Loyola University Campus Newspaper Apologizes for Calling Murder Suspect an ‘Illegal Immigrant’ Instead of “Rogers Park Resident”

Former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich joined Laura Ingraham on Fox News to discuss the tragic and preventable murder of 18-year-old Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman.

Early in the morning on Thursday of last week, 18-year-old Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman was shot and killed near the Chicago campus by one of Joe Biden’s illegals.

The masked gunman approached a group of students walking in the Rogers Park neighborhood and opened fire, shooting Gorman in the head. She died at the scene.

On Sunday, it was confirmed that the masked gunman who killed Gorman is a 25-year-old illegal alien from Venezuela who entered the US under the Biden Regime. Police took Jose Medina-Medina into custody.

In its coverage of the tragedy, Loyola’s campus newspaper, The Phoenix, has caved to the woke mob by changing wording in the coverage of the murder of one of its own to placate the left’s agenda.

While originally referring to Medina as an illegal immigrant, they edited the post to frame him as a “Rogers Park Resident.”

The College Fix reports:

Campus newspaper The Phoenix originally reported on the charges with an Instagram post titled: “Immigrant Man Charged in Murder of Sheridan Gorman, DHS Involved.”

The original post also referred to Medina as an “illegal immigrant.”

However, facing backlash, the student newspaper edited the post to remove the term “illegal immigrant.” The newspaper refers to Medina as a “Rogers Park Resident,” referring to the Chicago neighborhood where Loyola’s main campus is located.

An editor’s note was added to the original story, which spent almost as much time bemoaning the “harm” of calling the alleged murderer what he is than spent on the tragic death of a young woman just beginning her life.

Editor’s Note:

On March 23, a post on The Phoenix’s Instagram page carried the following headline: “Immigrant Man Charged in Murder of Sheridan Gorman, DHS Involved.”

That headline didn’t reflect the most important elements in the story, and it was taken down minutes later to prevent any further harm to affected community members.

Additionally, in the body of the original post, we described the man who was charged as an “illegal immigrant,” using language provided by the Department of Homeland Security. That language does not align with Associated Press style, nor does it align with the values of this newspaper.

No human’s existence is illegal, and we quickly changed our wording to reflect that.

We acknowledge the harm such language can cause and the power and importance of the words we choose to use. We deeply regret these errors, and we’re committed to continuing the high standards we hold for ourselves as journalists and members of the Loyola, Rogers Park and Chicago communities.

Police respond to an incident outside a Chick-fil-A restaurant at night, with emergency vehicles and officers present near the entrance.

A mass shooting took place inside a Chick-fil-A restaurant in Union Township, New Jersey, on Saturday night, and witnesses report that it was done by a “group” of masked men.

The shooting left one person dead and at least six others injured, according to multiple law enforcement and media reports.

The incident took place around 8:40 p.m., and witnesses described chaos as a group of masked gunmen entered the busy fast-food restaurant, went behind the counter, and opened fire.

According to a report from NJ.com, a man whose girlfriend works at the restaurant said that a group of men entered, went directly behind the counter, and fired multiple shots.

Another eyewitness, the father of an employee, told the local news that his son called him in a panic, reporting that multiple masked suspects had stormed inside and that several co-workers were injured.

He described the scene inside as a “warzone.”

Law enforcement officers arrived quickly and found multiple victims suffering from gunshot wounds.

An officer could be heard on the police scanner saying, “I’ve got one shot in the face and at least two in the leg.”

One victim was pronounced dead at the scene, while the others were transported to nearby hospitals.

The exact conditions of the surviving victims have not been publicly released.

A large police presence remained at the scene into the early morning hours, with the restaurant placed on lockdown.

Officers were seen canvassing the parking lot, interviewing witnesses, and reviewing surveillance footage.

Union Police and the Union County Prosecutor’s Office are leading the investigation.

Lauren Farinas, a spokeswoman for the Union County Prosecutor’s Office, said in a statement, “This is an active and ongoing investigation. More information will be released as it becomes available.”

No information has been released regarding the number of suspects, their identities, a possible motive, or any arrests.

This remains a developing story. The Gateway Pundit will provide updates as new details emerge.

Anyone with information is urged to contact local authorities.

A reporter tried to politicize the UFC event.

“Was there ever hesitancy or consideration of perhaps having an event at the White House and maybe a part of a fan base that does not lean into those politics with the [Trump] administration?” a reporter asked Dana White.

“I don’t think like that,” Dana White said.

Dana White called Trump a good friend and praised him for being a fan of the sport.

A 28-year-old man from Rancho Cucamonga was arrested Friday morning after he allegedly set multiple intentional fires inside the busy Ontario Mills Mall in Ontario, California, forcing a full evacuation and temporary closure of the shopping center.

The crazy scene was captured on video by witnesses.

Ontario Police officers responded around 10:30 a.m. on Friday to reports of a suspicious male carrying a lighter and a backpack who was intentionally igniting fires inside the mall.

Callers described the suspect actively setting blazes in several stores, including the True Religion outlet and Nordstrom Rack.

Officers quickly located the suspect, identified as Luis Javier Gallegos Jr., inside the True Religion store.

Footage shared on social media shows flames burning in the store as police confront and take Gallegos into custody after he failed to comply with commands.

WATCH:

According to a press release from the Ontario Police Department, “One officer received non-life-threatening injuries during the incident and was later treated and released from a local medical center. ”

Gallegos was also injured and was transported to a local hospital for evaluation and treatment.

After medical clearance, Gallegos was booked into the West Valley Detention Center on an arson-related felony charge.

Explosive detection K-9 teams swept the mall as a precaution, but no additional threats were found.

Fire crews extinguished the fires with no reported injuries to shoppers or mall employees.

The mall remained closed for the rest of the day.
