Police arrest and stare down accused cop killer in Mississppi.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The 19-year-old accused in the brazen murder of a decorated, veteran cop flashed a smirk as he walked a gauntlet of law enforcement officials who'd gathered to watch him booked into the same Biloxi police station outside of which he's believed to have killed Robert McKeithen.

John Miller, the Mississippi police chief whose cops tracked down Darian Tawan Atkinson, said Monday night his department feels "vindicated" after arresting the suspected killer.

Atkinson was yanked out of a police cruiser to some clapping and cheering, but his emergence was mostly met by the dozens of officers who had gathered to witness the scene - including agents from the Border Patrol and FBI - silently staring him down as he was marched inside the building.

"These officers... some of them have been up for 38, 40, 44 hours," Miller said. "We thought it would be fitting for them to be here and see the arrest that they worked so hard to try to make."

He added: "I'm not bothered by his smile."

Investigators on Tuesday are still trying to determine why McKeithen - an Air Force veteran and recipient of the Medal of Valor for helping save the lives of special needs children during Hurricane Katrina - was targeted Sunday night, just months before his planned retirement.

McKeithen, who served the Biloxi Police Department for 24 years, was shot near his police car in the facility's parking lot. He later died at a local hospital.

The suspect fled following the attack - sparking a frenzied manhunt in the Mississippi Gulf Coast city for much of Monday, involving SWAT teams and multiple law enforcement agencies at the federal, state and local levels.

A surveillance video had captured Atkinson wandering into police headquarters at some point prior to the attack, giving investigators a clear image of the man they were looking for. His identity was confirmed through tips and interviews, Gulfport police Spokesman Sgt. James Griffin told the Associated Press.

But Atkinson remained elusive -- until an eagle-eyed Biloxi officer spotted him by chance as he drove home after ending his shift, Miller said.

The officer, who was driving through Wiggins, about 30 miles outside of Biloxi, spotted a man walking on the side of the road who looked like Atkinson.

Miller said the officer called Wiggins police, who responded to the scene and arrested the man - who turned out to be him.

Miller told reporters Monday that Atkinson is now facing a capital murder charge and at least one other person will be charged with accessory for helping him flee Biloxi.

"We want to make sure that we have a solid case," Miller said. "We want the district attorney to be pleased with the case that we present. And we want this guy to pay for what he has done."

Miller also said the department feels "vindicated" after a "long couple of days" surrounding the death of McKeithen. He hailed the community for their support, noting that residents have sent them cards and brought food down to the police station for officers working on the case.

The slain officer's cruiser is still parked outside of the Biloxi Police Department headquarters and has turned into a makeshift memorial. Its hood by Monday afternoon was completely covered with flowers, balloons and American flags.

"There are no words that are going to make this better for them," Miller said when asked if he had a message for McKeithen's family. He leaves behind a wife, daughter, two stepsons and a stepdaughter.

"I hope in some small way making this arrest tonight will bring them some closure. But there is no words," he added. "I've talked to Mrs. McKeithen several times - there is no words to make her feel better."

McKeithen's funeral will be held at a local church on Monday, May 13.

Overland Park man arrested for murder of Italian shop owner

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
VITERBO, Italy - Italian police have arrested a 22-year-old American and accused him of killing a 74-year-old Italian owner of a clothing store in Viterbo, a city near Rome.

Police arrested Michael Aaron Pang on Saturday and allege he killed the Italian storekeeper by striking him with a stool. The body of Norveo Fedeli was found inside his store Friday, Lt. Col. Guglielmo Trombetta said.

Trombetta said Pang, who was born in South Korea, is a graphic designer from the Kansas City area who arrived in Italy about two months ago. Trombetta said it was unclear why Pang was in Italy. He said the suspect has not spoken yet with detectives.

Pang's lawyer, Remigio Sicilia, said he came to Italy on a tourist's visa and had a desire to learn Italian and work in Italy. He said Pang is from Overland Park, Kansas, a suburb of Kansas City.

Sicilia said Pang appeared to have no criminal past, but 41 Action News found a guilty plea for a minor in consumption/possession of liquor from July 2014. Pang, a juvenile at the time, was sentenced to nine months of probation, serving seven months before he was released early, according to court records.

Pang attended Blue Valley Northwest High School and the University of Missouri-Kansas City.

"He's 22, but he is like a child," the lawyer said. "He's a well-behaved boy from a good American family."

Trombetta said Pang ordered designer clothes worth about 600 euros ($670) from Fedeli's store. He said Pang had gone to the store twice before Friday to purchase the clothes, but his credit card was rejected.

Police allege Pang and Fedeli scuffled before Pang killed the storekeeper. Police say Pang changed his clothes and took the man's wallet before fleeing the store with one of his shoes covered in a bag because it was stained in blood.

Police say they found Fedeli's stolen wallet and other evidence linking Pang to the killing at a room he rented in Capodimonte, a lake town near Viterbo.

Pang, who faces murder and robbery charges, is expected to appear in court Monday, Trombetta said.

Ye old plague

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A Mongolian couple died of the bubonic plague -- reportedly after eating raw marmot -- prompting a six-day quarantine that left a number of tourists stranded in the region.

The couple had consumed the raw meat and kidney of a marmot, believed by some to be a folk remedy for good health, Ariuntuya Ochirpurev of the World Health Organization told the BBC.

The rodent is a known carrier of Yersinia pestis, the bacterium commonly associated with the highly contagious bubonic plague.
WHAT IT'S LIKE TO HAVE THE BUBONIC PLAGUE
Following the couple's deaths on May 1, a quarantine was issued in Mongolia's western Bayan Olgii province, which borders China and Russia.

More than 100 people, including foreign tourists from Switzerland, Sweden, Kazakhstan and South Korea, had come into contact with the couple and were isolated and treated with antibiotics, according to Ochirpurev.

The quarantine was lifted Monday after no other cases were reported.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says modern antibiotics are effective in treating plague, but without immediate care the infection can cause serious illness or even death. Patients typically develop fever, headache, chills, weakness and painful swelling in the lymph nodes.

"The Black Death," as it was known at the time, killed millions of people in the Middle Ages, but cases now are uncommon.

Human plague infections do continue to occur in the western United States, but significantly more cases occur in parts of Africa and Asia, according to the CDC.

Minneapolis girl, 11, hit by car after getting off school bus

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A young Minneapolis girl was in critical condition on Monday after she was hit by a car while exiting her school bus.

Shianne Dean, an 11-year-old student at Stonebridge World School in southern Minneapolis, was getting off her school bus on Friday afternoon when a driver slammed into her, leaving her in critical condition, police said.

Gregory Garth, 60, was arrested on the scene on charges of criminal vehicular operation, police said. He was released as of Monday pending formal charges, according to the Minneapolis Police Department.

Witnesses said he was traveling at high-speed when he allegedly attempted to go around the stopped bus. Authorities are investigating whether the bus stop arm was out at the time of the incident.

Minneapolis police spokesperson Sergeant Darcy Horn said investigators will look into if driver may have been speeding or was intoxicated before the accident.

"It's a shocking case and it's upsetting to everyone," Horn told ABC News in an interview on Monday. "When drivers see school buses whenever they're driving through neighborhood areas they use caution and look out, not only for pedestrians and children but also for vehicles and bicyclists that may be stopped."

Monarch Bus Company, operator of the bus involved, said it was doing all it could to help with the investigation.

"Student safety is of utmost importance to us, and that is why our foremost thoughts and prayers are with the student, her family, and the entire Stonebridge World School community," the school bus operator said. "We are working with local law enforcement and the school during the ongoing investigation of this incident."

LaTonya Williams, Shianne's mom, said the accident left her angry and heartbroken.

"She was getting off the bus coming from school, from learning, and you struck a child," she told ABC affiliate WHAS on Monday. "That's not fair."

She said her daughter was fighting for her life.

"She's a fighter," she said. "And all I can see is my daughter laying there with her eyes rolling in the back of her head."

"She's a fun-loving girl. Always smiling. Really helpful," she added.

A mother begs for her 4-year-old daughter's safe return

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The mother of a 4-year-old girl who went missing in Houston over the weekend made a tearful plea Monday night for the child's safe return following her alleged abduction.

Maleah Davis was reported kidnapped by her stepfather, Darion Vence, who told police he was driving to George Bush Intercontinental Airport on Friday night to pick up the girl's mother when he pulled over to check on a possible flat tire.

Vence claimed he was then attacked by two men, who held him and his two children - Maleah and her 2-year-old brother - before releasing him and the boy on Saturday night.

The distraught mother begged Texans to keep their eyes peeled for her little girl.

"I just want to find Meleah and I love her so much. I love her so much," Brittany Bowens said Monday night. "If there's anybody that can help me, please, please, I just want to find my baby. I just want to find her."

Brittany's grandmother, Brenda Bowens had a direct message for her grandmother.

"If she's listening to this, I want you to know that Nana loves you and I promise to take you to Lake Charles and I still want to do that," Brenda Bowens said. "I want to fulfill my promise that I told you the other day. And I miss you and I love you."

A volunteer search crew resumed its efforts Tuesday morning, scouring fields near the Houston airport, looking for the missing toddler.

The organization, Texas EquuSearch, which uses mounted patrols to search rugged terrains for missing persons, is also on the lookout for Brittany Bowens' silver Nissan, which Vence was driving Friday night and is also missing.

Tim Miller, founder and director of Texas EquuSearch, had his volunteers searching for that car in nearby Sugarland, where security footage spotted it over the weekend.

"It'll hopefully stand out if this car is in this area which I feel as though the car is somewhere in this area, close," Miller said.

Sister in law eats Bride's food when she goes to the bathroom

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A bride was left furious after discovering that her sister-in-law had eaten her wedding dinner while she popped to the bathroom.

The newlywed took to Mumsnet where she asked fellow parents whether she was being "unreasonable" to be annoyed over the situation.

Posting in the parenting forum the anonymous woman explained that she had no more than "two or three bites" of her dinner of stuffed lamb before she went to the restroom.

She and her bridesmaid went to the bathroom together and ended up chatting for several minutes before she returned to her seat.

She wrote, "Walked in, saw my [sister-in-law] sat in my seat next to my new husband, thought it was a bit cheeky but fair enough, I'd left him for a bit eating his meal.

"Approached the table, to find my SIL had FINISHED OFF MY PLATE???!!! I didn't know what to do except stand there a bit shell shocked! She apologized for been sat in my seat (didn't mention the food) and started to walk off, well my jaw must have been on the floor.

"I stopped her and asked her if she'd eaten my food and in her words 'yes, I figured you'd had enough as you're dieting and you walked off and left it'.

"I was speechless, she's stood there with a smug look on her face, my husband's sat there looking sheepish, I explained to her I'd simply gone to the toilet and she said 'oh sorry, well there's still dessert I guess' and walked off!"

The incensed bride then questioned her hubby as to why he hadn't got involved.

She continued, "Asked my husband why the hell he let her sit there and eat my food and he turns bright red and said he thought I'd finished too. Great. Fuming.

"Didn't want to kick off on my wedding day and make a scene so sat back down in front of my empty plate, looking longingly around the room at the people eating slowly who hadn't yet finished and pretended everything was OK."

But while the bride's in-laws certainly didn't see the big deal fellow Mumsnet users were equally shocked, commenting to express their outrage over the guest's "awful" behavior.

One said, "No you are not being unreasonable and I can't believe she wasn't embarrassed at all. That's so awful."

"I would be furious!! Who does that?" added another.

While a third commented, "1. Who the hell eats someone else's meal unless they have been told they can finish it?

"2. Who the hell does that at a wedding? This isn't finishing a plate of chips at Weatherspoon's!

"3. Who the hell does that to the bride?!?"

The thread has since been deleted by Mumsnet.

Off Duty Officer pulls woman out of flaming car in San Antonio

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Andrew Jazbani and Eric Galy were driving back from a friend's house early Wednesday morning when they passed a car. It was lying on its side.

At first, they weren't sure if there had been an accident or if the car was abandoned, said Jazbani, a St. Mary's University student. But they saw "a little bit of flames" and decided to turn around, he said.

"We parked the car, ran over, and saw there was a woman trapped with her seat belt on," he said. "She was inhaling all this smoke."

The frantic efforts that followed ended with a rescue by an off-duty police officer seconds before the car exploded.

It had rolled over after hitting a guardrail near Evers and Bandera roads just after 3 a.m., police said. Galy "tried cracking open the door" and opening the window, but the woman wasn't able to climb out, Jazbani said.

The two were trying to free her when Sgt. Kenneth Hamilton, an off-duty St. Mary's University police officer, "miraculously showed up," Jazbani said.

Hamilton was on his way home from work when he saw the accident, he said in a video interview shared by the university.

"He pulls out his baton, and starts doing work on the windshield," Jazbani recalled.

"That wasn't working well, so one of the young men asked me if I wanted a rock," Hamilton said.

"He (Jazbani) brings back this piece of concrete and starts throwing it at the windshield."

"He did that several times, enough for me to be able to start kicking it in," Hamilton said. "And once I kicked it in enough, I just grabbed it and pulled it out."

The three smelled gasoline, heard popping and cracking sounds.

At one point, "I was scared for my life, I could literally feel the flames on my arms," Jazbani said. "It sounded like it was about to explode."

Hamilton "told us to get out of the way," Jazbani said.

While the officer pulled the woman out, he starting recording video, capturing Hamilton's heroics on his phone.

His earlier video also caught Hamilton pulling the glass away from the car, then reaching in to free the woman. "He yelled at us to get back. It's admirable by him that he was looking out for us as well," Jazbani said. "Literally right after the police officer pulled her out, like 10 to 20 seconds, the car blew up."

"We all just ran for cover."

Other police officers, an ambulance and fire truck arrived as the car was engulfed in flames, Jazmani said. Paramedics took the woman to University Hospital for treatment for minor injuries, police said.

"At first, it seemed like maybe people were just trying to get rid of a car or flip it over, it didn't seem like an accident or anything," Jazbani said. "It's not like we haven't seen crazy stuff before" in that area.

"But we pulled over just in case," he said. "You should never really just drive by or be a bystander, you never know when you can be of help. I'm glad that we did."

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signs controversial 'heartbeat' bill into law

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signed the "heartbeat" bill into law Tuesday morning.

Kemp kept his campaign promise in signing the bill, HB 481, technically called the "Living Infants Fairness and Equality (LIFE) Act, that will prohibit abortions in the state after a heartbeat is detected, as early as six weeks into a pregnancy. The law allows exceptions in the case of rape, incest, or if the life of the mother is in danger.

Before the signing of the bill, State Rep. Ed Setzler, pointed to science, law, and the simple fact that common sense says a beating heart is a sign of life and those children should receive the full protection of the law.
GEORGIA GOVERNOR TO SIGN 'HEARTBEAT BILL' ON TUESDAY
"Georgia is a state that values life," Kemp said before putting his signature to the LIFE Act. "We stand up for those who are unable to speak for themselves."

Kemp said he recognizes the bill will be challenged.

"But our job is to do what is right, not what is easy," Kemp added. "We will not back down. We will always continue to fight for life."

Opponents have promised to sue over the constitutionality of the bill and argue that because some women don't know they are pregnant when a heartbeat is detectable that the new law virtually bans all abortions in the state. It has been called the most extreme abortion law in the nation.

Supporters trumpet the bill -- similar to ones passed in Kentucky, Mississippi, Ohio, Iowa, and North Dakota -- as protecting the constitutional right of unborn children and allowing pregnant mothers to collect child support payments from fathers.

The "heartbeat" bill will go into effect at the beginning of next year.

The bill made national headlines recently when liberal activist and actress Alyssa Milano, who has been filming a Netflix comedy in Atlanta, made headlines when she marched into Kemp's office with a letter last month to speak out on the "heartbeat bill." The letter was signed by 50 celebrities who vowed to boycott the state, which has a burgeoning movie industry, if the bill was signed into law.

State Sen. Renee Unterman, who ushered the bill through the state Senate, said she has waited her entire time as a legislator for this moment, calling it the "culmination of my political career."
