Karolyn Nunnallee had just gotten back from church when she got the news.

Her 10-year-old daughter Patty, was in a bus crash coming back from a church-arranged trip to an amusement park.

"My husband called and asked me where were Patty's dental records. My logical mind knew you don't just ask for dental records if there were survivors," Nunnallee told ABC News.

What she didn't know yet was that the Carrollton bus crash on May 14, 1988, was the deadliest drunk-driving accident in U.S. history. It still holds that record today.

The violent collision on an interstate outside Carrollton, Kentucky, killed 27 people -- 24 of them children -- and injured 34 others.

It spawned an array of new regulations for buses and, perhaps more importantly, raised awareness of the dangers of drunk driving and helped to spur a lowering of the legal threshold for blood-alcohol content across the country.

But now 30 years after the crash, some survivors lament that there weren't still more changes to deter drunk driving.

"I know lives have been saved, but sadly too many have been lost," Nunnallee said.

Among those lost in the years since was the son of a man killed in the Carrollton bus crash. Charlie Kytta died in an auto collision with an impaired driver just as his father, Chuck Kytta, had in the drunk-driving bus accident years before.

Charlie's mother, Janet Kytta Hancock, said her son's death left her with the same feeling as when her husband died.

"It's maddening because it didn't have to happen," Kytta Hancock said.

The Carrollton crash

The crash occurred around 11 p.m. when a drunk driver in a pickup truck was traveling on the wrong side of the interstate and slammed into the oncoming school bus.

Ten-year-old Patty Nunnallee was among the 24 children killed, and Chuck Kytta, one of the chaperones on the trip, was one of three adults who died.

His wife, Janet Kytta Hancock, said she later learned that he had been standing in the stairwell at the front of the bus when the crash happened, and he burned to death.

At first, when she arrived at the First Assembly of God Church that night after receiving a call about a problem with the bus, there were lists of names posted that divided up the passengers into injured and missing. Her husband's name was on the missing list.

Play

"I couldn't figure out why he would be missing. He was an adult, he had a wallet," she said. "The fire was so fast, and it was so hot that Chuck actually burned to death. He didn't die of smoke inhalation. It was horrible. It was just unimaginable."

Don Karol, a senior highway accident investigator with the National Transportation Safety Board, told ABC News that he believes that no one died as a direct result of the collision, but rather from the fire and smoke inhalation in the aftermath.

The truck "hit the bus in the right front, and it was enough to basically damage the suspension, and the whole front end of the bus got pushed rearward ... The fuel tank that is right behind that area got punctured," Karol said.

The bus was filled to capacity, Karol said, with 66 passengers and a driver, and because the front exit was inaccessible due to the crash, all 67 adults and children were trying to get out of the one rear exit.

That one rear exit was partially blocked by coolers that had been pushed toward the back of the bus, which Karol said "exacerbated the problem."

The layout of seats was also a factor, as the bus's "very wide" rows of seats left only left 12 inches for the aisle, Karol said.

Two other safety issues that reared their dangerous heads that night were a lack of guard frames around the fuel tank, which could have prevented it from being punctured in the crash, and the toxic, highly flammable material in the bus seats.

Autopsy reports showed Patty Nunnallee had certain toxins in her system which indicated she was the last one to die, her mother said.

"I was honestly hoping that the immense heat would have killed her instantly," Nunnallee said. "But the autopsy showed that because of the gas in her blood ... she had to have breathed it in and she was the only one" to have such toxins in her system.

The drunk driver

The pickup truck driver, Larry Mahoney, then 34, had a blood-alcohol level of 0.24 percent at the time of the crash, significantly above the 0.10 percent legal limit at the time in Kentucky.

He was convicted of 27 counts of second-degree manslaughter, 16 counts of second-degree assault and 27 counts of wanton endangerment, prompting a sentence of 16 years in prison.

According to a 2003 Cincinnati Enquirer article from the 15th anniversary of the crash, Mahoney was described as a model prisoner and had more than five years taken off his sentence due to good behavior. The paper reported he left Kentucky State Reformatory in September 1999 and has lived a quiet, isolated life ever since, never speaking publicly about the crash.

A call to action

The children and adults on the bus that day either belonged to or were friends of members of the First Assembly of God Church in Radcliff, Kentucky.

The crash rocked the town and reverberated at nearby Fort Knox, as many of the victims, including Patty Nunnallee, came from military families stationed there. A memorial service days after the crash at a football stadium drew thousands of mourners.

Karolyn Nunnallee quickly found activism as a route through her grief.

"I started my work in MADD [Mothers Against Drunk Driving] two weeks after the crash. I just knew I had to do something," she said.

She started working with the group on the state level and continued working with MADD even as she and her family moved across the country. She eventually became a member of the national board and then president of the group from 1998 to 1999.

Change followed

After the Carrollton crash, bus safety standards were heightened and anti-drunk driving initiatives progressed.

School buses now have better-protected fuel tanks; many more exits including emergency exits and windows that double as exits; less flammable seat materials; and wider aisles, Karol from the NTSB said.

The biggest impact though came from "all of the attention that was paid to alcohol-impaired driving," he said. It "spurred legislation, education, and awareness."

The most notable change was the lowering of legal blood-alcohol levels, first on a state-by-state basis, then by 2004, a 0.08 blood-alcohol limit was adopted in all 50 states, according to MADD.

The number of deaths from drunk drivers has fallen sharply, from more than 18,000 alcohol-related driving fatalities in 1988 to more than 10,000 in 2016, according to the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration,

The decreases were not enough for Nunnallee, however, as she remembered having a tinge of regret when her term as MADD president was over in 1999.

"I honestly thought that I, Karolyn Nunnallee, would stop drunk driving. That was my thought," she told ABC News.

"I look back in the last 30 years - 375,000 have been killed in the last 30 years, and if that had happened in a one-time incident our nation would be in a total uproar. We probably would take all the cars off the road," Nunnallee said.

"If it were up to me, they would quit selling alcohol and they wouldn't allow anyone to get behind the wheel with anything [in their system]," she said.

For some, more personal tragedy

Kytta Hancock said that when she lost her husband in the Carrollton crash, "at the time I couldn't imagine what it was like to lose a child."

She and her children, Mandy and Charlie, 11 and 9 years old respectively at the time of their father's death, moved to Oklahoma and carried on with their lives. She remarried, and eventually her children married too.

But 22 years after the Carrollton crash, in 2010, her son, Charlie, was also allegedly killed as he was on his way to work by an impaired driver. The driver later pleaded guilty to manslaughter and was sentenced to 10 years in prison.

"I had lost my husband and that was awful and my husband was somebody's child - I had to tell his mom and his dad that he was dead and it was incredibly hard but it wasn't until what it happened with me years later with Charlie," Kytta Hancock said. "It was that same emotion inside of me, and it was even harder for me because I know it takes years to recover when you lose someone in such a tragic way."

Kytta Hancock said she wants drivers to think more about the people they may be putting at risk.

"I don't think they ever thought that it could happen to them," she said of the driver in the Carrollton crash and the man whose car collided with her son's.

But drivers are not the only ones at fault, as friends need to help stop others from driving impaired, Kytta Hancock said. "We have to intervene when we see it happening," she said.

She echoed Nunnallee, saying that while progress has been made, it's not enough.

"As the years have gone on, I thought that things would really change but there still is a real problem," she said. "It has been 30 years but I don't know that something really horrible like that couldn't happen again."

LEE'S SUMMIT, Mo. - A Lee's Summit couple went on a Colorado ski vacation with their son last week, but had to fly home without him. Now, they're trying to make sure his memory lives on.

"We got there Friday night, and he said he wasn't feeling very well," Jim Flath said. "He went to urgent care on Saturday morning."

Doctors said he had the flu. The next day, 26-year-old James Flath died.

"The official answer we have is that it was respiratory failure due to flu and high altitude sickness," Jim Flath said.

"The shell that we left there was not James," his mother Sue Flath said. "His memory is in our hearts, and it will be forever."

The Flaths came home to write an obituary for their 26-year-old son and suggest a charity for people to make donations in his name. The problem was, they couldn't find a charity they thought fit James just right. So to honor their boy and his budding career in social media, that's where they went.

"With Facebook, it's heartwarming to us to see. Oh my gosh, this movement is taking off," Sue Flath said.

It's a hashtag movement called "Giver 4 Jimmer." The idea: Do something kind, take a photo with a "Giver 4 Jimmer" card, then post it to this Facebook page.

His parents say James always fought for the underdog. They thought this was a fitting tribute, but they needed help with the execution.

"I asked them for help on this and they jumped on it," James Flath said.

He was talking about Annie Slaughter and Katrina Ricke, who worked with James in social media.

"It was really Jim's idea, and we just needed to bring it to life," Slaughter said. "So we kind of split up duties, and she took the cards, and I took the Facebook page."

The page, in four short days, now has hundreds of likes and has seen acts of kindness from around the country.

"He would've loved the fact that we were able to do this for him and use social media in a way to expand who he was and make his memory live on," Ricke said.

"People across the globe are going to receive this kind act and receive this card and think of James. It's kind of incredible to think about," Slaughter said.

The Flaths know the movement won't bring James back, but they said with every post, every kind act, they feel like they get just one more little bit of their son.

"In a really, really sucky situation, hopefully some bright sunshine can come out of it in some spots," Jim Flath said.

A man launched himself over 1,800 feet in the air to prove the earth was flat.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A self-taught rocket scientist who believes the Earth is flat and wants to run for California governor shot himself up about 1,875 feet in the air in his homemade rocket on Saturday.

"Mad" Mike Hughes, a 61-year-old limo driver, promised last year to propel himself up in the air and snap a photo proving that astronauts conspired to fabricate the shape of the planet. The stunt was supposed to be the first phase of the flat-Earth space program and received backing from flat-Earth groups.

"Relieved," the daredevil said after a landing that left him with minor injuries. "I'm tired of people saying I chickened out and didn't build a rocket. I'm tired of that stuff. I manned up and did it."

The rocket launch near Amboy, California - about 200 miles east of Los Angeles - was first scheduled last year, but it was postponed multiple times amid mechanical problems and logistical issues with the Bureau of Land Management.

Despite having some minor technical issues on Saturday, Hughes went ahead and shot himself in the air, reaching around 350 mph before pulling his parachute. He had to deploy a second parachute because he was dropping too fast.

Footage shot shortly after the landing appears to show Hughes disorientated, but conscious. Paramedics shortly got him out of the cockpit and examined him.

"Am I glad I did it? Yeah. I guess. I'll feel it in the morning. I won't be able to get out of bed. At least I can go home and have dinner and see my cats tonight," Hughes said after the stunt.

The daredevil, who said he wants to run for the governorship of California, claims he built the steam-powered rocket out of scrap metal parts in his garage. The project cost around $20,000.

Many mocked Hughes for his plans.

He told a flat-Earth group last year that the project will "shut the doors on this ball Earth," but has since backtracked on the claims that his mission will prove the Earth is flat.

"Do I believe the Earth is shaped like a Frisbee? I believe it is," he said on social media. "Do I know for sure? No. That's why I want to go up in space."

Chicago White Sox welcome back groundskeeper who wrongly spent 23 years in prison

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A man who spent 23 years in prison for a heinous crime he didn't commit was welcomed back to his old job as a groundskeeper with the Chicago White Sox on Monday.

Nevest Coleman's conviction in a 1994 rape and murder was overturned in November after DNA evidence linked the crime to a serial rapist, the Chicago Tribune reported. Coleman was working for the White Sox when he was convicted.

"His first wish, before he wished for a hamburger, was to work for the White Sox," said Coleman's cousin, Richard Coleman. "That's exactly what I told them."

Coleman initially confessed to killing the 20-year-old woman, who was discovered in the basement of a home on Chicago's South Side where Coleman lived, but he later recanted.

Prosecutors initially pushed for Coleman to get the death penalty, according to the Tribune. However, several character witnesses, including three White Sox employees, spoke on Coleman's behalf.

"Glad to see him out. Glad to see him back," said Jerry Powe, who testified on Coleman's behalf as a character witness at his trial and who is now his supervisor. "I'm so happy for him, me and the White Sox."

After his release, Coleman's friends and family reached out to the White Sox organization. Coleman had expressed his desire to return to work once he was released.

The team gave him a job interview and soon welcomed him back to his old job as groundskeeper at Guaranteed Rate Field -- formerly known as Comiskey Park.

"Glad to see him out. Glad to see him back."

In a statement, the Chicago White Sox organization said it was grateful "justice has been carried out" and thrilled to welcome Coleman "back to the White Sox family."

Heineken pulls racist ads

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Heineken said Monday it has pulled an ad with the tagline "Sometimes lighter is better" after critics slammed it as racist.

The ad features a bartender sliding a bottle of Heineken Light to a woman. The bottle travels past several black people before arriving at the paler skinned woman.

The clip came under fire on social media. Hip-hop star Chance The Rapper called it "terribly racist" on Twitter on Sunday evening and other users agreed with him.

"What idiots do they have approving this ad? Fire that person," tweeted Helen Ehrenhofer, who identifies herself as a former communications manager.

Heineken responded late Monday by pulling the ad from TV and the internet.

"While we feel the ad is referencing our Heineken Light beer, and that light beer is better than other high-calorie options -- we missed the mark, are taking the feedback to heart and will use this to influence future campaigns," said Heineken USA spokesman Bjorn Trowery.

The backlash against the ad follows high-profile missteps by other brands over the representation of minorities.

Last year, Pepsi pulled a controversial ad staring Kendall Jenner that was accused of appropriating the Black Lives Matter movement and using social justice to sell soda.

In October, Dove apologized for a Facebook post promoting its body wash that used a 3-second GIF of a black woman removing a dark brown t-shirt to reveal a white woman. It was introduced with the line "Ready for a Dove Shower?"

And in January, H&M set off a huge outcry by using a black child to model a sweatshirt with a "coolest monkey in the jungle" slogan. The retailer apologized and removed the item from its website.

Heineken had previously navigated sensitive issues more successfully.

In the aftermath of the Pepsi ad controversy last year, the beer brand was praised for an ad entitled "Worlds Apart" that addressed gay rights, climate change and feminism.

"For decades, Heineken has developed a positive track record for creating marketing that shows there's more that unites us than divides us," Trowery said Monday.

After 23 years in prison for crime he didn’t commit, man returns to job with White Sox

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
CHICAGO -- A man who spent more than 20 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit is back at work at his old job with the Chicago White Sox.

Nevest Coleman, 49, worked on the White Sox grounds crew in 1994 when he was arrested and imprisoned for a rape and murder in Englewood, despite the lack of any physical evidence.

Last year, after 23 years behind bars, Coleman went free when prosecutors dropped the charges.

He was granted a certificate of innocence this month by a Cook County judge, clearing his name.

Coleman's friends and family reached out to the White Sox after his release. The team offered him a job interview and then welcomed him back to the job. Coleman returned to the baseball field Monday.

The team says they're grateful that "justice has been carried out for Nevest."

Putin is on the trigger of retaliation

Russian President Vladimir Putin is suddenly confronting a Western alliance that's united against him after the unprecedented expulsion of nearly 140 of his diplomats by 24 countries.

While Russia's promising a "tough" response, Putin must also calculate whether to try to salvage ties with U.S. President Donald Trump a week after they agreed in a phone call to hold a summit to discuss ways to avert a new arms race.

Trump's order to expel 60 Russians won rare bipartisan praise in Washington amid continued rancor over alleged Kremlin meddling in the 2016 presidential election, and may help him domestically by showing his independence from Putin. Even so, U.S. Ambassador to Russia Jon Huntsman told Kommersant today that Trump still wants to meet Putin "if we can make progress in our relations."

The Kremlin insists Russia has nothing to do with the nerve-agent poisoning of a former spy in the U.K. that triggered the expulsions. China offered Putin's camp little support, urging both the U.K. and Russia to get their facts straight.

Defying the West helped Putin win landslide re-election this month. As Russian analysts warn that tensions are at Cold War levels, Putin must decide whether to escalate confrontation or seek a way out of the crisis.

Arizona suspends Uber's driverless car testing after deadly accident

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Arizona's governor announced on Monday he was suspending Uber from testing autonomous vehicles in the state a week after a woman was hit and killed by one of the company's driverless cars in Tempe.

Gov. Doug Ducey released a letter he wrote to Uber, referring to the video of the accident released on March 21, saying the Arizona Department of Transportation would be suspending Uber's "ability to test and operate autonomous vehicles on Arizona's public roadways."

"I found the video to be disturbing and alarming, and it raises many questions about the ability of Uber to continue testing in Arizona," Ducey wrote. "As governor, my top priority is public safety.

Eric RisbergAP, FILE

"Improving public safety has always been the emphasis of Arizona's approach to autonomous vehicle testing, and my expectation is that public safety is also the top priority for all who operate this technology in the state of Arizona," he continued.

Uber, which had already suspended operations on its own, said it would "keep a dialogue open" with Arizona.

"We proactively suspended self-driving operations in all cities immediately following the tragic incident last week," the company said in a statement. "We continue to help investigators in any way we can, and we'll keep a dialogue open with the Governor's office to address any concerns they have."

ABC15 Arizona

Elaine Herzberg, 49, was walking her bicycle across an intersection late in the evening of March 18 when she was struck by the autonomous vehicle, police said. She died of her injuries at a local hospital.

It was reportedly the first fatality in the U.S. involving a self-driving vehicle. An investigation into the accident by Uber and law enforcement is ongoing.

There are currently 22 states which have passed laws allowing for the use of autonomous vehicles, in some form, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures, which tracks state laws. Another five state governors have issued executive orders, including Arizona, according to the NCSL.

Ducey signed an executive order initially in 2015 and then updated it just weeks before the accident to bring it further up-to-date with federal laws.

Intel, Waymo and General Motors also test driverless cars in Arizona, according to The Associated Press.

Chicago White Sox groundskeeper who wrongly spent 23 years in jail returns.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A man who spent 23 years in prison for a heinous crime he didn't commit was welcomed back to his old job as a groundskeeper with the Chicago White Sox on Monday.

Nevest Coleman's conviction in a 1994 rape and murder was overturned in November after DNA evidence linked the crime to a serial rapist, the Chicago Tribune reported. Coleman was working for the White Sox when he was convicted.

"Glad to see him out. Glad to see him back," said Jerry Powe, who testified on Coleman's behalf as a character witness at his trial and who is now his supervisor. "I'm so happy for him, me and the White Sox."

After his release, Coleman's friends and family reached out to the White Sox organization. Coleman had expressed his desire to return to work once he was released.

The team gave him a job interview and soon welcomed him back to his old job as groundskeeper at Guaranteed Rate Field -- formerly known as Comiskey Park.

"Glad to see him out. Glad to see him back."

In a statement, the Chicago White Sox organization said it was grateful "justice has been carried out" and thrilled to welcome Coleman "back to the White Sox family."

A man who spent 23 years in prison for a heinous crime he didn't commit was welcomed back to his old job as a groundskeeper with the Chicago White Sox on Monday. Nevest Coleman's conviction in a 1994 rape and murder was overturned in November after DNA evidence linked the crime to a serial rapist, the Chicago Tribune reported.

New discoveries involving King Tutankhamen reveal that he may have been a soldier, not just a crippled boy.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
King Tutankhamun may have been a boy soldier, stunning new research claims, challenging the theory that the King was a weak and sickly youth before his mysterious death at around 18 years of age.

Analysis of leather armor found in the boy king's tomb could indicate that he even have seen battle, according to a documentary that aired recently on Channel 5 in the UK. Experts used specialized photography to identify signs of wear and tear on the 3,000-year-old armor.

"It was possible to see abrasion along the edges of the leather scales, meaning that the armor had seen considerable use. That suggests that Tutankhamun had worn it, and that perhaps he had even seen battle," said Lucy Skinner, an expert on ancient Egyptian leather at the U.K.'s University of Northampton, who took part in the documentary.
IS THIS THE FACE OF TUTANKHAMUN?
Previous research has suggested that the boy king struggled with health issues. In 2014, a BBC documentary harnessed 2,000 Computerized Tomography (CT) scans of the pharaoh's mummified body, to create a full size computer-generated image of Tutankhamun. The virtual autopsy revealed that Tutankhamun suffered from a genetic bone wasting disease and a club foot, making him unable to walk unaided.

Another theory suggests that Tutankhamun, who is said to have reigned between 1332 and 1323 B.C., died in a chariot crash.

Analysis of the armor, however, could shed new light on the ancient pharaoh. The remains of the tunic-like garment, known as a cuirass, are held in the new Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo.

A new technique called Reflectance Transformation Imaging was used to merge several images of the object photographed under different lighting angles, according to the University of Northampton. This enabled Skinner to see features on the armor for the first time, revealing that the garment was well worn.

"If this is true, it would be an amazing revelation, countering the idea that Tut was a weak and sickly boy-king," Skinner said, in the statement. The University of Northampton notes that, despite being excavated almost 100 years ago, it remains a mystery how the overlapping leather scales used in the armor were made, or whether it even had a military use.
KING TUT'S DAGGER IS 'OUT OF THIS WORLD'
The pharaoh's tomb, which was full of spectacular artifacts, was discovered by British archaeologist Howard Carter in 1922. The cuirass suffered damage during the excavation, likely while being removed from its original box and when an attempt was made to unfold it.

While only a small part of the armor remains, experts are hopeful that they can find out more about the garment.

"I have been working on some experimental tanning to create replicas of the individual scales," Skinner said. "The ancient methods used for making this type of leather are not really well understood. Materials will invariably change chemically and physically after being buried for thousands of years, so there are a lot of complicated scientific processes involved in finding these things out."

She wants to help find funding for a replica of the armor.
MYSTERY OF 'SCREAMING EGYPTIAN MUMMY' WHICH HAS BAFFLED ARCHAEOLOGISTS FOR YEARS FINALLY RESOLVED
"It would be great if my experimental work in Northampton helped my Egyptian colleagues to make an accurate reconstruction for display alongside the fragments of the original," Skinner explained.

Ancient Egypt continues to reveal its secrets. Experts in the U.K., for example, recently found the world's oldest figurative tattoos on two ancient Egyptian mummies, one of which is the oldest tattooed female ever discovered.

Other recent finds include an ancient cemetery in Egypt with more than 40 mummies and a necklace containing a "message from the afterlife." An ancient statue of a Nubian king with an inscription written in Egyptian hieroglyphics was also found at a Nile River temple in Sudan.

Scientists also believe that they may have found the secret of the Great Pyramid's near-perfect alignment. Experts are also confident that they have solved the long-standing mystery of the "screaming mummy."
DESERT DISCOVERY: LOST TEMPLE OF RAMSES II UNCOVERED BY ARCHAEOLOGISTS
In February, archaeologists announced the discovery of a 4,400-year-old tomb near the pyramids. Late last year, archaeologists also revealed that they had uncovered the graves of four children at an ancient site in Egypt.

Linda Brown from Topeka, most famous for her impact in the Brown v. Board of Education case, has passed away at age 76. This case allowed for segregation in schools to be banned.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Linda Brown, the namesake of the landmark 1954 Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court case that abolished school segregation, has passed away at age 76.

Cheryl Brown Henderson, Brown's sister, confirmed her death.

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People expressed its condolences, tweeting, "RIP A hero for our nation!"

Brown's legacy of activism began in 1951 when she was in the third grade.

Because of segregation in her Topeka, Kansas, school district, Brown was forced to travel by foot and by bus to a school significantly out of the way.

The school district maintained four elementary schools for black children, compared with the 18 available for white children.

Her father, Oliver Brown, attempted to enroll her in Sumner Elementary School, which was a few blocks away from their home and all-white at the time.

At the request of the NAACP, Brown's father and 12 other families similarly tried to enroll their children in all-white schools, expecting to be unsuccessful.

They were, and that gave the NAACP the leverage to file a lawsuit, led by future Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall.

Because Brown was the first name alphabetically on the plaintiff's list, the case was dubbed Brown v. Board of Education.

The U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled that segregated schools violated the 14th Amendment's equal protection clause.

Long after her successful court case, responsible for dismantling "separate but equal," Brown continued to be a voice for school desegregation in Topeka.

In 1979, Brown reopened another school-segregation case that led to the desegregation of Topeka Unified School District 501 in 1993.

The Governor of Kansas, Jeff Colyer tweeted: "64 years ago a young girl from Topeka brought a case that ended segregation in public schools in America. Linda Brown's life reminds us that sometimes the most unlikely people can have an incredible impact and that by serving our community we can truly change the world."

Texas man who allegedly had weapons stockpile in Boston area hotel.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A Texas man who was arrested Sunday after police said they found a weapons stockpile that included an AK-47, AR-15 and bump stock in his hotel room told investigators that he was on a classified government mission, The Lowell Sun reported.

Francho S. Bradley, 59, and Adrianne D. Jennings, 40, were taken into custody after Bradley called police to the hotel room to report that someone was breaking in. Police responded and found the weapons, the report said.

Bradley called the police while away from the room and informed authorities that he had a firearm in his hotel room.

Tewksbury police noticed rifles and said they later found smoke grenades, walkie talkies, cell phones and dozens of rounds of ammunition. Some of the weapons were reportedly recovered in a nearby vehicle.

Bradley reportedly told investigators about the secret government mission but refused to go into detail. The couple had allegedly driven from Texas to Massachusetts with the weapons.

The report said the couple faces eight counts of possession of a large capacity firearm, three counts of possession of a silencer and other charges including possession of a firearm without a license and possession of a bump stock.

The two are being held without bail after being arraigned Monday in Lowell District Court in connection with a large seizure of weapons.

Robert Normandin, who represented Bradley at the arraignment Monday, told the paper that his client is a veteran and the weapon accessories were "props" and not actually functional. Normandin reportedly said his client uses them as he conducts business.

Authorities are investigating why the couple was staying at the Marriott Residence Inn in Tewksbury, Mass.
