midwest flooding leaves devastation and houses ruined.- at least 3 dead.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Flash flood warnings were issued for Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas through Thursday, according to the National Weather Service, and the governors of Indiana, Missouri and Ohio issued states of emergency due to the possibility of further flooding.

A long-term forecast for the Ohio River Valley shows possible heavy rain Wednesday night into Thursday. Much of the heavy rain will stay south of Kentucky, across Tennessee and northern regions of Gulf Coast states, according to the National Weather Service, which also predicts around one-half to three-quarters of an inch of rain falling across southern Indiana and northern Kentucky. South-central Kentucky could see 1 to 1.5 inches of rain.

Last week's heavy rains have kept much of the central, southern and Great Lakes region river systems in flood stage, the weather service said. More rain is expected across the lower and mid-Mississippi and Tennessee River valleys Tuesday and Wednesday, which will worsen the ongoing flood threat.

The flooding is blamed for the deaths of three people in Michigan and Kentucky.

The body of a 1-year-old girl was found in standing water February 21 in Sheridan, Michigan. Police said the water was due to rain and melting snow runoff.

Two people died in Kentucky and Michigan February 25.

A person was found in a submerged vehicle in a ditch, Union County, Kentucky, authorities said, and a man was found dead in floodwaters in Kalamazoo, Michigan, according to the city's Department of Public Safety. The man's car was found nearby submerged in water.

In Louisville, Kentucky, Metropolitan Sewer District Manager Wes Sydnor said 21 billion gallons of water has been pumped and the department received more than 1,500 calls to customer relations over the weekend. The department usually receives 100 calls a day.

Kansas drops Texas to celebrate 14th straight Big 12 crown

Kansas sent its seniors out in style on Monday at Allen Fieldhouse, securing the outright Big 12 title, its historic 14th straight league crown.

LAWRENCE, Kan. -- Kansas players heard the doubters even before they twice lost two Big 12 games in a single month this season. Earlier, the Jayhawks suffered consecutive nonconference defeats.

"Everyone was taking the field instead of Kansas," senior guard Clay Young said. "I think our guys really took that to heart."

The field lost again this year, smothered by the courtside pressure at Allen Fieldhouse and a late-season KU surge that produced an outright Big 12 title on Monday night, courtesy of a 80-70 victory over Texas in this penultimate game of the regular season.

Sixth-ranked Kansas (24-6, 13-4) secured the top seed at the league tournament next month and punctuated its 14th straight conference crown -- an NCAA record it had shared with UCLA teams of the 1960s and '70s -- in resounding style on Senior Night.

The Jayhawks clinched a share of the title this past Saturday with a two-point win at upstart Texas Tech.

They celebrated the accomplishment Monday at home, sweetened by the longer-than-usual odds that Kansas appeared to face at midseason.

"It's been a grind," two-time All-Big 12 guard Devonte' Graham said. "There were a lot of people who doubted and kind of lost faith in us. We went through some rough patches. Through it all, we kept grinding and kept believing in each other.

"We didn't want to be that team to end the streak, as we always say."

Coach Bill Self, in his 15th season, often preaches exactly those words to his players, emphasizing the selfless approach necessary to finish no lower than in a tie for first in the league standings over parts of three presidential administrations.

The Jayhawks haven't lost twice to the same league team in a regular season since Iowa State did it to them in 2000-01, a trend Self's team will seek to extend Saturday in the finale at Oklahoma State. And since the Jayhawks failed to win at least a share of the Big 12 title in 2003-04, 219 other Division I teams have won or shared a conference crown.

"It's bigger than us," Graham said, echoing his coach. "It's the whole Jayhawk Nation. ... There's a lot of pressure to lead the team in the right way down the path."

The seniors led KU on Monday against Texas (17-13, 7-10), shorthanded as freshman star Mohamed Bamba sat because of an injured toe. Guard Eric Davis was withheld for a second straight game after a Yahoo! Sports report detailed his connection to the college basketball scandal under investigation by the FBI.

Back-to-back 3-pointers by seniors Graham and Svi Mykhailiuk ignited a 16-0 run midway through the first half that gave control to Kansas. In building a 45-32 lead at halftime, KU showed many of the characteristics that allowed it to win five straight after losses to Oklahoma State and Baylor in two of three games to open February.

Notably, sophomore center Udoka Azubuike was nearly unstoppable without the presence of the 6-foot-11 Bamba on the interior for Texas. Azubuike, leading the nation in field goal percentage at 77.7 percent, made his first 10 shots. He's made 38 of 43 attempts over six games.

"This whole ride, it's been special," said Young, who received an ovation when he took the court with 26.1 seconds to play on Monday. "It's the school. It's the Fieldhouse. It's the program. It's the family that we have on this basketball team."

Mykhailiuk, the Ukrainian sharpshooter who scored 17 in his Kansas home finale, forms a difficult-to-defend duo with Graham in March. They bonded over four years. Graham helped teach Mykhailiuk to speak English.

As March neared, Mykhailiuk said, urgency among the Jayhawks rose. On Feb. 17, before KU came from behind to beat West Virginia and Texas Tech lost by a bucket at Baylor, the Red Raiders had a 75 percent chance to win the league, according to ESPN's BPI. A win for Tech would have bumped that percentage to 84.

What were the Jayhawks thinking at the time?

"We can't lose it," Mykhailiuk said.

Self addressed the crowd after the finish on Monday.

"This has been up and down," the coach said. "It's been challenging. We've been great. We've been not very great. But the bottom line is this: These guys know how to compete."

According to Young, a local kid from Lansing, Kansas, Graham and Mykhailiuk "get it." Some of the younger Jayhawks do not yet, Young said.

If history is an indicator, though, they will when their time comes to lead.

"It means a lot, honestly," Young said of the Big 12 title. "This one was pretty sweet. The reaction I've seen from students and people around town, it's different. It's not the same as it was the past two years. Maybe part of it that is because it's an NCAA record now.

"The bigger part of it is because so many people thought we wouldn't win it this year. Coach Self spoke with us about the importance that this 14th one would have. They'll remember all those teams that won the eighth, ninth, 10th, whatever, but the team that won the 14th, that's a pretty special one."

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Four puppies are on the mend after coming to a metro animal shelter covered in latex paint.

Police responded to a call at a Kansas City home this weekend and found the four pit bull puppies.

Now they're in the care of KC Pet Project as the shelter helps them recover, and a man at the home is facing domestic violence and animal abuse charges.

Veterinarians couldn't use chemicals to remove the paint, so instead they had to shave the pit bull mixes.

"This is just one of those cases where they come in and we are perplexed by this story as all of the viewers out there," said Tori Fugate with KC Pet Project. "It's a really, really sad thing."

The dogs have some medical issues, but KC Pet Project hopes they can be put up for adoption as early as this week.

Bollywood actress was in Dubai for her nephews wedding and she was found dead in her hotel bathtub Saturday morning. Police say that she drowned but she has had a heart attack before, so her death could have been either of those things.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Bollywood actress Sridevi died over the weekend after she drowned in a hotel bathtub in Dubai, despite initial reports stating that she went into cardiac arrest at a family wedding. She was 54.

Sridevi, said to be Bollywood's first female superstar who is known only by her first name, was in Dubai for her nephew's wedding when she was found dead Saturday evening, the BBC reported. Dubai police confirmed on Tuesday the actress' cause of death was "due to drowning in her hotel apartment's bathtub following loss of consciousness."

"As per the forensic report, the death of the Indian actress occurred due to accidental drowning following loss of consciousness. The case has now been closed," Dubai police tweeted.

Two police officials also told The Associated Press that Sridevi was under the influence of alcohol at the time of her death.

Her brother-in-law Sanjay Kapoor had told an Indian newspaper that she died of a cardiac arrest. It's unclear how cardiac arrest was linked to the accidental drowning.

Sridevi's body is expected to be embalmed before it will be flown in India for her funeral. Anil Ambani, a wealthy Mumbai-based industrialist, dispatched a private plane to Dubai to carry Sridevi's body back home, according to Indian media.

Mourners also gathered outside the actress' Mumbai home in India following the news of her death.

The 54-year-old's death made international headlines and was front-page news in India. She was the most famous Bollywood actress of the 1980s and '90s, and the first female superstar to get top billing in an industry then completely dominated by men.

She began her acting career at 4 years old in south Indian regional movies, she became known as an adult for her impeccable comic timing as well as her dancing skills - a serious asset in a country where song-and-dance melodramas are a movie staple.

She appeared in nearly 300 films in the span of five decades.

Ensa Cosby, daughter of Bill Cosby, dies at 44.Bill Cosby's daughter Ensa has died from renal disease, Cosby spokesman Andrew Wyatt told CNN.She was 44.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
"The Cosby Family thanks many people for their prayers for their beloved and beautiful Ensa, who recently died from renal disease," read a statement from the family obtained by CNN.

Renal disease is a condition that impairs kidney function.

Ensa Cosby voiced strong support for her father after he was accused of sexual assault, saying she believed he was innocent.

Last May, Ensa and her sister Erinn released audio statements in support of their famous father.

"I believe that racism has played a big role in all aspects of this scandal," Ensa Cosby wrote.

"My father has been publicly lynched in the media," she said. "My family, my young daughter, my young niece and nephew have had to stand helplessly by and watch the double standards of pretending to protect the rights of some, but ignoring the rights of others and exposing innocent children to such appalling accusations about someone they love dearly and who has been so loving and kind to them is beyond cruel."

The elder Cosby has denied the allegations.

Despite her father's fame, Ensa Cosby led a life away from the spotlight.

She is one of five children born to the superstar actor and his wife, Camille.

The couple's only son, Ennis, was murdered at the age of 27 in 1997 during a failed robbery attempt.

A man has gone to ink-redible lengths to cover his entire body in black tattoos, including his eyeballs and the inside of his lips.

Eli Ink, a 27-year-old tattoo artist from Brighton, England, has undergone a 10-year transformation to turn himself into a walking exhibition of his tats.

Ink uses several coats of black coloring to permanently blacken his skin. He also implanted huge stretchers in his nose and under his bottom lip as part of his body-modification process.

The artist even went as far as dying his eyes to complete the striking look.

"In my opinion, the only person who will only ever understand my transition properly is me. I don't attempt to describe it to anyone," he told the Daily Mail.

"I've always been blown away by art itself," added Ink. "Picasso is a huge childhood inspiration to me, especially abstract art, but I do like all forms of art. Body art was just the next local step for me growing up.

"I wanted to look like an abstract character in one of Picasso's paintings. I love the abstract look, no thought, just pure expression."

Tattooing the whites of eyeballs involves delicately injecting ink between two layers of the sclera of the eye and letting it spread out.

Ink admitted there can be horrifying consequences if the procedure goes wrong.

"That's the risk you take letting anyone near your eyes, even trained surgeons can make mistake. Body modification is a risk-taker's lifestyle."
IS 'GLAM-SHAMING' ACTUALLY A REAL THING
Despite his extreme appearance, he claims his love life has not been affected by the tats.

He says his girlfriend Holly, another body-mod enthusiast, is madly in love with him.

Ink is also not bothered by negative reactions to his work.

"The best is always nice compliments, that's always nice to hear, either from tattoo collectors or just passersby; the worst is always [the] older generation looking down on you and making you feel worthless."

Before all the body-modification, Ink ran his own gardening company, only experimenting with drawing and painting in his spare time.

He later became a full-time tattooist and joined the body-modification subculture, which pays homage to tribal rituals.

About his project, he said: "I will never be finished. It will take me the rest of my life to finish my studies but I am dedicating the rest of my life to body modification and perfecting my work."

The central of the US is getting ready for another storm, some massive flooding. Huge rainstorms have been issued from northern Texas up through Tennessee. The Ohio River near Louisville crested at 35.64 feet, Ouachita River in Camden, Arkansas, is expected to crest this morning and may causing flooding near the town. On Wednesday, the strong thunderstorms will dump even more heavy rain and damaging winds from Texas to Mississippi.

Just what the central U.S. doesn't need: another huge rainstorm.

As much of the central U.S. copes with overflowing rivers this week from recent heavy rainfall, another storm is on the way to region. New flood warnings and watches have been issued from Northeast Texas up through Tennessee in anticipation of the heavy rain.

The Ohio River near Louisville crested at 35.64 feet, the 10th-highest on record. It's expected to recede over the next few days. The Ouachita River in Camden, Arkansas, is expected to crest this morning and may causing flooding near the town.

Many points along the Ohio and Mississippi River in the region are seeing moderate to major river flooding. Authorities in Kentucky were unable to save a 69-year-old man whose vehicle was swept off a roadway by surging floodwaters.

A developing storm tonight will begin dumping more rain from Indiana to Alabama. On Wednesday, the strong thunderstorms will dump even more heavy rain and damaging winds from Texas to Mississippi. A brief tornado will be possible.

States including Arkansas and Mississippi, already saturated, may see another 4-5 inches of rain over the next few days, further aggravating bulging rivers.

As that storm system moves eastward, it will eventually head toward the East Coast and likely explode over the Atlantic Ocean. By late Thursday and Friday, there's still potential for a strong coastal storm in parts of New England.

Rain and snow are moving through California today, as parts of Sacramento already received 1-2 inches of hail.

In the mountains east of Los Angeles, snow is falling this morning. Higher elevations may see 2-4 inches, with 8 inches in parts of the San Gabriels. Winter weather advisories and warnings in the region are expected to remain in place for most of today

The home invader was going to have to speak up.

Doris Rucker Wasden, 99, was sleeping when a man entered her house and came hurtling into her bedroom. It was sometime after 1 a.m. Saturday in West Valley City, Utah, a suburb of Salt Lake City.

For nearly two hours, the armed intruder held her hostage.
Subscribe to the Post Most newsletter: Today's most popular stories on The Washington Post
Officers from the Unified Police Department of Greater Salt Lake arrived quickly. They had been trailing the man after he allegedly fled a nearby shooting.

At the home Wasden shared with her granddaughter, CJ Montoya, and her granddaughter's fiance, Jim Gabbard, the suspect shot out a sliding-glass door to enter, the Deseret News reported. Montoya and Gabbard were awakened by the noise. As Gabbard investigated, he came face to face with the suspect, who was pointing a gun at him.

"He said, 'Give me your car keys or I'm going to kill you,' " Gabbard told local news station KSL.

The couple somehow managed to run from the gunman toward a door, where police pulled them outside. Officers told the couple they couldn't go back for Wasden for safety reasons, the couple told KSL.

So the elderly woman was left alone with the intruder, while a SWAT team surrounded the home and hostage negotiators tried to make contact with the suspect.

Inside, the intruder yanked Wasden out of her bed, leaving her on the floor "on my bum," she told Fox 13. He returned to her bedroom a short time later to find her back in bed.

"He tried to talk to me," she told Fox 13, "but I said, 'I can't hear you. I can't hear you.' Then he realized I was a very old woman, so he was pretty nice to me after that."

It was only after she scolded him for making a mess in her home that he let her go, Gabbard told KSL. Wasden and the couple had tidied up the place up in preparation for her 100th birthday party next week.

"He was riffling through her drawers, making a mess, spilling things all over and she has her 100th birthday party one week from today," Gabbard said. "And her words to him were, 'I just had this house cleaned for my party and you're messing it up. You better knock it off.' "

Police identified the suspect as Freddy Alexander Velasquez, 18, who was apprehended after he allegedly attempted to flee the home in a car parked inside the family's garage. He was charged with six felonies, including aggravated assault, aggravated burglary, aggravated kidnapping, aggravated robbery, felony discharge of a firearm and receiving or transferring a stolen vehicle, according to Salt Lake County jail records.

"I never felt afraid of him. But I and the dog were a little shaky," Wasden told Fox 13 of her small talk with the intruder.

No one was injured in the earlier shooting that prompted police to chase Velasquez, Lt. Brian Lohrke of the Unified Police Department told WTKR.

According to jail records, Velasquez was wanted for escaping from custody in November. Authorities said he escaped a Weber County jail work program. He had been incarcerated for assaulting another inmate at a youth detention center in Ogden, according to the Deseret News. It was not immediately clear why he was in juvenile detention, as those records are generally not public.

Wasden and Gabbard told KSL and Fox 13 that they held no bad feelings toward the suspect. And that Wasden's 100th birthday party will go on as scheduled.

Velasquez has yet to file a plea.

King Mohammed VI of Morocco has undergone a medical operation in France for an irregular heartbeat.

A statement Monday from his personal doctor and a French-Moroccan medical team said the 54-year-old king underwent examinations at the Ambroise Pare Clinic near Paris that revealed an atrial flutter. An atrial flutter is a non-life-threatening condition in which the heart beats less efficiently.

The statement, carried by state news agency MAP, said the six-doctor team successfully performed a radiofrequency ablation. The procedure applies energy to the area to destroy tissue linked to the irregular heartbeat.

The king will take a "rest period" before returning to his normal activities, the statement said, without indicating how long.

Mohammed VI had eye surgery last year, but he has not been publicly known to have heart problems.

Jennifer Lawrence said during her Vanity Fair interview, how disgusting it is that Hillary Clinton chastised Trump supporters. Lawrence supported Clinton during her 2016 campaign election and she herself also chastised Trump, which she now regrets. Lawrence has now come out saying that celebrities need to keep their opinions to themselves. Lawrence sated. "Twenty-five percent of America identifies as liberal and I need more than 25 percent of Americans to see my movies."

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Jennifer Lawrence said it was "disgusting" how Hillary Clinton attacked Trump supporters and admitted it is "not wise" for celebrities to speak about politics because it hurts their careers.

"The Democrats made a huge mistake by chastising the Trump supporters, and that was disgusting to me," the Oscar-winning actress said in an interview with Vanity Fair in its March issue.

"Of course they're not going to vote for Hillary Clinton; they're going to vote for Donald Trump. You laughed at them when their plight is very real," she said.

Lawrence, who supported Clinton during the 2016 presidential election, said Trump was "a big powerful man in a nice suit, pointing at you and going, 'I'm going to make you rich.' It's so appealing."

But the outspoken actress admitted that wading into politics is not the best path for celebrities to take. "I've always thought that it was a good idea to stay out of politics," Lawrence told the magazine.

"Twenty-five percent of America identifies as liberal and I need more than 25 percent of America to go see my movies. It's not wise, career-speaking, to talk about politics," she said, but added that "When Donald Trump got sworn into office, that f-----g changed."
JENNIFER LAWRENCE TO QUIT ACTING FOR A YEAR TO 'FIX OUR DEMOCRACY'
The actress has previously criticized Trump in 2015, long-before he was sworn into office, saying, "If Donald Trump becomes president that will be the end of the world."

Since Trump took office, she suggested the devastating hurricanes in Texas and Florida last year were signs of "Mother Nature's rage and wrath" at the U.S. for electing Trump and not believing in man-made climate change.

"You know, you're watching these hurricanes now, and it's really hard, especially while promoting this movie, not to feel Mother Nature's rage and wrath," she said back in September.

Lawrence admitted in the Vanity Fair interview that her family are not keen to see her talking about politics. "My family obviously hates every time I talk about politics because it's hard to see your kid get criticized and they live in Kentucky, where nobody is really liking what I'm saying," she said.

As critics have taken aim at law enforcement for missing warning signs about South Florida school shooter Nikolas Cruz, public records have emerged that conflict with Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel's statements about the number of times deputies were dispatched to the shooter's home.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Records obtained from the sheriff's office by CNN show the law enforcement agency received at least 45 calls for service relating to Cruz or his brother from 2008 to 2017, before the attack at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland on Feb. 14. The sheriff's office has insisted it received no more than 23 calls for service regarding Cruz or his family.

CNN has repeatedly asked the sheriff's office to explain the discrepancy, sending emails and attempting to reach an agency representative by phone. The agency has not responded to those requests with an explanation.

On Feb. 15, CNN received a Broward County Sheriff's Office log based on a public records request showing 39 calls from Cruz's house over a six-year period. During CNN's town hall on the Parkland school shooting last Wednesday, NRA representative Dana Loesch confronted Sheriff Israel about those 39 calls, though she inaccurately described them as being 39 visits from police in one year.

The next day, at a press conference in the wake of growing public criticism, Israel said his agency "has been involved in 23 type calls involving the killer in some way, shape or form -- or his brother."

On Saturday, the sheriff's office reiterated that lower figure, releasing this public statement: "Since 2008, BSO responded to 23 incidents where previous contact was made with the killer or his family. STOP REPORTING 39; IT'S SIMPLY NOT TRUE." That day, he made the same claim in a letter to the governor.

However, based on logs of the original calls and additional records since obtained from the agency, CNN has found that the Broward County Sheriff's Office actually received 45 calls in the past decade related to the Cruz home, Nikolas Cruz or his brother -- even more than previously thought.

The documents in question include call logs from the law enforcement agency's "computer aided dispatch" system. The records list police calls from the home at 6166 Northwest 80th Terrace in Parkland, Florida, which was the home owned by Nikolas Cruz's mother during that time period, according to property deeds.

Each listed police call has a unique identifying number, dispatch date and time, and description. The descriptions include mentions of a "mentally ill person," "child/elderly abuse," "domestic disturbance," "missing person," and more. The vast majority of the calls resulted in "no written report."

A CNN review of the records shows that at least 19 calls relate to Nikolas Cruz, starting when he was as young as 9 years old. An additional 25 calls regarded only his younger brother, Zachary, for behavior ranging from running away to hitting his mother. A final one is ambiguous about which boy it involves.

Several calls involving Nikolas were not cited on an original list of 39 calls related to the Cruz home, but were detailed in a separate document released by the sheriff's office last week. One of the original calls turned out to involve a neighbor.

Calls relating to Nikolas Cruz include descriptions of fights with his brother, cursing at his mother, and throwing her against the wall for taking away his Xbox. The issues brought to the sheriff's attention worsen over time. In 2014, someone accused him of shooting a chicken with a BB gun.

Records show that in 2016, a neighbor warned the sheriff's office of an Instagram post in which Cruz said he "planned to shoot up the school." This week, Joelle Guarino told CNN she placed the 911 call and had begged the sheriff's office to intervene. She was told there was nothing deputies could do until Cruz actually did something, she said.

Later that year, an unidentified peer counselor alerted the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School's school resource deputy that Cruz "possibly" drank gasoline "in an attempt to commit suicide," was "cutting himself," and "wished to purchase a gun." An investigator with Florida's Department of Children and Families spoke to Cruz, but his therapist ultimately advised that he was "not currently a threat to himself or others" and did not need to be committed.

On November 1, the day his mother died, Broward Sheriff's Office received a call from Lynda Cruz's cousin, who warned deputies that Cruz had rifles and pleaded for them to "recover these weapons." On November 30, the sheriff's office received a call from a tipster in Massachusetts who warned them Cruz was "collecting guns and knives," and "could be a school shooter in the making." Records show the deputy "referred caller to the Palm Beach Sheriff's Office," which had jurisdiction over Cruz's temporary home with a family friend. Within days, Cruz was back south in Broward County staying with another friend's family.

On Sunday morning, Sheriff Israel appeared on CNN's State of the Union program. Anchor and chief Washington correspondent Jake Tapper asked Israel if he takes "any responsibility for the multiple red flags" that were brought to the agency's attention.

"Jake, I can only take responsibility for what I knew about. I exercised my due diligence. I have given amazing leadership to this agency," Israel replied.

Since the attack, which killed 17, there have been multiple calls for the sheriff, a Democrat, to resign from his elected post. On Saturday, Florida State Rep. Bill Hager (R-Boca Raton) urged the governor to relieve Israel for "gross incompetence." On Sunday, Florida Speaker of the House Richard Corcoran (R-Land O'Lakes), wrote a letter to the governor citing the department's "failures to intervene" with Nikolas Cruz that are "unacceptable and unforgivable."

After hearing her boyfriend shot and killed in their home, the girlfriend of Jamon Thomas sat hiding in the attic with her infant as his alleged killer walked through the house.

The apparent second stop for 27-year-old parolee George Anthony Davis during his deadly crime spree Monday was at his cousin's home on Faust.

"I woke up to gunshots then I heard Jamon saying 'I'm your cousin, I'm your cousin,'" Shatika Yates said.

Davis' 22-year-old cousin Jamon Thomas shared the home with his girlfriend Shatika Yates and their 6-month-old daughter.

"I heard two shots go off. I grabbed my baby and ran upstairs in the attic," she said.

Polices say Davis shot Thomas several times, not long after killing three people at a gas station on Fenkell -- Davis's girlfriend, her father and their neighbor. Yates says she hid in the dark attic with her baby Jordan, as she heard Davis's footsteps coming closer.

"I was saying to myself like please, please, I thought he was going to find me but he didn't," she said.

Breathing a sigh of relief, Yates said she heard Davis leave and she looked out the top window to see Davis drive off in her car. Yates says she called police and ran down to see if her boyfriend of two years was still alive.

"Jamon was on the floor gasping for air. I kneeled down and said hold on, hold on Jamon," she said.

Watching Jamon take his last breath, Yates says she ran to Rite Aid across the street for safety and called Thomas's family.

Thomas's family told FOX 2 that within the last week, Davis had become increasingly paranoid, questioning the paternity of his own child and hallucinating. They say he even went to his mother's home to kill her but thankfully she wasn't home.

Because of how bad this years flu season the FDA is already working on next years vaccines

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
As healthcare professionals continue to battle the flu epidemic, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has already begun work on next season's vaccines, according to commissioner Scott Gotlieb.

"We're already partnering with other public health agencies to conduct essential work," Gotlieb said in a statement.

The FDA, along with Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, will study millions of flu cases from this year. Part of the process will be understanding why this year's vaccine was less effective against influenza A, the common cause of flu-related illnesses this season.

"By looking closely at the available data and applying the lessons we learn each flu season to the vaccine development process, we offer the greatest chance of developing vaccines that even more effectively prevent the flu in the future," Gotlieb said.

According to the FDA, patients who received a vaccine this year were 25 percent less likely to become sick from influenza A, this year's deadliest strain.

This was almost a 20 percent decrease in effectiveness from last year, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Although CDC data are showing a decline in doctor visits this year, many Americans may still be dealing with the flu into April, Gotlieb said.

"We must continue to be diligent in doing our part to prevent the spread of flu however possible," he added, "including remembering to wash your hands frequently and staying home when you are sick."

A homeowner in Wisconsin got quite the surprise over the weekend when he spotted paw prints in the snow in his front yard and checked surveillance video -- only to discover he had a visit from a very large cat.

Dan Guerndt told FOX6 he was shocked to find out a cougar made a visit to his home on Saturday in Brookfield, located just west of Milwaukee.

"I couldn't believe what I saw. A really big cat," Guerndt said. "I was hoping it didn't see my cat, break the window or something."

The Brookfield Police Department said in a news release they responded to a report of a cougar under a pine tree in a resident's backyard around 6 p.m.

Agents from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources responded to the scene, and confirmed the big cat was in fact a cougar.

"Definitely the craziest visitor we've had," Guerndt said.

Authorities said the cougar was very passive, and may have had some injury. Officers weren't able to neutralize the cougar or use a dart gun due to the proximity of nearby homes, and when they returned Sunday the animal wasn't under the tree anymore.

Dianne Robinson with the Wisconsin DNR told FOX6 the cougar may have left a pack in South Dakota looking for a mate, as well as food and territory. Officials believe the cat in Brookfield is the same spotted in three other counties since late last year.

"To me it just showed a certain amount of curiosity associated with the animal," Robinson said. "It jumped up, checked out the window, and moved on right away. Probably saw its reflection I would assume. That type of behavior I wouldn't be so concerned about."

Robinson said the cougar will probably move on, and the agency is working with local authorities to track the animal to determine what the options are, depending where it ends up.

"Cougars are a protected species, so you can't necessarily shoot them, but if there's a potential safety hazard associated with that, then absolutely the DNR would work with local law enforcement and allow them to dispatch that animal," she said.

Nikolas Cruz tried to access $800,000 inheritance before shooting: report

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Nikolas Cruz, the teenager who police said opened fire inside a Florida high school earlier this month, killing 17, reportedly hired a lawyer about two months before the rampage in an attempt to acquire his $800,000 inheritance.

The New York Post, citing an order handed down on Dec. 13 by Broward County probate judge, reported that Cruz tried to retrieve his portion of the estate left behind by his mother, Lynda Cruz, who died of pneumonia in November.

Cruz reportedly signed a retainer agreement with lawyer Audra Simovitch to pursue his share of the estate, the report said. The judge has approved visitation between Simovitch and Cruz while he's in jail.

The lawyer told the paper that she has yet to meet with him, but hopes to before March. She told the paper one of the reasons she needs to meet with him is to determine whether Cruz still wants his share of the inheritance.

Green's ruling was handed down after Simovitch issued a petition claiming she was denied access to Cruz by the Public Defender's office, and accused it of "obstructing justice," the paper reported.

Simovitch filed court papers the day after the school shooting-- Feb. 15-- on behalf of Roxanne Deschamps. Deschamps cared for Cruz and his younger brother Zachary after their parents died. The paper reported that Deschamps wants to administer Lynda's estate.

Court papers reportedly say Deschamps "has an interest" in her longtime friend's estate because she cares for Zachary. There are reportedly no signs that she could obtain the inheritance for herself, but she could charge a fee for her efforts administering the estate dependent on a judge's approval. Zachary turned 18 this week, the paper reported.

Cruz told a family friend he believes Deschamps - who reportedly kicked him out of her trailer prior to the shooting over an argument they had about his gun collection -- wants to steal his inheritance, according to The Post.
