In the confusion that followed, numerous law enforcement officers rushed to the scene and a US marshal accidentally shot a Homeland Security agent, Brewster County Sheriff Ronny Dodson said.

Dodson said the agent was in stable condition; he didn't release the condition of the wounded student. Her injuries didn't appear to be life-threatening, the sheriff said.

Dodson said the student who died moved about six months ago to Alpine, a community of 6,500 people roughly 200 miles southeast of El Paso. Dodson didn't identify her or provide a motive but said her family is cooperating.

"I understand she was a very good student," the sheriff said. "That's part of the investigation, what triggered this."

The freshman shot the other student at school before killing herself, authorities said, but details about what led to the shooting weren't immediately available.

Alpine police Chief Russell Scown said his department received word that students were running out of the school about 9 a.m. local time (10 a.m. ET).

A deputy happened to be driving by and entered the school's band hall, Dodson said. He found the shooter dead in a bathroom with a gun nearby, Dodson said.

Video showed students evacuated from the building huddled together and hugging each other. Police officers patrolled the streets outside the school. Officers from other jurisdictions descended on Alpine in force.

The Brewster County Sheriff's Office initially said two shooters were believed to be on the loose, but Dodson said later that with the initial shooter dead, no others were being sought.

Authorities also were trying to find a person who telephoned bomb threats to an Alpine hospital and nearby Sul Ross State University, Dodson said. A note making a bomb threat was found on a motel door, he said.

"We had four active crime scenes," the sheriff said.

"None of the prank calls are coordinated or have anything to do with the shooting at the school," Scown said.

Officers with bomb-sniffing dogs searched each university building for explosives, Dodson said. None were found

'There was blood on the floor'

A junior at the school told CNN that students had just started the day's second period when a teacher outside her class began yelling, "Get in the classroom!"

"My teacher ... yelled to everyone to get into the closet," said the junior, whom CNN is not naming because she is a minor.

"We heard someone yelling and running down the hall. We all started crying."

After a while, a law enforcement officer banged on the classroom door and ushered the students out, she said.

"There was blood on the floor in the cafeteria that I saw when we went past it on our way out of the school," the student said. "One of the officers told us to keep our hands up and run out of the building, so I only saw the blood quickly."

"It was so scary and very intense. I've never been so scared in my life," she added.

The school, which has about 280 students, initially was placed on lockdown, the school district said. But students were being evacuated by 9:40 a.m., the Alpine Avalanche newspaper said on its Facebook page.

In a post reporting the evacuation, the Avalanche included an image of people gathering outside along a street.

Residents of Alpine thought they were immune to seemingly random gun violence, the sheriff said at a news conference. The school does not have metal detectors or school resource officers, he noted.

"You can believe we are upset," he said. "We are still in shock for the most part."

A 14-year-old freshman girl shot and injured another female student and then killed herself inside a Texas high school bathroom on Thursday morning, Brewster County Sheriff Ronny Dodson said.

Dodson said the injured student ran outside seeking help and was taken to a hospital with injuries that weren't considered life threatening.

A police officer was accidentally shot in the leg by a marshal responding to the episode, Dodson said.

Five shots were fired during the incident at Alpine High School, leading to the lockdown of all district schools. A woman who answered the phone at the Alpine Independent School District described the situation as "contained."

None of those shot were immediately identified.

"I am currently monitoring the active shooter situation in Alpine," Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said in a statement. "I have directed my office to offer any measure of support needed to assist the law enforcement officials currently working this case. I wish to extend prayers and sympathy to any victims' families and their loved ones who have been affected by this senseless act of violence."

Brewster County is in southwestern Texas near the Mexican border.

Alpine is a small public high school. It reported 277 students were enrolled at the school last year.

Trump said that Putin has been a good leader in their system, and that he has done a better job then President Obama.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The forum offered a preview of how the two candidates will present themselves to the country when they appear on stage September 26 at the crucial first presidential debate. The gulf between them was especially apparent when the discussion centered on Russia and combating ISIS.

Clinton has repeatedly slammed Trump on the campaign trail for his embrace of Russian President Vladimir Putin. But at the "Commander in Chief" forum hosted by NBC News, Trump once again praised the Russian leader in comparison to President Barack Obama.

"Certainly, in that system, he's been a leader, far more than our president has been a leader," Trump said. "If (Putin) says great things about me, I'm gonna say great things about him. I've already said he is really very much of a leader."

Plans for ISIS

Trump has also presented varying answers about his plan to deal with ISIS and moderator Matt Lauer pressed the Republican nominee on the issue.

"I have a plan ... Look, I have a very substantial chance of winning," Trump said. "If I win, I don't want to broadcast to the enemy exactly what my plan is."

But he also said he would confer with US generals on his ISIS plan, although he criticized Pentagon brass, alleging generals have not stood up to Obama.

"I think under the leadership Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, the generals have been reduced to rubble."

With less than three weeks until the debate, Trump seemed at ease with the freewheeling style he has often demonstrated on the campaign trail. He caused a stir by defending a tweet that implied military sexual assault is a result of women serving in the military. Meanwhile, Clinton pivoted from questions about her email server to focus on her vision of a robust national security policy.

Asked about what critics call her hawkish foreign policy record, Clinton said: "We are not putting ground troops into Iraq ever again and we are not putting ground troops into Syria."

She added: "I view force as a last resort, not a first choice. I will do everything in my power to make sure our men and women in the military are fully prepared for any challenge they may have to face on our behalf, but I will also be as careful as I can in making the most significant decisions any president and commander and chief can make about sending our men and women into harm's way."

Clinton, who said defeating ISIS would be her "highest terrorism goal," spoke of using air power and regional alliances to defeat the group.

"We've gotta do it with much more support from the Arabs and the Kurds who will fight on the ground against ISIS," she said. "We have to squeeze them by continuing to support the Iraqi military. They've taken back Ramadi, Fallujah. They've gotta hold them. They've gotta now get into Mosul."

In a press conference Thursday morning, Clinton told reporters that the forum was "yet another test and Donald Trump failed yet again."

"We saw more evidence that he is temperamentally unfit and totally unqualified to be commander in chief," she said. "He trash talked American generals."

Trump repeated his claim that he was "against" the Iraq War, an assertion that has been repeatedly debunked. He praised the military campaign in Iraq in the first months after the invasion.

Trump has repeatedly attacked Clinton over her support for the war, saying it showed poor judgment. Clinton, when asked about her vote to authorize the war, said: "I have said that my voting to give President Bush that authority was, from my perspective, my mistake," she said. "I am asking to be judged on the totality of my record."

Undocumented soldiers

Trump said at the forum that he'd be open to "working" on a way for undocumented immigrants to serve in the US military -- a sharp contrast to his tone during a speech in Arizona last week where he said he would focus on deporting undocumented immigrants from the country.

"I think that when you serve in the armed forces, that's a very special situation," Trump said. "I could see myself working that. Absolutely. Now we have to vet very carefully, everybody would agree with that."

Veterans' health

A woman in the audience asked Trump during the forum what he'll do to stop the "20 veterans" from committing suicide daily.

"Actually it's 22. It's almost impossible to conceive that this is happening in this country," he said. "We're going to speed up the process, we're going to create a great mental health division. They need help."

Clinton, also asked about the issue, pointed to her recently rolled out mental health policy agenda.

"I have a whole section devoted to veterans' mental health. And we've gotta remove the stigma. We've gotta help people currently serving not to feel that if they report their sense of unease, their depression, that somehow it's gonna be a mark against them. We have to do more about addiction. Not only drugs but also alcohol," Clinton said.

Clinton on emails

Clinton, meanwhile, repeated "it was a mistake" to have used a personal email account and server while leading the department, and that she would "certainly not do it again."

"I make no excuses for it," she said.

But Clinton defended certain emails, including those that contained information about the country's covert drone program, as not revealing classified information.

"There were no discussions about any of the covert actions in process being determined about whether or not to go forward," she said. "But every part of our government had to deal with questions, secretary of state's office was first and foremost, so there are ways of talking about the drone program."

Tim Tebow signed a baseball contract with the New York Nets

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In a move that reintroduces a former NFL first-round pick and option-style passer to the clamorous market that begged for -- and, eventually, mocked -- his services as a football player during a time of great quarterbacking acrimony in New York, the Mets (of Major League Baseball) have signed Tim Tebow to a contract.

In short, this is the Tebow Mania you've been waiting for, New Yorkers. The Jets wouldn't play him, but the Mets will be sending the 29-year-old rookie to their instructional league, according to an announcement made by the club on Thursday. Thursday also happens to be the date of the NFL's season-opener.

Tebow is a little more than a week removed from a baseball showcase that drew scouts from nearly every major league team. While the reviews from scouts were mixed at best -- Tebow's swing is quite long, but produces power; he is fast in the outfield but does not have a major league-caliber arm -- the Mets obviously saw enough potential to give him a shot. At the worst, they've wrangled a public relations golden goose. Tebow will generate more for the team's minor league economy in terms of merchandise and ticket sales than potentially any player in team history. At best, they did their work quietly while others stood back and laughed -- perhaps Tebow can one day make it to the show, adding his name to a long list of players who finally made it over the hurdle in their 30s.

While the move is sure to stoke the macabre sense of humor shared by Mets and Jets fans like, we can find a very reasonable take on this situation from the great New York Post columnist Joel Sherman. Tim Tebow gives us the chance to make up for the Michael Jordan baseball fiasco.
"The grander point was missed then," Sherman wrote. "The most popular athlete in the world wanted to play baseball. If he defied all odds and succeeded, great, then the most popular athlete in the world was playing baseball. And if he failed, he a) brought attention to the game; b) used his very loud megaphone to profess his love for the sport to his millions of fans around the world; and c) accentuated just how tough it is to play major league baseball, because the greatest athlete in the world would have failed at it."
While all of us have jokes, we here at the NFL wish Tebow nothing but the best of luck. In my one season covering Tebow while he was a member of the Jets, it was easy to see how passionate he was about anything he threw himself into. Now, that happens to be baseball as a member of the Mets.

The instructional league runs from mid-September through October.

Abducted women called husband from trunk of car before her death.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
During the phone call Tuesday night, Maze said her abductor ambushed her at a rest stop that afternoon on her way home to Great Falls, CNN affiliate KXLY reported.

She talked to her husband and police officers briefly as authorities tracked her phone using signals from cell towers.

Shortly after midnight early Wednesday, about two hours after her call, police found her body in her black Pontiac Grand Prix in Spokane, Washington -- about 350 miles away from her hometown.

Maze, 47, was driving home after a visit to Helena, Montana, on Tuesday afternoon, authorities said.

Her family reported her missing later that night. She called her husband about 10:30 p.m. Tuesday, authorities told KXLY.

Since Maze did not know her whereabouts during the call, authorities from Montana and Washington state tracked her phone and alerted police departments nationwide.

"She was at a rest stop and a suspect approached her and hit her in the head and put her in the trunk," Lewis & Clark County Sheriff Leo Dutton told KXLY.

Dutton said they believe she was killed in Spokane.

"There were phone conversations with her, from this office, from the Helena Police Department, just prior to her death," he said. "So we're relatively certain of the time when she became deceased. It's a terrible thing to have happen, but we will work to find out what did happen. We'll cooperate with Spokane County , that's where we believe that the death occurred. But that's got to be confirmed by cell phone records."

Person of interest

After the call, an Idaho license plate reader notified authorities that the car had crossed into the city of Post Falls, the affiliate reported. Authorities used cell phone records to determine the car was heading toward Spokane.

Police narrowed the search area, but by the time they got to her, it was too late. The Spokane County Sheriff's Deputies said they found the car, along with a body, at 12:30 a.m. Wednesday near the Spokane International Airport.

Authorities did not release a cause of death, but said it is believed to be a homicide, according to the affiliate.

A GoFundMe page created after her death says Maze was on her way back from visiting her mother when she was abducted.

"We as a community will come together in this horrific time for the Maze family," the page says. "We need to do whatever it takes to make things easier for the family to grieve. Proceeds will go to helping to defray service expenses for this genuinely beautiful soul."

At first, authorities had said they have a person of interest, but a law enforcement official later told CNN that's no longer the case.

"There were earlier reports of a possible person of interest and the investigation found those reports are false," the official said.

Local FBI officials said the case is under investigation, but declined to provide details.

"The FBI Salt Lake City field office, along with the Lewis & Clark County Sheriff's Office in Montana, continue to investigate the death," said Sandra E. Barker of the FBI.

"This remains an active investigation and no further comment will be made at this time."

The website True Pundit claimed New York cops working security at the forum saw Clinton wearing a high tech "inductive earpiece" so aides backstage could help her answer questions.

Could it have been an optical illusion or even a hearing aid? In a side profile of Clinton's left ear, no device could be seen or found.

The Clinton campaign has not commented on the matter.

In her first press conference in 278 days Clinton trashed Donald Trump's performance in last night's live TV forum.

She spoke in New York Thursday morning and said: "Last night was yet another test and Donald Trump failed yet again. We saw more evidence that he is temperamentally unfit and totally unqualified to be commander-in-chief."

9/11 flag from Ground Zero believed to be lost found in Washington state

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
An American flag that turned up in Washington state two years ago is believed to be the flag that was raised by firefighters above the site of the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York.

The Everett Police Department, with help from forensic experts, made the assessment after the flag turned up in 2014. The flag will be donated to the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.

Still, the mystery about how the flag turned up nearly 3,000 miles away from New York. The flag disappeared from Ground Zero during the site cleanup.

The police investigation began in November 2014 when a man, who identified himself as "Brian," dropped off a flag in a plastic bag that he said was given to him by a widow of a 9/11 victim at an Everett fire station. According to Q13 Fox, the man said for some reason he thought the flag was from Ground Zero.

"This flag was turned in with a story. Reported to be the iconic flag raised at Ground Zero September 2001," Everett Deputy Police Chief Mark St. Clair told Q13 Fox.

The detectives' investigation included DNA analysis, photographic comparisons and eyewitness identification. Washington State Patrol Crime Lab scientist Bill Schneck was tasked with figuring out whether the flag was from Ground Zero.

"Oh my gosh! I figured it was incredibly patriotic for one thing. Just to know I'm looking at something this important," Schneck said.

He said that he began to examine the particles from the flag and compared with the dust particles captured from Ground Zero after the attack and during the cleanup. He also analyzed the original photograph.

"If you look at the original photograph from 9/11 you see a certain black electric tape holding two lines together and they had the same general profile so I knew then, well, this could be it," he added.

Schneck said he analyzed his findings over and over again and is now certain that the flag was from Ground Zero.

He said he was invited to the ceremonies that are set to take place Sunday to remember the 15th anniversary of the terror attacks, but he declined saying that he's no hero and that Americans should all remember the victims, first responders and the families involved in the attacks.

Everett police have asked the public to help find the man who dropped off the flag.

Immigrants are preying upon U.S citizens for citizenship according to experts. A lady by the name of Renee Suns, 21 year old son was dating a foreign exchange student from Mongolia. He had always wondered why her tearful breakup speeches ended with the word "text me" What she was really doing was gaining citizenship by playing Renees son and claiming he was stalking her. There is a thing called the U Visa and immigrants who are victims of stalking, domestic violence etc are allowed to stay in the US during the investigation and can be made a permanent us citizen.

Renee Sun's 21-year-old son always wondered why his girlfriend of three months regularly ended her tearful breakup speeches by pulling him close and whispering into his ear, "Text me."

The brief but tempestuous relationship began when the two were students at University of Colorado-Boulder -- he an admittedly naïve engineering student and she a foreign scholar from Mongolia.

She approached him, asked him on a date, took yoga classes with him, and learned about his religion, according to Sun, who asked that her son not be named. In retrospect, Sun and her family believe he was being played.

"This was a setup that trapped a simple American young man for the benefit of gaining legal status for this woman's entire family, her mother, and her brother," Sun said. "By finding a victim like my son, they can stay in this country and immediately enjoy all the social benefits."

The reason for the parting double message seemed to become clear when Sun's son was arrested and learned his erstwhile paramour had gone to campus police claiming he was stalking her.

Every time he texted her, he unknowingly provided digital evidence to prove her claim. That made her and her family members eligible for the only prize they were ever really after, according to Sun and immigration experts: A green card known to bureaucrats and applicants as the "U" visa, which would allow them to stay in the U.S. legally and ultimately gain citizenship.

Immigrants, whether legal or illegal, may apply for the U visa if they are victims of certain crimes, including stalking and domestic violence, and if they help law enforcement in the investigation or prosecution. The U visa, created as part of the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000, allows the alleged victims to remain in the U.S. while assisting law enforcement, and they can then become eligible to adjust to lawful permanent resident status.

According to the Department of Homeland Security, the U visa is in place largely to protect women and children who may be victims of crimes such as human trafficking, domestic violence, sexual assault and other abuse, but are afraid to report the crimes due to factors including the language barrier, cultural differences, lack of knowledge of U.S. laws and deportation fears.

Former Arapahoe County (Colo.) District Attorney Michael Steinberg, who now specializes in such cases, said, "anyone who enters the country illegally and can produce a restraining order or affidavit, even with no hard evidence of abuse, is likely to be approved for a work permit and permanent residency."

Steinberg, in a paper posted on his website, notes that accused individuals such as Sun's son are not allowed to offer Customs and Immigration Services evidence, even if it shows the petitioner has engaged in criminal behavior. The U visa provision even brings to a halt deportation proceedings that may have already been under way, Steinberg said.

A local prosecutor charged Sun's son with stalking, and while the first trial ended in a hung jury, he was convicted on retrial.

"It has been devastating for my son, our family and the people who know about this relationship and care about my son," Sun said, noting the family is considering an appeal.

If it was a con, it was not the first of its kind, say experts. While foreign nationals unquestionably experience domestic violence in America, savvy scammers know that playing the card opens up loopholes to legal residency and even citizenship.

"Every week we hear from people who have been taken advantage of by fraudsters," said Jessica Vaughan, director of policy studies for the Washington-based Center for Immigration Policy. "It's hard to hear these stories of citizens who are duped and not only have their hearts broken, but often their bank account drained and lose their good name to false accusations of abuse, but is a predictable consequence of giving out green cards to anyone who claims to have been the victim of a crime."

The number of people submitting U visa applications to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services claiming to be victims of crime has increased dramatically in recent years, rising to 52,666 last year from 24,768 applicants in 2012. The number is on track to reach nearly 58,000 by year's end.

"It can't be that there has suddenly been a wave of domestic violence or victimization of immigrants," Vaughan said. "Instead, the advocates for illegal immigrants have realized that these special green card programs are a way to launder the status of many illegal aliens in the absence of a larger amnesty."

John Sampson, a retired Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent, who now operates CSI Consulting and Investigations, which specializes in helping U.S. citizens victimized by foreign national visa scams, was an expert witness in the Suns' case.

"If he was harassing her, why didn't she block his number, get a new phone, tell his parents about him, or get a restraining order before a year's time? Why subject herself to a year's long harassment that turned into stalking?"

Sampson said claiming to be a victim of stalking, harassment or domestic violence to obtain a U visa is a common scenario. "Unfortunately, most of the courts and prosecutors are fully unaware of what is going on. They have no idea," Sampson said.

The so-called "domestic violence" visas are even easier to obtain if the underlying relationship blooms into a marriage, Sampson warned.

Of the more than 450,000 immigrant visas issued on the basis of a marriage to a U.S. citizen each year, nearly 30 percent are fraudulent, Sampson said, citing US ICE statistics.

"It is these one-sided immigration marriage fraud schemes that cause the most damage to unsuspecting U.S. citizens and their families," Sampson said. "They are abused emotionally, financially, psychologically and, often times, physically. And no one seems to be interested in stopping this heinous crime."

All the foreign nationals have to do, Sampson said, is allege they are the victim of domestic violence or abuse, even on the same day of marriage, and then they become a permanent resident alien "in an instant."

Obstacles that normally prevent a foreign national from obtaining a green card - or being deported - are waived for those claiming domestic violence because the foreign national is now the victim, said Sampson.

"It's the mother of all 'Get Out of Jail Free Cards,'" Sampson said.

In addition to having their hearts broken, U.S. citizens taken in by the scam can have their lives ruined and even be sent to prison. Some have seen their bank accounts emptied by newly-minted resident aliens, who often go straight onto the government dole, Sampson said.

New Jersey resident Elena Maria Lopez claims she was targeted in an immigration marriage fraud scheme, and now runs an advocacy website to educate the public about such scams.

"The easiest way to get a quick green card is by claiming domestic violence against your American spouse," Lopez said. "Making such unsubstantiated, uninvestigated allegations can help you bypass background checks and is almost a guaranteed green card for foreign nationals that would've been flagged on many other levels."

While immigrants are often eligible for pro bono legal help, including immigration fraud, no such help is available to U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents scammed by immigrants for legal status, Lopez said.

Dani Bennett, spokesman for ICE's Homeland Security Investigations, said the agency places a high priority on investigating identity and benefit fraud.

"These types of fraud pose a severe threat to homeland security and public safety because they create a vulnerability that enables criminals and other nefarious actors to gain entry and remain in the United States," Bennett said.

In 2015, Homeland Security Investigations arrested 873 individuals on federal criminal charges related to benefit fraud and another 1,282 individuals on federal document fraud charges, Bennett said.

There's no doubt there are true victims of domestic violence, and the Violence Against Women Act, initially signed into law in 1994, has been key in getting the abused much-needed protection, said Claude Arnold, a retired U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement special agent in charge of Homeland Security Investigations.

"This is a tough situation," Arnold said. "You want to have the law protect domestic violence victims, yet the law also creates another vulnerability in our immigration system that is exploited by fraudsters."

A Kentucky family has now filed a lawsuit after a 16-year-old girl took her last breaths inside a cell at a juvenile detention facility — while a guard stood outside, watching.

Gynnya McMillen coughed and gasped for air in her cell as she suffered a seizure on January 11, according to the lawsuit cited by CBS News. Those coughs alerted youth worker Reginald Windham, who, at 11:39 p.m., went “to check on her to make sure she had not thrown up or was choking or something like that.”
