A famous hacker who goes by the name "The Jester" claims to have hijacked a North Korean radio station to play "The Final Countdown" by Swedish rock band Europe last week.

The Jester claims to have taken over a shortwave 50-kilowatt radio station in the city of Kanggye. The station is located near North Korea's border with China and broadcasts at 6400kHz which is between AM and FM radio. He posted an alleged recording of the one-hit wonder coming across a crackly radio.

A god among us has hijacked 6400kHz (North Korean station) and is playing the Final Countdown >> https://t.co/rPJ1aEccUs

Strategic Sentinel, a Washington D.C.-based intelligence firm has said that the station has broadcast encrypted messages - and noted that that the cryptic broadcasts usually come before weapons tests.

The most likely speculation for these messages is an upcoming missile test on the heels of #DPRK FM #UNGA statements

- Strategic Sentinel (@StratSentinel) September 23, 2017

In fact we have. Examples are, 2 days before 6th nuclear test, 1 day before 1st ICBM test, 1 day before both Japan fly overs.

The hacker's identity is unknown, but he has been associated with several high-level hacks and pranks. The Jester claimed credit for splashing a warning across the front page of a website that is Russia's version of the State Department last year, according to CNN.

"Comrades! We interrupt regular scheduled Russian Foreign Affairs Website programming to bring you the following important message," he wrote. "Knock it off. You may be able to push around nations around you, but this is America. Nobody is impressed."

Taking advantage of a vulnerability in the Russian site, he made it appear as if he hacked the site but didn't. The stunt fooled the Russian government and several news sites like CNN and Fox News.

The Jester has also taken credit for hacks against WikiLeaks and radical jihadist websites.

The Jester calls himself "a patriotic hacker" and claimed in a 2012 interview with a University of Southern Maine class that he was a U.S. veteran. The Jester said he doesn't work with the U.S. government in his hacks. The hacker's logo also made an easter egg appearance in the show "Mr. Robot."

First female Border Patrol chief says agents are empowered to 'enforce the laws' under Trump.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Border Patrol Chief Carla Provost said the Trump administration's rhetoric regarding protecting America's borders in the face of illegal immigration has a lot of agents "feeling empowered to actually enforce the laws that are on the books."

Provost, who's been with the agency for nearly 23 years, said "the men and women out there really just want to enforce those laws that they have been trained to enforce, that've been - and I think they feel empowered to do their jobs now."

"From the Border Patrol perspective right now, having that support and having the ability to go out and do the job that they were hired for is certainly bringing up their morale," Provost told Politico's "Women Rule" podcast recently.

Provost is the first woman to lead the U.S. Border Patrol in its 93-year history. She was named the agency's acting chief earlier this year after serving as deputy under Ronald Vitiello, who is now acting deputy commissioner of Customs and Border Protection, which oversees the Border Patrol.

While she acknowledges her role is a milestone for women in the agency, Provost said she's reluctant to wear it as a badge of honor for all to see. She said, instead, she sees no difference between male and female agents.

"We're all Border Patrol agents, and that was something I've always, I guess, aspired to throughout my career," Provost said in the interview. "The key in the Border Patrol is if you go out, you do a good job, [and] then you're recognized for it, whether you're male or female."

She added: "I think most women in the Border Patrol...they're very proud of the fact that they go through the exact same to become a Border Patrol agent, and I think there's a huge pride in that."

Currently, women account for only about five percent of positions in the Border Patrol, one of the lowest proportions among federal law enforcement agencies.

"We certainly bring a different perspective to the table, even in just the way we approach things," Provost said. "It's one of those things that it's hard to say what number is the right number, but diversity as a whole makes us all better."

Provost said more needs to be done to recruit women to the agency, but she also said she understands the difficulties that come with growing the agency's numbers.

"We're not in every major city across the country where you would work in an airport, confined places," she said, adding it takes a certain type of person to be a Border Patrol agent. "We're asking people to go out, work night shifts in the desert, by themselves, tracking up groups, not necessarily knowing what they're coming into."

She added: "It's not for everybody, but certainly, increasing our diversity in the Border Patrol is a positive thing for us, and that's not just necessarily speaking about women."

Provost, a former police officer in her native Kansas, joined the Border Patrol in 1995 and quickly rose through the ranks. She served as an agent in Douglas, Az. for several years before promotions led to a number of senior positions in Yuma and then El Paso, Tex.

"I was drawn to law enforcement, I think, in probably my teen years...It's the wanting to serve, wanting to do something that's great for the country. I was just raised that way. And the excitement that comes from knowing that you're doing something to help protect the country," she said.

At the time she started with Border Patrol, it was still part of the Justice Department and had fewer than 5,000 agent patrolling the north and south borders. Today, there are nearly 20,000 agents with about 18,000 of them patrolling the southwest border.

A mother in upstate New York, Markiya Mitchell intentionally drowned her newborn child in a bathtub.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
An upstate New York mother was charged with second-degree murder after she drowned her 10-day-old son in a bathtub on Monday, police said.

Officers responded to the Rochester home around 2:30 p.m. after receiving a report of an unresponsive newborn and found the baby in a bathtub.

The newborn, named Jeremiah, was taken to Rochester General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead a short time later.

The boy's mother, 25-year-old Markiya Mitchell, admitted to intentionally drowning her baby, according to court documents obtained by FOX Rochester.

Mitchell filled the tub with eight to 10 inches of water, then intentionally left her 10-day-old alone in the tub for one to two hours, the documents said.

She was arraigned on the murder charge early Tuesday. Prosecutors may empanel a grand jury to file additional charges, according to FOX Rochester.

Mitchell also has a 7-year-old child, who is now being taken care of by a family member, according to police.

Paul Ryan exposes Ray Moore of chasing after teenage girls

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
"He should step aside," Ryan said during his news conference. "Number one, these allegations are credible. Number two, if he cares about the values that he claims to care about, then he should step aside."

Ryan's comments come as more than a dozen Republican lawmakers have urged Moore to step aside.

An Alabama woman alleged Monday that Moore sexually assaulted her when she was a teenager. Moore called the accusation "absolutely false" in a statement in Gallant, Alabama, later Monday, denying that he knew the woman.

The accusations came after The Washington Post published a report last week based on interviews with more than 30 people, saying Moore pursued relationships with teenagers while he was in his 30s. One woman said she was 14 years old when Moore initiated sexual contact with her. Moore also denied those allegations and has threatened to sue the Post.

A Florida man faces eviction for owning a "emotional support squirrel"

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A Florida man has been served with an eviction notice over his emotional support squirrel.

Ryan Boylan, 40, of Clearwater, says he needs Brutis to deal with anxiety from a long ago car accident but Island Walk Condominiums says the squirrel needs to vacate the premises because she is putting other residents at risk.

"There's absolutely no way I would give her up. I'm not sure how an animal that weighs less than two pounds can harm anybody," he told WFTS-TV.

Boylan told the station he fell in love with Brutis after nursing her back to health after Hurricane Matthew more than a year ago. The squirrel has the run of Boylan's apartment. One of her perches is the ceiling fan.

The condo board found out about Brutis in April when a dog chased the squirrel up a tree, WFLA-TV reported Friday.

Boyland was served with eviction papers last month.

The complaint says Boylan never submitted paperwork claiming Brutis was an emotional support animal until this past summer, according to the station.

Boylan says his doctor gave him a note for the squirrel in July "due to his emotional disability."

In response to a discrimination complaint from Boylan, the Florida Office of Human Rights sent the condo board a letter saying that emotional support animals were protected under the Fair Housing Act, the station reported.

"It's just like with any animal, you can have the nicest dog and they could bite somebody, it's no guarantee," Sherry Arfa, a former condo board member, told WFLA. "If it was a gerbil or something that your grandkid had hiding under the bed, I'm sure that would be fine. But a squirrel is a wild animal."

In Florida, a "service animal" is defined as one that is "trained to do work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability, including a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual or other mental disability."

Parts of the law, including bringing service animals to public areas and guaranteeing people with disabilities equal rights limit the defining to "to a dog or miniature horse."

Maryland oyster and beer festival leaves 164 people ill

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
At least 164 people have reportedly gotten sick after attending an oyster and beer festival in Maryland.

Attendees of the Nov. 4 festival at Fager's Island restaurant in Ocean City experienced symptoms of gastroenteritis, or a stomach flu, the Baltimore Sun reports.

The Maryland Department of Health, along with the Worcester County Health Department, is investigating the source of the outbreak. The restaurant was cleared by officials to host a similar event on Saturday, but no simliar cases have been reported from that particular day, according to the Maryland Department of Health.

However, the cause of the initial outbreak has yet to be determined.

Officials were sent to inspect the restaurant prior to the second event, to ensure no one who had been sick within the last two days were working. And one woman, Judy Robertson, told the Sun that she noticed organizers taking additional precautions: e.g., the workers were wearing gloves and doling out silverware, rather than letting attendees get it themselves; the bathrooms were assigned their own cleaning attendants; and festival-goers were given disposal cups instead of commemorative glasses (patrons were instead allowed to take the glasses home).

Kevin Myers, general manager of Fager's, said in a statement he's working with health officials to determine the cause of the outbreak. Experts speculate one possibility is vibrio parahaemolyticus, a naturally occurring warm saltwater bacteria associated with shellfish. "The food is one of the most likely places for it to spread because food is a breeding ground for the bacteria," said Dr. Bruce Y. Lee, an associate professor of international health at Johns Hopkins University, told the Sun.

Gastroenteritis can result in symptoms including nausea, diarrhea, stomach pain and vomiting, among others. State officials have confirmed to the Sun that no deaths had been linked to the event, and no one who attended had required hospitalization.

Dems. are concerned Trump is to unstable to handle nukes? That's a pretty big allegation.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Members of the Senate foreign affairs committee called into question a decades-old presidential authority to deploy nuclear weapons in what was the first congressional hearing on nuclear authorization in decades.

"We are concerned that the President of the United States is so unstable, is so volatile, has a decision-making process that is so quixotic that he might order a nuclear weapons strike that is wildly out of step with US national security interests," said Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Connecticut.

Sen. Ed Markey, a Democrat from Massachusetts, echoed those concerns: "Many Americans fear that the President's words could turn into nuclear reality."

Republican members of the committee were less blunt in their criticism of Trump's judgment but did seek assurance that there are legal and strategic oversight measures in place to prevent the rash use of nuclear weapons.

Ultimately, the panel warned against legislative changes to rein in the President's authority to exercise nuclear authority.

"I think hard cases make bad law, and I think if we were to change the decision-making process in some way because of a distrust of this President, I think that would be an unfortunate precedent," said Brian Mckeon, who previously served as Principal Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Policy during the Obama administration.

Retired Air Force Gen. Robert Kehler, who previously served as the commander of US Strategic Command under President Barack Obama, explained that there are layers of safeguards within the current system designed to ensure any order is both legal and proportionally appropriate.

"US nuclear forces operate under strict civilian control. Only the President of the United States can order the employment of US nuclear weapons," Kehler said at the hearing.

"This is a system controlled by human beings ... nothing happens automatically," he said, adding that the US military does not blindly follow orders and a presidential order to employ nuclear weapons must be legal.

While the President retains constitutional authority to order some military action, Kehler explained that the nuclear decision process "includes assessment, review and consultation between the President and key civilian and military leaders, followed by transmission and implementation of any Presidential decision by the forces themselves."

"If there is an illegal order presented to the military, the military is obligated to refuse to follow it," he said.

Dr. Peter Feaver, a professor of public policy and political science at Duke University, also highlighted the point that any nuclear launch would be preceded by a review and consultation process.

"The system is not a button that the President can accidentally lean on against the desk and immediately cause missiles to fly as some people in the public, I think, fear it would be," Feaver testified, adding that the decision requires the President to work with military aides who are attending him -- who have possession of the materials he needs -- and personnel at all levels from top commanders all the way down to service members working in the missile silo to carry out an order.

"The President by himself cannot press a button and cause missiles to fly. He can only give an authenticated order which others would follow and then missiles would fly," he said.

The administration has been trying to soothe concerns by arguing the existing launch process that presidents have operated under for decades has sufficient checks in place that would discourage Trump from taking imprudent action. Trump himself has had multiple briefings on the nuclear launch cycle and more conventional, non-nuclear alternatives.

winery are opening ago after the wild fires that were and the hot air balloons are flying over the winery

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A month after deadly wildfires swept through California's famed wine country, hot-air balloons are floating again over Napa Valley vineyards splashed with fall colors. On the heels of the disaster, a new winery is opening, keeping the name it chose some time ago: Ashes and Diamonds.

The fires had only a minimal effect on the area's wineries, according to the Wine Institute, an advocacy and policy group. Of the 1,200 wineries in Sonoma, Napa and Mendocino, about 10 were destroyed or heavily damaged, and 90 percent of this year's harvest already was complete, the institute said.

Most vineyards were spared due to their high moisture content, and some even helped save surrounding structures by acting as fire breaks.

But many operators are now grappling with other long-term effects from the fires that killed 43 people and wiped out 8,900 buildings: making up for losses from being closed at the busiest time of year, assessing the impact of smoke and other environmental damage on this year's vintage, and persuading tourists to return after weeks of devastating news coverage.

One of the most graphic scenes of destruction to emerge during the fires was that of the Signorello Estate winery engulfed in flames. Lost in the fire was the Napa winery's signature stone hospitality building. A kitchen, corporate offices, a wine lab and the home of owner Ray Signorello Jr. also were destroyed.

"We lost all our servers, systems, computers, the things we used to do business," Signorello said. But he plans to rebuild and is "trying to get people back to work."

At Cardinale Winery in Oakville, where just one Cabernet Sauvignon vintage is made from prized mountain appellations each year, winemaker Chris Carpenter is eyeing the grapes cautiously. He was a rare winemaker willing to say the fires' effects would be felt for years, noting there also will be environmental issues to contend with.

Only 50 percent of Cardinale's harvest was finished when the fires erupted, and he's worried about smoke tainting what remains.

"All the questions are unknown right now, and we hope to have a handle on that after fermentation," Carpenter said.

Carpenter said he had a chance to try some smoke-tainted wines in 2008, and they were not very pleasant - like a bacon-flavored wine.

"If we sense any of that, we won't bottle," he said.

Things already appeared to be returning to normal for guests at Sonoma's Gundlach Bundschu winery, where dozens of tourists soaked up the sun outside the tasting room a few weeks after the fires. Nearby blackened hills were the only visible reminder of what recently occurred.

The winery celebrated its reopening with a community party that raised $16,000 for a fund to help fire victims, said sixth-generation vintner Katie Bundschu, who oversees marketing and sales.

"It was a place to come and give each other hugs," said Bundschu, whose own family has been dealing with the loss of her parents' home.

Now the push is on to lure visitors back to the three counties, which together saw more than $3.7 billion in tourism spending in 2016.

Wineries are filling the pages of the San Francisco Chronicle with ads. "We are open and welcome you back to Napa!" read one. Some are donating their tasting room fees to wildfire relief charities.

The state's tourism commission, Visit California, is spending $2 million on an advertising campaign to encourage visitors to return.

"Tourism is the wine country's lifeblood," said president and CEO Caroline Beteta. If the groups hosting fundraisers spread their goodwill across the region, she said, "I think they will be back and running and be able to host the world as they were before."

Once people understand everything is not burned down, tourism will return within a few months, said Eric Luse, the winemaker and owner of Eric Ross Winery in Glen Ellen.

Standing outside his empty tasting room and looking at passing cars, he mused, "If you're not optimistic, you are in the wrong business."

"I have no reason to doubt these young women," Sessions told Texas Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, as she held up visual aids during a hearing of the House judiciary committee.

Jackson Lee was asking Sessions about Alabama Senate hopeful Roy Moore, who has been accused of seeking relationships with teenagers decades ago, and on Monday was accused by a woman of sexually assaulting her in her teens, also decades ago. Moore has denied all the allegations.

"Do you believe these young women?" Jackson Lee asked Sessions, prompting his response that did not go so far as to say he believed them.

Jackson Lee also asked Sessions if his Justice Department would investigate any potential crimes committed. Sessions said potential crimes related to the accusations are typically state, not federal cases, but he said his department would do its job.

"We will do our duty," Sessions said.

10 family members are sick on a Royal Caribbean cruise.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A honeymoon vacation turned into a nightmare for one family when 10 members caught a norovirus while abroad a seven-day cruise to the Bahamas, the affected Philadelphia newlyweds said.

Ashley Morris said she, her husband, her two children, her parents, nieces and sister-in-law were sickened while abroad the Royal Caribbean's Anthem of the Seas cruise last week.

"My family is suffering now," Morris told ABC Philadelphia station WPVI-TV Monday.

Morris had heard rumors aboard the ship about a fast-spreading virus on the second day of the cruise, she said. Workers in masks and protective gear were seen sanitizing the narrow hallways of the ship, according to Morris, but the virus had already began to spread.

"Some hand-sanitizing stations, they didn't have any sanitizer available to us. They were out of soap at certain sinks, there were no sanitizing stations at the elevators," Morris said of the ship that returned Sunday.

Her family accused the ship's managers of doing too little to stem the spread of the virus, which is transmitted by touching others or germ-covered surfaces.

"You call Royal Caribbean and they want medical documentation," Morris told WPVI. "They're not compensating anyone in any way until medical documentation is given."

Royal Caribbean said it was aware of 98 reported cases of gastro-intestinal illness symptoms, which represents about 2 percent of the 4,905 guests and crew were on board.

"Those affected by the short-lived illness are being treated by the ship's doctors and responded well to over-the-counter medication, and guests were encouraged to ensure hand hygiene standards remain high at all times to prevent the spread of any illness during the remainder of the cruise," Royal Caribbean said in a statement to WPVI.

"There have been numerous reports of multiple strains of gastrointestinal illnesses in the community in Australia in recent months."

Amazon is going to Middle Earth.
The streaming service on Monday announced it is bringing J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy epic to television, with a multiple season commitment.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The streaming service on Monday announced it is bringing J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy epic to television, with a multiple season commitment.

The television series will take place before the 2001 feature film "The Fellowship of the Ring," which kicked off the trilogy directed by Peter Jackson.

Amazon said in a release the deal includes potential for spin-off series as well.

"'The Lord of the Rings' is a cultural phenomenon that has captured the imagination of generations of fans through literature and the big screen," said Sharon Tal Yguado, head of scripted series for Amazon Studios. "We are honored to be working with the Tolkien Estate and Trust, HarperCollins and New Line on this exciting collaboration for television and are thrilled to be taking 'The Lord of the Rings; fans on a new epic journey in Middle Earth."

The announcement marks Amazon's first major programming announcement since the departure of former executive Roy Price.

Price resigned as head of Amazon Studios in October after accusations of sexual harassment.

Amazon's acquisition of the "Lord of the Rings" television rights sets up the streaming network to expand its genre programming.

Amazon also produces "The Man in the High Castle," an alternative history drama based on the Philip K. Dick novel. That show's third season will debut in 2018.

The company also announced last week a superhero drama from "Supernatural" creator Eric Kripke and fellow executive producers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, who will direct.

The "Lord of the Rings" films earned a combined gross of nearly $6 billion worldwide.

The cast included Elijah Wood, Viggo Mortensen, Ian McKellen, Liv Tyler, Sean Astin and Orlando Bloom.

A cast for the TV series has not yet been announced.

Jeff Session we're investigating of 27 leaks of classified information

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Justice Department is conducting 27 investigations into classified leaks of information, a threefold increase from recent years, according to attorney general Jeff Sessions.

At a House oversight hearing on Tuesday, Sessions sought to emphasize that his department is taking the leak "epidemic" seriously.

"Members of the committee, we had about nine open investigations of classified leaks in the last three years," Sessions said. "We have 27 investigations open today. We intend to get to the bottom of these leaks."

Leak investigations could result in criminal prosecutions or other punitive actions.

So far this year, the Justice Department has announced one prosecution of an individual for allegedly leaking classified information to a journalist.

But journalists and media law experts have presumed that many more investigations were taking place behind the scenes. Sessions confirmed that on Tuesday.

He said leaking has reached "epidemic proportions."

"It cannot be allowed to continue and we will do our best effort to make sure that it does not continue," Sessions said.

His statements are likely to please President Trump, who has repeatedly vented his anger over leaks, and expressed his disappointment in Sessions and the Justice Department.

Back in August, a few days after the president called Sessions "very weak" when it comes to prosecuting leakers, Sessions and his deputies announced a stepped-up effort to pursue leakers. He said "one of the things we are doing is reviewing policies affecting media subpoenas."

The Justice Department has said little about the leak hunt since then.

But newsroom leaders have been concerned.

Marty Baron, the executive editor of the Washington Post, told CNN last month that he thought the August announcement was "an effort to try to intimidate the press from doing its job."

He said it's possible that some Post reporters are ensnared in leak investigations right now, but the Post wouldn't know it unless there was a subpoena, a search warrant or "an actual leak about the leak investigation."

Later on in the hearing on Tuesday, Sessions was asked if CNN's reporting about the so-called Trump dossier is the subject of one of the 27 leak investigations. Sessions declined to answer.

The first ten months of the Trump administration have coincided with a rise in the number of leaks from government sources to reporters. Many sources have described White House infighting and incompetence. But some of the leaks have been about top-secret work and other classified matters -- triggering the DOJ's leak investigations.

Earlier this year reporters told CNN, on condition of anonymity, that "the leak hunts are getting very aggressive" and "the climate of fear surrounding the Russia investigations is off the charts."

Near the Seattle area a powerful storm hits, kills 1 and injures 5

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A woman was killed and at least five people were injured on Monday as damaging winds and heavy rain battered western Washington.

The woman, a mother in her mid-30s, died in Renton, Wash. -- about 20 minutes south of Seattle -- when a tree came crashing down on her car, according to the Renton Fire Department.

It is the first and so far only reported death caused by the strong winds and torrential rain that slammed western Washington on Monday, knocking down power lines and leaving more than 150,000 customers without electricity in the Seattle area.

At least five people were injured, including the deceased woman's sister and a 15-year-old girl in Port Orchard who was seriously hurt when a tree fell on her mobile home, authorities said.

The storm, the first of several expected to hit the Pacific Northwest this week, packed wind gusts of up to 80 mph in some parts of Washington, according to the National Weather Service. The storms are expected to bring heavy rain, mountain snow and breezy conditions through the rest of the week, the NWS said.

Winter Storm Warnings remain in effect through Tuesday afternoon, the NWS said, adding that another round of heavy mountain snow could be possible Tuesday night.

A second storm is expected to hit the Pacific Northwest late Tuesday and continue into Wednesday, bringing colder air and heavy snow to the mountain areas, including the Cascades, the Sierra Nevada and the Northern Rockies.

Seven people were shot and killed,children were wounded near California elementary school

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The wife of the California gunman whose Tuesday rampage involved seven shooting locations -- including an elementary school -- also was killed during the seemingly random spree of terror, and police believe her death may have spurred the rest of the slaughter.

Tehama County Assistant Sheriff Phil Johnston said Wednesday authorities found the body of Kevin Neal's wife in the floorboards inside their home. Neal's shooting spree killed five and wounded 10 others. Neal was ultimately killed in a shootout with police.

"We believe that's what started this whole event," Johnston said, adding officials had been searching for Neal's wife -- who was only identified as dead during a Wednesday news conference -- under suspicions that something might have happened to her.

"[We believe he] cut a hole in the floor and literally put her body in the hole," Johnston said, adding they believe she was killed Monday.

According to his mother, Neal was increasingly frustrated with an ongoing dispute with his neighbors. She told the Associated Press her son claimed his neighbors were running a methamphetamine lab with fumes that were harming his nine dogs.

She said Neal called him the day before the shooting, saying: "Mom it's all over now. I have done everything I could do and I am fighting against everyone who lives in this area."

Two of his first victims were his neighbors, police said.

Johnston said they are still trying to determine the motive behind the shooting, but that he thinks Neal "was just on a rampage and I think he had the desire to kill as many people as he could."

Authorities confirmed that Neal was out on bail for allegedly stabbing one of his neighbors in January and that they responded to his home the day before the deadly rampage on a domestic violence call.

"We have had history with him... he was not law enforcement friendly," Johnston said.

According to reports, Neal was also the subject of several neighbor complaints regarding the shooting off of hundreds of rounds of ammunition.

Brian Flint told the Record Searchlight newspaper after the shooting that his neighbor was the gunman.

"The crazy thing is that the neighbor has been shooting a lot of bullets lately, hundreds of rounds, large magazines," Flint said. "We made it aware that this guy is crazy and he's been threatening us." He added Neal stole his truck.

A day before the shooting, police were sent to Neal's home on a domestic violence call, but no other details on the matter were immediately released.

Neal's mother, who lives in Raleigh, N.C., where he was raised, said she posted his $160,000 bail and spent $10,000 on a lawyer after he was arrested in January.

According to reports, Neal was prohibited from possessing and firing weapons under his bail. Johnston said the two semi-automatic rifles used in Tuesday's shooting were "manufactured illegally by him at his home."

They were "obtained in an illegal manner; they are not registered," he added.

His sister, Sheridan Orr, told the New York Daily News her brother had "no business" owning weapons. She said he had struggled with mental illness throughout his life and at times had a violent temper, adding that he confided in his mother on an almost daily basis.

"He would get wound up and I think she spent a lot of time calming him down," she told the Daily News. "He would be irrational, irate and uncontrollable, and scream and yell. It was difficult to manage him."

Police said surveillance video shows Neal unsuccessfully trying to enter a nearby elementary school after quick-thinking staff members locked the outside doors and barricaded themselves inside when they heard gunshots.

Johnston said the gunman spent about six minutes shooting into Rancho Tehama Elementary School before driving off to continue shooting elsewhere. Johnston said one student was shot but is expected to survive.

Teen made 911 report that preceded policeman killing him, investigators say. As  a community grieves and a family has few words, Wisconsin investigators say the 911 call that preceded the police shooting of a knife-wielding Native American teen was made by the teen himself.

Ashland County Sheriff's Deputy Brock Mrdjenovich fatally shot 14-year-old Jason Ike Pero after receiving a report that a male was walking down the street with a knife in Odanah, Wisconsin, about a 4-hour drive northeast of Minneapolis.

Odanah hosts the administrative offices for the Bad River Band Of Lake Superior Tribe of Chippewa Indians, of which Pero was a member.

"Pero approached Deputy Mrdjenovich with a large butcher knife and he refused numerous commands to drop the weapon," said a report from the Wisconsin Department of Justice. "On two occasions, Pero lunged at the deputy while the deputy was attempting to retreat. Deputy Mrdjenovich fired his service weapon at Pero, striking him twice."

The middle-schooler was pronounced dead at Memorial Medical Center in Ashland.

Mrdjenovich, who has been with the sheriff's office for about a year, is on paid administrative leave. Officials say they found a knife at the scene of the shooting.

The state DOJ's investigation indicates "Pero was the same person that called 911 reporting a man with a knife, giving his own physical description," according to a news release from the agency.

A search of Pero's bedroom supports reports that the teen had been despondent for a few days before his death, the DOJ said without elaborating.

Pero left school early Wednesday after saying he was ill, School District of Ashland Superintendent Keith Hilts told CNN affiliate KBJR. Hours later, he learned Pero was dead, he said.

The eighth-grader was part of his school's drumming circle, which performed at Ashland's Veterans Day celebration. Members of the group hung a photo of Pero on an empty chair and included Pero in their song as students locked arms in solidarity, KBJR reported.

Curtis Redbird drove more than 200 miles from Black River Falls to be with his family after learning his cousin had been killed by police. Pero had a "heart of gold," Redbird told KBJR.

"Baby Jay, he was a real sweet kid. He always had a smile on his face," he said, according to the station. "Nobody can believe that this happened to him because of the way he is, the way he was."

Previously Pero's relatives had released a statement saying, "The family has no words right now," and thanking the Bad River community, its tribal council and other tribes for their support.

The state DOJ aims to turn over its reports to the Ashland County District Attorney's Office by early December.

CNN's Tony Marco contributed to this report.
