The lawyer for the family of a student shot dead by Georgia Tech police slammed the university and the officer who shot and killed the 21-year-old, saying Monday the deadly shooting was an overreaction and was poorly handled by the university.

Scott "Scout" Schultz was pronounced dead Sunday morning after an officer shot the student. Schultz was rushed to a hospital, but pronounced dead, Fox 5 Atlanta reported. Several officers said they found Schultz holding a knife around 11:30 p.m. Saturday outside the West Campus residential community. They reportedly urged Schultz to drop the object before one officer fired his gun.

Schultz's father, William, questioned the police officer's motive in the shooting.

"Whatever happened, it shouldn't have ended in a death," the grieving father said during a Monday news conference.

When asked what he would say to the officer, he responded: "Why did you have to shoot? That's the question. That's the only question that matters right now. Why did you kill my son?"

Chris Stewart, the family's attorney, who is also investigating the case, said Georgia Tech perpetrated a false narrative by claiming Scott Schultz was carrying a large knife and charging toward the officers Saturday night before the shooting. Stewart said Schultz was carrying a "multi-purpose tool" that had a "tiny little knife."

"The knife wasn't even open. That was the truth...that's what Georgia Tech didn't tell you," Stewart said, adding that the officer was about 20 feet away when he fired a bullet into Schultz's heart.

Stewart compared Schultz's death to other recent controversial officer-involved shooting deaths. He praised the other officers at the scene who attempted to calm Schultz, but slammed the one campus cop who fired the deadly shots, saying the officer "overreacted."

"But yet that one officer took the life of the president of the Pride group at Georgia Tech, the child of the Schultz family, the person that was loved on campus because they overreacted," Stewart said. "At the end of the day there were two failures. That one officer who decided to take Scout's life... and the other failure was Georgia Tech, who confirmed they don't give their officers Tasers."

He called the handling of the situation "totally inappropriate."

Lynne Schultz, the student's mother, said Scout had strong beliefs and "a promising future." The family said the student suffered from depression and was having a mental breakdown when the deadly ordeal happened. William Schultz said he took Scout to counseling for several weeks after the 21-year-old attempted suicide two years ago.

Videos from witnesses at the scene showed the campus police ordering Schultz to put down the knife.

"Drop the knife! Drop the knife!" the officers were heard shouting, to which Schultz responded: "Shoot me!"

"Nobody wants to hurt you, man. Drop the knife," another officer said.

A few moments later, an officer fired his gun and Schultz was heard screaming. Georgia Bureau of Investigation spokeswoman Nelly Miles initially said in a statement that Schultz "continued to advance on officers with the knife" before being shot dead.

William Schultz said Scout was at Georgia Tech with a full scholarship. The student was a fourth-year computer engineering major and was scheduled to graduate in December. He added Schultz took the summer off to relax and the last time he saw the student was in August. The Georgia Tech Pride Alliance, which Schultz led, said it was "deeply saddened" by the death.

Said William Schultz: "There is no question that Scout will be dearly missed by the people who knew him."

london police reported terror in the tube

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A manhunt was underway for any suspects linked to the bucket bomb that detonated on a packed subway train during Friday morning rush hour, injuring at least 29 people.

A source confirmed to Fox News that an ISIS affiliate took responsibility for the attack.

Police quickly called the explosion on the District Line train at Parsons Green station a "terrorist incident." It was the fifth terrorist attack in Britain this year.

Hours after the attack, officials in the United Kingdom raised the country's terrorism threat level to "critical" - the highest possible threat which means another attack is expected shortly.

Police said they have not arrested anyone in connection to the bombing, but hundreds of detectives were trying to hunt down the perpetrator or perpetrators.

The Metropolitan Police force said police "are making fast-time inquiries to establish who was responsible and are working closely with the security services."

Counterterrorism policing chief Mark Rowley said hundreds of detectives were scanning surveillance camera footage, carrying out forensic work and speaking to witnesses.

Scotland Yard said an improvised explosive device was used in the attack, and London's Metropolitan Police counter-terrorism unit was also investigating; however, police did not immediately provide any details on any suspects.

The ambulance service said at least one of the injuries was thought to be serious or life-threatening and most of the injuries were flash burns.

Passengers reported seeing people with burns to their faces and bodies after the "massive flash of flames" on the tube station.

Peter Crowley, a passenger, told the BBC: "I heard a large bang from the doors on the other side of the tube train and this fireball came towards my heard and singed off all my hair - I have got burn marks at the top of my head. Everyone just ran off the train, it was quite scary."

"It was a really hot intense fireball above my head, I've just got red marks and burns to the top of my head. There were a lot of people a lot worse than me."

Photos taken inside a District Line train showed a white plastic bucket inside a supermarket shopping bag with flames and what appear to be wires visible.

Explosive experts told the Daily Mail that they were investigating the bucket and said if it exploded properly it could have killed dozens of people. The BBC reported that the homemade device contained a timer.

Police advised people to avoid the area.

"Our city utterly condemns the hideous individuals who attempt to use terror to harm us and destroy our way of life," London Mayor Sadiq Khan said in a statement. "As London has proven again and again, we will never be intimidated or defeated by terrorism."

"My thoughts are with those injured at Parsons Green and emergency services who are responding bravely to this terrorist incident," British Prime Minister Theresa May tweeted.

Police said it was "too early to confirm the cause of the fire, which will be subject to the investigation that is now underway by the Met's Counter Terrorism Command."

The London Ambulance Service said it was called in at 8:20 a.m. local time and dispatched multiple resources to the scene, including a hazardous area response team.

"Our initial priority is to assess the level and nature of injuries," a statement read.

President Trump tweeted about the attack, which he said was perpetrated by a "loser terrorist."

"Another attack in London by a loser terrorist.These are sick and demented people who were in the sights of Scotland Yard. Must be proactive!" Trump wrote. "Loser terrorists must be dealt with in a much tougher manner.The internet is their main recruitment tool which we must cut off & use better!"

May said speculation about the incident was unhelpful following Trump's tweets.

"I never think it's helpful for anybody to speculate on what is an ongoing investigation," May said.

London police have declined to comment on Trump's suggestion that it knew about the attacker.

Richard Aylmer-Hall, 53, who was on the train when the blast occurred, said he saw people injured after being trampled.

"There was a woman on the platform who said she had seen a bag, a flash and a bang, so obviously something had gone off," he said. "Some people got pushed over and trampled on, I saw two women being treated by ambulance crews."

Hall said he didn't believe anyone was injured by the actual device.

"It was an absolutely packed, rush-hour District Line train from Wimbledon to Edgware Road. I saw crying women, there was lots of shouting and screaming, there was a bit of a crush on the stairs going down to the streets," he told Sky News.

Emma Stevie, a passenger on the train during the fire, told the BBC she became mixed in a "human stampede."

"I wedged myself in next to a railing, I put myself in the fetal position," she said.

"There was a pregnant woman underneath me, and I was trying really hard not to crush her.

"I saw a poor little boy with a smashed-in head and other injuries. It was horrible.

"The injuries from the stampede seemed the worst. I'm outside now, there are women crying and people sitting on the floor."

British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said people should "keep calm and go about their normal lives" following the incident, adding that it would be "wrong to speculate."

May said Britain's official threat level from terrorism remained at "severe," meaning an attack is highly likely, and has not been raised in the wake of the bombing.

The London Underground itself has been targeted several times in the past, notably in July 2005, when suicide bombers blew themselves up on three subway trains and a bus, killing 52 people and themselves. Four more bombers tried a similar attack two weeks later, but their devices failed to detonate fully.

A baby boy was born weighing less than 1.5 pounds. The baby was born 4 months early.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A baby boy who was born weighing less than 1.5 pounds at just 22 weeks gestation is finally ready to head home after spending four months in the hospital. Baby Leni, whose mom Chastity said she didn't' realize she was in labor at the time, has been receiving care at Sutter Medical Center in Sacramento, KTVU reported.

"I didn't even know I was in labor at first," 20-year-old Chastity told KCRA. "He wasn't a regular baby. He was blue and purple. I didn't think he was going to live, and I'm looking at my son like, 'Oh my God please live. Don't die on me.'"
TEEN WITH 'RAPUNZEL SYNDROME' DIES FROM EATING HER OWN HAIR
Chastity wound up giving birth in an emergency delivery at home and watched Sacramento Fire Department medics work to resuscitate Leni, who was given about a 5 percent chance of survival. A hospital spokesman told the news outlet that Leni, who now weighs 6 pounds, 3.5 ounces, is the youngest newborn to be resuscitated.

"He wasn't supposed to live through the first week he was born," Chastity told KTVU. "He had an IV in his head. They had to open it and put it in the back of his head. He had so many surgeries."
COULD RARE BRAIN-EATING AMOEBA THRIVE IN IRMA'S AFTERMATH?
While Chastity and hospital staff celebrated Leni's impending release, he will require follow-up exams to monitor his vision, kidneys and lungs. A member of the fire department who responded to Chastity's initial call was also there to mark the occasion.

"You guys came right on time. You were so efficient with everything and so quick and so patient," Chastity told firefighter David Robinson, according to KTVU. " You saved his life."

Miss Texas, Margana Wood, was asked about what she thought of the Charlottesville incident. She didn't hesitate to say that it was an act of terrorism, and that white supremacists were responsible.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The most recent Miss America pageant brought all of this back to me, when judge Jess Cagle of People magazine asked Miss Texas, Margana Wood, to comment on President Trump's response to last month's deadly events in Charlottesville.

She didn't hesitate -- she answered with something even President Trump would not say, stating that white supremacists were responsible and that it was an act of terrorism. "And I think that President Donald Trump should have made a statement earlier addressing the fact, and making sure all Americans feel safe in this country, that is the number one issue right now." Oh, and she did all this in 15 seconds.

The amazement Miss Texas generated in delivering a cogent answer might have seemed like a win for pageant women in general, another much-needed example of how women can have equal parts intelligence and beauty. But it also sparked some patronizing commentary -- a tone of surprise that a Southern belle who won the swimsuit award also reads the news and can express her opinions effectively.

She -- like all of us who have made it to the top five -- was entirely on her own up on stage. Millions of eyeballs are judging whether you're smart or dumb while giving an answer in the amount of time it takes for Usain Bolt to complete the 200-meter dash.

Miss America contestants must fit their responses within the remarkably tiny time frame of 20 seconds, all while simultaneously demonstrating every positive characteristic in a Tinder profile; funny, warm, personable, responsible, intelligent, easygoing, fit, cooks well, good with kids, blah blah blah. You've also got to smile, suck in your stomach, and look calm and collected on the outside, while on the inside, your adrenalin is charging like you're dangling off a cliff.

I was in her position four years ago, when I thrillingly also became a Miss America finalist and was prompted for my thoughts on another critical question confronting our nation -- whether US intervention in Syria was the right thing to do. I could just as easily been asked whether political wives should stay with a cheating husband, which was an actual question for another finalist.

Though it was the most nerve-racking moment of my life, I said what I thought -- that the US needed to act, preferably with the involvement of Congress -- and right away, people started pointing to similarities between my answer and Barack Obama's public statements about whether Congress would let our country defend human rights in the Middle East.

And, to make matters even worse, the next morning I woke up to an article on Buzzfeed's homepage picking apart my answer. Buzzfeed pointed out that my answers were similar to President Obama's, though they did credit me with summing up in 17 seconds what it took him 15 minutes to say. Some of the coverage from other outlets, even when they said my answer was good, implied that this was somehow surprising.

Having been on the other side, I can attest that once the question has been asked, only two things happen. The first is actually answering, and the second is hoping your answer isn't so awful that you go viral for the wrong reasons. It is every contestant's nightmare to botch it, becoming the latest newsfeed laughingstock, sinking you down into pageant infamy and months of low self-esteem. Hours of mock interviews and keeping up with the news can only defend so far against inexperience and brain fog.

What most viewers don't realize is that contestants truly receive no warning or heads up about what we're going to be asked. We don't get to prepare buzzwords or mull over sound bites in the dressing room. There's no calling mom and dad to help brainstorm politically correct phrasing.

Even having the smartphone I snuck with me backstage, smuggled in in my bra, would be no help. Some of the collective online reaction to my answer or Margana Wood's response surely reflects an awareness of just how hard it is to perform under pressure. But it also testifies to enduring and sexist stereotypes about women.

When the Internet goes nuts over a pageant answer, even though I've had the experience myself, I'm always amazed how persistent the classic "beautiful but dumb" archetype is, even in the 21st century. It's reinforced everyday by the imbalance of genders in empowered positions - something I've seen firsthand, working in tech in Silicon Valley.

It's easily imposed on beautiful women because observers can't resolve their own cognitive dissonance. Not everyone (knowingly) shares the overly simplistic belief that a woman is either prettier than she is smart, or smarter than she is pretty. But too many do.

Whether or not they're wearing a crown and sash, women across all industries have had to face some kind of preconceived assumptions about them based on their appearance. Pageants have their place as an American cultural tradition dating back to 1921, and I personally look forward to any reminder that intellect and beauty are not mutually exclusive.

The number of people raising their eyebrows at how strong Miss Texas' answer was shows just how far women still have to go.

16 year old student in the UK dies while away at college due to an infection caused by a hair ball in her stomach.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A 16-year-old student in the U.K. died suddenly while away at college due to an infection caused by a hairball in her stomach. Jasmine Beever, of Skegness, was taken to the hospital via ambulance on September 7, where staff attempted life-saving resuscitation, LicolnshireLive.com reported.

An autopsy later revealed that Beever had suffering from peritonitis, which occurs when the thin membrane that covers the abdominal wall is inflamed, which is typically due to a fungal or bacterial infection. Beever's case was caused by the infected hairball in her stomach, and eventually led to a burst ulcer that caused her organs to shut down.

Patients who swallow their own hair are often diagnosed with Rapunzel syndrome, which is caused by a psychiatric disorder called trichophagia, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health.

"Jasmine was amazing," Donna Marshall, a friend's mother, told LicolnshireLive.com. "She was one of those kids where she would make a sad face in the room smile. She was so bubbly."

Marshall called the teen's death a shock. Marshall's daughter, a longtime friend of the teen, set up a Just Giving page for donations to help the family cover medical expenses.

Suspect thrown off roof by 83 year old resident during hours long standoff and after a high speed chase.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A man who was jumping rooftops in La Puente, evading police for nearly five hours, was finally stopped when a man who lives in the home he was on top of actually climbed up and threw him off the roof on Tuesday.

The moment was captured in a cellphone video that shows 83-year-old Wilford Burgess climbing up a ladder onto the roof of his home, first approaching the man and then pushing him off.

It all started when Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department deputies received a call from someone who said they were being followed around 6:30 a.m. in the 14100 block of Beckner Street, officials said. From that call, authorities eventually discovered a man jumping from one rooftop to another as he fled from police.

The roof-jumping went on for several hours as the Sheriff's Department even brought in a crisis negotiator to try convincing him to come down, officials said.

"He wasn't staying in one place," Burgess said. "He'd be on one edge and then around on the other parts."

After the man was on Burgess' roof for about an hour or so, Burgess said he felt it was time to try taking matters into his own hands. He decided to bring out a ladder and climb up there himself.

"He'd been up there too long," Burgess said. "I figured ... if they can't get him off, I can."

Burgess' grandaughter, Ashley Wrenn, captured the whole scene on video. She said she isn't surprised her grandfather did what he did.

"He's like the strongest person in our family. I mean, he keeps us all together. ... It wasn't a surprise to us. That's papa," she said, laughing.

Lawyer is put in prison for 18 months for defrauding the IRS out of millions of dollars in tax.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A former Chicago attorney has been sentenced to 18 months in prison for orchestrating a tax fraud scheme that impacted the finances of several National Football League players.

During a hearing Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Harry Leinenweber said Gary Stern's scheme not only defrauded the IRS out of millions of dollars in tax revenue but also financially damaged victims like former New England Patriots and Baltimore Ravens linebacker Adalius Thomas.

Thomas told the court his credit has been so ruined by Stern's schemes that he can't lease a car.

Before being sentenced, the 58-year-old Stern wept as he apologized to his family and victims.

Stern pleaded guilty last year to funneling renewable energy tax credits through multiple business entities for wealthy clients to claim at least nearly $5 million in tax credits. Nearly 20 current and former NFL stars lost money as part of the fraud.

Multiple people were injured and 1 is dead after a Wasington school shooting

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
At least one person was killed and three injured following a shooting at a high school near Spokane, Washington, officials said on Wednesday.

One person died at Freeman High School in Rockford while the three injured victims were taken to a hospital, an official said. The shooter is in custody, according to Spokane County Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich.

The student who was killed, according to KREM, was shot after confronting the shooter. The suspected shooter apparently had two weapons and the first one jammed, at which point he was confronted by the student. He then proceeded to shoot three other students before being detained by a staff member.

The three pediatric patients injured in the incident are currently in satisfactory condition, Sacred Heart Hospital told Fox News.

"The shooter has been apprehended and has been taken into custody with law enforcement," an official said during a news conference following the incident. There were initial reports of multiple shooters but that wound up being false, the official said.

The suspect's identity and motive were not immediately known.

The three victims that survived are all stable and doing well, officials said, although one will need surgery later on Wednesday. No information on specific injuries was provided. None of the three victims were identified.

A parent of a freshman at the school said her son called her from a classroom after hearing the shots fired.

"He called me and said, `Mom there are gunshots.' He sounded so scared. I've never heard him like that," Cheryl Moser told The Spokesman-Review. "You never think about something happening like this at a small school."

Stephanie Lutje said she was relieved to hear her son was safe after his high school near Freeman was put on lockdown. She commended the school district for its communication with parents.

"It's been amazing, within probably 15-20 minutes of hearing about it, I'd already received a phone call, I'd already received a text message saying that their school is OK," she said. Multiple neighboring school districts - including Central Valley and Spoke Public Schools - initially imposed lockdowns as a precaution in reaction to the incident.

Freeman High School has more than 300 students, according to The Spokesman-Review.

Gov. Jay Inslee, D-Wash., said in a statement that "all Washingtonians are thinking of the victims and their families, and are grateful for the service of school staff and first responders working to keep our students safe."

"Heartbreaking headlines out of Spokane county," Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., said on Twitter. "My thoughts are w/ students, teachers, parents, 1st responders & the entire community.

15 Marines injured when vehicle ignites on California base.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Eight Marines were rushed to a San Diego burn center and seven others were also hospitalized after their amphibious vehicle caught fire during a training exercise at a military base.

Three of the Marines were listed in critical condition Wednesday afternoon at the Burn Center at the University of California San Diego Health and five were in serious condition, the Marine Corps said in a statement. Four other Marines were rushed to the University of California Irvine Medical Center in nearby Orange County, including two in critical condition there.

Another Marine at a hospital in the San Diego suburb of La Jolla was in stable condition and two others were treated for minor injuries at a Navy hospital at Camp Pendleton.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with the Marines and their families affected by this incident," a Marine Corps statement said.

The Marines from the 1st Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment and 3rd Assault Amphibian Battalion were conducting a combat readiness evaluation as part of their battalion training at about 9:30 a.m. on a beach at Camp Pendleton Marine Corps base, north of San Diego, when the amphibious vehicle ignited, said Marine 1st Lt. Paul Gainey.

According to a defense official who was not authorized to discuss the incident publicly, so spoke on condition of anonymity, the amphibious vehicle got stuck and then caught fire as the Marines were trying to free it.

The command is investigating the cause of the incident. Gainey said he had no further information to release at this time.

The armored vehicle is used to carry Marines and their equipment from Navy ships onto land. It resembles a tank and travels through water before coming ashore. It has been used in the Marine Corps since the 1970s.

In 2013, a 21-year-old Camp Pendleton Marine died and four others were injured when ordnance ignited an amphibious assault vehicle during a training exercise at Marine Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms, in the California desert. The Marine Corps has since developed a safer mine clearing system for its amphibious assault vehicles.

Chastity wound up giving birth in an emergency delivery at home and watched Sacramento Fire Department medics work to resuscitate Leni, who was given about a 5 percent chance of survival. A hospital spokesman told the news outlet that Leni, who now weighs 6 pounds, 3.5 ounces, is the youngest newborn to be resuscitated.

"He wasn't supposed to live through the first week he was born," Chastity told KTVU. "He had an IV in his head. They had to open it and put it in the back of his head. He had so many surgeries."
COULD RARE BRAIN-EATING AMOEBA THRIVE IN IRMA'S AFTERMATH?
While Chastity and hospital staff celebrated Leni's impending release, he will require follow-up exams to monitor his vision, kidneys and lungs. A member of the fire department who responded to Chastity's initial call was also there to mark the occasion.

"You guys came right on time. You were so efficient with everything and so quick and so patient," Chastity told firefighter David Robinson, according to KTVU. " You saved his life."

A couple in suburban Atlanta will likely never forget Monday, the day they became parents of twins.

Wife Heather Yavaliollah went into labor inside their home, but couldn't get out because a storm resulting from Hurricane Irma had knocked down a tree, blocking the door.

That's when husband Mehrvarz Yavaliollah sprang into action, Atlanta's Fox 5 reported.

He ran to a shed and grabbed a chainsaw that was stored under some outdoor furniture they had stored away.

Then he started cutting away at the tree.

"My wonderful neighbors saw me outside. They kind of knew the situation, so they started grabbing limbs as I was cutting them off and helped move them to the street. So very thankful to them," Mehrvarz Yavaliollah said.

With a path cleared, the Yavaliollahs tried to head toward a hospital - but their truck wouldn't start.

Eventually, Heather made it to Piedmont Hospital and delivered two healthy baby boys, Stuart and Solomon.

"Everything looked fine, and we were not expecting anything to happen," Heather Yavaliollah said. "And then Irma came along and changed all of that."

As for the boys, born a month before their due date: "Sweet little angels," their mom said. "So Irma was no indication of their behavior."

Spokane school shooting stopped by hero janitor, authorities say

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A school custodian stopped a suspect from continuing a shooting rampage that killed one student and injured three others at a high school near Spokane, Wash., authorities said Wednesday.

The Spokane County Sheriff's Office said Wednesday evening that the custodian approached the suspect at Freeman High School during the incident that morning and ordered him to surrender.

The suspect brought two weapons to the school in Rockford, south of Spokane, but the first one he tried to fire jammed, Spokane County Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich told reporters.

"He went to his next weapon," Knezovich said. "A student walked up to him, engaged him, and that student was shot. That student did not survive."

The sheriff said the suspect fired more rounds down the hallway, striking the other students, before the custodian intervened, Knezovich said.

He added that the janitor's actions were a courageous act that prevented further bloodshed.

A Spokane County deputy who works as a school resource officer arrived shortly thereafter and took the suspect into custody.

The three victims who survived were all stable and doing well, officials said, although one was expected to need surgery later Wednesday. No information on specific injuries was provided. None of the three victims was identified.

A two-lane road into the town of about 500 people near the Idaho border was clogged as worried parents sped to the school. Some people abandoned their cars on the street to get to their children.

Cheryl Moser said her son, a freshman, called her from a classroom after hearing shots fired.

"He called me and said, 'Mom, there are gunshots.' He sounded so scared. I've never heard him like that," Moser told the Spokesman Review of Spokane. "You never think about something happening like this at a small school."

Michael Harper, a 15-year-old sophomore student at Freeman, told the Associated Press that the suspect had long been obsessed with past school shootings. He said he saw the student at school with a duffel bag and that the suspect had brought notes to school in the beginning of the year, saying he might get killed or jailed. Harper said some students alerted counselors.

Harper said the suspect had many friends and was not bullied, calling him "nice and funny and weird" and a huge fan of the TV show "Breaking Bad."

Witnesses said the suspect rode the schools bus Wednesday morning with a pistol and rifle stashed in his duffel bag, the Spokesman-Review reported.

Knezovich said at the afternoon news conference that the suspect, whom he declined to identify, had no apparent accomplices and was being held in the county's juvenile detention center.

"It sounds like a case of a bullying type of situation," he said at the news conference, without elaborating.

An Italian couple died trying to rescue their 11-year-old son after he fell into a volcanic crater in Italy on Tuesday, according to local reports.

The boy reportedly walked into a prohibited area at the Solfatara Crater in Pozzuoli Italy, and may have fallen into the crater after fainting from the fumes, the ANSA news agency reported.

The mother and father reportedly rushed to their son's aid and were sucked into the crater, where they perished alongside their son, Naples police told CNN.

According to CNN, the area around the crater is known for a type of quicksand, and the ground is extremely unstable.

The singer posted a photo on Instagram that shows her and fellow actress Francia Raisa holding hands across their hospital beds.

"I'm very aware some of my fans had noticed I was laying low for part of the summer and questioning why I wasn't promoting my new music, which I was extremely proud of," Gomez wrote in the caption." "So I found out I needed to get a kidney transplant due to my Lupus and was recovering."

Gomez revealed her Lupus diagnosis in 2015 and last year took some time off as she struggled with the disease as well as anxiety and depression.

The superstar said the transplant was "what I needed to do for my overall health."

She said she looked forward to sharing more with her fans later about her transplant journey, but in the meantime she wanted to thank her health team and Raisa.

"She gave me the ultimate gift and sacrifice by donating her kidney to me," Gomez said. "I am incredibly blessed. I love you so much sis."

Raisa is an actress best known for her role as Adrian Lee on the TV series "The Secret Life of the American Teenager."

On Thursday, Gomez fans swarmed Raisa's latest Instragram photo to thank her for the kidney donation.

"You're amazing," one person commented. "You're one hell of a friend."

According to the United Network for Organ Sharing, last year more than 33,000 transplants were performed in the United States (33,610). More than 13,000 of them were kidney transplants, 5,629 from living donors.

Two men were arrested Wednesday after an officer found a utility pole strapped to the top of a vehicle in Jacksonville, days after Hurricane Irma spawned severe flooding in the city.

The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office tweeted a picture of the shirtless men sitting handcuffed on the sidewalk.

"These two were caught stealing a JEA pole just this morning! Citizens watching out and officers cleaning up = partnership! #Irma #JSO," the sheriff's office wrote.

Police said 42-year-old Blake Lee Waller and 46-year-old Victor Walter Apeler were arrested on grand theft charges after someone reported seeing them load the pole onto a sports utility vehicle.
MIAMI POLICE RAMP UP PATROLS TO COMBAT LOOTING
A police report obtained by the Associated Press said an officer noticed a light pole missing from an area on top of a bridge. He later spotted a vehicle driving with the pole on top, stopped the vehicle and arrested the men.

Apeler told investigators he was moving the pole because it was on the ground close to traffic lanes, according to the report.

A database search found Apeler had 72 scrap metal-related transactions for recycling since January.

Pregnant Maryland teacher missing and found dead and her boyfriend is now arrested

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A pregnant teacher who went missing in Maryland last week has been found dead.

Laura Elizabeth Wallen, 31, was found buried in a shallow grave in Damascus on Wednesday, according to the Montgomery County Police Department.

Police said that Tyler Tessier, Wallen's boyfriend and believed to be the father of Wallen's unborn child, was arrested for her murder around 5:30 p.m. Wednesday.

Wallen, who was four months pregnant, was last heard from on Sept. 3, when she sent a text message to her family, which police described as "troubling."

The pregnant teacher didn't show up to her first day of school on Sept. 5. On Sept. 7, her vehicle was found parked five minutes away from the school she worked at.
PREGNANT MARYLAND TEACHER REPORTED MISSING AFTER SENDING 'TROUBLING' TEXT MESSAGE
On Monday, Wallen's father, Mark, pleaded with the public at a news conference for information on his daughter and was offering a $25,000 reward for anything on her whereabouts, while Tessier, who also spoke, said he was praying Wallen would be found safe.

"Laura, if you are listening, it doesn't matter what's happened, it doesn't matter what type of trouble, there is nothing we can't fix together - myself and your family," Tessier said, according to Fox 5 DC. "There are so many people, so many people that miss you, so many people who were out, who haven't slept. We haven't eaten. We are just looking or praying that you are safe."

After Wallen's body was discovered, Howard County Public Schools, with which Wallen was a high school social studies teacher since 2014, released a statement:

"It is with a heavy heart that we share the news that Wilde Lake High School teacher Ms. Laura Wallen was found deceased tonight by Montgomery County Police. ... The Howard County mobile crisis team will be at Wilde Lake High School this evening to provide support to the entire Wilde Lake community. There additionally will be large teams of people available at Wilde Lake High School and Murray Hill Middle School tomorrow to support every student and staff member that need somebody to talk to."

The school's "Gathering of Hope" event scheduled for Wednesday night has reportedly been canceled.
