when he was shot, two of his aunts <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/08/nyregion/bronx-bus-fatal-shooting.html">told</a> The New York Times.
 “This is his routine: He drops her off at school, he goes to work, he gets off work, he picks her up,” his aunt, Sandra Ferguson, said. “I just can’t believe this.”
“He took real good care of that little girl,” another aunt, Sabrina Vereen, said.

At least 12 people were shot at an Ohio music festival on Saturday — and two suspects, according to local police, have not yet been apprehended.
The Old West End Festival, billed as a family-friendly event, came to a screeching halt when two suspects — believed to be shooting at each other — opened fire and sent bystanders fleeing in all directions. According to several reports, around sixteen shots were fired around 5:4o pm local time — and at least 12 people were shot.
Ohio State Rep. Josh Williams (R) shared video that showed the chaos unfolding on the scene.

Police Lt. Dan Gerken spoke at a news conference on Saturday evening, saying that he&#8217;d spoken to the victims — who range in age from 14 to 61 — and that he believes the suspects can be found with some help from the local residents.
&#8220;If we get help from the community, it’ll be hopefully sooner than later. There’s kids out there that probably know more than all of us standing here,&#8221; he said.
Toledo Mayor Wade Kapszukiewicz told reporters that all of the victims in Saturday&#8217;s shooting were expected to survive, although two remain critical according to a <a href="https://nypost.com/2026/06/06/us-news/multiple-people-rushed-to-hospital-after-shots-fired-at-family-friendly-ohio-festival/">report</a> from The New York Post.
Festival organizers responded to the tragic turn of events in a Facebook post, ultimately announcing that the remainder of the festivities scheduled for Sunday, June 7, would be canceled.
&#8220;Too often we turn on the news and learn of a celebration somewhere that turns into a tragedy. Now, that news comes from our own neighborhood. We are heartbroken about those that were injured at the Old West End Festival. Many people want to know how we proceed from such a dark place,&#8221; the post read. &#8220;After discussion with festival organizers, law enforcement and the City of Toledo, we feel that it would not be compassionate, responsible or possible to continue festival. Therefore, all festival events for Sunday June 7th are cancelled.&#8221;

No motive has been provided, but investigators are reportedly reviewing “possible anti-Islamic writings” found in the car with the dead suspects, according to NBC News. 
The shooting sparked condemnation in the United States and across the pond in the U.K. 
&#8220;I condemn the deadly attack on a mosque in San Diego. My thoughts are with those affected. I know many Muslims in the U.K. will be shaken by this, worried about their safety when going about their lives and attending mosque, and what it says about the times we’re living in,&#8221; embattled British Prime Minister Keir Starmer posted on social media.

&#8220;While the details of the incident continue to emerge, it is clear that this attack will cause deep concern and distress within Muslim communities across the United Kingdom and over the world,&#8221; the police department said. &#8220;It is an awful reality that Muslim communities continue to face heightened levels of threat. We know this attack will not only bring profound sadness but also significant concern about safety among Muslim Londoners.&#8221;

Authorities said the mother of one of the suspects in the mosque shooting contacted the San Diego Police Department at 9:42 a.m. to report that her son had gone missing, along with multiple firearms, and her car. She said he was suicidal and was probably with a friend.

An arrest warrant has been issued for an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer accused of shooting a Venezuelan migrant and lying about the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty announced Monday that ICE officer Christian Castro has been charged with four counts of second-degree assault and one count of falsely reporting a crime involving an attempted arrest in January, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/ice-agent-charged-four-counts-assault-minnesota-shooting-venezuelan-im-rcna345732" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to NBC News.
Castro is accused of firing his weapon at the front door of a Minneapolis home “with the intent to cause fear of immediate bodily harm or death to the four adults who were just inside the door,” Moriarty said during a Monday news conference.
“Mr. Castro fired his service weapon at the front door of the home, knowing there were people who had just run inside that presented absolutely no threat to him or anyone else,” Moriarty said.
According to Moriarty, the bullet pierced the front door and struck Venezuelan migrant Jose Sosa-Celis in the leg before traveling through a closet and lodging in the wall of a child’s bedroom.
At the time of the shooting, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) <a href="https://www.dhs.gov/news/2026/01/15/dhs-releases-more-details-about-three-violent-criminal-illegal-aliens-who-violently" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claimed</a> that Sosa-Celis tried to &#8220;evade arrest&#8221; before he &#8220;began to resist and violently assault&#8221; a federal officer.
DHS said two other individuals came out of a nearby apartment and began attacking the officer &#8220;with a snow shovel and broom handle.&#8221; Sosa-Celis then &#8220;got loose and began striking the officer with a shovel or broomstick.&#8221;
The officer &#8220;fired a defensive shot&#8221; after &#8220;fearing for his life and safety,&#8221; hitting Sosa-Celis in the leg, DHS said. Sosa-Celis and the two others &#8220;ran back into the apartment and barricaded themselves inside&#8221; before ICE arrested the trio.
Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons announced in February the opening of a federal investigation after video footage showed that “sworn testimony provided by two separate officers appears to have made untruthful statements.&#8221; The officers were also placed on administrative leave.
“Lying under oath is a serious federal offense,” Lyons said.
“The men and women of ICE are entrusted with upholding the rule of law and are held to the highest standards of professionalism, integrity, and ethical conduct,” he said. “Violations of this sacred sworn oath will not be tolerated. ICE remains fully committed to transparency, accountability, and the fair enforcement of our nation’s immigration laws.”
A federal judge dismissed charges against the two migrants in February after the U.S. Attorney for the District of Minnesota filed a motion to dismiss, citing “newly discovered evidence” that was “materially inconsistent with the allegations” made against the pair, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/immigration-prosecutors-assault-shooting-minneapolis-charges-d713836a06471af9f38ee6ee8976a20c" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to the Associated Press.
During Monday&#8217;s press conference, Moriarty said Castro “was not under any physical threat when he fired his weapon, or even beforehand,&#8221; according to NBC News.
“He was not hit by a shovel or a broom. In fact, he was not hit at all,” she said.
The latest charges come a month after Moriarty issued a separate <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/blue-state-prosecutor-issues-arrest-warrant-for-ice-agent">arrest warrant</a> for another ICE officer accused of flashing a gun at motorists while passing them on a highway.
The Minnesota State Patrol received a 911 call in February from the alleged victims who said a driver pulled up next to them on the shoulder of a highway and pointed a gun at them, Moriarty said at an earlier press conference.
The Trump administration pulled back its deployment of hundreds of federal agents to the Twin Cities after the deadly, immigration officer-involved shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
President Donald Trump also sent his border czar, Tom Homan, to quell the chaos and broker agreements between ICE and local authorities.
Trump subsequently fired then-Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in the wake of the two fatal shootings.

ICE Officer Charged After Prosecutors Say Migrant Shooting Story Was False

A man accused of randomly shooting at cars in Massachusetts has been identified as a career criminal with a previous conviction for attempting to murder a Boston police officer. The suspect was out on the streets thanks to a soft sentence back in 2021. 
Police arrested 46-year-old career criminal Tyler Brown on Monday after they say he walked down a street in Cambridge waving a rifle and shooting at random. Video captured by witnesses show a man, identified by police as Brown, dressed in black walking down the road while brandishing his weapon. 
Two people were seriously injured in the shooting, and officials say Brown&#8217;s shooting spree was stopped by a former Marine legally carrying a handgun and a Massachusetts State Police who both opened fire on him. Brown was hit multiple times and taken to the hospital, <a href="https://www.nbcboston.com/news/local/what-we-know-about-accused-memorial-drive-gunman-tyler-brown/3948328/">according</a> to Middlesex County District Attorney Marian Ryan.

Brown is accused of firing between 50 to 60 shots at more than a dozen cars on the busy Cambridge street. He is expected to be charged with two counts of intent to murder and multiple gun charges. The shooting took place about an hour after police <a href="https://www.kwtx.com/2026/05/11/gunman-memorial-drive-cambridge-was-shooting-passing-cars-random-witnesses-say-i-was-running-my-life/">attempted</a> to conduct a welfare check on Brown after his parole officer reported he made suicidal statements. 
Back in 2021, a judge gave Brown a much lighter sentence than requested by prosecutors after he was <a href="https://www.suffolkdistrictattorney.com/press-releases/items/man-shot-at-police-sentenced">convicted</a> of armed assault with intent to murder and attempted assault and battery by means of discharging a firearm after he opened fire on several Boston police officers back in 2020. 
During that incident, Brown fired 13 shots at police officers who were called to check in on him after he was seen with a weapon.
He was additionally convicted over the incident of three counts of assault with a dangerous weapon for pointing a firearm at Boston Police officers, unlawful possession of a firearm as a subsequent offense, and carrying a loaded firearm and possession of a large capacity feeding device.
Suffolk Superior Court Judge Janet Sanders sentenced Brown to just five to six years in prison, about half the 10-12 years requested by prosecutors. 
At the time, even leftist Suffolk District Attorney Rachel Rollins said she was “disappointed” with the sentence. 
&#8220;Violence will not be condoned in Suffolk County,&#8221; she said. “Whether that violence is committed ​by or against a domestic partner, a stranger, a loved one, ​a family member, a spouse, an acquaintance, a police officer, a suspect, anyone, we will hold the perpetrator ​of the violence accountable​ and advocate on behalf of the victim. ​​This sentence doesn&#8217;t do that, and I want to ​personally apologize to ​each of the​se officers and their families.&#8221;
Brown also has convictions from 2014 for assault and battery with a knife and witness intimidation.
