Florida lawmakers advance a bill that requires 'In God We Trust' displayed on school grounds

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
"It is not a secret that we have some gun issues that need to be addressed," said Rep. Kimberly Daniels, a Democrat, said on the House floor Wednesday. "But the real thing that needs to be addressed are issues of the heart."

The bill passed 97 to 10 in the House -- just a day after the state Legislature voted against a measure to consider banning the sale of assault weapons. During that session Tuesday, the legislature also declared pornography to be a public health risk.

The bill says the "In God We Trust" motto needs to be displayed in a conspicuous place. It would cover all schools in a district and in each building used by a district school board. An identical bill has been introduced in the Senate.

If approved, the legislation would take effect July 1.

In her remarks, Daniels made reference to the Parkland shooting where 17 students and teachers were gunned down.

"God isn't "Republican and he's not a Democrat," she said. "He's not black and he's not white. He is the light. And our schools need light in them like never before."

Trump uses cue card to remind him to listen to shooting survivors

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Briefing notes captured by photographers at US president Donald Trump's White House listening session with survivors of gun violence show that he needed to be reminded to say "I hear you".

Close-up pictures of the note revealed that it had five points, of which the first was a reminder to ask the question: "What would you most want me to know about your experience". The second question listed is "What can we do to make you feel safe?"

The president's note also prompted Trump to ask survivors for their ideas, or what resources they think might be needed.

But it is the final note - "I hear you" - that has attracted the most criticism, with the implication that without a prompt the president would be unable to show sympathy towards those affected by school shootings, some of whom had travelled from Florida for the occasion.

The meeting at the White House was attended by survivors of last week's Florida school shooting. At the meeting, Trump suggested that he would consider arming teachers as a measure against school shootings. "It only works when you have people very adept at using firearms, of which you have many. It would be teachers and coaches."

During the election campaign in 2016, Trump tweeted that opponent Hillary Clinton was lying when she suggested that Trump would put more guns in schools.

The close-up photograph of the note also revealed that Donald Trump was wearing a shirt with "45" embroidered onto the cuff.

Trump did not appear to directly use any of the questions or phrases on the card at the meeting, but did thank those who had attended. "Thank you for pouring out your hearts," Trump said "because the world is watching and we're going to come up with a solution."

A threat written on a wall in Tampa, Florida said, “Careful, don’t come to school Friday 2-23 you’ll see why.” This post was spread on snapchat and everyone began to believe it pertained to their local schools. Although this threat was not from our area, Lee's Summit High School is taking extra precautions today.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Officials at Lee's Summit High School are taking extra precautions on Friday after a school threat spread across the country on social media and caused a concern in the community.

On Thursday, the Lee's Summit Police Department informed the community that social media had been carrying information about a possible threat of school violence to be carried out on Friday.

Investigators determined that the original threat was written on a bathroom wall at a school in Tampa, FL. They say a picture of the post was shared repeatedly on Snapchat and became a "local," threat everywhere that it was seen.

The threat said, "Careful, don't come to school Friday 2-23 you'll see why." The threat also contained a smiley face.

Police in Lee's Summit say they will be vigilant and that they appreciate everyone reporting the threat to them. They say, "we can never be too careful".

Even though the threat did not originate in Lee's Summit, officials at the district are taking extra precautions, posting extra police officers at the school on Friday.

"Bottom line, there is no safety concern regarding Lee's Summit High School, and we will proceed with school as scheduled on Friday," LSPD said.

Officials say safety is the top priority at the school and will take all concerns seriously and thoroughly investigate all situations.

"We encourage our parents and students to continue to report any concerns to our staff members directly or via our SafeSchools Alert link, available via "Report a Link" on our school's homepage. We commend our students and families who took time to share this information and partner with us on student safety," school officials said.

The school also reached out to parents on Thursday evening, leaving voicemails so they were aware of what was happening.

Marquis Mitchell, a parent at Lee's Summit High School, says the school district made the right call.

"Very safe, and I've always felt that way in Lee's Summit. I mean they are always on it and they take care of our kids and of course when I come and drop my kids off I pray over the whole community, so I know they are covered," Mitchell said.

Officials at the school in Tampa say they did not find the post credible and will conduct classes on Friday. Increased security measures will be in place.

Snapchat stock loses $1.3 billion after Kylie Jenner tweet.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Kylie Jenner is not happy about Snapchat's new redesign.

Snap stock closed down 6% on Thursday after the reality TV star said she is no longer using the app. The plunge wiped about $1.3 billion off the company's market value.

Jenner has been one of Snapchat's most influential users.

"Sooo does anyone else not open Snapchat anymore? Or is it just me... ugh this is so sad," Jenner tweeted on Wednesday.

In another tweet she said, "Still love you tho snap ... my first love."

Related: Snapchat responds to users critical of redesign: 'We hear you'

Snapchat has been under fire from users who have criticized the app's new layout for being too confusing to navigate. Over 1.2 million people have signed a petition on Change.org asking Snapchat to remove the redesign.

Snap did not respond to a request for comment.

Jenner wields extraordinary influence on the platform. Her celebrity adds fuel to the backlash surrounding the app's major redesign, according to Daniel Ives, chief strategy officer and head of technology research at GBH Insights.

"We believe this is an overreaction as Wall Street is hypersensitive to the app redesign," he told CNN. "With roughly 25 million followers, [Jenner] carries a loud mouthpiece that speaks to today's knee jerk reaction in shares."

Related: Snap CEO made $638 million last year

Ives believes the update was necessary to expand Snapchat's user base. He said the previous app design was confusing, and the format shunned older users and advertisers.

"Snap is doing the right strategic moves but needs to manage this process well," he said.

Earlier this week, Snapchat announced an update aimed at making it easier for users to view content they want to see.

"We hear you, and appreciate that you took the time to let us know how you feel. We completely understand the new Snapchat has felt uncomfortable for many," the company wrote on Change.org, in response to the petition.

Snapchat said it will soon roll out tabs in the app's Friends and Discover sections to make it easier for users to find Stories, which are photos and videos shared by users that disappear after 24 hours.

Jenner isn't the only celebrity who has been vocal about disliking the redesign.

Earlier this month, model Chrissy Teigen tweeted: "How many people have to hate an update for it to be reconsidered?"

Thomas Whitaker from Texas was convicted of capital murder of his mother and brother in 2003. Minutes before he was to be executed, his sentence was changed to life in prison. Gov. Abbott has allowed 30 executions in his time and governor.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott decided to reduce Thomas Whitaker's sentence to life in prison without parole, the governor said in a statement.

It's the first time Abbott spared the life of an inmate on death row and the first time in years that a governor reduced the sentence of a death row inmate.

Abbott has allowed 30 executions during his time as Texas governor, his office said.

Whitaker was convicted of capital murder in connection to the 2003 killings of his mom and brother. Authorities say Whitaker and another man attacked his family as they returned to their suburban Houston home from dinner.

During the ambush, Whitaker's mother and brother were killed. His father survived after receiving a gunshot to the chest, according to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

The record indicates the other man shot the victims. Unlike, Whitaker, he did not receive the death penalty.

Officials say the younger Whitaker conspired to kill his family members so that he would receive a presumed hefty inheritance.

"The murders of Mr. Whitaker's mother and brother are reprehensible. The crime deserves severe punishment for the criminals who killed them. The recommendation of the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles, and my action on it, ensures Mr. Whitaker will never be released from prison," the governor said.

The inmate's father, Kent Whitaker, has "passionately" opposed the execution of his son, recently he asked the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles to recommend a change on his sentence.

"Mr. Whitaker's father insists that he would be victimized again if the state put to death his last remaining immediate family member," Abbott said.

Following Thursday's decision, Kent Whitaker told reporters he was grateful for Abbott's decision.

"I want to thank the governor for doing the hard work to review this unusual case and give it the extra special time it took to reach a good decision. He did make the right decision and we are very grateful for that," the inmate's father said.

Whitaker, who was in the death chamber's holding cell Thursday, said he was thankful for the decision, not for himself but for his dad, according to Jason Clark, a spokesman with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

"Whatever punishment I might have received or will receive will be just. I deserve any punishment for my crimes, but my Dad did nothing wrong. The system worked for him today, and I will do my best to uphold my end of the bargain," he said in a statement released by Clark.

Whitaker's father said he hopes one day to make a visit.

"One of the blessings that is going to come from this, for me, is that as time goes by, perhaps he will earn the privilege of having an open visit where I'll be able to hug him, shake his hand," said Kent Whitaker. "That hasn't happened since June of 2004. So, I'm really looking forward to that."

A police officer in Florida allegedly did not enter the school during the shooting, his house is under protection and was called a 'coward' by Trump.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The home of the former school resource deputy who stayed outside the Florida high school as last week's massacre unfolded was being protected Friday by law enforcement officials - even as President Trump called out the ex-cop, suggesting he was a "coward."

Reporters who attempted to approach the West Palm Beach home of ex-Broward County Sheriff's Office Deputy Scot Peterson were reportedly met with resistance from at least six police officers who were standing guard outside.

"They prevented us from approaching the house," WSVN's Frank Guzman tweeted Thursday.

An Associated Press reporter said he approached Peterson's home Thursday night, seeing lights on inside and cars present. He rang the doorbell twice, but no one answered.
TIMELINE OF FLORIDA SCHOOL SHOOTING
Before departing for his speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Friday morning, Trump, in a set of fiery remarks, lambasted Peterson.

"When it came time to get in there and do something, he didn't have the courage, or something happened," Trump said. "He certainly did a poor job. That's the case where somebody was outside, they are trained, they didn't react properly under pressure or they were a coward."

Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel said Peterson, who was armed when gunman Nikolas Cruz opened fire at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, "never went in[to]" the building that was under attack. He said the school resource officer instead took up a position viewing the western entrance of the building.

Israel said he was "devastated, sick to my stomach" after learning of Peterson's inaction during the school shooting that left 17 people dead. The sheriff said he believes Peterson remained outside the building for roughly four minutes, while the shooting in total lasted around six minutes. Israel said the officer never fired his weapon.

"What matters is that when we, in law enforcement, arrive at an active shooter, we go in and address the target," the sheriff said. "And that's what should've been done."

When asked what Peterson should have done, Israel said the deputy should have "went in, addressed the killer, killed the killer."

He added: "There are no words. I mean, these families lost their children...I've been to the funerals...I've been to the vigils. It's just, ah, there are no words."

Peterson resigned Thursday after video surveillance showed he never entered the school, even though he "clearly" knew there was a shooting taking place, officials said.

Officer Tim Burton of the Coral Springs Police Department, who responded to the shooting, told The New York Times that Peterson "was seeking cover behind a concrete column leading to a stairwell."

More on the Florida school shooting...

The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office confirmed to WTVJ that Peterson's family requested privacy and protection following Peterson's resignation.

Student Jenna Jorsten told WSVN that she was "in shock" Peterson stayed outside -- especially after learning of unarmed teachers and students risking their lives to save others.

"If he's the one with a gun, he should be the one out there with the gun trying to protect the kids," she said. "Why was he hiding outside? It just makes no sense to me whatsoever. I mean it just doesn't make sense to me at all."
FLORIDA SCHOOL SHOOTING SURVIVORS DREAD PARKLAND CAMPUS RETURN
Cruz, 19, has been jailed on 17 counts of murder and police said he confessed to being the shooter. Defense attorneys, state records and people who knew him indicate Cruz displayed behavioral troubles for years.

Two other deputies from the Broward County Sheriff's Office have been placed on restrictive duty as officials investigate "whether or not they could have done more, should've done more."

The officers were identified by WSVN as Edward Eason and Guntis Treijis.

Their restricted assignments come as authorities found they responded to at least 23 calls regarding Cruz or his brother since 2008. In two of the instances, Col. Jack Dale said, protocol might not have been followed.

Israel said an investigation remains ongoing.

Evan Spiegel, CEO of Snapchat, said Thursday that some users complaints about a major redesign actually "validate those changes". More than one million people have signed a petition calling to Snapchat to scratch the new design. Many of the complaints claimed that they felt that the celebrity they followed was there friend and with the redesign they do not feel the same. The company's goal was to make the app easier to use. It doesn't seem like they are going back to the old design.

More than one million people have signed an online petition calling for Snapchat to scrap its new redesign.

But Snapchat's top exec sounds unfazed.

Evan Spiegel, the CEO of Snapchat 's parent company, said Thursday that some user complaints about a major redesign actually "validate those changes."

"One of the complaints we got is, 'Wow, I used to feel this celebrity was my friend and now I don't feel like they're my friend anymore,' " Spiegel said on stage at the Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference. "Exactly. They're not your friend."

The app previously featured content from friends, publishers and celebrities on one page. Now, there's a designated page for publishers and famous people, and a separate page for friends.

Spiegel announced the Snapchat redesign in November. The company's goal was to make the app easier to use after struggling to grow its audience for much of 2017.

But now Snapchat is facing criticism that the app reorganization makes it harder to navigate. Among the complaints: disappearing posts are mixed in with direct messages; updates from friends you contact less frequently are harder to find; and posts shared by celebrities are separated from posts shared by friends.

" ... I no longer feel like Chrissy Teigen is my close personal friend," one Snapchat user wrote on Twitter. "Nothing feels the same. I hate u Snapchat."

Related: As Facebook stumbles, Twitter and Snapchat show new life

The move was part of a deliberate strategy to set Snapchat apart from rivals like Twitter and Facebook 's Instagram.

"One of the complaints we've heard about social media is that photos and videos from your friends are mixed in with content from publishers and creators and influencers," Spiegel said in November. "But your friends aren't content, they're relationships."

"Even some of the complaints we're seeing reinforce the philosophy," Spiegel said Thursday.

The app redesign had rolled out to 40 million users as of earlier this month. It will be available to all users by the end of this quarter.

Snapchat currently has 187 million daily active users. It does not disclose its total user base.

Lawmakers in Florida have advanced a bill that says all schools should display the words ¨Ïn God We Trust¨ on their grounds. This bill was advanced the next day after the state legislature voted against a measure to consider banning the sale of assault weapons. "It is not a secret that we have some gun issues that need to be addressed, but the real thing that needs to be addressed are issues of the heart," says a rep. Kimberly Daniels. She made remarks about the Parkland shooting explaining how she believes that schools need more light now than ever.

For the first time since 1998, the United States won the women's hockey gold medal.

The United States erased the horrors of past Olympics with a 3-2 shootout win against Canada to capture the women's hockey gold medal.

Jocelyne Lamoureux-Davidson pulled off an incredible deke in the sixth round, while Maddie Rooney closed the door on Meghan Agosta as the U.S. won gold for the first time since the '98 Nagano Games.

"I can't think about anything except pure pride, excitement, and honour for our team," winning captain Meghan Duggan told the IIHF. "A lot of us have wanted this since we saw the 1998 team win 20 years ago. To have this experience together, to represent our country is the greatest honor in the world. It's one of the greatest days of all of our lives."

The Americans needed a goal in the fourth inning as Melodie Daoust lit the lamp for Canada, but Amanda Kessel answered. The sister of two-time Stanley Cup champion Phil Kessel snapped a wrist shot over the glove of Shannon Szabados to keep the dream alive for the U.S.

"Our entire team battled through a lot," Kessel said after the historic victory. "You can't see it on the outside, but the heart that every single girl has on this team, I knew we had it within us to win."

Trailing 2-1 in the third period, Monique Lamoureux-Morando converted a breakaway to knot the score 2-2 to force the 20-minute overtime period that preceded the prolonged shootout. Kelly Pannek took advantage of a poor Canadian line change and found No. 7 waiting at the opposition's blue line.

The U.S. first got on the board when Hilary Knight scored her second goal of the tournament at 19:35 of the first period. Knight redirected Sidney Morin's shot to give the U.S. a 1-0 lead on its third power play of the first 20 minutes.

"I wouldn't take away my experience from the last two silver medals," Knight said. "Obviously losing isn't a great feeling, but it's just something so special about this group and to be able to win a gold at the end of this tournament is incredible."

Haley Irwin batted a puck out of midair to tie the game at one, two minutes into the middle frame. Blayre Turnbull sent a fluttering puck toward the net, and a crashing Irwin was able to tip it just enough to get past Rooney.

Canada's captain Marie-Philip Poulin gave her team a 2-1 lead when her wrist shot found twine at 6:55 of the second period. Meghan Agosta found Poulin in the slot, allowing the captain to tally her fifth overall goal in three Olympic gold-medal game appearances.

The 2018 team openly spoke about how the members of the '98 squad fueled their desire to win a gold medal. Now, there is another moment in U.S. women's hockey history to motivate the next group of players.

"It gives me the chills," Kendall Coyne told the IIHF. "It's unbelievable. A lot of us are here because of the '98 team. We were inspired by their victory. So hopefully there's a ton of girls that pick up hockey in the United States and all over the world. This was a tremendous win, and the future generations are really going to soar from it as well."

Florida high-school student Peter Wang had the lifetime goal of attending the U.S. Military Academy in New York.

According to news reports, Wang died in his JROTC uniform while helping others escape from 19-year-old shooter Nikolas Cruz, a former JROTC member.

West Point posthumously admitted Wang to the Class of 2025 for his heroic actions, according to an academy statement.

"It was an appropriate way for USMA to honor this brave young man," the statement said. "West Point has given posthumous offers of admissions in very rare instances for those candidates or potential candidates whose actions exemplified the tenets of duty, honor and country."

The 15-year-old was one of three JROTC cadets who died during the shooting in Parkland, Florida.

Cadets Alaina Petty, 14, and Martin Duque, 13, were also killed.

All three cadets are being honored with JROTC Heroism Medals, a spokesman for Army Cadet Command told Army Times.

Wang was buried Tuesday in uniform, at his family's request, and the JROTC Heroism Medal was on his uniform, said Lt. Col. Christopher Belcher, spokesman for Army Cadet Command. A second medal was given to the family as a keepsake, he said.

A medal was presented to Petty's family at her service Monday morning.

On Saturday, Duque's family will receive the medal at his service.

The medal is awarded to cadets who perform an act of heroism, one that is "so exceptional and outstanding that it clearly sets the individual apart from fellow students or from other persons in similar circumstances," according to the criteria for the award.

A White House petition for Wang to receive a full-honors military burial was created on Friday, and as of Tuesday it had more than 64,000 of the 100,000 signatures needed to be viewed by the White House.

According to a tweet from Florida Gov. Rick Scott, he directed the Florida National Guard to attend the funeral services for the three fallen cadets.

Scott tweeted that the Guard members "will be attending funeral services and paying respect to these JROTC members, their families and loved ones."

I've directed the @FLGuard to honor the three fallen JROTC members from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. @FLGuard members will be attending funeral services and paying respect to these JROTC members, their families and loved ones. https://t.co/0w8Lnuh5ro

Outside allies are attempting to tell Trump that he has done enough in the wake of the shooting in Florida, they fear the media will drive trump to make more limitations on guns

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
These people fear the President will be ensnared by emotional cable news appearances and arguments from gun control advocates into going too far - all at the risk of antagonizing his pro-gun base.

Trump has called for raising the minimum age to purchase a firearm to 21, a proposal the National Rifle Association has rejected.

The President was moved by the appearances of shooting survivors that were blanketing cable news, and even more so after meeting with several survivors at the White House this week, a source familiar with his thinking said.

"We're going to do something about this horrible situation that's going on, and we're going to all figure it out together," Trump said during a listening session with school shooting survivors and parents at the White House Wednesday. "I want to listen. And then after I listen, we're going to get things done."

A Minneapolis-bound flight that was diverted to locations in Wisconsin twice due to bad weather early Friday skidded off the runway while trying to land, the airline confirmed to Fox News.

United Airlines Flight 878 left Houston's Bush International Airport around 9:09 p.m. Thursday on its way to Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport.

Severe weather caused the flight to be diverted to Madison, Wisc. The flight took off from Madison sometime later, but was again diverted due to bad weather - this time to Green Bay, Wisc., the airline told Fox News in a statement Friday morning.

While landing in Green Bay, snow on the ground caused the aircraft to slide off the runway.

"There were no injuries and we have arranged transport for passengers from the aircraft to the airport terminal," an airline spokeswoman said in a statement. "We apologize to our customers and have provided hotel accommodations."

Making Sense of the Disappointing Winter Olympics Medal Count for Team USA

On Wednesday night into Thursday morning, the US Women's Olympic hockey team defeated Canada to win the Gold Medal. At the end of regulation, the teams were tied and went into overtime. At the end of overtime, they were still in a tie. The game ended with the US winning a shoot-out and a save by goalie Maddie Rooney. This was the first time in 20 years (since 1998).

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
For the first time since 1998, the United States won the women's hockey gold medal.

The United States erased the horrors of past Olympics with a 3-2 shootout win against Canada to capture the women's hockey gold medal.

Jocelyne Lamoureux-Davidson pulled off an incredible deke in the sixth round, while Maddie Rooney closed the door on Meghan Agosta as the U.S. won gold for the first time since the '98 Nagano Games.

"I can't think about anything except pure pride, excitement, and honour for our team," winning captain Meghan Duggan told the IIHF. "A lot of us have wanted this since we saw the 1998 team win 20 years ago. To have this experience together, to represent our country is the greatest honor in the world. It's one of the greatest days of all of our lives."

The Americans needed a goal in the fourth inning as Melodie Daoust lit the lamp for Canada, but Amanda Kessel answered. The sister of two-time Stanley Cup champion Phil Kessel snapped a wrist shot over the glove of Shannon Szabados to keep the dream alive for the U.S.

"Our entire team battled through a lot," Kessel said after the historic victory. "You can't see it on the outside, but the heart that every single girl has on this team, I knew we had it within us to win."

Trailing 2-1 in the third period, Monique Lamoureux-Morando converted a breakaway to knot the score 2-2 to force the 20-minute overtime period that preceded the prolonged shootout. Kelly Pannek took advantage of a poor Canadian line change and found No. 7 waiting at the opposition's blue line.

The U.S. first got on the board when Hilary Knight scored her second goal of the tournament at 19:35 of the first period. Knight redirected Sidney Morin's shot to give the U.S. a 1-0 lead on its third power play of the first 20 minutes.

"I wouldn't take away my experience from the last two silver medals," Knight said. "Obviously losing isn't a great feeling, but it's just something so special about this group and to be able to win a gold at the end of this tournament is incredible."

Haley Irwin batted a puck out of midair to tie the game at one, two minutes into the middle frame. Blayre Turnbull sent a fluttering puck toward the net, and a crashing Irwin was able to tip it just enough to get past Rooney.

Canada's captain Marie-Philip Poulin gave her team a 2-1 lead when her wrist shot found twine at 6:55 of the second period. Meghan Agosta found Poulin in the slot, allowing the captain to tally her fifth overall goal in three Olympic gold-medal game appearances.

The 2018 team openly spoke about how the members of the '98 squad fueled their desire to win a gold medal. Now, there is another moment in U.S. women's hockey history to motivate the next group of players.

"It gives me the chills," Kendall Coyne told the IIHF. "It's unbelievable. A lot of us are here because of the '98 team. We were inspired by their victory. So hopefully there's a ton of girls that pick up hockey in the United States and all over the world. This was a tremendous win, and the future generations are really going to soar from it as well."

A drug used to euthanize animals has been found in canned dog food. Low levels of the drug were found in cans of Gravy Train, Kibbles 'N Bits, Ol' Roy, and Skippy. All of these food are made by J.M. Smucker Company. If dogs consume high levels of this, it can lead to coma or death and other negative side effects.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Low levels of the drug pentobarbital were detected in cans of Gravy Train dog food produced by the J.M. Smucker Company, the FDA said in a statement Friday.

Pentobarbital is most commonly used as a sedative, anesthetic or to euthanize animals, it said.

"Pets that eat pet food containing pentobarbital can experience drowsiness, dizziness, excitement, loss of balance, nausea, nystagmus (eyes moving back and forth in a jerky manner) and inability to stand. Consuming high levels of pentobarbital can cause coma and death," it said.

The FDA said its preliminary evaluation of the testing results of Gravy Train samples indicated the low levels found were unlikely to pose a health risk to pets.

"However, any detection of pentobarbital in pet food is a violation of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act-simply put, pentobarbital should not be in pet food," it said.

'Single supplier'

The J.M. Smucker Company said it had initiated a voluntary recall of specific shipments of Gravy Train, Kibbles 'N Bits, Ol' Roy and Skippy canned dog food after pentobarbital was found.

"The Company has identified the root cause to be a single supplier and a single, minor ingredient, used at one manufacturing facility," it said in a statement.

It said it took the issue "very seriously" and was "extremely disappointed" at the contamination.

"Above all, we are a company that loves pets and understand the responsibility we have in providing high quality food for the pets our consumers love."

Customers who purchased the product could call with any concerns or for a refund or replacement product, the company said.

Cop who didn't enter school during Florida shooting resigns, has home guarded, is slammed as 'coward' by Trump

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The home of the former school resource deputy who stayed outside the Florida high school as last week's massacre unfolded was being protected Friday by law enforcement officials - even as President Trump called out the ex-cop, suggesting he was a "coward."

Reporters who attempted to approach the West Palm Beach home of ex-Broward County Sheriff's Office Deputy Scot Peterson were reportedly met with resistance from at least six police officers who were standing guard outside.

"They prevented us from approaching the house," WSVN's Frank Guzman tweeted Thursday.

An Associated Press reporter said he approached Peterson's home Thursday night, seeing lights on inside and cars present. He rang the doorbell twice, but no one answered.
TIMELINE OF FLORIDA SCHOOL SHOOTING
Before departing for his speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Friday morning, Trump, in a set of fiery remarks, lambasted Peterson.

"When it came time to get in there and do something, he didn't have the courage, or something happened," Trump said. "He certainly did a poor job. That's the case where somebody was outside, they are trained, they didn't react properly under pressure or they were a coward."

Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel said Peterson, who was armed when gunman Nikolas Cruz opened fire at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, "never went in[to]" the building that was under attack. He said the school resource officer instead took up a position viewing the western entrance of the building.

Israel said he was "devastated, sick to my stomach" after learning of Peterson's inaction during the school shooting that left 17 people dead. The sheriff said he believes Peterson remained outside the building for roughly four minutes, while the shooting in total lasted around six minutes. Israel said the officer never fired his weapon.

"What matters is that when we, in law enforcement, arrive at an active shooter, we go in and address the target," the sheriff said. "And that's what should've been done."

When asked what Peterson should have done, Israel said the deputy should have "went in, addressed the killer, killed the killer."

He added: "There are no words. I mean, these families lost their children...I've been to the funerals...I've been to the vigils. It's just, ah, there are no words."

Peterson resigned Thursday after video surveillance showed he never entered the school, even though he "clearly" knew there was a shooting taking place, officials said.

Officer Tim Burton of the Coral Springs Police Department, who responded to the shooting, told The New York Times that Peterson "was seeking cover behind a concrete column leading to a stairwell."

More on the Florida school shooting...

The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office confirmed to WTVJ that Peterson's family requested privacy and protection following Peterson's resignation.

Student Jenna Jorsten told WSVN that she was "in shock" Peterson stayed outside -- especially after learning of unarmed teachers and students risking their lives to save others.

"If he's the one with a gun, he should be the one out there with the gun trying to protect the kids," she said. "Why was he hiding outside? It just makes no sense to me whatsoever. I mean it just doesn't make sense to me at all."
FLORIDA SCHOOL SHOOTING SURVIVORS DREAD PARKLAND CAMPUS RETURN
Cruz, 19, has been jailed on 17 counts of murder and police said he confessed to being the shooter. Defense attorneys, state records and people who knew him indicate Cruz displayed behavioral troubles for years.

Two other deputies from the Broward County Sheriff's Office have been placed on restrictive duty as officials investigate "whether or not they could have done more, should've done more."

The officers were identified by WSVN as Edward Eason and Guntis Treijis.

Their restricted assignments come as authorities found they responded to at least 23 calls regarding Cruz or his brother since 2008. In two of the instances, Col. Jack Dale said, protocol might not have been followed.

Israel said an investigation remains ongoing.

A YouTube star who had claimed a vegan diet and spiritual lifestyle cured her of breast cancer died of the disease, her niece confirmed.

Liz Johnson said her aunt Mari Lopez died in December after the cancer recurred. The two women hosted a YouTube channel together titled "Liz & Mari."

Johnson posted a video Sunday explaining her aunt stopped her vegan diet after her cancer returned. She attributed Lopez's death to undergoing radiation, chemotherapy and eating meat again.

"My aunt passed away in December because her cancer came back," Johnson posted on the YouTube channel. "My aunt was inconsistent in her diet and spiritual life ... I never pushed my aunt to do anything or stay away from doctors."

In the video, Johnson said Lopez asked her to take down videos of her speaking about a vegan lifestyle after she realized she would die from the disease, but she refused, KSDK reported. She believed the videos could help others.

In 2016, the two women uploaded a video titled, "Stage 4 cancer natural transformation." In the video, Lopez shared how she cured herself of cancer through a vegan diet, juicing and a lot of praying. The video has more than 370,000 views.

In other videos, the two women shared recipes of "all natural remedies."

But Johnson said she has never been "against doctors or medical advice." Lopez acted in accordance with her own beliefs, she said.

"She chose to do what she did and experienced healing, leading her to share her testimony to help others," Johnson said.

In an interview with Babe, Johnson said her family pushed Lopez to seek chemotherapy. She also said she believed her aunt would still be alive today if she continued her vegan lifestyle.

"I think [the results] would have [been different], honestly," Johnson told Babe. "I really, truly think that they would have. That's what really contributed to her change in the first place. Going backwards is not going to help anything."

Johnson said she plans to continue posting videos to the YouTube channel.
