Pictures of a Honduran mother and her children fleeing from tear gas at the US-Mexican border have gone viral.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Honduran mother seen in a widely circulated photo wearing a colorful Disney "Frozen" T-shirt while fleeing from tear gas at the U.S.-Mexico border with her children told ABC News that she feared for their lives as the canisters of gas fell all around them.

Maria Meza, 39, left her hometown of Villanueva to escape the gang violence and lack of employment, she said, describing the situation there as "terrible." The single mother of nine was only earning about 800 Honduran Lempiras -- about $33 in U.S. currency -- a week, and one of her older children was recruited by a neighborhood gang, she said.

"The salary was not enough to support them," Meza said. "... They told me the U.S. was a country of opportunities where one can work. That's why I came to see if I could support my children."

Meza had five of her children, ranging in age from 5 to 14, in tow during the long journey, among a caravan of thousands who walked from Honduras, through Mexico and to the edge of the U.S.

She and her kids left the caravan on Sunday and were standing at a border fence near the San Ysidro Port of Entry in Baja California, Mexico, when three canisters filled with tear gas landed next to them. Several other mothers and children were near the fence as well, Meza said.

Meza described a terrifying scene that unfolded as she and her children fled the toxic gas.

"I felt like I couldn't see anything because of the smoke," she said, adding that she cried as she held her children. "I was asphyxiated. I was scared with them."

"In the moment, I felt scared and I felt I was going to die with them," she added.

Meza's 5-year-old twin girls were still coughing more than two days after they inhaled the gas, Meza said.

On Monday, President Donald Trump defended the use of tear gas by U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents, saying it was to prevent the border from "being rushed by some very tough people."

"Nobody's coming into our country unless they come in legally," Trump told reporters before embarking on a trip to Mississippi.

The border crossing at San Ysidro -- north of Tijuana, Mexico, and south of San Diego -- was closed for much of the day Sunday due to the clash. Thousands of Central American migrants are waiting in Tijuana and surrounding areas to apply for asylum in the U.S.

Three of Meza's children remained in Honduras, while one of them has been living in Louisiana for two years, she said.

Her 16-year-old son "ended up in drugs" and joined the gang, despite her begging him not to.

"He told me, 'Mom, they are forcing me to enter the Mara (gang) and sell drugs," Meza said.

The gang showed up at her house one day to ask for permission for her son to join, but later told her they would make the decision themselves when she refused, she said.

"They told me he didn't count as my son anymore -- that I had lost him," Meza said, breaking down in tears.

Part of Meza's decision to leave, she added, was to "give the best" to her children, as well as protect her 14-year-old son, who may have been the gang's next recruit.

"I feel destroyed because I know I can't get my son back," she said. "I lost him, and I don't want this to happen with the other children."

Meza pleaded with Trump to let her family into the U.S., saying that Honduran's are "hard-working people" who need jobs.

"I'm asking God that Donald Trump opens the doors here," she said, "so we can get in."

Mom: Slain son would be alive had he been white

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The mother of a young black man killed by a police officer in an Alabama shopping mall said Tuesday she believes her son would still be alive had he been white.

"I think the whole scenario would have played out differently, I really do," April Pipkins said in an interview with The Associated Press.

Pipkins' son, 21-year-old Emantic "EJ" Bradford Jr., was shot to death Thanksgiving night by a police officer responding to a report of a shooting in a shopping mall at the Riverchase Galleria in Hoover, a suburb of 95,000 people south of Birmingham.

Police initially blamed Bradford, who they said had a gun in his hand and was responsible for shooting two people at the mall. They later retracted that statement and said it was unlikely that Bradford had done the shooting.

In a statement issued Monday, police said Bradford had a gun in his hand "during the seconds following the gunshots, which instantly heightened the sense of threat to approaching police officers."

Ben Crump, a lawyer representing the Bradford family, said there was a presumption that Bradford was the criminal because he was a black man. He said witnesses have contacted his law firm saying Bradford was trying to wave people away from the shooting.

Pipkins described her son as a loving, friendly young man. He went to the mall with friends on Thanksgiving evening.

She said she didn't find out what happened to her son until Friday morning when she returned a call from one of his friends who had tried to reach her during the night. She has tried to avoid images of the shooting, but accidentally stumbled across a picture on social media of her son dead on the floor of the mall.

"I did not want to see pictures of my son laying in a pool of blood and when I accidentally came across it I broke down. And I can't get it out of my head. I cannot get the scene out of my head of my child laying there, nobody around him trying to help him, just laying like a piece of trash where everyone can walk around and parade and post pictures of him on social media," Pipkins said.

Police still have not contacted her about the shooting, Pipkins said. She said her only official confirmation of his death came when she called the coroner's office herself.

She said the officer "should be punished for what he did."

Pipkins said her son attended Catholic school in Birmingham, but ended up getting his GED. She said he joined the Army and completed basic training, but had to leave because of a leg injury before completing specialty training.

About 200 people attended a community vigil for Bradford on Tuesday night at Birmingham's 16th Street Baptist Church, where a racist bombing killed four black girls in 1963. Pipkins entered to a standing ovation.

Speaking from the pulpit, regional NAACP field director Kevin Myles said Bradford's killing was part of a pattern of police killing black men without cause.

"This is our personal Katrina. The helicopters are not coming, nobody is coming to bring us water. If we are to be saved we will save ourselves," he said, referencing the catastrophic hurricane that hit the Gulf Coast more than a decade ago.

Pipkins collapsed in tears onstage as she began speaking at the church vigil. Ministers and a nurse surrounded her as congregation members prayed. Paramedics took her to a nearby hospital to monitor her condition.

Bradford's father, Emantic Fitzgerald Bradford Sr., also was overcome with emotion moments earlier as he described the pain of losing his son.

"I can't hear him say 'daddy' no more," said Bradford, who is undergoing treatment for cancer.

Questions over the shooting have sparked multiple demonstrations and a push by Bradford's family for authorities to release body camera footage and other video. Police have refused to make any of the images public.

The incident is being investigated by the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency. Hoover Mayor Frank Brocato has pleaded for public patience as the investigation continues.

After the church vigil, protesters with a bullhorn marched through Brocato's neighborhood chanting: "If we don't get no justice, you don't get no sleep." It wasn't clear whether Brocato was at home.

An explosion outside of Chinese Chemical plant leaves 22 dead and damage to dozens of vehicles storage.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
An explosion outside a chemical plant in northeastern China early Wednesday killed at least 22 people and destroyed scores of vehicles, in the latest challenge to efforts to boost industrial safety in the world's second-largest economy.

The blast occurred just after midnight at a loading area next to the plant operated by the Hebei Shenghua Chemical Industry Co. Ltd., according to a statement from the Zhangjiakou city government. The plant is located in Zhangjiakou, which is to play host to the 2022 Winter Olympics.

Another 22 people were injured and 38 trucks and 12 passenger cars were destroyed by fire, the statement said.

"We request that citizens do not go to the site to watch in order to avoid disrupting recovery efforts," it said.

An official at the city government propaganda department, who gave only his surname, Gao, said the accident's cause was still under investigation and no other information could be provided.

Investigators suspect a truck carrying the highly flammable compound ethane for use by a separate nearby chemical factory exploded as it was passing the Shenghua plant, the official Xinhua News Agency reported. The flames then spread to other trucks but not to the Shenghua complex itself, which continued to operate as normal, the report said.

Footage from state broadcaster China Central Television showed row after row of charred tanker trucks with smoke still rising from some of them, hours after the explosion occurred.

On its website, Hebei Shenghua described itself as a "backbone enterprise of the city, and for the domestic chlor-alkali industry and one of the Top 500 chemical enterprises in the country."

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the chlor-alkali electrolysis process is used mainly to manufacture chlorine, along with hydrogen and sodium hydroxide solution.

Chlorine is one of the most commonly produced chemicals, widely used in the textile and paper industries, as well as for general cleaning and disinfecting and as a raw material for synthetic organic chemistry. It is also an essential component of construction materials, solvents and insecticides.

Other products made at the plant include PVC resins, caustic soda, hydrochloric acid, oxygen, chlorine, dissolved acetylene, coated kettle agent, water treatment chemicals and new building materials, according to the company website.

The company is a subsidiary of state-owned China National Chemical Corporation, China's largest chemical company, listed 167th on the Fortune Global 500 list.

Industrial safety is a major concern in China, where requirements for the storage and transport of chemicals and other dangerous products are often weakly enforced.

A massive explosion in 2015 traced to improperly stored chemicals killed at least 173 people in Tianjin, about an hour east of Beijing.

More recently, 52 people were sickened when around 7 tons of the common chemical additive C9 leaked while workers were loading barrels onto a ship in Fujian province on Nov. 4.

While the ruling Communist Party emphasizes improvements in industrial safety, the authorities remain extremely sensitive about the potential for social unrest.

Over recent years, grass-roots movements have brought thousands of people onto the streets in cities across China to protest accidents and plans for chemical plants, garbage incinerators and other projects deemed harmful to the environment.

In the C9 leak case, police staged a late night raid on the hotel room of a reporter writing about the accident for one of China's most respected business media groups. The officers, who said they were conducting a routine inspection, departed after conducting a search, but footage of the raid was leaked online, prompting the local police department to issue a rare apology.

Ohio pair charged with murder after missing 18-year-old woman found with gunshot wound to head

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Two people were charged with the murder of an 18-year-old Ohio woman who was found dead in a wooded area Sunday three weeks after she had last been seen.

Samantha Guthrie's body was found in New Franklin around midnight Sunday, Akron police spokesman Lt. Rick Edwards said. The medical examiner's office said she died of a gunshot wound to the head, according to Cleveland.com.

Danny Hamby, 39, of Springfield Township, and Toni Kenney, 31, of Warren, were charged with murder Monday, according to FOX8 Cleveland. The pair had already been in jail on charges related to Guthrie's vanishing. It wasn't immediately clear if Guthrie knew either Hamby or Kenney.

Hamby is also facing charges for a parole violation, a probation violation, carrying concealed weapons, improperly handling firearms in a motor vehicle, drug abuse, possession of drug abuse instrument, having weapons while under disability and tampering with evidence and obstructing justice charges, according to People.

Kenney was also facing charges for carrying concealed weapons, obstructing justice and tampering with evidence charges, the magazine reported.

However, it wasn't clear who allegedly fired the gun that killed Guthrie.

"Detectives are not naming which one, Danny Hamby or Toni Keeney, actually fired the shot that killed Samantha Guthrie," Edwards said, according to the Akron Beacon Journal. "This is still an active investigation at this time."

William Eugene Alexander, 38, and Dylan Brown, 19, were also arrested in the Guthrie case. The pair and Kenney told authorities Guthrie was shot at a house in Akron and then her body was dumped in the wooded area in New Franklin, the Beacon Journal reported.

Alexander and Brown were charged with tampering with evidence or moving a corpse, People reported.

A 41 year old skydiving instructor committed suicide by releasing his harness a mile above the ground

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
An experienced skydiving instructor who plunged to his death while flying tandem with a student in Maine deliberately released his safety harness to commit suicide, state police revealed Monday.

Brett Bickford, 41, of Rochester, New Hampshire died on Sept. 27 after he fell a mile to his death after separating from his student, Maine State Police said.

The unidentified student landed safely with the parachute and quickly contacted police. Bickford's body was found the next day about 750 feet southwest of the Lebanon Airport runway by a search and rescue team.

Maine's medical examiner concluded this week that Bickford's death was a suicide.

"Brett was one amazing smart young man. Those who knew Brett know he had a free spirit of life to live one day at a time," his obituary said. "Brett's smile and laughter live on in all who knew him."

A two-month investigation concluded Bickford loosened his harness midair and that it was an intentional act. Police said they spoke with other skydiving instructors and industry officials, who all concluded that no experienced skydiver would loosen a parachute harness by mistake, the Portland Press Herald reported.

Steve McCausland, a spokesman for the Maine Department of Public Safety, told the newspaper that Bickford, who had been an instructor at Skydive New England in Lebanon for 10 years, did not leave a suicide note.

Nicole Koreen, director of sports promotion for the U.S. Parachute Association, told the newspaper that tandem skydiving has a solid safety record, with an average of one student fatality per 500,000 tandem jumps over the past decade.

OJ Simpson 'didn't act alone' in murders, ex-manager claims

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
O.J. Simpson "didn't act alone" when he allegedly murdered his ex-wife and her friend decades ago, according to his former manager.

The former NFL star was not solely "involved" in the deaths of Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend, Ronald Goldman, but rather he "had at least one accomplice," Norman Pardo told the New York Post's Page Six in an article published Tuesday.
SACHA BARON COHEN CHARACTER INTERVIEWS OJ SIMPSON ON 'WHO IS AMERICA' AND JOKES ABOUT KILLING WOMEN
For years, Pardo has reportedly been working on a documentary about the 1994 slayings and will next week pitch it to various cable and streaming networks "to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the homicides."

"For the first time, the most thorough investigation into the murder ever conducted will be shared with America," Pardo said. "We have assembled a team of internationally renowned criminal investigators, experts and lawyers."
BILL COSBY GETS PRISON WARNING FROM O.J. SIMPSON
Pardo said those involved in the documentary "believe they can not only prove Simpson was involved in their deaths," but that someone else was involved, too.

The former manager claims to be friends with the former football star.

Simpson, 71, was released from a Nevada prison in October 2017 after serving nine years for a botched 2007 hotel-room heist in Las Vegas that brought the conviction and prison time he avoided in the killings of his wife and her friend after his 1995 acquittal.

Simpson fell from grace when he was arrested in the slayings, coming after the famous Ford Bronco chase on California freeways. His subsequent trial became a live-TV sensation that fascinated viewers with its testimony about a bloody glove that didn't fit and unleashed furious debate over race, police and celebrity justice.

A jury swiftly acquitted him, but two years later, Simpson was found liable in civil court for the killings and ordered to pay $33.5 million to survivors, including his children and Goldman's family.

Kansas recalling more than 700 lisense plates because they contained ethnic slurs.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A complaint about an ethnic slur offensive to Japanese-Americans has prompted Kansas to recall hundreds of license plates containing the random letter combination "JAP."

The issue arose in October 2017 when Keith Kawamoto, 70, saw a Kansas license plate near his Los Angeles home and took a photo of it. Kawamoto then wrote several letters to Kansas officials, including Gov. Jeff Colyer.

"I let them know it is considered a very derogatory racial slur and I don't think it should be allowed anywhere," Kawamoto said.

Kansas' motor vehicles division apologized, but Kawamoto wanted Kansas to get all plates containing the three-letter combination recalled.

The Pacific Citizen, the newspaper of the Japanese American Citizens League, first published Kawamoto's photo of the Kansas plate.

When Barbara Johnson, a 67-year-old Japanese-American woman living in Abilene, Kansas, saw the story in the Pacific Citizen, she said it brought back memories of her childhood.

"It was not a good time to be Japanese because of Pearl Harbor and World War II," Johnson said. "I recall vividly as a child being called 'Jap' - and how it made me feel so small and hurt by being called that."

Johnson conceded that Kansas officials probably didn't know "what it means anymore because it was World War II, a couple of generations ago."

With her husband Rick, the Kansas couple set out to do what Kawamoto had not: get the plates recalled and off the road.

Rachel Whitten, a spokeswoman for the Kansas Department of Revenue, said the issue came before the department's review board, which made the decision last month to pull any current license plates with the lettering and prevent its use in future plates.

"It was very gratifying to know there is someone in government that was willing to hear our side of the story and to recognize it and to proactively act on it as quickly as it did," Rick Johnson said.

The Kansas Department of Revenue said there are 731 active registrations containing that random letter combination on standard license plates. Vehicle owners were sent a letter dated Tuesday asking them to return the plate to their county vehicle office within 30 days for replacement at no cost.

Maryland High School football players are out on bail, but are sentenced to life in prison after an attack on the girls locker room. 4 fourteen year old girls were raped when the players stormed the locker room.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Four Maryland 15-year-olds are out on bail but face life in prison after being charged as adults with first-degree rape in a locker room attack.

Prosecutors say the Damascus High School students assaulted four 14-year-olds before junior varsity football practice on Halloween. They say the teens restrained the victims, pulled down their pants and raped or attempted to rape them with a broomstick.

One freshman tried to escape the room but was allegedly blocked, the report said. An alleged victim told police that two players "threw him on the floor" and held his feet down, authorities said. He reportedly said he and was "poked in his buttocks with the wooden broom." Police said the three others were attacked in a similar way, Fox 5 DC reported.

"Victim C said after they finished with him, they proceeded to Victim A where they pulled Victim A's sweatshirt over the top of his head, punched him in the face, knocked him on his back and stomped on him," investigators said in an arrest document.

Police reportedly said in court papers that one victim asked an attacker to stop but was told it was "tradition."

The alleged assaults came to light after a father found his son sobbing in his room later that night, the Fox 5 DC report said.

Fox 5 DC reported Jean Claude Abedi, Kristian Jamal Lee, Will Smith and Caleb Thorpe were released on Monday. A fifth teen is facing lesser second-degree rape charges as a juvenile.

Defense attorney Daniel Wright called it "a hazing incident that went to an extreme."

Prosecutor John McCarthy rejected that, saying "these are crimes."

A grizzly bear killed a mom and her baby at a remote cabin in Canada.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A mother and her 10-month-old daughter were mauled to death by a grizzly bear at a remote cabin in Canada while the 37-year-old woman was on her maternity leave, officials said.

The bodies of Valerie Theoret and her daughter, Adele Roesholt, were discovered around 3 p.m. Monday after the child's father, Gjermund Roesholt, returned to the Yukon cabin in northwest Canada only to have a grizzly bear charge at him, CBC News reported.

Roesholt shot and killed the animal before discovering Theoret and their daughter dead outside.

"It appears they [Theoret and Adele] had been out for a walk when the incident occurred, sometime between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.," the Yukon coroner's office said in a news release.

The family had been spending the last three months at the cabin animal trapping at Einarson Lake prior to the deadly bear attack, CBC News reported. Remy Beaupre, a friend of Theoret, said the school teacher was on maternity leave.

"It was the plan all along to go there and spend a lot of time there, but Valerie couldn't really take a lot of time off because she was a teacher," Beaupre told the news site. "Being on her maternity leave, now was the opportunity for them to all go as a family. So they just took their baby and went out on the trap line."

Beaupre said the couple, who bought the cabin three years ago, was "well-prepared" for incidents, but added, "you never know."

"It's a big, big blow. Everybody is totally devastated right now," Beaupré said. "Lots of our friends are gathering tonight to mourn a little bit and support each other a little bit."

Yukon Royal Canadian Mounted Police said officials are investigating the incident.

She states there is no connection between her and Hillary's email conspiracy

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Ivanka Trump, the eldest daughter and a senior adviser to President Donald Trump, defended her use of a private email account while transitioning to an administration job, insisting to ABC News in an exclusive interview on Tuesday "there's no connection between" her situation and Hillary Clinton's email scandal.

Speaking with ABC News' Deborah Roberts in Wilder, Idaho, where she's promoting STEM initiatives alongside Apple CEO Tim Cook, Ivanka Trump maintained that all of the emails on her private account were properly archived and contained no classified information. She is adamant they bear no resemblance to Hillary Clinton's email scandal, which her father eagerly and frequently condemned as part of his campaign for president.

"All of my emails are stored and preserved. There were no deletions. There is no attempt to hide," she said, adding, "There's no equivalency to what my father's spoken about."

The Washington Post first reported earlier this month that the president's daughter had used a personal email account to conduct official government business. The president has defended his daughter's private email use, telling reporters last week that he looked at the matter and concluded that "they're all in presidential records."

ABC News

"There is no restriction of using personal email," she said. "In fact, we're instructed that if we receive an email to our personal account that could relate to government work, you simply just forward it to your government account so it can be archived."

But last week, Democrats on Capitol Hill wrote that they "want to know if Ivanka complied with the law" and in the next Congress plan to continue their investigation of the Presidential Records Act and Federal Records Act.

Congressional investigators aside, Ivanka Trump said she has no fears of legal exposure for herself, her father, or anyone else in her family with regard to another investigation in Washington: special counsel Robert Mueller's probe into Russian interference in the 2016 elections.

"I know the facts as they relate to me and my family, and so I have nothing to be concerned about," she said.

Asked whether she thinks Mueller's probe should be allowed to continue, Ivanka Trump echoed her father's sentiment that the time has come for the special counsel to close up shop.

"I think it should reach its conclusion. I think it's been a long time that this has been ongoing, but I want it to be done in a way in which nobody could question that it was hurried or rushed," she said. "And I think after this long period of time, we're well beyond that point, so I think it absolutely should reach its conclusion."

In addition to the scrutiny of various investigators in Washington, Ivanka Trump has faced obstacles closer to home during her transition from a working mother of three to the spotlight of the White House. In her role as a senior aide to the president, Ivanka Trump advocates for policy initiatives she is passionate about -- some of which the president supports, some he doesn't.

ABC News

Despite their differences of opinion on some issues, she insists they have a good working relationship.

"He is my father, and he's my boss. And one of the reasons that I have such a good relationship with him in both a personal and professional capacity is because I'm incredibly candid with him," she said.

Sometimes, however, she said she outright disagrees with the president -- "frequently," in fact.

"He knows exactly where I stand on any issue," she said. "I'll always tell you what I'm for, but it is not my place as somebody working within a White House to tell you what I'm against. The only person who knows that is one person, and he knows it."

Nowhere is that dissonance more visible than in her father's immigration policy, where he's been accused of stirring racial sentiment by sending thousands of active-duty military to the southern border to meet a migrant caravan from Central America.

Earlier this week, ABC News reported that border patrol agents dispersed tear gas on migrants who attempted to breach the border. She called the images "heartbreaking" and "devastating" to see as a mother, but agreed with her father that securing the border is the priority.

"I think, like any other person with a heart, it's devastating to see the images and seeing children put at risk. Running towards the border is heartbreaking," she said. "But there are people in the caravan who are not so innocent ... [the president] has to protect our country's security."

A cow who stands at 6 feet 4 inches and weighs more than 3,000 pounds has been saved from the slaughterhouse because of his size.

The 7-year-old Holstein Friesian steer, named Knickers, managed to avoid a trip to the abattoir after it was found that he was too big to pass through a processing facility when his owner tried to put him up for auction last month.

"He was too big to go into the export plant's chain," Geoff Pearson, who owns the Lake Preston cattle farm in Myalup, Australia, where Knickers lives, told ABC News.

"We have a high turnover of cattle and he was lucky enough to stay behind."

Knickers, who is more than double the weight of an average Holstein Friesian cattle breed, was originally bought by Pearson as a "coach"-a steer, or castrated male cow, that leads other cattle-around six years ago.

"He was always a standout steer from the others, a bit bigger than the rest," Pearson told the BBC. Despite other members of Knickers's herd being sent to the slaughterhouse, Pearson said he decided to let Knickers stay on the feedlot as "he's not hurting anyone."

However, after a while with the steer continuing to grow, Pearson has now discovered Knickers is just too big to sell.

Pearson, who reportedly owns around 20,000 cattle, said the huge bovine is still popular with the rest of the cows despite his enormous size.

"You'll put him in a paddock and all the other cattle seem to get attracted to him," Pearson told ABC News.

"Whenever he wants to get up and start walking, there's a trail of hundreds of cattle following him. We all know when Knickers is on the move."

When asked about the unusual name, Pearson explained to the BBC: "When he was young, when we first got him, we had a Brahman steer [a breed of cattle] which was a friend of his.

"So, his name was Bra...so we [had] Bra and Knickers."

According to the Guinness World Records, the biggest living steer in the world is a chianina ox named Bellino, who was more than 6 feet 7 inches tall when he was measured in Rome, Italy in 2010.
