In six months the Ohio School district has had 6 teen suicides. And they are unsure what to do about it. The situation is finally being looked over after death of 15 year old freshman.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Three of the suicides occurred in a span of 11 days in January.

Police say the suicides don't look like they are linked, and the methods the children used were varied.

Chief Michael Pomesky said over the past five days, his officers have responded to more than two dozen calls concerning potential suicides or requests for police to check on someone. He said the community of Perry Township, about an hour's drive south of Cleveland, is in crisis.

"We pretty much went from no suicides to this," he said.

Porter's mother, Ashley Jones, told CNN affiliate WJW she thinks her son was bullied. Her son, worried about what four boys might do to him, had to be picked up from school one day, she told the Cleveland station.

But she had no idea her son would kill himself.

"Please tell somebody because he didn't tell us. He didn't speak. Maybe he was scared, I don't know, but if something is going on, don't be afraid to speak up," Jones told WJW.

Hayden's father, Shaun Porter, told CNN affiliate WEWS that Hayden had told him he was fine.

"Got off the bus, we talked for 30 to 45 minutes. I never thought he would've done that that day," Shaun Porter said.

The teens who have taken their own lives were 14 to 18 years old, Pomesky said.

He said about bullying: "We're aware that that is a factor in some suicides, but we have not identified that, as an agency, in these cases."

The chief implored parents to be involved.

"The most important part of this is that parents need to have conversations with their kids," he said.

Almost one in five teenagers between 15 and 19 has considered suicide, and nearly 10% have attempted it, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Among Americans between 10 and 24, suicide was the second-leading cause of death in 2015.

Some proven strategies for preventing suicide among youth include "strengthening access to and delivery of suicide care, creating protective environments, promoting youth connectedness, teaching coping and problem-solving skills, and identifying and supporting at-risk youth," Melissa C. Mercado, a behavioral scientist in the CDC's division of violence prevention, said in November.

"Suicide is a public health problem that has far-reaching consequences," she said. "Suicide impacts friends, family members, co-workers, communities and society."

Officials at a Friday news conference in Ohiosaid the 1,700 students at the high school, which is in Massillon, will be provided withan increasing number of resources.

"Know that our district will continue to work, we will not give up," Perry Local Schools Superintendent Scott Beatty said.

The six students included four high schoolers, a middle schooler and a Perry High graduate who lived in another town.

The school district, in a statement, requested members of the community help its students.

"We ask parents, residents, local organizations and everyone in the community to wrap around these young people to provide supports for those who are grieving and support for those that are dealing with difficult situations."

The district website includes a link to a help flyer that says: "You are not alone. There is help available."

An alleged drunk driver found passed out in a Tesla on a bridge in California told officers the car was on "autopilot" - an apparent bid to alleviate concerns about him being behind the wheel.

The unidentified motorist was arrested and charged with suspicion of DUI after being found unconscious on the Bay Bridge with a blood alcohol content "more than" twice the legal limit, the California Highway Patrol posted on Twitter Saturday.

"Driver explained Tesla had been set on autopilot," the post continued. "He was arrested and charged with suspicion of DUI. Car towed (no it didn't drive itself to the tow yard)."

The tweet did not indicate when the incident took place, but officers told the San Francisco Chronicle that the man was found in the stopped car at about 5:30 p.m. on Jan. 13.

"It's pretty quick that we get those calls," Officer Vu Williams of the California Highway Patrol's San Francisco division told the newspaper. "We always have units patrolling the bridge."

Tesla officials, meanwhile, said the car's autopilot function is intended for use "only with a fully attentive driver," according to a statement to the newspaper.

In September, a writer for Business Insider who reviewed Tesla's autopilot feature in Australia said he found the system to be "slightly terrifying," primarily because it runs counter to every previously held instinct behind the wheel.

"Autopilot is certainly not self-driving and can cause some anxiety while you're getting used to it," Tony Yoo said of the Tesla Model S P100D. "But once you trust the remarkable technology, you realize that autonomous vehicles are no longer science fiction and it is not just marketing hype to think that we will see it within the next few years."

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer announced Monday that he and Senate GOP leaders have reached a deal to reopen the government, and the chamber is on track to pass a plan to keep the government funded for three weeks.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The vote will come several hours after the workday for hundreds of thousands of furloughed federal employees was supposed to have begun, and comes three days after the government officially shut down Friday at midnight. Many of the shutdown's full effects were less visible during the weekend, when much of the federal workforce would typically be off anyway.

The vote was moved from 1 a.m. ET Monday to noon after it became clear Democrats would block the spending bill over disagreements on a variety of issues, most notably what do about young people affected by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.

Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn of Texas said he thought Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York agreed to push back the vote to give his caucus "a chance to chew" on a GOP proposal to break the impasse.

"It's better to have a successful vote tomorrow at noon than a failed vote tonight," Cornyn told reporters.

But a top Democratic leadership aide disputed Cornyn's assertion and said unless Republicans make significant changes to their offer, Democrats will likely reject it when the vote comes. The Democratic aide did say, however, that progress was made in the lengthy negotiations that took place late Sunday night. But more talks are needed.

GOP Sen. Jeff Flake told reporters Sunday night a bipartisan group of senators will meet again at 10 a.m. ET Monday ahead of the noon vote.

He said he was now a "yes" on the funding bill and it was his hope that six or seven more moderate Democrats would come on board to get the continuing resolution over the finish line -- to 60 votes -- to end the shutdown.

He said the Democrats still want something tangible on DACA but said it was problematic because it could run into the February 8 funding deadline.

He argued that they won a concession from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell that he isn't requiring President Donald Trump to sign off before an immigration bill moves to the floor.

"For the first time, we have the majority leader move off of we can only move something if the President agrees," Flake told reporters.

Despite Schumer's rejection of the deal, one senior GOP aide involved in the talks told CNN Republican leaders think they have a shot of picking off enough Democrats to move forward.

While McConnell's commitment falls far short of what the vast majority of Democrats want, there's some GOP hope they can get enough to move forward -- and notably split the caucus.

"This is their off-ramp," the aide said. "We'll see if they dig in or if they want a way out."

The aide also noted talks will continue and may yield more progress in the meantime.

Earlier Sunday, Trump called for Senate Republicans to change the chamber's rules to resolve the funding impasse as the government shutdown continued into its second day. He tweeted a call for McConnell to invoke the so-called "nuclear option" and thereby remove leverage for Senate Democrats.

Senate rules impose a threshold of 60 votes to break a filibuster, and Senate Republicans currently hold a slim majority of 51 votes, meaning even if they can unite their members, they need nine more votes to end debate. The White House is calling for the Senate to change its rules and move the threshold to a simple majority of 51 votes.

A spokesman for McConnell said in response to the tweet that the Senate Republican Conference does not support changing the 60-vote rule, a reiteration of Republican Senate leadership's already-stated opposition to the move Trump has called for over the past year.

A 15 year old girl was shot in Texas in the high school cafeteria

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
&#151; -- A 15-year-old girl was hospitalized after a shooting in a cafeteria at a Texas school this morning, local officials said.

The suspect, a 16-year-old male student, fired several shots from a semi-automatic handgun shortly before 8 a.m. local time at Italy High School in Italy, Texas, located about 45 miles south of Dallas, the Ellis County Sheriff's Office said.

The suspect was confronted by a staff member in the cafeteria, the sheriff's office said. He then fled and was apprehended by law enforcement.

This aerial image shows the area around the school in Italy, Texas, Jan. 22, 2018.

Police officers respond to the scene of a reported shooting at a high school in a small town south of Dallas, Jan. 22, 2018.

The victim was transported by air ambulance, the sheriff's office said. Her condition is unknown.

No one else was injured, officials said, adding that all students have been accounted for.

The handgun was recovered at the scene, officials said.

The sheriff's office said students were moved to another campus and are in the process of being reunited with their families.

"This morning's tragedy hits the heart of this community," superintendent Lee Joffre said at a news conference this afternoon. "Our staff acted as trained and addressed the situation in the best way they could."

Joffre said school will resume as scheduled Tuesday, adding that grief counselors will be available.

Tennessee restaurant gives discounts to government employees during shutdown

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A restaurant in Knoxville, TN, was offering discounts to government employees during the government shutdown on Saturday.

Holly's Gourmets Market and Cafe made the decision to offer the 10 percent meal discount as a way to help "support" the community.
DC BAR OFFERS SHUTDOWN COCKTAILS
"To come to the support of our neighbors and offer a little incentive to come in and have breakfast," restaurant owner Holly Hambright said to WBIR. "And take a little bit of the pain away if they got furloughed."

Hambright tells the news station, the restaurant is offering the discount to both Tennessee government employees - who are not currently impacted by the federal shutdown - and federal employees who are affected.

"I'm not trying to politicize anything, I'm just trying to be a good neighbor and help some of our neighbors out that might be affected."

The government shutdown officially went into effect 12:01 a.m. Saturday, and still remains shut Sunday. The last time the United States had a government shutdown was in 2013, which lasted for 16 days.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has promised a vote to end the shutdown by 1 a.m. Monday morning. If it continues, hundreds of thousands of federal workers from different government programs could be furloughed.

Mourning military families won't get government death benefits.

The first two military families who will not receive death benefits because of the government shutdown have been named.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
1st Lt. Clayton R. Cullen, of Indiana, and Chief Warrant Officer 2 (CW2) Kevin F. Burke, of California, who were both assigned to the 4th Combat Aviation Brigade, 4th Infantry Division, were killed on Saturday when their Apache helicopter crashed in a training accident at Fort Irwin, California.

"Under a government shutdown, the Department of Defense has no authority to pay death benefits to these families," chief Pentagon spokesperson Dana White told CNN on Sunday. A US defense official confirmed to CNN that the families of the Fort Irwin crash will not receive the emergency $100,000 death benefit.

As well as the payment, the benefits include funeral and burial reimbursements. It also includes a gratuity for travel to funeral or memorial services -- or to Dover Air Force Base, where the bodies of troops who die overseas are typically sent.

"We are all deeply saddened by the deaths of 1st Lt. Clayton R. Cullen and Chief Warrant Officer 2 Kevin F. Burke," said Col. Scott Gallaway, commander, 4th CAB, 4th Inf. Div. "These gentlemen exemplified all the attributes we expect from our very best leaders. They were selfless, mission focused, and committed to their teammates. Our heartfelt prayers and condolences go out to Clayton's and Kevin's Families. These two young leaders left an indelible mark on the entire Iron Eagle team. We will forever be better Soldiers, and a more combat-ready aviation brigade, due to their leadership."

The cause of Saturday's crash is under investigation.

On Sunday, a Maryland-based charity promised to ensure the families of fallen troops will be paid survivor benefits during the shutdown. The Fisher House Foundation will ensure benefits including the $100,000 payment will be paid within days of a death, Fisher House spokesperson Kerri Childress told CNN.

Childress told CNN on Monday that they have not yet been contacted by the Department of Defense regarding the two soldiers killed Saturday.

Doughnut-eating contest winner arrested for breaking into Dunkin' Donuts

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A man who was celebrated for winning a police-sponsored doughnut eating contest - then nabbed for crimes the next day - was arrested again after he allegedly robbed a North Carolina Dunkin' Donuts, police said.

Bradley Hardison, 27, was charged Thursday with felony breaking and entering, felony safe cracking and felony larceny at the popular coffee chain last November, The Virginian-Pilot reported.

It's unclear if he took any doughnuts at the time of the alleged break-in.

Hardison was held on a $7,000 bond for the most recent charges.

But three years before he was an accused Dunkin' Donuts thief, Hardison gained national attention after he devoured eight doughnuts in two minutes, according to the report. He beat out firefighters and police officers, who held the 2014 contest to promote the National Night Out Against Crime.

Ironically, Hardison was arrested the next day on charges of breaking into two grocery stores. Camden County Sheriff's Office said the timing of the arrest was just a coincidence.

Hardison was convicted on charges that included felony breaking and entering and was sentenced to a suspended sentence of three years in jail that ended last October - a month before his latest crime.

A major storm is moving through the Central Plains and Upper Midwest today, bringing heavy snow and icy conditions to parts of those regions.blizzards warnings have been posted from eastern Colorado to southern Minnesota, while storm warnings and weather advisories were in effect from eastern Colorado to northern Michigan, according to the National Weather Service.

A major storm is expected to move toward the Central Plains and Upper Midwest today, bringing heavy snow and icy conditions to parts of those regions.

Blizzard warnings have been posted from eastern Colorado to southern Minnesota, while storm warnings and weather advisories were in effect from eastern Colorado to northern Michigan, according to the National Weather Service (NWS).

Weather advisories were also issued for parts of northern New England and the area could see a bit of snow and ice from the storm system by this evening, the NWS said.

The storm is forecast to move north and east today, bringing a swath of heavy snow to the upper Midwest and dumping snow near Sioux Falls, Sioux City, and the southern Minneapolis suburbs. Wind gusts could range between 30 and 50 mph in some spots during the day, resulting in near-blizzard conditions and dangerously low visibility.

"Widespread snow and rain will continue to spread across the central and northern states as a winter storm lifts northeast through the Midwest today and through the Northeast by Wednesday," the National Weather Service said in a statement today. "The snow will be heavy at times over portions of the Central Plains and Upper Mississippi Valley throughout the day before tapering off over the Central Plains tonight.

"Snow will develop over the Upper Great Lakes and northern New England this afternoon and will expand south and east to the lower lakes and Northeast continuing into Tuesday and Wednesday," it added.

Heavy snow is also expected in parts of Iowa, southern Minnesota, and northern Wisconsin into this evening's rush hour, meteorologists said.

The storm has already blanketed areas near Denver, with several inches of snow Sunday, causing treacherous travel and road conditions.

Many roadways in eastern Colorado, including large parts of Interstate 70, were closed because of icy road conditions, meteorologists said.

About 200 flights have been canceled at Denver International Airport, representing about 15 percent of its daily operations, because of heavy snow.

The Denver airport received about 6 inches of snow, while some of the hillsides saw totals closer to about 10 inches.

The storm moved eastward and into Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, South Dakota and Minnesota Sunday evening, hitting cities like St. Francis, Kansas, with as much as 7.5 inches of snow, while Imperial, Nebraska, got about 6.5 inches and Edgemont, South Dakota, saw as much as 11 inches.

Right now, the heaviest of the snow is over much of Nebraska and extends toward extreme southern Minnesota. Snowfall rates in the region will approach 1 inch per hour this morning, with possible sustained winds of around 30 mph.

Some snow and wintry mix are also expected for extreme northern New England today and this evening. Accumulations will be minimal but could affect area roadways.

Hardison was convicted on charges that included felony breaking and entering and was sentenced to a suspended sentence of three years in jail that ended last October - a month before his latest crime.

Richard and Robin Kinley are among the retirees who move to Florida every year.

However, this couple gets to watch the sunset every night over a lake that's named after them - Lake Kinley.

The sustainable Babcock Ranch, just north of Fort Myers, Florida, was built to be America's first solar-powered town, and the Kinleys were the first to purchase a home and move in.

"It reminded me of the first time I saw my future wife many years ago," Richard told ABC News of his first visit to Babcock Ranch's model homes a year ago.

They are the town's first residents as of Jan. 4th, even though the community's official grand opening is in March.

Babcock Ranch was designed with sustainability in mind - from a solar energy plant to autonomous transit.

"We set out some eight years ago to become the first solar powered town in America," said Syd Kitson, the CEO of by Kitson & Partners, who bought the land in 2006 - all 91,000 acres of it.

But 73,000 acres of that purchase was sold to the state of Florida for preservation of the wetlands and wildlife, like the Florida panther.

"It was the largest land purchase by the state in the history of Florida," said Kitson.

Of the remaining 18,000 acres, only half became the Babcock Ranch, which is now one of the greenest communities in America, while the other half was used for further preservation of land.

Jim and Donna Aveck, retirees living in Punta Gorda, Florida, heard Kitson talk at a conference about the town he wanted to build back in 2006 after he purchased the land.

"We looked at each other and said, 'That's where we want to live,'" Donna told ABC News, adding that they're downsizing from their last home because they want to lower their carbon footprint.

As the second residents of the town, the couple also had a lake named after them - Lake James.

"We chose James because it has a nice ring to it," said Donna. "Lake Jim or Aveck just didn't have the same ring."

The draw of the budding community was a big factor for the future homeowners.

"We want this to be a multi-generational community, not just for empty nesters, but for young people and families," explained Kitson. "In order to attract that, we started with the school."

The K-6 public charter school is fully subscribed with students and opened last August, even without people living in the neighborhood.

In fact, the town center has opened a restaurant and clothing store so far, with a coffee shop, co-working space, health and wellness center, and ice cream parlor on the way.

Another school, K-8, is also being built and expected to open with the start of the next school year.

Ten years of planning went into the town before the builders turned dirt two years ago.

"[We took] initiative to say that if we're going to build something, we're going to do it the right way," said Kitson.

He wanted to prove that environmental responsibility and development can go hand in hand, with one of those features being solar energy.

During the day, the solar plant is built to generate more energy than the town consumes, while at night, the town is powered by a nearby natural gas plant.

"The whole sustainability idea is the closest I can get to guilt free living," said Richard, a self-proclaimed technophile, who owns a Tesla that he can charge at one of Babcock Ranch's stations.

The couple is also in awe of the autonomous shuttle, which is one of 65 in the world, and Donna said that she is excited to take a ride on it.

The driverless shuttle has 8 censors and uses GPS to get around the community.

Right now, a driver is assigned to the vehicle because it still in the testing phase.

Kitson started looking into autonomous vehicles six years ago and hopes to have a fleet of shuttles available in the coming years, the CEO said.

The shuttle will eventually be able to respond to requests for pick-up via an app in an Uber-like fashion, he added.

"When you go get to get approval for a new town, there is no box that says 'new town' and you check that box," said Kitson. "We were very fortunate that we had a great county that stepped up and worked closely with us."

The starting price for a home here is $185,999 but can go upwards of $750,000.

Every house is equipped with fiber optic cable that runs underground.

"I'm still dancing around about the internet," said Donna. "It's so fast."

The fiber optic cable gives residents high speed connection to keep up with the tech advancements of the future, said Kitson.

"[The amount of] homes sold changes daily," said Kitson, saying that they've already sold close to 80.

All of the homes have a porch and are close to the sidewalk, making it easy for the residents to connect with each other.

"As soon as we move in, I'm sure we will be getting together with the Kinleys to go to the restaurant," said Donna.

The Kinleys are excited about their incoming neighbors.

"I think we have met more of our future neighbors than the neighbors we had back in Atlanta," said Richard. "It's very intentional move to come this place. There will a lot of people with like-minded thinking about sustainability."

And more residents are moving in within the coming weeks to enjoy the 50 miles of hiking trails through the preserved land, community gardens and events, yoga classes, and lake house - all apart of the Babcock Ranch lifestyle.

"Every day that goes by it seems more and more like fate," said Richard of living in his new, Lake Kinley-front home.
