UNITED STATES

The Colorado Buffaloes will be playing the rest of their game Saturday night without one of the head coach’s sons. Shilo Sanders was ejected in the second quarter after a targeting penalty. The safety, the older brother of quarterback Shedeur Sanders, tackled Carsen Ryan of UCLA after he made a 3-yard reception with 3:20 to go in the second.  CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM The crown of his helmet looked to make contact with the UCLA player’s helmet, and it appeared Sanders left his feet to make the hit. The NCAA defines targeting as “forcible contact to the head or neck area of a defenseless opponent with the helmet, forearm, hand, fist, elbow or shoulder.” Sanders was immediately flagged for the hit, and he flexed after making the tackle. Earlier in the quarter, Sanders forced a fumble the Buffaloes recovered. Sanders began his college career at South Carolina before transferring to Jackson State to play with his brother and for his father. The three moved on to Colorado in the offseason. The Buffs won their first three games of the season, but they’ve lost three of their last four. They won a single game last season.  CALIFORNIA-USC GAME DELAYED AFTER STUDENTS PROTEST PROFESSOR’S STALKING SUSPENSION After their three-game winning streak, they got blown out by Oregon. They almost came back against USC, which was ranked No. 8, and defeated Arizona State on a walk-off field goal before falling to Stanford in overtime two weeks ago. Shilo Sanders wears No. 21, the same number his father wore during his Hall of Fame career. Entering Saturday, the safety had 36 tackles, 30 of them solo, a forced fumble and an interception.

At least 32 people are dead and more than 60 are injured after a fiery multiple-vehicle crash in Northern Egypt involving a passenger bus, according to authorities. The deadly pile-up — which saw several vehicles collide and then go up in flames — took place Saturday morning about 100 miles north of the capital Cairo on the main highway that connects Cairo to Alexandria, Egypt’s second-largest city. Video from the horror smash shows several vehicles engulfed in flames and heavy black smoke billowing high up into the hazy air. Dozens of bystanders can be seen looking on as sirens ring out in the background while in other videos circulating on social media people can be seen pushing broken-down vehicles away from the deadly scene.  MASSIVE FIRE ENGULFS POLICE FACILITY IN NORTHEASTERN EGYPT, INJURING DOZENS Twenty ambulances were dispatched to the location to help those injured, Egypt’s health ministry said via X, formerly known as Twitter. The crash unfolded in morning fog when the bus — which was on its way to Cairo via the Cairo-Alexandria Desert Road — slammed into a parked vehicle on the highway, according to Al-Jazeera, citing local media and authorities. An oil leak from one vehicle may have contributed to the collision, the publication reported, citing the state-run Al-Ahram newspaper. LOUISIANA ‘SUPER FOG’ PILEUP ON INTERSTATE LEAVES 8 DEAD, 63 INJURED, OVER 160 VEHICLES DAMAGED In a clip of the aftermath, the charred remains of the bus and several other vehicles can be seen at the eerie scene. The crash occurred in the vicinity of Wadi El-Natroun, a desert valley area in northern Egypt, the country’s health ministry said.

University of Illinois Associate Prof. Charles Roseman and biologist Cara Ocobock questioned the existence of two genders in a controversial op-ed for the prestigious magazine Scientific American.  In an op-ed headlined, “To Understand Sex, We Need to Ask the Right Questions,” the two authors claimed that the “answer to the question of how many sexes exist differs depending on the context.” The authors argued that “binaries” about sex in humans, such as there being two genders, male and female, “start to fail us once we move into questions about how organisms live out their lives.”  RILEY GAINES RIPS NCAA PRESIDENT CHARLIE BAKER’S SENATE TESTIMONY AS ‘ENTIRELY DISINGENUOUS’ “So, if ‘sex’ is the answer, what is the question?” the two authors wrote. “This is not so clear, and we have no warrant to make authoritative declarations on this issue from a scientific standpoint that is uninformed by ethical, moral or social considerations. We are in good company here because sex encompasses such a range of questions that we doubt any one medical, scientific or humanistic practitioner would be able to come up with a question that encompasses all of the ways in which humans are affected by sex, however it is construed.” “This can be seen in the example of transgender athletes,” the authors continued. “Arguments revolving around including or excluding trans athletes often rest on notions of strict binary differences in hormone type and concentration that associate female individuals with estrogen and male ones with testosterone. This assumes testosterone is at the root of athletic performance. These hormones do not hew to a strict binary, however.”  They argued that “[f]emale and male people need both estrogen and testosterone to function, and they overlap in their hormone concentrations. If we are interested in how estrogen and testosterone affect athletic performance, then we need to examine these respective hormone levels and how they correlate with athletic outcomes. We cannot rely on gross average differences between the sexes as evidence for differential athletic success. Adherence to a sex binary can lead us astray in this domain of inquiry.” NCAA PRESIDENT CHARLIE BAKER DISTANCES HIMSELF FROM PREDECESSOR’S POLICIES ON TRANS ATHLETES The op-ed was harshly criticized online by political commentators and researchers. “Sexes imply anisogamy, a difference in gamete size, and therefore, a difference in the reproductive contribution,” Paradox Institute founder Zachary Elliott wrote, rebutting the argument in the op-ed. “There has never been a species observed that has more than two sexes. Across different species, the two sexes can exist in separate individuals or in the same individual.” “This magazine should not be allowed to call itself Scientific American,” radio host Christopher Calvin Reid wrote, adding that the name of the magazine is “fraudulent and dishonest.” “I thought by the name that this might have something to do with science, but it looks like it’s actually pure ideology,” author John Hawkins wrote.  Some female athletes, like Riley Gaines, a 12-time NCAA All-American swimmer and five-time SEC Champion, have become famous across the country for their opposition to transgender athletes competing in women’s sports.  Gaines recently called out the NCAA and current president Charlie Baker in response to his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday where he was asked specifically about the issues Gaines has raised about her experience swimming against transgender swimmer Lia Thomas in 2022.  For more Culture, Media, Education, Opinion and channel coverage, visit foxnews.com/media.

U.S. Sens. Susan Collins and Angus King of Maine said Friday after law enforcement discovered Lewiston, Maine, mass shooting suspect Robert Card dead that residents of the state can now breathe a sigh of relief. The 40-year-old Card was found dead Friday night from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound near a dumpster at a Lisbon, Maine, recycling plant where he worked at one point. He is the primary suspect in Wednesday’s mass shooting in Lewiston at Schemengees Bar and Grille and the Just-In-Time Recreation bowling alley in which 18 people were killed and another 13 were injured. Collins, a Republican, said in a statement, “Mainers can breathe a collective sigh of relief thanks to the brave first responders who worked night and day to find this killer.” The GOP senator said President Biden had informed her Card had been found Friday night and that she and the president expressed appreciation for the first responders’ efforts to locate the suspected gunman. MAINE MASS SHOOTING SUSPECT ROBERT CARD FOUND DEAD WITH APPARENT SELF-INFLICTED GUNSHOT WOUND “When President Biden called me this evening to tell me the perpetrator of the heinous attacks in Lewiston had been found, we both expressed our profound appreciation for the courage and determination of these brave men and women,” she wrote. Collins also thanked Gov. Janet Mills, a Democrat, for her “steadfast leadership,” and the health care workers, city officials and the people of Maine “who came together in the wake of this attack.” “To the families who lost loved ones and to those injured by this attack, I know that no words can diminish the shock, pain, and justifiable anger you feel,” she said. “It is my hope that you will find solace and strength in knowing that you are in the hearts of people throughout Maine and across the nation.” In a statement of his own, King, an Independent, expressed relief that the suspect was found and said the people of Maine are appreciative of law enforcement and first responders who worked to find the suspect. “Tonight, I join my neighbors and friends in a communal sense of relief,” King wrote. “We are grateful to law enforcement and first responders, for fifty hours of nonstop dedication and determination that brought us this relief. It will take a long, long time to process this pain, but Maine people have grit, resolve and heart and we will come together through this difficult grieving period and hope for brighter, calmer days.” Maine State Police found Card Friday night at about 7:45 p.m. His body was found after a 2-day-long manhunt in connection with the mass shootings. ELITE BORDER UNIT JOINS MANHUNT FOR MAINE MASS SHOOTING SUSPECT ROBERT CARD Hundreds of law enforcement officers, including the FBI, SWAT and the BORTAC Border Patrol unit worked to locate Card, who was described by officials as armed and dangerous during the manhunt. The governor said in a press conference that she informed the four federal lawmakers representing Maine that the suspect had been located. “This discovery is entirely thanks to the hundreds of local, county, state and federal law enforcement members from all over and people from other states as well, people who searched tirelessly to arrive at this moment,” Mills said. Maine officials identified the victims in the shootings as Ronald Morin, 55; Peyton Brewer Ross, 40; Joshua Seal, 35; Brian MacFarlane, 41; Joseph Lawrence Walker, 57; Arthur Fred Strout, 42; Maxx Hathaway, 35; Stephen Vozella, 45; Thomas Ryan Conrad, 34; Michael R. Deslauriers II, 51; Jason Adam Walker 51; Tricia Asselin, 53; William Young, 44; Aaron Young, 14; Robert Violette, 76 and Lucille Violette, 73; William Frank Brackett, 44; and Keith Macneir, 64. Democratic U.S. Rep. Jared Golden said in a statement that “the people of Lewiston and the surrounding communities can feel safe that this threat has ended.” “I know that we will all continue to pray for and care for the families who have lost loved ones, for the wounded, and for the survivors who experienced this terrible shooting. This is a time for mourning the loss of life and to honor the memory of each one of these members of our greater community,” he wrote. “I want to express gratitude to local law enforcement agents and all who responded from across the state and the country to put their lives at risk to protect our community, and also to the EMT and medical professionals who responded to this crisis. Earlier this week, Golden reversed his stance on gun ownership after the mass shooting in Maine and said he now supports a ban on “assault” weapons. Democratic U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree wrote on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, that she is thankful for the “many law enforcement personnel, medical professionals, local leaders, journalists and residents for their tireless work this week and in the days to come.” “We will hold the Mainers lost forever in our hearts as we begin to try to heal and, importantly, work to put an end to the uniquely American gun violence epidemic,” she continued. “Please, stay safe and stay #MaineStrong.”
