monday night three people, including a police officer and doctor, died when a gunman involved in a domestic violence incident went on a rampage at a hospital on Chicago's South Side.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A gunman who shot and killed three people, including a police officer, at a hospital on the South Side of Chicago, had recently broken up with one of the victims, a doctor who he confronted to demand she give him back the engagement ring he bought her, police said Tuesday.

The suspected gunman, who died in the rampage, was identified as 32-year-old Juan Lopez, who had been kicked out of the Chicago Fire Academy in 2014 for harassing an individual, Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said at a news conference.

On Monday, violence erupted about 3:30 p.m. in the parking lot of Mercy Hospital and Medical Center in the city's Bronzeville District and continued inside the hospital with police trading shots with Lopez, Johnson said.

He said Lopez had been in a romantic relationship with Dr. Tamara O'Neal, an emergency room physician at the hospital, who had recently broken off their engagement.

Lopez went to the hospital and allegedly confronted O'Neal in the parking lot, demanding she give back the engagement ring he gave her, Johnson said.

A friend who was with O'Neal at the time tried to intervene in the argument when Lopez pulled up his shirt and showed O'Neal's friend that he had a gun, officials said.

O'Neal called 911 to report Lopez and told a dispatcher that he was armed, Johnson said.

As police officers arrived at the hospital, Lopez shot and killed O'Neal in the parking lot and ran into the hospital, Johnson said.

When he entered the lobby, two women, including Dayna Less, 25, a pharmacy resident in training, were getting off an elevator and Lopez allegedly opened fire on them for no apparent reason, Johnson said.

Less was shot and killed in the encounter, Johnson said.

Lopez then ran back out of the hospital and fired at officers in a squad car who were trying to shield O'Neal's body with their vehicle.

"He fired at those units and ran back into the hospital," Johnson said of Lopez.

He said Officer Samuel Jimenez chased Lopez into the facility and down a hallway, where a gun battle broke out.

"What we do know is that Lopez was struck twice," Johnson said. "So, it's only fair to assume that one of our bullets struck him."

An autopsy conducted by the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office showed that while Lopez was shot in the abdomen, he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

He said Lopez was armed with a 9mm handgun and had a permit to carry a concealed weapon. Lopez had purchased four guns over the past five years, Johnson said.

"This tears at the soul of our city," Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said at a news conference Monday night. "It's the face and consequence of evil."

O'Neal's family said she broke up with Lopez in September.

"She saw something in the relationship that did not line up with the way she wanted to live the rest of her life," said O'Neal's father, Thomas O'Neal, told ABC Chicago station WLS-TV.

O'Neal was a 38-year old emergency room doctor, who at been a resident at Mercy hospital before joining the staff in 2016, officials said. Less graduated from Purdue University in May and became a pharmacy resident at the hospital in July, officials said.

Jimenez, 28, a married father of three young children, had been a member of the Chicago Police Department less than two years, Johnson said.

"The City of Chicago lost a doctor, pharmaceutical assistant and a police officer, all going about their day, all doing what they love," Emanuel said.

The emergency room at Mercy hospital was closed most of the day Tuesday but reopened in the afternoon.

"A hospital should be a safe place," Dr. Patrick Connor, the emergency department director at Mercy, said during the Monday night news conference. "Every shooting in America is a tragedy -- it is a national tragedy. And it is especially senseless when a shooting occurs in a healing space of a hospital."

The hospital had its first active-shooter drill three or four weeks ago, said Michael Davenport, the chief medical officer.

"We never thought we would have to experience what we had," Davenport said. "Everyone did what they were trained to do."

About 200 patients were being cared for at the time of the shooting, he added. Everyone from the emergency room was relocated.

"When you look at what the officers did in responding, while what happened was horrific, they did save and potentially prevent a lot worse loss of life," Emanuel said Tuesday.

Johnson echoed Emanuel's assessment in a post on Twitter. Jimenez "saved a lot of lives," Johnson wrote on Twitter, adding that the suspect "was just shooting" and they "just don't know how much damage he was prepared to do."

Jimenez's police colleagues were mourning his death. Officers stood at attention and saluted Monday night as his body was removed from the hospital and taken to the medical examiner's office.

"Today, the Fraternal Order of Police lost a valued brother -- a courageous police officer who got up this morning, went to work and wanted to protect the city of Chicago," said Kevin Graham, president of Chicago chapter of the police union. "He did that today, and he did so with his life."

Less than 24 hours after Jimenez was shot to death, another Chicago police officer was shot in an unrelated gun battle with a suspect who opened fire on him and his partner, Johnson said. Police returned fire and shot and wounded the suspect in the neck.

Emanuel said one of the officers involved in Tuesday's shooting was hit in the back of his bulletproof vest and was being treated for bruising left by a bullet.

"These are young men in this situation doing heroic work to protect us and other residents," Emanuel said at Tuesday news conference. "Here are two officers less than 24 hours [after Jimenez was shot] doing their job, stopping somebody that in the end did have a gun."

A Tennessee man has been arrested in Alabama for allegedly raping his 16-month-old son, while the boy's mother has been charged with child abuse and neglect.

On Sunday, police arrested Simon Dean Porter, the child's biological father, in Scottsboro, Alabama, for allegedly raping Danielle Bowen's son. Tennessee officials added Porter to the state's Top 10 Most Wanted List and Scottsboro police said they received a call about seeing Porter walking on Highway 79.

"Porter did knowingly, intentionally and unlawfully penetrate his 16-month-old son. This unlawful penetration caused severe and possibly permanent damage to... the child," the arrest affidavit obtained by WTVF reported.

Bowen, 22, was subsequently charged Monday after she failed to seek medical treatment for her child when he was raped on Nov. 11, police said. Bowen's bond was set at $100,000 and she's expected to appear in court on Dec. 6.

A large explosion targeting a religious gathering in Afghanistan's capital has killed 43 people and injured 83 others.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
KABUL, Afghanistan -- A large explosion targeting a religious gathering in Afghanistan's capital has killed at least 50 people and injured at least 72 others, the country's health ministry said.

The people had gathered on Tuesday at a wedding hall to celebrate the Prophet Muhammad's birthday, authorities said, and preliminary information shows the explosion may have been a suicide attack.

Religious clerics had invited members of the public to the event, and the number of people injured or killed in the blast could still rise, authorities added.

"The victims of the attack, unfortunately, are all religious scholars who gathered to commemorate the birthday of Prophet Muhammad," said Basir Mujahid, spokesman for the Kabul police chief, according to the Associated Press.

Police security had not been requested for the event, and the bomber entered the hall easily, Mujahid said, according to the AP.

There has been no claim of responsibility for the attack. The Taliban denied involvement.

Afghanistan's President Ashraf Ghani announced that a national day of mourning would take place Wednesday.

Adrian Beltre Announces Retirement from MLB After 21 Year Career

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Rick Scuteri/Associated Press
Third baseman Adrian Beltre is calling it a career after 21 memorable seasons in Major League Baseball.

The Texas Rangers tweeted the following statement from Beltre:

#ThankYouAB @Rangers
#ThankYouAB https://t.co/wZO9K18yVJ

Beltre entered the league in 1998 and played for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Seattle Mariners, Boston Red Sox and Rangers.

The 39-year-old finished his career with impressive numbers across the board, with slash totals of .286/.339/.480 to go along with 477 home runs and 1,707 RBI. The likely Hall of Famer amassed four All-Star appearances, five Gold Gloves and four Silver Slugger awards.

He could win a game with his bat or save one with his glove.

Beltre tallied five seasons with more than 100 RBI and 12 seasons with 20 or more home runs, including his dominant 2004 campaign when he was a member of the Dodgers and slashed .334/.388/.629 with 48 long balls and 121 RBI. He finished second in the National League MVP voting behind Barry Bonds.

While he ultimately elected to walk away, he wasn't sure if he was going to play in 2019 as the 2018 season drew to an end.

"Yeah, it could be my last," Beltre said before the Rangers' final homestand of 2018, per of the Dallas Morning News. "But I'm trying not to think about it. I don't know what to think about it. Nothing is 100 percent."

Last season, Beltre was limited to 119 games because of injury, but he still hit .273 with 15 homers and 65 RBI.

His retirement comes after he was able to bolster his resume with milestone accomplishments.

His 3,000th career hit came during the 2017 season against the Baltimore Orioles, and he drilled the 475th home run of his career in 2018. The 475th long ball tied Stan Musial and Willie Stargell for 30th on the all-time list.

"Anytime you mention those guys' names, you have accomplished something," Beltre said, per of T.R. Sullivan MLB.com. "I am proud of what I have done. It is nice to be able accomplish something that for me, down the road, will be a little more special."

Beltre was more than just a statistics machine and was known for an endearing personality. Teammates-notably Elvis Andrus-often joked by touching his head to garner a reaction, and he frequently engaged in amusing interactions with opponents and even umpires.

Just for good measure, Beltre was MLB's Personality of the Year in 2017.

The one thing missing from his resume is a World Series ring, although he reached the playoffs five times and helped lead the Rangers to the 2011 Fall Classic. While his team lost to the St. Louis Cardinals, Beltre connected on five home runs in 17 playoff games that year.

He now turns his attention to retirement and a potential reservation in Cooperstown down the line after a tremendous major league career. Meanwhile, the Rangers have in-house options to attempt to replace Beltre in 2019, including Jurickson Profar and Isiah Kiner-Falefa.

A dolphin was found shot dead at a beach in California. The animal rescue group is very upset and worried that this might be happening to other wildlife too.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
An animal rescue group is outraged after its president said he recovered a dolphin shot to death at a beach in Southern California.

Peter Wallerstein, president of Marine Animal Rescue based out of El Segundo, California, told ABC News he spotted the freshly-killed dolphin in the surf on Manhattan Beach on Nov. 8.

Wallerstein said he pulled the animal -- known as a common dolphin -- out of the water. When he saw the hole in its side, he brought the animal to an animal rehab center where the bullet was removed.

Usually officials with the Los Angeles Natural History Museum will pick up a dead animal for a necropsy, according to Wallerstein. But since this seemed to be case in which the dolphin was purposefully killed, he wanted it to be analyzed immediately.

Marine Animal Rescue/Facebook

Wallerstein called the incident "barbaric" and a "senseless act of aggression." He noted that he's seen sea lions who have been shot over the years, but this is the first dolphin killing he has come across.

It's possible other dolphins in the area have been shot, but if they float further out to sea instead of towards shore, they wouldn't be noticed.

"We don't know if it's the only one," said Wallerstein. "There could be others being shot out there, too."

Marine Animal Rescue, which saves hundreds of marine animals every year in Los Angeles County, is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the conviction of the dolphin's shooter.

"We're gonna pursue it until we get the killer," Wallerstein said.

Killing a wild dolphin -- as well as harassing, hurting or feeding one -- is illegal under the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, according to NOAA Fisheries. The offender could face up to one year in jail and up to a $100,000 fine.

Earlier this year, a dolphin was shot and killed off the coast of Mississippi. The NOAA wrote on its website that "the number of violent incidents towards dolphins in the Northern Gulf have increased in recent years."

An NOAA spokesperson told ABC News the agency was aware of the reports that a dolphin had been shot in Manhattan Beach, but they would not comment on any potential or ongoing investigation.

Final Score: Chiefs-51 Rams-54.
It was the first time in NFL history where both teams scored over 50 points. Before the game they lighted a torch for the killing that happened in LA early in November and there was a lot of info during the game about the California Wildfires.

What we saw Monday night during that intense, ridiculous, scoreboard-spinning, all-time classic, Hollywood production of a touchdown-spasm football game that had us all glued to our seats wasn't just maybe the best regular-season NFL game ever.

It was a glimpse at the future.

It was entertaining and jaw-dropping. It was skilled and gorgeous. It was a brawl. It was a high-wire production. It was physical but also wide-open. It was literally everything.

Rams 54, Chiefs 51...butterflies 1 billion.

And at the center of it were two quarterbacks who are likely to define the league for years to come, the Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes and the Rams' Jared Goff.

The numbers are staggering. Mahomes was 33-of-46 for 478 yards, six touchdowns and three interceptions. Goff was 31-of-49 for 413 yards, four touchdowns and zero interceptions. Receiver Tyreek Hill had 215 receiving yards and two scores.

ESPN Stats & Info noted this was the first game in NFL history in which each team scored at least 50 points. The 105 combined points are the third-most in any game in NFL history. Mahomes' six touchdown passes were the most in Monday Night Football history.

This was a video game wrapped in a dream sealed inside Madden.
Marcio Jose Sanchez/Associated Press/Associated Press
"Unbelievable," Goff told ESPN after the game. "Four quarters of craziness."

And leading the way were Goff and Mahomes. They made mistakes, sure. Mahomes was strip-sacked twice and Goff made some errant throws, but they were so good, and so explosive, it's hard not to see that what they did Monday is what quarterbacking in the NFL will look like in the future.

They also represent, for better or worse, what elite quarterbacking is now, especially when you have the athleticism, accuracy and mental acumen both players represent.

Not only did Goff and Mahomes demonstrate an evolution in how their position will be played, but so, too, did the style of play Monday night represent what the game will look like. Defenses will make a stop or two (when you have Aaron Donald, maybe three or four or five or six), but offense, lots and lots of offense, is the 21st century NFL.

Wide-open schemes, quick playmakers like Hill, creative and aggressive play-calling from two innovators in Andy Reid and Sean McVay, rule changes that make it tougher for defenses to be consistently threatening, all commanded by skilled point guards like Goff and Mahomes.

Back and forth, forth and back-there were six lead changes and four in the fourth quarter alone. Track meets and warp speed. That is football, and we can all expect to see Mahomes and Goff do this over and over.

NFL @NFL
The @Cheetah is left WIDE OPEN and @PatrickMahomes5 launches it for the 73-yard TD! #ChiefsKingdom 📺: #KCvsLAR on ESPN https://t.co/CAVnnNwa3K

Well, not like this. But you understand.

Monday's game will be talked about for years, maybe decades, and at the core will be how Goff and Mahomes kept fighting and scoring. So many times Goff hit deep passes in stride-same with Mahomes. So many times they hit the perfect throw. Play after play, series after series.

Just when you thought Goff was done, he'd come back. Just when you thought Mahomes was done, he'd come back.

Some will hate this new NFL. They will sit on their lawns and talk about the good ol' days, in the 2000s, when teams only combined to score 40 a game.

They will hate this mostly defenseless new league. They will hate that quarterbacks are tossing touchdowns with ease.

But they will have to accept it. This is the future. Wide-open play. Bold strategies. Offensive slugfests. Points...lots of points.

The future started Monday night. Just ask Patrick Mahomes and Jared Goff.

A mother was giving brown bags paper lunch bags with hand written notes that were passive aggressive

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A funny mom in California is cashing in on her brutally honest humor by selling brown paper lunch bags with handwritten "passive-aggressive" parenting notes, after her teenage daughter reported that the silly totes were a hit with her high school classmates.

Whitney Cicero, who runs the blog The New Stepford, told Today that she began creating the so-called "passive aggressive lunch bags" for her 14-year-old daughter and 12-year-old son in order to share her most brazen inner thoughts on the daily business of parenting.
PARENTS HAVE 32 MINUTES OF ME-TIME EVERY DAY, SAYS DEPRESSING STUDY
"Just pretend it's Chipotle," one bag reads.

"Fortnite is not a career choice," another reminds.

Other messages include often-said parenting phrases like "Clean up your room," "I can't wait for you to drive either" and "Get off your phone."

Cicero told Today she was inspired to share images of the lunch bags on social media after her daughter's classmates began asking to see them on a daily basis. In recent days, the funny mom has started selling the bags to her combined Facebook and Instagram audience of nearly 105,000 users.

"It's imperative to have humor with your kids," Cicero told the outlet of her hot new product. "We joke about everything - sex, drugs, politics, their bodies - I don't want them to think anything is taboo."

"Humor is a great segue into having meaningful conversations and it helps break the tension of things that can be kind of awkward," she added. "And, if we don't have a sense of humor about parenting, we will literally lose our minds."

As playful as the lunch bags may be, Cicero's larger message has evidently struck a chord with Instagram users.

"Love your sense of humor," one fan wrote of the bags.

"Your daughter was right, these are hilarious," another agreed.

"I'm so buying these next paycheck!" another said.

Cicero is selling 10-bag packs featuring the snarky handwritten messages for $9.99 plus shipping on her website.

A 6 year old girl strangled her baby brother with a seat belt because he couldn't stop crying while her dad was shopping. 26-year-old father told investigators that he parked outside the thrift store, left the air conditioner on, gave the children water and a snack and played a movie while he went into the store to shop for clothes. He was gone for 1 1/2 hours and came back to the little girl crying.

Police have charged a Houston man with child abandonment after concluding that his 6-year-old daughter strangled her 1-year-old brother with a seatbelt in the family car parked outside a thrift store while their father shopped.

Adrian Dreshuan Middleton was charged Friday in the May 20 incident on the eastern edge of Houston. A criminal complaint says the 26-year-old father told investigators that he parked outside the thrift store, left the air conditioner on, gave the children water and a snack and played a movie while he went into the store to shop for clothes.

Surveillance video showed Middleton was in the store for almost 1½ hours before returning and noticing his daughter crying in the back seat. The child told investigators that she was playing with her brother and got angry when he wouldn't stop crying. She said she wrapped the seatbelt around her brother and thought he had fallen asleep.

No arrest has been made. Jail records list no attorney for him.

Two Arkansas football players were suspended Monday after they were spotted taking pictures with Mississippi State cheerleaders before their blowout loss over the weekend.

Defensive backs Kamren Curl and Ryan Pulley, two key members of the Razorbacks’ defense, were spotted with the Bulldogs’ cheerleaders by Razorbacks alumna and KARK-Channel 4 broadcaster D.J. Williams, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported.

Arkansas coach Chad Morris called the incident “completely unacceptable” after the team lost 52-6.

Arkansas linebacker Dre Greenlaw said he didn’t see anyone fraternizing with the opposing team’s cheerleaders, but added that it wasn’t “something I would do.”

“Some people have got different focuses. Obviously, you could see this game we weren't in the right mindset," he told the Democrat-Gazette. “I just hope everybody considers the seniors for this last game and goes out there and plays with their all, and gives it their all.”

Curl, a sophomore, and Pulley, a junior, played all 11 games this season. They will miss the final game against Missouri this weekend.

The girlfriend says she ‘had no part’ in a Go Fund Me scam to support a Philly homeless man

PHILADELPHIA - Kate McClure, accused of creating a fake GoFundMe account to help a homeless man that went viral and amassed more than $400,000, secretly recorded a phone conversation with her boyfriend and insisted he was the one who concocted the scam.

"You started the whole ... thing. You did everything," Ms. McClure told Mark D'Amico in a taped conversation her lawyer played Monday on "Good Morning America." On the tape, played during in a segment about the bogus campaign to aid Johnny Bobbitt, Ms. McClure was heard saying, "I had no part in any of this, and I'm the one ... taking the fall."

Ms. McClure and Mr. D'Amico, along with Mr. Bobbitt, were charged last week with theft and conspiracy after the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office announced that the GoFundMe campaign they started in November 2017 was based on a lie. Prosecutors say the three conspired to tug at the heartstrings of the public and duped more than 14,000 donors worldwide.

The three made up a story that Ms. McClure ran out of gas on I-95 as she was on her way into Philadelphia, and Mr. Bobbitt came to her rescue using his last $20 to get her on her way, prosecutors said. Ms. McClure and Mr. D'Amico set up a GoFundMe campaign that they said was designed to repay Mr. Bobbitt's kindness. They told donors they wanted to buy him a home and raise money to insure his financial stability.

Ms. McClure, Mr. D'Amico and Mr. Bobbitt made national television appearances and told their feel-good story. The response overwhelming, and they quickly raised hundreds of thousands of dollars.

By March, the money was gone - spent, prosecutors say, on vacations, gambling and designer handbags. All along, Mr. Bobbitt was in on the deal, authorities said, spending tens of thousands of dollars, some of it on drugs. But the couple's relationship with Mr. Bobbitt soon soured and by the summer he was back on the street panhandling for money and drugs.

In anger at being denied what he considered his fair share of the money, Mr. Bobbitt sued, alleging he was scammed. Prosecutors launched an investigation that led to the criminal charges. The three now face the prospect of five to 10 years in jail if convicted.

Ms. McClure and Mr. D'Amico were briefly in custody, then released to await a Dec. 24 court hearing. Mr. Bobbitt is in Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility in Philadelphia, awaiting extradition to New Jersey.

GoFundMe, meanwhile, has said it will refund all of the money donors contributed.

Ms. McClure and Mr. D'Amico, who lived together in Florence Township, Burlington County, have since split up.

Monday's television appearance signals Ms. McClure's intention to mount a vigorous defense. Her lawyer, James Gerrow, has said Mr. D'Amico was the mastermind of the scheme and Ms. McClure, his unwitting accomplice. The tape played on "Good Morning America" appeared to support that.

Prosecutors, however, say they have a trove of text messages that make clear Ms. McClure conspired with Mr. D'Amico and Mr. Bobbitt to devise the false narrative and steal from unsuspecting donors.

In one text message, made public last week, Ms. McClure admitted to her best friend that at least part of the story the trio told the public was untrue. "Okay so wait the gas part is completely made up," she wrote in the message, included in an affidavit of probable cause for her arrest. "I had to make something up to make people feel bad. ... So, shush about the made up part."

Text messages obtained by prosecutors show that Ms. McClure's friend - and even Ms. McClure's mother - told her that the scheme could get her in trouble.

"My mom just called me and said that people go to jail for scamming others out of money," Ms. McClure said in a text to her friend on Nov. 14, 2017.

"This gas story is gonna backfire," the friend wrote in a text to Ms. McClure the following day.

"Nah, it's all good," Ms. McClure replied.

Months later, in March, the friend again warned Ms. McClure that she could be in legal jeopardy and suggested that she donate the balance of the stolen funds.

"I'll be keeping the rest of the money, [expletive] you very much," Ms. McClure replied.

Presciently, the friend said: "He could out you."

this guy pulled a dolphin out of the ocean and found out that the dolphin was shot

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
An animal rescue group is outraged after its president said he recovered a dolphin shot to death at a beach in Southern California.

Peter Wallerstein, president of Marine Animal Rescue based out of El Segundo, California, told ABC News he spotted the freshly-killed dolphin in the surf on Manhattan Beach on Nov. 8.

Wallerstein said he pulled the animal -- known as a common dolphin -- out of the water. When he saw the hole in its side, he brought the animal to an animal rehab center where the bullet was removed.

Usually officials with the Los Angeles Natural History Museum will pick up a dead animal for a necropsy, according to Wallerstein. But since this seemed to be case in which the dolphin was purposefully killed, he wanted it to be analyzed immediately.

Wallerstein called the incident "barbaric" and a "senseless act of aggression." He noted that he's seen sea lions who have been shot over the years, but this is the first dolphin killing he has come across.

It's possible other dolphins in the area have been shot, but if they float further out to sea instead of towards shore, they wouldn't be noticed.

"We don't know if it's the only one," said Wallerstein. "There could be others being shot out there, too."

Marine Animal Rescue, which saves hundreds of marine animals every year in Los Angeles County, is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the conviction of the dolphin's shooter.

"We're gonna pursue it until we get the killer," Wallerstein said.

Killing a wild dolphin -- as well as harassing, hurting or feeding one -- is illegal under the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, according to NOAA Fisheries. The offender could face up to one year in jail and up to a $100,000 fine.

Earlier this year, a dolphin was shot and killed off the coast of Mississippi. The NOAA wrote on its website that "the number of violent incidents towards dolphins in the Northern Gulf have increased in recent years."

An NOAA spokesperson told ABC News the agency was aware of the reports that a dolphin had been shot in Manhattan Beach, but they would not comment on any potential or ongoing investigation.

A Tennessee man has been arrested in Alabama for allegedly raping his 16-month-old son, while the boy's mother has been charged with child abuse and neglect.

On Sunday, police arrested Simon Dean Porter, the child's biological father, in Scottsboro, Alabama, for allegedly raping Danielle Bowen's son. Tennessee officials added Porter to the state's Top 10 Most Wanted List and Scottsboro police said they received a call about seeing Porter walking on Highway 79.

"Porter did knowingly, intentionally and unlawfully penetrate his 16-month-old son. This unlawful penetration caused severe and possibly permanent damage to... the child," the arrest affidavit obtained by WTVF reported.
