After a hospital visit to his friend's hospital bound son, a man invented hospital bed sheets with 50 educational board games to keep kids occupied and educate them when they are stuck in bed.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
After visiting a friend's sick child in the hospital, Kevin Gatlin had an incredible idea - to create a way for hospitalized kids to learn and have fun while stuck in bed all day. Now, his company, Playtime Edventures, is entertaining kids all over the country, regardless of their circumstances.

The idea to make game-themed bed sheets came from a visit to the hospital, but was sparked by a family tradition. "Because of space, my wife would use our son's bed as a desk," Gatlin, who is from Charlotte, North Carolina, told CBS News. "They would do homework, play games or just watch movies. But, it wasn't until I visited a friend whose son had been hospitalized for a long period of time did I realize that there was very little stimulation for kids confined to their hospital beds and rooms."

Gatlin's mother is a retired teacher, and she suggested making the games on the bed sheets educational. Gatlin enlisted the help of three teachers, a child physiologist and a family doctor to create Playtime Therapy Bed Sheets, which "provide kids a place where they could play, learn, sleep and heal." According to Gatlin, it took more than two years to design the sheets, which have over 50 interactive games printed on them.

Each part of the bedding supports different types of learning. The pillows feature images and sentences that encourage kids to create stories. The flat sheet features giant board games, positive affirmations and colorful shapes.

The fitted sheet is covered in mazes, word finding puzzles, games like checkers and tic-tac-toe, four different languages, math, grammar and geography.

"I wanted the sheets to have so many things for kids to do that they would never get bored playing with them," Gatlin said. For game pieces, kids can use ordinary objects like coins or paper, or printable cut-outs from the Playtime Edventures website.

Donating has always been an important part of the company - Gatlin's first order of bedding was donated to the Charlotte Salvation Army for Women and Children. Now, people all over the country buy the bedding to donate to children's hospitals and hospices, shelters, juvenile centers, orphanages, group homes and summer camps. Bed sheets can even be purchased at a reduced cost and directly donated to hospitals and shelters.

Gatlin said the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive from both parents and hospital staff. "I'm truly happy my bedsheets have provided a valuable service to those who deserve it," he said. "The blessings in life come from giving not receiving."

Gatlin still has a few more ideas on how his bed sheets can reach even more people. "I would love the opportunity to speak with the Red Cross and Fema about providing our bed sheets during natural disasters," he said. "Seeing families confined to shelters with nothing to do - I believe our bed sheets could provide some distraction during those hard times."

A Virginia man was arrested last week for shooting two people because they disagreed on his argument of "Chevy vs Ford". Reports indicate that drugs and alcohol may be involved.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A Virginia man was arrested last week after he allegedly shot two people because they seemingly disagreed on a topic: which is better, a Che vy or a Ford?

Mark Turner, 56, was taken into custody on April 23 after the incident, which took place the night before. Turner, his girlfriend, his girlfriend's son and the son's girlfriend were eating dinner at a home in Bedford, a city roughly 28 miles east of Roanoke, when the group went out to the front yard.

Soon, an argument broke out between Turner and his girlfriend's son, WSET reported. The two couldn't agree on whether Chevrolet or Ford vehicles were better.

Turner allegedly whipped out a knife during his argument, a situation which Turner's girlfriend tried to deescalate. According to the Bedford County Commonwealth's Attorney Wes Nance, Turner's girlfriend was stabbed with the knife in her lower back, sustaining a six-inch wound.

The man then retrieved a gun from inside the home. When his girlfriend again put herself between Turner and her son, Turner allegedly shot her in the leg five times, and shot her son in the arm.

Two of Turner's bullets that ricocheted ended up hitting the son's girlfriend in the back and in her cheek.

Prosecutors alleged that Turner then barricaded himself inside the home, continually leaving to shout at police. Investigators ultimately shot Turner with a bean bag round and took him into custody.

Nance said that alcohol might've been involved. Search warrants reportedly indicated that "there was possible drug activity at the residence."

Turner was charged with felony malicious wounding, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and possession of a firearm by a felon following the shooting, according to online records.

A woman and her family were talking to a Envoy Air employee about a missing bag after their flight got redirected, when the employee learned that her husband is a cop. The employee called her husband a "killer"

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
American Airlines has said it is taking action to rectify an "extremely concerning" incident partially captured on video at the Memphis International Airport.

New Jersey resident Theresia Tirado claims she and her family were inquiring about a missing bag after their flight was redirected to Memphis, only for her husband to be called a "killer" by an Envoy Air employee after the man learned that her spouse was a police officer. (Envoy Air is a wholly-owned subsidiary of American Airlines Group, according to its website.)
PASSENGER CLAIMS MAN KISSED, SPIT ON HER DURING FLIGHT
Tirado said the Envoy employee was not helpful, and admitted that her husband subsequently told the man he was "basically useless to us," according to WREG.

The Envoy employee then began telling Tirado and her husband that his children were doctors and lawyers, she claims, prompting her husband to inform the man that he was a police officer.

"And he said, 'You're a cop. That means you're a killer,'" she told WREG.

In footage captured by Tirado's husband, the agent can be seen telling Tirado, "He might kill me," and also addressing her husband directly, saying, "You might kill me. Because you're a police officer, you called me useless."

Tirado said the man's words were "the most offensive thing ever," especially considering the couple was traveling with their two children.

In a statement obtained by Fox News, American Airlines has confirmed that it had reached out to Tirado and her family, though the carrier did not say whether any disciplinary action was being taken against the Envoy Air team member.

"We apologize to the Tirados regarding the interaction they had with an Envoy team member at MEM during their travels last month. What we see in the video is extremely concerning: In our culture, every interaction with a customer or team member should be grounded in respect. That's not what we saw here," the airline wrote.

"As soon as we became aware of the issue, we reached out to Mrs. Tirado directly to let her know that we take this very seriously. We have spoken to both Officer and Mrs. Tirado and have assured them that we are taking steps to make things right with them and ensure this doesn't happen again."

In Houston a one year old boy was shot while driving down a high way. The father who was driving pulled over to gas station to get help. The man who shot the boy still have not be identified. The boy is in stable condition at a hospital.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A 1-year-old boy has been injured in an apparent road rage shooting in Houston, police said.

The boy's father was driving on the Southwest Freeway in southwest Houston on Wednesday around 1:15 p.m. when the suspect fired his gun at least once, striking the child in the upper shoulder near his neck, a spokeswoman for the Houston Police Department told reporters.

The incident appears to have sparked after the father accidentally cut off the suspect, Houston Police Assistant Chief James Jones told reporters. The vehicles did not come in contact with each other, and the father even tried to apologize to the suspect for cutting him off, Jones said.

The father then pulled into a Phillips 66 gas station and ran inside with the baby, police said. Once inside, he called for help and tried to help his son stay alert and awake, the spokeswoman said.

The father was frantic as he carried his bleeding child into the store, a witness told KTRK.

Another child was also inside the car, ABC Houston station KTRK reported. A female passenger was inside the suspect's vehicle at the time, the spokeswoman said.

The toddler was transported to the Texas Children's Hospital and is in stable condition, the spokeswoman said.

Jones described the shooting as a "tragedy."

"Sometimes people don't think and react," he said. "It makes no sense at all."

Police have not yet identified a suspect, but investigators are searching for a newer model of a light blue Toyota Camry or Honda Accord, Jones said.

The Houston Police Department's homicide unit is investigating the case since a 1-year-old was involved, the spokeswoman said.

Additional details were not immediately available.

Marshawn Lynch, veteran running back, said he would return to the Oakland Raiders if they need him to.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Veteran running back Marshawn Lynch would return to the Raiders if the team wanted to bring him back, according to a person familiar with Lynch's thinking. The Oakland native, 33, would only return to the NFL to play for the Raiders, according to that person.

There has been speculation that Lynch would retire since his contract expired after last season and he has not been re-signed by Oakland.

Lynch, who started his career in Buffalo then had a strong career and two Super Bowl appearances with the Seahawks, retired after the 2015 season. He returned in 2017 to the Raiders, citing the opportunity to play for his hometown team as a key reason for playing again. He signed a two-year deal and rushed for 1,267 yards and 10 touchdowns with Oakland before sustaining a season-ending groin injury after six games in 2018.

The Raiders have made a series of moves that indicate they plan to move on from Lynch, most recently signing veteran Doug Martin and drafting Alabama running back Josh Jacobs in the first round. Oakland also had signed free-agent running back Isaiah Crowell, but Crowell sustained what will be a season-ending Achilles injury earlier this week, per NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.

After 25 years of playing this sport I love so much, and 11 years in the NFL I'm officially hanging up my cleats for the last time today. I thank God for giving me the opportunity to play this game at the highest level and every friend and family member that has helped me with my personal development along the way. Big thanks to Memorial High School, THE University Texas 🤘🏾, and the Kansas City Chiefs for taking a chance on a kid from Port Arthur, Texas. Thanks to all of my teammates, coaches, and mentors that has helped because there is absolutely no way I could've gotten this far alone. HUGE thanks to my beautiful and loving wife Whitney(and my kids) for the support through thick and thin in my career because I know I wasn't the easiest to deal with lol. To all the kids I've inspired along the way, please know that you all inspired me far more than you will ever know and motivated me to keep going. Last but not least, CHIEFS NATION, I'm forever indebted to you all as you are the BEST FAN BASE IN THE WORLD!! Love always, J. Charles #25 OOHHHOOOOHHHOOO OOHHHOOOHHHOOO #CHIEFSNATION #HOOKEM #PORTARTHURTX

A post shared by Jamaal Charles (@djcharles25) on

Charles, 32, played nine seasons for the Chiefs after being selected in the third round (73rd overall) of the 2008 NFL draft and was a four-time Pro Bowl selection and two-time first-team All-Pro with Kansas City. He is the franchise's all-time leading rusher with 7,260 yards.

Kansas City released him in February 2017 and he played for the Denver Broncos (in 2017, appearing in 14 games) and Jacksonville Jaguars (2018, for two games) the past two seasons, rushing for 303 yards on just 75 carries.

He finishes his career with 7,563 yards, 56th on the NFL's all-time rushing list. His career average of 5.4 yards per carry is ranked first all-time among rushers with at least 1,000 carries.

Charles twice had to overcome ACL injuries, in 2011 and 2015, missing 14 games in '11 and 24 games in '15 and '16 combined. He bounced back nicely after the first ACL injury, setting his career high with 1,509 rushing yards in 2012. In 2013 he set his career high in touchdowns with 19 (12 rushing and seven receiving).

However, he was unable to fully rebound from his second ACL injury. He played just three games in the '16 season before being placed on injured reserve with knee soreness and later undergoing arthroscopic surgery.

Teams of volunteers have picked up an estimated 6,600 pounds off of Mount Everest. They have a goal to pick up 22,000 by the end of the month. Their job has been getting easier, because of the melting snow, that reveals dead bodies and the amount of trash.

You don't need a map to get to the Everest base camp, just follow the trash, says climber Dragana Rajblovic.

Interested in Mount Everest?

Add Mount Everest as an interest to stay up to date on the latest Mount Everest news, video, and analysis from ABC News.

Rajblovic knows what she's talking about: She's the only Balkan woman to have conquered Mount Everest.

To date, 5,200 men and women have climbed to the peak of the world's highest mountain, according to Ang Tshering Sherpa, former president of the Nepal Mountaineering Association. Another 775 are planning to test themselves against the 29,029-foot mountain this year.

And all of them have brought -- or will bring -- many pounds of gear with them to enable their weeks-long ascent to Everest's summit. But what goes up, does not necessarily come down. Much of it gets left behind.

According to the Everest Summiteers Association, which has, in recent years, taken tons of debris off the mountain, there are still about 30 tons of trash left on the mountain.

AP Photo/Tashi Sherpa

Since April 14, New Year's Day on the Nepalese calendar, teams of volunteers have picked up an estimated 6,600 pounds, most of it simple trash or human waste. But more than a ton of non-biodegradable waste -- oxygen canisters, torn-up tents, plastics and left-over mountaineering gear -- has been flown to the capital of Kathmandu by Nepali Army helicopters for disposal.

Their goal is to pick up 22,000 pounds of trash by the end of their 45-day campaign on May 29, the 66th anniversary of the first successful summit of Everest by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay. The campaign is estimated to cost 23 million Nepalese rupees, about $206,540, according to Nepal's Department of Tourism.

This is the first time that all stakeholders have come together to clean up the world's highest peak, Dandu Raj Ghimire, director general of the tourism department, told ABC News.

''I don't even know who they are, there are so many groups doing the cleaning-up campaign,'' said Ang Tshering. ''I have been amazed at coming across so many ordinary people, NGOs and military picking up garbage."

Awang Zhaxi/Xinhua via AP

Their job has, unfortunately, been made easier by global warming. The melting snow and ice are exposing dead bodies as well as all that debris.

"Snow and glaciers are fast-melting," Ang Tshering told ABC News.

"In 2017, seven bodies were found by climbers who were trying to clean up Everest, as well as 15 tons of human waste and many more tons of trash," he said.

At least 303 people have died attempting to climb the mountain, according to Ang Tshering, who is a fourth-generation sherpa, or guide.

The cleanup may only be a temporary solution to the garbage problem. With 775 fresh climbers this season, and thousands more in the years to come, the abandoned waste piles will only grow. The Government of Nepal now demands that each climber deposit $4,000, which is refundable only if the climber brings down at least 17.6 pounds of trash on his or her way off the mountain.

AP Photo/Niranjan Shrestha

But even that may not stem the garbage tide, given that a "guided climb" up and down Everest can cost as much as $100,000. A $4,000 garbage tax may feel like "tip money."

Still, Ghimire said failure is not an option for a mission "to restore glory to the mountain."

"Everest," he said, "is not just the crown of the world, but our pride."

Tirado said the man's words were "the most offensive thing ever," especially considering the couple was traveling with their two children.

In a statement obtained by Fox News, American Airlines has confirmed that it had reached out to Tirado and her family, though the carrier did not say whether any disciplinary action was being taken against the Envoy Air team member.

"We apologize to the Tirados regarding the interaction they had with an Envoy team member at MEM during their travels last month. What we see in the video is extremely concerning: In our culture, every interaction with a customer or team member should be grounded in respect. That's not what we saw here," the airline wrote.

Police are investigating the death of a woman who died shortly after she got into a fight over a parking spot.

The son of the victim identified the deceased as Lourdes Estremera, and she is believed to have gotten into a dispute with a neighbor over a parking spot near their homes.

"She wound up collapsing with the paramedics and the police there," her son Christian Rosa told ABC station WPVI. "Unfortunately, she's not here no more."

"We lost our compass," Rosa told WPVI.

Citing unidentified authorities, the Associated Press reported on Tuesday that Estremera had set up a barbecue in a parking spot, and that the other woman drove up and wanted to use the spot for her car.

The Philadelphia Police Department put out a statement about the incident.

"A 57-year-old female victim had physical altercation with another female over parking spot," officials said in a statement.

The police spokesperson was unable to give further description of the nature of the physical altercation, or the injuries sustained during the fight.

The spokesperson did add that "while talking to the officers she became unresponsive and started bleeding from her nose."

In the initial statement, police noted that medics were requested to the scene when the victim became unresponsive, and that the victim was pronounced dead at the scene at 10:00 p.m. by the responding medics.

The police are currently classifying the incident as a homicide.
