Indianapolis Colts guard Matt Slauson suffered a significant injury during last Thursday's loss to the New England Patriots that could have been even worse.

Per Zak Keefer of the Indianapolis Star, Slauson continued to play in the game after suffering two broken vertebrae in his spine during the third quarter and could have been paralyzed.

"I had no idea how close I was to changing my family's life," Slauson said.

The Colts announced Monday that Slauson had been placed on injured reserve after he played 88 snaps-including all 83 on offense- against the Patriots.

Indianapolis signed Evan Boehm on Monday to add depth along the offensive line. The unit has been without left tackleAnthony Castonzo all season due to a hamstring injury, and right tackle J'Marcus Webb landed on injured reserve after Week 1 with a hamstring ailment as well.

Slauson signed a one-year deal with the Colts in March. He started each of the team's first five games.

Now in his ninth NFL season, Slauson has also played with the New York Jets, Chicago Bears and San Diego/Los Angeles Chargers.

A Washington state man says his truck was set ablaze and vandalized with spray paint because it was adorned with pro-President Trump stickers.

Johnny MacKay says he had a few drinks at a Vancouver, Washington, bar and decided to take an Uber home and leave his truck overnight in the parking lot.

The truck had two stickers on the bumper in support of President Trump, one of which read: “TRUMP 2020.”

MacKay was shocked the next morning to find his truck destroyed, as he said the “tires were melted, the windows were shattered.”

On "Fox & Friends" Thursday, MacKay said the woman who reported the fire said the truck originally had "Fk Trump" spray-painted on it, but some of the letters were scorched off by the blaze.

He said he's certain it was a targeted, anti-Trump attack, and he's hopeful that law enforcement is able to track down the suspect or suspects.

"The bar has surveillance video and I believe a few other neighbors might have additional video footage," MacKay said.

He said he currently plans to vote for Trump in 2020, as he's not overly impressed by any of the rumored Democratic challengers.

A 74-year-old Georgia woman is accused of killing her 76-year-old husband who she said had fallen and hit his head.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports Betty Sue Parton was arrested Tuesday on charges including murder and elder abuse. Cherokee County Sheriff's spokesman Lt. Jay Baker says an unknown object was used in the April slaying of David Parton.

Baker says deputies responded to a call of a person down and found the husband dead. He says Parton had injuries consistent with a fall. However, he says the county medical examiner told deputies in July that the death was suspicious. Parton's cause of death is now classified as a homicide caused by blunt force trauma.

Family goes on protest after getting "stone cold" food from them.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Though some pizza aficionados prefer the beloved dish cold, one British family was so frustrated with the belated delivery and "stone cold" temperature of their Domino's order, they staged a lengthy sit-in protest at the fast casual chain, which ultimately ended with police intervention.

On Oct. 5, Fay James and her family were upset when their Domino's meal of a "medium pizza, chicken strips, garlic pizza bread, two lots of doughballs and wedges" was delivered to their home in Gloucester, Western England, over an hour after they had placed the order, Gloucestershire Live reported. Making matters worse, the mom reported that the food was "stone cold," though the family lives just eight minutes away from the restaurant's location.

WAFFLE HOUSE CLOSED 30 LOCATIONS AHEAD OF HURRICANE MICHAEL
James said that attempts to speak to the delivery driver were unsuccessful as he "just walked off," prompting her to spend 45 minutes on the phone with the Domino's store in hopes of coordinating for a replacement order to be sent, to no avail, The Sun reported.

Taking matters into her own hands, James and her family went to the Domino's location to demand a replacement or refund of the $28 order.

"My husband dropped the boxes on the counter but the manager refused to speak to us," James told Gloucestershire Live of the scene. She proceeded to wait an hour and a half in the store for answers, with her 10-year-old daughter in tow.

Finally, around 11 p.m., the manager threatened to press the panic button to call authorities if the family did not leave. And so she did. When police arrived on the scene, the unnamed female manager claimed the James' were "aggressive, abusive and had caused damage to the door," the outlet reported.

After a heated argument, law enforcement officials told the manager to refund the family's order, though James says she's not sure if the money had returned to her account just yet.

Though reps for Domino's did not immeditatly return Fox News' request for comment, a spokesperson did offer Gloucestershire Live the following statement:

"We apologize for any upset caused to our customer and her family. We have issued a refund and some complimentary vouchers as a gesture of good will, which have been accepted," they said. "We have also reminded our team members of the high standard of service required at all times."

A Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority official says a man fell to his death when he attempted to ride an upward Metro escalator in a motorized wheelchair.

Metro spokeswoman Sherri Ly tells news outlets the man called for an elevator at the Columbia Heights Metro station Wednesday afternoon before quickly boarding the escalator. She says he had nearly reached the top of the escalator when he fell backward, landing at the bottom.

Ly says the man was taken to a hospital where he was declared dead. She says his name isn't being released pending the notification of his family.

She says the elevator was working. A recent Metro report says elevator availability for the last fiscal year was 97 percent. But many people with disabilities disagree, citing frequent breakdowns.

Hurricane Michael hit the Carolina's after it hit Florida and Georgia.Two were killed one was a 11 year old. This was the 3rd most powerful storm in the U.S

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A ferocious and historic Hurricane Michael is heading toward the Carolinas after tearing through Florida and Georgia, demolishing homes, submerging entire neighborhoods and killing at least two people, including an 11-year-old girl.

It is the third-most-powerful storm on record to hit the U.S., and the worst in nearly 50 years, since Hurricane Camille in 1969.

Michael, which is also the first Category 4 to ever make landfall on the Florida Panhandle, "the worst storm" that area has ever seen," Florida Gov. Rick Scott said Wednesday.

The massive storm hit the Panhandle in northwest Florida early Wednesday afternoon, leaving a trail of devastation. It then roared north through southwest Georgia and was on Thursday setting its sights on North and South Carolina, states that are still reeling from historic flooding left by Hurricane Florence last month.

ABC News chief meteorologist Ginger Zee said the ruins in Mexico Beach were "eerily reminiscent to the scene I saw in Gulfport [Louisiana] in 2005" after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina.

This is what 98 looks like from my viewpoint inside Summer House On 23rd Street in Mexico Beach. This condo building we are in sustained very little damage. Can't say the same for homes in the distance that were washed away. Such a sad scene. pic.twitter.com/pNIZV7rEsx
- Ginger Zee (@Ginger_Zee) October 10, 2018

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio tweeted he was hearing "stunning" reports of damage, including that "Mexico Beach is gone" and the "damage in Panama City is catastrophic."

Michael takes aim at hard-hit Carolinas

Michael weakened to a tropical storm and was moving northeast Thursday, with tropical storm warnings in effect from Georgia to North Carolina, including Savannah, Raleigh, Wilmington and Charleston.

Six to 9 inches of rain could drench Virginia and North Carolina.

1st major hurricane to hit Georgia in 120 years

Michael is the first major hurricane to blow into the state since the 1898.

One death has been confirmed in Georgia. An 11-year-old girl was killed when part of a metal carport crashed into her family's trailer in Lake Seminole and struck her in the head, local officials said.

In Roberta, Georgia, a reported tornado devastated the small town.

Over 180,000 in the state were without power Thursday.

Seminole County is "pitch black," in "complete and total devastation," Travis Brooks, director of Seminole County's Emergency Management Agency told ABC News.

Authorities on Thursday begged families to stay inside while they worked to clear an overwhelming number of downed trees.

Devastation in Florida

Michael, which Gov. Scott called "monstrous," made landfall with wind speeds that were nearly the greatest possible for a Category 4 -- 155 mph. When a hurricane reaches 157 mph, it is a Category 5, the highest possible.

As the storm's fierce winds pushed ocean water onto the Panhandle's Mexico Beach, ABC News' Ginger Zee said she saw an "entire home, a well-built home, rolling down the street. ... It makes you shake."

Michael left Mexico Beach destroyed, with the storm surge ripping multiple houses from their foundations, sending them bobbing along the main road that runs through the beloved beach town.

With cell service knocked out, leaving people isolated and staring at empty spots where dozens of homes are no longer standing.

The Florida Panhandle is the wide strip in the northwestern corner of the state bordered by the Gulf of Mexico to the south and Alabama and Georgia to the north. Popular with tourists for its beaches, the area also has many year-round residents. Its largest city is Pensacola, with a population approaching half a million.

"Panama City is a vibrant seaside city. Popular vacation spot for both families & college students. Early reports from locals is catastrophic devastation," Sen. Rubio tweeted.

He described Mexico Beach as an "old old Florida town" that "feels like a trip back in time to a place unspoiled by development.

"It will take a long time to recover from this. We will do everything we can to make sure the federal government does it's part," the senator tweeted. "But I will confess that my biggest fear that this part of Florida, with its unique & genuine characteristics, will never be the same."

Thousands fled the Florida coastline before Michael hit. But by Wednesday morning, it was too late to evacuate. Those who remained were urged to shelter in place.

Krista Miller, who stayed behind in her 111-year-old home in Apalachicola Bay, told "Good Morning America," "It sounded like a freight train coming from every direction."

Colleen Swab, her mother and her young daughter took shelter in a closet in Panama City Beach, Florida.

"We were terrified but there was nowhere for us to go; we couldn't get on the roads. It was too late," Swab said. "I thought the roof was going to come off. I don't suggest trying to ride out a storm."

At least one person has died in Florida from the storm, according to local officials.

As cleanup and rescues were underway Thursday, Gov. Scott urged residents who evacuated and hunkered down at home to stay off the roads.

"The worst thing you can do now is act foolishly" by putting yourself in danger or keeping law enforcement from saving lives, he said at a news conference.

Among those helping are about 450 Florida Highway Patrol officers, many of whom drove through the night to the Panhandle to help with rescues.

"During disasters, Floridians take care of each other," Scott said. "We will recover."

Residents in the dark

Michael has left about 700,000 households and businesses without power across Florida, Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina.

More than 30,000 workers from at least 24 states have been mobilized to restore power, officials said.

An estimated 325,000 residents in the path of the storm were told to evacuate by local authorities, but only 6,000 people came to the roughly 80 shelters across Florida, Alabama, Georgia and the Carolinas, officials said.

Federal officials were worried that the fast-moving nature of the storm didn't give residents enough time to get out. Michael strengthened to a Category 4 in just a few hours.

Red Cross officials said they expect shelter population to swell to 20,000 by Thursday or Friday.

The storm "grew into a monster," President Donald Trump said Wednesday from the Oval Office.

Despite the storm, Trump headed to his planned Wednesday night rally in Pennsylvania, telling reporters, "We have thousands of people lined up. ... It would have been very unfair."

Trump said later from the rally, "Our thoughts and prayers on behalf of the nation to everyone out there in the path of Hurricane Michael. ... All of Pennsylvania and America sends its unwavering love and support."

Trump said he is working closely with governors of Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Alabama and Georgia to provide resources and support from the federal government.

Trump added, "I'll be traveling to Florida very, very shortly, and I just want to wish them all the best. God speed."

Kanye West meets Trump A the White house

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Kanye West, the at times controversial rapper-turned-prison reform activist, is slated to meet with President Donald Trump at the White House on Thursday.

Interested in Donald Trump?

Add Donald Trump as an interest to stay up to date on the latest Donald Trump news, video, and analysis from ABC News.

The president and rapper are slated to discuss prison reform, the African American jobs unemployment rate and the surge in violence in West's hometown of Chicago, according to a statement from White House press secretary Sarah Sanders. West is also expected to bring Jim Brown, a former star running back for the Cleveland Browns and someone who has previously spoken with Trump about issues impacting the black community.

In an interview on Fox and Friends on Thursday, Trump spoke glowingly about the rapper calling him "a friend of mine." On Tuesday, Trump called West " a terrific guy" and someone who "loves what we're doing for African-American jobs."

AP Photo/Seth Wenig

West's wife, Kim Kardashian West, has visited the White House twice this year - most recently in Septemeber - to discuss prison reform with the president as well as with Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner.

In May, Kardashian West met with President Trump in the Oval Office to talk about prison reform and clemency for Alice Marie Johnson. The 63-year old grandmother was serving a life sentence on drug charges. Shortly after Kardashian West's meeting with the president about Johnson, the president commuted the grandmother's sentence.

While the couple's increased public advocacy for prison reform has drawn lauds in some circles, Kanye West's relationship with Trump has been a source of criticism in the hip-hop community.

West declared earlier this year that the "mob" can't make him abandon President Trump. Following months of criticism from hip-hop fans, recording artists and friends alike over his support for the president, the rapper remains undeterred.

During a recent appearance on "Saturday Night Live", West wore a "Make America Great Again" hat and dove into a passionate, pro-Trump rant on live TV - one that continued even after the show ended.

AP

The following Sunday afternoon, amid backlash over his "SNL" appearance, the rapper tweeted a photo of himself wearing a red hat with the MAGA campaign slogan, writing that "this represents good and America becoming whole again. We will no longer outsource to other countries. We build factories here in America and create jobs. We will provide jobs for all who are free from prisons as we abolish the 13th amendment. Message sent with love."

The thirteenth amendment abolished slavery in the U.S., "except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted."

West later tweeted that "the 13th Amendment is slavery in disguise meaning it never ended We are the solution that heals." In another tweet he added "not abolish but. let's amend the 13th amendment We apply everyone's opinions to our platform."

Trump, who has repeatedly touted West's support, gave him a reciprocal shoutout on Sunday morning.

"Like many, I don't watch Saturday Night Live (even though I past hosted it) - no longer funny, no talent or charm. It is just a political ad for the Dems. Word is that Kanye West, who put on a MAGA hat after the show (despite being told "no"), was great. He's leading the charge!" the president tweeted.

Armed man arrested near a California campsite where another man was shot in front of his daughters.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Southern California authorities on Wednesday arrested an armed man near the area where a father was gunned down during the summer while camping with his two young daughters in Malibu State Park.

Sheriff Jim McDonnell said investigators do not have enough information yet to link the man to the shootings at this point.

"We're not going to say ... 'Yes, he is' or ... 'No, he's not,'" McDonnell said. "We don't have that information yet."

The search was prompted by a series of at least eight burglaries over the past two years in the Calabasas-Malibu area.

Authorities had been looking for someone who broke into several offices and other buildings as far back as October 2016. The investigation intensified after a theft last week in which surveillance video recorded the suspected burglar wearing a mask and armed with a rifle.

Anthony Rauda, 42, was taken into custody. Authorities said they managed to track him down Wednesday by following "fresh boot prints" left behind in a remote part of the Malibu Canyon wilderness.

Detectives noticed "a male adult wearing black clothing walking quickly who resembled the suspect in the burglary."

Rauda was armed with a rifle at the time, authorities said. He was arrested after a "few tense moments." The rifle will undergo ballistics testing.

Rouda, who has a criminal history of burglaries and weapons violations, was being held on a parole violation as investigators worked to determine if there should be additional charges, authorities said.

Authorities appeared to increase their efforts in the burglary investigation after surveillance video from one of the burglary scenes showed a suspect armed.

Tristan Beaudette, 35, of Irvine, was shot in the head before dawn June 22 as he slept in a tent at Malibu Creek State Park with his daughters, ages 2 and 4. He had taken his daughters camping while his wife studied for an exam.

The park has been closed since.

Rauda potentially could face murder charges if the investigation links him to Beaudette's death.
