LILBURN, Ga. (CBS46)

Extra security officers will patrol the halls of a Gwinnett County middle school Tuesday after a student allegedly stabbed a teacher.

A 13-year-old boy is accused of attacking a female teacher at about 2:30 p.m. Monday in a language arts classroom at Trickum Middle School in Lilburn.

According to school officials, the boy called the teacher over and then "struck her in the chest area with an 8-inch butcher knife that he had in his bookbag."

While a student resource officer raced to the classroom, the student grabbed a classmate, according to school officials. The officer managed to disarm the knife-wielding student before anyone else was hurt.

The teacher was conscious and talking to medics after the attack.

CBS46 News asked school officials whether the school will consider installing metal detectors at the building's entrance.

"We will be looking at the situation. The bottom line is this is something that has never happened at this school before," said Gwinnett County Schools Director of Communications Sloan Roach. "This is something they're looking at and the school system is looking at as well."

The student faces charges of aggravated assault and possession of a weapon on campus, along with discipline from the school system.

Gwinnett County Schools declined to provide the name and condition of the wounded teacher.

Officials with the school sent the following statement to parents:
Dear Trickum Middle School Parents and Guardians, I need to share with you a serious incident that occurred at school this afternoon. A student has been taken into custody after stabbing one of our teachers during a class. This occurred in an 8th grade language arts classroom. The student was immediately apprehended and all other students are safe. The teacher has been transported to an area hospital, but was conscious and talking to first responders. Again, all students and teachers are safe. We anticipate dismissing as usual. I will communicate more as additional information becomes available.
None of the students in the class were hurt. The principal says the school will make personal calls to the families of the students who were inside the classroom during the incident.

Odell Beckham Jr. finished Monday's contest against the Atlanta Falcons at Mercedes-Benz Stadium with eight catches for 143 yards and a last-second touchdown. The performance wasn't good enough. Despite all of his talent and his becoming the fastest player ever to reach 5,000 receiving yards, he's not good enough to solve the Giants' offensive problems. As a result, New York is merely wasting his talent.

Beckham couldn't have looked unhappier as the game clock wound down and the New York Giants lost 23-20. The wide receiver operates under a microscope unlike any other for a non-quarterback, and his attitude is constantly questioned.

"I wish he would create the headlines by his play on the field as opposed to what he says and does off the field," Giants co-owner John Mara told reporters last week at the NFL's Fall League Meeting. "I think he needs to do a little more playing and a little less talking."

Well, Beckham came out and balled six days later. Didn't matter. The Giants don't have the surrounding cast for the receiver to make a difference.
Jason E. Miczek/Associated Press
The Giants continually fail to maximize the wide receiver's full potential, because quarterback Eli Manning isn't hitting on each of the available opportunities, specifically in the red zone. Furthermore, the entire offense isn't constructed in a manner to truly feature Beckham's dominant skill set.

Sure, some of the blame will fall on the coaching staff after a couple of questionable decisions, especially a blown two-point conversion and Manning's failed quarterback sneaks.

Some may want to ignore the main problems, poor quarterback play and an awful offensive line, and blame head coach Pat Shurmur for the loss. But really, what did the coach call that was so bad? The failed conversion attempt didn't affect the outcome, and a 6'5" quarterback should be able to punch the ball into the end zone near the goal line.

"You increase your chances by 50 percent if you go for it and make it there," Shurmur said after the game when reporters asked why the Giants went for two, per Yahoo Sports' Frank Schwab. "Then if we score a touchdown, we just kick the extra point and win."

Instead, everything leading up to the last-minute rally is what everyone should concentrate on, because continued mistakes and missed opportunities are exactly why the Giants are 1-6 without much hope for the immediate future.

Here's the funny part: Manning played arguably his best game of the season by completing 71.1 percent of his passes for 399 passing yard. Box-score scouting isn't good enough, though.

Manning can no longer drive the ball down the field like he once did, he's unwilling to pull the trigger on some throws and his lack of mobility under pressure is killing any rhythm the offense is trying to establish.

Each of these issues reared its ugly head during the contest. The second point is the most crucial.

Yes, Manning targeted Beckham numerous times late in the contest, but the effort came after he made a few egregious non-throws, and both the receiver and the head coach grew frustrated with their quarterback's decision-making process.

Once upon a time, Manning was counted among the league's best when it came to instant understanding of a defense. Granted, he's never been his brother yet still good enough to lead a pair of Super Bowl-winning squads. The moment was never too big for the laid-back New Orleans native.

The same demeanor no longer matters when a signal-caller shows signs of diminishing skills and can't make the plays he once did.

He missed Beckham twice early in the game for easy touchdowns. Twice. The first is somewhat more excusable than the second:

Yahoo Sports NFL @YahooSportsNFL
Eli Manning missed a WIDE OPEN Odell Beckham Jr. in the end zone 😢 #NYGvsATL | #GiantsPride https://t.co/c5fwEAQRFQ

The 15-year veteran obviously spotted zone coverage in the end zone and threw to a certain spot. Beckham may have even slipped slightly coming off his break. Either way, the Giants could have scored a touchdown much earlier in the contest without having to mount a late comeback that fell short. For whatever reason, it didn't happen.

The second miss is inexcusable.

Beckham worked his way across the formation and ran a route to the flat-which should have turned into an easy score, as CBS Sports' Brandon Tierney noted. Nope.

Brandon Tierney @BrandonTierney
If you can't see this, you really shouldn't be playing. I'm sorry, but in the NFL, this is WIDE open with a FAVORABLE matchup. https://t.co/klQzpL3KL8

At least Manning attempted passes in these instances. It's those where he isn't willing to throw into tight windows that really show his limitations.

Yes, three of the receivers were covered. Two of them still had leverage on their defenders. Manning may have been pressured, but the fourth is standing in the middle of the end zone completely uncovered, per The Athletic's Ben Baldwin:

Ben Baldwin @benbbaldwin
"THEY HAVE NOWHERE TO GO WITH THE FOOTBALL please play no mind to the uncovered receiver we didn't circle" https://t.co/fs9bfcFeOn

Frustration bubbled over, and not just from Beckham. Clearly, Shurmur wants Manning to use his best available weapon, especially in crucial instances, via NBC Sports Philadelphia's John Clark:

John Clark @JClarkNBCS
Pat Shurmur "What? Throw to Odell" @MattLombardoNFL @BruceBeck4NY @JordanRaanan https://t.co/QhSYXUONXe

Beckham and Shurmur had to share a moment afterward:

Ian Kenyon @IanKenyonNFL
"I know. I know. It'll be alright" https://t.co/fwR4rZBXZq

When will it be alright, though? Nothing portends a radical turnaround with a milksop expected to perform at quarterback.

Manning deservedly gets most of the blame, but he isn't playing behind a sturdy offensive front.

The Giants made Nate Solder the NFL's highest-paid offensive lineman this offseason. He surrendered two sacks against the Falcons' edge-rushers. Defensive tackle Grady Jarrett blew right past rookie left guard Will Hernandez for another. The team had to reshuffle the rest of its interior with its third starting center, Spencer Pulley, and veteran John Greco moving from the pivot to right guard. Chad Wheeler may not be Ereck Flowers-which is a good thing -but he's also not a starting-caliber right tackle.

As a result of the porous blocking, the Falcons registered four sacks and hit Manning nine more times. The statuesque pocket-passer doesn't have the mobility to evade pressure, let alone expand the playbook by moving the pocket. Instead, Shurmur tries to employ 11 personnel as much as possible, block pressure packages with five linemen and the quarterback gets killed. According to SNY's Ralph Vacchiano, Manning is on pace to be sacked a career-high 55 times.

What's the alternative? A rookie will lead the way-this year, next year or both.

Eventually, the Giants must find out what they have in this year's fourth-round pick, Kyle Lauletta. He'll be the starting point.

Right now, New York is one of four teams with one victory. The Giants are the only one in need of a starting quarterback. Thus, they're positioned well to draft next year's top prospect at the game's most important position. It's a somewhat exciting proposition, even during a failed campaign.

However, the implications extend further down the road. By bypassing a top signal-caller in this year's draft, the Giants are now another season behind in developing a top talent. How long before the next starting quarterback is ready and performing at a satisfactory level? This will shave even more time off of Beckham's prime years.

To put Beckham's performance during such futility into perspective, he broke a Giants record with his 23rd 100-yard receiving effort in only 54 games. New York is 27-44 overall since choosing the wide receiver with the 12th overall pick in the 2014 NFL draft.

Beckham is stuck on an awful squad on which his greatness is nothing more than a side attraction.

A man was shot in the head during an apparent road rage shooting Monday night. His family was in the car at the time.

The shooting happened around 8 p.m. on Interstate 20 near Collins Street in Arlington. The man was driving with his wife and two 3-year-old kids at the time.

The man's wife told police a car behind them acted as if her husband wasn't driving fast enough. The car tried to pass them on the shoulder and ended up side-swiping them on the passenger side.

They pulled over to try to exchange information with the other driver and that's when things turned violent.

The wife man's wife said the other driver walked up to their car and tried to pull the driver's side mirror off. He then pulled out a handgun and shot her husband in the head in the driver's seat.

"Very scary ordeal. The wife reported to us that her husband couldn't even have an opportunity to explain what was going on because the suspect was just so aggressive and mad. So it went down so quick," said Lt. Chris Cook with the Arlington Police Department.

Fortunately, the bullet just grazed the man's head. He was taken to the hospital and has already been released. His wife and kids were not hurt.

Police are still looking for the shooter. He is believed to be in a white or silver BMW hatchback with damage to the driver's side.

Anyone with information is asked to call Arlington PD.

Second Police Officer dies after police ambush in South Carolina.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Authorities on Monday said a second South Carolina police officer died from her injuries suffered in an ambush attack at the hands of an ex-Army sharpshooter earlier this month.

Florence County Sheriff Kenney Boone said Deputy Farrah B. Turner died Monday. She had been hospitalized since the attack.

Boone said in a statement that Turner "was the ultimate professional, excelling at everything she did. She dedicated her life to serving the victims of the worst crimes imaginable."

Turner was among seven law enforcement officers shot by 74--year--old Frederick Hopkins. They say the decorated Vietnam War opened fire without warning when officers arrived at his home Oct. 5 to speak with his son about a sex assault investigation.

Police Sgt. Terrence Carraway also was killed.

Hopkins was charged with murder and six counts of attempted murder.

Hopkins fired three of the estimated 129 guns on Oct. 3, Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott told The State newspaper. He used a pistol and two military assault rifles, Lott said.

Lott said Hopkins fired 39 shots total. Hopkins fired from an elevated platform, which allowed him a clear view for several hundred yards down the road of his subdivision.

"It's chilling to see how this house was set up," Lott said. "The officers had no chance whatsoever."

The 21-year-old University of Utah student who was allegedly killed late Monday night by her ex-boyfriend -- a registered sex offender -- was reportedly on the phone with her mother just moments before the fatal shooting.

Lauren McCluskey, a senior from Pullman, Washington, was found dead soon after gunshots were heard near a residential dormitory on campus. Her suspected killer, Melvin Rowland, was found dead inside an off-campus church in downtown Salt Lake City.

In a statement obtained by KTVU and attributed to her family, McCluskey's mom said she was speaking to her daughter on the phone as she returned from an evening class to her apartment.

"Suddenly I heard her yell, 'No, no, no!' I thought she might have been in a car accident. That was the last I heard from her," the statement said. "My husband called 911. I kept the link open. In a few minutes, a young woman picked up the phone and said all of Lauren's things were on the ground."

In the statement, the family said McCluskey and Rowland dated for about one month and he had lied to her about "his name, his age, and his criminal history."

"Lauren was informed by a friend about his criminal history, and she ended the relationship with her killer on October 9, 2013," the statement continued. "She blocked his and his friends' phone numbers and complained to the University of Utah police that she was being harassed."

According to the Salt Lake Tribune, Rowland was convicted of attempted forcible sex abuse and enticing a minor over the Internet in 2004. He was released from prison in 2013.

University of Utah Police Lt. Brian Wahlin told reporters Rowland and McCluskey appeared to have had an argument at about 9 p.m. Monday night. Police found her body just before 10 p.m. near the medical towers.

Wahlin said police followed Rowland into the off-campus church after he was spotted at about 1 a.m. He said Rowland's body was found inside the church; he did not provide the circumstances of Rowland's death.

FOX13 reported Rowland was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound inside the Trinity AME Church, about four miles away from the scene of the shooting.

At 1:47 a.m., the university sent an alert that Rowland was "no longer a threat."

University President Ruth Watkins said the university canceled classes Tuesday and scheduled a 5 p.m. vigil for McCluskey.

"Lauren was a highly regarded member of the university's track and field team and an outstanding scholar, a senior majoring in communication," Watkins said in a campus-wide message. "Several members of our university administration spoke with Lauren's family last night and I have also reached out to them. Her family is understandably in shock at this news about their daughter. They are heartbroken. We have and continue to offer our full support to them at this terrible time."

Athletics Director Mark Harlan said university counselors and psychologists were available to support McCluskey's teammates, coaches and friends.

"This news has shaken not only myself but our entire University of Utah athletics family to its core," he said.

McCluskey was a track and field athlete and majored in communication. She was set to graduate in May 2019.

"It was really scary to look out the window and see. I saw 15 to 20 police officers right where we're standing right now," Tyler Olsen, a student who lives in family housing near the shooting scene, told the Deseret News. "I mean, you're in your home, but nowhere feels safe in that moment."

Last month, an ex-convict pleaded guilty to killing a University of Utah student from China using a gun stolen after another slaying. Austin Boutain, 24, was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Boutain and his wife were charged with hatching a carjacking plot that led to the October 2017 death of 23-year-old Chenwei Guo, whose parents live in Beijing.

Playing shorthanded after two players were suspended for their roles in a fight with the Rockets over the weekend, the Los Angeles Lakers dropped to 0-3 following a gut-wrenching loss to the Spurs in overtime at the Staples Center.

LeBron's Lakers made a furious comeback late in regulation, erasing an eight-point deficit with 1:10 to play in the fourth quarter. A Kyle Kuzma three, assisted by James, cut the Spurs' lead to three with 35 seconds remaining, and LeBron hit a massive three to tie the game with seconds remaining.
James scored five points in overtime and had three assists in the period, but the game will be remembered for his two misses at the free-throw line with 12.8 seconds remaining. James went to the line with the Lakers clinging to a 142-141 lead, but went 0-for-2 from the line in the clutch. When Lebron missed, after the game the fans trolled him by saying that Kobe Bryant would not of missed the free throws.

An explosive device was found in the home mailbox of billionaire George Soros, prompting the FBI to launch an investigation into who may want to harm the philanthropist and political activist, officials said.

The explosive device was discovered about 3:45 p.m. Monday by an employee at Soros' home in Katonah, New York, a suburb of New York City, according to the Bedford Police Department, who responded to the residence.

"An employee of the residence opened the package, revealing what appeared to be an explosive device," Bedford police said in a statement.

The employee placed the suspicious package in a wooded area and called the police, officials said.

A police bomb squad responded and detonated the device, officials said.

The 88-year-old Soros was not home at the time when the device was discovered, and no one was injured in the incident.

Bedford police said the investigation was turned over to the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force.

"We are conducting an investigation at and around a residence in Bedford, New York. There is no threat to public safety, and we have no further comment at this time," the FBI New York office tweeted Monday afternoon.

We are conducting an investigation at and around a residence in Bedford, NY. There is no threat to public safety, and we have no further comment at this time.
- FBI New York (@NewYorkFBI) October 23, 2018

It was not immediately clear if a note was found with the device, or if it was sent to Soros' home in the mail or planted there by a would-be attacker.

Soros has become a favorite target of right-wing groups due to his support of progressive causes and Democratic candidates, but authorities have not commented on whether any specific group is being investigated.

Soros, a Hungarian immigrant who lived through the Nazi occupation of World War II, launched his own hedge fund in 1970 and went on to become one of the most successful investors in U.S. history.

Bruce Alexander was on a Houston-to-Albuquerque flight on Sunday when he twice leaned forward and touched the breast of a woman sitting in front of him, court records show.

The woman, who wasn't identified, told authorities she thought the first of two touchings may have been accidental, while the second clearly wasn't.

According to court documents, after she dozed off and was touched again "she rose from her seat, turned around and told the passenger behind her that she didn't know why he thought it was OK and he needed to stop."

A crew member relocated the woman to a different seat.

Alexander, whose hands matched those described by the victim -- "thick fingers, were hairy and dirty finger nails" -- was arrested when the plane landed.

Alexander has been charged with abusive sexual contact. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for later today.

It's unclear at this time whether Alexander has retained legal counsel.

The University of Utah community is grieving after an "accomplished" student athlete was shot dead on campus Monday night, the school said.

Lauren McCluskey, of Washington state, was found dead in a parked car on campus, witnesses told police, who have not announced a motive for the killing.

McCluskey, a senior majoring in communication, was on the track and field team, the university said.

The suspected shooter, Melvin Rowland, who killed himself, may have been an ex-boyfriend, authorities said.

Rowland, 37, a registered sex offender, had been seen fleeing the Medical Towers, a dorm near the university's northeastern edge, around the time of the shooting, authorities said.

Rowland wasn't a student there, police said.

"They chased him to this location, where they found that he had forced entry into the church," University of Utah Police Services Lt. Brian Wahlin said. "After clearing the building, they found our suspect deceased in a room in the church, suffering from a self-inflicted gunshot wound."

Rowland, a resident of Salt Lake City, was convicted of attempted forcible sex abuse and enticing a minor over the internet in 2004, court records show.

Classes have been canceled Tuesday "to allow our campus community to grieve the senseless loss of this bright, young woman," the university said in a statement. "We have made our counseling and support services available to students, staff and faculty."

McCluskey's "family is understandably in shock at this news about their daughter," the university added. "They are heartbroken. We have and continue to offer our full support to them at this terrible time."

Monday's tragedy was the second deadly shooting at the university since last year.

Student Austin Boutain, 24, was arrested in October 2017 after he fatally shot ChenWei Guo, a 23-year-old computer science major.

Boutain entered a plea of guilty last month to aggravated murder, attempted aggravated murder and aggravated kidnapping, according to Salt Lake Tribune. He agreed to be sentenced to spend the rest of his life in prison.

The 21-year-old University of Utah student who was allegedly killed late Monday night by her ex-boyfriend -- a registered sex offender -- was reportedly on the phone with her mother just moments before the fatal shooting.

Lauren McCluskey, a senior from Pullman, Washington, was found dead soon after gunshots were heard near a residential dormitory on campus. Her suspected killer, Melvin Rowland, was found dead inside an off-campus church in downtown Salt Lake City.

In a statement obtained by KTVU and attributed to her family, McCluskey's mom said she was speaking to her daughter on the phone as she returned from an evening class to her apartment.

"Suddenly I heard her yell, 'No, no, no!' I thought she might have been in a car accident. That was the last I heard from her," the statement said. "My husband called 911. I kept the link open. In a few minutes, a young woman picked up the phone and said all of Lauren's things were on the ground."

In the statement, the family said McCluskey and Rowland dated for about one month and he had lied to her about "his name, his age, and his criminal history."

"Lauren was informed by a friend about his criminal history, and she ended the relationship with her killer on October 9, 2013," the statement continued. "She blocked his and his friends' phone numbers and complained to the University of Utah police that she was being harassed."

According to the Salt Lake Tribune, Rowland was convicted of attempted forcible sex abuse and enticing a minor over the Internet in 2004. He was released from prison in 2013.

University of Utah Police Lt. Brian Wahlin told reporters Rowland and McCluskey appeared to have had an argument at about 9 p.m. Monday night. Police found her body just before 10 p.m. near the medical towers.

Wahlin said police followed Rowland into the off-campus church after he was spotted at about 1 a.m. He said Rowland's body was found inside the church; he did not provide the circumstances of Rowland's death.

FOX13 reported Rowland was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound inside the Trinity AME Church, about four miles away from the scene of the shooting.

At 1:47 a.m., the university sent an alert that Rowland was "no longer a threat."

University President Ruth Watkins said the university canceled classes Tuesday and scheduled a 5 p.m. vigil for McCluskey.

"Lauren was a highly regarded member of the university's track and field team and an outstanding scholar, a senior majoring in communication," Watkins said in a campus-wide message. "Several members of our university administration spoke with Lauren's family last night and I have also reached out to them. Her family is understandably in shock at this news about their daughter. They are heartbroken. We have and continue to offer our full support to them at this terrible time."

Athletics Director Mark Harlan said university counselors and psychologists were available to support McCluskey's teammates, coaches and friends.

"This news has shaken not only myself but our entire University of Utah athletics family to its core," he said.

McCluskey was a track and field athlete and majored in communication. She was set to graduate in May 2019.

"It was really scary to look out the window and see. I saw 15 to 20 police officers right where we're standing right now," Tyler Olsen, a student who lives in family housing near the shooting scene, told the Deseret News. "I mean, you're in your home, but nowhere feels safe in that moment."

Last month, an ex-convict pleaded guilty to killing a University of Utah student from China using a gun stolen after another slaying. Austin Boutain, 24, was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Boutain and his wife were charged with hatching a carjacking plot that led to the October 2017 death of 23-year-old Chenwei Guo, whose parents live in Beijing.

Taylor Swift's under-the-radar generosity strikes again.

The singer donated $15,500 to the GoFundMe page set up by a young fan whose mom has been in a coma for three years.

Earlier this month, the fan, Sadie, tweeted out the link to her GoFundMe page and wrote to her fellow Swifties, "Hey guys. I'm really nervous to post this. Please help if you can and pray for my family. I'm sorry I never said anything sooner and that I'm suddenly asking for help. I love you guys so much."

The tweet contained the text of a lengthy letter in which Sadie explained that her mom has been in a coma because of an ulcer that bled and cut off oxygen to her brain. While she's made some progress, she is still considered to be comatose until she's able to communicate, Sadie said.

"We take care of her at home full time, my dad is unable to work because he has to always be with my mom," she continued. "My older brother and I have to provide for our family, my family is in trouble."

"I'm happy to provide for my family but I am 19 and everything is really hard right now," she added. "I feel like I've reached my breaking point...please help if you can."

The "most-liked" donation is Taylor's, and it reads, "Love, Taylor, Meredith and Olivia Swift." That's actually what it says on Sadie's Twitter page profile, so Taylor obviously did her research. A source told ABC News that Swift did in fact make the donation.

"You guys this is amazing," Sadie tweeted. "I love Taylor so much."

Thanks to Taylor, the GoFundMe site has now raised more than $25,800 of its $40,000 goal.

Man accused of groping women on flight: Trump says it OK to grab women by their private parts. In the hearing he claimed that our President said it was okay.

A man arrested for allegedly touching a woman's breast on an airplane, according to court documents, told authorities "the president of the United States says it's OK to grab women by their private parts."

Bruce Alexander was on a Houston-to-Albuquerque flight on Sunday when he twice leaned forward and touched the breast of a woman sitting in front of him, court records show.

The woman, who wasn't identified, told authorities she thought the first of two touchings may have been accidental, while the second clearly wasn't.

According to court documents, after she dozed off and was touched again "she rose from her seat, turned around and told the passenger behind her that she didn't know why he thought it was OK and he needed to stop."

A crew member relocated the woman to a different seat.

Alexander, whose hands matched those described by the victim -- "thick fingers, were hairy and dirty finger nails" -- was arrested when the plane landed.

Alexander has been charged with abusive sexual contact. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for later today.

It's unclear at this time whether Alexander has retained legal counsel.

A university of Utah student was shot, and later it was found out that the gunman was a sex offender, but he was found dead.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The 37-year-old registered sex offender believed to have shot and killed a University of Utah student outside a dormitory on campus Monday night was reportedly found dead in an off-campus location early Tuesday morning, the university confirmed.

Melvin Rowland was reportedly found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound several hours after the body of a female student was discovered near the medical towers.

University President Ruth Watkins confirmed in a campus-wide message that Lauren McCluskey, a senior from Pullman, Washington, was the student killed Monday night.

"Lauren was a highly regarded member of the university's track and field team and an outstanding scholar, a senior majoring in communication," the letter said. "Several members of our university administration spoke with Lauren's family last night and I have also reached out to them. Her family is understandably in shock at this news about their daughter. They are heartbroken. We have and continue to offer our full support to them at this terrible time."

In the note, Watkins confirmed Rowland was found deceased at an off-campus location. FOX13 reported Rowland was found dead inside the Trinity AME Church, about four miles away from the scene of the shooting.

"As a campus community, we share grief over this tragic loss of life. Our deepest sympathy is extended to Lauren's family and friends," Watkins added.

Lt. Brian Wahlin with the University of Utah Police Department told reporters McCluskey had a "previous relationship" with Rowland and they are believed to have had an argument at about 9 p.m. Monday night.

Several students on campus reported hearing the fight and later gunshots, the Salt Lake Tribune reported.

At 1:47 a.m., the university sent an alert that Rowland was no longer a threat and all classes had been canceled Tuesday.

A spokesperson with the University of Utah's police department did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment.

According to the Salt Lake Tribune, Rowland was convicted of attempted forcible sex abuse and enticing a minor over the Internet in 2004. He was released from prison in 2013.

The University of Utah community is grieving after an "accomplished" student athlete was shot dead on campus Monday night, the school said.

Lauren McCluskey, of Washington state, was found dead in a parked car on campus, witnesses told police, who have not announced a motive for the killing.

McCluskey, a senior majoring in communication, was on the track and field team, the university said.

The suspected shooter, Melvin Rowland, who killed himself, may have been an ex-boyfriend, authorities said.

Rowland, 37, a registered sex offender, had been seen fleeing the Medical Towers, a dorm near the university's northeastern edge, around the time of the shooting, authorities said.

Rowland wasn't a student there, police said.

"They chased him to this location, where they found that he had forced entry into the church," University of Utah Police Services Lt. Brian Wahlin said. "After clearing the building, they found our suspect deceased in a room in the church, suffering from a self-inflicted gunshot wound."

Rowland, a resident of Salt Lake City, was convicted of attempted forcible sex abuse and enticing a minor over the internet in 2004, court records show.

Classes have been canceled Tuesday "to allow our campus community to grieve the senseless loss of this bright, young woman," the university said in a statement. "We have made our counseling and support services available to students, staff and faculty."

McCluskey's "family is understandably in shock at this news about their daughter," the university added. "They are heartbroken. We have and continue to offer our full support to them at this terrible time."

Monday's tragedy was the second deadly shooting at the university since last year.

Student Austin Boutain, 24, was arrested in October 2017 after he fatally shot ChenWei Guo, a 23-year-old computer science major.

Boutain entered a plea of guilty last month to aggravated murder, attempted aggravated murder and aggravated kidnapping, according to Salt Lake Tribune. He agreed to be sentenced to spend the rest of his life in prison.

Ecuadorean man detained while delivering pizza arrested again after argument with wife

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Ecuadorian pizza deliveryman who was previously detained at a Brooklyn military post has now been arrested on Long Island after an alleged argument with his wife.

Pablo Villavicencio, 35, is charged with criminal mischief after he pushed her into a wall and slapped her, according to a criminal complaint in Nassau County.

He was previously detained June 1 after delivering pizza to the Fort Hamilton Army post in Brooklyn. At the time Villavicencio was seeking to establish legal residency and override a 2010 deportation order.

Villavicencio was successfully removed from the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement after a federal judge ruled he was stripped of his right to "engage in an immigration process."

Even with this pending criminal charge, ICE will not take custody of him while he has pending immigration applications, a spokeswoman for the agency said.

He is married to a U.S. citizen. Their two young daughters also are U.S. citizens.

Villavicencio is accused of getting into a fight with his wife in their Hempstead home last Thursday. During the fight he allegedly pushed her against a wall and slapped her body. He then took away his wife's phone to prevent her from calling the police, according to the criminal complaint.

He was arraigned in court on Saturday and ordered held on $500 bail. He is due back in court on Tuesday.

ABC News has reached out to attorneys who are possibly representing him, but those calls were not immediately returned.
