The Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski, who ran a 17-year bombing campaign that left 23 people injured and three dead died by suicide. This according to our friends at the Associated Press. Kaczynski, who had terminal cancer, died around 12.30 a.m. Saturday after the 81-year-old was discovered unresponsive in his cell at the Federal Medical Center in Butner, North Carolina. He was given CPR and revived by emergency personnel before being taken to a hospital, where he was subsequently declared dead. Kaczynski had been incarcerated since May 1998, when he was given four life sentences plus 30 for a terror campaign that paralyzed campuses around the country. He acknowledged carrying out 16 explosions between

1978 and 1995 that left several of his victims permanently disabled. Two people have been killed and two others injured in a shooting outside of Stockholm, Sweden. Police say it appears to have been a conflict between rival gangs. For more, we turn to Sydney Sumner with Crime Online. The incident took place in Farsta, a neighborhood south of Stockholm, and resulted in the deaths of a teenager and an unidentified foreign male. Later, two 20-year-old men were arrested on suspicion of murder and an attempted murder. Around 6 p.m. local time on Saturday, a man brandished an automatic firearm outside the entrance to a subway station,

striking four people. Following the death of an injured 15-year-old boy, a 43-year-old man also died as a result of his wounds. Gunnar Strømmer, Sweden's justice minister, says that authorities believe a total of 21 rounds were fired and labeled the shooting as domestic terrorism. In Denmark, a 23-year-old man is now on trial, accused of murder and attempted murder in a shooting at a shopping mall in which three people died. The July 3, 2022 shooting in the large field shopping complex outside of Copenhagen has been ruled out as terrorism by Danish officials. It appears that the attacker picked his victims at random. Thirteen minutes after the attack began, the alleged shooter, who cannot be identified

because of a court order, was apprehended. The prosecution stated before the trial that it will not ask for a prison sentence if the man is found guilty, but rather that he'll be placed in a secure mental health facility, quote, without a set time limit. JPMorgan Chase has announced a potential $290 million settlement with Jeffrey Epstein's victims. Once again, Sydney Sumner with Crime Online. The victims had accused the bank of acting as the conduit for funds that allowed the financier to maintain his sex trafficking business. Federal allegations against Epstein alleging that he paid young girls for massages before abusing them at his homes in Florida and New York led to his arrest in 2019. In August of that same year, Epstein was found dead in his prison cell.

The death of the 66-year-old was ruled a suicide by a medical examiner. In November, a complaint was filed in Manhattan federal court seeking monetary damages from J.P. Morgan for Epstein's decades-long abuse of young girls and women. In the U.S. Virgin Islands, a lawsuit connected to this has also been filed. According to a transcript of the videotaped deposition, the proposed settlement comes approximately two weeks after Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase, appeared in a deposition for the case and denied knowing about Epstein and his crimes before the financier was apprehended. Lead plaintiff attorney David Bowie says that the proposed settlement, which still needs to be accepted by the court, totals $290 million.
