&#151; -- A man is accused of stabbing a young woman to death with a hunting knife at a Massachusetts public library Saturday morning, prosecutors said.

Jeffrey Yao, 23, is accused of coming up behind Deane Kenny Stryker, who was sitting at a table at the Winchester Public Library, and stabbing her, unprovoked, the Middlesex District Attorney's Office said.

Winchester Public Library Central Library located at 80 Washington Street in Winchester, Mass.

Stryker managed to get up and try to run away, but the attack continued, prosecutors said.

Stryker suffered about 20 wounds, prosecutors said in court today. Her injuries were to her head and upper torso, Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan said this weekend.

A 77-year-old man tried to intervene during the attack, and he was stabbed in the arm, prosecutors said. He survived and was hospitalized.

The weapon appeared to be a hunting knife with a 10-inch blade, Ryan said.

Yao, who was known to police, was arrested and charged with murder and armed assault with intent to murder, prosecutors said.

Yao's defense attorney told reporters today that his client has a long history of mental illness including hospitalizations, adding that his parents are devastated for the victim's family, ABC affiliate WCVB reported.

Stryker, 22, was a medical student at the University of New England, the school said.

Yao appeared in court this morning and was ordered held without bail. A not guilty plea was entered on his behalf. He will next appear at a probable cause hearing on April 11.

The motive remains under investigation, prosecutors said.

Students are returning to class at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School today for the first time since the mass shooting at the Parkland, Florida, school that killed 17 people and sent shockwaves across the nation.

One student told ABC News he's "not mentally ready yet" to return to class after the Valentine's Day shooting that killed his best friend, while another student said she's happy to get back "to come together to grieve."

There's a massive presence of police officers and first responders at the campus today. All off-duty law enforcement in the area was asked by the police union to offer its support to the students and staff.

When sophomore Leni Steinhardt arrived at school today, she told "Good morning America" she "has a pit in my stomach knowing what happened here."

"I'm definitely eager to hug my friends and thank the teachers who saved my life that day," Steinhardt added. "It's heartbreaking to know that sadly 17 people aren't going to get the chance to do that."

The suspected gunman, former student Nikolas Cruz, 19, allegedly fled after the shooting but was apprehended later that afternoon.

In the days that followed the massacre, Stoneman Douglas survivors not only attended funerals for the slain students and staff, but also took political action, rallying together to create a turning point in the national debate over gun control.

Teenagers made a trip to Tallahassee, the Florida state capital, spoke with President Donald Trump at the White House, and organized a March on Washington for March 24 called "March for Our Lives."

On Friday, staff members were allowed to return to school for the first time.

Then on Sunday, students and parents were permitted to come back to campus for an orientation in which they met with teachers and administrators to discuss plans for resuming classes.

At the school parents hugged their children, some with tears in their eyes. Counselors were on hand to help students and parents cope with being back at the scene of the horror.

Stoneman Douglas senior Julien Decoste lost his best friend, Joaquin Oliver, in the shooting, and told ABC News on Tuesday that he hadn't decided if he will go to school on Wednesday.

Decoste, 18, said he just isn't ready, calling it "too emotionally tough" to see the building where Oliver was killed.

Decoste said his parents think he should go back "to show strength."

"I know Joaquin would want me to go to finish my high school year," he said. "But I'm not mentally ready yet."

Looking forward to tomorrow Eagles! Remember our focus is on emotional readiness and comfort not curriculum: so there is no need for backpacks. Come ready to start the healing process and #RECLAIMTHENEST ????????
- Principal Thompson (@PrincipalMSD) February 27, 2018

Student Carmen Lo, whose close friend Carmen Schentrup died in the shooting, told ABC News on Tuesday, "I'm actually happy to go back to school."

"I think it is in our best interests for us to come together to grieve," Lo said. "We're going back as a united school, ready to make change on behalf of the 17 lives and other schools across the country.

"The one fear I do have is having to come to terms with the fact that there will always be that empty desk because our friends are no longer alive," she said. "However, we want the world to know that we will not let this event break us and we will come back stronger. We will not tolerate inaction because students should not need to be afraid to attend school."

"School shouldn't be a warzone, you shouldn't associate guns and bullets and death tolls with school," Steinhardt said. "We're going to fight to make sure that this is the last school shooting."

About 20 years ago, Michael Cox's grief was soothed by hearing his sister's name called at Harrisonville High's graduation. He then watched his mother walk across a stage to accept an honorary diploma.

Stacy Cox, Michael's sister, had been killed in a car crash when she was 15.

"Every little thing like that helps us with grieving," said Michael, now 36. "Brings a little bit of light to the dark that happened."

Today, Harrisonville School District officials are refusing to say the name of another student who died before her school's spring graduation. The student's family fears the decision is driven by the stigma that can accompany suicide.

Relatives of Gabi Keil, who died by suicide in 2016 when she was a junior, are discouraged by Harrisonville officials' repeated refusals to embrace their request, though school leaders have said they will place a chair draped in a gown in Gabi's honor and list her name in a program.

Thousands of people are supporting the Keil family in an online petition, motivating them in their efforts to sway leaders.

Jennifer Keil, Gabi's sister, has met with Harrisonville High Principal Mark Wiegers, appealed to Superintendent Frank Dahman and written to the Harrisonville Board of Education - all in an effort to convince them to say Gabi's name at graduation.

During the meeting with Wiegers, Keil said she was told that uttering Gabi's name would be too upsetting.

"She (Gabi) had been with the district for 11 years," said Keil, 34. "Why can't they recognize her?"

Other Harrisonville families of high school students recently killed are standing behind the Keil family. The relatives of two other Harrisonville students killed the same school year as Gabi said they want to hear their lost loved ones' names read at their respective graduations.

The Star first wrote about the Keil family's request last month. At that time, Keil had started an online petition that had amassed about 500 signatures.

Since then, about 23,000 more people have signed the petition - a significant figure considering it represents a group more than twice the size of Harrisonville's population.

But Harrisonville officials have refused to accede.

"We feel that the remembrance chair and program listing are appropriate ways to remember our students and to maintain the spirit of a graduation celebration," district spokeswoman Jill Filer previously wrote to The Star.

Filer, Dahman, Wiegers and Board President RJ Knox did not respond to requests for comment for this story.

The Board of Education wrote this month in response to a letter from Keil that the chair and name in the program are consistent with how "the District has handled similar situations in the past."

In an email to Keil, Filer reiterated that point, writing an empty chair once served to recognize a murder victim.

But what school officials have failed to address, however, was that during the 2014 ceremony, a moment of silence was held and students placed dozens of white roses on that empty chair in the murder victim's honor.

Harrisonville school officials may continue to face this issue, as Gabi was one of three students who died during the 2016-17 school year.

Saylor Johnson died in a house fire. She would have graduated in 2019.

And Corey Turner died after being struck by a swerving vehicle a few months before Gabi's death. He would have graduated in 2020.

Immediate relatives of all three students who died agree: They want to hear the students' names at their respective graduations.

"A name to us is life. That shows that our loved one did live," said Erika Chaney, Saylor's mother. "Just to hear someone say their names - that acknowledgment means the most to us as survivors."

Chaney added that she signed Keil's petition.

Jeffrey Turner, Corey's father, said his son's death doesn't negate the fact that Corey was a member of the 2020 class.

Hearing the students' names at graduation "would mean something to us and it would mean something to (the Keil family)," Turner said.

Julie Cerel, the president of the American Association of Suicidology and a professor at the University of Kentucky, said there is a fine line that school districts must navigate between memorializing and glamorizing suicide victims.

Still, she said, some districts put too much emphasis on attempting to prevent "contagion" - the documented but rare phenomenon that suggests an adolescent suicide increases the risk of additional suicides in a community.

Cerel said preventing contagion can go too far "and doesn't help family and classmates still grieving the loss of their loved one.

"My personal preference: Honor the family's wishes if it doesn't disrupt the service."

Cerel also encouraged districts to treat suicide victims as they would others who die in a different manner.

Keil said she will continue to advocate for hearing her sister's name at graduation.

Though she was hurt by the school board's decision, especially because she herself graduated with Harrisonville Board President RJ Knox, she's uplifted by the thousands of people offering their support through the petition, enough to move her to tears at times.

"If she (Gabi) could only see how many people care for her now," she said.

Hearing her sister's name would help with the healing process, Keil added, and "calling her name could potentially save another person sitting in the audience who's thinking, 'Nobody cares about me.' "

Free-agency predictions: Kirk Cousins' new deal and landing spot

The top free agent on the market is about to get paid. Will he break records with his new deal, and which team will sign him? Our NFL Insiders weigh in on the biggest topics of the offseason.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The NFL offseason is already heating up -- we've had two big trades, and Blake Bortles has been taken off the quarterback market -- but March 14 is when the real fun begins. That's when free agency kicks off (4 p.m. ET), and it's when the trades involving Alex Smith and Marcus Peters become official.

Kirk Cousins. Jimmy Graham. Le'Veon Bell. This class could get wild. Here's everything to know heading into free agency, which begins March 14.

* Latest news, players to watch "
* Barnwell: AFC moves | NFC moves "
* Making biggest decisions for all 32 "
* Destination Cousins: Landing spots "
* 2018 QB carousel: Test for yourself "

Over the next two weeks, our panel of ESPN NFL Insiders is taking a closer look at the upcoming free-agent market, answering questions on the biggest topics in the league.

Next up: Kirk Cousins is the top free agent on the market, but the teams who seem to be interested in breaking the bank to sign him are dwindling. Where will he sign, and how much guaranteed money will he get?

The topics our panel has hit so far:

Kirk Cousins will get $ _____ million guaranteed in his deal with the _______.

Dan Graziano, national NFL writer: $70 million fully guaranteed at signing (beating Matthew Stafford's record of $60.5 million) and $100 million in injury guarantees (beating Stafford's record of $97 million) from the New York Jets. The Vikings, Broncos and Cardinals will all make strong pushes, but the Jets' offer will top them all.

John Keim, ESPN Redskins reporter: $87 million guaranteed from the Minnesota Vikings. Of course, this depends on the Vikings going away from Case Keenum and Teddy Bridgewater. Cousins would have an opportunity to join a good franchise, one set up to win now and for the next several years -- but he might have to spurn bigger offers to do so.

Kevin Seifert, national NFL writer: $71 million guaranteed from the Broncos. That's what it will take to outbid the Jets, who might be more aggressive but offer less in the way of long-term hopes.

Mike Sando, senior NFL writer: $90 million guaranteed from the Denver Broncos. Denver is one place where Cousins could almost single-handedly turn a losing team into a contender overnight. In Minnesota, the Vikings are already a 13-3 team, which means Cousins could be blamed for anything less than a Super Bowl appearance. It's time for John Elway to turn on the quarterback charm again. His team badly needs a good veteran starter.

Matt Bowen, NFL writer: $70 million guaranteed from the Jets. Denver and Arizona also will make a strong push for the veteran QB, but I think New York wins out. Cousins is a good fit for new offensive coordinator Jeremy Bates, who can design a game plan to cater to Cousins' strengths.

Aaron Schatz, editor-in-chief of Football Outsiders: $70 million guaranteed, and I still think the Broncos are the best match for him.

Field Yates, NFL Insider: $75 million fully guaranteed, but I'm not ready to pick a team just yet. Guarantees are a bit tricky to calculate, so with the idea in mind that Cousins' guarantees (for injury only) could approach nine figures, a $75 million full guarantee is a reasonable bar to expect.

Next up: Debating Le'Veon Bell's future. The talented Pittsburgh Steelers running back is a free agent again after playing on the franchise tag in 2017. Will he be back in Pittsburgh this season -- and beyond?

True or false: Bell will be playing for the Steelers in 2019.

Jeremy Fowler, ESPN Steelers reporter: True. All principals involved in the negotiations -- from player to team president to general manager -- have expressed optimism for an extension, something the Steelers typically don't do without conviction. The Steelers can structure any contract with reasonable escape clauses after two to three years to account for potential declines in Bell's game, and they are eager to keep the "Triple B" trio of Bell, Antonio Brown and Ben Roethlisberger intact.

Graziano: False. After one more year on the franchise tag, Bell and the Steelers part ways in 2019, and he signs a lucrative long-term deal with the Seattle Seahawks.

Bowen: False. With Bell playing out the 2018 season on the franchise tag, the running back hits the market entering the 2019 offseason. A destination? The Cleveland Browns are an option if they don't grab Penn State's Saquon Barkley at the top of the draft -- they have the first and fourth picks in the first round. Seattle is a possibility too, given the Seahawks' inability to develop a feature back since the departure of Marshawn Lynch. But for now, I'll say the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where Bell signs a multiyear deal with a value that reflects his impact on the game and rare versatility for the position.

Schatz: False. Add me to the list of people who expect the Steelers to get one more year out of Bell on the franchise tag and then let him depart. The New York Jets seem like the kind of front office that would spend through the nose on a top running back.

When: April 26-28
Where: Arlington, Texas

* Which NFL teams could draft a QB? "
* Kiper's Big Board " | McShay's Top 32 "
* 2018 draft QB class primer "
* Underclassmen who have declared "

Mina Kimes, senior writer: True. I might be overly optimistic, but the language coming from those in the Steelers' front office this offseason suggests that they're more motivated to get a deal done than they were last year -- and one would think that Bell, who has racked up a massive number of touches over the past few years, could be more amenable as well. Pittsburgh knows how integral he is to its offense, which is why I think the Steelers will come up with an agreement that keeps him in town for at least two more years.

Sando: True. Bell is an elite talent and true difference-maker for the Steelers, which makes him too valuable to let walk while Roethlisberger is holding open the Steelers' championship window. I tend to think the sides will find a way to continue this very productive marriage, perhaps against the odds, as long as Bell is healthy and an elite performer.

Seifert: False. The Steelers, smartly, will go year-to-year at a position where production drops dramatically in most cases after the age of 27. Bell turned 26 in February.

Yates: False. Bell will be playing somewhere other than Pittsburgh in 2019 after playing on the franchise tag again in 2018. The Indianapolis Colts make sense.

We're starting with a deeper look at the Vikings, whose top three quarterbacks from 2017 -- Case Keenum, Teddy Bridgewater and Sam Bradford -- are all free agents. Minnesota also might be in the Kirk Cousins sweepstakes.

Which quarterback will take the most snaps for Minnesota in 2018?

The Vikings have only used the franchise tag twice in team history, but Case Keenum presents an interesting situation after career year.

Take a spin through the 2018 QB merry-go-round by matching up the signal-callers who could be available this offseason with the teams that need help.

Sando: Keenum. We'll have to see whether Bridgewater can make it through a full offseason, training camp and preseason and win the job. Once he does those things, he will have to do what might be the hardest thing for him to do, which is play the most snaps. So, while I think Bridgewater could be the most likely quarterback to re-sign with Minnesota, I'll lean toward Keenum as more likely to play the most snaps, at least until we have more information.

Courtney Cronin, ESPN Vikings reporter: Bridgewater. I predict the Vikings will end up getting outbid in the Cousins sweepstakes, thus leading them to re-sign two of their pending free-agent quarterbacks. Though Minnesota might franchise tag Keenum, it would make sense to use its cap space to work out deals with Keenum and Bridgewater. The Vikings typically don't have quarterback competitions in training camp, but given the unique nature of their situation, both Bridgewater and Keenum will have a chance to duke it out in camp. It might not be in the beginning of the season, but by some point in 2018, I believe Bridgewater will emerge as the starter.

Bowen: Bridgewater. I expect the Vikings to explore the market for Cousins. But with the Jets, Broncos and possibly more teams jumping into the mix, the price tag is going to rise quickly. That's why I'm looking at a situation in which coach Mike Zimmer & Co. attempt to bring back both Bridgewater and Keenum. With Bridgewater healthy and prepped to go through the entire offseason program, the former first-round pick will edge out Keenum in a daily camp battle for the starting spot.

Seifert: Keenum. Part of the Vikings' public ambivalence could be related to leverage. Declaring a quarterback your guy means you have to pay him that way. There is no doubt that Zimmer loves Bridgewater, but the Vikings know how rarely in their history they have gotten a performance like the one Keenum gave them in 2017. We have no information at the moment that would allow us to project Bridgewater as the superior quarterback.

Yates: Cousins. The Vikings were publicly reticent throughout much of the 2017 regular season to fully and entirely commit to Keenum as the guy, which suggests to me that the team won't overextend to keep him. Cousins, meanwhile, is the rare available quarterback who can shift the winds of a franchise, helping Minnesota -- armed with the financial resources to acquire him -- elevate to another level.

Kimes: Bridgewater. The Vikings have enough cap space to make a run at Cousins, but I think they'll back off when his price tag reaches uncharted territory; Cousins is better than Keenum and Bridgewater, but he's not that much better. It's hard to forecast when Bridgewater will take Keenum's job (I expect the team to keep both quarterbacks), but I still think Bridgewater is Minnesota's long-term plan.

Graziano: Bridgewater. My projected scenario is one in which the Vikings bring back Keenum and Bridgewater, and Bridgewater eventually takes the job away from Keenum -- either in a training camp competition or after Keenum struggles during the regular season. All of this, of course, assumes the Vikings don't sign Cousins. If they break the bank for a quarterback, I'd change my answer to Cousins.

Schatz: Keenum. My guess is that other teams will look at Keenum and say, "Yes, he had one fantastic year, but what is his regression going to look like in our system?" The Vikings are the one team that can look at Keenum and know they have seen evidence he can play well for them. In the same system with the same teammates, there's a better chance he can continue to play at 2017's high level.

Dick's Sporting Goods, the nation's largest sporting goods retailer, will stop selling assault-style weapons like the one used in the Parkland, Florida, high school shooting.

The company said it will also raise the minimum age for all gun sales to 21. Dick's will not sell high-capacity magazines that allow shooters to fire far more rounds than traditional weapons without reloading, as well as other accessories used with weapons similar to the AR-15.

The Parkland shooter, Nikolas Cruz, bought a gun at Dick's. The company said he did not buy the AR-15 that he used in the school shooting there.

The company stopped selling those military-style semiautomatic weapons in its Dick's-branded stores after the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting in 2012, but it continued to sell those weapons at its 35 Field and Stream stores.

Now it will pull those weapons from all of its stores.

Walmart , the nation's largest retailer and a major seller of firearms, announced it would stop selling the military-style semiautomatic weapons in August 2015.

There have been widespread calls for tougher gun control measures in the week since the school shooting.

Two bodies found dumped along a road last week outside Albuquerque, N.M., were identified Tuesday as a retired attorney and his transgender roommate.

The families of Eugene Carrell Ray, 70, and Zakaria Fry, 28, had reported them missing in January, the Albuquerque Journal reported.

A rancher in a small desert town told the Journal he discovered Fry's body stuffed in a garbage bin. Ray's body was discovered a few miles away.

Police confirmed their identities Tuesday but released few details.

Their family members do not know how Ray and Zakaria met or how long she had been renting a room from him.

"I don't understand how someone can do that to anyone, just dump them like if they are trash," said Ray's daughter, Alarie Ray-Garcia. "It's unfathomable to me."

Police are investigating the case as a double homicide, a spokesman for the Albuquerque Police Department said.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The search for a man police believe has information about a deadly shooting continues Wednesday after an overnight standoff with Kansas City police.

For nearly five hours police had a house near 26th and Quincy under surveillance. Someone tipped them off that a man they were looking for was inside, but when police finally searched the house, the man was nowhere to be found. Police only found a juvenile inside.

Police say the person they are looking for was a bystander in a two-car crash Tuesday afternoon near 23rd and Denver. Police say he got into an argument with one of the drivers and shot him. That driver died. The suspect took off from the scene.

Police say the man they are looking for was last seen driving a 2003 white Chevy Trailblazer with the Missouri license plate UJ0-J2U.

Call the TIPS Hotline (816) 474-TIPS if you can help locate this person.

The New York Pos reports that Locklear called a female officer a "c–t" and kicked a male officer in the groin in front of her 20-year-old daughter, Ava Sambora.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
More details of Heather Locklear's arrest for domestic violence and assaulting police officers have emerged.

The New York Post reports that Locklear called a female officer a "c-t" and kicked a male officer in the groin in front of her 20-year-old daughter, Ava Sambora.

"During the officer's investigation Locklear was uncooperative and agitated, she was not only verbally uncooperative, but physically abusive to officers," Sheriff's Capt. Garo Kuredjian told Us Weekly. "She attacked three of our deputies and was arrested, there was also evidence that she had battered her boyfriend."

He added that as the officers struggled to deal with the actress she "kicked or hit the deputies."

Locklear's lawyer had no comment when reached by Fox News.

Locklear claimed Sunday she had an injury and was taken to a local hospital before she was booked at the police station. She posted $20,000 bail and is expected in court on March 13.

Police told Fox News the former "Melrose Place" star was arrested Sunday and charged with domestic violence, which is a felony, and three counts of battery against an officer.
Where are they now? Cast of 'Melrose Place'
Locklear's live-in boyfriend is reportedly her high school sweetheart Chris Heisser. The 56-year-old recently posted a picture of the pair on social media captioning it, "My favorite person on earth. 40 years later."

Heisser was arrested Monday morning after California Highway Patrol pulled him over for speeding and he blew a .19 and a .20 when given a field sobriety test, according to TMZ.

In 2011, Heisser, 56, was convicted of theft and fraud and served two years in prison, The Post reports.

Locklear has also had her fair share of run-ins with the law.

The actress was arrested in 2008 on suspicion of driving under the influence but the charges were later dismissed. She was sentenced to three years of informal probation and ordered to pay a $700 fine and take a driver safety class.

In the same year, authorities were called to Locklear's home following a 911 call from her doctor, who feared she overdosed on prescription medication but the warning turned out to be a false alarm.

According to TMZ, police went to the home of Locklear's then-boyfriend Jack Wagner in 2011 after a fight turned physical between the couple. A law enforcement source told TMZ at the time that Locklear "lost it on him and he retaliated."

Locklear's troubles continued in 2012 when her sister called 911 after fearing Locklear "was going to harm herself."

TMZ reported at the time that the actress had ingested a "dangerous mix" of a prescription drug, said to be Xanax, and alcohol.

Locklear has struggled with substance abuse in the past and most recently entered rehab last year.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - A naked man who led police on a chase while driving an ATV is now facing charges for the incident.

Johnathon Menth, 27, of Excelsior Springs, was charged Monday in Clay County with sexual misconduct, property damage, tampering with a vehicle and burglary in connection with the incident that happened Sunday afternoon.

KC Police said they received a call at 2:18 p.m. Sunday about a "suspicious party" without clothes driving an allegedly stolen yellow ATV through yards.

According to court documents, the naked man - later identified as Menth - refused to stop and fled from police on the ATV through a field.

After driving through multiple fields, wooded areas, residential areas, city streets and sidewalks, police said Menth made his way to Interstate 435 where he began driving at a high rate of speed southbound in the northbound lanes of traffic. Officers followed in the southbound lanes in order to warn approaching traffic.

Menth then exited off I-435 onto 210 Highway and drove west to Searcy Creek Parkway. He then drove back east on train tracks south of 210 Highway.

Police said he then approached the area of the old Sam's Town Casino where he encountered officers waiting for him. When Menth saw the officers, he struck two railway junction boxes and was thrown from the ATV.

He immediately got up and tried to flee, but was taken into custody. He was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.

A witness captured some of the ATV chase on video. See the footage in the video below.

According to court documents, Menth was the subject of a police search earlier in that day.

A Missouri State Highway Patrol officer saw a PT Cruiser with a flat tire speeding and tried to pull the vehicle over. The driver, later identified as Menth, allegedly took off, and the trooper started a pursuit.

After about 30 seconds, the chase was called off because of erratic driving. The vehicle was later found unoccupied.

On Monday, court records say Menth told KC police that he had been high at the time. He said he ran after abandoning the PT Cruiser and eventually found the ATV with the key in it.

Menth told police he stole the ATV and was trying to get back to Excelsior Springs. He told police he didn't stop during the second pursuit because he was "flipping" and couldn't stop, according to court documents.

The 27-year-old's bond has been set at $50,000 with the stipulation that, if posted, he does not go out in public "unless fully dressed."

NYC now has to pay $180,000 to three Muslim women, they settled for $60,000 each. They filed for the lawsuit after they were 'forced' to take of their religious garments. One of these women who is a high school student and identifies as "G.E." was brought in for getting into a brawl with some other women she believed were gossiping about her. She was asked to take off her Hijab, she refused and asked that she could be taken to a secluded room were a female police officer could take her picture. But the a Brooklyn Police Station could not accommodate her religious needs so a male had to take her picture without her Hijab making her feel "exposed, violated, and distraught. Two other cases were filed with a similar situation.

New York City will have to pay out $180,000 to three Muslim women after forcing them to take off their hijabs for mugshots.

Three lawsuits were settled Monday in Brooklyn federal court stemming from the NYPD policy of photographing people wearing religious head coverings, the New York Daily News reported. The three women settled for $60,000 each.

Some cases date to 2012, when a high school girl - identified as "G.E." - was arrested after a brawl with two other girls whom she though spread gossip about her.

G.E. was initially brought to a local police station and was told to take off her hijab. G.E. refused and was taken to a secluded room where a female police officer took her photo outside the presence of any men, the Daily News reported.

But at Brooklyn Central Booking the police could not accommodate the girl's religious needs, telling her that there were not any female officers available and that the camera is in a fixed spot, thus the mugshot could not be taken in a private room.

The girl alleged that a male officer then took her photo without a hijab, making her feel "exposed, violated and distraught" as she was forced to be without the Islamic garb for 20 minutes while male officers and prisoners looked at her.

Police issued an order in March 2015, according to court filings, changing the policies regarding people who refusing to take off their religious head coverings. Officers who perform the arrest had to tell the person that the NYPD offers a choice of getting a private photo - without the head garb and with an officer of the same gender.

Two other cases were filed in 2015 and 2016 by G.E.'s lawyer, Tahanie Aboushi, and involved a similar situation.

One woman claims to have been forced to remove her veil at Brooklyn Central Booking police station and was denied a female photographer. Another accuser said her hijab was removed at the scene of her arrest.

Aboushi told the Daily News on Tuesday that the police department issued additional policies regarding religious headwear in December 2017.

"We did our best to establish good precedent," Aboushi said. "On the one hand, it gives officers guidance, and on the other hand, it protects the exercise of religious freedom."

A British woman who had committing murder on her "bucket list" and had an "obsession" with serial killers was sentenced to prison on Wednesday for the brutal killing of an autistic teenager in Australia.

Jemma Lilley, 26, strangled, stabbed and buried 18-year-old Aaron Pajich at her home in Perth on June 13, 2016, according to prosecutors.

The 26-year-old was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum term of 28 years, the same sentence given to her housemate, Trudi Lenon, at the Supreme Court of Western Australia, according to Sky News.

Prosecutor James McTaggart told jurors Lilley had spoken of wanting to kill someone before she turned 25, and after the slaying was "full of herself and euphoric" while boasting to a coworker. Prosecutors said she also idolized horror movies, including the character Freddy Krueger from the "A Nightmare on Elm Street" series, according to News.com.au.

Lilley and Lenon met through a friend and became close, eventually moving in together two months before the killing, according to the BBC. Prosecutors said the pair exchanged homicidal fantasies until Pajich's killing, and had bought various supplies such as a circular saw and 100 liters of hydrochloric acid to help dispose of the body, the BBC reported.

Pajich, who had autism, was lured to his death in June 2016, with both defendants blaming each other for the killing. Lenon said during the trial that Lilley approached the teenager from behind as he installed games on her computer, strangled him until the wire broke and then stabbed him three times, Sky News reported.

Prosecutors said during the trial that Lilley left incriminating messages to her "obsequious and sycophantic" follower Lenon hours after the killing, saying she was feeling things she had "not felt before," according to Sky News.
WOMAN KILLED AUTISTIC TEEN TO CHECK OFF MURDER FROM 'BUCKET LIST,' PROSECUTORS SAY
Jurors were also told Lilley had written a book about a serial killer, called "SOS," and went on to assume the identity of the main character.

"The book was a big problem with me," Lilley's stepmother, Nina Lilley, 48, told The Times. "At the beginning I thought, 'Fair enough. You want to write a horror story.' But I didn't like the contents of it. "She had always had an obsession with serial killers, but she said it was a way of venting her frustration of what happened when she was a child,"

After the pair was sentenced, the victim's mother told reporters she was heartbroken and would have to deal with what happened to her son for a lifetime.

"He was my precious little boy, he was my first-born. He was full of life," Sharon Pajich said, adding the pair were "disgusting animals" and should never be released. "They deserve everything they get for what they've done. They've taken an innocent boy from his loved ones."

A Florida doctor was arrested and charged for fraud after administrating with giving patients half doses of vaccines but charged them for a full dose. An estimated 500 patients may have been impacted by Sohail's alleged fraud and may need to be re-vaccinated. The department also said that Sohail "did not follow best practices in maintaining the sterility of the vaccines she administrated."  The health department founded partially used single-dose vaccine vials in the refrigerator after a visit in late January.

A Florida doctor has been arrested and charged with fraud after state officials say she administered partial doses of vaccines to patients but charged them for the full amount of the vaccine.

Investigators from the Florida Department of Health and the Office of the Attorney General's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit also discovered that Orlando-based pediatrician Dr. Ishrat Sohail had allegedly been administering vaccines as part of the Vaccines for Children Program, which is intended for uninsured patients or patients covered under Medicaid, to those covered by private insurance, according to a press release from the Florida Department of Health.

An estimated 500 patients may have been impacted by Sohail's alleged fraud and may need to be re-vaccinated, according to the Florida Department of Health, which stressed that partial doses of the vaccines may not provide sufficient protection from "potentially dangerous" diseases that are vaccine-preventable

"Based on recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the department, if your child received vaccines from Dr. Sohail between 2016 and 2018, you should contact a new primary care provider to consider [re-vaccination]," the health department said.

The department also said that there's a "possibility" that Sohail "did not follow best practices in maintaining the sterility of the vaccines she administered" and recommended parents of children who experienced a "severe adverse reaction or infection at the injection site" from any vaccine administered by Sohail or her staff to contact Orange County health officials.

Sohail practiced in a medical suite near Orlando's Orwin Manor neighborhood, according to a database of Florida hospitals. She is certified by the American Board of Pediatrics and went to medical school at the Liaquat University of Medical & Health Sciences in Jamshoro, Pakistan, according to the database.

The state's surgeon general, Dr. Celeste Philip, has issued an emergency order to suspend Sohail's medical license, according to the department.

The Florida Department of Health regularly conducts site visits to providers of the Vaccines for Children Program. During a visit to Sohail's practice in 2016, investigators determined that she administered two vials of VFC vaccines to non-Medicaid patients and billed private insurance companies, which resulted in Sohail being suspended from the program for two months, according to the department.

After the suspension, Sohail was placed under a corrective action plan, which limited the number of VFC vaccines to her, the health department said.

An additional visit in late January found partially used single-dose vaccine vials were in the refrigerator, according to the health department.

Seminole County Jail

Sohail arrested Friday morning and released on $30,000 bond that day, Lt. Dwayne Kvalheim of the Seminole County Sheriff's Office told ABC News. She has been charged with Medicaid fraud and organized fraud in Orange County, where her practice is located, Kvalheim said.

ABC News could not immediately reach Sohail or a representative for comment.

Dick's just recently came out and said that they will no longer be carrying assault style rifles

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
One of the nation's largest sports retailers, Dick's Sporting Goods, said Wednesday morning it was immediately ending sales of all assault-style rifles in its stores.

The retailer also said that it would no longer sell high-capacity magazines and that it would not sell any gun to anyone under 21 years of age, regardless of local laws.

The announcement, made two weeks after the school shooting in Parkland, Fla., that killed 17 students and staff members, is one of the strongest stances taken by corporate America in the national gun debate. It also carries symbolic weight, coming from a prominent national gunseller.

Late last week, after coming under attack on social media for their ties to the National Rifle Association, a number of major companies, including Hertz car rental, MetLife insurance and Delta Air Lines, publicly ended those relationships, issuing brief, carefully phrased statements.

But Edward Stack, the 63-year-old chief executive of Dick's whose father founded the store in 1948, is deliberately steering his company directly into the storm, making clear that the company's new policy was a direct response to the Florida shooting.

"When we saw what happened in Parkland, we were so disturbed and upset," Mr. Stack said in an interview Tuesday evening. "We love these kids and their rallying cry, 'enough is enough.' It got to us."

He added, "We're going to take a stand and step up and tell people our view and, hopefully, bring people along into the conversation."

Mr. Stack said he hoped that conversation would include politicians. As part of its stance, Dick's is calling on elected officials to enact what it called "common sense gun reform'' by passing laws to raise the minimum age to purchase guns to 21, to ban assault-type weapons and so-called bump stocks, and to conduct broader universal background checks that include mental-health information and previous interactions with law enforcement.

Mr. Stack said the retailer began scouring its purchase records shortly after the identity of the suspected Parkland shooter, Nikolas Cruz, became known. The company soon discovered it had legally sold a gun to Mr. Cruz in November, though it was not the gun or type of gun used in the school shooting.

"But it came to us that we could have been a part of this story,'' he said. "We said, 'We don't want to be a part of this any longer,'" said Mr. Stack.

That decision raised rounds of discussions with top executives inside the company as well as the directors, all of whom backed the decision to take a stance, said Mr. Stack.

As of Wednesday morning, the company said all AR-15s and other semiautomatic rifles would be removed from its stores and websites.

Mr. Stack said Dick's remained a staunch supporter of the Second Amendment and will continue to sell a variety of sport and hunting firearms. Although he has never been a member of the N.R.A., Mr. Stack said he is, in fact, a gun owner and enjoys trapshooting clay targets.

But when it comes to selling guns to individuals under 21 years of age or stocking assault-style rifles, Mr. Stack said his company was done. "We don't want to be a part of a mass shooting," he said.

This is not the first time Dick's has made changes in response to a school massacre. In 2012, after the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Dick's removed assault-style rifles from its main retail stores. But a few months later, the company began carrying the firearms at its outdoor and hunting retail chain, Field & Stream.

This time, Mr. Stack said, the changes will be permanent.

Dick's planned to inform its employees of the new policy in an internal note Wednesday morning, shortly after Mr. Stack appeared on "Good Morning America" to discuss the decision.

Dick's is not the first retailer to stop selling the semiautomatic guns. In 2015, Walmart said that it would no longer sell high-powered rifles in its stores in the United States. But Walmart sidestepped any controversy involving gun politics, attributing its decision to lower customer demand for the military-style rifles.

It is unclear what financial impact the decision will have on Dick's business. Neither Dick's nor its competitor, Cabela's, now owned by Bass Pro Shops, have broken out firearm sales in their financial reports. But last August, Dick's shares plummeted after it said weak results from its hunting segment resulted in its missing Wall Street's second-quarter earnings estimates.

Over all, firearm sales for retailers and gun manufacturers have slumped since Donald J. Trump was elected president, as fears of stricter gun regulation receded. Firearm sales data for the United States is not readily available, but background checks tumbled more than 8 percent last year, the largest fall since the F.B.I. began keeping track in 1998.

Mr. Stack said he and his company expected there would be mixed response - including fallout - to its new policy.

"The whole hunting business is an important part of our business, and we know there is going to be backlash on this," said Mr. Stack. "But we're willing to accept that."

He added, "If the kids in Parkland are being brave enough to stand up and do this, we can be brave enough to stand up with them."

It happened on Sunday at the South Walney Nature Reserve in Cumbria, an area that hosts a variety of rare and unusual flora and fauna that includes nesting spots for migratory birds and the only grey seal colony in the region.

The unidentified sightseers had rented the brand new Range Rover Sport in Scotland, according to SWNS, and drove it south to the reserve where they ignored warning signs and moved a barrier to gain entry to the beach.

The warden for the property said that she is "appalled that some people think this is acceptable behavior."

A tractor had to be called in to tow the vehicle out, severely damaging its rear bumper along with the landscape.

Reputed MS-13 defendants laugh, smile as slain teen's family glares

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Three members of the notorious Salvadoran gang MS-13 showed no remorse Tuesday as they laughed and joked in a New York courtroom while the family of one of their alleged murder victims - a teenage girl -- grimly looked on.

Enrique Portillo and brothers Alexi Saenz and Jairo Saenz laughed, smiled and joked with each other as prosecutors said they were waiting to hear from the U.S. Justice Department about whether they can pursue the death penalty.

The family of 16-year-old Kayla Cuevas, the Brentwood, N.Y., girl they are accused of slaughtering in cold blood alongside her friend Nisa Mickens, 15, glared at them from the gallery, the New York Post reported.

The two teenage girls were slaughtered in a residential neighborhood near an elementary school on Sept. 13, 2016 -- the day before Mickens' 16th birthday. Her body was found on a tree-lined street in Brentwood, while Cuevas' beaten body turned up in the wooded backyard of a nearby home a day later.

The two teens were lifelong friends who friends and family said had been inseparable and shared an interest in basketball.

"We shouldn't be tolerating this type of behavior, at all whatsoever. These are kids [getting killed], kids. This should not be tolerated at all," Cuevas' mother Evelyn Rodriguez told "Fox and Friends" last July.

U.S. Attorney Robert L. Capers said the Saenz brothers ordered the killing of Cuevas in retaliation after she called out the gang at school and on social media.

Officials said Mickens was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Portillo and two other juveniles were also charged with killing the two teenagers.

"For far too long, MS-13 has been meting out their own version of the death penalty," Capers said at the time of their arrests.

The three suspects were among 13 gang members charged with a series of crimes, including seven murders, in March 2017.

"Today marks the beginning of healing for the families and the community," he said. "It's a great day for justice... but the job is not done," Suffolk County Police Commissioner Tim Sini told Fox News at the time of their arrest in March 2017.

U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions has emphasized the Trump administration's commitment to combating MS-13, and has allowed prosecutors to pursue any legal avenue to target the gang - although he has not yet stated whether capital punishment is on the table for Portillo and the Saenzes, the Post reported.

Meanwhile, reputed MS-13 members Mario Aguilar-Lopez and Jose Suarez, who also appeared in court Tuesday, are accused of killing a rival gang member and injuring an onlooker.

Judge Joseph Bianco offered to hear the case for Aguilar-Lopez and Suarez separately, although their lawyers have yet to file the proper motions to do so. They do not face the death penalty, the paper reported.

MS-13 was started by Central American immigrants, mainly from El Salvador, in Los Angeles in the 1980s, but has since expanded to include several other Central and South American countries. The gang is believed to be responsible for 25 killings in New York City's Long Island suburbs in the past two years.
Fox News' Lucia Suarez contributed to this report.

Dick's Sporting Goods Inc., one of the largest retailers of its kind in the United States, is taking new steps to curtail the sale of firearms, including ending sales of assault-style rifles and banning the sale of guns to people younger than 21, the company announced this morning.

Interested in Gun Control?

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

"Based on what's happened and looking at those kids and those parents, it moved us all unimaginably," company Chairman and CEO Edward Stack said today on " Good Morning America," referring to the Feb. 14 school shooting in Parkland, Florida, that killed 14 students and three educators.

"To think about the loss and the grief that those kids and those parents had, we said, 'We need to do something,'" Stack, whose father, Dick, started the business 70 years ago, explained. "And we're taking these guns out of all of our stores permanently."

The move follows the revelation that Nikolas Cruz, the alleged gunman behind the shooting rampage at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, bought a gun at Dick's in 2017. It was not the gun nor the kind of gun used in the massacre, however.

"We did everything by the book," Stack said of Cruz. "We did everything that the law required and still he was able to buy a gun. When we looked at that, we said, 'The systems that are in place across the board just aren't effective enough to keep us from selling someone a gun like that.'"

The new measures go into effect today. Aside from Dick's, the Pittsburgh-based, publicly traded company also operates stores under the Gold Galaxy, Field & Stream, True Runner and Chelsea Collective banners.

Dick's announced a temporary suspension of assault-style rifles from its stores after the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., that killed 26 elementary school students and educators.

Assault-style rifles were later sold in the company's Field & Stream stores, Stack said.

When asked whether there is a chance the company will reverse its position on the newly announced ban, Stack replied, "Never."

"We're staunch supporters of the 2nd Amendment. I'm a gun owner myself," Stack said. "We've just decided that based on what's happened with these guns, we don't want to be a part of this story and we've eliminated these guns permanently."

In light of recent mass shootings, Dick's, along with other gun retailers and manufacturers, is among the public companies that have come under pressure from some activist stockholders "to report on steps they're taking to improve gun safety and to mitigate the harm associated with gun products," Fortune magazine reported last week.

It's an open question about how this decision will affect the company's bottom line but it is prepared for any backlash, Stack said this morning.

"We know that this isn't going to make everyone happy," he said.

More than a dozen companies, ranging from hotel operators to insurance providers, have announced plans to stop offering discounts and cost-saving programs for members of the NRA in light of the Florida shooting.

Students who survived the attack are lobbying for tougher gun laws, and many have demanded companies stop doing business with the NRA.

Discussing the possible repercussions for Dick's, Stack pointed to the courage of those students, many of whom are responsible for mobilizing and organizing gun control rallies, marches and social media-inspired boycotts.

"When we take a look at what those kids and the parents and the heroes in the school, what they did, our view was if the kids can be brave enough to organize like this, we can be brave enough to take these out of here," he said of the guns.

In an open letter to consumers, Stack outlined the new four-point policy for the chain's 700-plus stores, which is as follows:

- Assault-style rifles, also referred to as modern sporting rifles, will no longer be sold. Stacks noted that the company had already removed them from all Dick's stores after the Sandy Hook massacre, but they will now be removed from all 35 Field & Stream stores.

- Firearms will no longer be sold to anyone under the age of 21.

- High capacity magazines will no longer be sold.

- And finally, "We never have and never will sell bump stocks that allow semi-automatic weapons to fire more rapidly.

In the letter, Stack explained, "We support and respect the Second Amendment, and we recognize and appreciate that the vast majority of gun owners in this country are responsible, law-abiding citizens. But we have to help solve the problem that's in front of us. Gun violence is an epidemic that's taking the lives of too many people, including the brightest hope for the future of America -- our kids."

Stack is also now calling on elected officials to take action on gun control.

"We don't want to see the partisan politics where one side espouses their position and another side espouses their position and they actually never do anything," he said. "We hope that Congress will come together."

"This is a complex issue. It's not just about guns. It's about mental health reform, it's around background checks," Stack said. "We hope they come together with the intent of really finding a solution to this problem as opposed to just talking about it, knowing that they're never going to do anything, just speak to their base.

Police in the United Kingdom have started taking advantage of virtual reality technology to train officers. Gwent Police, located in Wales, recently launched the new VR training system, becoming the first police force in the U.K. to do so.

The technology makes it possible to train officers to deal with situations that they may encounter on the streets, and to test how they react to various scenarios, which is difficult to ascertain under routine training conditions, but can potentially be replicated (or replicated as closely as possible) by using immersive VR.

The scenario used for training involves a 280-degree VR scene in which the officer moves an avatar around, interacts with other characters, uses handcuffs, carries out arrests, and enters properties in a branching narrative.

"[Virtual reality] provides the ability of a safe learning environment, which promotes open conversations about opportunities for options for action, investigation and safeguarding," Superintendent Vicki Townsend told Digital Trends. "Often within policing, there is no right or wrong answer to how a situation is managed. It's about understanding what you would do, the power and legislation you utilize to take that action, and why you have done it. The scenarios provide the opportunity as a group to maximize this learning by focusing on the decision-making model, and allows the development of officers from peers with more or different experiences."

The use of virtual reality as a training technique is something that has already been explored by military medics, astronauts, surgeons, and a range of other professions where it's important to get "hands-on" experience. VR enables them to test skills in a safe environment, where the chance of physical risk (to themselves or others) is lessened.

As VR technology matures further, more and more sectors and professions will likely adapt these tools to their own purposes and requirements.

"We are currently delivering the training as part of the force training days to frontline officers," Townsend said. "Forty officers get an input [each] week. This started in January and is due to finish in May. This is is the first scenario that we built. We have planned to build 10 scenarios ... We are also hoping to build multi-agency-based scenarios."
