A school in New York City on Wednesday shut down after a 3-year-old boy, severely allergic to dairy, died after eating a grilled cheese sandwich, reports said.

Elijah Silvera died on Nov. 3 after he went into anaphylactic shock from eating a grilled cheese at the Seventh Avenue Center for Family Services in Harlem, The Daily News reported. He was rushed to the Harlem Hospital pediatric emergency room where he died.

Silvera was served the sandwich "despite them [the school] knowing and having documented that he has a severe allergy to dairy," according to a GoFundMe page. The New York City Health Department released a statement late Wednesday that the school will remain close as the investigation continues, Fox 8 reported.

"There is nothing more important than the safety of our children and we are deeply saddened by this tragedy. We will get to the bottom of what happened here. In the meantime, we're closing the Center for Family Services and continuing to aggressively investigate what happened and whether the facility could have done something differently to prevent this tragedy," the statement read.

Silvera's GoFundMe page has raised nearly $18,500 and will go towards an independent autopsy report.

At least 26 churchgoers were killed when a gunman opened fire inside First Baptist Church in Texas during Sunday’s service.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
At least 26 churchgoers were killed when a gunman opened fire inside First Baptist Church in Texas during Sunday's service.

The victims range in age from 5 to 72, according to authorities. Wilson County Sheriff Joe D. Tackitt Jr. said once the shooting began inside the Southerland Springs, Texas, church, there was likely "no way" for congregants to escape.

Read on to learn more about the victims in Sunday's attack.

Annabelle Pomeroy

Pastor Frank Pomeroy and his wife were out of town Sunday during the attack - but their youngest daughter, Annabelle, attended the service. The 14-year-old was among those killed, according to relatives.

"We lost our 14-year-old daughter today and many friends," Sherri Pomeroy, her mother, told the Associated Press. "Neither of us has made it back into town yet to personally see the devastation. I am at the Charlotte airport trying to get home as soon as I can."

Scott Pomeroy, Annabelle Pomeroy's uncle, posted a tribute to his niece on Facebook.

"Heaven truly gained a real beautiful angel this morning along with many more," he said. "I lost a lot of friends and family this morning but that just means Jesus needed them more."

Since the shooting, Scott Pomeroy has also posted on Facebook numerous Bible verses and words of encouragement.

Bryan Holcombe

As the church service continued Sunday morning, Bryan Holcombe, an associate pastor, was walking up to the podium to lead the congregation in worship when the shooting began, according to the Washington Post. His parents, Joe and Claryce Holcombe, said he was killed in the gunfire.

Several of his family members, including his wife, were also killed in the attack, the parents said.

Bryan Holcombe, who was filling in for the pastor, also did prison ministry and would often bring his ukulele to sing for the inmates, his cousin Nick Uhlig told the Associated Press.

"We knew when he was born, that he was going to be a preacher," Joe Holcombe, his father, told The Washington Post. "His first word was God."

Karla Holcombe

Karla Holcombe, Bryan Holcombe's wife of more than two decades, was also killed in the attack.

A mother and grandmother, Karla Holcombe was described by friends as a generous and loving person. Like her husband, she had also volunteered at prisons and taught Sunday School classes, the Daily Beast reported.

Bryan and Karla Holcombe owned a canvas repair shop in Floresville, Texas, according to the Daily Beast. They also would often post photos of their children and grandchildren on social media.

"They really were loving people," friend Jenna Brown told the Daily Beast. "They were about as close to a true life of Christ as you could get."

Crystal Holcombe

Crystal Holcombe was killed Sunday in church. She was eight months pregnant, according to the Associated Press.

Before loved ones started to post on her Facebook page, frantically searching to see if she survived the massacre, Crystal Holcombe posted about her two daughters, Megan and Emily, who had done well in their 4H club's food challenge. She also posted earlier this month news that her grandfather had passed away.

The Washington Post reported that she homeschooled her children.

John Holcombe, Crystal's husband, shared on Facebook Sunday morning that the Sunday school lesson this week was from Exodus on manna from heaven. Typically, that lesson is about God providing for people's needs.

Facebook users have commented on that public post to express their condolences.

"She doesn't even drink, smoke or nothing," her cousin, Nick Uhlig, told the Associated Press. "She just takes care of kids; she raises goats and makes homemade cheese. That kind of thing, you know? They don't go out dancing or anything like that. They're real old-fashioned, down-to-earth."

Her in-laws, Bryan and Karla Holcombe, were also killed in the attack.

Police in Greece arrest a 30 year old man for trying to smuggle 50 people from the Mideast into the country in his van.

Police in Greece say a 30-year-old man was arrested for allegedly for trying to smuggle 50 people from the Mideast into the country in his van.

Police said the van was spotted on a highway near the Greece-Turkey border on Saturday, but sped off when officers signaled for the driver to stop. A chase ensued before the van was brought to a halt.

Inside the vehicle, officers found men, women and children - 30 from Syria, 19 from Iraq and one from Afghanistan.

Police said Sunday that the refugees paid 1,500 euros ($1,742) each to be transported into Greece.

The driver has been charged with endangering the lives of his passengers, who had to stand in the tightly packed van.

Police said another man was caught Saturday transporting 10 Afghans.

During my recovery at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, I was shown -- maybe in a way I wish I didn't see -- a new light. I was exposed to other men and woman who made my injuries look minimal. I saw wounded service members who were missing two legs and an arm, or even both legs and both arms. I subsequently looked at myself and said, "What excuses do I have to not live a normal, successful life?

During my recovery at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, I was shown -- maybe in a way I wish I didn't see -- a new light. I was exposed to other men and woman who made my injuries look minimal. I saw wounded service members who were missing two legs and an arm, or even both legs and both arms. I subsequently looked at myself and said, "What excuses do I have to not live a normal, successful life?"

After the first year, I was walking well, and then I hit another bump in the road. I had my right leg amputated all the way up to my hip. Previously I had seven inches of my right leg, which allowed for an above-knee prosthetic to be attached with ease. I basically had to start all over again just a year into my recovery. That was the lowest point during my stay at Walter Reed.

Once again, the odds were stacked against me and I had no other choice but to push through as my brothers and sisters were doing the same. For two long years, I worked on my recovery at the center. I started every morning by going to the gym. I worked on my core strength, fitting my prosthetics, and learned how to walk all over again.

Once I was stable enough, I returned to my hometown in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, because I knew I needed a strong support system in the coming years. I was welcomed with thank-you's and offered help in any way needed. But I didn't know exactly what "help" would look like for me at that time.

My life felt like it was going to be defined solely by being a 21-year-old retired United States Marine. I didn't have many aspirations of doing anything more at that point in my life.

It wasn't until someone asked me, "So Brandon, what is next?" To this day, that is the best thing anyone could have ever done for me. That simple question sparked something inside of me that drove me to find my purpose after losing both of my legs in combat.

In the time since, I joined the Board of Directors for It's About the Warrior Foundation, a non-profit devoted to helping veterans in need of additional financial support. I currently manage the grant program for the organization. I've also started my own business -- A.C.T. (Action Conquers Terror) Motivational Speaking, through which I travel around the world and share my story to various clients ranging from professional sports teams to Fortune 500 companies to university students. I even returned to Afghanistan this year to motivate the men and woman currently serving there.

I would hope that all of my brothers and sisters in a similar situation had the same support I did when returning home, but I know every situation is different. Historically, western Pennsylvania is very patriotic, very blue collar and has a hometown feel no matter where you go.

Was America prepared for my return home post-Afghanistan? Yes, it was, especially my hometown of Uniontown, Pennsylvania. I haven't had a bad experience other than your typical handicapped parking spot dispute. There have been times when I pulled into a spot, and before I have been able to get out, someone has run over to the car saying, "You know this is a handicapped spot, right?"

What made my life so much easier is being constantly surrounded by Vietnam-era veterans. I would have these men randomly show up at my house on a weekend, ask if they could come in and talk to me to offer any support I may need.

I would be out in town and, sure enough, a Vietnam veteran would see me, give me a card and say "call me if you need anything." In a way, I felt guilty because of how poorly they were treated when they returned home, but they made it their sole mission to ensure I was treated with dignity and respect because of how we failed them as a country when the Vietnam War ended.

In short, America has been there for me in all aspects. I now live in a handicapped-accessible house -- newly built with my needs in mind and no mortgage -- that was put together by Homes For Our Troops and the community in which I live. That alone has allowed me to focus on my new life, to attack a new career and explore without thinking about having to provide a home.

At the end of the day, 99% of what I have accomplished after my injuries was possible because of other people who lent a helping hand, gave me advice, or were there when I needed someone. This is how it should be for all veterans.

President trump twitter shut down for 11 hours

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Last night, a rogue Twitter employee celebrated their last day with the company by deactivating President Donald Trump's account. In response, Twitter said it has " implemented safeguards to prevent this from happening again." But the company declined to offer any explanation for how it would restrict access to tools that have been accessible to a range of Twitter employees, including contractors. Former employees say the company has known about the risks of rogue employees for years - and that Trump's 11-minute deactivation isn't the first time an employee targeted an account on their way out of the company.

In the wake of Trump's account deactivation shortly before 10PM ET on Thursday, former employees gathered in a private Slack that they use to discuss the company's travails. The rogue employee, who has not been identified, was an immediate source of fascination. "We're now referring to this individual as 'the legend,'" one former employee told The Verge. At the same time, the former employee was not surprised by the incident. "People have 'dropped the mic' in the past and deleted accounts, verified users, and otherwise abused their power on the last day," the employee said. In each case, the employee said, the abuse was caught quickly and did not become public.

"People have 'dropped the mic' in the past and deleted accounts."

These "mic drops" were possible because of the broad availability of customer support tools inside Twitter. The company won't say how many people have access to the tools necessary to deactivate an account like Trump's - and after today, the number is likely much lower. But up until now, as many as hundreds of people have had access to the tools, which let employees see a broad range of information about the account. The access does not allow employees to send tweets from other users' accounts, or to read a user's direct messages.

Still, the lack of protections around accounts for so-called Very Important Tweeters was a known issue inside the company, former employees said. Of particular concern is that many of the customer support staff with high-level privileges are third-party contractors located in the Philippines and Singapore. The New York Times reported on Friday that the person responsible for deactivating Twitter's account was a third-party contractor.

"People pressed to say, there needs to be some kind of escalation flow, or prioritization flow," one former employee said. "Someone in Singapore can't be the person to make a 3-second decision on whether to suspend a verified account. I don't know where that exists today. My hope is that those flows exist. If not, that's pretty scary."

Indeed, while many former employees tweeted their amusement at the incident, others were concerned. "You want to believe that Twitter has gone above and beyond to build tooling and redundancies that prevent any human error around this account given how consequential one tweet could be," another ex-employee told me of the @realdonaldtrump account. "This mistake is incredibly concerning."

"This mistake is incredibly concerning."

Multiple former employees defended the need for customer service tools enabling quick account suspensions. If a hacker obtained access to the president's account, for example, a customer service employee at Twitter would be able to quickly disable it. Similar tools exist at the other big tech companies, from Facebook to Uber. "This type of thing is possible at lots of tech companies - even if they build internal security," said one former Twitter employee who now works at another large social network. "Ultimately, the best you can do is lock down access to as few people as possible and make the repercussions really harsh."

But others worried that the incident revealed weaknesses in Twitter security that could be exploited by bad actors, including state-sponsored hackers. "It gets really chilling when you think about, what if a state is able to recruit somebody as an asset internally, and then go in and shut down accounts at a really key time?" one former employee said. "Or is able to obtain some sort of information about that account? There's lots of really bad, bad versions of this that could play out."

Twitter declined to comment beyond a handful of tweets from its TwitterGov account. "We won't be able to share all details about our internal investigation or updates to our security measures, but we take this seriously and our teams are on it," the account said. An open question is whether the former employee who took down Trump's account could be subject to criminal charges. A person familiar with the situation said Twitter had not yet been contacted law enforcement.

a kid who fought cancer for like a year died.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
After a long battle with stage 4 lung cancer, three-year-old Ayden Brown of Las Vegas died Friday, according to his mother.

Ayden's mom Lindsey Licari confirmed his passing in a Facebook live video posted Friday at 7:18 p.m.

Today, I lost my son. In this world, there was not one doctor, one person that could offer my son any options at all. And he aspirated and stopped breathing. And I tried to do CPR and bring Ayden back. But I wasn't able to. And they tried again, the hospital six times. And even when I saw lines straight, I still knew God could still help him. But Ayden's body couldn't take anymore. So today, I lost Ayden because we live in a world that doesn't prepare for child cancer. And I am broken in so many ways. But they messed with the wrong mom and the wrong kid. Childhood cancer will never be the same now after Ayden. And I will never stop. I will never stop, until you guys stop letting these kids die. Because my son fought to live. He fought his whole life. He fought his whole life to live. And you filled him with poison until his organs couldn't take it anymore and his body fell apart. So you think they took my son and it's not going to change something about cancer? Then you're wrong. Because that little boy was my entire life. He was my entire life. And I had to watch my son dwindle away in front of my face and there was nothing I could do about it. There was nothing I could do about it no matter how much help I could get my son. No matter who I called, there was nothing I could do. But I knew if this disease was going to take Ayden, everybody in the world would know who my son is. Everybody will know Ayden Setoshi Brown. He was three years old. He could tell you every planet in the solar system. He was phenomenally smart and he loved me so much and I loved him too. He didn't deserve to die. These kids don't deserve to die. And if I can do anything in my power, I will make sure that no mother feels how I feel today and have to put their kid in a bag.

In Aug., FOX5 first shared the story of Ayden Brown and it captured national attention, and donations on a GoFundMe page reached $258,840 as of Nov. 3 to cover his medical expenses.

Ayden was treated in Arizona when doctors gave him three weeks to live, but he fought and surpassed that number.

"We were told that his tumors had progressed so far that it was pushing against his heart which was building fluid and no longer made him a candidate for any trial or surgery or radiation," Licari said in late Oct..

Licari and Ayden moved back to Las Vegas and she started researching holistic and herbal medicine.

"Help poured in from every way you can think of and we got help from a herbal doctor as well as other moms who've gone through this," Licari had said.

The financial support from the community paid for all their expenses in Arizona, medical equipment in their home, appointments and much more, she said.

"To have the resources that were made available to us, it made it easier, and now we can pay our rent. I can stay with Ayden," she had said.

Licari said she felt called to help other families going through the same thing.

"Ayden is a bad case and he's been amazingly blessed with support and love but there's a lot of families besides me and Ayden too that are out there suffering and don't have a voice and don't have resources. At least your necessities should not be a worry while you fight for your kids," she said.

Iowa mom 18 charged for her two twins 2 year old found naked near outside highway.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Two small Iowa children were found wandering naked in the street while their mother was asleep, authorities said.

Jasmine Cheyenne Teed, 18, was arrested and charged with child endangerment after cops entered the apartment to find her asleep in a bedroom, the Des Moines Register reports. Officers had to shake her in order to wake her up.

Officers responded to the apartment after receiving a call about unsupervised children wandering around outside.

The temperature was 43 degrees when Teed's 2-year-old twins were discovered, police said, adding that the children risked serious injury by wandering outside.

"After hearing from the witnesses, it was very clear the potential for a tragic outcome was there," Adel Police Chief Gordy Shepherd said in a Friday news release. "We are fortunate there were no injuries."
PAROLE BOARD DENIES EARLY RELEASE FOR MOM OF SLAIN TODDLER
The twins are now with Teed's relatives.

Magistrate Donna Schauer approved an order of protection on Friday, stating that Teed may have "no contact whatsoever" with the two children or the relatives they are staying with.

Teed reportedly told authorities she is unemployed and earned between $600 and $800 over the last year.

The Iowa Department of Human Services has opened its own investigation into Teed, police said.

The NACTO now released information that they brought out the idea that self driving cars would go at a top speed of 20mph. This would mean that pedestrians could pass everywhere.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Self-driving cars could convert cities into pedestrian paradises.

A report released this week from the National Association of City Transportation Officials, a nonprofit representing cities on transportation issues, lays out a vision for the future of city streets as autonomous vehicles arrive. Some cities look to NACTO for recommendations, but it's unclear if cities will adopt its guidance.

The blueprint suggests generallylimiting self-driving vehicles to 20 mph and allowing pedestrians to cross streets anywhere, rather than only at intersection crosswalks. The speed restriction would be a noticeable decline in top speeds in many cities. This may extend trip times in vehicles.

The technology in self-driving cars will be able to identify when a person is trying to cross a street, and slow down. This could impact the concept of jaywalking.

"The instinctive human act of walking straight to one's destination, pejoratively known as 'jaywalking,' becomes simply 'walking,'" write the authors.

The organization sees the adoption of autonomous vehicles as a chance to rethink how streets function. Under its plan, the big benefactors are those most vulnerable on roads: pedestrians and bicyclists.

When pedestrians want to cross a street, it's not uncommon for them to walk several hundred feet out of their way. This wasn't always the case. A century ago, when cars first emerged, crossing a street mid-block was normal.

Related: How free self-driving rides could change everything

In 1920, the term "jaywalker" was controversial, according Peter D. Norton, author of "In Fighting Traffic: The Dawn of the Motor Age in the American City." It was popularized as a putdown for someone who didn't know how to walk properly in a city. In some cases, Boy Scouts handed out cards to jaywalkers, alerting them of their risky behavior.

In 1925, a law passed in Los Angeles making the move illegal and police arrested some offenders.

Jaywalking is still generally illegal, but not the rule is often not enforced. If streets are occupied by self-driving cars in the future, perhaps the biggest shift in city culture, according to NACTO, would be how easy it would be to cross streets.

But the report warns that the future could also play out differently, depending on city and government policies. Traffic and emissions could skyrocket, and pedestrians could be forced to cross streets on bridges. Current transportation systems could also be replaced by new services that aren't as affordable or accessible.

The Self-Driving Coalition for Safer Streets -- which represents self-driving vehicle companies such as Ford, Uber, Waymo and Volvo -- said in a statement responding to the report that autonomous vehicles should be able to follow the rules of the road, such as speed limits.Individual self-driving car companies declined to comment.

Experts believe self-driving vehicles will significantly change city life, but many details are yet to be worked out. Cities may find themselves weighing tradeoffs, choosing whether to prioritize vehicles, pedestrians and other uses of streets.

"We have a historic opportunity to reclaim the street and to correct the mistakes of a century of urban planning," said Janette Sadik-Khan, NACTO's chair, and the former commissioner of New York City's transportation department, in the report.

Officers responded to the apartment after receiving a call about unsupervised children wandering around outside.

The temperature was 43 degrees when Teed's 2-year-old twins were discovered, police said, adding that the children risked serious injury by wandering outside.

"After hearing from the witnesses, it was very clear the potential for a tragic outcome was there," Adel Police Chief Gordy Shepherd said in a Friday news release. "We are fortunate there were no injuries."

The twins are now with Teed's relatives.

Magistrate Donna Schauer approved an order of protection on Friday, stating that Teed may have "no contact whatsoever" with the two children or the relatives they are staying with.

Teed reportedly told authorities she is unemployed and earned between $600 and $800 over the last year.

The Iowa Department of Human Services has opened its own investigation into Teed, police said.

Texas church massacre: Man hailed a hero for chasing gunman after killings

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
One of the men who said he helped tracked down the Texas church gunman on Sunday is being hailed a hero for potentially preventing more bloodshed after the deadly shooting.

Johnnie Langendorff told Fox San Antonio that he decided to track down the killer after seeing the gunman exchanging fire with a member of the community.

Multiple sources speaking to Fox News identified the gunman as 26-year-old Devin Patrick Kelley. The mass shooting unfolded around 11:30 a.m. at First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs, which is about 30 miles southeast of San Antonio. At least 26 people were killed and 20 wounded.

Langendorff said he arrived at an intersection near the church. He said he witnessed two men exchange fire and recognized one of them from the community.

"The shooter of the church had taken off, fled in his vehicle, the other gentleman came and said we need to pursue him. And that's what I did, I just acted," he told a local TV station Ksat.com.

Following a brief chase, the two caught up with the gunman.

"He got a little bit of a jump on us. We were doing about 95 (mph) down (Route) 539 going around traffic and everything. Eventually he came to a kind of a slowdown and after that we got within just a few feet of him and then he got off the road," he said.

"He just lost control. That is when I put the vehicle in park and I was still on the phone to dispatch (police). The other gentleman jumped out and has his rifle drawn on him. He didn't move after that."

Police arrived within five to seven minutes to the location where the shooter stopped. "We led police to him," he said, according to Ksat.com.

Langendorff said he was not aware at the time of the chase that the shooter had additional weapons in his vehicle and he might have prevented more deaths.

Texas church shooting victims include pastor's daughter, young children

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
At least 26 churchgoers were killed when a gunman opened fire inside First Baptist Church in Texas during Sunday's service.

The victims range in age from 5 to 72, according to authorities. Wilson County Sheriff Joe D. Tackitt Jr. said once the shooting began inside the Southerland Springs, Texas, church, there was likely "no way" for congregants to escape.

Read on to learn more about the victims in Sunday's attack.

Annabelle Pomeroy

Pastor Frank Pomeroy and his wife were out of town Sunday during the attack - but their youngest daughter, Annabelle, attended the service. The 14-year-old was among those killed, according to relatives.

"We lost our 14-year-old daughter today and many friends," Sherri Pomeroy, her mother, told the Associated Press. "Neither of us has made it back into town yet to personally see the devastation. I am at the Charlotte airport trying to get home as soon as I can."

Scott Pomeroy, Annabelle Pomeroy's uncle, posted a tribute to his niece on Facebook.

"Heaven truly gained a real beautiful angel this morning along with many more," he said. "I lost a lot of friends and family this morning but that just means Jesus needed them more."

Since the shooting, Scott Pomeroy has also posted on Facebook numerous Bible verses and words of encouragement.

Bryan Holcombe

As the church service continued Sunday morning, Bryan Holcombe, an associate pastor, was walking up to the podium to lead the congregation in worship when the shooting began, according to the Washington Post. His parents, Joe and Claryce Holcombe, said he was killed in the gunfire.

Several of his family members, including his wife, were also killed in the attack, the parents said.

Bryan Holcombe, who was filling in for the pastor, also did prison ministry and would often bring his ukulele to sing for the inmates, his cousin Nick Uhlig told the Associated Press.

"We knew when he was born, that he was going to be a preacher," Joe Holcombe, his father, told The Washington Post. "His first word was God."

Karla Holcombe

Karla Holcombe, Bryan Holcombe's wife of more than two decades, was also killed in the attack.

A mother and grandmother, Karla Holcombe was described by friends as a generous and loving person. Like her husband, she had also volunteered at prisons and taught Sunday School classes, the Daily Beast reported.

Bryan and Karla Holcombe owned a canvas repair shop in Floresville, Texas, according to the Daily Beast. They also would often post photos of their children and grandchildren on social media.

"They really were loving people," friend Jenna Brown told the Daily Beast. "They were about as close to a true life of Christ as you could get."

Crystal Holcombe

Crystal Holcombe was killed Sunday in church. She was eight months pregnant, according to the Associated Press.

Before loved ones started to post on her Facebook page, frantically searching to see if she survived the massacre, Crystal Holcombe posted about her two daughters, Megan and Emily, who had done well in their 4H club's food challenge. She also posted earlier this month news that her grandfather had passed away.

The Washington Post reported that she homeschooled her children.

John Holcombe, Crystal's husband, shared on Facebook Sunday morning that the Sunday school lesson this week was from Exodus on manna from heaven. Typically, that lesson is about God providing for people's needs.

Facebook users have commented on that public post to express their condolences.

"She doesn't even drink, smoke or nothing," her cousin, Nick Uhlig, told the Associated Press. "She just takes care of kids; she raises goats and makes homemade cheese. That kind of thing, you know? They don't go out dancing or anything like that. They're real old-fashioned, down-to-earth."

Her in-laws, Bryan and Karla Holcombe, were also killed in the attack.
