A security breach near the White House led to an arrest Tuesday as King Charles III and Queen Camilla toured Washington, D.C., amid heightened security days after a gunman opened fire at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

A U.S. Secret Service spokesperson told Fox News Digital a suspect was detained and arrested by the agency after bypassing a security barrier near The Ellipse, often referred to as President’s Park South.

Criminal charges are pending, the spokesperson said.

The suspect’s identity and motivation have not yet been released.

It is unclear if there were any weapons involved in the breach.

The Secret Service said enhanced security postures remain in effect on and around the White House complex due to the state visit.

King Charles and Queen Camilla arrived in the nation’s capital on Monday, less than 48 hours after an armed gunman opened fire at the Washington Hilton Hotel during the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner.

Immediately after the shooting, President Donald Trump was whisked away from the venue by Secret Service agents along with first lady Melania Trump and other high-level Cabinet officials.

King Charles delivered a joint address to Congress Tuesday and will later travel to New York City and Virginia.

An elementary school teacher in San Antonio, Texas, has been arrested and charged with continuous sexual assault of a child.

Authorities said in a Facebook post Tuesday that Cecilia Mueller, 46, was taken into custody Monday after an investigation.

Police said they are concerned there may be additional victims and are urging anyone with information to come forward.

According to an arrest report, a 20-year-old man told authorities he had been in Mueller’s fifth grade class at Lewis Elementary School during the 2016-17 school year.

LOUISIANA SCHOOL’S TEACHER OF THE YEAR ACCUSED OF INAPPROPRIATE CONDUCT WITH FORMER STUDENT

Throughout the year, he became one of her “favorites” and engaged in conversations about crushes and other inappropriate topics. Members of that group would sometimes eat lunch with her in a classroom, where he alleged she showed them explicit music videos and, on one occasion, a pornographic video, and played truth or dare, at times daring students to kiss each other.

He also said she instructed the students not to tell their parents, warning she could get into serious trouble.

The unnamed victim alleged his former teacher also kissed him in a closet in her classroom and engaged in other sexual acts. He said the abuse ended after the school year, when she reportedly told him not to tell anyone about what they did and to contact her when he turned 18, adding that it would “ruin him,” according to the arrest report.

Mueller worked in the Northside Independent School District (NISD), teaching at Lewis Elementary School until June 2019 before transferring to Henderson Elementary School in August 2019, where she has taught since.

More than two decades after a North Carolina teen died in what was considered a hit-and-run, investigators now say a police officer has been identified as a person of interest in the homicide case.

According to reporting by WRAL, investigators have recently focused on a Four Oaks police officer in connection with the 2004 death of 16-year-old Josh Davis. The officer has not been charged, and the extent of any involvement remains unclear.

Davis died on Jan. 6, 2004, after he was walking along Hall Boulevard in Garner, according to investigators.

Authorities say Davis and his cousin had been walking through a residential neighborhood when the cousin briefly returned to a nearby home to retrieve something. When he came back minutes later, Davis was found bleeding on the side of the road and was later pronounced dead at a hospital.

Investigators previously believed Davis had been struck by a vehicle in a hit-and-run. He was found with a fatal head injury, though for years it remained unclear whether his death was the result of an accident or something more intentional.

Now, more than 20 years later, Garner police are working alongside the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation (NCSBI) as they pursue new leads. The renewed investigation has gained momentum in recent weeks, with officials confirming in mid-April that new information had emerged.

LONG-COLD CASE SHATTERED AS DNA LINKS SUSPECT TO SAVAGE ATTACK, KILLING OF YOUNG WOMAN, INVESTIGATORS SAY

A search warrant cited by WRAL indicates investigators developed information from a former spouse of the officer who is a person of interest, and noted inconsistencies in statements given in 2004 and again in recent interviews.

The officer has been placed on administrative leave, and authorities searched a home in Benson in late March, seizing electronic devices as part of the investigation, the outlet reported.

In a statement shared with WRAL, NCSBI confirmed it is assisting Garner police and actively investigating new leads but declined to provide additional details.

“The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation is assisting the Garner Police Department with information concerning a 2004 cold case,” the agency said. “The SBI is actively investigating new leads in this case. At this time, no additional information is available.”

As the case resurfaces, Davis’ family is urging anyone with knowledge of what happened to come forward.

“Somebody watching this video knows who killed my brother,” his sister, Alyssa Hatcher, said in a recent public message.

Hatcher said she was just 13 years old when her brother died and described the lasting toll on her family, which has spent decades without answers.

“For two decades now, my family has had no answers,” she said. “Until now, I feel like we might get a little bit of closure.”

In a direct appeal, Hatcher addressed the individual who is responsible for her brother’s death, urging them to speak with investigators.

“I’m not coming at you with anger as Josh’s little sister,” she said. “I don’t feel like you set out that night knowing someone would lose their life … I would just love if you could go talk to the detectives.”

She also claimed that people in the community have long discussed what happened that night without reporting it.

“We know that one person who has gone around and talked about that night over and over again,” Hatcher said. “Possibly bragged about that night.”

A Costco employee in Ohio was shot and killed after refusing entry to a shopper who attempted to enter the store while carrying a weapon equipped with a drum magazine.

Police in Strongsville, Ohio, responded to reports of gunfire outside the Costco on Royalton Road around 5:45 p.m. on April 25 and found 61-year-old Randolph E. Corrigan with multiple gunshot wounds. Officers began first aid before he was transported to a hospital, where he died from his injuries.

Witnesses told police the suspect, 22-year-old Christian M. Bryant of Fort Worth, Texas, was seen walking toward the store entrance with “a drum magazine protruding from one of his pockets,” according to authorities.

Corrigan approached Bryant and told him he could not enter the store with the weapon, according to police.

According to a court document obtained by WJW, Bryant fired one round and then “after a split second pause, fired many more, one after another, with no pause.”

A police report said Corrigan was shot multiple times, including in the chest, abdomen and right arm. He was initially conscious and able to answer questions, but his condition quickly declined.

Several bystanders stopped to help Corrigan at the scene, with one person applying pressure to his wounds until first responders arrived, according to the report.

Bryant told police after his arrest that “a white man approached me with a knife for no reason” and that “I defended myself.” During a court hearing Monday, he reiterated the claim, saying, “This man approached me with a knife.”

Police said Corrigan had a pocket knife at the time of the encounter.

Bryant is charged with murder and appeared in Berea Municipal Court on Monday, where Judge Sean Kilbane set his bond at $5 million at the request of Strongsville police Detective Zaki Hazou.

Hazou said Bryant is a truck driver who was passing through Ohio and has a prior criminal record, though he is not currently on probation or parole.

The case is expected to be presented to a Cuyahoga County grand jury, and additional charges may be considered, according to police.

Following Corrigan’s death, a GoFundMe page was launched to help his family cover funeral expenses. As of Tuesday evening, the fundraiser had raised more than $40,000 of its $55,000 goal.

“He was selfless and caring…the sole caregiver for my 86-year-old grandmother,” the page’s description read. “Aside from taking care of her, he LOVED going to work at Costco, always talking about his coworkers. He would joke, laugh, and pass around sweet treats to everyone around him, making every day brighter for those he met.”

A victim advocate speaking on behalf of Corrigan’s family said they want “justice to be served” and urged anyone who witnessed the shooting to come forward.
