A Colorado elementary school teacher was found dead inside her home, and investigators said evidence at the home raised questions about her husband's account of what happened.
Patrick Theodore "Ted" Barnett, 40, was arrested in the death of his wife, 37-year-old Lindsey Barnett, and is being held without bond on suspicion of first-degree murder, Lakewood police said.
An arrest affidavit obtained by Fox News Digital revealed new details about the investigation and what detectives said led them to suspect Barnett in his wife's death.
Barnett called 911 shortly after 6 a.m. on Aug. 13, 2026 and said Lindsey had cut herself and her throat and was not breathing, according to the affidavit. He sounded frantic and told dispatchers their two young children, a toddler and an infant, were inside the Lakewood home.

Portland, Oregon, mother Allison Roberts filed a lawsuit on Wednesday against Portland Public Schools and her children's elementary school after allegedly facing retaliation over her opposition to their gender curriculum.
According to the Liberty Justice Center, which filed the lawsuit on behalf of Roberts, she initially expressed concern last year over Meriwether Lewis Elementary School's decision to repaint its traditional rainbow pride flag into an "Intersex-Inclusive Progress" variant to include support for racial and transgender ideology.
Though Roberts supported "being immersed" in Portland's gay community, she felt that the new flag was "an overtly political symbol that promotes values contradictory to her Christian faith," specifically due to its promotion of transgenderism.

OSHKOSH – Indiana Pacers guard and Oshkosh North alum Tyrese Haliburton was back in the Oshkosh North gym on a summer day. It was like he was back in elementary school or middle school just at another basketball camp.
But this time, at the CareSource Tyrese Haliburton Impact Camp, campers wore shirts with Haliburton's likeness on them in Indiana Pacers colors.
"I grew up going to North basketball camp from the time I was in first grade to the rest of my life essentially," Haliburton said. "I have a lot of memories in this gym, so I keep joking with these kids, I'm like, 'If there's anywhere I feel like I'm not going to miss it's in this building right here.'"

It's the third summer in a row that Haliburton has hosted a camp at Oshkosh North and each year he's come back after a major life event. The first summer he returned after winning a gold medal at the Olympics, last summer he was coming off a trip to the NBA Finals where he suffered a torn Achilles tendon and was walking around the camp in a walking boot. This year he returned, not long after getting married.

Gracie Abrams used to worry that being happy would make it hard for her to write songs. Turns out the opposite was true, as she tells Rolling Stone for her new cover story.
Gracie is currently dating Irish actor Paul Mescal. She says before they got together, she had "far less experience sitting down to write when I was filled with security and joy and love and safety."
"And I was like, 'Oh, s***, how am I going to approach this?' Or, you know, 'How's it going to impact the quantity of songs I write?'" she continues. "And it's had the most amazing effect on my writing. It has given me the most amount of **** e to reflect on everything in my life."
She continues, "It has held a mirror to me in ways that I didn't know a relationship with another person of any kind could. It has given me all the perspective that I could have ever hoped for, on previous relationships, on my relationship with my family, on my friendships. It is the greatest gift, period."
The couple's relationship has put them under public scrutiny, even more than they were before. And while you'd think Gracie would be used to that, as the daughter of famed director JJ Abrams, that's not the case. She tells Rolling Stone that any time she spent in the public eye as a child was "very contained." She adds that she didn't even know what her father did for a living until her elementary school classmates asked her for insights on Lost, one of his shows.

Shea Couleé is RuPaul's Drag Race royalty as the crowned queen of All Stars 5. The iconic diva is one of the most well-rounded winners from the hit show and her world domination is only gaining momentum.
By walking in major fashion campaigns (including Rihanna's Savage X Fenty Show), securing a guest spot on the hit ABC show Abbott Elementary, and becoming the first drag artist to land a major acting role in the MCU, Couleé has undoubtedly made a major impact beyond Drag Race fame.
Although her résumé certainly speaks for itself, there's still one iconic Drag Race moment that lives in her head rent free.
"I would probably have to say when I got to walk for Naomi Campbell and come face-to-face with her. It really takes a lot to make a bad **** like me cry. Y'all got me! It was so iconic. She's so beautiful, wonderful, and gorgeous. A true icon! Whenever it comes across my timeline, I never skip it. I always sit there and watch," Couleé tells Out.

Each participating camp will receive a full set of ball hockey equipment to keep games going season-long. Campers will also receive information on how to register for the Flyers Rookie Kids Club and Flyers Learn to Play program, plus a special ticket offer for a Flyers home game during the 2026–2027 season.
Gritty — a beloved figure across the Delaware Valley since his 2018 debut — will appear at each location, greeting campers between clinic sessions. The Flyers will also bring inflatables, including a "shoot on goal" challenge.
"Getting kids into sports early is about so much more than the game itself," said Bryan Ford, ******* ociation Sports Director at the Greater Philadelphia YMCA. "When a child picks up a stick, they're building confidence, teamwork, and healthy habits that last a lifetime. We're incredibly grateful to the Philadelphia Flyers for sharing their time, their alumni, and yes, even Gritty, to give our campers a first taste of a sport they might fall in love with," Ford said in a press release.
The clinics are open to campers at four Greater Philadelphia YMCA camp sites on the following dates. Gritty is expected to come at the end of the first clinic and stay into the start of the second:

Polk State freshman guard and former Winter Haven player Eric Dailey had everyone's support all year, which materialized into the All-American JUCO Showcase selection in Atlanta over the weekend.
And it was all because of his coaches and teammates preaching to him he was the best player on the team, which also meant he had to lead by example. Both things can be true, as Dailey went on to average 17.1 points and 3.4 rebounds.
"It feels great to represent Winter Haven. I've been with them since I was in elementary so I'm grateful to have been a part of an amazing program and I will always have love for coach (head boys basketball coach Tyrone) Woodside and Winter Haven," Dailey said.

Jun. 19—QUINCY — While local Basin student athletes may be out for the summer, their opportunities to remain in shape for their respective sports are not. Head Baseball Coach at Quincy High School and owner of Athletic Breakthrough Gym David Garza has made his business available to local Basin athletes to continue developing during the offseason.
"You're starting to see the kids who are trying to be more dedicated to their sport," Garza said. "One thing that contributes to a lot of that success is dedication in the offseason, their hard work in the weight room, the dedication that they're putting in, as well."
Garza said he noticed more athletes expressing an interest in reaching higher levels of their sports, like college or the pros. However, he noticed a gap in athlete development, citing the summer as a key time period where athletes can separate themselves from the competition.
"I've told them, if you've ever had a chance in your life to ever talk to a professional athlete, a lot of the professional athletes will also say, 'I wish I would have done this earlier, I wish I would have started training earlier, I wish I would have had a trainer or a player specific skill set that would have made me better.' It's something that they have to do all year round," he said.
In turn, Garza has offered programs to help student athletes at varying levels and sports across the Basin progress in the offseason. Whether it's college, high school, middle school or elementary, his gym offers the opportunity to them, he said.

It's common to see children dream of playing in the NBA Finals for their favorite team. Rarely do they get this opportunity. Except for Karl-Anthony Towns.
Towns, the New Jersey native, grew up as a major Knicks fan who dreamed of suiting up to play in Madison Square Garden. Since a midseason trade in 2024, Towns has gotten the chance to live out this very dream.
However, the NBA Finals drought has been lengthy for the Knicks. The last time the Knicks made it this far, Towns hadn't even begun elementary school.
Here's what to know on how Towns became a major Knicks fan.
