Victims range in age from just 14 years old to 61 years old. 👉 Two victims remain in critical condition. 👉 Multiple others suffered gunshot wounds and other injuries while trying to escape. 👉 Both shooters fled before police arrived and remain at large. Videos posted online captured the terrifying moments when dozens of shots rang out. Witnesses described people screaming, diving to the ground, and running for safety as panic swept through the area.

Toledo’s wild Boca Raton Bowl: Festivus chaos!

Penalty flags flew, numbers got mixed up, and the officials seemed as lost as the teams in the 2025 Bush’s Boca Raton Bowl of Beans. Toledo racked up 14 penalties—including the rare feat of having two players with the same number on the field—while Louisville’s Browns both rushed for over 100 yards. The game had everything: a sideline brawl, a blocked extra point returned for two, and announcers who made things even more confusing. Fans, was this the most bizarre bowl game you’ve ever seen? What’s your wildest college football memory? #Sports #Football #Toledo

MSU vs Toledo: Can the Rockets keep up?

Michigan State is rolling into Tuesday’s matchup against Toledo with a 9-1 record and a top-10 national ranking, while Toledo is still searching for consistency at 5-5.

Toledo, on the other hand, brings a high-powered offense but struggles to defend—especially in the paint. With several Michigan natives on Toledo’s roster, there’s some local pride at stake, but it’s tough to see MSU letting this one slip. What do you think—can Toledo’s shooters make it interesting, or will the Spartans dominate? #Sports #MSU #Toledo

Church Hurt…. It’s a real thing my Personal experience with it.

Hello my name is Lashaun, I’m From Toledo OH, and here is my story of a struggle that is so real to me that I’ve experienced this past summer. Ok so sometime back in July, I went through something very serious and life altering, I went to my pastor, in confidence to share what I had been through. I was completely open and honest about what had happened to me, so we talked on the phone and once I shared what had happened, he told me I was no longer allowed to come back to church for 30 days. Because it would hurt his church members, I cried to him saying I don’t understand, I thought you loved me as my pastor, ……… he never prayed for me on the phone he never said it’s going to be okay, just basically threw me away, after I had been a member there for 5 years. What happened didn’t even take place in church or anything, that was the most hurt I’ve ever experienced in my life, I couldn’t believe he had done that to me and you call yourself a God fearing man. I could of easily exposed him, I could of told all the church business of all the wrong doing there, but I didn’t God sent someone in my life, to give me strength, and tell me it was going to be ok. As a leader you have to be careful and how you treat people, no matter what I’ve experienced , or anybody else you should never treat anybody like that and you call yourself a PASTOR. So if anybody has ever been through church hurt I’m sorry that happened to you, . So the story is I found a new church home and recently got baptized, God gave me grace and stepped right in. #TheStruggleIsReal #ChurchDrama #Church #ChurchNews #Toledo #ChurchReform #LGBTQ
