police say that the UT stabbing suspect likely had mental issues

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Armed with a "bowie-style" hunting knife, witnesses and police say a student "calmly walked around" campus Monday afternoon and randomly stabbed other students.

That student is in custody but hasn't been charged, authorities said.

Two hours after the attack, classes and events were canceled on campus but are expected to resume Tuesday.

What happened?

The first person attacked was one of several students gathered around a popular Austin food truck around 2 p.m. at the plaza outside Gregory Gym, one of the busiest areas on the 431-acre campus.

Rachel Pritchett, a freshman, was in line at the food truck when she heard someone screaming.

"I didn't really process what was happening until he grabbed this guy who was standing right next to me by the shoulder and stabbed him on the back," she told CNN affiliate KEYE.

"While I was running away, I saw this other guy that was kind of bloodied up sitting at a table slumped over. There was someone standing next to him yelling, 'get away!'" she said.

Students leaving their classes also walked upon a gruesome scene.

"Police were resuscitating a victim. Another student had lacerations to their head and was getting help from police," said student Ray Arredondo.

As the attack unfolded, three other students were attacked before police arrived.

"I looked over towards the Gregory Gym area and I just see somebody like passed out on the floor covered in blood," student Bryan Ramirez told CNN affiliate KXAN.

Two students were released from the hospital later Monday.

A chaotic scene

Responding to the 1:49 p.m. call about a stabbing, campus police saw the suspect walking away from a person lying on the ground, campus police chief David Carter said.

When he was confronted by police, the suspect offered no resistance and complied with the officer's order to get on the ground, Carter said.

Witnesses say he had a "nonchalant" look on his face.

Campus, local and state police swarmed to the plaza. They helped the injured and placed yellow-tape barriers as students called their loved ones.

"There are no words to describe my sense of loss," UT President Gregory L. Fenves said in a message sent to students, faculty and staff.

'A great deal of fear on campus'

Authorities do not believe there is an ongoing threat to the campus community but have increased patrols as a precaution.

"Campus safety is our priority and we will investigate this tragic incident to the greatest extent possible," Fenves said.

In another message, Fenves urged students and staff to support the victims and reassured them that there were no ongoing threats on campus.

"There is a great deal of fear on campus and in our community. That fear is very understandable, especially in light of recent vandalism and threats against students," he said.

Monday's attack comes about a year after the slaying of 18-year-old student Haruka Weiser. The theater and dance student was walking home from class when she was strangled and sexually assaulted. Meechaiel Criner is awaiting trial on charges of capital murder in her death.

Weiser's case was UT's first on-campus homicide investigation since 1966.

Concern Growing for Young Missing Oklahoma Mother and Daughter

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
When her daughter Alyssa was pregnant, Kristie Davis was concerned.

"Becoming a teen mom has so many challenges, and I want the world for her. What mother wouldn't be a little worried in the situation?" Kristie asked Dateline.

But once her granddaughter Adalyn came into their world last August, Kristie's doubts about Alyssa faded away.

"Her motherly instincts kicked in right away. She just adores her daughter. Everything was about Adalyn. She'd always do what was best for her. That's why I'm so panicked right now."

Monday marks six days since Alyssa Ross, 15, and Adalyn Ross, 8 months, vanished. Whatever the circumstances are, Kristie is extremely concerned for the safety of her daughter and granddaughter.

"It's a terrifying world out there," Kristie said. "She's so young. Something is very wrong here."

Alyssa and little Adalyn were last seen the morning of April 26, 2017 at their family's home in Yukon, Oklahoma. The teen mother lives with her mother Kristie and has been homeschooling while raising her young daughter.

It was an exciting day. Alyssa was preparing to take Adalyn to get her "monthly" photos done that evening. "She was laying out clothes for the photos. She was really excited," Kristie told Dateline.

Alyssa was Snapchatting with her older sister Kayley that afternoon, but stopped answering messages around 3:30 p.m. Kristie immediately felt something might be amiss when she returned home from work and found their house empty. Usually, Alyssa and Adalyn are playing in Adalyn's room, or taking a nap in Alyssa's when Kristie gets home.

There was no sign of them in the house, though. Alyssa's phone was missing, but the rest of her belongings were in their usual places. It didn't appear any of Adalyn's things were missing, either. Several new boxes of diapers were left in her nursery.

"I immediately began to panic," Kristie said. "She's 15. She's a child herself. She doesn't have a car or drive. I had no idea where she would have gone."

Kristie immediately called authorities, who told Dateline there was no sign of forced entry to the home. Because of some evidence at the scene, officials with the Oklahoma City Police have ruled Alyssa's disappearance as a voluntary runaway. A spokesperson said they do not believe Alyssa and Adalyn are in immediate danger.

There is concern, though, because of Alyssa's age.

"I don't understand why some people don't believe this is so serious," Kristie said. "Alyssa is a child herself. She is just 15. She has a very young daughter with her. She doesn't have any money or her things. Someone is with her, or has her, and they have to be hiding. This is a serious situation."

Adalyn's father does not have custody, but does see her every so often. According to Kristie, authorities spoke with him and his family, who insist they know nothing about Alyssa and Adalyn's disappearance.

Alyssa's friends are equally concerned. The teen made no mention of running away, at least to anyone with whom Kristie has spoken.

Kristie just wants her daughter home safe. She's trying to stay positive and not let her mind wander to a place where her dark thoughts live. It's been a challenge.

"I'm just beside myself. We all are," Kristie told Dateline. "We just need her home. Whoever knows anything, just come forward. If you're scared, it's OK. Just help us bring her home safely."

Alyssa Ross is described as 5'5" tall, weighing 115 lbs. with brown hair and blue eyes. Adalyn Ross is described as 2' tall, weighing roughly 17 lbs. with blue eyes.

Anyone with information regarding their whereabouts is urged to call the Oklahoma City Police Department at (405) 297-1188.

LeBron James is picking up the tab on Dahntay Jones' fine (again)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Dahntay Jones barely even saw the floor against the Toronto Raptors on Monday night, but managed to lose two thirds of his salary when he did.

Well, he would have if not for LeBron James.

The Cleveland Cavaliers added Jones to the roster on the final day of the season, paying him just $9k in proratedsalary.

Jones entered Game 1 against the Raptors with just three minutes left andgot into it with Toronto's Norman Powell, picking up two technicals for trash talkingin the waning moments of the Cavs 116-105 win.

Each technical earns a $3k fine from the NBA and the second resulted in an automatic ejection.

Dahntay Jones made $9,000 from Cavs this season. He just got fined $6,000 for 2 techs and an ejection.

- Brian Windhorst (@WindhorstESPN) May 2, 2017

Cue LeBron:

"I told him tonight, I said, 'Listen, Dahntay, now enough is enough. Stop getting kicked out against Toronto all the time. I'm going to stop paying your damn fines.' But yeah, he don't have to worry about it. He's good."

LeBron said that he'll be taking care of Dahntay Jones' fine, but said too that Jones needs to stop getting ejected against Toronto. pic.twitter.com/esP6DTkEoe

Stop getting kicked out?

That's right.The Cavs also signed Jones to a prorated deal on the final day of the season last year and he managed to get kicked out of a playoff game against Toronto.

LeBron, the league's highest paid player this season, took care of that fine, a whopping $81, too.

Remember that stunt Toyota did a few years ago in which a Tundra towed a space shuttle 12 miles? Well, it seems Porsche decided to do something similar, but with a lot more weight. The company drove a couple of Cayennes, a diesel Cayenne S and a Cayenne Turbo S, from London to the Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris to tow an Airbus A380. For those unfamiliar, the A380 double-decker jet is the largest plane Airbus builds.

At the airport, Porsche towed the plane with both Cayennes. Representatives from Guinness World Records were on hand to record the event, which put Porsche in the record book for the heaviest aircraft towed by a production car. Naturally, Porsche recorded the pull on video for your viewing pleasure. One thing to keep in mind, though, is that it's a very brief pull. Unlike the Tundra, the Cayenne only pulled the plane 42 meters. So it's a heavier load than Toyota's, but not a longer one. Porsche does say it drove both Cayennes back to London after the towing with no issues, so there's at least that.

Los Angeles, Calif. ( KTLA) -- A 3-year-old boy who was struck and killed by a car while walking with his family in a marked crosswalk in San Bernardino was identified Friday.

Michael Flores was walking with his mother, father and siblings in a crosswalk at the intersection of Baseline Street and West Davidson Street when he was struck by a green pickup truck around 5:50 p.m. Thursday, according to the San Bernardino County coroner's office.

Michael's 9-year-old brother Nicola told KTLA how he tried to save his brother but could not reach him in time.

"I was going to try and get in front of Micheal to get him over here but it was too late. They just hit him," said Nicola Flores.

The driver, 34-year-old Crystal Fuentes, was merging into the left-hand turn lane and did not stop for the family, police said. She was arrested at the scene on suspicion of driving under the influence and vehicular manslaughter.

Michael's father told KTLA that 3-year-old was a sweet little boy and the family are devastated by the crash.

"It hurts to have a 9-year-old see his brother leave like that," said Michael's father, Saint Cristin Flores, with tears in his eyes. "He was a wonderful boy. He was the best son out there that a mother and father could ever ask for."

The family was homeless at the time of the incident and found lodging at San Bernardino Salvation Army on Thursday night.

"We did not have space yet, until actually last night, to shelter them," said Major Daniel Henderson, the supervisor of the Salvation Army. "They were on a waiting list."

Michael, who would have turned 4 in June, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to police.

Dozens of Russian deaths cast suspicion on Putin

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A former member of the Russian parliament is gunned down in broad daylight in the Ukrainian capital of Kiev. A longtime Russian ambassador to the United Nations drops dead at work. A Russian-backed commander in the breakaway Ukrainian province of Donetsk is blown up in an elevator. A Russian media executive is found dead in his Washington, D.C., hotel room.

What do they have in common? They are among 38 prominent Russians who are victims of unsolved murders or suspicious deaths since the beginning of 2014, according to a list compiled by USA TODAY and British journalist Sarah Hurst, who has done research in Russia.

The list contains 10 high-profile critics of Russian President Vladimir Putin, seven diplomats, six associates of Kremlin power brokers who had a falling out - often over corruption - and 13 military or political leaders involved in the conflict in eastern Ukraine, including commanders of Russian-backed separatist forces. Two are possibly connected to a dossier alleging connections between President Trump's campaign staff and Kremlin officials that was produced by a former British spy and shared with the FBI.

Twelve were shot, stabbed or beaten to death. Six were blown up. Ten died allegedly of natural causes. One died of mysterious head injuries, one reportedly slipped and hit his head in a public bath, one was hanged in his jail cell, and one died after drinking coffee. The cause of six deaths was reported as unknown.

Putin has long dealt with opponents harshly. Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., said in March that Putin "has murdered his political opponents and rules like an authoritarian dictator."

Yet the list of fatalities - 37 men and one woman - suggests that Putin's alleged attacks on his critics and whistle-blowers are more extensive and lethal than previously known. It also raises new concerns about contacts Putin and his lieutenants had with Trump's campaign staff.

Trump praised Putin in March 2016 as a "strong leader," and in 2015 said "I'd get along great with" the Russian leader. On Feb 6, Trump defended Putin when Bill O'Reilly, then of Fox News, called Putin a killer. "There are a lot of killers," Trump replied. "Do you think our country is so innocent?"

The FBI and Congress are currently investigating contacts between Kremlin officials and Trump's campaign advisers, as part of its investigation into Russia's alleged interference in the 2016 presidential election.

Leahy made his comment about Putin at a congressional hearing that featured Vladimir Kara-Murza, a Russian political activist with personal experience of his government's efforts to silence outspoken critics.

"We've seen political opposition leaders and activists, whistle-blowers, anti-corruption campaigners and independent journalists lose their lives in one way or another," Kara-Murza told USA TODAY. "Sometimes these are suspicious suicides and plane crashes, really rare and horrible diseases. In many others they are straight murders."

Kara-Murza worked with former deputy prime minister and Putin opponent Boris Nemtsov before Nemtsov was gunned down in Moscow in 2015. Kara-Murza worked until recently with Russian anti-corruption lawyer and political candidate Alexei Navalny, who suffered eye injury Thursday after being attacked with a chemical following his release from jail for leading unsanctioned protests against the Putin government across Russia this spring.

"Sometimes there are near-misses," Kara-Murza testified in March before a Senate Appropriations subcommittee.

Kara-Murza said he was the victim of attempted poisonings twice: in May 2015 and this past February.

"Twice in the past two years I have experienced symptoms consistent with poisoning, both times in Moscow," he said in an interview. "Both times, symptoms came on suddenly and out of nowhere. Both times spending weeks in a coma on life support machines. Both times, doctors set my chance of survival at 5%, so I'm very fortunate to be here today. "

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., noted at the hearing the dangers of winding up on the wrong side of politics in Russia. "In our system, if we make a bad decision, we might lose an election and have to work as a paid analyst on TV," he told Kara-Murza. "In your case, people die."

Rubio and other senators had called on Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to meet with members of Russia's political opposition during his April visit to Moscow, but Tillerson did not have time for a meeting, deputy spokesman Mark Toner said.

Most of the older diplomats on the list were probably victims of poor health, said Boris Silberman, a Russia analyst at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies.

"Knowing how diplomats live, going from one cocktail party to the next and not to the gym in between, it finally catches up to you," Silberman said.

That could apply to Vitaly Churkin, 64, the Russian ambassador to the U.N., who died on Feb. 20 in New York of an apparent heart attack. Others, like Petr Polshikov, 56, a chief adviser to the Latin America department at the Russian Foreign Ministry, found dead with a gunshot wound in his Moscow home on Dec. 20, require further investigation, Silberman said.

"There's almost a fever on the Russia story," Silberman said. "Some of it is substantial. It's almost like there's something nefarious behind every piece of news. Sometimes there is. ... They tend to clean up their messes this way."

Many of the recent deaths raise suspicions because a string of Putin critics have died in obvious murders years earlier. They include:

* Nemtsov, who was shot to death while walking after dinner with his girlfriend in a security zone near the Kremlin. Two Chechen suspects, one a former bodyguard to Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, are on trial, but the investigation did not reveal whether anyone ordered the hit.

* Sergei Magnitsky, a Russian tax lawyer who died in prison while investigating the alleged theft of $230 million by Russian government officials. No one was ever charged.

* Alexander Litvinenko, a Russian spy who defected, became a British citizen and was murdered in London in 2006 with radioactive polonium-210 while helping European authorities in a corruption investigation. The "state-sponsored murder" was an effort by the Russian government to send a chilling message to its critics, Peter Clarke, Scotland Yard's former deputy commissioner who led the investigation, told the British Daily Mail on April 17. Two Russian suspects were identified by British authorities, but Russia refused to extradite them, and no one was charged.

* Anna Politkovskaya, an investigative journalist who exposed Russian atrocities during the war in the restive Russian republic of Chechnya. She was gunned down in her Moscow apartment stairway in 2006. Former police officer Dmitry Pavliutchenkov was convicted of ordering surveillance of the journalist but denied killing her. He was sentenced in 2012 to 11 years in prison. Five alleged accomplices were later convicted, including two who were sentenced to life in prison. Pavliutchenkov's promise to identify who ordered the hit never resulted in further charges.

Two of the recent victims, Oleg Erovinkin and Alex Oronov, have been described by Russian analysts as possibly connected to a dossier written by a former British spy about Trump and his campaign staff's alleged collusion with Russian efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election.

Erovinkin, 61, a general in the Russian spy agency and a close associate of a Putin confidant, was found dead in the back of his car on Dec. 26 in Moscow. The cause of death is unknown.

Oronov, 69, a Ukrainian-born businessman in New York, died under unknown circumstances around March 2, according to Andriy Artemenko, a member of Ukraine's parliament. Oronov had arranged a meeting between Trump's lawyer, Michael Cohen; Trump business associate Felix Sater, and Artemenko in January about a peace plan for Ukraine that would benefit Russia. Artemenko alleged that Oronov died because of the peace-plan plot.

The list of recent deaths does not include Matthew Puncher, 46, a British polonium expert in the Litvinenko inquiry, reported to have stabbed himself to death in his home in Oxfordshire after returning from a trip to Russia last May.

Luke Harding chronicled a succession of suspected political murders in his 2016 book, A Very Expensive Poison; the Assassination of Alexander Litvinenko and Putin's War with the West. Former KGB officers and defectors described Soviet-era research into poisons used to kill enemies that continued in post-Soviet Russia, Harding wrote. Some substances are so rare and leave so little trace that death can be easily mistaken for a heart attack.

Journalist Hurst, who helped compile the list of deaths, said the recent uptick appears to be a sign of the growing political pressure on Putin and his cronies. "Putin is at the top of a criminal organization (and) there are all these people who have dirt on him," she said. "It's not surprising he's willing to bump people off."

Kara-Murza, who is still recovering from the alleged poisoning, said he has "absolutely no doubt this was an attempt to kill me because of my political activities in the Russian opposition for the last several years, and more specifically because of my active involvement in the campaign in support of the Magnitsky Act," which calls for U.S. sanctions on Russian officials involved in human rights abuses and corruption.

He plans to push for similar laws in other Western countries, and to return to Russia to continue his activism when he is physically stronger.

Since many of the suspicious deaths are related to government corruption or those who exposed it, Kara-Murza urged Congress to block Russians who stole their nation's wealth from investing in the United States.

"This is not only about money," he said in his Senate testimony. "Much more importantly it is about the message that the U.S. sends to Russia."
