CASSIA COUNTY, Idaho (KIFI) — The Idaho State Police is investigating a police pursuit that ended in a fatal crash Sunday evening, June 22, killing one man. The incident began after Idaho State Police (ISP) troopers were called to assist Cassia County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) deputies at the Sublett Campground off U.S. Highway 84, responding to reports of shots fired.

ISP troopers and CCSO deputies coordinated to locate a suspect driving a 2005 Volvo XC90. When a deputy found the Volvo parked on the roadside, the man sped away. The deputy then initiated a traffic stop, but as the deputy approached the vehicle, the suspect fled once again.

Troopers pursued the Volvo, but lost sight of the vehicle due to its high speed and dusty conditions. Minutes later, troopers discovered the Volvo had crashed and rolled.

The driver was located nearby. Troopers immediately began life-saving measures, continuing until medics arrived. Despite their efforts, the suspect died at the scene.

Investigators recovered a loaded rifle and a shotgun from the Volvo, along with additional ammunition. However, no corresponding firearm was found for the additional ammunition.

The Cassia County Coroner’s Office has taken custody of the deceased. The individual’s identity and the official cause and manner of death will be released pending further investigation by the coroner.

ISP is overseeing the agency’s involvement and investigation into the pursuit. CCSO has secured and impounded the firearms recovered from the vehicle. The Minidoka County Sheriff’s Office is leading the investigation into the fatal crash itself.

No further information will be released at this time, according to the ISP.

(CNN) — Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers revealed on Tuesday that he thinks this upcoming NFL season could be his last in the league.

“Yeah, I’m pretty sure this is it,” Rodgers, 41, said on “The Pat McAfee Show.”

“That’s why we just did a one-year deal. Steelers didn’t need to put any extra years on that or anything. This was really about finishing with a lot of love and fun and peace for the career that I’ve had.

“I’ve played 20 freaking years. It’s been a long run, and I’ve enjoyed it. What better place to finish than in one of the cornerstone franchises of the NFL with (head coach) Mike Tomlin and a great group of leadership and great guys and the city that expects you to win.”

After months of speculation, Rodgers earlier this month signed a one-year deal to become the Steelers starting quarterback and set up another fascinating chapter in his Hall of Fame career.

Both Rodgers and the Steelers are looking for more Super Bowl success. Pittsburgh last won a Lombardi Trophy on February 1, 2009, the franchise’s sixth Super Bowl title. Coincidentally, it was Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers who beat the Steelers in their last Super Bowl appearance on February 6, 2011.

Back on his first day of mandatory minicamp in Pittsburgh, Rodgers said that despite being the oldest quarterback in the league, he’s still playing because it’s what he wants to do.

“I don’t need it. For my ego, I don’t need it to keep playing,” Rodgers told reporters. “A lot of decisions that I’ve made over my career and life from strictly the ego – even if they turn out well – are always unfulfilling.

“But the decisions made from the soul are usually pretty fulfilling. So this was a decision that was best for my soul. I felt like being here with coach (Tomlin) and the guys they got here and the opportunity here was best for me. I’m excited to be here.”

Rodgers’ signing saga divided many given the length of time it took – most notably, Steelers legend Terry Bradshaw said he didn’t want the former Packers and New York Jets star anywhere near the team – but with the four-time NFL MVP at the helm, the Steelers look a formidable outfit.

He is coming off two disappointing seasons with the Jets, including one which was lost to a torn Achilles tendon just four plays into his first year with the franchise.

At least 18 civilians killed in Russian attacks, officials say

Officials in Ukraine say Russian drones, missiles and artillery have killed at least 18 civilians and injured more than 100 others.

Russian forces have relentlessly bombarded civilian areas of Ukraine throughout the war, which is now in its fourth year.

More than 12,000 Ukrainian civilians have been killed, according to the United Nations. Ukraine has also launched long-range drones against Russia, hitting residential areas.

A Russian ballistic missile attack on Dnipro hit multiple civilian sites in the central Ukrainian city around midday on Tuesday, killing nine people and injuring scores more, local officials said.

In the nearby town of Samar, an attack killed two people and injured 11, Dnipro’s regional administration head Serhii Lysak wrote on Telegram.

Russia also shelled residentianeighbourhoodsds and critical infrastructure across Ukraine’s southern region of Kherson, killing four civilians and wounding at least 11 others, according to Oleksandr Prokudin, head of the regional military administration.

As previously reported, in the Sumy region of north-eastern Ukraine, a drone attack last night killed three civilians, including a five-year-old boy, and injured six others, local authorities said.

Among the injured were two 17-year-old girls and a 12-year-old boy, according to officials.

Meanwhile, Russian air defence forces overnight shot down 20 Ukrainian drones, the Russian Defence Ministry reported this morning. It said 14 were downed over the Kursk region, which borders Ukraine, while two had been flying over the Moscow province.

One drone slammed into a tower block on the outskirts of the Russian capital, sparking a fire on its 17th floor, local governor Andrei Vorobyov said today. He said a 34-year-old resident suffered shrapnel wounds to his arm and leg. Two other drones were shot down on the approach to Moscow, according to mayor Sergei Sobyanin.

Air traffic was briefly halted as a precaution at two major Moscow airports, a representative of Russia’s aviation authority Rosaviatsiya said.

Russia appears to have raised the scale of hostilities as the US gets distracted by the Israel-Iran war.

Russia and Ukraine have swapped further drone attacks, with at least 10 people reportedly killed in Moscow’s attacks.

Strikes were reported overnight on Tuesday in several areas of Ukraine, killing three people, as well as in Moscow. Later in the day, a Russian attack killed at least seven people in the city of Dnipro.

The attacks are the latest in a series of intensifying hostilities as the efforts of the United States to broker a ceasefire have stalled, with Russia appearing eager to take advantage while the war between Israel and Iran dominates global attention.

A Russian attack on a village in Sumy killed an eight-year-old boy and two adults and injured three others, the military administration of the region said.

Drone strikes also wounded five people in Kharkiv and four others in the Dnipropetrovsk region, local authorities said.

The attacks came a day after a “massive” missile and drone strike on Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, killed at least 10 people.

“The strike took the lives of people from different families,” the military administration said on Telegram regarding the Sumy attack. “They all lived on the same street. They went to sleep in their homes. But Russian drones interrupted their sleep – forever.”

At least seven people were killed later on Tuesday as a Russian missile struck Dnipro.

“Around 70 people were wounded, including 10 children,” Governor Sergiy Lysak announced on social media.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Andrii Sybiha said the strikes on Dnipro were “a rejection of peace”.

“While leaders gather in The Hague for the NATO summit, Russia sends a message of terror and rejection of peace,” Sybiha said on social media.

He called on Kyiv’s allies to “step up pressure on Moscow” as the military alliance gathered for a summit at which members are expected to agree to boost military spending.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is expected to meet US President Donald Trump to discuss support for Kyiv and the bid to secure a ceasefire.

The Kremlin, meanwhile, accused NATO of demonising Russia to justify militarisation.

Ukraine has also stepped up its drone attacks on a wide range of targets in Russia in recent months.

Russia said a Ukrainian drone had targeted a residential building in Moscow overnight, wounding two people, including a pregnant woman, and triggering a fire.

Andrei Vorobyov, the governor of the Moscow region, said the drone started a fire on the 17th floor of the building in the town of Krasnogorsk, west of the capital.

“About 100 people were evacuated from the building, including 30 children,” Vorobyov said, adding that the injured were receiving treatment at a hospital.

Russia’s air defence units destroyed 20 Ukrainian drones overnight, including two over the Moscow region, local news agencies reported, citing Russian Ministry of Defence data.

Russia currently occupies about a fifth of Ukraine and claims to have annexed four Ukrainian regions as its own since launching its invasion in 2022, in addition to Crimea, which it captured in 2014.

Trump had promised to swiftly end the war while on his campaign trail last year, but his diplomatic attempts have not resulted in a ceasefire so far.

While Washington succeeded in bringing the two sides together for direct talks last month, little progress was made, and no meetings have taken place in the last three weeks.

Kyiv has accused Moscow of deliberately sabotaging a peace deal to prolong its full-scale offensive and seize more territory.

(CNN) — Oil futures tumbled again Tuesday on hopes that the shaky ceasefire between Israel and Iran would reduce if not eliminate the risk any significant disruption to global energy markets. Gasoline futures fell, too.

So when will you notice prices falling at the pump?

It may be a while. Because gas prices didn’t shoot significantly higher over the past two weeks after Israel and Iran began their recent hostilities, you probably won’t notice any big savings anytime soon.

The national average gasoline price stood at $3.12 on June 10 according to AAA, just before oil and gasoline prices started their climb on rising concerns about a conflict in the days before the fighting started between Israel and Iran. The so-called New York harbor prices for gasoline futures closed at a wholesale price of only $2.09. A barrel of Brent crude, the global benchmark for oil closed at $66.60 that day.

Both wholesale gasoline and oil futures stared rising steadily June 11 and continued to climb through the early hours of trading this past Sunday night, after the US bombing of nuclear sites in Iran raised fears of a broader conflict. Brent Crude futures briefly topped $80 a barrel late Sunday.

But throughout the day Monday as those fears of a wider conflict retreated and hopes for a cease fire increased, the price of oil started falling sharply.

Oil Monday closed down 7% at $70.65 a barrel, while a so-called New York harbor prices for gasoline futures fell about 5% to a wholesale price of $2.22 a gallon. And the wholesale prices fell another 5% in midday trading Tuesday to a $2.09 price, essentially matching the price before the recent run-up.

The AAA average retail price for a gallon of regular gasoline stood Monday at $3.22, based on a survey of gas stations conducted on Sunday, and it remains there in Tuesday’s reading.

But that means there was only a 3% rise in pump prices from June 10 to today’s level, so there’s not a lot of room for prices to fall to go back to pre-conflict levels.

Tom Kloza, an independent oil and gasoline price expert, said he could see prices starting to decline a little bit in the coming days as stations take deliveries of cheaper wholesale gas.

The seasonal pick-up in summer driving will stop prices from falling significantly in the coming weeks, he believes. But he does think that a glut of oil on global markets and strong US refining capacity could send prices down sharply through the rest of this year once the peak July demand wanes.

“It looks like we’re well supplied, and that’s bearish for prices,” he said.

The strong supply has little to do with President Donald Trump’s “drill, baby, drill” call to increase production. Overall US production is roughly unchanged from this time last year and it’s not likely to increase significantly at the current prices, Kloza said, especially with 50% tariffs on imported steel raising the cost of the pipes used in oil exploration.

The price of oil futures did not spike as high as during some past global incidents, such as Russia’s attack on Ukraine and the imposition of sanctions on Russia by western nations that followed. In that case Brent prices soared 44% from early January 2022 through early March of that year. But Kloza said there isn’t as much speculative money in oil futures markets as there used to driving up prices in reaction to external events.

“That money is much more likely to go into crypto and to go into big tech today,” he said. “There’s only so much money to go around.”
