(The Center Square) – Multiple members of Congress are demanding answers about the federal government’s ability to prevent a terrorist attack after two Jordanian nationals attempted to break into Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia.
On May 28, detectives concluded the investigation into the May 22 bomb threat at Manassas Mall, identifying the culprit as a 12-year-old girl and determining the threat was not credible. The case will be handled through the juvenile diversion process after consultation with Juvenile Court Services.
From Prince William police:
On May 27, Deputy R.J. Kemp responded to a disturbance on Munsons Hill Court, where an intoxicated woman mistakenly entered a stranger’s home with her child. The woman, who believed she was on Lakeview Court, was taken into custody and charged with public intoxication, child neglect, unlawful entry, and obstruction of justice. A sober guardian was called to take care of the child.
From the Stafford sheriff’s office:
“Today’s achievement is monumental as our eSTOL aircraft has proven its capability to operate from spaces shorter than 300 feet,” said JP Stewart, Electra Vice President and General Manager. “The aircraft’s low-speed handling has been exceptional, closely matching our predictions and building confidence in the 9-passenger product design. We will continue developing our technologies to enhance the STOL takeoff and landing performance.”
The test flights, piloted by Cody Allee, were conducted in April and May 2024 at Manassas Regional Airport and Warrenton-Fauquier Airport in Virginia. The longest flight lasted 1 hour and 43 minutes, with the aircraft taking off in less than 170 feet and landing in under 114 feet. The aircraft reached an altitude of 6,500 feet and flew as slowly as 25 knots during takeoff and landing. Data from these flights will inform the design of Electra’s 9-passenger commercial eSTOL aircraft, targeted for commercial service in 2028 under FAA Part 23 regulations.

President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are tied at 42% each in a head-to-head matchup in Virginia. According to a Roanoke College Poll, Biden holds a slight lead (40%-38%) when other candidates are included. The survey of 711 likely voters conducted by the Institute for Policy and Opinion Research between May 12 and May 21, 2024, shows that the economy is the top issue for 44% of respondents, followed by immigration (14%) and abortion (13%).
The latest poll shows Virginia voters could choose Trump, a state Biden won by 10 points in 2020. The tide has been turning for Trump in Virginia, as he won the state’s March 5 Republican Presidential Primary by nearly 30 points, a victory that many would go to then-challenger Nikki Hayley, the former South Carolina governor.
