Boy, 14, kills himself outside of junior high school in front of other students 'after being bullied by dozens of classmates'

A 14-year-old junior high school student in Utah committed suicide by shooting himself in the head in front of a group of classmates Thursday. Those who knew the victim, identified Friday as David Q. Phan, described him as a boy who was always nice to everyone, but who was often mistreated by his classmates. Granite School District spokesman Ben Horsley said the ninth-grader had left Bennion Junior High in the Salt Lake City suburb of Taylorsville with his mother at around 1.30pm after a trip to the principal's office. Just before 3pm, Phan returned alone to a pedestrian bridge near the school where he came upon several students who had just gotten out of school for the day. Several parents were also present. That is when Unified Police Lt. Justin Hoyal said the teen pulled out a handgun and shot himself in the head.

Three dead after 'bow and arrow attack' at Wyoming community college

Three people have been killed Friday morning in what campus officials have described as a 'bow and arrow type' attack at a community college in central Wyoming. Two victims were found in the main science building at Casper College, while another was found in the middle of a road roughly two miles from the school. The victims were identified only as being two males and one female, with one of the victims a male faculty member and the other a person of 'student age.' The suspect was not a student at the college, according to police, and the attack does not appear to be school motivated, though there seems to be a relationship between the three victims. The suspect apparently committed suicide. No one else is at large and no additional people were injured.

The secretive Amish mafia whose vigilante members carry guns, drive Cadillacs and believe in an eye for an eye

Within the rolling hills of rural Pennsylvania, sects of Amish live out a seemingly modest existence, caring for their families and living lives of deep religious significance.

Grýla by Þrándur Þórarinsson

Grýla, is in Icelandic mythology, a horrifying monster and a giantess living in the mountains of Iceland. She is said to come from the mountains at Christmas in search of naughty children.

The Grýla legend has been frightening to the people of Iceland for many centuries - her name is even mentioned in Snorri Sturluson’s thirteenth century Edda. Most of the stories told about Gryla were to frighten children – her favourite dish was a stew of naughty kids and she had an insatiable appetite. Grýla was not directly linked to Christmas until in the 17th century. By that time she had become the mother of the Yule Lads. A public decree was issued in 1746 prohibiting the use of Grýla and the Yule Lads to terrify children.

According to folklore Grýla has been married three times. Her third husband Leppalúði is said to be living with her in their cave in the Dimmuborgir lava fields, with the big black Yule Cat and their sons. As Christmas approaches, Grýla sets off looking for naughty boys and girls. The Grýla legend has appeared in many stories, poems, songs and plays in Iceland and sometimes Grýla dies in the end of the story.

Teenager 'cut through his mother's spinal cord so she could not move and stabbed her 94 times in brutal attack'

A 16-year-old boy murdered his mother by stabbing her 94 times, immobilising her early on in the attack by severing her spinal cord, a court heard today. The teenager, who admits having 'an interest in knives', then claimed Leah Whittle had been killed at their home in Weymouth, Dorset, by a gang of 'mystery men from Yorkshire'. He inflicted knife wounds across her head, back and front in the two bedroom flat, stabbing her with at least one knife in an attack so sudden she had 'little chance' to defend herself, jurors were told. The teenager then fled the flat in the early hours, climbing out of his first floor bedroom window and down a drainpipe. He went to visit friends, feeding them an elaborate cover story that he had seen a gang of 'mystery men' from the north of England kill his mother, Winchester Crown Court heard. Divorced mother-of-three Ms Whittle, 42, was found slumped against the hallway wall.

Husband sentenced to four life terms for executing his three children and wife during trip to waterpark - so he could start a new life in Canada

A man who executed his wife and three children in their SUV will spend the rest of his life in prison after being found guilty of their brutal murders. Christopher Vaughn, 37, was sentenced on Tuesday to four consecutive life terms for killing his wife Kimberly, 34, and children Abigayle, 12, Cassandra, 11 and eight-year-old Blake.

Minnesota homeowner shot two teenagers dead in cold blood in his basement 'because he feared they had a weapon'

A Minnesota homeowner who shot two teenagers in the midst of an apparent Thanksgiving Day break-in told authorities he feared they had a weapon, but acknowledged firing "more shots than I needed to" and appeared to take pride in "a good clean finishing shot" for one teen, according to investigators. Byron David Smith, 64, was charged Monday with two counts of second-degree murder in a criminal complaint that was chilling for the clinical way investigators said he described the shootings. Smith told investigators he shot 18-year-old Haile Kifer several times as she descended a stairway into his basement, and his Mini 14 rifle jammed as he tried to shoot her again after she had tumbled down the steps. Though Kifer was "already hurting," she let out a short laugh, Smith told investigators. He then pulled out his .22-caliber revolver and shot her several times in the chest, according to the complaint. "If you're trying to shoot somebody and they laugh at you, you go again," Smith told investigators, according to a criminal complaint filed Monday.

Mexico's fearless woman mayor who survived two drug gang assassination attempts is beaten to death and dumped by the roadside

The body of a woman once called a 'heroine of the 21st century' for fearlessly standing up to Mexico's brutal drug cartels has been found beaten to death at the side of a road. Dr Maria Santos Gorrostieta, 36, was the former mayor of Tiquicheo, a rural district in Michoacan, west of Mexico City. She leaves behind three sons. Her second husband, Nereo Delgado Patinoran, is alleged to be missing. She famously survived two assassination attempts by narcotics gangs who have turned the country into a war zone. Dr Gorrostieta had seen her government security team withdrawn in November last year, and then her police escort in January. Her brave defiance may have cost the mother-of-three her life. The official cause of death was a blow to the head but she had been stabbed, her legs and hands had been bound and her waist and chest were covered in burns, suggesting she had been tortured.

An eleven-year-old schoolgirl needed surgery after a man dragged her off the street and subjected her to a brutal sex attack. The man followed the girl, who was wearing school uniform, after she got off a bus on Bury Street in Enfield at 4.15pm on Friday afternoon. Sensing she was being followed, the girl crossed Galliard Road to try and shake him off. But he dragged her into nearby Jubilee Park by a pitch and putt area and sexually assaulted her. Police described the suspect as a black male with afro hair wearing a dark grey top and black baggy jeans. Police patrols have been stepped up in the area and Detective Inspector Simon Ellershaw said: 'It's a brutal attack on a defenceless eleven-year-old girl. It doesn't need me to say how serious an attack this is.

South Africa: Police kill 7 suspected robbers

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Police in South Africa say they shot dead seven suspected robbers and wounded nine others in a botched theft at an armored car company. Capt. Paul Ramaloko of the South African Police Service said Sunday that officers got a tip that the thieves wanted to rob a Protea Coin depot in Robertville, a suburb west of Johannesburg. A gunfight began Saturday night as officers tried to arrest the suspects. Ramaloko says no officers were injured in the shooting. He said they recovered firearms from the suspected robbers at the depot. Violent crime remains common in South Africa, as unemployment remains high and options few for the nation's poor. Mass police shootings often occur as officers confront heavily armed criminal gangs.

God 'not welcome' at school advent services

The discussion about advent and church services arises every year in Sweden and in response the agency has developed legal guidelines to assist school principals. "The law stipulates that Swedish schools are non-confessional," Skolverket's Anna Ekström and Claes-Göran Aggebo underlined in an article in the Dagens Nyheter daily on Sunday. "That school is non-confessional means that there can't be any religious elements such as prayer, blessings or declarations of faith in education. Students should not have to be subjected to religious influence in school," they write.

Angler dies after swallowing fish

Perfectly awesome...

The man was fishing with friends on a beach in Icapui, in Brazil's northeastern state of Ceara, when he reeled in a small sole fish, according to police. The fishermen then reportedly made a bizarre bet with his friends that he would be able to hold the slippery fish between his teeth for a minute. But no sooner had he put the fish into his mouth that it escaped and swam down his throat, getting lodged in the man's windpipe. Despite suffocating, the angler managed to get to his car and drive to a hospital two miles away. But when he arrived there at 11am on Sunday he collapsed and died before doctors could save him.

Teen guilty of manslaughter sentenced to go to church for 10 years

I know going to church is a sentence in itself, but what the fuck kind of law is that?

An Oklahoma teen was sentenced to a decade of attending church for manslaughter. Tyler Alred, 17, pleaded guilty Tuesday to first-degree manslaughter for a car accident that resulted in his friend’s death. John Dum, 16, was pronounced dead at the scene after Alred, who had been drinking, crashed his pickup truck into a tree last December, authorities said. But Muskogee County Judge Mike Norman handed down a lighter sentence than expected: 10 years in the church pews rather a jail cell. This deferred sentence is contingent upon Alred also completing high school and welding school. The victim’s family and Alred’s attorney agreed to these terms. Nevertheless, the sentence generated controversy for mixing church with state matters.

Christian calendar is wrong, says Pope: Blundering sixth-century monk was several years out in calculation of Jesus's birth date

The Christian calendar is based on a blunder by a sixth-century monk who was several years out in his calculation of Jesus’s birth date, the Pope has claimed. Benedict XVI blames the ‘mistake’ on Dionysius Exiguus, who is credited with inventing the modern calendar based on the Anno Domini (AD) era. The Pope’s views are revealed in the final part of his three-volume work on the life of Jesus, published yesterday.

Östermalm deaths likely murder-suicide

On Monday, police were called to an apartment on Styrmansgatan in Östermalm where they found the bodies of a man in his fifties and an 11-year-old boy. At first police were tight-lipped about the case, but details have emerged which paint a picture of a 53-year-old father who was having trouble managing several issues in his life. "It appears as if he killed the boy and then took his own life," an anonymous source told the Aftonbladet newspaper. Police arrived at apartment after a call from concerned friend of the 53-year-old who had been unable to reach the man. As the 53-year-old was a registered gun-owner, police brought a negotiator with them, but found the man and his son already dead inside the flat. A week prior, the man had been behaving "out of balance" and visited a doctor who told him "not to do anything stupid", Aftonbladet reported. The man, who had a career in finance but was currently unemployed, was facing trial on charges that he had abused an ex-girlfriend and her 15-year-old son.

Four Killed On Reservation In North Dakota Indian Territory

Four killed on reservation in New Town, North Dakota. According to timesunion.com, the FBI are investigating the shooting deaths of a woman and her three grandchildren on an American Indian reservation called the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation. The FBI is leading the investigation because the federal government has jurisdiction over crimes in Indian Country. Martha Johnson, 64, and three of her grandchildren were gunned down in her New Town home Sunday afternoon while Martha’s husband was out hunting. One of the children managed to escape, call 911, and was not hurt. The suicide hours later of a man described as a person of interest in the killings has prompted the FBI to release a statement saying they do not believe there is any further threat to the public. Mountrail County Sheriff Ken Halvorson said an unnamed New Town man in his 20s killed himself with a knife. “It happened in front of a deputy and a highway patrolman,” Halvorson said of the suicide.

"In the confidential section of the investigation we have material which indicates she used them in sexual situations," the prosecutor told the TT news agency.

Woman dubbed 'The Ice Cold Killer' accused of murdering her husband and lover and burying their dismembered bodies in cellar

A woman dubbed 'The Ice Cold Killer' is accused of murdering both her husband and lover and then burying their dismembered bodies in the cellar. Austria has been gripped by the trial of ice-cream seller Goidsargi Estibaliz 'Esti' Carranza which began yesterday in Vienna amid a sea of publicity. It is the third criminal investigation featuring basements in Austria in recent years, following on from the Natascha Kampusch and Josef Fritzl cases. Prosecutors in Vienna yesterday dubbed her 'singularly cold-blooded' as they described how the men in her life were killed, their bodies hacked up with a chain saw, bagged into plastic rubbish sacks and then cemented in concrete next to the ice cream tubs in her cellar. Carranza, who has joint Spanish-Mexican citizenship, is charged with shooting dead her husband, Holger Holz, in 2008 and in 2010 her new partner, Manfred Hinterberger, with a .22 Beretta pistol.

Priest beats up fellow cleric in street brawl

Father Jean-Marie Perrin, 71, former priest of the town of Maixe, 10 kilometers from victim Father François Geoffroy’s parish, gave himself up to the police last Monday. He admitted to pushing Father Geoffroy, 75, to the ground, hitting him on the face and beating him. Father Geoffroy had been on his way to his car after a meeting at about 11pm on 8 November, and was taken to hospital after where he was ordered to take three days’ rest. “In the fight I tried to take off the stocking which was covering his face, but there was a second one underneath,” Father Geoffroy said to local paper Est Republicain. “This was someone whom knew I was in the meeting. In the end he had to give himself up because of an article which revealed the attacker had lost his watch.” Father Geoffroy seems to be clear on Father Perrin’s motive for the attack: “[Father Perrin] was the priest of Maixe for 30 years before he quit and I was given the parish. “There were tensions between us, differences of opinion on how to organise the Parish. He was always very rigorous, very rigid, strict, dogmatic.”

Mother 'shot with Taser FIFTEEN times as her own pregnant daughter robs her of $40,000 engagement ring'

A pregnant woman helped an assailant to repeatedly shoot her own mother with a stun gun so the pair could steal her jewels and cash, a court has heard. Expectant mother Julie Franck allegedly donned a ski mask to conceal her identity as her mother was attacked by an unknown accomplice outside her home. The mystery shooter fired a stun gun around 15 times at Franck's 55-year-old mother outside a block of flats on North Marshfield Avenue, Bucktown, Chicago, on October 9th. The pair then allegedly stole her $40,000 3.5-carat diamond engagement ring and $200 in cash. Cook County bond court heard the pair also took credit and debit cards, the Chicago Tribune reports. A witness was able to pull off Franck's ski mask before the duo sped off in a Smart Car after the robbery, the court was told. Franck's mother was treated for her injuries at Resurrection St. Mary of Nazareth Hospital.

Father jailed for killing baby son

The man’s wife was also sentenced to a suspended three-year jail term for her failure to intervene to protect the infant. “The baby ended up dying as a result of the violence of his father and the indifference of his mother,” the prosecutor in the case said, according to a French-language report from AFP. The sentence comes more than three years after the child died. On November 10th 2009, a couple of friends of the mother came to visit her and her husband at the hotel room where they lived in Evry, a suburb south of Paris. In a bedroom they discovered the baby, inert and covered in bruises. They sought explanations in vain from the parents and later alerted police who arrived only to find that the baby was dead. An autopsy showed the baby had suffered from traumatic brain injuries and burst eardrums. The baby’s face was covered in bruises.

Florida man, refused sex, chops off most of girlfriend’s nose

A sexually frustrated Florida man chopped off most of his girlfriend’s nose when she refused to have intercourse with him, cops said. Ricardo Salamanca of Plantation, Fla. has been charged with aggravated battery and is currently sitting in jail on a $75,000 bond.

When he returned to their home later that evening, he asked his girlfriend for sex, according to a complaint affidavit. She wouldn’t put out and Salamanca started getting belligerent — yelling, pushing her down, and trying to place her in a chokehold. The girlfriend said she remembers being thrown across the room, which was the moment she noticed she was bleeding from her face, according to authorities who spoke with NBC Miami. "That's what you deserve, bitch," Salamanca reportedly said to the girlfriend.

Mexican monk jailed for abusing French teen

A French court on Monday sentenced a Mexican monk to two years in jail for sexually abusing a high school student, just nine months after his conviction for molesting a 12-year-old boy. The 42-year-old monk, identified as Luigi, belonged to the Confreries des Freres Saint-Jean order. He was already under judicial supervision and had been restrained from leaving the abbey at Fley, near the town of Cluny in eastern France after receiving an 18-month suspended sentence for molesting a 12-year-old boy. He had denied that charge but did not appeal. The second sentencing came after a 17-year-old complained that the monk had plied him with beer spiked with drugs and then taken him to a hotel room and sexually abused him in May last year. The monk denied that charge as well.
