Tay-K (real name Taymor Travon McIntyre) will face a second murder charge, according to a report from My San Antonio. XXL confirmed the report with Tarrant County Jail on Friday.

The new charge is unrelated to the murder case McIntyre is currently awaiting trial for - the murder of 21-year-old Ethan Walker, who was killed on July 27, 2016 during a home invasion. The new case surrounds the death of Mark Anthony Saldivar, a 23-year-old man who was shot and killed on April 23, 2017 outside of a San Antonio Chick-fil-A following an argument with four individuals inside of a black SUV. Police claim that McIntyre was inside of the vehicle at the time of the shooting, and that surveillance footage of the incident exists.

Tay-K achieved online stardom after dropping a music video for his song "The Race." The clip was allegedly filmed after McIntyre had ditched a hearing in the Walker murder case, and features a shot of McIntyre next to what appears to be a wanted poster of himself. McIntyre was arrested in New Jersey in June 2017 and is currently being held at the Tarrant County Jail. According to the Fort Worth Star Telegram, sources in law enforcement claimed that McIntyre was suspected in Saldivar's death before his arrest.

McIntyre faces two counts of capitol murder and one count of aggravated robbery, according to the jail's website. The latter charge stems from an attack on 65-year-old Skip Pep e, who police claim McIntyre and a friend beat and robbed while McIntyre was on the run. He will be tried as an adult in Walker's shooting and in the Pepe incident.

"The Race" has been viewed 64 million times on YouTube and has peaked at number 44 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The FADER has reached out to McIntyre's attorney for comment.

Everyone that knew Stephen found it hard to believe that he killed 48 Lisa Crawford, a loving caring friend of Stephen Paddock, stated, "He actually cared about everybody." She had last spoken with him a few weeks ago when he check to make sure she was okay from all the hurricanes.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The man accused of carrying out last week's deadly mass shooting in Las Vegas was a caring person who tried his best to "make people happy," a friend and longtime employee of Stephen Paddock told ABC News' " Good Morning America " today.

"He actually cared about everybody," Lisa Crawford, who worked for Paddock managing an apartment he owned from 2006 to 2012, said.

"He tried to make people happy; he tried to make people care and I don't know what happened to him," the Dallas woman said as she fought to hold back her tears.

She said the 64-year-old accountant who apparently killed himself after the massacre was a close friend, describing him as a humorous person who was generous with his tenants.

She said she found it hard to believe that he could be capable of carrying out the Oct. 1 mass shooting on the Las Vegas Strip, which left 59 dead, including Paddock, and at least 480 others injured.

She said she last spoke with him via email a few weeks ago when he checked on her to make sure she was OK during Hurricanes Harvey and Irma. Crawford also shared images of her posing as a grinning Paddock embraced her warmly.

"I have read them over and over and over again," Crawford said of her email conversations with Paddock. "I've even looked at some photos online of, I guess, him and his girlfriend; you know I was even trying to look into his eyes to see if I saw something that wasn't normal, you know. No, I didn't see anything."

Crawford said she has spoken with FBI agents and police officers about their friendship as authorities work to figure out a possible motive in the deadly attack.

"I want closure for these people," Crawford said today. "I can't believe that the person that I knew would even consider hurting somebody. I want so bad to have answers for people. I want to solve this. I want us to do whatever I can to tell the authorities to look here, look there."

The Las Vegas Police Department said authorities responded to a room on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel, where Paddock was found dead. Authorities said they believe Paddock killed himself prior to police entry.

Police, according to multiple law enforcement officials, still have found no definitive evidence to prove Paddock had an accomplice, and have not nailed down a definitive motive.

Crawford said she had an emotional breakdown after the massacre, adding that she feels "guilty" for having known Paddock.

"I have cried for those people, so many times I almost feel like I'm out of tears sometimes," she said. "It could have been my mom, my children."

QB Trubisky injects hope and optimism in Bears' offense

The numbers weren't overly impressive in his starting debut, but the Bears had a different feel with Mitchell Trubisky running the offense on Monday.

CHICAGO - The Bears are in much better hands with Mitchell Trubisky at the controls.

You could tell immediately on Monday night that Trubisky was a better choice to run the offense.

The players knew it. The crowd knew it. The fans watching at home knew it.

The offense had a different feel with Trubisky at quarterback.

The Bears used to say that former starter Mike Glennon won before the snap -a nod to Glennon's experience and pre-snap awareness -- but Trubisky allows Chicago to win after the snap.

Why?

Mobility. Lots of it.

As expected, Bears offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains called rollouts and bootlegs for Trubisky to maximize not only his quickness and athleticism outside the pocket, but also his accuracy.

It's too bad that some of Trubisky's best passes were ruined because of drops or penalties.

But the Bears are still the Bears - John Fox has now lost 27 of 37 games in Chicago.

One player isn't going to fix everything overnight.

Still, Trubisky - just like he displayed in the preseason - can be effective when rolling to the right where he can fit throws into very tight windows.

That being said, Trubisky wasn't perfect - far from it.

The second overall pick committed two costly turnovers - something he must eliminate if the Bears have a shot at winning these close games - and his fourth quarter interception gift wrapped the Vikings 20-17 victory.

But Trubisky showed enough to give people hope. He definitely wasn't overwhelmed by the moment.

And that's what Chicago fans needed to see.

In reality, the Bears were only in the game because of their defense and special teams - raise your hand if you thought punter Pat O'Donnell would have the first touchdown pass in the Trubisky era - but Trubisky's skills make you wonder what he could accomplish with better weapons at wide receiver.

That help is not on the way anytime soon - unfortunately.

For now, the Bears want steady growth over the final 11 weeks.

Trubisky started a nice little foundation on Monday night.

Now he must build on it.

Gary Anderson, what used to be the head coach for Oregon State decided to part ways and left $12.6 M "on the table".

Gary Andersen is no longer the head coach at Oregon State after the two sides mutually agreed to part ways, according to an email obtained by Amy Schwartz of Beaver Blitz.

Assistant coach Cory Hall will be the team's interim coach for the remainder of the 2017 season.

The Beavers are 1-5 on the season, including 0-3 in the Pac-12.

The team confirmed the decision in an official release on the team's site.

"I thank Gary for his many contributions to our student-athletes, OSU Athletics and Oregon State University," Athletic Director Scott Barnes said. "OSU football has advanced significantly in many ways during Gary's tenure here, including in our facilities and student-athlete academic performance. This program is poised for success on and off the field."

Things have not gone according to plan for Andersen on the field since leaving Wisconsin for the Beavers in 2015. After accumulating a 19-7 record in two seasons with the Badgers, he was just 6-18 in his first two seasons at Oregon State before struggling mightily this season.

The only win this season came against Portland State while each of the five losses were decided by more than 20 points.

On the other hand, Darren Rovell of ESPN noted the money Andersen gave up from leaving his position:

Oregon State will now be in the hands of Hall for the rest of the season, who had been the cornerback coach until now. He has also spent time on the staffs of Weber State, Washington State and Wisconsin, although his last head coaching job was at Clovis North High School in California for three years.

Hall also spent six years in the NFL as a safety for the Atlanta Falcons and Cincinnati Bengals.

At least 11 dead as fires rage in Northern California

Katie Evans, 37, a mother of six, was hit head-on by a reckless driver that hit a curb and sideswiped another vehicle before crashing into her.

A mother in California died Friday in an apparent DUI crash as she was returning home from visiting her premature twin baby girls in an intensive care unit.

Katie Evans, 37, a mother of six, was hit head-on by a reckless driver that hit a curb and sideswiped another vehicle before crashing into her, the Santa Clarita Valley Signa l reported. Evans was pronounced dead at the scene.

She was less than a mile away from her home.

Police said alcohol was found in the car that hit Evans and believe it played a role in the crash.

The 22-year-old woman driver that killed the mother of twins was detained on suspicion of misdemeanor DUI, but later released "pending further charges," The Signal reported.

The mother was on her way back home following the visit of her premature twin baby girls, Sarah and Hannah. They both are less than eight weeks old.

"She was traveling home late at night after visiting her baby girls at the hospital ... and she was hit," Evans' sister-in-law, Caralee, told PEOPLE. "They said her body was thrown from the vehicle. It was pretty mangled."

A YouCaring fundraising page aimed at raising $500,000 was set up after the tragedy. It so far raised more than $190,000.

Evan's husband, Jacob, will now have to take care of the other four children aged from 2 to 12 in addition to the twin baby girls who are expected to survive despite the premature birth.

"We have a rough road ahead of us, trying to figure out how to handle everything," Jacob's brother, Michael, told PEOPLE. "The outpouring of support from the community, from the internet, from our local church, from neighbors ... it has been absolutely overwhelming."

Wildlife fires rushed through 3 counties of California. Around 11 people have been killed. At least 1500 structures turned to ashes. They say this could be the most deadliest wildfire in states history.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A swarm of fires supercharged by powerful winds ripped through Napa, Sonoma and Mendocino counties Monday, killing at least 10 people, injuring dozens of others, destroying more than 1,500 homes and businesses, and turning prominent wineries to ash.

Starting in the middle of the night, the fires hopscotched across neighborhoods, raced across fields and jumped freeways. Wind gusts up to 70 mph pushed walls of flames nearly 100 feet high, throwing embers ahead like hot fingers into strip malls and subdivisions. Many people who fled the surge had enough time to grab car keys, perhaps a pet, but not much more.

And some didn't get out. Sonoma County sheriff's officials said seven people had died in that county. Two people died in a blaze in Napa, state fire officials said. A 10th person was killed in Mendocino County.

Facing one of the most damaging series of blazes in modern California history - fires that left thousands of evacuees in scores of emergency shelters and parts of the wine industry potentially crippled - Gov. Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency for Napa and Sonoma counties as well as fire-struck Yuba County. The move will make it easier for local and state officials to secure government aid.

The blazes blackened more than 65,000 acres and blanketed much of the Bay Area in cough-inducing smoke. And it wasn't just the North Bay that was hit hard.

In Mendocino County, sheriff's Capt. Gregory Van Patten said flames darted early Monday from the community of Potter Valley through rugged terrain to the west as wind gusts downed trees and power lines. The speed of the fire, he said, left little time for escape in Redwood Valley, a town of 2,000 people located about 8 miles north of Ukiah.

He said at least one person had died, and that the number could rise.

"It looks like we will have multiple fatalities," Van Patten said. "There were areas where there just wasn't enough time to give an evacuation notice because the spread of the fire was so rapid. A lot of the area was overcome before we got ourselves injected into the situation."

To the south, more than 100 people were treated for injuries, including burns and smoke inhalation, at hospitals in Napa and Sonoma counties. Two patients with severe burns were in critical condition at Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital, officials said.

Hundreds of firefighters streamed into the region. The California Highway Patrol said it had used helicopters to rescue 42 people, some of them vineyard workers. Those saved from the flames range in age from 5 to 91.

But Chief Ken Pimlott of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said crews had "limited or no containment" on the fires as of Monday afternoon, and that many communities "were just overrun."

Officials were looking into the cause of the fires.

Residents in the hardest-hit areas described fleeing for their lives in the middle of the night, in cars or on foot, amid a disaster that stood as another stark reminder of the peril of wildfires in California at the end of the long dry season.

"It's not uncommon to have multiple fires burning," Pimlott said. "But I can certainly tell you it's becoming more of the norm now to have multiple large, damaging fires now like we're seeing today. These are the conditions we continue to talk about that California is experiencing."

One of the most aggressive fires roared in the Atlas Peak area of Napa County, a famed winemaking spot northeast of the city of Napa and the Silverado Trail. Two people were killed, officials with Cal Fire said. Their names and circumstances of their deaths were not immediately known.

At least 50 structures and more than 25,000 acres burned. Signorello Estate, a winery on Silverado Trail, was ruined, and buildings at nearby Stag's Leap Winery burned, too. Several homes were destroyed on Soda Canyon Road.

Guests of the Silverado Resort and Spa on Atlas Peak Road said they escaped in a rush late Sunday, just before midnight, as flames approached. The resort had hosted the Safeway Open, a PGA Tour event, which ended Sunday.

"We were sleeping, but we kept smelling smoke," said Chris Thomas, 42, of Kirkland, Wash., who arrived in the Napa Valley late Sunday with his wife, Marissa Schneider, for a wine-tasting trip. They saw a fire truck pass, then were ordered to leave by loudspeaker. The power went out.

"It was surreal," Thomas said. "When I started loading stuff into the car, it was a hell-storm of smoke and ash. There were 30- to 40-mph winds. I couldn't even breathe, so I ran back to the unit to get Marissa. It was so smoky I went to the wrong unit. When I found her I said, 'Forget it, let's just go.' It went from being an annoying evacuation to something really scary."

They drove to downtown Napa and found a hotel room, wary of being evacuated again. The Silverado Resort and Spa somehow survived, a representative later said, and all staffers and guests got out safely.

The series of fires began to ignite Sunday and multiplied as the night went on. One damaging fire ignited north of Carneros, and another near Kenwood, east of Santa Rosa in Sonoma County. There, dozens of homes, farms and cars burned along Highway 12.

Perhaps the worst damage came in the jagged path of a blaze that slammed into northern Santa Rosa called the Tubbs Fire, which had burned at least 25,000 acres by Monday afternoon. The fire started Sunday in Calistoga and burned west through canyons and over hills, feeding on dry eucalyptus and pine trees in wooded, upscale neighborhoods.

Many homes were lost in the Fountaingrove area east of Highway 101, and the Journey's End Mobile Home Park for seniors was flattened. The Fountaingrove Inn burned, as did a Hilton hotel and the popular Willi's Wine Bar. The Luther Burbank Center for the Arts and Cardinal Newman High School suffered serious damage.

Coffey Park, a 1980s-era subdivision just northwest of downtown Santa Rosa where 7,000 people lived, was leveled. Most of the homes burned, along with a Kmart, a McDonald's, an Arby's and an Applebee's.

Among those who left the area as the flames bore down were 11 members of the Flores family, who woke up and piled into two vehicles with four dogs after being jolted awake by neighbors. They said the air was thick with smoke and the wind was blowing so hard that trash bins toppled over.

"We couldn't really see anything," said Bradley Flores, 15. "We just got our dogs and got into the car and left. The wind was so bad our car was shaking."

Lance and Barb Cottrell packed suitcases, grabbed prized antiques and headed to a friend's house just in time.

"Our house is probably gone," Lance said. "We just finished it in 2014."

Soon, though, flames jumped west across Highway 101 and raced so fast into their friend's neighborhood that people ran for their lives. Lance jumped in his car and Barb in hers, and they tried to drive away. But they saw a house engulfed in front of them and had to make a U-turn. They ended up stuck in traffic before escaping down country roads west of Santa Rosa, avoiding trees that had blown down.

So vast was the havoc, and so sweeping the evacuations, that Santa Rosa, a city of 175,000 people, was a virtual ghost town from side to side, with most businesses shuttered. Two hospitals in Santa Rosa, those run by Kaiser Permanente and Sutter Health, were evacuated. Some of those transferred from Sutter were pregnant women in labor.

Power failures were widespread. People flocked to gas stations in cities that were safe from the fires, to fuel up and buy water and other supplies. Evacuation centers were set up, then quickly filled, forcing more to open.

Sonoma County officials said emergency dispatchers were "overwhelmed by 911 calls" from residents smelling smoke Monday, saying, "Please only call 911 if you see actual unattended flames." Authorities in Marin and San Francisco counties made the same plea.

On Monday afternoon, families started trickling back into the Coffey Park neighborhood. They stood in front of smoldering rubble, hands covering mouths as they tried to take in the sight. Some held each other and sobbed. Others just shook their heads.

One woman cried as she explained her father's ashes had been in the house. Another sobbed after realizing her beloved turtle was amid the ruins.

A middle school teacher in Georgia is under fire after she allegedly assigned students the task of creating a mascot for the Nazi party.

The homework assignment requested students in a social studies class at Shiloh Middle School, in Gwinnett County, to "think about all of the information that you have learned about Hitler and the Nazi party" and to create a mascot for it, according to Fox 5 Atlanta.

"The year is 1935 and you have been tasked with creating a mascot to represent the Nazi party at its political rallies," the assignment read. "Think about all of the information that you have learned about Hitler and the Nazi party. You will create a COLORFUL illustration of the mascot. Give the mascot a NAME. You will also write an explanation as to why the mascot was chosen to represent the Nazi party."

"When you talk about mascots, mascots are used to be happy, to promote something, a positive representation like UGA [sic] so really we doing a Nazi party mascot? What are we celebrating?" Brown told Fox 5.

The mother added she doesn't feel an assignment about Nazis is appropriate in the U.S.

"I just don't think, right now, at this time and place in America this is the time for that," Brown said. "We need to start looking at the things that bring us together and stop looking at things that separate us as a human race."

Brown added: "I can only imagine the pain of other students the pain of other students that are of Jewish descent that you would be forced to draw something that is absolutely demeaning to not only u but an entire race of people and this nation for fear of getting and for a failing grade."

The Gwinnett County School District said in a statement to Fox 5 Atlanta that while the topic of the Nazi party is studied, the assignment was not appropriate and not approved by the social studies department of the school.

"As outlined in the Georgia Standards of Excellence curriculum for 6th grade social studies, students study the conflict and change in Europe, including the aftermath of World War I, the rise of communism as a result of the Russian Revolution, the Treaty of Versailles, the rise of Nazism, and worldwide depression," the school said. "In studying this time period, they learn about Nazism, the use of propaganda, and events which resulted in the Holocaust.

"This assignment is not a part of the approved materials provided by our Social Studies department and is not appropriate and the school is addressing the use of this assignment with the teacher."

A middle school teacher in Georgia is under fire after she allegedly assigned students the task of creating a mascot for the Nazi party.

The homework assignment requested students in a social studies class at Shiloh Middle School, in Gwinnett County, to "think about all of the information that you have learned about Hitler and the Nazi party" and to create a mascot for it, according to Fox 5 Atlanta.

"The year is 1935 and you have been tasked with creating a mascot to represent the Nazi party at its political rallies," the assignment read. "Think about all of the information that you have learned about Hitler and the Nazi party. You will create a COLORFUL illustration of the mascot. Give the mascot a NAME. You will also write an explanation as to why the mascot was chosen to represent the Nazi party."

Objections to the assignment were raised by parent Jamie Brown, who thought it was inappropriate and questioned its purpose.

"When you talk about mascots, mascots are used to be happy, to promote something, a positive representation like UGA [sic] so really we doing a Nazi party mascot? What are we celebrating?" Brown told Fox 5.

The mother added she doesn't feel an assignment about Nazis is appropriate in the U.S.

"I just don't think, right now, at this time and place in America this is the time for that," Brown said. "We need to start looking at the things that bring us together and stop looking at things that separate us as a human race."

Brown added: "I can only imagine the pain of other students the pain of other students that are of Jewish descent that you would be forced to draw something that is absolutely demeaning to not only u but an entire race of people and this nation for fear of getting and for a failing grade."

The Gwinnett County School District said in a statement to Fox 5 Atlanta that while the topic of the Nazi party is studied, the assignment was not appropriate and not approved by the social studies department of the school.

"As outlined in the Georgia Standards of Excellence curriculum for 6th grade social studies, students study the conflict and change in Europe, including the aftermath of World War I, the rise of communism as a result of the Russian Revolution, the Treaty of Versailles, the rise of Nazism, and worldwide depression," the school said. "In studying this time period, they learn about Nazism, the use of propaganda, and events which resulted in the Holocaust.

"This assignment is not a part of the approved materials provided by our Social Studies department and is not appropriate and the school is addressing the use of this assignment with the teacher."

hackers hacked into school network to get infomation about the students there then sent treatining text message to parents with personal infomation saying that they are going to kill the students.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Parents of children in an Iowa school district were left severely concerned after they received SMS messages from an unknown person or persons threatening to kill students at their childrens' schools. The messages were doubly worrying because they contained personal details about the children, all because hackers had stolen the information from a school network.

Following the receipt of a number of such messages by parents, local law enforcement and school authorities closed all schools in the district the following day. The authorities claimed that it was a difficult decision to make, but citing the safety of children as their number one priority, they felt it was necessary.

It was later discovered that there wasn't much credibility to the threats, following the revelation of a particular hacker group's involvement. The self-proclaimed "thedarkoverlord" group laid claim to the hack on Twitter,stating that it had led to more than 7,000 students staying home due to the threats.

The group later followed this message up with proof by releasing a local student directory, including the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of individuals.

Although the hack does raise concerns about the security of school networks, the purpose of it seems to have been more anarchic in nature than anything else. In a tweet that followed the release of the school directory, those claiming responsibility suggested that the directory could be used by sexual predators (via GrahamCluley).

While such an aim seems abhorrent, the motive for such a statement could be much more straightforward than it might otherwise seem. According to DataBreaches, other schools have also seen threats of violence against students, possibly in an attempt to get the FBI to ease off its investigation of the group. This is the same collective that previously blackmailed organizations like Larson Studios and Netflix.

This hack comes just weeks after the monumental Equifax hack which affected tens of millions of Americans and exposed the personal details of many. Although the school hack was on a much smaller scale, both continue to show that an increased interest in security at all levels of IT infrastructure is incredibly important.
