One school district in Indiana is beginning to use food that wasn't bought during the lunch period as take-home meals for students in need. Now 20 at-risk students will be given 8 meals to take home over the weekend.

One school district has come up with a simple, yet effective solution for simultaneously tackling both student hunger and food waste.

The Elkhart School District of Indiana has started salvaging their wasted food so they can package it up for their students to take home on the weekend.

Many students depend on the free breakfasts and lunches that are provided by the school as their main source of food - so when there is no school on the weekend, many of those students have nothing to eat at home.

School administrators then noticed how much of their cafeteria food was going straight into the garbage.

So as a means of helping to feed their students over the weekends, the district partnered with food rescue group Cultivate to collect, package, and freeze all of their unused food from school lunches.

Now every Friday for the rest of the school year, 20 at-risk students from Woodland Elementary School will be given a backpack containing eight frozen meals for their weekend at home.

"It's making a big impact," Melissa Ramey from Chamber Leadership Academy told WSBT. "I am proud of that. It was heartbreaking to hear that children go home on the weekends and that they don't have anything to eat."

Former UFC champion Conor McGregor might have announced his retirement from the sport last week, but that hasn't kept him from lobbing insults at a former competitor in the Octagon.

On Tuesday night, McGregor took shots at the wife of his last opponent, Khabib Nurmagomedov, on Twitter, saying, "Your wife is a towel mate," while posting two photos of Nurmagomedov and his wife on their wedding day. In the pictures, Nurmagomedov's wife's face is veiled.

He later deleted the tweet, which was captured by MMA Junkie on Tuesday night.

Khabib Nurmagomedov defeated Conor McGregor in October, defending his UFC lightweight title. Both fighters received multi-month suspensions for a postfight brawl.

Conor McGregor reportedly has been accused of sexually assaulting a woman in December at a Dublin hotel.

Nurmagomedov, who has made a concerted effort to keep his wife's identity private throughout his career, fired back on Wednesday via Twitter calling McGregor a "rapist" and a "hypocrite," likely in reference to the fact that McGregor is reportedly being investigated for an alleged sexual assault in December in his native Ireland, according to The New York Times. In January, McGregor was arrested and released after being questioned in the matter but has not been formally charged with a crime.

The online beef didn't go unnoticed by UFC president Dana White who, in a statement issued Wednesday, called the exchange "unacceptable."

"I am aware of the recent social media exchange between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor," White said. "The ongoing situation has escalated to a level that is unacceptable. As such, we are taking the necessary steps to reach out to both athlete camps and this situation is being addressed by all parties internally."

McGregor also took a shot at Nurmagomedov himself, saying he might be afraid of a rematch. Of course, McGregor is the one who is retired -- although many around the UFC have stated in the past few days they don't believe McGregor's retirement is actually going to stick.

McGregor took to Twitter again Wednesday night, expressing his desire to "move forward, with my fans of all faiths and all backgrounds."

I want to move forward, with my fans of all faiths and all backgrounds.
All faiths challenge us to be our best selves.
It is one world and one for all ❤️
Now see you in the Octagon.
- Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) April 4, 2019

McGregor and Nurmagomedov fought at UFC 229 in October -- a fight Nurmagomedov won by fourth-round submission -- and then engaged in a brawl after the fight that left both fighters suspended and fined. McGregor's suspension will expire on Saturday. Nurmagomedov's suspension runs through Oct. 6.

McGregor's social media posts led lightweight contender Tony Ferguson to jump into the fray, telling McGregor in a tweet, "You talk to much kiddo. Shhh."

Earlier in the day, Nurmagomedov was speaking at a university in Moscow and said, "I don't think he's finished," referring to McGregor and his retirement. As part of that speech, a local reporter in Moscow tweeted that Nurmagomedov also compared McGregor and his retirement to "a jealous wife who says I will leave the whole time but then comes back."

And then later that night, McGregor apparently responded by taking a shot at Nurmagomedov's wife instead.

The bad blood between McGregor and Nurmagomedov dates back to last April when McGregor launched an attack on a UFC bus which was transporting Nurmagomedov, several other fighters and employees of the promotion. McGregor was caught on video throwing a metal dolly into the window of a bus at the loading docks at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Two fighters -- Michael Chiesa and Ray Borg -- suffered minor injuries as a result of the attack. McGregor was later arrested for his actions and pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge. He received no jail time but served community service for his transgressions.

In addition to the sexual assault investigation in Ireland, McGregor is also facing a civil lawsuit in Florida after being charged with stealing the cellphone of someone who was trying to take his photo.

Lori Laughlin finally appeared at court for the first time and plead guilty for paying money to get her daughter into college.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Hollywood actresses Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin made their first formal appearances Wednesday in Boston federal court along with ten other parents charged in the massive college entrance scandal in which prosecutors say they allegedly lied and bribed to get their children into elite schools across the country.

While there was no red carpet, there were plenty of paparazzi photographers, news cameras and even fans there to greet them as they made their way in and out of U.S. District Court.

In a camel-colored pantsuit, grey shirt and dark-rimmed eyeglasses, Loughlin, 54, smiled and waved at a group of fans as she and her husband, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, dressed in a dark suit and green tie, got out of a black van in front of the courthouse with their team of lawyers.

"Hi guys," Loughlin said to a group of fans, who yelled back, "We love you!"

As she entered the courtroom, Loughlin shook hands with prosecutors before she and her husband, who is also charged in the case, took seats in front of Magistrate Judge M. Page Kelley.

When her case was called, Loughlin and Giannulli listened as the charges of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud were formerly read against them.

When asked by Kelley, if she understood the charges, Loughlin affirmed, "Yes, your honor." Loughlin and Giannulli left the court without entering pleas. They did not speak to reporters.

Huffman, 56, wore a black pantsuit and emerald blouse as she sat in court with her brother. She also answered, "Yes, your honor," when asked if she understood her rights and the charges of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud.

Her husband, actor William H. Macy, who has not been charged in the federal probe, did not attend the hearing.

Huffman and Loughlin are the highest profile defendants indicted in the investigation dubbed by the feds as "Operation Varsity Blues."

They are among 35 parents charged in the scam allegedly masterminded by William Singer, owner of a college counseling service and a sham charity called Key Worldwide Foundation. Singer allegedly accepted bribes totaling $25 million from parents between 2011 and 2018 "to guarantee their children's admission to elite schools," including Yale University, the University of Southern California, UCLA, Georgetown, Stanford, the University of Texas, Wake Forest and the University of San Diego, federal prosecutors said.

Singer of Newport Beach, California, pleaded guilty in a Boston federal court last month to charges of racketeering conspiracy, money laundering conspiracy, conspiracy to defraud the United States and obstruction of justice.

Loughlin and Giannulli "agreed to pay bribes totaling $500,000 in exchange for having their two daughters designated as recruits to the USC crew team -- despite the fact that they did not participate in crew -- thereby facilitating their admission to USC," according to the indictment unsealed on March 13. The couple allegedly submitted fake athletic profiles, including "action" photos of their daughters on rowing machines, the indictment alleges.

They allegedly paid $50,000 to USC's associate athletic director, Donna Heinel, to get her to "recruit" their oldest daughter Isabella as a coxswain. After Isabella was accepted, Giannulli allegedly wired another $200,000 to Singer's bogus charity, the indictment alleges.

Heinel pleaded not guilty to racketeering conspiracy last month and her attorney said she is looking forward to "reviewing the government's evidence and fully restoring Donna's reputation in the college athletic community."

Loughlin and Giannulli allegedly followed the same scheme for their youngest daughter, according to the indictment. That daughter goes by the name Olivia Jade, and was a social media influencer who before the scandal erupted had endorsement deals from companies like Sephora.

Huffman -- famous for her Academy Award-nominated role in "Transamerica" and for playing one of the main characters in the television show "Desperate Housewives" -- allegedly gave $15,000 to Singer's bogus charity "to participate in the college entrance exam cheating scheme on behalf of their oldest daughter," court documents allege.

"Huffman later made arrangements to pursue the scheme a second time, for her younger daughter, before deciding not to do so," court documents allege.

Also appearing in Boston federal court Wednesday was Gordon Caplan, who was put on leave from his job as co-chairman of the international law firm Willkie Farr & Gallagher when he was charged. He's accused of paying $75,000 to rig his daughter's ACT college entrance exam despite allegedly saying on a recorded phone call he "worried about the moral issue," according to court documents.

Manuel Henriquez, 55, who stepped down as CEO of a Northern California hedge fund, also appeared in court with his wife, Elizabeth, 56. The couple allegedly paid Singer to help their two daughters cheat on their standardized tests, according to the indictment.

The couple also allegedly paid $400,000 to Singer's charity to bribe Georgetown's tennis coach Gordon Ernst to designate their older daughter as a tennis recruit. Ernst, 52, who is accused of accepting $2.7 million in bribes to designate at least 12 applicants as recruits to Georgetown, has pleaded not guilty.

Also appearing in court were the latest parents to be charged in the case, Dr. Gregory Colburn and his wife, Amy. The Colburns both waived a formal reading of the indictment and pleaded not guilty to counts of mail and wire fraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering. Amy Colburn stood with her hands clasped in front of her during the arraignment.

The Colburns allegedly participated in the alleged college entrance cheating scheme on behalf of their son. The couple allegedly transferred stock worth $24,443.50 to Singer's charity and wrote a check for $547.45, according to the indictment. In addition to the wire fraud charges facing the other parents, the Colburns were indicted on money laundering charges last week.

The Colburns' attorneys released a statement to ABC News saying, "The Colburns are innocent of these charges, and they completely deny the allegations in the indictment."

Bruce Isackson, 61, president of a real estate development firm in California, and his wife, Davina, 55; and Toby MacFarlane, 56, a former senior executive at a title insurance company, also appeared in court.

Court documents allege that the Isacksons transferred 2,150 shares of Facebook stock -- with a value of about $251,249 at the time -- to Singer's bogus charity in an effort to get their daughter into college as a soccer recruit using falsified athletic profiles, according to court documents.

Court documents allege that McFarlane paid thousands to get his daughter into USC as a soccer recruit and, later, gave $200,000 to Singer's charity to get his son in as a basketball recruit. His daughter graduated from USC in 2018, but "did not play soccer at USC", according to court documents. His son attended USC briefly but dropped out without ever playing basketball.

Homayoun Zadeh, 57, a professor of dentistry at USC, also appeared in court. Zadeh is accused in court documents of having conspired to bribe Heinel, the former USC senior associate athletic director, "to designate his daughter as a lacrosse recruit -- despite the fact that she did not play lacrosse competitively -- thereby facilitating her admission to USC," court documents allege.

Indicted parents Jane Buckingham, Peter Jan "P.J." Sartorio and John B. Wilson were initially scheduled to be in court on Wednesday, but their hearings were postponed until later this month.

Sartorio's lawyer filed a motion to delay his hearing on grounds "that he intends to plead guilty."

Sartorio, 53, of California, founder and CEO of a natural and organic food company, allegedly paid Singer $15,000 in cash in or about June 2017 to have somoene "correct" the answers to his daughter's ACT entrance exam, according to court records.

They stayed like that for over an hour blocking traffic and making it difficult for other cars to pass them. neither was going to give in but then the parking spot in front of the original one was vacated and both cars were able to park. then it was too awkward to get out so both drivers sat in their car for a long while.

8 games into the regular season, the AAF decided to suspend all operations. This is the first season of the AAF. They had to cancel operations after not having the funds to pay its players. The AAF was planning on using NFL practice squads to boost their careers but could not get the NFL to allow it.

After eight weeks of games and less than one season into Alliance of American Football's existence, league owner Tom Dundon has decided to suspend all operations, league co-founder Bill Polian confirmed to ESPN's Chris Mortensen on Tuesday.

"I am extremely disappointed to learn Tom Dundon has decided to suspend all football operations of the Alliance of American Football," Polian said in a statement Tuesday. "When Mr. Dundon took over, it was the belief of my co-founder, Charlie Ebersol, and myself that we would finish the season, pay our creditors, and make the necessary adjustments to move forward in a manner that made economic sense for all.

"The momentum generated by our players, coaches and football staff had us well positioned for future success. Regrettably, we will not have that opportunity."

The league had been struggling from the outset. After the first week of the season, Dundon -- owner of the NHL's Carolina Hurricanes -- pledged a $250 million investment and essentially took command of the AAF.

The league shot down reports that it needed the money to stay afloat. Instead, sources told ESPN at the time that there was an issue with the payroll company the league was using.

"I sincerely regret that many that believed in this project will see their hopes and efforts unrewarded," Polian said in his statement Tuesday. "They gave their best for which I am deeply grateful. Unfortunately, Mr. Dundon has elected this course of action."

Employees were notified of the decision in a letter from the AAF board on Tuesday afternoon, according to The Associated Press.

The letter, obtained by The Associated Press, gave no reason for ending the inaugural season, only that the decision was made "after careful consideration." It also said a small staff would remain to seek new investment capital and "restructure our business. Should those efforts prove successful, we look forward to working with many of you on season two."

Players are being forced to pay for their own travel back home, a source told ESPN, confirming an SI.com report.

Despite a litany of issues, ratings had remained fairly consistent for the league, with between 400,000 and 500,000 viewers often tuning in for games, according to ratings reports. And the league got a bump in attention after Johnny Manziel signed last month and was allocated to Memphis.

Manziel offered some advice to AAF players on Twitter with Tuesday's news.

If you're an AAF player and the league does dissolve. The last check you got will be the last one that you get. No lawsuit or anything else will get you your bread. Save your money and keep your head up. It's the only choice at this point unless something drastic happens.
- Johnny Manziel (@JManziel2) April 2, 2019

Just the reality of this unfortunate situation.. great concept, good football on the field and fun for fans to watch. Just not enough money to go around which has been the main problem with "other" leagues for a long time.
- Johnny Manziel (@JManziel2) April 2, 2019

The league signed all players to three-year, non-guaranteed contracts worth $70,000 in the first year, $80,000 in the second year and $100,000 in the third year. The hope, Polian said, was that the league would send players to the NFL.

In his statement Tuesday, Polian said he'll do "all I can" to help the league's players achieve that.

"My thanks go out to all who made our football product so competitive and professional," Polian said. "I am certain there are many among them destined for future success in the NFL and I look forward to doing all I can to help them in their quest."

Ebersol told ESPN in January that they had structured the league around a "sober business plan" because he believed he had learned lessons from his father, Dick Ebersol, who helped run the first version of the XFL.

Problems, however, popped up surrounding the nascent league that was trying to be a complement to the NFL.

Due to insurance issues, the Orlando Apollos had to move their practices three hours away to Kingsland, Georgia.

Orlando coach Steve Spurrier, whose team leads the league with a 7-1 record, told reporters Tuesday that it was "sad to end this way."

"We're all disappointed, but on the other side, we got to be the champs, right?" Spurrier told reporters. "We're 7-1 and the next teams are 5-3. Some of us didn't get into the Alliance to advance our careers, but the players ... I'm more disappointed for all the players that believe, 'This is my chance to show people this, that and the other that I can play this game.'

"And a lot of them will get opportunities. They've shown enough."

As for his future, Spurrier said to The State: "If I never coach again, I went out a winner. ... But for the players and the assistant coaches, it's a bummer."

Additionally, the league and Charlie Ebersol were sued by Robert Vanech, with Vanech claiming Ebersol cut him out of the idea for the league and then denied him credit. As part of the civil suit, Vanech released a document that appeared to be a business plan for the league -- including wanting to approach Vince McMahon for usage of the XFL name.

Instead, McMahon decided to restart his own league; it is scheduled to launch next year.

The AAF last month also moved its title game from Las Vegas to Frisco, Texas. UNLV, which owns Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas, told ESPN after a public records request, "There was no signed agreement between UNLV and the Alliance of American Football/Legendary Field Exhibitions, LLC." The game was expected to be played there, though, as Sam Boyd Stadium had been selling tickets on its website as late as the day it was announced the game would be moving.

Even back in training camp, the league wouldn't allow independent reporters to view preseason games in San Antonio.

The AAF also had intriguing rule changes, including a mic'd-up replay official and eliminating kickoffs and extra points. The AAF eliminated the onside kick and instead created a fourth-and-12 scenario in which if a team converted, it would keep the ball. A variation of it was proposed during last week's NFL owners meetings but did not get approved.

Over the past two weeks, though, reports surfaced of the league trying to work with the NFL Players Association on allowing practice squad players with futures contracts to participate in the AAF. Dundon had told USA Today last week that if the league was unable to work out an agreement with the NFLPA to share players, options then would include "discontinuing the league."

The league's on-field officials have only been told that play is off for Week 9, with Week 10 still to be determined, according to an email obtained by ESPN's Josh Weinfuss. The email alerts officials that they should be expected to be paid for Weeks 7 and 8, while travel fees for Weeks 9 and 10 are being "worked on."

One of the more attractive things about the league was the technology it developed with its app. It allowed for faster real-time technology to reach consumers and also tracked multiple biometric data points. The hope was that other leagues would see the technology and express interest in using it.

"I think what we're building on the tech side will change sports," Ebersol said in January. "If this company has a chance to survive, if the football is good enough that this has a runway where people are engaged, it will change sports."

At the time, Ebersol said he viewed his business as "a tech company that owns a football league."

Sportsbooks across the United States took down odds to win the AAF title game after hearing of the announcement.

Multiple books confirmed to ESPN that they will refund all wagers on futures bets, including those on the Memphis Express and Atlanta Legends -- teams that had already been eliminated from postseason contention.

The Orlando Apollos were -110 favorites to win the AAF title at the SuperBook at the Westgate Las Vegas before odds were taken down Tuesday.

A teen is claiming to be Timmothy Pitzen, a 6 year old who went missing in 2011. The teen said he just escaped his two kidnappers who had been holding him for 7 years. They have not confirmed that the teen is Timmothy Pitzen yet.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A teen has told authorities that he is Timmothy Pitzen, the 6-year-old boy who went missing in 2011 after his mother died by suicide, according to a police report.

Timmothy, who is from Aurora, Illinois, was last seen on May 12, 2011, with his mother at a water park in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin, according to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Officers from the Sharonville Police Department in Ohio were asked to check a local Red Roof Inn Wednesday morning after they were contacted by dispatchers in Campbell County, Kentucky, who stated that a 14-year-old claimed he "had just escaped from two kidnappers" who had been holding him for seven years, according to a police report obtained by ABC News.

According to the Sharonville police report, the teen told Campbell County authorities that his name was Timmothy Pitzen and that he and his alleged kidnappers had been staying at a Red Roof Inn, but that he "had no idea where." The Campbell County Sheriff's Office then contacted other nearby law enforcement agencies after it already searched all of the Red Roof Inns in its jurisdiction, according to the report.

"Apparently, Timmothy had just escaped and kept running across a bridge into KY," the report states.

(Aurora Police Department via Center for Missing and Exploited Children) An age-progressed image shows what Timmothy Pitzen, who was last seen at a water park Dells, Wisconsin, on May 12, 2011, would look like today at 13 years old.

The Red Roof Inn the boy claiming to be Timmothy was staying at was near Cincinnati and north Kentucky, ABC Cincinnati affiliate WCPO reported.

The boy described his two kidnappers to police as white, male and with a "body-builder type build," the police report states. One of the men has black curly hair and a spider web tattoo on his neck and was wearing a shirt with a Mountain Dew logo and jeans, and the other was short and has a snake tattoo on his arm, according to the report. They were driving a newer model Ford SUV with Wisconsin plates, "yellow transfer paint" and a dent on the back bumper, according to the boy.

On May 11, 2011, Timmothy's mother, Amy Fry-Pitzen, had checked him out of his elementary school for a three-day vacation that also included the Brookfield Zoo in Illinois, the Chicago Tribune reported.

Fry-Pitzen, who was suffering from depression and going through an unhappy marriage at the time, was found dead from suicide on May 14, 2011, inside a motel room in Rockford, Illinois, according to the Tribune. She allegedly left behind a note saying Timmothy was safe with people who were caring for him, but would never be found, the newspaper reported.

Surveillance video released by the Aurora Police Department in 2012 showed him and his mother at the Kalahari Resort in Wisconsin Dells. Fry-Pitzen was later seen on surveillance video entering and leaving Sullivan's Foods in Winnebago, Illinois, around 8 p.m. on May 13 without Timmothy, according to the Aurora Police Department.

Several law enforcement agencies, including the FBI and Cincinnati Police Department, assisted in the investigation. Law enforcement agencies have not yet released confirmation that the boy who turned up today is Timmothy Pitzen, but the FBI confirmed in a statement that it was conducting a missing child investigation.

A DNA test to confirm if the teen is Timmothy will take about 24 hours, WCPO reported, citing the Aurora Police Department. He is currently being medically treated, the local station reported.

Timmothy's disappearance captured national attention. In January, his case was featured in the Amazon reality series "Fireball Run," and in August, he was featured on A&E crime show "Live PD." His case was also featured on "Crime Watch Daily" in 2017.

Days after his disappearance, Timmothy's father, Jim Pitzen, told ABC News that he was convinced his son was still alive.

"He's out there somewhere and I know he's okay. I just want him to come home to his family," Jim Pitzen said.

Timmothy's grandmother, Alana Anderson, who lives in the suburbs of Chicago, told ABC Chicago station WLS that she is aware of reports that her grandson has been found and is "cautiously hopeful" that it is Timmothy.

"I'm very hopeful that it's him and that he's ok and he's been in a good place when he was gone and he's gonna come back to us," Anderson said.

When asked what her message to Timmothy would be, Anderson replied, "That we've never stopped looking for him, thinking about him, and that we love him and will do anything to get him back to a good life."

The search continues for the 35 year-old American woman Kimberly Sue Endicott that was kidnapped in Uganda. The woman was kidnapped at gunpoint along with her tour guide at a National park. The kidnappers used her cell phone to demand 500,000 dollars ransom. They were there on a big game hunt and were joined by a Canadian couple but the couple was left behind unharmed.

Ugandan authorities on Thursday continued a desperate search for American tourist Kimberly Sue Endicott and her safari guide who were allegedly abducted at the country's most popular national park by gunmen demanding ransom.

A public information officer for the Uganda Police Force told ABC News that police have "widened the search area" beyond the Queen Elizabeth National Park and into the southwest districts of Kanungu and Rukungiri, which together have a total population of more than half a million people. Police now believe the armed kidnappers are no longer inside the park but still in the country, the officer said.

"That's why we've moved further out of the park into the other areas outside the park and into the two neighboring districts," the officer told ABC News.

Authorities have tried to block key crossing points into other nearby districts as well as the country's western border, which it shares with the Democratic Republic of the Congo. They are hopeful the kidnappers are trapped within the expanded search area, the officer said.

Endicott, 35, was on an evening game drive with an elderly Canadian couple and their guide in the park's southern Ishasha section on Tuesday when they were allegedly ambushed by four unidentified gunmen dressed in military uniforms at dusk. The gunmen apparently held the group at gunpoint before snatching the keys to their safari vehicle and fleeing with Endicott as well as the guide, identified as Congolese national Jean-Paul Mirenge Remezo, according to police.

The Canadian tourists were left behind and contacted the camp manager who brought them back to the wilderness compound to safety, according to police.

The kidnappers used one of the victim's mobile phones to demand $500,000 as ransom, which police said they believe is the motive behind the abduction.

A joint operation by police, armed forces and wildlife authorities to locate and rescue them has been underway since.

Located in southwest Uganda, along the border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Queen Elizabeth National Park is one of the country's most popular tourist destinations and boasts luxury wildnerness camps. Tourists visiting the park are sometimes accompanied by armed rangers.

"We have ranger guides who are usually armed and that's one of the reasons why we have guns anyway," Uganda Wildlife Authority spokesperson Bashir Hangi told NTV Uganda. "To protect our visitors, not only against wildlife but also against illegal armed entrants."

The kidnapped tour guide works for Wild Frontiers Uganda, which has been operating safaris in the East African nation since 1996, according to a company spokesperson, who confirmed to ABC News that Endicott was one of three guests on Tuesday's excursion. The group was not accompanied by an armed ranger in the park at the time and there is no requirement to do so, the spokesperson said.

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, after meeting with the Democratic Republic of the Congo's newly-elected president in Washington, ignored a question from reporters on Wednesday about the kidnapping.

A spokesperson for the U.S. Department of State told ABC News, "We are aware of reports of a U.S. citizen kidnapped in Uganda. Security forces are responding to the incident. We take seriously any threats against U.S. citizens abroad. The safety and protection of U.S. citizens overseas are among our top priorities. We have no further information to offer at this time."

A 13 year old boy is claiming to be a kid named Timmothy Pitzen, a 6 year old boy who went missing in 2011. He has given descriptions about everything that has happened in the last 7 or so years and about the kidnappers and their cars.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A teen has told authorities that he is Timmothy Pitzen, the 6-year-old boy who went missing in 2011 after his mother died by suicide, according to a police report.

Timmothy, who is from Aurora, Illinois, was last seen on May 12, 2011, with his mother at a water park in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin, according to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Officers from the Sharonville Police Department in Ohio were asked to check a local Red Roof Inn Wednesday morning after they were contacted by dispatchers in Campbell County, Kentucky, who stated that a 14-year-old claimed he "had just escaped from two kidnappers" who had been holding him for seven years, according to a police report obtained by ABC News.

According to the Sharonville police report, the teen told Campbell County authorities that his name was Timmothy Pitzen and that he and his alleged kidnappers had been staying at a Red Roof Inn, but that he "had no idea where." The Campbell County Sheriff's Office then contacted other nearby law enforcement agencies after it already searched all of the Red Roof Inns in its jurisdiction, according to the report.

"Apparently, Timmothy had just escaped and kept running across a bridge into KY," the report states.

The Red Roof Inn the boy claiming to be Timmothy was staying at was near Cincinnati and north Kentucky, ABC Cincinnati affiliate WCPO reported.

The boy described his two kidnappers to police as white, male and with a "body-builder type build," the police report states. One of the men has black curly hair and a spider web tattoo on his neck and was wearing a shirt with a Mountain Dew logo and jeans, and the other was short and has a snake tattoo on his arm, according to the report. They were driving a newer model Ford SUV with Wisconsin plates, "yellow transfer paint" and a dent on the back bumper, according to the boy.

On May 11, 2011, Timmothy's mother, Amy Fry-Pitzen, had checked him out of his elementary school for a three-day vacation that also included the Brookfield Zoo in Illinois, the Chicago Tribune reported.

Fry-Pitzen, who was suffering from depression and going through an unhappy marriage at the time, was found dead from suicide on May 14, 2011, inside a motel room in Rockford, Illinois, according to the Tribune. She allegedly left behind a note saying Timmothy was safe with people who were caring for him, but would never be found, the newspaper reported.

Surveillance video released by the Aurora Police Department in 2012 showed him and his mother at the Kalahari Resort in Wisconsin Dells. Fry-Pitzen was later seen on surveillance video entering and leaving Sullivan's Foods in Winnebago, Illinois, around 8 p.m. on May 13 without Timmothy, according to the Aurora Police Department.

Several law enforcement agencies, including the FBI and Cincinnati Police Department, assisted in the investigation. Law enforcement agencies have not yet released confirmation that the boy who turned up today is Timmothy Pitzen, but the FBI confirmed in a statement that it was conducting a missing child investigation.

A DNA test to confirm if the teen is Timmothy will take about 24 hours, WCPO reported, citing the Aurora Police Department. He is currently being medically treated, the local station reported.

Timmothy's disappearance captured national attention. In January, his case was featured in the Amazon reality series "Fireball Run," and in August, he was featured on A&E crime show "Live PD." His case was also featured on "Crime Watch Daily" in 2017.

Days after his disappearance, Timmothy's father, Jim Pitzen, told ABC News that he was convinced his son was still alive.

"He's out there somewhere and I know he's okay. I just want him to come home to his family," Jim Pitzen said.

Timmothy's grandmother, Alana Anderson, who lives in the suburbs of Chicago, told ABC Chicago station WLS that she is aware of reports that her grandson has been found and is "cautiously hopeful" that it is Timmothy.

"I'm very hopeful that it's him and that he's ok and he's been in a good place when he was gone and he's gonna come back to us," Anderson said.

When asked what her message to Timmothy would be, Anderson replied, "That we've never stopped looking for him, thinking about him, and that we love him and will do anything to get him back to a good life."

Two teenage boys in California have died after being electrocuted while trying to rescue a dog from a canal.

The boys, who have been identified as Jacob Hourmouzus and Jacob Schneider, both 17, were walking with two other teenagers and a dog along the Solano Irrigation District Canal in Dixon, California, on April 1, according to the Solano County Sheriff's Office.

The boys and dog began walking across a metal walking bridge which spanned across the canal when "for unknown reasons" the dog either jumped or fell into the canal, according to the sheriff's office.

(KXTV) Joy Branco talks to reporters about the accident that killed her grandson, Jacob Hourmouzus, 17, near Dixon, Calif., on April 1, 2019.

Hourmouzus and Schneider jumped into the canal to save the dog and then tried to grab the metal bridge to avoid being pulled further into the canal, according to the sheriff's office. Witness reports said the boys "appeared to have been electrocuted and unable to release their grip from the metal bridge" when they grabbed it, the sheriff's office said.

A third teenager who had been walking with Hourmouzus and Schneider then jumped into the canal, knocking the boys off the bridge and pulling the boys and dog from the canal to the side of a levee while the fourth teenager called 911, according to the sheriff's office.

The sheriff's office said the boys were transported to the hospital, where they were later pronounced dead.

(KXTV) People attend a vigil for two teenagers, Jacob Hourmouzus and Jacob Schneider, who were killed in a tragic accident in Dixon, Calif., April 1, 2019.

ABC affiliate KXTV reported that a vigil was held for the boys at Hall Park in Dixon on April 2, with dozens of family and friends, including Hourmouzus' grandmother, Joy Branco, in attendance.

"I have a lot of grandkids," Branco told KXTV. "He was my baby."

The sheriff's office said Pacific Gas and Electric deactivated power to the bridge, which was energized, and that officials with the Sheriff's Office Investigative Unit and Solano County District Attorney's Office were investigating the incident.

"Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of everyone affected by this tragedy," Solano County Sheriff Thomas A. Ferrara said in the press release. "The Solano County Sheriff's Office will continue to search for answers as to how this incident happened."

In 2011 Timothy Pitzen went missing after his mother picked him up to go to a zoo and water park then later killed herself in a hotel room leaving her son with two men. Leaving a note that said "you will never find him". 7 years later a teenage boy was found walking around a parking lot looking suspicious. When he was confronted he said he was the boy who had been kidnapped.

DNA testing was ordered Thursday on a teen who emerged in Kentucky claiming to be the long-missing Timmothy Pitzen and who told officials he'd just escaped the kidnappers who'd held him hostage for more than seven years.

The teen was located in Newport, Ky., early Wednesday by residents who spotted him in the neighborhood and suspected he might be looking to steal something. When neighbors approached him, he told them an incredible story.

Timmothy was reported missing in May 2011. His mother, Amy Fry-Pitzen, picked up the then-6-year-old from school in Aurora, Ill. and took him for a two-day trip to a zoo and a water park.

Then, Fry-Pitzen killed herself in a Rockford hotel room.

Timmothy was nowhere to be found, but a cryptic note, believed written by Fry-Pitzen and found in the room with her body, claimed she left her son with people who would care for him.

"You'll never find him," the note read, according to FOX19.

On Wednesday, Sharon Hall, who said she spotted the 14-year-old boy wandering the block, told FOX19 she initially thought he was trying to steal her neighbor's car.

"From out the window, I couldn't see who was standing to the curb. But I looked out and came back in and...there was a young man standing by my neighbor's car," Hall said. "...The way he was acting, he was fidgety, he was moving around, he was looking in her car."
OHIO TEEN TELLS INVESTIGATORS HE'S TIMMOTHY PITZEN, CHILD WHO DISAPPEARED IN ILLINOIS IN 2011: REPORT
Hall said she eventually got in touch with her neighbor and found two other women already speaking to the teen. The women called police after the teen told them he was Pitzen and had "just escaped from two kidnappers" who held him hostage for seven years.

"We have this child who says he ran away...says he was kidnapped. And we found it. It looks like back in 2011 he was kidnapped or abducted. Last name is Pitzen...first name is Timmothy. If you Google it, it will pop right up," a Campbell County dispatcher said.

The teen described his captors as two men with bodybuilder physiques and said they were traveling in a Ford SUV with Wisconsin license plates, Sharonville Police Department wrote in an incident report.

"One had black curly hair, Mt. Dew shirt and jeans & has a spider web tattoo on his neck. The other was short in stature and had a snake tattoo on his arms," the report stated.

The teen told police he and his kidnappers were staying in a Red Roof Inn in the Cincinnati, Ohio area when he managed to escape, running across a bridge until he reached Kentucky.

The FBI, Aurora police and several other agencies rushed to meet the 14-year-old on Wednesday to confirm if he really was the missing Illinois boy. The teen was taken to Cincinnati Children's Hospital and authorities ordered a DNA test. Officials hope to have the results at some point Thursday.

"We've probably had thousands of tips of him popping up in different areas," Aurora police Sgt. Bill Rowley said. "We have no idea what we're driving down there for. It could be Pitzen. It could be a hoax."

Timmothy's grandmother, Alana Anderson, told WISN-TV on Wednesday that authorities have told the family "very little."

"We just know a 14-year-old boy was found and went to the police," Anderson said. "We don't want to get our hopes up and our family's hopes up until we know something. We just don't want to get our hopes up. We've had false reports and false hopes before."

Anderson also told FOX19 she's "very cautiously hopeful" the teen is her grandson.

"Well I'm very hopeful that it is him and that he is okay and he's been in a good place when he was gone," she said. "...If it turns out to be him, we'll be thrilled."

"We never stopped looking for him, thinking about him, and that we love him and that we will do everything for him to get back to a good life," she said when asked what her message would be to Timmothy.

FBI Louisville also said in a tweet Wednesday: "FBILouisville and @FBICincinnati are actively coordinating with the Newport PD, @CincyPD, Hamilton County Sheriff's Office, and @AuroraPoliceIL on a missing child investigation. There will be no further statement made on this matter until we have additional information."

Two Detroit men were arguing about athletic shoes on the bus. They took the argument outside on the street and 30 year old man pulled a gun on the other man and shot him once in the face and once in the shoulder. He is now in critical condition in the hospital.

A man was critically injured after he was shot in the face and shoulder in Detroit on Wednesday after an apparent argument about shoes, police said.

Detroit police told FOX2 the shooting happened around 12:30 p.m. on Woodward Avenue in the city's Midtown neighborhood after the victim started arguing with another man over his athletic shoes.

"It's a senseless act of violence that didn't have to happen. It shouldn't have taken place," Detroit Police Captain Rodney Cox told FOX2. "My understanding is this took place over a pair of gym shoes."

When the bus stopped, the two reportedly took their argument outside, before a 30-year-old man pulled out a gun and shot the victim twice: once in the face and once in the shoulder.

"But if you're someone that feels like this is something you have to do and this is how you settle your disputes, we will find you, we will take you into custody and we will hold you accountable."
