The Clay County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that while a suspect was taken to the hospital, no deputies sustained injuries during the incident.
CLAY COUNTY, Fla. — New insights have been released by Clay County Sheriff Michelle Cook concerning a shooting involving a deputy that occurred near Blanding Boulevard on Wednesday afternoon.
According to Cook, at around 1 p.m. on Wednesday, authorities were alerted about a man named Daniel Siewert who was live-streaming on TikTok and expressing threats of self-harm.
A deputy was dispatched to Siewert’s residence in Orange Park. Sheriff Cook reported that upon the deputy’s arrival, Siewert denied any threatening remarks. However, a firearm was observed on a table inside the home. Concluding there was no immediate danger, the officers departed from the scene.
Approximately an hour later, the sheriff’s office was contacted by a relative of Siewert. The family member conveyed that Siewert had expressed intentions of overdosing on non-prescription drugs and was reportedly prepared to confront law enforcement should they return.
After deputies returned to his home, Cook says that Siewert had begun walking away on foot towards a business center south of Wells Road and near the Orange Park Mall, with what was believed to be a firearm. A perimeter was established while deputies attempted to make further contact.
After 2 p.m., Cook says that the agency received another call alleging that Stewart was behind a dumpster and texting about “having a shootout with law enforcement.” After making contact, Cook says that Siewert pointed a firearm at a deputy, prompting a surrounding deputy to open fire, hitting Siewert.
Siewert then came out from behind the dumpster and surrendered. He was taken into custody and transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
No deputies were harmed during the shooting, and Siewert’s condition is currently unknown.

Over recent years, Poland has been diligently prepping its populace for the looming threat of conflict with Russia. In anticipation, metro stations have been converted into bomb shelters, and citizens have been educated in essential survival techniques. Now, the Polish authorities are increasingly concerned about an impending “provocation” from Russia.
In a recent statement that underscores the gravity of the situation, Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk cautioned the public, “I don’t mean to scare anyone, but the coming months may truly be critical.”
According to Tusk, this warning originates from United States intelligence, which suggests that Russia might be gearing up to launch an attack on Poland, aiming to challenge NATO’s resolve.
Polish media outlets have relayed information indicating that the US has alleged a forthcoming Russian “provocation” in the upcoming months. This could manifest in various forms, ranging from a targeted drone strike on critical infrastructure to a minor ground incursion into Polish lands.
Emphasizing the urgency with which Poland is tackling this issue, Tusk noted, “Poland is preparing very intensively for various scenarios.”
“Let’s not be afraid … but we cannot ignore them.”
Poland, along with its Baltic Sea allies Finland, Lithuania, and Estonia, blame growing Russian aggression for cyber attacks and drone incursions they say are testing their defences.
Now, as tensions between the US and Europe threaten to come to a head again at the NATO summit in Türkiye, questions remain about how far Russia would go to exploit Europe’s weaknesses.
‘Poke and provoke’
Meanwhile, Mick Ryan, senior fellow for military studies at the Lowy Institute, told SBS News the threat of Russian aggression should be taken “very seriously”.
“So somehow he has to manufacture a victory, either through Ukraine or something else.”
It’s the “something else” Ryan said should concern NATO members.
The reported goal of Russian provocation would be to test NATO resolve and force Ukraine’s allies to suspend aid, according to The Telegraph in the United Kingdom.
Article 5 of the NATO treaty requires member states, including the US, to come to the collective defence of another member if it is attacked.
According to The Telegraph, Polish security forces suspected Russia would potentially stage an accidental incursion, such as a GPS failure leading to an incursion on Polish territory, to provoke a NATO negotiation rather than an armed response.
They believed Russia would then use those talks to reduce Western support for Ukraine.
Bart Hogeveen, senior fellow at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, told SBS News this is consistent with Russia’s history.
“There are things in the Russian playbook they could use to just poke and provoke Poland, and by extension the European partners and NATO allies,” he said.
“Poland is an important supporter of Ukraine, both in material terms as well as logistically … so it’s heavily directed at Poland, but it’s there to undermine support to Ukraine.”
Train stations into bunkers
Poland’s proximity to Russia and its ally, Belarus, means it has long felt Russia’s presence on its doorstep. In recent years, Poland has blamed Russia for growing acts of aggression against its territory.
“We’ve seen drone incursions in Polish airspace, which last year had to be taken down by fighter jets … we’ve seen the sabotage of Polish railway infrastructure, which is used for [sending] military supplies to Ukraine,” Hogeveen said.
In response, Poland has embarked on a massive military build-up, spending 4.48 per cent of their GDP on defence in 2025, according to NATO calculations.
Ryan said Poland’s military is the most “capable” in Europe, with one of the region’s largest inventories of assets such as tanks, air defence systems and drones.
“They’ve built their military up to one of the largest and most capable in Europe … You’ve also seen NATO change its contingency plans over the last couple of years for deterring and responding to Russia,” he said.
Training programs offer weekend courses to teach civilians survival skills like how to light and extinguish fires, all with the aim of preparing citizens for war.
In late 2025, the Polish capital, Warsaw, announced plans to upgrade its underground train network to function as bomb shelters in the event of military attacks.
Russia’s ‘bloody nose’
Both Hogeveen and Ryan told SBS News they thought a conventional military attack against Poland was unlikely.
“Russia has no prospect of a successful military campaign against Europe,” Ryan said.
“They’re weaker, they’re poorer, and they’re very run down after Ukraine.”
However, Russia could exploit cracks in the relationship between Europe and the US, which reached a breaking point last year as Trump threatened to annex Greenland.
In January this year, NATO sent troops to Greenland following Trump’s threats, pitting the alliance against one of its founding members.
Hogeveen said stoking those tensions would be in Russia’s interest.
“Russia would love us to have a debate about Article 5, where the main question is, will the US come to the defence of its allies or not?” he said.
“If Europe is bogged down into that debate that distracts from support to Ukraine, and distracts from potential issues for a negotiated settlement.”
Ryan said it is “difficult to foresee” how the US would respond to an attack against Poland, but he was certain that Russia wouldn’t risk open warfare against Europe with or without Trump’s backing.
“I think [Russia] would receive a very significant bloody nose.”
In a call on the US’ 250th birthday celebration, Putin reportedly told Trump that Russia was advancing confidently on the battlefield against Ukraine.
On the front lines, Russian forces have made almost no progress in recent months, largely due to the presence of drones, which hinder the movement of heavy vehicles and inflict heavy losses on both sides.
Diplomatically, negotiations are at an impasse, with Moscow demanding the withdrawal of Ukrainian forces from the entire Donetsk region — a demand Kyiv rejects.
A vibrant 22-year-old social media star and model lost her life in a devastating car accident over the weekend, which also resulted in another fatality, according to local authorities.
Officials have identified one of the deceased as Ayzia J. Toledo, a resident from the Philadelphia area, cherished for her fashion influence and lifestyle posts shared under the username “AYZIA J.”
On Sunday night, Toledo was at the wheel of a BMW alongside two passengers when she lost control on a highway in New Jersey, police informed News Media on Monday.
The car careened off the road, overturned, and slammed into a tree in Deptford Township, roughly 12 miles from Philadelphia.

“Toledo lost directional control of the vehicle, ran off the roadway to the left, overturned and struck a tree,” New Jersey State Police said.
Both Toledo and her front-seat passenger “sustained fatal injuries,” according to authorities.
The second victim was identified as Henrietta F. Carter, a 22-year-old woman from Darby, Pennsylvania, a Philadelphia suburb.
A third passenger who was seated in the rear of the vehicle suffered minor injuries and was transported to an area hospital, authorities said.
Officials said the crash remains under investigation.

LIV Golf has notified its teams in the U.S. and the U.K. about potential widespread job cuts. This development arises as the league scrambles to sustain operations after the Saudi Public Investment Fund decided to withdraw its financial backing once this season ends.
Reports surfaced on Wednesday morning detailing that employees were informed of the league’s intention to submit a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act notice, signaling possible layoffs.
The WARN Act mandates that businesses with more than 100 staff members must provide a minimum of 60 days’ notice before executing mass layoffs or shutting down facilities. The U.K. has a similar regulatory requirement for such circumstances.
LIV has four events remaining on its schedule for 2026, with the first coming at the end of the month in the United Kingdom. Getty Images
With dual headquarters in New York and London, LIV Golf operates with a global workforce of over 300 employees.
However, as per a statement made to the Sports Business Journal by a league spokesperson, no layoffs or alterations in current activities have been implemented at LIV Golf.
“As our process to identify strategic investors moves forward in a positive direction, and as part of responsible planning for a range of possible outcomes, we have notified employees in the United States and United Kingdom of potential future actions related to the League’s corporate workforce,” the spokesperson said. “This step is being taken in accordance with legal obligations in each jurisdiction. We deeply appreciate our employees’ continued dedication as we work toward a strong and sustainable future for the League.”
LIV has four events remaining on its schedule for 2026, with the first coming at the end of the month in the United Kingdom.
SBJ reported that LIV Golf employees are expected to carry on their day-to-day roles.
All of this comes as LIV looks for a way forward after this season, when the PIF pulls its funding and creating a level of uncertainty about how the league will go on.
Brooks Koepka and Patrick Reed already have begun the process of returning to the PGA Tour and execs for LIV are scrambling to find investors to fund LIV Golf.
LIV is looking for long-term investors and seeking somewhere between $250 million and $350 million to keep the lights on after this season, Sportico reported.
Ice Spice has expanded her impressive collection of jewelry with a stunning new piece.
The rapper, known for her hit “Princess Diana,” has unveiled a striking new diamond tongue ring, valued at a whopping $50,000 according to the jeweler.
Benny The Jeweler, who crafted the piece, proudly announced on Instagram on July 8, “Biggest tongue ring in the world made for @icespice.” He added, “Flawless diamond made with 18k gold!” alongside a video showcasing the exquisite jewelry.
Benny—who counts stars such as Usher, Saquon Barkley, Jake Paul, and Nicki Minaj among his clients—shared an image of Ice Spice playfully displaying the tongue ring.
At 26, Ice Spice, whose real name is Isis Naija Gaston, has previously commissioned Benny for other bespoke diamond creations. Her collection includes a diamond-encrusted Richie watch, reportedly worth $250,000, and a custom piece styled after her likeness, adorned with over 80 carats of diamonds.
“This is my baby,” Ice Spice said while showing off the custom piece on a 2023 appearance on Capital Radio. “This is fan art. I’m obsessed with that.”
Justin Baldoni is breaking his silence after reaching a resolution in his protracted legal dispute with Blake Lively.
The actor took to Instagram on Wednesday, joined by his wife, Emily Baldoni. She expressed their “immense gratitude” towards everyone who has stood by them since Lively’s allegations emerged in December 2024.
Reflecting on the journey, Justin, 42, remarked, “Gratitude has saved us.”
However, Emily was quick to point out that their gratitude does not erase the “injustice and pain” they have endured over the past few years.
She shared their struggle, saying, “We’ve tried to wrestle with so many things and understand how something like this could happen, especially when it masquerades as a fight for women.”
The father of two shared why they waited two years to speak out.
“There have been so many painful things spoken into existence,” Justin said — as his wife interjected, “untruthful” — “and that created so much noise and we didn’t want to add to the noise. So we just wanted to let the justice system run its course.”
Emily added, “And the truth and facts have spoken for themselves.”
The director said the two are “healing” after going through a traumatic experience. He thanked fans who vocally supported them when they couldn’t speak for themselves.
“Thank you is not enough,” he noted.
Justin and Lively, 38, settled their intense court battle stemming from their film, “It Ends With Us,” on May 4 — just two weeks before their trial was scheduled to begin.
The settlement came a month after a judge threw out 10 out of 13 of Lively’s claims, including her claim that Justin sexually harassed her.
In a joint statement to Page Six about their settlement, the two noted, “The end product — the movie ‘It Ends With Us’ — is a source of pride to all of us who worked to bring it to life. Raising awareness, and making a meaningful impact in the lives of domestic violence survivors — and all survivors — is a goal that we stand behind.”
They continued, “We acknowledge the process presented challenges and recognize concerns raised by Ms. Lively deserved to be heard.”
Both parties added that they “remain firmly committed to workplaces free of improprieties and unproductive environments” and it is their “sincere hope that this brings closure and allows all involved to move forward constructively and in peace, including a respectful environment online.”
Page Six confirmed that neither Lively nor Justin earned any money in their settlement.
However, both Lively and Justin’s legal teams made $60 million combined to sue and countersue one another, sources told Page Six Hollywood.
Just hours after the settlement, Lively attended the 2026 Met Gala, where she posed on the red carpet in a pastel archival Versace gown from 2006. A day later, her husband, Ryan Reynolds, also shared a carefree selfie of the two.
Justin also appears unbothered.
The “Jane the Virgin” alum and his wife, Emily, were spotted in good spirits earlier this month in Nashville, Tennessee. The two held hands while visiting local eatery the Little Rad Market in exclusive pics obtained by Page Six.
The resale market for tickets to Madison Beer’s Locket tour has plummeted, showcasing some surprisingly low prices.
The 27-year-old pop sensation, currently in a relationship with Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert, has been on the road since May to promote her newest album.
Earlier this month, a user on X humorously debated, “Should I see Madison Beer or go to Taco Bell?” They shared a screenshot revealing that general admission resale tickets were priced at $12.87 and $14.04.
Adding to the fun, Ticketmaster joined in by commenting, “Concert or Crunchwrap… either way, both are gonna serve and you’re gonna get fed.”
Someone else ventured to check ticket prices and returned to the conversation with evidence of even lower prices, posting a screenshot of a ticket for just $7.14, exclaiming, “OMFG the fact that this is real.”
But one fan pointed out, ‘It’s day-of concert prices. Resellers adjust the prices from high to low day of concert so they can actually sell the tickets.’
The Daily Mail has reached out to representatives for the singer for comment.

Another social media user showed support for the songstress, calling her production a ’10/10.’
‘See Madison,’ the person advised, noting, ‘I saw her in Chicago the other night and she put on 10/10 show.’
Tickets on Seat Geek for Beer’s upcoming July 13 Madison Square Garden gig range from $50-$1,130.
Despite the single-digit resale prices, Beer took to Instagram on Tuesday night with gratitude for her latest audience.
‘Thank u sweet Philly. What a fun night,’ she wrote in an Instagram Stories post after performing at The Met in Philadelphia.
Beer rose to fame as a teenager when Justin Bieber shared a link to one of her music covers.
She released her debut single, Melodies, in 2013. In 2018, the singer dropped her debut EP, As She Pleases.
The star’s next show is on Thursday in Detroit, where she will take the stage at the Fox Theatre.

Beer published a memoir called The Half of It in April 2023.
Inside the pages of the book, she discusses a moment when she contemplated suicide at age 16 in 2015.
An extract, originally published by People, reads: ‘Once, on a particularly heavy day, I climbed over the edge of my balcony in LA and stood there, a million thoughts running through my head as I stared down at the ground, my eyes going in and out of focus.’
The harrowing experience took place at the juncture of her split from her record label and having her private, explicit photos leak online.
The pop star told the magazine three years ago, ‘I really wanted to write this book now because I thought sharing some of the ups and downs in my life might be able to help other people navigate and relate.’
Beer wrote in one part of the literary work, ‘While negotiating the details of going independent was rocky, the emotional turmoil of being dropped was harder to work through.’
She candidly added, ‘It wasn’t just a bump in my career – it was a hit to my personal life, too.
‘Coupled with the trauma of having my nudes leaked, it completely shattered the image I had of Los Angeles and the industry.’
(The Hill) — On Wednesday, the owner of a Maine brewery announced his candidacy to replace Graham Platner as the Democratic Senate candidate after Platner faced accusations of rape and subsequently withdrew from the race.
Dan Kleban, who owns the Maine Beer Company located in Freeport, declared his interest in pursuing the nomination through a Substack post on Wednesday. Kleban had initially paused his Senate campaign last October to throw his support behind Maine Governor Janet Mills.
Governor Mills later ended her own campaign in April, citing financial constraints. This withdrawal left Platner unchallenged in the Democratic primary.
Kleban shared his motivations in the post, stating, “I’ve engaged with many Mainers over a pint in our taproom and across our community. People are exhausted with a system that’s been manipulated by corporate entities, and we’re fed up with Washington insiders and New York City consultants dictating our representation.”
He continued with a call for change, saying, “It’s time for fresh leadership in Washington, unencumbered by the establishment that has continually let us down.”
Kleban says now is the time to join the field of candidates for consideration to replace Platner after two of Platner’s ex-girlfriends came forward accusing him of rape earlier this week.
The allegations led to more than a dozen Democratic Senators and aligned groups to withdraw their endorsement for Platner’s campaign.
Platner’s supporters have pushed for someone with similar ideals to replace him as the Democratic nominee, although he hasn’t officially suspended his campaign.
Kleban, who previously raised $458,786 for the Democratic primary, holds policy positions that are similar to Platner’s agenda.
“Over the next two weeks, we need an open, transparent process to select our nominee. I’m ready to fight for Mainers and bring a new generation of leadership to Washington. I believe I can unite our party and finally defeat Susan Collins in November,” he wrote in the Substack post.
Other potential replacements for Platner include former Maine Senate President Troy Jackson, Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) director Nirav Shah, former state senator and executive director for the Maine branch of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) Shenna Bellows and Jordan Wood, the former chief of staff to ex-Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif.).
Open Heaven 9 July 2026 Thursday Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye – The City Of The Dead
Open Heaven 9 July 2026 TOPIC – The City Of The Dead
MEMORISE: And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; – Colossians 2:13 (KJV)
READ: Ephesians 2:1-6 (KJV)
1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Proverbs 30-31
Open Heaven 9 July 2026 MESSAGE
Years ago, I visited a country which had one of the largest cemeteries in the world. On top of every grave in that cemetery, there is a concrete slab, and some homeless residents of that city lived in tents that were built over these slabs. For that reason, the cemetery was called ‘the city of the dead.’
Beloved, do you know that people who have not given their lives to Christ or who claim to have done so but are still indulging in sin are living in a spiritual city of the dead? Today’s Bible reading tells us that we were once dead in our sins and trespasses before Jesus made us alive through His death and resurrection. He went to the city of the dead and took the keys of hell and death from satan (Revelation 1:18). Jesus died so that nobody would have to experience the torture of eternal death. If you are currently living in the city of the dead, I implore you to escape from there right now by accepting Jesus as your Lord and Saviour before it is too late. Turn to Him today, and He will change your address from the city of the dead to the Kingdom of Life.
If you are God’s child, it is your responsibility to preach the gospel to those who haven’t given their lives to Jesus Christ. Don’t be so busy minding your business that you neglect the Lord’s business of witnessing to lost souls. Sometimes, the blessing you desire is hidden in your obedience to the Lord’s command to preach the gospel and make disciples of all nations.
Years ago, a lady was praying to God for a husband, and God told her, “Go out and win souls. Your husband is not part of My family yet.” She obeyed and focused on preaching to the lost. About six months later, she came to me and said, “Daddy, I have a problem.” I asked her what the problem was, and she said, “One of the converts that I have just won to Christ says that he wants to marry me.” I asked her to pray about it and accept his proposal if she’s convinced about him. Today, they are one of the best couples that I know.
Beloved, if God has saved you from the city of the dead, don’t be selfish; reach out to those who are still living there so they can also join you in His Kingdom of Life.
Open Heaven 9 July 2026 KEY POINT
It is every Christian’s responsibility to witness to those who are still living in the city of the dead.

REMINDER!!! JESUS IS COMING SOON
ARE YOU BORN AGAIN? IF NO, WHY NOT ACCEPT JESUS NOW!
Accept Jesus Christ today and secure a life of eternal rest and Glory by saying this short prayer below:
Lord Jesus, I believe you died for my sins, Forgive me of all my iniquities. I accept you as my Lord and Saviour from today and forever.
Come and Be the Lord of my life and I am willing to obey Your command and live according to Your will by Your Grace, Thank you for accepting me into Your fold
AMEN!!! John 6:37…and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
LeBron James remains undecided about his future team.
According to insider Shams Charania, James is not expected to announce his next team anytime soon. This delay is causing a ripple effect across the NBA’s free agent market, potentially prolonging the suspense for several weeks.
During this period, James intends to spend time with his family and friends while thoroughly considering his options for what would be a landmark 24th season in the NBA. Consequently, teams vying for his signature may find themselves in a state of uncertainty as they await the star player’s decision.
The list of potential suitors is also becoming more defined.
Charania has revealed that the Denver Nuggets have been eliminated from James’ choices. This development narrows the competition to five franchises: the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, Philadelphia 76ers, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Golden State Warriors.
Each option comes with a different kind of appeal.
Cleveland offers the full-circle ending, Miami offers history and familiarity. Minnesota offers a ready-made contender built around Anthony Edwards. Joining Stephen Curry in Golden State offers the wildest basketball theater with two heated rivals on one team
Philadelphia has emerged as one of the more intriguing teams, with the Sixers reportedly making a serious pitch around a win-now core.
But none of that appears to be forcing James into a quick decision.
Rich Paul recently suggested the process would not move quickly, saying he did not think a decision would happen “anytime soon” or within the next few days.
That tracks with Charania’s latest reporting, which makes clear the NBA may be waiting on James longer than they would prefer as James decides which offers the closest thing to “complete happiness”
That is the difficult part for the rest of the market. James may be 41, but he remains the biggest domino available. Even at this stage of his career, he can change a team’s ceiling, alter the balance of power in either conference and force rival front offices to adjust their own plans.
The Warriors, Cavaliers, Heat, Sixers and Timberwolves can all make their cases.
James, though, still controls the clock.
And for now, the NBA is still waiting.
