An F-16 fighter jet crashed in northern Michigan during a training flight, but the pilot ejected safely and is now in stable condition. The aircraft, from the Texas Air National Guard, likely lost an engine, as suggested by air traffic control and confirmed by black smoke. A dangerous spill of hydrazine — a toxic chemical used in the jet’s emergency systems — forced evacuations within a one-mile radius and treated 30 people, including first responders, for respiratory exposure. All remain stable after decontamination at Munson Medical Center. While a bird strike was mentioned as a possible factor, the military continues its investigation to determine the true cause of this high-stakes incident.

A decade later, Indiana State Police are re-examining a 2015 shooting in LaGrange County where Rocky Swihart survived a head wound after being confronted by an unknown driver. Investigators released a suspect sketch and vehicle description, hoping the public can help solve this long-standing cold case. The family still carries the pain — but they’re asking anyone with even a small clue to come forward. Tips can be submitted via hotline 1-800-453-4756, email, or the LaGrange County Sheriff’s Department. Justice may still be within reach — if you saw something, speak up.
