Speaker Tells County Commission He’ll Shoot Them
A Miami-Dade County, Fla. resident on Tuesday stepped up to the podium at a county commission meeting and threatened to shoot county officials if they took his house. “My constitution gives me the right to shoot every one of you,” Jose Fernandez said before being taken off by two sergeants-at-arms, who arrested him. Miami-Dade police charged him with 13 felonies for threatening to harm public servants — 12 county commissioners and Mayor Carlos Gimenez.
Kia Recalls 52,000 Souls
Kia Motors is recalling nearly 52,000 Soul hatchbacks from the 2014 model year because the steering system may fail, the automaker said in a report posted on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website. The pinion plug on the steering gear assembly had “an improper application of thread-locking adhesive,” Kia said, adding that “the pinion gear may separate from the steering gear assembly, causing the loss of steering, which could result in a crash.” The automaker said it learned of the problem as a result of a warranty claim and that it was not aware of any accidents related to the defect.
