Ukrainian national who completed Air Force officer training convicted in ghost gun 3D printing operation
A Ukrainian national who completed U.S. Air Force officer training was recently convicted of five counts after authorities intercepted illegal gun parts from China and uncovered a "ghost gun" 3D printing operation inside his home.
A federal jury found Yaroslav Vishnevski, 33, of Harrisburg, Illinois, guilty of receipt or possession of an unregistered short-barreled rifle; manufacturing a National Firearms Act (NFA) weapon without paying special occupancy tax; receipt or possession of an unregistered short-barreled shotgun; receipt or possession of an unregistered silencer; and possession of an Atlas Arms 12-gauge short-barreled shotgun with an obliterated serial number, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Illinois.
The investigation was triggered on April 22, 2024, when U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers intercepted a package shipped from China that contained two suspected firearm silencers, according to a criminal complaint obtained by Fox News Digital.

The parcel was addressed to Vishnevski's home in southern Illinois.
On May 2, 2024, an undercover agent with the Illinois State Police (ISP) dropped the package off on Vishnevski's front porch and watched as Vishnevski retrieved the package and brought it inside, according to court filings.
Shortly after he left the house without the package, marked ISP units pulled him over in a traffic stop while a SWAT team executed a search warrant inside the home.
MARYLAND MAN ON THE RUN AFTER POLICE ALLEGEDLY FIND MASSIVE STASH OF ILLEGAL GHOST GUNS IN HOME
Inside the house and a camper parked outside, federal and state law enforcement allegedly discovered a highly active, illegal weapons workshop.
Court documents note authorities seized three 3D printers and a "Ghost Gunner" desktop CNC machine — a tool commonly used to mill untraceable "80%" firearm receivers.
Investigators reported finding a massive haul of illegal and untraceable weapons, including numerous 3D-printed silencers and firearm frames; privately made, untraceable short-barreled rifles lacking serial numbers; an Atlas Arms 12-gauge short-barreled shotgun with an obliterated serial number; and a Glock 19X modified with an aftermarket stock and vertical foregrip.
Federal law requires short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns and silencers to be registered in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record, and manufacturers must pay a special occupancy tax.
Vishnevski had no such registrations, according to court filings.
Following his convictions, U.S. Attorney Steven D. Weinhoeft told Fox News Digital there is a clear line between criminal enterprises and legal gun ownership.
CIVIL LIBERTY ADVOCATES SUE BLUE STATE OVER 'SHOW YOUR PAPERS' GUN LAW
"The real world contains nuance, and two things can be true at the same time: We staunchly defend the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding Americans, while simultaneously recognizing that machine guns, short-barreled rifles, silencers illegally imported from China, and untraceable ghost guns present obvious dangers," Weinhoeft said. "The Department of Justice strikes this balance each day aggressively enforcing the criminal laws passed by Congress, while vigorously defending the constitutional rights of responsible gun owners in court."
Vishnevski, who is reportedly a U.S. citizen, told Capitol News Illinois he thought the government was surveilling him prior to his arrest because he was born in Ukraine and lived there until the age of 6, before immigrating to the U.S. a year later.
He told the outlet he completed Air Force officer training and enrolled at the St. Louis University School of Medicine under orders to serve as an Air Force physician after graduation, but left the program early and transferred to the Individual Ready Reserve.
Following his arrest, Vishnevski told the outlet an agent with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had questioned him about his views on Ukraine and any associations with its citizens.
The U.S. Air Force and DHS did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s requests for comment.
Christian Pulisic subbed out at halftime of USMNT World Cup opener after feeling tightness in calf
After a first half for the ages, USMNT fans got a scare when star Christian Pulisic did not return for the second half of the United States' World Cup opener against Paraguay.
The Hershey, Pennsylvania, native, who plays club soccer for AC Milan, assisted on the United States’ second goal, scored by Folarin Balogun, and was one of the team’s most noticeable players throughout the first half.
However, when the team emerged from the tunnel, it was revealed that Pulisic had been subbed out in favor of Sebastian Berhalter, son of former USMNT player and coach Gregg Berhalter.
WATCH THE WORLD CUP FINAL ON FOX ONE
The thing was, the team did not give any reason for why the change was made.
It was reported during the FOX Sports broadcast that Pulisic had indicated to family in the stands that he was OK.
After the United States capped off its 4-1 victory, USMNT head coach Mauricio Pochettino shed light on why the star was substituted. Per The Athletic's Tom Bogert, Pochettino said Pulisic took a kick to the calf that caused some tightness, and the decision to remove him was purely precautionary.
FOX ONE’S NEW WORLD CUP VIEWING EXPERIENCE
Some of the concern from fans stemmed from Pulisic's recent injury history. He sat out last summer's Gold Cup to rest after playing 50 club matches with AC Milan.
The following season, he dealt with several injuries. Most recently, according to ESPN, he missed a match last month because of a lower-back issue.
Pulisic is a key piece of the USMNT, and his absence was noticeable in the second half.
While Pochettino said the substitution was purely precautionary, American fans will likely remain uneasy until Pulisic is back on the field and fully healthy.
New York anchor Bill Ritter announces Alzheimer's diagnosis during his final Eyewitness News broadcast
Veteran New York news anchor Bill Ritter revealed Friday that he has been diagnosed with early-stage Alzheimer's disease, bringing an end to his more than two-decade run behind the WABC-TV anchor desk.
Ritter, 76, who has anchored the station's 6 p.m. newscast in New York City since 2001, revealed during Friday's Eyewitness News broadcast that it would be his final night anchoring the program.
"After a series of tests, my doctors have told me I have Alzheimer's," Ritter said during the broadcast.
"It's early-stage Alzheimer's, and they say the treatments I'm getting are keeping it at bay, for now," he continued. "But there is no guarantee, because there's no cure yet for Alzheimer's."
'DUCK DYNASTY' STAR PHIL ROBERTSON DIAGNOSED WITH ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE
"So, unless someone finds an amazing cure, and soon, tonight will be the last newscast I anchor," he added.
According to ABC7, Ritter joined WABC-TV in 1998 after an extensive journalism career that included work at the Los Angeles Times, local television stations in California and positions with ABC News.
He began anchoring the station's 11 p.m. Eyewitness News broadcast in 1999 and was added to the flagship 6 p.m. newscast in 2001. He also anchored the station's 5 p.m. broadcast for several years.

ABC7 reported that Ritter will remain with the station in a new role focused in part on reporting about Alzheimer's disease and other neurological conditions, as well as their impact on patients and families.
"For decades, Bill Ritter has covered and led New Yorkers through the stories that matter most," WABC-TV General Manager Marilu Galvez said in a statement.
"A defining presence at ABC7, he has done so with exceptional insight, integrity and, most of all, heart, earning the love and respect of viewers and colleagues alike," she continued.
"While he is stepping away from daily anchoring, he will continue to be an integral part of our ABC7 family, including sharing personal updates and providing resources to help others impacted by Alzheimer's better understand the disease and the resources available to them."
EXPERIMENTAL ALZHEIMER’S DRUG COULD REDUCE ALCOHOL WITHDRAWAL DAMAGE, RESEARCHERS SAY
"Bill is strong, brilliant, and resourceful, and we look forward to his continued reporting on Eyewitness News," Galvez added.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani responded to Ritter's announcement by wishing the veteran broadcaster and his family "strength in the days ahead."
"For decades, Bill Ritter has been a trusted presence in New Yorkers' homes, helping us make sense of the news that shape our city," Mamdani wrote on X. "
"His courage in sharing his Alzheimer’s diagnosis will help countless families facing the same challenge feel less alone," he continued. "Wishing Bill, his loved ones, and everyone affected by Alzheimer's strength in the days ahead."
Ritter's colleagues also reacted to his announcement.
ALZHEIMER’S RISK SLASHED BY EATING MORE OF ONE COMMON FOOD, STUDY SUGGESTS
WABC-TV reporter Lucy Yang paid tribute to Ritter's professionalism and dedication during his decades-long career at the station.
"For decades, I’ve reported for his show and even filled in, anchored w him," she posted on X. "He never gave less than 110% I salute you. I thank you. And I will pray for you."
Lee Goldberg, the station's chief meteorologist, said Ritter's influence would continue long after he stepped away from the anchor desk.
"He preaches be kind, take care of each other, & we're all in this together," Goldberg said on X. "Now, in addition to doing these things for himself & his loving family, he'll build on his legendary legacy by helping millions who share his battle."
"You're a saint, and my hero @billritter7," he added. "Love you."
Ritter also noted during the broadcast that his father died from Alzheimer's disease in 1998 after battling the illness for years.
US earns historic win in World Cup opener after beatdown of Paraguay as the legend of Folarin Balogun is born
History was made as the U.S. dropped a 4-bomb on Paraguay.
For the first time in history, the U.S. scored at least four goals in a World Cup game.
On top of that, Folarin Balogun, 24, became the first American player since 1930 to score multiple goals in a World Cup match. The 4-1 victory over Paraguay also marked the first time the United States won a World Cup game by three goals since 1930, when it also beat Paraguay. Team USA secured the historic win in its 2026 FIFA World Cup opener in Southern California on Friday night.
WATCH THE WORLD CUP FINAL ON FOX ONE
Balogun's big night marked a historic moment in one of the more fascinating American soccer stories in USMNT history.
The U.S. raced to a 3-0 lead, scoring its first goal within the opening seven minutes, and came within one goal of matching the largest World Cup victory in program history. Even with the three-goal advantage, the Americans continued to press for a fourth goal. But after U.S. captain Christian Pulisic went down with an injury, Paraguay found the back of the net in the 73rd minute.
But then, in the final seconds, 23-year-old Gio Reyna scored the historic fourth goal to ensure the U.S. earned three points in the World Cup standings.
The American scoring barrage started when Paraguay's Damián Bobadilla scored an own goal in the sixth minute, giving the Americans an early lead in the highly anticipated group-stage matchup.
American fans packed in SoFi Stadium roared as the USMNT seized an early advantage.
FOX ONE’S NEW WORLD CUP VIEWING EXPERIENCE
Then in the 30th minute, the New York native Balogun scored his first-ever World Cup goal, pushing the lead to two.
Balogun's strike gave the U.S. a two-goal cushion in the 30th minute, the third-fastest the Americans have reached that mark in a World Cup match. The only time Team USA managed to put the ball in the net sooner was in 2002 against Portugal (29th minute) and in a 1930 meeting with Paraguay (15th minute).
Balogun's special night continued just before halftime, when he scored again, sending the crowd into a frenzy. Balogun raced onto a pinpoint pass from teammate Malik Tillman before curling a shot into the top-left corner for a standout goal.
Born in Brooklyn to Nigerian parents, but raised in London, Balogun came through the prestigious Arsenal academy. He was discovered at age eight playing in a local "Sunday League" in London and joined the youth academy for Arsenal, one of England's biggest professional clubs.
He had the choice to play for the U.S. or England, and when deciding which national team to commit to, he took a vacation to the U.S. in 2023. He felt so much overwhelming support from American fans on social media that it heavily influenced his decision to pledge his international allegiance to the United States.
Now, he is America's newest star in a strong start to a World Cup that will be played on home soil for the first time in three decades.
Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski breaks brains and radar guns with hardest pitch ever by a starting pitcher
There's about to be a lot of focus on soccer for the next month, what with the World Cup getting underway, but MLB is scoring itself some heat by bringing some serious heat.
How does the fastest pitch ever thrown by a starter sound?
Well, we got it, and it came courtesy of Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Jacob Misiorowski and that cannon he calls his right arm.

The Brewers hosted the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday, and at the top of the first inning, Misiorowski came up against Phillies leadoff hitter Kyle Schwarber.
The 2-2 pitch seemed to just catch the lower outside corner of the strike zone, with Schwarber getting a piece of it on a check swing, which was snagged and held onto by catcher William Contreras.
While Schwarber went ahead and started arguing about the call, everyone else's attention was preoccupied by the pitch's speed.
ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!
No, your eyes do not deceive you.
The scorebug did, in fact, read 105 mph.
However, the pitch was officially 104.5 mph, which was the fastest pitch ever thrown by a starting pitcher.
As hard as it was, though, there's a good chance Schwarber didn't notice it being much faster than any other pitch that at-bat. That's because all five pitches he faced were north of 103 mph, with the third pitch of the at-bat, a called strike, also hitting the 104 mark.
As impressive as it is, it's still quite a way off from the hardest pitch ever thrown in MLB history.
That record still belongs to Red Sox pitcher Aroldis Chapman.
Back in 2010, he was in his rookie campaign with the Cincinnati Reds when he threw a blistering 105.8 mph fastball.
Chapman also holds the No. 2 spot on the list, throwing a 105.7 mph fastball in 2016 while pitching for the Chicago Cubs.
USMNT World Cup starts strong, Christian Pulisic sets up Team USA for a stunning first goal against Paraguay
The USMNT and Paraguay kicked off at 9 p.m. ET from Los Angeles Stadium. The USMNT, coached by Mauricio Pochettino, enters Friday at the No. 17 spot in the FIFA World Rankings.
The United States' World Cup bid got off to a dream start when Paraguay's Damián Bobadilla scored an own goal in the sixth minute, giving the Americans an early lead in the highly anticipated group stage matchup.

Fans inside the packed stadium in Inglewood, California, roared as the USMNT seized an early advantage.

Balogun's strike gave the U.S. a two-goal cushion in the 30th minute, the third-fastest the Americans have reached that mark in a World Cup match.

Team USA headed into halftime with a commanding 3-0 lead.
Midfielder Mauricio pulled one back for Paraguay in the 73rd minute, trimming the United States' lead to 3-1. The Americans will return to action June 19 against Australia in Seattle.

Trump says US military eliminated 'infamous' Tren de Aragua leader in lethal strike
President Donald Trump on Friday night announced the U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) "delivered a swift and lethal kinetic strike" to successfully execute Hector Rusthenford Guerrero Flores, also known as Niño Guerrero, the "infamous" leader of Tren de Aragua (TdA).
The U.S. Department of State previously offered up to a $5 million reward for the 43-year-old Venezuelan's arrest or conviction.
"Before I returned to office, Joe Biden opened our Southern Border to millions of Illegal Criminals, and allowed this foreign army to rape, maim, and murder American Citizens with total impunity," Trump wrote in a statement on Truth Social. "During my Campaign, I pledged to expel these monsters from our Country, and bring Justice to the families of those they slaughtered, including the precious 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray, 22-year-old Laken Reilly, and countless other beautiful souls."
DOJ INDICTS ALLEGED HIGH-RANKING TREN DE ARAGUA MEMBER ON TERRORISM CHARGES FOR THE FIRST TIME
The president said with Friday's action, the U.S. military "has brought retribution for them, their families, and their loved ones."
"Early in my Administration, I delivered on my promise to designate Tren de Aragua as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, deport thousands of evil criminals, and wage war against the Cartels, who have long been waging war against our Citizens, while weak leaders left America helpless and defensive," Trump wrote.

"This action was coordinated closely with our friends in Venezuela, with whom we are working very well," he continued. "As a result, Tren de Aragua terrorists no longer have safe haven in Venezuela or anywhere else and, under my leadership, we will find these vicious murderers and drugs lords anytime, anyplace, and send them to the depths of hell where they belong."
TdA, originally a prison gang in the Aragua state of Venezuela, has grown into a transnational criminal organization led by Flores, according to the State Department. The group has since been designated by the U.S. as a Foreign Terrorist Organization.
Authorities said Guerrero spent many years incarcerated at the Tocorón Prison in Aragua State of Venezuela and expanded the group's influence by extorting prison inmates and bribing prison guards.
The gang later assumed overall control of the Tocorón prison, gold mines in Bolivar State, drug corridors on the Caribbean coast and of some of the clandestine border crossings between Venezuela and Colombia.
Federal judge rules she lacks authority to reinstate fired Yosemite ranger who flew trans pride flag
A federal judge ruled on Friday that she has no authority to reinstate a park ranger who was fired from Yosemite last summer after flying a trans pride flag on their day off.
Shannon "SJ" Joslin, who identifies as nonbinary, sued the Department of the Interior, which includes the National Park Service, earlier this year after being fired for hanging the flag across the park’s El Capitan rock formation in California last year.
The former ranger in their lawsuit asked the Biden-appointed judge to reinstate Joslin and to keep the government from launching a criminal investigation.

Joslin had argued in the lawsuit that the government had "enforced its rules selectively based on the message that the pride flag sends," and that Joslin’s firing was "vindictive, retaliatory, [and] intended to communicate disapproval of a particular point of view."
U.S. District Judge Jennifer Thurston wrote in her ruling obtained by Fox News Digital: "The government claims for its part that Joslin was fired for reasons that had ‘nothing to do’ with "speech," adding, "But the government has another more fundamental and more persuasive point: under the laws that Congress has passed, and under the legal precedent that a federal trial court must follow, this Court does not have authority to decide whether Joslin was fired for unconstitutional or illegal reasons, nor to block a hypothetical criminal case against them."
Thurston wrote that the government motion to dismiss was granted and Joslin’s motion for a preliminary injunction was denied.

Joslin wrote an Instagram post after the firing that they were fired from the park "for practicing my First Amendment right" after hanging the 55-foot by 35-foot flag across Yosemite’s iconic rock destination in May 2025.
"I was fired by the temporary Deputy Superintendent for ‘failing to demonstrate acceptable conduct’ in my capacity as a Wildlife Biologist for the park. No part of hanging the flag was done on work time. NOTHING about it had anything to do with my work," Joslin wrote.
Joslin flew the flag for about two hours before taking it down and added that after decades of the practice, "no one" had ever been punished for hanging a flag across El Capitan prior to last week.

"I want my rights and I want my career back," Joslin said.
The Interior Department told Fox News Digital on Friday after the ruling: "We take the protection of the park's resources and the experience of our visitors very seriously and will not tolerate violations of laws and regulations that impact those resources and experiences.
Yosemite National Park was designated by Congress to highlight the beautiful natural and cultural features of the area. No matter the cause, demonstrating without a permit outside of designated First-Amendment areas detracts from the visitor experience and the protection of the park. To safeguard the protection of visitors, visitor experiences, and park resources, many demonstrations require a permit."
Fox News Digital has reached out to the Civil Service Law Center, which represents Joslin, for comment.
Justin Baldoni attorney rips Blake Lively after judge awards limited attorney fees
Justin Baldoni's lawyer issued a scathing statement after a judge ruled that Blake Lively was entitled to recover attorney and litigation fees.
Judge Lewis J. Liman said in a written decision that Lively can recover legal fees and costs related to her defense against a countersuit Baldoni brought against her after she sued him in December 2024. The judge rejected her claims to triple any damages and pursue punitive damages.
On Friday, Bryan Freedman shared a statement with Fox News Digital, stating that Lively "failed" in her attempt to sue Baldoni for sexual harassment.
"We fought and won against a coordinated effort built on allegations of sexual harassment, retaliation, and a smear campaign that never happened. Ms. Lively demanded over 300 million in fees and damages, had 10 of her 13 claims dismissed, she then chose to settle and received nothing," Freedman began.
"Notwithstanding that all of her sexual harassment and defamation claims were thrown out by the court, Ms. Lively then pivoted to exploit a California law that was established to protect real victims in what proved to be a fruitless mission to obtain damages. Once again, she failed," he continued.
BLAKE LIVELY BREAKS SILENCE AFTER JUDGE DISMISSES SEXUAL HARASSMENT CLAIMS IN BALDONI LAWSUIT
Freedman stated that Baldoni's legal team was successful in exposing the truth and "justice prevailed."
"Ms. Lively was only awarded limited attorney fees for a single claim as part of a case that lasted only a matter of months, nothing more. Throughout this process, innocent people had their reputations unfairly tarnished. There was no sexual harassment," he continued. "There was no retaliation. There was no smear campaign. The court recognized it, the record reflects it, and we have maintained it from the very beginning."
"We would not hesitate to stand up for the truth again," Freedman concluded.
Lively's legal team shared a statement with People. "Bryan Freedman and his clients resorted to a DARVO [Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender] statement that is a pack of lies," the statement began.
"Just a few weeks ago, they said Blake Lively's claims 'deserved to be heard.' Now it seems Justin Baldoni thinks women who bring claims of sexual harassment and retaliation in good faith, without malice, should be sued into oblivion," it continued.
Lively's legal team concluded: "Thankfully, there's a law against that, and the Court applied it today. People who do nothing wrong don't have to pay millions of dollars, which is where this is headed now."

The legal dispute between "It Ends With Us" co-stars began in late 2024 after Lively filed a complaint and later a lawsuit alleging that Baldoni sexually harassed her during the production of the film and that he and his associates participated in a campaign to damage her reputation after she raised concerns. Baldoni denied the allegations and maintained that Lively's claims were false.
In January 2025, Baldoni responded by filing a $400 million lawsuit against Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and others, alleging defamation, extortion, and related claims. He also pursued legal action against The New York Times over its reporting on the controversy.
However, in June 2025, a federal judge dismissed Baldoni's countersuit, ruling that many of the statements at issue were legally protected and that the claims did not meet the legal standards required to proceed.

The litigation continued through 2025 and into 2026, with both sides claiming victories at various stages. Several of Lively's original claims were narrowed or dismissed before trial, while some retaliation-related issues remained part of the case.
In May 2026, the parties reached a settlement that ended most of the remaining litigation without publicly disclosing the terms.

The United States Men's National Team (USMNT) gets its World Cup quest underway Friday night against Paraguay, and as you can tell by their arrival at the stadium, there's a lot of excitement.
The Americans are set to play their first World Cup game on home soil since 1994, and after years of buildup, it's finally time to see the team on the pitch.
Of course, first came the arrival at Los Angeles Stadium (known outside the World Cup as SoFi Stadium).

Meanwhile, the USMNT posted a video that would have any red-blooded American ready to run through a wall.
The team had a two-leg journey to get to the stadium. First, they took buses from their training facility at Great Park Sports Complex in Irvine, California, into Los Angeles to the hotel they'll crash in after the match.
Then it was back on the buses to head to Los Angeles Stadium.
The Americans are coming into the match favored at +107, according to FOX Sports, but are coming off a 2-1 loss in their last match, a friendly against Germany last week at Chicago's Soldier Field.
Meanwhile, Paraguay is coming off a 4-0 thumping of Nicaragua in their final tune-up before the World Cup.
The team and coach Mauricio Pochettino also got some well wishes before their first match of the tournament, first from New York Rangers and U.S. Men's Hockey Team head coach Mike Sullivan ahead of the match.
Let's see some of that awe-inspiring Olympic gold medal mojo migrate its way from the rink to the pitch!
Speaking of which, the USWNT sent their best before kickoff.
USA and Paraguay are slated to kick off at 9 p.m. ET on Fox.
