shooting in downtown 3 dead 2 injured it was in an ally in the city.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
As crowds spilled out of the bars on Massachusetts Street downtown around closing time early Sunday morning, Taylor Guess was among those suddenly terrorized by gunfire.

Guess, 22, and her boyfriend were on the sidewalk near 11th and Massachusetts when they heard it.

"It had to have been some kind of automatic weapon," said Guess, of St. Joseph. "It was going boom, boom, boom, boom."

The gunfire that erupted at the crowded intersection left three people dead and two wounded.

Killed were Leah Elizabeth Brown, 22, of Shawnee, and Colwin Lynn Henderson III, 20, and Tre'Mel Dupree Dean, 24, both of Topeka.

None of the three was enrolled at the University of Kansas, according to Erinn Barcomb-Peterson, a university spokeswoman.

The two other victims - one of them a cousin of Dean, relatives said - were being treated at hospitals for injuries that were not life-threatening. A medical helicopter responded to the shooting.

Police, who have released no suspect information, asked for help identifying the shooter or shooters. They said Sunday night that they "believe the shooting stemmed from a physical altercation that occurred near the northwest corner" of 11th and Massachusetts.

Authorities asked anyone who may have seen any fighting or taken any video to call Lawrence police at 785-832-7509 or the Crime Stoppers of Lawrence and Douglas County at 785-843-TIPS.

The shootings brought a tragic end to a lively night in Lawrence. University of Kansas basketball's Late Night in the Phog had drawn a big crowd at Allen Fieldhouse. Downtown streets filled with people going to bars, restaurants and concerts, including the #ASSJAMZ event at the Granada Theater, 1020 Massachusetts St.

It was not far from there, according to witnesses, that the trouble started with a fistfight near 11th and Massachusetts about 1:40 a.m.

Then, gunshots - at least 20 of them, as Interim Police Chief Anthony Brixius told the Lawrence Journal-World. Police heard the shots from their headquarters near the intersection. Responding officers and medical personnel found the five victims.

Brown's mother, Gretchen Brown, said Brown had been out with a friend at Brothers Bar & Grill just before the shooting. The friend called Gretchen Brown to say that as the two women left the bar, they saw a fistfight going on nearby. Then they heard gunfire, and Leah Brown collapsed.

The gunfire drove Guess of St. Joseph to duck for cover in the alcove outside the entrance of a nearby business. She and her boyfriend were joined by some 20 people who crammed into the space to hide from the shooting.

As the shooting seemed to be getting closer, Guess and others decided to make a run for it, fleeing south down Massachusetts Street. Running among the crowd, they stepped around people who'd thrown themselves down on the sidewalk.

"People were panicking and pushing and falling on each other," Guess said.

When the gunfire finally stopped, Guess and others returned to the area and saw ambulance crews tending to the victims, who were scattered on the street. Blood trails extended the length of the block.

Investigators closed two blocks of Massachusetts as they collected evidence Sunday morning. Yellow crime scene tape was stretched across storefronts, and dozens of white evidence markers dotted the scene.

Dean and Henderson were in Lawrence attending the #ASSJAMZ event, according to relatives.

They were with a group that included Dean's sister and the cousin who was wounded, according to Dean's oldest brother, T'Juan Dean.

He said he thought they were innocent bystanders to the melee that broke out among a crowd at 11th and Massachusetts.

Dean's grandmother, Birdie Dean, said the family is trying to piece together what happened.

"It is unreal," said Birdie Dean, who lives in Kansas City, Kan. "It's taken all of the family by shock. It sounded like he was in the wrong place.

"Tre'Mel was really a sweet young man who minded his own business," she said.

The family had lived in Kansas City, Kan. for a number of years but moved back to Topeka, where Dean's mother was raised. Dean was planning to leave Topeka and start a new life in California

Henderson had recently become a father, relatives said.

Henderson's mother, Novel Carter, said her son had recently been released after being incarcerated and was aiming to turn his life around. He pleaded guilty in September 2016 to two counts of aggravated battery and one of criminal discharge of a firearm, court records say.

Ten months ago, Henderson's girlfriend gave birth to his first child, a girl.

"(He was) trying to change around for his baby he loved so much," Carter said.

Patrick Frazell, a 23-year-old Lawrence resident, said he saw the aftermath of the shooting. As he left the nearby Jimmy John's near Ninth and Massachusetts streets, he heard sirens and saw what looked like a body covered by a white sheet behind the crime scene tape.

"It's pretty frightening to see in Lawrence," Frazell said. "I live two blocks from here. So to have this happen where I lay my head at night, like this is going on right where I sleep."

The shooting came on the same night as KU basketball's annual Late Night in the Phog, where Grammy-nominated rapper Lil Yachty performed for about 20 minutes at Allen Fieldhouse. After the event, KU guard Devonté Graham told reporters Lil Yachty was going to perform later that night at the Granada.

Maddy Bailey, 24, of Lawrence had been at a bar downtown and left about 30 minutes before the shooting. There were "a lot of excited, hyped-up people downtown," she said. "It was just an extra-crazy night."

News of the shooting had Bailey's co-workers at a downtown ice cream shop "freaking out," she said.

William McGuinness of Lawrence was downtown listening to a Latin music band Saturday night and left about 12:30 a.m., before the shootings. He learned about the killings Sunday morning.

"I was just very sad," he said. "Lawrence is a very nice place. I think things like this happen everywhere nowadays. Sadly, that is what we live with now."

Only minutes after police took down the police tape at the shooting scene, two KU students came and unwrapped the cellophane from a bouquet of fresh flowers.

Chad Uhl and his friend Emma Anderson placed the bouquet at the base of a small tree in front of the Aladdin Cafe, 1021 Massachusetts St., where blood had only just been washed away.

They said some of their friends were on Massachusetts Street early Sunday around the time bullets began to fly. They only became aware of what the noise and commotion were about when sirens broke the night and police descended on the area.

"I was moved by it," Anderson, 22, said of the killing. "I thought flowers are a good symbol of peace and the absence of violence."

dubai is planing on makeing a space simulation city to prepare for the mars colonization.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
For such a small place, Dubai sure makes a helluva lot of noise when it comes to ideas of the outlandish variety.

The latest plan is for a huge "space simulation city" to provide "a viable and realistic model to simulate living on the surface of Mars." Yes, the UAE city is clearly thinking ahead with this latest project, though if Elon Musk gets his way, perhaps not that far ahead.

Costing around $135 million and covering a space of 1.9 million square feet, the Mars Science City hopes to attract science experts from around the world to help make the project a success. The completed design will include laboratories for food, energy, and water where scientists can research ways to improve the technology to help sustain life on the red planet.

Planners want to place a team inside the city for a year to help develop new ways of living in a harsh environment. Similar experiments have already taken place in other parts of the world, but the living space has usually been far small than what the UAE has planned.

The simulation city will also include a museum that "displays humanitys greatest space achievements, including educational areas meant to engage young citizens with space, and inspire in them a passion for exploration and discovery," the UAE government said in a release.

The space city the work of internationally renowned Danish architect Bjarke Ingels will be sealed inside 3D-printed walls incorporating sand from the Emirati desert.

In 2016 the UAE revealed plans to colonize the red planet in the next 100 years. For a place that has plenty of experience in transforming vast, barren lands into a bustling, thriving cityscape, maybe it'll actually happen. The Middle Eastern nation plans to send its first unmanned probe to Mars in 2020.

Big ideas

Dubai is already home to the world's largest indoor ski slope (there aren't many skiing opportunities outside in the desert heat); uses "flying" firefighters to tackle blazes; and even has robot cops helping to keep law and order on the city streets.

It also has plans to build a rainforest inside a hotel; wants to launch a pilotless, flying-taxi service; and could be the first place in the world to set up the ultra-high-speed Hyperloop transportation system.

O.J Simpson released after 9 years of being in nevada prison is planning to stay in vegas

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
After serving nine years for a Las Vegas kidnapping and armed robbery,he left prison early Sunday to start a new chapter as a parolee.

Simpson's parole plan was agreed upon at Lovelock Correctional Center prior to his release, Nevada's Division of Parole and Probation said.

"Mr. Simpson submitted a parole release plan for a residence in Las Vegas, Nevada. The plan was investigated and approved by the Division of Parole and Probation," it said.

The center did not provide more specifics of Simpson's release plan, saying it was up to Simpson, his family and his attorney as to whether they wanted such information shared.

However, now that the former NFL star is out of prison, those who know him are not expecting him to become a recluse.

"He's not going to hide," said longtime friend Tom Scotto, who attended Simpson's parole hearing this summer.

Several associates told CNN Simpson would be living in a gated residence with unspecified friends in a wealthy Las Vegas suburb, and planned to move to Florida later on.

"He's going to focus on kids, friends, his family and golf," Scotto said. "Maybe not the first day or second, but he is going to go out."

Two of Simpson's children live in the Tampa Bay area in Florida, one lives in Los Angeles and another in Georgia.

'Don't come back'

Simpson was picked up by a friend shortly after midnight local time Sunday, according to Brooke Keast, a spokeswoman for the Nevada Department of Corrections.

"I told him, 'Don't come back,' and he responded, 'I don't intend to,'" she said. "He was upbeat, personable and seemed happy to get on with his life."

Unlike previous instances, where controversy followed wherever he went, Simpson was released in the middle of the night to avoid media attention.

"Our biggest concern was our safety and the public's safety and not wanting anybody, paparazzi, to follow him," Keast said. "He left through a big blue door through the front gatehouse and exited quietly. He looked down because he didn't want to be photographed."

Meeting with parole officer

Before his release, prison officials did an inventory of what he wanted to take with him or leave behind. He walked out of prison with paperwork and "three or four boxes about the size of a microwave," according to Keast.

Inside the boxes were items such as a hot plate, clothing and shower shoes, she said.

Simpson also met with one person who'll become a fixture in his post-prison life: his parole officer.

"They went over what he needs for parole and where he needs to check in, what he should do to get a driver's license, et cetera, (and) instructions on what to do once he's out there," Keast said.

The Nevada Board of Parole Commissioners voted unanimously in July to release Simpson after he served nine years of a 33-year sentence for armed robbery and kidnapping.

During that robbery in 2007, he was part of a group that raided a hotel and casino to steal sports memorabilia at gunpoint. Simpson, a former player for the Buffalo Bills, said the items belonged to him.

No drugs, no alcohol

As a parolee, Simpson will have to meet a number of conditions set by the Nevada parole board.

While out of prison, he won't have the liberty to consume alcohol in large quantities or hang out with ex-convicts. The Nevada parole board forbids parolees from associating with convicted felons and people who engage in criminal activity, or possessing guns and drugs. Alcohol abuse can get a parolee hauled back to prison.

"You are permitt ed to consume alcoholic beverages but not in excess," the conditions of parole supervision read. "You shall submit to a medically recognized test for blood/breath content. Test results of .08 alcohol or higher shall be sufficient proof of excess."

Simpson received a bad score on his parole risk assessment guideline in the drug/alcohol abuse category, with the document citing him for "frequent abuse, serious disruption of functioning."

He testified that he had been drinking alcohol the day of the raid on memorabilia dealers that led to his arrest and conviction.

State of Florida 'objects'

Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote a letter to Florida's Department of Corrections on Friday saying she did not want Simpson to move to her state and asking them to "notify all appropriate authorities of the State of Nevada that the State of Florida objects to the granting of such permission."

But Simpson lawyer Malcolm LaVergne lambasted Bondi over the letter, accusing her of exploiting the issue to score political points ahead of elections.

"One hundred percent Mr. Simpson will be able to move to Florida," he said Sunday. "She doesn't have jurisdiction over his move."

But Shawn Arruti, spokesman for Nevada Parole and Probation, said it's not a sure thing.

"Interstate compact is not a guaranteed thing," he said after Simpson's parole hearing in July, referring to an agreement between two states. "Interstate compact is a privilege, but it's a privilege based on meeting certain criteria. And Florida, when they do their investigation, they'll make the determination of whether or not they're going to be willing to accept his case. "

From NFL star to murder suspect

Simpson spent a lifetime in the limelight -- first for his athletic prowess, charm and good looks, then as a murder suspect in the 1994 killing of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman.

His murder trial in Los Angeles was dubbed "the trial of the century" and sparked years of debate over race and justice.

Simpson pleaded "100% not guilty" and assembled a team of famous local and national lawyers. He was eventually acquitted in 1995, but many questioned whether he got away with murder.

The victims' families filed a suit for wrongful death. Two years after his acquittal, he was ordered to pay $33.5 million in damages.

The Royals lost their final game yesterday against the Diamondbacks. Near the end of the game Ned Yost, Head Coach of the Royals, pulled Lorenzo Cain, Alcides Escobar, Mike Moustakas, and Eric Hosmer from the game for a final goodbye because they will most likely not be playing together next season.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Some six years ago, Alcides Escobar sat in Royals manager Ned Yost's office at Kauffman Stadium, breaths rattling through his body and tears pooling in his eyes.

The Royals had acquired Escobar in a trade that brought Lorenzo Cain to Kansas City and sent Zack Greinke to Milwaukee ahead of the 2011 season. Although he'd been a top prospect for the Brewers organization, Escobar had hit inconsistently his first full season in the majors.

The struggles followed him. He batted .216 through the first two months of the season. He was all of 24 years old with barely more than a year of service time. The options were still there for Royals brass to send him to Class AAA if the spirit so moved them.

All of this weighed on Escobar as he sat in front of Yost, a man who had coached him seven years earlier in instructional ball.

But Yost put a stop to the emotional spiral unwinding Escobar before the heaves could turn into sobs.

"When I first got here, one day he called me to his office. I was worried about being demoted," Escobar said. "He said, 'Don't worry. Don't think about Class AAA. Don't think about anything. You're going to play shortstop no matter what happens, hit or no hit.' That motivated me and from that moment forward, things changed."

Since then, Yost has expressed the same unrelenting patience for his starting shortstop. Past the slumps, Yost could see it clearly: Escobar would become an All-Star yet.

Their journey together began long before Escobar vaulted to the top of prospect watch lists. Yost and Escobar were younger then. Escobar had range at shortstop but at the age of 17 didn't look anything like a major-leaguer.

"He looked like a broomstick," Yost said. "You always knew that the hands worked. He was tremendously athletic. But the thing I remember most about him was his teeth. He smiled and his teeth went (crooked). He got braces and now he's got a beautiful smile. ... He was such a special kid."

Eventually, Escobar grew into his body, put on muscle and fixed his smile. He rose through the minors at a steady rate. He made his major-league debut barely two weeks prior to Yost getting fired as Milwaukee's manager in September of 2008.

Escobar never would have imagined he'd wind up under Yost's tutelage again. Then Royals general manager Dayton Moore took a gamble.

Moore received the kind of Gold Glove-worthy athlete who would go on to play 162 games in three of his eight seasons in a Royals uniform. He got an additional 31 games from him in the postseason, as well as an American League pennant and a World Series trophy.

And Escobar got the type of manager a streaky player like him needed. Someone who would wait out his offensive droughts - he experienced the worst first half of his career in the final year of his contract this season, batting .185 in April and May - and let his glove speak for him, even when critics called for change.

Yost is the type of manager that, unbidden, will rattle off numbers just to prove others wrong. He did not pull punches when it came to Escobar, citing statistics in post-game conferences at moments throughout the second half.

"To see where Esky's come, a couple of months ago with 240 at-bats hitting .170-something, now up to .240 - that's a lot of production here in the last couple of months," Yost said on Aug. 23, after a 6-4 win over the Rockies at home.

Escobar had indeed found a groove, however unheralded. He went from batting .199 after the 70th game of the season on June 20, to ending his campaign on Sunday with a .250 average.

When told that Yost said he'd always known Escobar would be special, Escobar paused during his interview for a breath.

"It fills me with happiness," Escobar said, "knowing that a person who's been a manager for more than 10 years said something like that about one of his player. For me or anyone else, that gives you so much joy."

After playing 1,104 games in a Royals uniform, and stringing together 332 consecutive starts at shortstop, and going 33 for 100 with 13 RBIs in what could be his final month in this organization, Escobar will return home to the waiting game.

He'll play with his son. He'll rest his body. He'll inevitably reminisce about the seven seasons he spent battling alongside Lorenzo Cain, Eric Hosmer and Mike Moustakas. He'll wonder if he might get a 14th year with Yost.

At 30, he will become a free agent for the first time in his career when the 2017 World Series ends.

Until then, he will be a Royal.

"This was the best thing that happened to me," Escobar said. "I accomplished so many of my goals here. There are so many memories. I could never forget anything that happened to me in Kansas City."

Mexico earthquake death toll is now at 361. With 8 people still missing in a collapsed office building. 136 females, 84 males and 29 children dead that they can identify. But there's many more out there that are dead.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
MEXICO CITY - The death toll from Mexico's magnitude 7.1 earthquake rose to 361 on Sunday after another casualty was confirmed in the capital, where a search continued at the site of a collapsed seven-story office building in a central neighborhood.

National Civil Defense chief Luis Felipe Puente reported on Twitter that the dead include 220 people killed in Mexico City by the Sept. 19 quake. The rest were in Morelos, Puebla and three other states.

The toll has continued to climb gradually nearly two weeks after the earthquake as bodies keep being pulled from the rubble.

Mexico City Mayor Miguel Angel Mancera said eight people were still believed to be missing inside the wreckage of the office building, one of 38 structures that collapsed in the capital.

Rescuers "continue to work intensely" at the site, Mancera said in a Sunday briefing on rescue and recovery efforts.

He also confirmed the latest figure of 220 dead in his city and said all but one had been identified. Female victims outnumbered male victims 136 to 84, and 29 of the dead were children.

Mancera said 25 people remained hospitalized, including four whose condition was given as "red" and 21 listed as "yellow."

Thousands of civilians formed volunteer brigades to clear rubble and offer other help at the collapse sites, and many more have donated money, medicines and supplies at collection centers.

Mancera said officials were in the process of compiling a database of those volunteers to create a kind of "emergency corps in Mexico City where we know who to call, who to activate, who to contact" in a future crisis. He said it would still be strictly on a volunteer basis.

"The response of solidarity that Mexico City has had from civil society should not be cast aside," the mayor said.

Mancera added that he would present a "digital risk atlas" in the coming days for the city, much of which lies on the soft soil of a former lakebed and is particularly vulnerable to earthquakes.

Story highlights

Witness: Concertgoers risked their lives to try to hold other people's wounds closed

Gunman's brother: "We're still just completely befuddled. Dumbstruck."

Stephen Paddock, who sent bullets and terror down on thousands attending a Jason Aldean concert in Las Vegas, had an arsenal in his 32nd-floor hotel room and at his home 80 miles away, officials said.

Police recovered 23 guns from his Las Vegas hotel room and another 19 guns from Paddock's home in Mesquite, Nevada, Clark County Assistant Sheriff Todd Fasulo said.

Authorities said Paddock killed 59 people and injured another 527 early Monday in the deadliest mass shooting in modern US history.

In the hours after the retired accountant committed the shooting, authorities rolled out frightening new details, including the discovery of scopes on rifles at the resort and explosives at his home.

But what they couldn't explain is why the man who had never faced any notable criminal charges did it. There was no known motive late Monday.

Even Paddock's brother had no answers.

"We're still just completely befuddled. Dumbstruck," Eric Paddock said in Orlando, Florida.

Latest developments

- A team of six officers spoke with security at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, where Paddock was staying, and searched the hotel floor-by-floor Sunday night before they found Paddock's room, Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo told reporters.

- Paddock, 64, fired at the officers through the door, Lombardo said. A SWAT team broke down the door, but Paddock had already killed himself, Lombardo said.

- Authorities recovered 23 guns from Paddock's room, said Clark County NV Assistant Sheriff Todd Fasulo. Lombardo said several of the rifles had scopes on them.

- Another 19 firearms, along with explosives and several thousand rounds of ammunition in Paddock's Mesquite, Nevada, home. The gunman apparently had smashed out two windows to increase his range of targets.

- The sheriff said a SWAT team was standing by at a house in northern Nevada. A law enforcement official confirmed the FBI is present in Reno.

Three Americans won the Nobel medicine prize for their circadian rhythm work. Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash and Michael W. Young isolated the gene that controls the daily biological rhythm. They won a grant of 1.1 million dollars. Circadian rhythm adapts the working of the body during different phases of the day. This influences sleep, behavior, hormone levels, body temperature, and metabolism. Their main point was about proper sleep hydration. Rosbash said that he got the hone call from Sweaden around 5 am this morning. "I'm still shocked. I'm sitting here in my pajamas with my wife. I hadn't even had a thought about this," he said. "I haven't spoken with my colleagues yet. I haven't even had time to have a cup of coffee."

The Nobel Prize for Medicine has been awarded to three Americans for discoveries about the body's daily rhythms.

The laureates are Jeffrey Hall, Michael Rosbash and Michal Young.

Robash is on the faculty at Brandeis University, Young at Rockefeller University and Hall is at the University of Maine.

The citation for the 9-million-kronor ($1.1 million) prize says the researchers isolated a gene that controls the normal daily biological rhythm. They "were able to peek inside our biological clock and elucidate its inner workings."

Circadian rhythms adapt one's physiology to different phases of the day, influencing sleep, behavior, hormone levels, body temperature and metabolism.

A Michigan couple said they were praying for their newborn daughters health rather then take her to the hospital. The mother said she saw that the babies skin color was off and that there was blood coming from her nose. The baby was found lifeless in a bouncy seat later that morning. The father tried one rescue breath but had no success. The parents are being charged with involuntary manslaughter.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A Michigan couple who attempted to pray for their newborn daughter's health rather than seek medical attention have been charged with involuntary manslaughter in connection to the infant's death. Rachel Joy Piland, 30, and, Joshua Piland, 36, were reportedly warned by a midwife about their daughter's jaundice and the potential for brain damage or death, The Lansing State Journal reported.

A detective testified that rather than seek medical help, Rachel Piland replied that "God makes no mistakes."

Rachel Piland had delivered their daughter, Abigail, at the family's home on Feb. 6 with the help of a midwife, the news outlet reported. The next day, the midwife allegedly warned Rachel about Abigail's health, and advised she be taken to a pediatrician or the hospital. Rachel then canceled an appointment with the midwife for Feb. 8.
MOM FACING JAIL OVER REFUSAL TO VACCINATE SON
Rachel's mother, Rebecca Kerr, reportedly observed that the infant's skin color was off, and then observed blood coming from the baby's nose. Detective Peter Scaccia testified that Kerr wanted to call for help on Feb. 9, but "Rachel would not allow her," and instead went upstairs to pray, The Lansing State Journal reported.

The baby was found lifeless in a bouncy seat later that morning, and Joshua attempted "one rescue breath but had no success," Scaccia said. Joshua allegedly did not want to perform CPR on the child because he only knew protocol for adults.

"They then brought Abigail upstairs to pray for her. Joshua continued to massage Abigail, attempting to get her good air," Scaccia testified, according to the news outlet. "Both Josh and (Rachel) reached out to friends and fellow church members to come to their home and pray for Abigail's resurrection, but never called the police."
WOMAN ACCUSED IN PLOT TO KILL NIECE WITH POISONED BREAST MILK
Scaccia said a call to authorities was placed by Rachel's brother, who lives in California. A medical examiner later determined Abigail died from unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia and kernicterus, and attributed both to the infant's jaundice. He said she would be alive if the parents had sought treatment, the news outlet reported.

They were each charged with a single count of involuntary manslaughter and released after posting bond. The next hearing is scheduled for Oct. 5, with each facing up to 15 years in jail if convicted.

LAS VEGAS, Nevada, Oct 2 (Reuters) -- A gunman killed at least 50 people and wounded more than 200 at a country music festival on the Vegas Strip on Sunday, raining down rapid fire from the 32nd floor of a hotel for several minutes before he was shot dead by police.

The death toll, which police emphasized was preliminary, would make the attack the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, eclipsing last year's massacre of 49 people at an Orlando night club.

Thousands of panicked people fled the scene, in some cases trampling one another as law enforcement officers scrambled to locate and kill the gunman. Shocked concertgoers, some with blood on their clothes, wandered the streets after the attack.

Police identified the gunman as area resident Stephen Paddock, 64, and said they had no information yet about his motive.

He was not believed to be connected to any militant group, Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo told reporters.

"We have no idea what his belief system was," Lombardo said. "We've located numerous firearms within the room that he occupied."

Authorities believed they had located Paddock's roommate, who they identified as Marilou Danley. He gave no details of whether she was suspected of involvement in the attack but described her as an "associate."

Police had located two cars that belonged to the suspect.

The dead included one off-duty police officer, Lombardo said. Two on-duty officers were injured, including one who was in stable condition after surgery and one who sustained minor injuries, Lombardo said. Police warned the death toll may rise.

'JUST KEPT GOING ON'

Video taken of the attack showed panicked crowds fleeing as sustained rapid gunfire ripped through the area.

"It sounded like fireworks. People were just dropping to the ground. It just kept going on," said Steve Smith, a 45-year-old visitor from Phoenix, Arizona, who had flown in for the concert. He said the gunfire went on for an extended period of time.

"Probably 100 shots at a time. It would sound like it was reloading and then it would go again," Smith said. "People were shot and trying to get out. A lot of people were shot."

lass="highlight">Las lass="highlight">Vegas's casinos, nightclubs and shopping draw some 3.5 million visitors from around the world each year and the area was packed with visitors when the shooting broke out shortly after 10 p.m. local time.

Mike McGarry, a 53-year-old financial adviser from Philadelphia, was at the concert when he heard hundreds of shots ring out.

"It was crazy - I laid on top of the kids. They're 20. I'm 53. I lived a good life," McGarry said. The back of his shirt bore footmarks, after people ran over him in the panicked crowd.

The shooting broke out on the final night of the three-day Route 91 Harvest festival, a sold-out event attended by thousands and featuring top acts such as Eric Church, Sam Hunt and Jason Aldean.

"Tonight has been beyond horrific," Aldean said in a statement on Instagram. "It hurts my heart that this would happen to anyone who was just coming out to enjoy what should have been a fun night."

'WE'RE HORRIFIED'

The suspected shooter's brother, Eric Paddock, said the family was stunned by the news.

"We have no idea. We're horrified. We're bewildered and our condolences go out to the victims," Eric Paddock said in a brief telephone interview, his voice trembling. "We have no idea in the world."

U.S. President Donald Trump offered his condolences to the victims via a post on Twitter early Monday.

"My warmest condolences and sympathies to the victims and families of the terrible Las Vegas shooting. God bless you!" Trump said.

The rampage was reminiscent of a mass shooting at a Paris rock concert in November 2015 that killed 89 people, part of a wave of coordinated attacks by Islamist militants that left 130 dead.

The concert venue was in an outdoor area known as Las Vegas Village, across the Strip from the Mandalay Bay and the Luxor hotels.

"Our thoughts & prayers are with the victims of last night's tragic events," the Mandalay Bay said on Twitter.

Shares of U.S. casino operators fell in premarket trading on Wall Street, with MGM Resorts International, which owns the Mandalay Bay, down 5 percent. Melco Resorts & Entertainment Ltd, Wynn Resorts Ltd and Las lass="highlight">Vegas Sands Corp each fell 1 to 2 percent.

Gunman kills at least 50, wounds 200 in Las Vegas concert attack

Seahawks get key plays from unlikely sources in comeback win over Colts

Justin Coleman had an interception return for a touchdown and J.D. McKissic recorded two TDs as Seattle outscored the Colts 36-3 after halftime.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
SEATTLE -- It took a handful of big plays to help the Seattle Seahawks overcome yet another slow start on offense.

Cornerback Justin Coleman, running back J.D. McKissic and defensive end Marcus Smith delivered.

Wait, who?

Indeed, the Seahawks got major contributions from some unlikely sources in their 46-18 win over the Indianapolis Colts Sunday night. Coleman returned his first career interception for a touchdown, Smith had a hand in another defensive score and McKissic found the end zone twice to help the Seahawks turn a halftime deficit into a runaway victory.

It may have come at a cost. Standout rookie running back Chris Carson, who started all four games, was carted off the field in the fourth quarter with an air cast on his left leg.

The Seahawks outscored the Colts 36-3 in the second half. According to ESPN Stats & Information, that marks Seattle's most second-half points and biggest point differential in a second half in franchise history.

It turned out to be another dominant performance under the lights by the Seahawks. They improved to 20-3-1 in primetime games since coach Pete Carroll arrived in 2010, including 13-1 at home. In those 24 games, Seattle has outscored opponents 627-316.

But their latest prime-time blowout started off on the wrong foot.

Starting cornerback Jeremy Lane left the game for good after injuring his hip on the opening possession. That forced rookie rookie Shaquill Griffin to go from the third cornerback to the starter opposite Richard Sherman, which bumped Coleman into the nickle role.

He read Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett and jumped an out route, picking it off and returning it 28 yards for a touchdown that gave Seattle a 10-2 second-quarter lead.

* 2017 schedule, results
* Standings

Seattle scored another defensive touchdown in the third quarter when Smith hit Brissett as he was throwing, causing a fumble that middle linebacker Bobby Wagner returned 21 yards to the end zone. Smith, a former first-round pick by the Philadelphia Eagles, played extensively after starter Cliff Avril left the game in the first half with a neck injury.

McKissic scored on a 30-yard run in the third quarter and then caught a 27-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter, a perfect illustration of his versatility as a running back/wide receiver.

McKissic was active for the first time this season with C.J. Prosise out due to an ankle injury. Thomas Rawls was a healthy scratch while Eddie Lacy played for the first time since Week 1. If Carson's injury is as serious as it looked, the Seahawks will need those four to step up in his absence.

Facebook plans to turn over more than 3,000 Russia-linked ads to congressional investigators Monday, according to a Facebook official.

The social media company will turn over the ads to the House and Senate Intelligence Committees and the Senate Judiciary Committee, which are all investigating Russian election interference.

Last month, following an internal review, Facebook revealed it had discovered to 450 accounts and about $100,000 in ad spending linked to Russia that had spent on divisive issues during the U.S. presidential campaign.

It's unclear if the panels will make them public, though some members have called for their release.

Facebook and Twitter have both briefed Congress on the findings of their internal investigations.

Last week, Twitter revealed it had found 200 accounts linked to the Russian activity identified by Facebook.

The Senate Intelligence Committee has invited Facebook, Twitter and Google to testify publicly in November about Russian use of the platforms during the election.

Story highlights

Witness: Concertgoers risked their lives to try to hold other people's wounds closed

Gunman's brother: "We're still just completely befuddled. Dumbstruck."

Stephen Paddock, who sent bullets and terror down on thousands attending a Jason Aldean concert in Las Vegas, had an arsenal in his 32nd-floor hotel room and at his home 80 miles away, officials said.

Police recovered 23 guns from his Las Vegas hotel room and another 19 guns from Paddock's home in Mesquite, Nevada, Clark County Assistant Sheriff Todd Fasulo said.

Authorities said Paddock killed 59 people and injured another 527 early Monday in the deadliest mass shooting in modern US history.

In the hours after the retired accountant committed the shooting, authorities rolled out frightening new details, including the discovery of scopes on rifles at the resort and explosives at his home.

But what they couldn't explain is why the man who had never faced any notable criminal charges did it. There was no known motive late Monday.

Even Paddock's brother had no answers.

"We're still just completely befuddled. Dumbstruck," Eric Paddock said in Orlando, Florida.

Latest developments

- A team of six officers spoke with security at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, where Paddock was staying, and searched the hotel floor-by-floor Sunday night before they found Paddock's room, Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo told reporters.

- Paddock, 64, fired at the officers through the door, Lombardo said. A SWAT team broke down the door, but Paddock had already killed himself, Lombardo said.

- Authorities recovered 23 guns from Paddock's room, said Clark County NV Assistant Sheriff Todd Fasulo. Lombardo said several of the rifles had scopes on them.

- Another 19 firearms, along with explosives and several thousand rounds of ammunition in Paddock's Mesquite, Nevada, home. The gunman apparently had smashed out two windows to increase his range of targets.

- The sheriff said a SWAT team was standing by at a house in northern Nevada. A law enforcement official confirmed the FBI is present in Reno.

NFL players are still taking a knee during the national anthem. But when Carolina Panthers quarter back, Cam Newton scored a touchdown, he held up his fist in a black-power salute.  "It was to signify Black Power, but more importantly, I pray every night for God to give me a pinnacle to give people hope," Newton said after the game to CNN news.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
And many San Francisco 49ers knelt during the National Anthem, although some put their hands over their hearts.

Former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick pioneered the protests last year when he took a knee during the anthem over what he said was social and racial injustice.

As they were last week, some players' protests were met with boos from fans.

Here's a roundup of highlights from stadiums around the league.

Boos in Baltimore

Before the Baltimore Ravens took the field against Pittsburgh Steelers, the public-address announcer asked the crowd to join the Ravens organization "to pray that we as a nation embrace kindness, unity, equality, and justice for all Americans," CNN affiliate WJZ reported.

The Ravens took a knee, then stood for the playing of the National Anthem, the station reported. The crowd appeared to boo as players knelt.

Last week, fans also booed when the Dallas Cowboys, including owner Jerry Jones, took a knee before locking arms during the anthem.

The Steelers all took the field before the anthem and stood during the song. Many Steelers, including head coach Mike Tomlin and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, were shown with their hand over their hearts.

So was Steeler tackle Alejandro Villanueva, a former captain in the Army and an ex-Ranger. Last week, while the rest of his teammates remained in the locker room during the anthem, Villanueva stood in the tunnel alone with his hand over his heart.

Fists raised in Cleveland

Some players took stronger stances.

Several Cleveland Browns players held their fists high during the anthem before their game against the Cincinnati Bengals. At least one Browns fan also raised his fist in the air while those next to him saluted or held their hands over their hearts.

Bengals players were shown standing. The broadcast didn't show any players from either team kneeling.

Lynch vs. Trump

Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch was spotted walking into Sports Authority Field in Denver Sunday wearing a T-shirt that read, "EVERYBODY VS. TRUMP," according to KGO, a CNN affiliate.

Lynch later sat on the bench, as he usually does, during the playing of the National Anthem before the game with the Denver Broncos -- the only Raider to do so, according to multiple reports.

Taking a knee in London

A trio of Miami Dolphins players -- Kenny Stills, Michael Thomas and Julius Thomas -- also took a knee as the anthem played before their game against the New Orleans Saints at Wembley Stadium in London, England, according to CNN affiliate WFOR. The three players stood for the British national anthem, the station reported.

The Saints, including quarterback Drew Brees, were seen kneeling as a team before the anthem.Most Saints players stood while the anthem played, and some locked arms.

Other players kneel, sit, wear T-shirts

Several Buffalo Bills players took a knee during the anthem before the game against the Atlanta Falcons; most Bills players stood with their arms linked. The Falcons, including head coach Dan Quinn, stood with their arms linked, too.

Detroit Loins players Jalen Reeves-Maybin and Steve Longa took a knee during the anthem before playing the Minnesota Vikings. Some Lions players locked arms, as well as the entire Vikings team, according to announcer.

Before the game between the Indianapolis Colts and Seattle Seahawks, the Colts players released a statement saying the players who had previously knelt during the anthem "did not intend to disrespect our flag, our National Anthem or those who serve our country."

Rather, the players wanted to use their platform to raise awareness and talk about "about real equality, the injustices against black and brown people, police brutality, respect, unity and equal opportunity," the statement said.

"Our players are hurting, our people are hurting, our neighborhoods are hurting, and kneeling was a direct response to that hurt," the statement said.

During warmups, some Colts players, including quarterback Andrew Luck, wore black T-shirts with "WE WILL" on the front and "STAND FOR...EQUALITY, JUSTICE, UNITY, RESPECT, DIALOGUE, OPPORTUNITY" on the back.

The Colts were shown standing during the anthem with their arms linked on the TV broadcast. The broadcast showed Seattle Seahawks defensive linemen Michael Bennett, Cliff Avril, and Frank Clark seated during anthem; other Seahawks were standing. Other Seahawks also sat during the anthem, a photo from CNN affiliate KIRO-TV showed.

'Stay united, not divided'

Carolina Panthers teammates Thomas Davis and Jonathan Stewart joined in prayer on the sidelines before the team's game against the New England Patriots in Foxborough, Massachusetts, CNN affiliate WBTV reported.

Panthers linebacker Shaq Thompson sported blue shoes with the words, "Stay United, Not Divided." The shoes also featured black and white hands shaking hands, WBTV reported.

Carolina Panther Julius Peppers, who remained in the locker room during the anthem before the team's game last week, was on the field for the song Sunday.

Patriots players, including quarterback Tom Brady, stood during the anthem and rested their hands on the player next to them.

Newton stood for the anthem. He later raised his fist after scoring a rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter in the 33-30 win.

"It was to signify Black Power, but more importantly, I pray every night for God to give me a pinnacle to give people hope," Newton said after the game, according to a video of his post-game press conference posted on the official Panthers site.

"I did it to ... show black pride because I am an African-American," Newton said.

Newton said he also wanted people to see "the joy... that I go out there and play with."

'Embrace your differences'

About half the members of the San Francisco 49ers knelt during the National Anthem before their game against the Arizona Cardinals in Glendale, Arizona, while some of those kneeling also placed their hands over their hearts. Their teammates stood behind them, with one hand over their hearts and the other on the shoulders of the kneeling players.

The 49ers issued a statement saying the demonstration was meant to show unity, love and brotherhood.

"For more than a year, members of our team have protested the oppression and social injustices still present in our society. While some may not have taken a knee or raised a fist, we have all shared the desire to influence positive change," the team said.

"Our demonstration is simply a representation of how we hope our country can also come together by putting differences aside and solving its problems," said the team, which encouraged fans to "embrace your differences, find strength in them, and come together for the good of all."

At least 50 people were killed and more than 200 wounded when a gunman opened fire on an outdoor music festival on the Las Vegas Strip in the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history.

Authorities have identified the suspected gunman in the Sunday night shooting as Stephen Paddock. Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo said officers confronted Paddock on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino across the street from the concert. Paddock is dead.

Previously, the deadliest mass shooting had been an attack at an Orlando, Florida, nightclub that killed 49. Before that, the deadliest shooting in the U.S. was the 2007 attack at Virginia Tech, in which a student killed 32 people before killing himself.

Here's a look at some of the nation's deadliest rampages since 2012:

- Oct. 1, 2017: A gunman identified by authorities as Stephen Paddock opened fire on an outdoor music festival on the Las Vegas Strip from the 32nd floor of casino, killing at least 50 people and wounding more than 200. He died at the scene after officers went into the hotel room he was using.

- June 12, 2016: Gunman Omar Mateen opened fire at an Orlando, Florida, nightclub, killing 49 people. Mateen was later killed in a shootout with police.

- Feb. 25, 2016: Cedric Ford, 38, killed three people and wounded 14 others lawnmower factory where he worked in the central Kansas community of Hesston. The local police chief killed him during a shootout with 200 to 300 workers still in the building, authorities said.

- Feb. 20, 2016: Jason Dalton, 45, is accused of randomly shooting and killing six people and severely wounding two others during a series of attacks over several hours in the Kalamazoo, Michigan, area. Authorities say he paused between shootings to make money as an Uber driver. He faces murder and attempted murder charges.

- Dec. 2, 2015: Syed Rizwan Farook, 28, and Tashfeen Malik, 27, opened fire at a social services center in San Bernardino, California, killing 14 people and wounding more than 20. They fled the scene but died hours later in a shootout with police.

- Oct. 1, 2015: A shooting at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon, left 10 people dead and seven wounded. Shooter Christopher Harper-Mercer, 26, exchanged gunfire with police, then killed himself.

- June 17, 2015: Dylann Roof, 21, shot and killed nine African-American church members during a Bible study group inside the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina. Police contend the attack was racially motivated. Roof has been sentenced to death in the shootings.

- May 23, 2014: A community college student, Elliot Rodger, 22, killed six people and wounded 13 in shooting and stabbing attacks in the area near the University of California, Santa Barbara, campus. Authorities said he apparently shot himself to death after a gunbattle with deputies.

- Sept. 16, 2013: Aaron Alexis, a mentally disturbed civilian contractor, shot 12 people to death at the Washington Navy Yard before he was killed in a police shootout.

- Sept. 27, 2012: In Minnesota's deadliest workplace rampage, Andrew Engeldinger, who had just been fired, pulled a gun and fatally shot six people, including the company's founder. He also wounded two others at Accent Signage Systems in Minneapolis before taking his own life.

- Aug. 5, 2012: In Oak Creek, Wisconsin, 40-year-old gunman Wade Michael Page killed six worshippers at a Sikh Temple before killing himself.

- July 20, 2012: James Holmes, 27, fatally shot 12 people and injured 70 in an Aurora, Colorado, movie theater. He was sentenced to life in prison without parole.

- April 2, 2012: Seven people were killed and three were wounded when a 43-year-old former student opened fire at Oikos University in Oakland, California.

Elon Musk is aiming to land spaceships on Mars in 2022. SpaceX plans to start building the first spaceship by the middle of next year. They want to get to Mars to place power, mining and life support system for future flights. The spaceship is called the BFR, and will take off hopefully in 2022.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Elon Musk just unveiled more of his grand plan for colonizing Mars.

The hard-charging tech mogul said his rocket company, SpaceX, aims to land at least two cargo ships on the Red Planet in 2022 in order to place power, mining and life support systems there for future flights.

That's just five years from now.

"That's not a typo -- although it is aspirational," Musk said Friday during a presentation at the International Astronautical Congress in Australia. Ships carrying crews would arrive in 2024, he added.

Related: SpaceX to fly two space tourists around the moon in 2018

To hit those deadlines, SpaceX plans to start building the first spaceship by the middle of next year, he said. The billionaire entrepreneur does have a track record of setting ambitious time frames for SpaceX, and failing to meet them.

Musk revealed more details on the spacecraft -- the BFR, or Big Falcon Rocket, which inside the company is nicknamed the "Big F--king Rocket." If he has his way, the people who colonize Mars will eventually travel in style in the BFR, which will accommodate around 100 people spread out over 40 cabins, and include large common areas and an entertainment system.

SpaceX has figured out a way to pay for the costly missions, according to Musk, but he shied away from giving specific numbers.

The company thinks it can make enough money from its current business of launching satellites and servicing the International Space Station to finance its Mars ambitions. Musk's goal is to make the BFR reusable, which would significantly bring down the cost of launches.

Scott Hubbard, the former director of NASA's Ames Research Center and a director of the Planetary Society, said there's merit to that business plan.

If SpaceX can indeed make BFR "fully reusable," he said, "the cost barrier to human Mars exploration could be significantly reduced."

Hubbard added that he'd like to see more information about how SpaceX's spaceship will support 100 human lives for the long journey to Mars -- which could last six to nine months. (Musk says it can be done three.) "The devil is in the details," he said.

Musk's vision for BFR also goes beyond Mars exploration. He says the rockets could allow SpaceX to eventually establish a lunar base, which he dubbed "Moon Base Alpha."

"It's 2017, we should have a lunar base by now," he said. "What the hell's going on?"

Moon Base Alpha

A post shared by Elon Musk (@elonmusk) on

Musk suggested the BFR could eventually also be used to clean up space by gobbling up old satellites and other junk orbiting the earth.

And it may come in handy closer to home. Musk said the rockets could fly people from city to city on Earth in incredibly short time spans, such as from New York to Shanghai in 39 minutes.

SpaceX isn't the only company with an eye on Mars, though.

Just hours before Musk took the stage in Australian city of Adelaide on Friday, Lockheed Martin touted its plans for a "Mars Base Camp" -- a mobile space habitat that it's developing for NASA. The system would work in tandem with Orion, the spacecraft NASA is developing for crewed missions to deep space.

Lockheed said the structure could be assembled at NASA's Deep Space Gateway -- a structure the agency is developing that would live in space between Earth and the Moon.

The company says it hopes to build and send the structure to the Mars in about 10 years.

Unlike SpaceX's plan, NASA and Lockheed aren't looking to colonize Mars. Their project is focused on executing experimental missions in which highly trained astronauts would visit the planet and ultimately return to Earth.

Aerospace giant Boeing has also said it wants the first person to set foot on Mars to get there on one of its rockets.

A 29-year-old bank teller stole more than $185,000 from a homeless customer who tried to deposit a garbage bag full of cash at a Wells Fargo branch in the upscale Georgetown neighborhood, according to court filings and attorneys in the case.

Phelon Davis, of District Heights, Md., pleaded guilty in a deal with prosecutors Thursday to one federal felony count of interstate transportation of stolen property, punishable by up to 10 years in prison.

The victim was unnamed in court filings but was described as a homeless street vendor and longtime Wells Fargo customer who had more than one account that had gone dormant because of a lack of activity.

Court filings did not identify the customer or say how a homeless person would have a large amount of cash in a bag when he showed up at the M Street NW branch where Davis worked. Outside the courtroom, Davis's attorney, Bruce Allen Johnson, Jr., said he also did not know how the individual came to have the cache of cash. "That's the million-dollar question," Johnson said.

In plea papers, Davis acknowledged that the customer had "thousands of dollars of cash" that he wanted to deposit in October 2014 but lacked identification. Davis told the customer where to get ID documents and a Social Security card, and also noted the customer "had a surprisingly large balance with the bank," according to a signed, three-page statement of the crime.

On two consecutive days that October, Davis fraudulently opened a new account by forging the customer's signature, set up an ATM card, PIN, email address and online logon that Davis controlled, and funded the account with $3,000 from one of the customer's other accounts, according to the court filing.

Over the next two years, the filing disclosed, Davis transferred $177,400 between the customer's accounts, withdrew $185,440, and transported at least $5,000 from automated teller machines in the District across state lines to his home in Maryland, the basis of the federal charge.

The customer did not receive mailed statements, use email or have access to a computer and so remained oblivious. The customer could see a balance of only one of the checking accounts at an ATM, Davis and prosecutors agreed.

Davis used the stolen money for the down payment on his home, to pay off personal debt, and to fund vacations in Aruba, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic and Mexico.

Court documents did not say how Davis was caught. He was charged July 19.

As part of his plea, Davis agreed to pay back the stolen money, and Assistant U.S. attorney Kondi J. Kleinman said he would likely face a sentence of 18-to-30 months under federal guidelines. U.S. District Judge Emmett G. Sullivan of the District would be free to go higher or lower.

"Did you, in fact, take money from an account as Mr. Kleinman described?" U.S. Magistrate Robin M. Meriweather asked in the Thursday plea hearing.

"Yes, ma'am, I did," said the soft-spoken Davis.

Davis's attorney, Johnson, said outside of court that "he greatly regrets the decisions he made, and is dedicated to doing everything he can to make it right, including restitution. He is putting everything aside to repay the money and do what he can to repair what he's done to his name, his reputation and to the victim."

A sentencing date has not been set.

The suspected gunman behind the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history was a 64-year-old Nevada resident who stocked his hotel room with weapons before unleashing the carnage outside the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, police said.

Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo said Stephen Paddock, from Mesquite, was confronted and killed on the 32nd floor of the facility, across the street from the Route 91 Harvest Festival concert.

Paddock is believed to have checked in as a hotel guest before the attack, which left at least 50 people dead and more than 200 injured, The Associated Press reported.

"We've located numerous firearms within the room that he occupied," Lombardo told the media.

"We have no idea what his belief system was," he added. "Right now, we believe he was the sole aggressor and the scene is static."

Authorities also said they were "confident" Paddock's roommate, Marilou Danley, had been located. Officials previously described Danley as a person of interest.
