Travis Kelce was one of two Kansas City Chiefs, along with Ty'Quan Thornton, to wear shirts that read "Free 4," a nod to suspended wide receiver Rashee Rice.Rice, in his third season in the NFL, is serving a six-game suspension following his involvement in a crash where he was charged with collision involving serious bodily injury and racing on a highway causing bodily injury. He pleaded guilty in July, and as part of Rices plea agreement, he received five-year deferred probation and 30 days in jail as a condition of the probation.Kelce and Thornton entered GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday ahead of their Super Bowl LIX rematch with the Philadelphia Eagles with graphic tees that featured photos of Rice.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThe clothing caught the eye of March Lenahan, who represents one of the victims of the crash."I respect that Kelce and Thornton support their teammate, but the 'gym teacher' needs to talk with the history teacher," he wrote in a statement, referencing his engagement announcement with Taylor Swift, via WFAA. "Rashee isnt Nelson Mandela or Pepe Mujica, men who fought for what they believed in. There is evidence that Rashee was going 119 mph in a $1,749 per day Lambo rental that had pot and a pistol in it, on a highway on Easter weekend."Free Rashee? He already thinks hes getting away scot-free." Lenahan continued, adding that Rice has not paid "a single cent" of the $1.1 million settlement he made with his victim.DOLPHINS LEGEND DAN MARINO REMAINS CONFIDENT TEAM CAN OVERCOME 0-2 RECORD DESPITE DREADFUL PLAYOFF STATRice was the driver of a Lamborghini Urus that was going 119 mph on the North Central Expressway in Dallas when he made "multiple aggressive maneuvers around traffic" before crashing into other vehicles, according to prosecutors. Rice did not check on those vehicles involved in the crash and decided to flee the scene on foot.The 25-year-old receiver said in a statement issued by his attorney that hes had "a lot of sleepless nights thinking about the damages my actions caused, and I will continue working within my means to make sure that everyone impacted will be made whole."Rice has sat out the Chiefs' first two games, and they certainly miss him. They are 0-2 for the first time since 2014, as Patrick Mahomes is averaging just 211 passing yards so far. He is eligible to return to the Chiefs sideline in Week 7, when they face the Las Vegas Raiders on Oct. 19.Fox News' Scott Thompson contributed to this report.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X,and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

FIRST ON FOX:Students at a North Carolina university defaced a tribute honoring the life of Charlie Kirk, and over the last couple of days, they have been harassing fellow students who have gathered at the site, prompting calls from students for the university to do more.As students gathered to honor Kirk at a candlelight vigil at the University of North Carolina Wilmington on Monday night, video obtained by Fox News Digital showed a female student harassing Kirks supporters and walking up to the large painted rock honoring Kirk and simulating flatulating onto it."Can somebody get a lighter," the student said. Another student who appeared to be with her said, "Freedom of speech."When a Kirk supporter said, "Jesus loves you," the second woman turned around and pointed to her sweatshirt, which appeared to depict satanic imagery.TOP UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATOR CALLS CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATION 'FAIR' DUE TO STANCE ON GUNS: 'NO PRAYERS'"Take a peek, who is that?" The woman with the sweatshirt said before walking away.In another video, taken the next day, a student can be seen dumping paint onto the tribute, which was painted on a rock by Kirks supporters.Reagan Faulkner, president of UNCWs chapter of College Republicans, told Fox News Digital that a vigil was held on Monday night around the rock, which is often painted by students to promote various causes, with a courtesy understanding that it be untouched for 24 hours.Faulkner said they expected 250 people to attend, and that 750 to 1,000 people ultimately showed up."It was beautiful," Faulkner said. "Absolutely honored Charlie in a wonderful way."X ACCOUNT RACKS UP DOZENS OF FIRINGS FOR THOSE PUBLICLY CELEBRATING KIRK ASSASSINATION: 'FIGHTING BACK'Before the 24-hour courtesy expired, Faulkner said students who oppose Kirk began threatening to paint over the mural, starting at around 6 a.m. Tuesday. Faulkner says the rock was first vandalized around 11 a.m. Tuesday."We told him he had to wait until 5," Faulkner explained. "He said, Thats just a courtesy. I dont have to do anything for you fascists. He insulted one of our military members and called us Nazis. He and a friend later dumped paint on our members and the rock."Faulkner told Fox News Digital that in addition to being harassed, some of her friends were "body checked" and had paint dumped on them and that the police told them it did not rise to the level of an arrest."On Tuesday morning, UNCW is aware of a situation involving the spirit rock," the school said in a statement. "According to University Police, students surrounding the rock were approached by students who wanted to repaint the rock. It started as a conversation but became confrontational as the students who wanted to revise the rock poured paint onto the rock.""Some students tried to prevent this action and, in the process, some of them were splashed with paint. No arrests were made in relation to this incident," it continued. "UNCW Police advised students who expressed concern about potential assault to file a police report.""UNCW is proud to serve as a public university, open to the community, and committed to upholding freedom of expression in accordance with applicable laws and policies. In addition, UNCW encourages and expects students, faculty and staff to foster a respectful campus community."CHARGING DOCUMENTS TO REVEAL NEXT PHASE IN KIRK ASSASSINATION PROBE AS SUSPECT EXPECTED IN COURTFaulkner, who also serves as secretary of UNCWs Turning Point USA chapter, says that ultimately, out of concern for their safety and the situation escalating, the students supporting Kirk stopped defending the mural from being painted."We still think its worth standing up, but instead of painting over it, were choosing to respond differently," Faulkner said. "Were bringing worship music, signs that say, I Am Charlie Kirk, and were praying and singing. We want to live like Charlie spread the gospel, respect free speech and still be present."Faulkner added, "None of us retaliated. I believe God gave us courage and peace. We want conversation, not violence. We want to pick up the mic where Charlie left it, but the other side isnt willing. They say they dont want division or violence, but then actions like this happen. Our takeaway iswere open, but they wont talk."Faulkner told Fox News Digital she is not satisfied with how the university has handled the situation and that they "need to do more to protect us.""I know that legally, the people that were caught in the crossfire, our members that were caught in a crossfire, do have the legal right to press charges and I don't think it was fair for UPD to tell them that they didn't," Faulkner said."And I emailed administration last Wednesday when Charlie passed that its been brought to my attention that a lot of our members don't feel safe on campus, especially after what happened. And I was told you're perfectly safe. Nobody's gonna come after you and then this happened. And then the police told us, like, hey, we can't do anything. And also it's your fault for standing in front of the rock. I think that it's just, I think that the part blaming it on us is shameful."Another student who spoke to Fox News Digital also expressed the sentiment that the school should have done more to prevent the situation."Many of the students here, including myself, are angry, but at the same time our hearts hurt for these lost souls," said Brendan Chafin, a student at UNCW and member of TPUSA and college Republicans."We just want the school to see challenges us Christian conservative students face and to take action against the students who defaced the memorial and assaulted conservative students. This needs to be done immediately to show that hate and violence against Christian conservatives does not belong on campus or in our society."Conservatives have been holding vigils for Kirk across the country in recent days honoring the conservative activist's life and legacy through vigils on college campuses and in public spaces.At the same time, conservative influencers on social media have been posting examples of students, employees, professors and politicians who have disparaged Kirk or suggested he deserved to be assassinated, which has resulted in dozens of firings.

Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania on Tuesday strongly condemned all political violence and called for unity and moral clarity following last week's assassination of conservative activist and Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk.And Shapiro, who survived a firebomb attack against himself and his family at the Pennsylvania governor's mansion in April, also accused President Donald Trump of cherry-picking which violent acts he's condemning in the wake of the murder of Kirk at a college campus event at Utah Valley University."Violence in all forms is unacceptable," Shapiro said during an address to the Eradicate Hate Global Summit in Pittsburgh. "Political violence is particularly dangerous. Not only does it seek to injure, maim or kill it seeks to intimidate, terrorize and silence."CLICK HERE FOR FOX NEWS LIVE UPDATES ON THE CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATIONThe Pennsylvania governor in his speech pointed to other high-profile violent political attacks in recent years, including last year's attempted assassination of Trump, and this year's murder of the former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman, a Democrat, and her husband.SUSPECT IN KIRK ASSASSINATION FACES FORMAL CHARGESTrump, in an Oval Office address hours after Kirk was killed, blamed "the radical left."In interviews Friday on Fox News' "Fox and Friends" and Saturday on NBC News, the president took aim at "a radical left group of lunatics."And Trump told reporters on Sunday, "When you look at the problems, the problem is on the left. Its not on the right."But Shapiro chided Trump, without directly mentioning the president's name."During moments like this, I believe we have a responsibility to be clear and unequivocal in calling out all forms of political violence and making clear it is all wrong. That shouldn't be hard to do," the governor said.And Shapiro lamented, "Unfortunately, some from the dark corners of the internet all the way to the Oval Office want to cherry-pick which instances of political violence they want to condemn."The governor argued: "Doing that only further divides us, and it makes it harder to heal. There are some who will hear that selective condemnation and take it as a permission slip to commit more violence. So long as it suits their narrative or only targets the other side."

A Utah man seen being led away in handcuffs after Charlie Kirks assassination has been charged after police say he distracted authorities in the minutes after the shooting by falsely claiming he was the perpetrator.George Zinn, 71, sparked confusion in the moments after gunshots rang out on Utah Valley Universitys campus last week when police said he approached an officer and yelled, "I shot him, now shoot me," according to a probable cause affidavit obtained by Fox News.Zinn was also hit with four counts of sexual exploitation of a minor after he let authorities search his phone and told them that he uses his phone to view child sex abuse material, the Utah County Sheriff's Office said.UTAH PROSECUTORS PREPARE POTENTIAL DEATH PENALTY CASE AGAINST CHARLIE KIRK SUSPECT TYLER JAMES ROBINSONAfter Kirk was shot and Zinn claimed to be the shooter, according to the document, the officer did not observe Zinn carrying a weapon, but ultimately arrested him after he yelled, "I shot him, now shoot me," again.When asked where his weapon was hidden, Zinn allegedly refused to tell the officer, who performed a search and was still unable to locate a gun.According to police, Zinn continued to claim that he shot Kirk as he was being led away in handcuffs, while telling the officer to "just shoot him."His arrest led to confusion in the crucial minutes immediately following the shooting, with videos of Zinn being taken away in handcuffs circulating online with false claims that the perpetrator had been captured.NEW VIDEO APPEARS TO SHOW ALLEGED CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSIN NEAR CAMPUS HOURS BEFORE SHOOTINGOnce Zinn arrived at the police department, he reportedly walked back his admission that he shot Kirk and asked for an attorney.

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker is calling for more "transparency" after an ICE officer was seriously injured during an encounter with an undocumented immigrant outside Chicago. The suspect was shot and killed after allegedly dragging the officer for a significant distance with his car.ICE Deputy Director Madison Sheahan pushed back on Pritzkers comments, accusing Democrats of siding with illegal migrants over law enforcement."They obviously continue to take the sides of these criminal illegal aliens who put our people in harm's way," said Sheahan Tuesday on "Fox & Friends."ICE ARRESTS 'PEDOPHILES, RAPISTS, ABUSERS' IN CHICAGO SANCTUARY CITY CRACKDOWN OPERATION"Not just officers, it's the people of Chicago, people of these communities that these Democrats and Governor Pritzker continue to choose to protect."The Department of Homeland Security identified the suspect as Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez and said he resisted arrest and attempted to flee during a traffic stop. Sheahan said Villegas-Gonzalez, who entered the United States at an unknown date, had a record of reckless driving and a final order of removal.When officers tried to detain him, he allegedly drove toward them, striking and dragging one agent. The officer then opened fire. Villegas-Gonzalez was taken to a hospital where he later died.Sheahan said the ICE agent was put "in critical condition," but has since returned home.GRIEVING ILLINOIS FATHER BLAMES SANCTUARY POLICIES AS ICE ISSUES CRACKDOWN IN DAUGHTER'S HONOROn Monday, Pritzker said he has requested more details about how the failed arrest unfolded, but has received few details."We need more information. We've asked ICE for all of the information around it. They have given very little," he said."ICE is unwilling to provide the transparency that I think the American public and the public here deserves."Sheahan rejected the governors scrutiny."It is under investigation and we're [going to] continue to make sure we are transparent. The claims that we're not is just false," she said.EX-POLICE CHIEF WARNS CHICAGO COPS WILL GET HURT BECAUSE MAYOR JOHNSON WONT HELP ICEThe dispute comes as ICE expands "Operation Midway Blitz" across Chicago and Illinois. The effort is aimed at arresting illegal immigrants with criminal histories.However, Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson have strongly resisted the operation.Earlier this month, Johnson wrote on X: "Chicago doesn't want to see reckless, unconstitutional, militarized immigration enforcement in our city."Sheahan has noted that anti-ICE rhetoric makes officers jobs more dangerous.CHICAGO MAYOR CONCLUDES COUNCIL-DEMANDED PROBE OF CITY POLICES ROLE DURING RECENT ICE RAID"We're already at over a thousand percent increase year over year of the dangers that our officers are in because of the rhetoric that we're seeing online, the dangers of what elected officials continue to say," she said.Despite the pushback, Sheahan said ICE will continue its mission with the backing from the White House.

The Only Audiobook You Need to Align With Abundance

ABC News correspondent Matt Gutman is under fire for putting a spotlight on what he called the "very touching" text messages Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin sent to his transgender partner.Following the press conference announcing the murder charges against 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, Gutman marveled at the "such specific text messages" that were unearthed about the murder weapon."But also, it was very touching in a way that many of us didn't expect," Gutman said. "A very intimate portrait into this relationship between the suspects roommate and the suspect himself, with him repeatedly calling his roommate, who is transitioning, calling him my love. And I want to protect you, my love.'""So, it was this duality of someone who the attorney said not only jeopardized the life of Charlie Kirk and the crowd, but was doing it in front of children, which is one of the aggravating circumstances of this case. And then, on the other hand, he was, you know, speaking so lovingly about his partner. So a very interesting and riveting press conference," Gutman continued.CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATION: AUTHORITIES COLLECT HOME SURVEILLANCE VIDEO THAT MAY SHOW KILLER FLEEING SCENEOn ABC News' livestream platform, Gutman doubled down, calling it "heartbreaking on so many levels," linking Kirk's brutal murder to the "portrait of a very human person.""I dont think Ive ever experienced a press conference in which weve read text messages that are A, so fulsome, so robust, so apparently, allegedly self-incriminating and yet, on the other hand, so touching, right?" Gutman said. "And the terminology he used, he was trying to protect him. He kept calling him my love. My reason for doing this is to protect you, you know, but also asking him to delete the messages and not speak to law enforcement. So theres this heartbreaking duality that were seeing very tragically playing out."Gutman quickly went viral with critics slamming his "disgusting" comments."Wait, what???" Sen. Jim Banks, R-Ind., exclaimed."Wtaf," New York Post columnist Karol Markowicz reacted."@MattGutmanABC the new front runner for worst take of the day, and thats an impressive feat today," Just The News correspondent Jerry Dunleavy wrote."All it takes is transgenderism being involved, and suddenly the mainstream press thinks the shooter and his boyfriend are a touching love story. Insane," Red State writer Bonchie posted."If they aren't going to change over this, they aren't going to change over anything," Versus Media podcast host Stephen L. Miller wrote.JAY LENO CALLS CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATION THE 'DEATH OF FREE SPEECH'ABC News did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray announced Tuesday that Robinson is being charged with several counts, including aggravated murder.Included in the indictment were text messages Robinson had sent to roommate Lance Twiggs, who Fox News Digital previously reported he had a romantic relationship with. Twiggs is a biological male who identifies as a woman."I am still ok my love, but am stuck in orem for a little while longer yet," Robinson wrote in one exchange, according to the indictment. "Shouldnt be long until I can come home, but I gotta grab my rifle still. To be honest I had hoped to keep this secret till I died of old age.
