The owners of Camp Mystic have proposed selling off the riverfront property in bankruptcy. The plan hopes that a buyer will preserve the “historic mission” of the century-old private Christian girls camp, where 27 campers and counselors died in a 2025 flood. The camp filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization plan that would auction off the 749 acres it owns on the banks of the Guadalupe River and other assets. A buyer would likely get a portion of the camp frozen in time. Families of the victims have fought to stop any demolition of damaged cabins and buildings and stop repairs as part of their lawsuits.
A powerful blast has caused a building to collapse near the ancient Acropolis in Greece. The cause of the explosion on Friday is unclear but local media reported that a gas leak was suspected. The explosion occurred in an old two-story building in the tourist district of Plaka in Athens. Firefighters rescued two women who were injured and had to be rescued from an adjacent building. Neighboring buildings and parked cars were also damaged by the explosion. The injured women were transported to a hospital. Local media report a passer-by was also slightly injured. The fire department deployed specialist rescue crews with a sniffer dog to search whether any more people might be trapped in the rubble.
The federal government is defending its officers after a fatal crash last weekend involving an immigrant in western Michigan. The Department of Homeland Security is trying to counter any claim that officers were chasing the vehicle when Mario Coronado Juarez died Sunday in Grand Rapids. The department says officers were a half-mile away when they saw smoke from the crash. The government says officers had stopped the enforcement action when Juarez had fled the scene. Juarez did not have U.S. legal status. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has directed state police to investigate the crash.
