Over 30 years ago Lyneth Mann-Lewis's son was allegedly kidnapped. At the time the 21 month old was taken by his father. The father told his son that his mother was dead. They were finally reunited after his birth certificate was identified as counterfeit and an investigation into the duo took place. The two have since been reunited.

More than 30 years ago, Lyneth Mann-Lewis' 21-month-old son vanished after visiting his father. And just a few days ago, authorities told her they'd found him.

"The words 'Your son is alive, we've found him' -- that is breathtaking," Mann-Lewis told reporters on Monday. "I said, 'Oh my God, my baby.' He said, 'Mommy, you have my eyes.' He hugged me and he kissed me and we held for a long time."

Jermaine Mann had been living under a phony name in the United States with his father, Allan Mann, who allegedly kidnapped him in 1987, federal officials said. Investigators said Jermaine, not even 2 years old, had been taken by his father after a court-ordered visit in Toronto. The father had told the son his mother was dead.

Allan Mann, 66, was arrested on Friday in Vernon, Connecticut, a suburb of Hartford, where he had been living as Hailee Randolph DeSouza, federal officials said.

Authorities tracked him down after receiving more than 200 tips from residents in the U.S. and Toronto. The elder Mann allegedly used fake birth certificates to build a new life for the two.

Officials with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development said they arrested him after reviewing his rental application for subsidized housing and discovering his birth certificate was counterfeit.

"This is one of those rare cases that tugs at your heart strings," Christina Scaringi, of the HUD Office of the Inspector General, said in a statement. "Not only did we, working collectively, get this alleged bad actor off the street, but we played a role in reuniting an unjustly separated family."

Mann-Lewis said "endured many hard days" over the last three decades. She thanked the Missing Children Society of Canada and officials in the U.S. for bringing her son, now 33, back to her.

"I want to encourage other families with missing children and loved ones not to ever, ever give up hope on finding them," she said. "I am the proof that after 31 long years of suffering, 31 long years, one should never give up.

"But be patient. Be strong and believe that all things are possible and that anything can transpire."

Allan Mann was charged with making false statements and making false statements to get HUD housing. It's unclear if he has obtained an attorney, and he's expected to be extradited to Canada, where he may face additional charges.

Lauren McCluskey, the University of Utah student who was murdered by her ex-boyfriend, admitted to police she wired $1,000 into an account to prevent "compromising pictures" of the pair from being prior to her death.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A University of Utah student police say was murdered by her ex-boyfriend told officers she wired $1,000 to an account earlier this month to prevent the release of "compromising pictures" of the pair, authorities said Thursday.

University Police Chief Dale Brophy told reporters that Lauren McCluskey, 21, reported the extortion to his officers on Oct. 13, nine days before she was found shot dead outside an on-campus dormitory. The suspect in her murder, 37-year-old Melvin Rowland, was found dead that same evening of a self-inflicted gunshot wound inside a Salt Lake City church.

Brophy said that McCluskey had ended her relationship with Rowland on Oct. 9 after she discovered that he had lied to her about his age and was a registered sex offender. McCluskey initially declined police assistance in dealing with Rowland, but later reported receiving numerous emails and messages using different names trying to lure her to locations in addition to the extortion attempt. Investigators now believe the messages all came from Rowland, who Brophy called a master manipulator.

"If his lips were moving, he was lying," Brophy said of Rowland. "I don't think he told the truth to anybody based on our investigation."

Rowland was spotted on surveillance video at various locations around the University of Utah's campus during the weekend before McCluskey's murder. Authorities believe he was trying to confront her. Hours before the killing, Rowland was in McCluskey's dorm building socializing with some of her friends. He later confronted McCluskey in the building parking lot, dragged her into a car he had driven to campus, and shot her multiple times.
UNIVERSITY OF UTAH STUDENT WAS ON PHONE WITH PARENTS BEFORE FATAL SHOOTING
After shooting McCluskey, Rowland was picked up on campus by a woman he met online. They went to dinner, visited the state Capitol and went to her apartment where Rowland took a shower.

The woman later called police when she saw photos of the man being sought for the campus shooting.

Later that night, after the woman dropped Rowland at a coffee shop, police tracked him to the church where he killed himself.

Rowland got the gun by telling an acquaintance that his girlfriend wanted to learn to shoot.

Brophy said it appears the woman who picked up Rowland on campus and the person who loaned him the gun had been duped and will not face charges.

Police knew Rowland was a sex offender but not that he was on parole, Brophy said. He added that police didn't start the formal extortion investigation until six days after her Oct. 13 report due to workload issues.

Kaitlin Felsted, a spokeswoman for the Utah Department of Corrections, said police didn't make parole officers aware of the complaint filed by McCluskey.

In the early stages of the investigation, officers didn't have enough information to pass on to any other law enforcement, Brophy said, adding that there were no indications from McCluskey that Rowland was threatening physical violence.

University of Utah president Ruth Watkins said outside investigations are being launched to assess campus security and police protocols to determine if improvements can be made to prevent future shootings.

Watkins said so far she has found no mistakes in how police handled the case. Brophy said he welcomes the reviews.

Earlier in the day, Gov. Gary Herbert said corrections and parole officials had launched investigations into the handling of the case.

"Clearly in hindsight, we're going to say, 'You should have done this, you should have done that,'" Herbert said during his monthly televised news conference at KUED-TV

He noted, however, "You never know when these things are going to occur."

Rowland was paroled in April when he told the parole board that he was a changed man after being a peer leader in prison had helped him tap into his empathy and learn to follow the rules.

He spent nearly a decade in prison after pleading guilty in 2004 to trying to lure an underage girl online and attempted sex abuse charges, according to court records.

After he was charged, a woman came forward to report he had sexually assaulted her after a separate online meeting a few days earlier.

Rowland, a native of New York, was twice sent back to prison for parole violations that included possessing pornography and failure to complete therapy.

He blamed his "thinking errors" for the actions that kept sending him back in prison, according to recordings of parole hearings from 2010 to 2018 released this week by the Utah Board of Parole and Pardons.

Rowland said at a hearing in 2012 that he was a womanizer who manipulated women to get what he wanted.

Brophy offered the same assessment. He said McCluskey met Rowland last month at a bar where he was working security and started dating him. He visited her often in her dorm and made friends with other students in the building.

"He was very, very good at getting people to trust him," Brophy said. "Lauren was no different."

A woman with a knife stabbed 14 kindergarten students in China.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text

A woman wielding a kitchen knife has attacked at least 14 children at a kindergarten in Chongqing in central China, local police said Friday.

Chongqing City Banan District police said the children were slashed as they walked back to class after their morning exercises at Yudong New Century Kindergartenabout 9.30 a.m. local time.

Videos circulating on Chinese social media showed small children bleeding from severe cuts to their faces at the entrance of the kindergarten as stunned adults looked on.

School security guards and staff restrained the 39-year-old attacker and took her into custody. Video from the scene appeared to show angry onlookers attempting to hit and kick the woman after she was detained.

Chongqing resident Xia Yang said the attack had shocked residents of the city, a metropolis of some 30 million people.

Nearby residents said the kindergarten doesn't have any outdoor space for the children, and they have to use a local public park for their morning exercises.

"It happened when the children were entering the school gate ... The attacker just ran at them with a knife. The teachers were dumbstruck," said Zhang Jing, who lives close to the school.

He told CNN old people out shopping for groceries had intervened to stop the attack.

An unknown number of students were taken to a nearby hospital following the incident, according to police.

Video from the hospital showed adults wailing in grief as children covered in blood were rushed from ambulances into the building. In another video, a child whose head is wrapped in bandages was pushed past on a gurney, as crowds looked on.

Zhang said after the knife attack and recent scandals over faulty medicine for children, he's increasingly skeptical of the government's ability to look after his own daughter.

"It is terrifying. The vaccines are faulty, the food is faulty ... and right now even the security is problematic," he told CNN.

There is no information about a potential motive for the attack. Police are continuing to investigate.

Friday's incident isn't the first time school children in China have been hurt by people wielding knives. Nine students were killed at a middle school in Shaanxi province in April by a 28-year-old man who was later sentenced to death.

According to state media Xinhua, the killer had wanted to "get revenge on his former classmates who had teased him" and had bought the knives online.

In 2017, 11 students were injured after a man climbed over the wall of a kindergarten with a knife and began attacking them.

Frank and Kristal Sergi were found dead when police arrived at the scene. These two people were teachers at a school in Indianapolis The neighbor said that he heard gun shots.The neighbor also reported that they were going through a divorce, so police are trying to see if that had something to do with it. They are still looking into who did it, and it will be announced soon.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Two longtime teachers found dead at a home in a suburb about 21 miles northeast of Indianapolis were identified Thursday, according to police.

Fishers police, responding Wednesday night to a report of shots fired, found the bodies of a man and woman, identified as 52-year-old Frank Sergi II and 44-year-old Kristal Sergi.

"Just before 6 p.m. yesterday evening, Fishers police officers responded to the Saxony neighborhood after a 911 caller reported hearing possible gunshots in the area. Upon their arrival, officers determined the suspicious noise had come from a home located in the 13000 block of Dorster Street. Officers made entry into the residence and discovered the bodies of two adults," Sgt. Tom Weger told Fox News via email on Thursday afternoon.

Weger said investigators don't believe anyone else is involved.

"They're going through a divorce, and I know that can be really rough," neighbor Michael Jenson told Fox 59 about the Sergis. "But to see this, it's like wow. How and why would it drive someone to do something so sad and tragic? Unbelievable."

Autopsies were planned. Causes of death are expected to be announced Friday, Fox 59 reported.

Hamilton Southeastern schools described the Sergis as longtime staff members, and said classes at Hoosier Road Elementary and Fall Creek Intermediate would be canceled for the rest of the week to allow for grief counseling.

The school district, as Fox News previously reported, issued the following statement: "It is with great sadness that we have learned of the sudden passing of two longtime staff members during an incident Wednesday evening. Fishers Police Department is leading the investigation, and we will be supporting them in their efforts. We are currently working through our district's crisis response team, which includes mental health professionals, to provide much-needed support during this difficult time."

A 28 year old woman with down syndrome has launched a cookie bakery is generating $500,000 in sales. After being rejected from bakeries for years she starts a business and now is super successful. Half of the people she has hired have disabilities of there own.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Since launching less than two years ago, Collette Divitto's local cookie business has done just shy of a half a million dollars in sales. And, she's done it with no loans or outside investors.

Her secret to success, she says, is both "cinnamon and love."

The 28-year-old, who has Down syndrome, was prompted to start her own business after years of getting countless rejections from nearby bakeries.

"She always can home with the same kind of email that said she wasn't a good fit," Rosemary Alfredo, Divitto's mother, told FOX Business. "So, the company was really birthed by rejection."

While Divitto admits she was "very upset" by not getting hired for so long, she now feels empowered by hiring others like her to help run her Boston-based business, Collettey's Cookies.

To date, Alfredo said the company has hired 13 employees, half of whom have disabilities of their own.

"One of her passions she has is for everyone to blend and inclusion be everywhere and there not really be a difference in communities," Alfredo adds.

Divitto's story of entrepreneurship has also been featured in hundreds of news stories around the world, encouraging others with disabilities to create their own businesses. Alfredo said they have received many calls about franchising Collettey's Cookie in a few states.

According a survey from the National Center on Health, Physical Activity and Disability, only 57 percent of adults with Down syndrome are employed. Of those polled, almost 3 percent were self-employed with more than 30 percent still unemployed. Last month, the U.S. unemployment rate fell to 3.7 percent, its lowest level since December 1969.

"My mission of my company is really about creating jobs for people who have disabilities in them. I know exactly how they feel," Divitto said.

Four men, so far, have been arrested in the, Unit The Right rally that took place in Charlottesville last year. Local and federal police have been working together to track down those who participated in the violence last year.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Three alleged white supremacists have been arrested and authorities are looking for another in connection to violent attacks against a police officer, journalists and counter protesters.

Interested in Charlottesville?

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

The four men are all believed to be members of a group that a U.S. Attorney's office in California calls a "white supremacy extremist group" named "Rise Above Movement," according to the criminal complaint.

The latest arrests over the last few days come weeks after other alleged members of the same group were named and faced federal charges in connection to violence at the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville.

The three men that were announced as being in custody on Wednesday were identified as Robert Rundo, 28, of Huntington Beach, Robert Boman, 25, of Torrance, and Tyler Laube, 22, of Redondo Beach, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney's Office. The fourth, who is still at large, is Aaron Eason, 38, who resides in the Riverside County community of Anza, the release stated.

They all face federal charges of violating conspiracy and rioting statutes, court documents stated.

"Rundo, Boman, Laube, and Eason, along with other RAM members, have used the internet to prepare to incite and participate in violence at various political events, have committed violent assaults while at those events, and have applauded each other for it and publicly documented their assaults in order to recruit more members to engage in further assaults," the criminal complaint alleged.

The complaint lists several specific rallies that the individuals attended in California where they allegedly attacked either journalists, an individual Berkeley police officers described as a "defenseless person," or others including a police officer.

The rallies included a "Make America Great Rally" in Huntington Beach in March 2017 and an "Anti-Islamic Law" rally in San Bernardino in June 2017, documents said.

Rundo was arrested at the Los Angeles Airport on Sunday, arraigned Wednesday and detained pending trial, according to ABC station KABC. He was charged with conspiracy and rioting.

The status of Boman and Laube was not immediately known.

Beyond allegedly belonging to the same group, there's another stated connection between one of the newly charged individuals and two of the men that were charged earlier this month.

According to the criminal complaint, Rundo and two of the four men who were charged in the Charlottesville case -- Benjamin Drake Daley and Michael Miselis -- "traveled to Germany, Ukraine, and Italy to celebrate Adolf Hitler's birthday to meet with members of European white supremacy extremist groups," in the spring of 2018.

The criminal complaint also cites the text and Facebook messages of members of the Rise Above Movement, staying that even after the Charlottesville rally, "RAM members continued to engage in regular combat training sessions and post photographs and videos on social media promoting their assaults at prior rallies."

It is unclear if the 3 suspects in custody have been assigned or retained attorneys.

A "swatter" from California whose fake emergency call led to a Kansas man’s death last year faces 46 federal charges for fake calls reporting bomb threats, shootings and other acts of violence.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A suspected "swatter" from California whose fake emergency call allegedly led to a Kansas man's death last year faces 46 new federal charges for fake reports of bomb threats, shootings and other acts of violence, authorities said.

The charges were filed against Tyler Barriss, 25, of Los Angeles, on Wednesday in the Central District of California. Prosecutors allege Barris called in several false threats to law enforcement agencies between 2014 and 2017 from Los Angeles, the Wichita Eagle reported.

Barriss plans to plead guilty to the charges, according to a signed court document, the paper reported.

Earlier this year, Barriss was charged in connection with a Dec. 28 "swatting" incident in which he allegedly called a false threat to Wichita police that led to the shooting death of Andrew Finch, 28, by a responding officer.

Officers said Finch -- an unsuspecting resident who reportedly had no connection to Barriss -- didn't comply with commands to keep his hands raised when police arrived at his home because of a fake report that authorities attributed to Barriss. It wasn't until Finch was dead and officers were inside his home that they realized the call was a hoax.

The officer was not charged in Finch's death.

"Swatting" is when someone makes a call to police with a false story of an ongoing crime to get police or emergency responders to go to the address. The word derives from SWAT, the police acronym for Special (or sometimes Strategic) Weapons and Tactics.

Barriss is currently being held in Kansas. The suspect, who used the Twitter handle @SWAuTistic," told investigators that the Wichita swatting was the result of a dispute over a video game involving a $1.50 bet.

One of the players contacted Barriss because a rival in the game was taunting him. Barriss told police he got the Wichita address from the player who initially contacted him, then followed the other player on Twitter and confirmed the address with him.

Authorities believe Barriss made bomb threats to government buildings, including FBI headquarters. Police in Ohio said Barris was allegedly paid to swat someone in Cincinnati.

Other alleged targets included schools, shopping centers, a museum and television station and other locations in Canada, according to Wired.

The bulk of the alleged crimes occurred during the last four months of 2017 after Burriss was released from a Los Angeles County jail following a two-year stint.

In one incident, Barriss was allegedly paid $30 to swat two people and was offered payment in the form of a Microsoft Xbox and Crypto-currency.

Amy Robach, a co-anchor for ABC News had always dreamed of Climbing Mount Everest. She was discouraged by the sudden news that she had Breast Cancer. Despite the news, she persevered and began training. After running a half marathon succesfully, Amy encouraged her family to climb with her. Not longer than a year later, they made the climb succesfully.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text

Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is something I had been dreaming about for as long as I can remember. It was a distant dream but on my very real list of things to do before I die. I told myself, 'One day I'll do that,' until one day all of my dreams became buried in an avalanche of fear.

Five years ago, on Oct. 30, 2013, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. That's the day when my to-do list shrunk to just one single goal: survive.

Fate had a different mountain for me to climb and for a year, that meant traversing doctors, decisions, surgeries, chemotherapy and medications. What followed was an even steeper climb, a mountain of fear.

I no longer trusted my body. I no longer felt invincible. I was weak and vulnerable, afraid to plan for any future.

Slowly, with incredible support from my family, friends and other survivors, I began to build back my physical strength.

I began working out again. I ran my first half marathon, and more importantly, I realized I wasn't jinxing my health to believe I could be stronger than before cancer. My physical fitness started to bolster my mental courage. I began to hope again.

That's when my dream of summiting Kilimanjaro came back to me.

I asked my closest family and friends to come with me, on my five-year "cancerversary," to celebrate pushing past fear by pushing ourselves beyond discomfort and pain to stand on top of Africa! And amazingly, they all said yes!

We spent the summer hiking, running, walking and weight training to prepare for our October summit. Our group ranged from 12 years old to 65 and we were all in the best shape of our lives. But Mount Kilimanjaro's biggest obstacle is altitude.

A group of us spent a week in Peru this June hiking the Andes on the Lares Trek to try to prepare for the effects of mountain sickness.

We got up to 15,000 feet and felt confident about Kilimanjaro. But Uhuru Peak stands at 19,341 feet and despite all of our preparations, nearly every one of us fell prey to altitude sickness between 17,000 and 19,000 feet on our final summit night.

My dad, my brother and my husband somehow evaded most symptoms but the rest of us either vomited, felt massively fatigued, had excruciating headaches or experienced a combination of all three!

Despite those symptoms, miraculously all 10 of us made it up to the peak and we did it together, by simply putting one foot in front of the other.

For seven hours, starting at midnight, in subfreezing conditions and after hiking four full days through five climate zones, we did it!

What an accomplishment and life lesson: one step at a time, one day at a time, savor each moment along the journey -- both the good and the bad - and relish the people walking with you every step of the way.

An Oregon homeowner held a burglar at gunpoint last week after she caught him attempting to leave her house with stolen items, police said.

Authorities in Clackamas County responded to a burglary report at a home in Happy Valley, around 2:50 p.m. Oct. 18, Portland's Fox 12 Oregon reported.

Responding officers found homeowner Dawn Lisa-DesVoigne holding the burglar at gunpoint. The burglar was identified as 20-year-old Edward Cerf of Oregon City.

There have been flash floods in Jordan. The death toll is up to 19. Civil defense officials say it has been one of the deadliest incidents involving schoolchildren.  They are continuing to search for survivors.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The death toll from flash floods near Jordan's shore of the Dead Sea rose to 20 on Friday, in what Civil Defense officials said was one of the deadliest incidents in the kingdom involving schoolchildren.

The search for survivors continued after daybreak, with helicopters and teams with sniffer dogs scouring the rocky slopes near the Dead Sea in the Jordan Valley.

The body of a 12-year-old girl was found early on Friday and several more people were still feared missing, said the director general of the Civil Defense, Mustafa al-Basaiah.

Thirteen of the dead and 26 of about three dozen people injured in Thursday's flash floods were middle school children, officials said. They said three of those killed, including two students, were Iraqis living in Amman.

The incident began early Thursday afternoon when 37 students from an Amman private school, along with seven adult chaperones, as well as other visitors were taking a break at hot springs several kilometers from the Dead Sea shores. Sudden heavy rains sent flash floods surging toward them from higher ground, sweeping them away, some as far as the Dead Sea, officials said.

A complex rescue operation involving helicopters, divers, sniffer dogs and hundreds of searchers continued into the night Thursday and resumed Friday. Israel's military said it also dispatched a rescue team at the request of the Jordanian government.

Brig. Gen. Farid al-Sharaa, a Civil Defense spokesman, said Friday that the flooding was one of the deadliest incidents in recent memory involving schoolchildren.

Jordan's King Abdullah II canceled a planned working visit to Bahrain, initially scheduled for Friday. He was to have been the keynote speaker at a security conference. In a message on his Twitter account, the monarch said that "the pain of each father, mother and family is my pain." He also expressed anger toward those who he said "failed to take measures that could have prevented this painful incident," but stopped short of assigning specific blame.

The king ordered the Jordanian flag at the palace's main entrance to fly at half-staff for three days in mourning for the victims of the flood.

The U.N. secretary general and several regional leaders sent condolences.

The low-lying Dead Sea area is prone to flash flooding when rain water rushes down from adjacent hills. In April, 10 Israeli students were killed in a flash flood while on a hiking trip near the Dead Sea.

LOS ANGELES -- Coming off their first win of the season over Phoenix's desert island of misfit toys, the Lakers sparked their first winning streak of the season, topping the Denver Nuggets 121-114 on Thursday. The game was a seesaw affair throughout, but the Lakers wrested control of the game in the final four minutes.

The Lakers might not be currently constructed to be a top-flight defensive team, but there were some encouraging signs in their best effort of the season.

Watching Lonzo Ball constantly hound Jamal Murray the full length of the floor -- picking Murray's pocket just before halftime for an easy bucket as just reward -- was a reminder that the Lakers employ several capable defenders, even if their team concepts have a ways to go. They needn't be the sieve of a defense that they demonstrated the first week of the season.

For James, Thursday's outing was a complete performance that included his first triple-double as a Laker -- 28 points (10-for-17 from the floor), 11 rebounds and 11 assists. James has been selective with his attacks in the early going this season, but seeing an opportunity to rumble coast to coast in the third quarter, he willingly forced the issue on several occasions -- most notably a slam on the break, courtesy of a pass ahead from Lance Stephenson that gave the Lakers the lead with 3:29 remaining in the game.

And from the top of the floor as a facilitator, James was characteristically lethal with his surgical passing.

James is well aware that the Lakers won't be the most proficient shooting team in the league. But their final possession of the first half was a vivid illustration of how the elite vision of James and Ball can compensate for perimeter shortcomings; it was an exercise the Lakers showed off in the victory. As the Denver defense gravitated toward James with the clock winding down, he zipped a cross-court pass in the opposite corner to Ball, who then instantly shuttled it over to Kyle Kuzma for an open 3-pointer on the wing.

The shot vaulted the Lakers into the lead heading to intermission -- more evidence that better decisions will yield better results. If Kuzma (22 points) continues to sprint the floor in transition and float to open space on the perimeter as he did on Thursday night, he should be exceptionally well-fed this season. His two dunks in the final two minutes, one courtesy of James, helped seal the game for the Lakers.

Ball and James, both heady and intrinsically unselfish on the court, are clearly establishing some teammate telepathy. On a half-court possession in the third quarter, Ball immediately recognized a strong early seal by James against the smaller Torrey Craig -- quick lob, easy 2.

Take a glimpse at some of the Lakers' easier looks and there's a high probability the opportunity was initiated by Ball leading a teammate, then delivering a pinpoint pass. He finished with 12 points -- including a crucial 3-pointer inside of three minutes left in the contest -- eight assists, six rebounds and five steals.

The Lakers again relied on the waste management services of JaVale McGee. For the second consecutive night, McGee topped 20 points, and he is now averaging a handsome 17.2 points per game on the season. McGee also played 31 minutes -- his first 30-minute game since February 2013.

Nikola Jokic (24 points and 11 rebounds) was a handful for McGee and the Lakers, both underneath and operating as the Nuggets' offensive fulcrum out of the high post. And the Lakers will need to establish the collective awareness to defend a team like Denver that utilizes its bigs as playmakers. Better defenses than the Lakers have bore the brunt of Jokic, but the Lakers were similarly picked apart by Denver's Mason Plumlee and Trey Lyles -- something to work on at Saturday's shootaround in San Antonio.

A single woman in China had attacked 14 kindergartners inside the elementary school

A woman wielding a kitchen knife has attacked at least 14 children at a kindergarten in Chongqing in central China, local police said Friday.

Chongqing City Banan District police said the children were slashed as they walked back to class after their morning exercises at Yudong New Century Kindergartenabout 9.30 a.m. local time.

Videos circulating on Chinese social media showed small children bleeding from severe cuts to their faces at the entrance of the kindergarten as stunned adults looked on.

School security guards and staff restrained the 39-year-old attacker and took her into custody. Video from the scene appeared to show angry onlookers attempting to hit and kick the woman after she was detained.

Chongqing resident Xia Yang said the attack had shocked residents of the city, a metropolis of some 30 million people.

Nearby residents said the kindergarten doesn't have any outdoor space for the children, and they have to use a local public park for their morning exercises.

"It happened when the children were entering the school gate ... The attacker just ran at them with a knife. The teachers were dumbstruck," said Zhang Jing, who lives close to the school.

He told CNN old people out shopping for groceries had intervened to stop the attack.

An unknown number of students were taken to a nearby hospital following the incident, according to police.

Video from the hospital showed adults wailing in grief as children covered in blood were rushed from ambulances into the building. In another video, a child whose head is wrapped in bandages was pushed past on a gurney, as crowds looked on.

Zhang said after the knife attack and recent scandals over faulty medicine for children, he's increasingly skeptical of the government's ability to look after his own daughter.

"It is terrifying. The vaccines are faulty, the food is faulty ... and right now even the security is problematic," he told CNN.

There is no information about a potential motive for the attack. Police are continuing to investigate.

Friday's incident isn't the first time school children in China have been hurt by people wielding knives. Nine students were killed at a middle school in Shaanxi province in April by a 28-year-old man who was later sentenced to death.

According to state media Xinhua, the killer had wanted to "get revenge on his former classmates who had teased him" and had bought the knives online.

In 2017, 11 students were injured after a man climbed over the wall of a kindergarten with a knife and began attacking them.

NBC Today show host, Megyn Kelly, talked about her imminent departure from the network. Following the recent 'blackface' scandal and her unpopularity with her colleagues NBC confirmed over a tweet what was to be expected. Kelly apologized for her wrongs and received a standing ovation. She has reportedly hired an attorney who will be speaking with NBC executives Friday.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Megyn Kelly is leaving the building, according to the $69 million woman's own soon-to-be ex-colleagues at 30 Rock, who confirmed the poorly kept secret Friday morning with a tweet.

"This morning, NBC News host Megyn Kelly is in talks with the network about her imminent departure, according to a source familiar with the situation," revealed a tweet from the "Today" show's Twitter account.

The confirmation followed a furious spate of developments that followed Kelly's ill-advised suggestion that putting on "blackface" isn't necessarily racist under certain circumstances. Kelly, whose lack of popularity at the Peacock network was well known, apologized tearfully for the comment, but on Thursday NBC announced that her show would be taped reruns until further notice. That sparked rumors - now confirmed - that she would be out just halfway through her bank-breaking, three-year contract that pays her $23 million per annum.

As her job hosting "Megyn Kelly Today" circled the drain, other developments swirled around Kelly, who rose to stardom at Fox News Channel. Fox News learned that Kelly's legal team is insisting on having #MeToo muckraker Ronan Farrow accompany her to settlement talks. Kelly sided with Farrow, whose Pulitzer Prize winning story about now-disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein's sexual misconduct was spiked by NBC suits.

But it was Kelly's comments during a live panel on Tuesday that did her in.

"But what is racist?" she asked. "Because you get in trouble if you're a white person who puts on blackface on Halloween, or a black person who puts on white face for Halloween... back when I was a kid that was OK, as long as you were dressing like a character"

Kelly offered a heartfelt apology to open her show on Wednesday and received a standing ovation from the in-studio audience. But Lack condemned Kelly's comments during a previously scheduled town hall event for his news division staff on Wednesday.

Kelly's comments were reported on both "NBC Nightly News" and "Today," leading to much speculation that NBC News executives hoped to put a spotlight on the controversial rhetoric as a way to separate with the veteran journalist. NBC colleagues quickly became her biggest critics when Craig Melvin called her comments "racist and ignorant" and Al Roker said she "owes a bigger apology to folks of color around the country."

Kelly's first season averaged nearly 2.4 million viewers, 375,000 fewer than the "Today" show 9 a.m. hour had before she arrived. NBC News has not said anything publicly about Kelly's long-term future. She has reportedly hired a prominent Hollywood attorney who is meeting with NBC executives Friday.

The Pentagon's U.S. Cyber Command (Cybercom) is taking measures to keep Russian operatives from messing with the midterm elections.They carried out operations targeting individual Russian operatives to deny them the ability to carry out malign activities related to the election.

With under two weeks to go before this year's key midterm elections, U.S. Cyber Command has carried out operations to deny Russia the ability to meddle in the elections, according to an administration official.

The first of its kind cyber operation is part of the broader U.S. government effort to ensure that Russian operatives do not meddle in the elections as it did in the 2016 presidential elections.

An administration official confirmed to ABC News that U.S. Cyber Command (Cybercom) has carried out operations targeting individual Russian operatives to deny them the ability to carry out malign activities related to the election.

That includes denying them access to resources, information and cyber tools that might be used in meddling operations, the official said.

The official described U.S. Cyber Command's operation as part of a larger overall effort to prevent future Russian meddling in elections.

U.S. Cyber Command's operations to prevent Russian meddling in the election were first reported by the New York Times earlier this week.

A Pentagon spokesperson declined to discuss details about the operations when asked about the report.

"For security reasons, we do not publicly discuss future or ongoing military operations," said Major Audricia Harris, a Pentagon spokesperson. " The department is committed to defending our nation against any threats in any domain, including the cyber domain."

In January 2017, a U.S. i ntelligence community report concluded ithat Russia had carried out a campaign to influence the 2016 Presidential election.

Since then, the U.S. government has been focused on preventing a recurrence in this year's midterm elections and beyond.

Last Friday, the Justice Department filed charges against a Russian woman who was alleged to have carried out "information warfare" for the upcoming midterm elections.

According to the charges, Elena Alekseevna Khusyaynova of St. Petersburg, Russia, was a chief accountant for a $35 million effort known as "Project Lakhta" that would carry out "information warfare" against the United States and elsewhere using social media and other online sites.

Prosecutors said Khusyaynova and her alleged conspirators used fake online identities pretending to be "ordinary American political activists" supporting a variety of political views to create political tensions in the United States.

Project Lakhta is allegedly funded by Russian oligarch Yevgeniy Viktorovich Prigozhin and two companies he controls. Those companies have been indicted by special counsel Robert Mueller for allegedly taking part in the massive Russian campaign to interfere in the 2016 presidential election. Concord has denied the allegations and filed a lawsuit challenging them.

"Today's indictment of a Russian national for attempting to sow political and social discord ahead of the 2018 midterm election demonstrates that our elections continue to be a target for our adversaries," said Tyler Q. Houlton, press secretary for the Department of Homeland Security. "The U.S. will not tolerate interference in our democratic processes and DHS stands ready to defend our elections," Houlton said.

Waters, one of President Donald Trump's most-outspoken critics, said the suspicious packages will not stop her from protesting the current administration.

"We have to keep to doing what we're doing in order to make this country right. That's what I intend to do, and as the young people say, 'I ain't scared,'" Waters, D-Calif., told Blavity in a video interview on Thursday. "We must not be intimidated to the point that we stop advocating and protesting for justice."

The FBI is investigating at least 10 suspected bombs, including two addressed to Waters. Law enforcement officials haven't disclosed any information about potential suspects in the case but Waters said she blames the president.

"I think the president of United States should take responsibility for the kind of violence that we are seeing for the first time in different ways," Waters said. "I think the president of the United States has been dog-whistling to his constituency, making them believe that their problems are caused by 'those people over there.'"

Waters, 79, ignited controversy earlier this year when she called on her supporters to publicly confront and harass members of the Trump administration in response to the zero-tolerance immigration policy that separated families at the border.

Waters, whom Trump once called "an extraordinarily low IQ person," attempted to clarify her comments a few days later after Trump claimed she'd "called for harm" to his supporters.

"I believe in peaceful, very peaceful protests," Waters told reporters in June. "I have not called for the harm of anybody. This president has lied again when he's saying that I've called for harm."

Authorities intercepted suspected mail bombs addressed to Waters' offices in Washington and in Los Angeles this week. Former President Barack Obama, former Vice President Joe Biden, former Secretary of State and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, CNN and other outspoken Trump critics were also targeted.

The FBI said the mailings were an apparent attempt to further political aims.

Funny how lowly rated CNN, and others, can criticize me at will, even blaming me for the current spate of Bombs and ridiculously comparing this to September 11th and the Oklahoma City bombing, yet when I criticize them they go wild and scream, "it's just not Presidential!"
- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 26, 2018

Trump urged the country to come together in "peace and harmony" but he said members of the media should bare some responsibility.

"A very big part of the Anger we see today in our society is caused by the purposely false and inaccurate reporting of the Mainstream Media that I refer to as Fake News," Trump tweeted Thursday.

"Funny how lowly rated CNN, and others, can criticize me at will, even blaming me for the current spate of Bombs and ridiculously comparing this to September 11th and the Oklahoma City bombing, yet when I criticize them they go wild and scream, "it's just not Presidential," he added in another tweet early Friday morning.
