Students ages 13-12 used Instagram to plot a "Columbine-style" attack on their North Carolina middle school

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Four students at a North Carolina middle school are facing felony charges of communicating threats against a school.

Students as young as 12 and 13 used Instagram to plot a "Columbine-style" attack on their North Carolina middle school thought to be planned for just days after police learned of the threat, law enforcement said.

Four students at Carver Middle School in Laurel Hill, North Carolina, are facing felony charges of communicating threats against a school, Capt. Jessica Sadovnikov of the Scotland County Sheriff's Office told The State, and a total of six students may be involved. The students are between 12 and 13 years old and are both male and female, she said. More charges could be filed.

Sadovnikov said the students messaged each other on Instagram about committing a school shooting and had a hit list identifying a teacher and students they wanted to kill. One of the students mentioned the 1999 Columbine High School school shooting by name in the messages, she said.

Two students told the school staff they believed the the group of students were planning to attack the school on Jan. 25, and a school employee alerted the middle school's resource officer about the Instagram posts, the sheriff's office said, according to Raleigh-based WRAL-TV.

Investigators are conducting interviews and analyzing the students' phones and social media profiles, Sadovnikov told The State.

"We know it was a plan. What we are trying to find out is what was their capability?" Sadovnikov told The State. "There is reasonable suspicion the mastermind had access to weapons, but we haven't confirmed that yet."

Local parents gathered at the school on Tuesday and voiced frustration with officials for almost two hours, WRAL reported. Some parents felt the school system did not give them adequate or timely information about the alleged plot.

Scotland County Schools on Tuesday released a statement saying that law enforcement asked school officials not to release any information to the public about the allegations while the investigation was taking place. However, the sheriff's office Wednesday said it told the school system no such thing, according to WRAL.

Another student, who was not involved in planning the attack, allegedly tried to assault the two students who stepped forward about the Instagram messages, the sheriff's office said.

The student have been removed from the school, and Sadovnikov said she is trying to get all the students put in a juvenile detention facility.

The Pacific island of Niue has a population of around 1,600 people and Trevor became an instant hit with the locals. Because he was blown in by a storm, Trevor was the only duck on the island making him the world's loneliest duck. Unfortunately he was killed by an untamed savage beast during the early hours when he was bathing himself. The locals saying, "Too soon to be taken by a dog."

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Trevor "the world's loneliest duck" has died after being attacked by dogs on the tiny Pacific island of Niue.

The mallard became a celebrity last year when he became the only duck on the island around 1,500 miles (2,400 kilometres) northeast of New Zealand.

Niue doesn't have natural ponds or wetlands so it was believed the mallard had blown in from New Zealand in a storm. He was later dubbed the "world's loneliest duck" for his solitary existence.

Trevor's life was cut short after he was "seen dead in the bush after being attacked by dogs", according to a Facebook page dedicated to the duck.

A follow-up post on the page read: "What a sad way for the journey of Trevor the Duck - Nieu to end.

"He flew/blew to Niue in a storm about a year ago, chose to live in the puddle by the side of the road, won the hearts of so many locals and tourists, he became a global celebrity and promoter of Niue.

"Taken too soon by a dog.

"Rest in peace Trevor - you were a very cool duck!"

The Pacific island has a population of around 1,600 people and Trevor became an instant hit with the locals.

He settled down in a large puddle near a road that the Niue fire service later topped up with water, ABC reported.

When the New Zealand Herald's deputy political editor, Claire Trevett, visited the island she found he had been incorporated into street directions.

She told ABC: "Someone said 'turn right past the duck' and then the whole story came out, the only duck on Niue."

Trevor Mallard, the speaker of New Zealand's House of Representatives, after whom the duck was named, offered his condolences.

He wrote on the duck's Facebook death notice: "Deepest sympathy to the people of Niue from the Parliament of New Zealand."

Rae Findlay, chief executive of the Niue Chamber of Commerce, said it was a "sad time for Niue".

Ms Findlay told ABC on Sunday: "He captivated the locals, of which there are only 1,600 in Niue, and the 9,000 visitors to Niue each year.

"He will definitely be missed, he captured many hearts and even the rooster, the chicken and the weka were looking a little forlorn today wandering around the near-dry puddle."

More Protests took place yesterday to advocate for an end to Nicolás Maduro’s presidency. President Trump also called opposition leader Juan Guaidó, to cement Americas commitment to him. President Trump has also stated that any action by Maduro against Guaidó or Americans could lead to military intervention.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Thousands of Venezuelans took to the streets across the nation on Wednesday to demand an end to Nicolas Maduro's presidency.

The two-hour walkout took place in more than 5,000 places, according to opposition leader, Juan Guaidó, who made a surprise appearance before a cheering crowd at the Central University of Venezuela in Caracas, the capital.

"We are staying in the streets," Guaidó, 35, told students. "Not just because of how bad things are, but also for the future."

The walkout came a week after Guaidó, the leader of the National Assembly, announced he had assumed presidential powers under the constitution and promised to hold fresh elections during a massive rally.

Guaidó was swiftly recognized as the rightful president by the Trump administration and two dozen other countries. Russia, China and Cuba, meanwhile, remain staunch supporters of Maduro.

President Donald Trump spoke to Guaidó by phone Wednesday morning and reaffirmed support for his "fight to regain democracy." They agreed to maintain regular communication.

Venezuela's armed forces is proving to be a deciding factor in the country's future, according to analysts.

Maduro told Moscow's RIA news agency on Wednesday that he is open to talks with the opposition, "so that we could talk for the sake of Venezuela's peace and its future."

Previous rounds of dialogue between the government and the opposition have failed. Opponents are suspicious that Maduro could use talks to calm protesters and buy time.

In the interview, Maduro also said Trump had ordered neighboring Colombia to kill him.

Guaidó: 'Not losing sleep' over recent actions by Maduro

Venezuela's Supreme Court on Tuesday banned Guaidó from leaving the country and froze his financial assets hours after the country's chief prosecutor, Tarek William Saab, announced that he was opening a criminal investigation into Guaidó's anti-government activities. John Bolton, the U.S. National security adviser, warned on Twitter that "there will be serious consequences for those who attempt to subvert democracy and harm Guaidó."

During Wednesday's walkout, Guaidó said he is not losing any sleep over the Supreme Court order. He also said his goal is for those fleeing the South American country's crisis to return home and reclaim their nation.

The moves against Guaidó were in retaliation for oil sanctions the U.S. slapped on Venezuela's state-owned oil company, PDVSA, on Monday. They are likely to have a devastating effect on the country's already crumpled economy.

The Trump administration announced Tuesday it was giving Guaidó control of Venezuela's U.S. bank accounts.

The State Department raised its travel advisory for Venezuela to the highest level, warning Americans not to travel there.

Another round of mass protests are planned for Saturday in different cities around the world.

A policeman in St. Louis is set to appear in court in the coming weeks for the death of his co-worker and partner after they were playing Russian Roulette with there pistols. They had just gotten off duty and were at her apartment. The officer is facing charges for involuntary manslaughter, and armed criminal action.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A St. Louis policeman is set to appear in court Thursday morning one week after he allegedly shot and killed his colleague while playing a Russian roulette-like game.

Nathanial Hendren, 29, is facing charges of involuntary manslaughter and armed criminal action in the death of his fellow officer, 24-year-old Katlyn Alix.

Alix was off-duty at Hendren's apartment in St. Louis, Missouri, when she was shot in the chest just before 1 a.m. local time on Jan. 24. Hendren and his patrol partner who was present -- both on-duty at the time -- rushed Alix to the hospital where she soon died.

The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department initially called it an "accidental" killing in which an officer "mishandled a firearm." But investigators later determined that Hendren and Alix were playing a dangerous game with a revolver.

According to a probable cause statement from the police department, Hendren emptied the revolver's chambers, put one bullet back in and spun the cylinder. He then pointed the weapon away and pulled the trigger. The gun did not fire. Alix took the firearm, pointed it at Hendren and pulled the trigger. Still nothing happened.

Hendren then took back the revolver, pointed it at Alix and pulled the trigger. This time, the gun discharged the chambered round, according to the probable cause.

The way how everything went down, I don't like it. I think there's more answers. We need more answers. She loved her job. Even on her days off she would go visit all her friends down there because like I guess when you're a police officer, [you have] that close bond with everyone.

Hendren's partner, who has not yet been named, advised investigators that he had told Alix and Hendren that "they shouldn't be playing with guns and that they were police officers," according to the probable cause. The officer said he "felt uncomfortable" with the situation and "didn't want to have any part of it. He was leaving Hendren's apartment when he heard the gunshot, according to the probable cause.

The police department immediately launched an internal investigation into the incident and placed both Hendren and his partner on paid administrative leave. The St. Louis Circuit Attorney's Office launched its own investigation with the help of the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

The St. Louis circuit attorney, Kimberly Gardner, announced on Jan. 25 that her office had filed charges against Hendren.

"This is a devastating incident for Katlyn Alix's husband, parents, family and for our entire community," Gardner said in a statement. "We will do whatever is necessary to get to the truth of this incident. Katlyn's family and this community deserve nothing less."

On Monday, Gardner sent a letter to Col. John Hayden Jr., the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department commissioner, and Judge Jimmie Edwards, the city's public safety director, raising concerns about how the investigation was handled in its early stages.

This is a devastating incident for Katlyn Alix's husband, parents, family and for our entire community. We will do whatever is necessary to get to the truth of this incident. Katlyn's family and this community deserve nothing less.

Gardner said she believed there was probable cause that drugs or alcohol may have been "a contributing factor" in the shooting. Members of her team began preparing search warrants to have blood drawn from both Hendren and his partner, but police informed them that the local hospital will not honor the warrants -- even though that is a common procedure in criminal investigations, Gardner said.

Gardner said her team was later told that, "in lieu of the more exact blood specimen test," the police department's internal affairs division had conducted a breathalyzer test and taken urine samples from both officers under Garrity rights, which shield public employees from self-incrimination.

"This is a serious problem in objective investigative tactics," Gardner said in her letter. "Taking these tests under the cover of Garry appears as an obstructionist tactic to prevent us from understanding the state of the officers during the commission of this alleged crime."

Gardner also expressed concern over the police department's swift assessment that Alix's death was an accident.

"In my opinion, it is completely inappropriate for investigators to approach a crime scene that early in the investigation with a predisposed conclusion about the potential outcome of a case," she said. "I understand your need to get information out to the public quickly regarding officer-involved shooting cases, however, the labeling of any criminal incident as an accident prior to a full investigation is a violation of our duty as objective fact finders."

Alix, a military veteran who graduated from the St. Louis Police Academy in January 2017, was laid to rest Wednesday. Her family is demanding answers.

"The way how everything went down, I don't like it," Alix's mother, Aimee Chadwick, told CBS affiliate KMOV in an interview. "I think there's more answers. We need more answers. She loved her job. Even on her days off she would go visit all her friends down there because like I guess when you're a police officer, [you have] that close bond with everyone."

A New Mexico woman is literally experiencing a "bunch of bologna" as a stranger has been leaving pieces of the sandwich ingredient on her doorstep.

Sharisha Morrison said that an unknown man has been, since Jan. 1, repeatedly been delivering the "deli meat mystery" to her home in southeast Albuquerque.

"He'll just walk up and drop it on the little doorknob right here, and then walk away," Morrison told KOB. "That's all he does, every single time."

The woman said the delivery comes in a plastic shopping bag, and typically contains a few pieces of bologna and a few pieces of bread.

At first, Morrison thought that someone might just be leaving her food as part of an act of kindness, but when she smelled the delivery, she learned that was not the case.

"It smelled like urine," she told the news station. "I just want him to stop, I really do. ... Also, like I don't want anything more to be in there, like is it gonna be feces next time instead of urine?"

Morrison said that her neighbors, who have also reportedly received the sandwich deliveries, are moving out of their home "because they're tired of it."

The woman said the situation concerns her, considering she has a young infant, and she doesn't "want like some random guy just creeping around my apartment."
