Two people were taken to hospital after being shot by US federal agents in Portland, Oregon, police said on Friday. 

The incident has added to growing tension in the area, with officers urging residents to stay calm while investigators work to find out what happened following a separate shooting a day earlier in Minneapolis.

“Two people are in the hospital following a shooting involving federal agents,” Portland police said in a statement.

“We understand the heightened emotion and tension many are feeling in the wake of the shooting in Minneapolis, but I am asking the community to remain calm as we work to learn more,” police chief Bob Day said.

Police said they were not involved in Thursday’s shooting.

The FBI said it was probing the shooting in which US Customs and Border Protection agents were involved.

“Their conditions are unknown. Officers have determined the two people were injured in the shooting involving federal agents,” Portland police said in their statement.

Portland City Council president Elana Pirtle-Guiney was cited by an ABC News affiliate as saying that, as far as she knew, they were still alive.

“FBI Portland is investigating an agent-involved shooting that happened at approximately 2:15 pm near the 10000 block of Main St. in Portland,” FBI Portland said on social media.

Further details on the circumstances of the shooting in Portland were not immediately clear.

On Wednesday, a US Immigration agent’s fatal shooting of a 37-year-old mother of three in Minneapolis drew condemnation from local officials and sparked widespread protests in Minnesota and beyond.

Tina Knowles is marking a very special milestone for her granddaughter Blue Ivy, and she did it in a way that felt deeply personal and full of love.

On Wednesday, Jan. 7, Knowles celebrated Blue Ivy’s 14th birthday by sharing a heartfelt Instagram post that quickly caught the attention of fans.

The 72-year-old author posted a collage featuring 14 photos of Blue Ivy taken across different stages of her life, a clear nod to the birthday being celebrated. 

Alongside the snaps, Knowles wrote an emotional message that reflected on Blue Ivy’s journey from before she was even born to the young teenager she is today. 

She affectionately described her granddaughter as her “manager, makeup artist, fashion adviser, and my love,” setting the tone for the tribute.

In her caption, Knowles looked back on the moment the family first learned Beyoncé was expecting. 

“I remember the day that we found out about you being in your mom‘s womb. We could not have been more excited! We were told that you were the size of a blueberry and that is where your name came from!” she wrote. 

She also shared how the family came together in prayer during those early weeks. 

“We all prayed together for you every single day till you were 12 weeks old in your moms belly! Then we prayed individually until you arrived months later.”

Knowles went on to describe Blue Ivy as strong and sharp from the very beginning, noting that it was clear she was “a fighter from the beginning.”

She fondly recalled their time playing Princess and Barbie dolls, praising Blue Ivy’s imagination and early intelligence.

The message ended on a proud and loving note. 

“To say that I’m a proud grandmother is an understatement!” Knowles wrote, adding that despite Blue Ivy’s many accomplishments, she remains “a very sweet, kind humble human being.”

Knowles is a grandmother to four grandchildren in total, including Blue Ivy, her younger siblings Rumi and Sir, and Solange Knowles’ son Julez.

Still, this birthday post made it clear that Blue Ivy’s 14th birthday was one Tina Knowles wanted the world to celebrate right along with her.

The Jackass franchise is set to return to theaters in 2026 with its fifth big-screen installment, much to the delight of fans who have long awaited more of its wild, outrageous stunts and pranks. 

The news was confirmed as the next chapter in the long-running series continues to come together after years of speculation.

The upcoming movie, simply known as Jackass 5, marks another major addition to the beloved comedy franchise that first debuted in the early 2000s. 

Johnny Knoxville, the star of the franchise, shared in a post on Instagram, “Well a wang dang and hot damn doodle, we are starting the year off with a bang.” 

“We wanted to let you know that this summer Jackass is back!! We will see you in theatres June 26th. More to come but wanted you to hear it from us first!!”

Audiences can expect the same blend of fearless physical comedy, unexpected antics and laugh-out-loud moments that have defined the series through its theatrical run and multiple television seasons.

While specific plot details and cast confirmations are still under wraps, the announcement has already generated buzz among longtime supporters of the series. 

Jackass has built a loyal following by pushing boundaries with its unique brand of slapstick humour and unpredictable stunts, often involving elaborate setups and daring physical feats performed by the cast.

The franchise’s return comes more than a decade after the release of Jackass Forever, which brought back many familiar faces and reenergised interest in the series. 

Producers and fans alike have spoken in recent years about the desire to revisit the format that made Jackass a cultural touchstone, and Jackass 5 appears to be the next step in that evolution.

Releasing another theatrical entry also highlights the franchise’s lasting appeal, especially as audiences continue to seek out comedy that feels immediate and communal, the kind that hits hardest on the big screen surrounded by fellow viewers. 

The decision to bring Jackass back to cinemas confirms that studios still see value in high-profile comedy releases that can draw audiences out of their homes and into shared viewing experiences.

Fans of the series will be watching closely for news about trailers, the returning cast and the kinds of absurd challenges that have made Jackass a defining example of dare-devil comedy for more than 20 years.

With its 2026 return, Jackass 5 aims to remind audiences why the franchise became a phenomenon, blending chaotic humour with the unexpected and delivering a theatrical experience that’s as irreverent as ever. 

Stay tuned for updates as the project moves forward.
