A married couple -- both of whom were former United States soldiers -- were reportedly found dead in their Italian home Monday after a grisly murder-suicide.

Authorities determined the man killed his wife and then cut his own throat, the Vicenza Today reported.

The woman may have been killed on Easter Sunday and the man might have then waited several hours to take his own life, police told the Italian newspaper.

The couple were found in different rooms of their home in Pozzoleone, where the man had been working as a contractor, according to The Local.

The couple was not immediately identified and no motive was given.

The pair worked at the U.S. military base in Vicenza, located about 45 miles west of Venice, The Local reported.

The surprise firing of former FBI Director James Comey rocked the political world, and now he's re-entering the fray with some revelations that could send shockwaves of their own.

Interested in James Comey?

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

Comey weighed in on some of the most hot-button figures of the moment during an exclusive interview with ABC News chief anchor George Stephanopoulos ahead of the April 17 release of his book "A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership."

Here are some of the most interesting opinions that Comey shared that could have an impact politically.

1. Rosenstein viewed as 'dishonorable'

Comey said that his view of deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein was colored by the memorandum Rosenstein wrote to Attorney General Jeff Sessions that was cited by the White House as the reasoning for Comey's firing. The memorandum criticized Comey for his handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation - specifically, for his July 5, 2016 press conference at which he announced the findings of the FBI investigation and his October 28, 2016 letter to Congress stating that the investigation had been reopened due to the discovery of additional emails.

"The way [Director Comey] handled the conclusion of the email investigation was wrong, " Rosenstein wrote. "As a result, the FBI is unlikely to regain public and congressional trust until it has a Director who understands the gravity of the mistakes and pledges never to repeat them."

"The deputy attorney general, in my view, had acted dishonorably by putting out this pretext about why I was fired," Comey told Stephanopoulos.

Comey believed that Trump and his team had acted similarly to mafia families, who, he said, worked to make people feel as if they are part of the family, and in turn, act according to the families' best interests rather than the greater whole.

"He's part of the family now. I can't trust him," Comey said of Rosenstein.

Rosenstein is the one at the Department of Justice who now has authority over special counsel Robert Mueller's team and their investigation into Russian interference in the election, since Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself. There has been much speculation as to whether President Donald Trump will decide to fire Mueller. If he does, most legal experts believe that order would have to go through Rosenstein.

When asked by Stephanopoulos is he believes that Rosenstein would carry out such an order, Comey said that he may not in an effort to make up for Comey's firing.

"I think, given his experience with me, that he has an opportunity in overseeing Bob Mueller to restore some of his professional reputation. And I'm highly confident that he would refuse to abide that order," Comey said of Rosenstein.

2. Sessions seen as 'over matched'

Comey told Stephanopoulos that he was unsure of his views on Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

"I don't know what to make of him. I mean, I only worked with him very briefly before I was fired. My sense of him, maybe it's unfair to him, was that he was over matched for the job. And that the job was much, much bigger than he was. And that he was gonna struggle in it. That's my sense," Comey said.

3. Obama's comments about Clinton's emails were "inappropriate"

Comey didn't limit his criticisms to Republicans, saying that some of President Obama's behavior surrounding the Clinton email scandal baffled him as well.

"We had the problem that President Obama had twice publicly basically said, 'There's no there, there' in an interview with-- on Fox, an interview on 60 Minutes I think, both times he said that," Comey said.

"It really did surprise me. He's a very smart man and a lawyer. And so it surprised me. He shouldn't have done it. It was inappropriate," Comey said.

When asked by Stephanopoulos if Obama was trying to "color the case" against Clinton, Comey said "I don't know. I don't think so."

"He didn't have any insight into the case, at least as far as I know, more than anybody readin' the newspaper did, which was zero 'cause there were no leaks," Comey said. "I think he felt a pressure in the political environment because he wanted Hillary Clinton to be elected, to give her a shot in the arm."

4. Comey would be fine with Kelly quitting now

In the immediate wake of his sudden firing by Trump, Comey received several concerned phone calls. In addition to receiving a confused call from his wife Patrice, who had heard that he was fired before hearing it from Comey directly, and then getting a call from a different friend, Comey says he also got a call from then-Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly, who now serves as Trump's chief of staff.

Kelly "was very upset," Comey said. "He was very emotional and said he had seen the news and that he intended to resign because he wouldn't work for people who would treat someone like me in such a dishonorable way and that he was gonna quit."

Comey said he urged Kelly to remain in the administration.

"Please don't do that, John," Comey recalled telling Kelly. "And I knew him well and still... thought highly of him then, still think highly of him, and I said, 'Please don't do that. This president needs people of character and principle around him, especially this president. Please don't do that.' And I said, 'We need you to stay and serve for the country.'"

"If he called you today saying he intended to quit, what would you tell him?" Stephanopoulos asked.

"I understand. I think you've sacrificed as much as you really can of yourself for the country. And no one would begrudge you leaving. You've done your absolute best. It's come at a cost to you, but that no one can blame you," Comey said.

The White House referred ABC News to the Republican National Committee for comment from Kelly.

"What's dishonorable is that James Comey lied about leaking information to the media, consistently contradicted himself in testimony, and made a series of bizarre decisions as FBI director. That's why Republicans and Democrats alike have said he has no credibility," RNC spokesman Michael Ahrens said in a statement to ABC News.

5. Talk of obstruction of justice

In talking about the controversial conversation he had with Trump after the president excused everyone else from an Oval Office meeting and spoke solely to Comey, the former FBI director said that a specific part of that conversation could be viewed as a form of obstruction of justice.

On that Feb. 14, 2017, meeting, Trump asked everyone else to leave the room, and Comey says, told Comey "I hope you can let this go."

Comey interpreted it as a directive to drop the criminal investigation of Michael Flynn, who had just been forced out from his post as National Security Adviser the day before. Trump has since denied asking Comey that, both directly denying it during a June 2017 press conference and then calling it a "Comey lie" in a December 2017 tweet.

When Stephanopoulos asked Comey if he believes Trump's request constituted an obstruction of justice, Comey replied "possibly."

"I mean, it's certainly some evidence of obstruction of justice. It would depend, and I'm just a witness in this case, not the investigator or prosecutor, it would depend upon other things that reflected on his intent," Comey said.

California crash that killed Hart family may have been intentional

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
He confirmed reports that the speedometer was at 90 mph at the time of the crash, but he said it could have moved during impact or accidentally been manipulated during the investigation.

"Certainly, that does not mean the vehicle was going that fast," Robertson said.

Acting Assistant CHP Chief Greg Baarts said a full vehicle inspection had yet to be completed, but he told reporters that the "complete lack of ... physical evidence" of an accident, like skid marks, was striking.

The bodies of parents Jennifer and Sarah Hart, both 38, and their children Markis, 19, Jeremiah, 14, and Abigail, 14, were found at the site.

Three other children - Devonte, 15, Hannah, 16, and Sierra, 12 - have not been found, but are presumed dead, officials said. Devonte, a young black boy, was photographed in 2014 crying in the arms of a white police officer during a protest in Oregon over the police shooting of an unarmed black teenager in Ferguson, Missouri.

"Three children are still missing and could be in the ocean," Baarts said. "We are trying to determine a timeline, path of travel, and if there were any stops."

He told NBC News that California authorities were "tirelessly searching for the missing children along the coastline," while authorities in California and Washington were "conducting interviews and attempting to establish a timeline and routes of travel in an effort to rule out any other possibilities."

According to neighbors and court records, the family has had troubles in the past, carrying over to a recent investigation into abuse or neglect with the Washington Department of Social and Health Services.

Sarah Hart was charged with a misdemeanor offense of domestic assault against her daughter Abigail in 2011, and neighbors claimed that Devonte would often ask them for food. He said his parents would withhold food as punishment.

The household had previously been visited by Child Protective Services, and neighbors claimed to have called the agency again to report on the family on March 23, before the Harts left on the trip that resulted in the fatal crash.

The state's Department of Social and Health Services said in a statement that the children who were killed would be identified "as potential victims of alleged abuse or neglect."

The Clark County Sheriff's Office obtained a search warrant Thursday to retrieve items like computers, credit cards and bank statements to help determine a probable cause. Baarts said a felony may have been committed.

In addition, no suicide note was found at the home.

Dwayne Johnson reveals battle with depression, mother's suicide attemp

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In an interview with "Express," the movie star talked of battling depression.

"Struggle and pain is real," he said. "I was devastated and depressed."

Johnson said he went through a dark period years ago when injuries ended his dreams of playing professional football.

He was released within a year of signing with the Canadian Football League and shortly after his then-girlfriend broke up with him, Johnson said.

But Johnson said the worst time came when he was a teenager and his mother, Ata Johnson, attempted suicide after they lost their apartment.

"She got out of the car on Interstate 65 in Nashville and walked into oncoming traffic," Johnson said. "I grabbed her and pulled her back on the gravel shoulder of the road."

The "Rampage" star says both he and his mother have gone on to find happiness, and she has blocked the memory of her then 15-year-old saving her from swerving cars and trucks.

"What's crazy about that suicide attempt is that to this day, she has no recollection of it whatsoever," he said. "Probably best she doesn't."

Johnson said he's now using their experiences to try and help others.

"We both healed but we've always got to do our best to pay attention when other people are in pain," he said. "We have to help them through it and remind them they are not alone."

Man shot in head on Facebook Live as friends played with guns

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A Houston man is on life support after he was reportedly shot in the head on Easter while sitting inside a car at a gas station as his friends were playing with two handguns.

Houston police told Click2Houston that the victim, Devyn Holmes, 26, was shot at 2:30 a.m. in a parking lot at a Valero gas station. The video of the incident was posted on Facebook.

Holmes could reportedly be heard in the video telling the woman holding a handgun that she was making him nervous. A moment later, the gun goes off and Holmes could be seen slumped over in the passenger's seat. The two other people in the car exit the vehicle.

Cassandra Damper, 25, was reportedly arrested after she allegedly attempted to wipe off gun residue from her hands. She allegedly told authorities that she was not aware the gun was loaded when it fired.

The second man in the video was not charged.

Holmes is listed in critical condition at Ben Taub Hospital.

Designer of the deadly water slide from Schlitterbahn is now in custody.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
John Schooley, 72, had landed in Texas after a flight from China.

Schooley faces charges of second-degree murder, aggravated battery and aggravated endangerment of child. He is due to be arraigned, then sent to Kansas, the Marshals Service said in a news release.

Besides Schooley, two water park executives and two companies also face criminal charges related to the death of Caleb Schwab, who was decapitated in 2016 while riding what was billed as the world's tallest waterslide.

The co-owner of the Schlitterbahn Waterpark, Jeffrey Henry, faces a second-degree murder charge, and the park's former director of operations, Tyler Austin Miles, has been charged with involuntary manslaughter. The construction company involved in designing and building the slide and the Schlitterbahn park also face charges, according to indictments unsealed in March.

All five defendants are charged with aggravated battery and aggravated child endangerment for injuries suffered by 13 others, including four children, on the water slide before Caleb's death.

In a statement last week to CNN, the Schlitterbahn Waterpark called Caleb's death "terrible and tragic."

"We know that Tyler, Jeff, and John are innocent and that we run a safe operation -- our 40 years of entertaining millions of people speaks to that. We are confident that their innocence will be proven in court where we know the facts will show this was an accident."

Safety standards allegedly 'violated'

The waterslide -- named Verruckt, which means "insane" in German -- was certified in 2014 by Guinness World Records as the world's tallest water slide.

Caleb was killed when the raft he and two women were strapped into "went airborne and collided with the overhead hoops and netting affixed" to the slide. The two women suffered face injuries and lacerations, according to investigators.

Verruckt's design "violated nearly all aspects of the longstanding industry safety standards," according to the indictment. "In fact, the design and operation of the Verruckt complied with few, if any, of the industry safety standards."

The park plans to contest the allegations, including claims it withheld or altered evidence, its statement said.

CNN's Joe Sutton, Marilia Brocchetto and Melissa Gray contributed to this report.

Spring snowstorm in Minnesota causes 25 crashes in 15 minutes.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The storm system that dumped half a foot of snow in Minnesota and the Dakotas on Monday is moving east with 13 states already looking at winter storm warnings, advisories or flash flood watches on Tuesday.

Interested in Weather?

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

The storm system is strengthening in the Great Plains and spreading heavy snow from the Dakotas into Iowa and Minnesota on Tuesday morning.

Further east, into the Ohio Valley, heavy rain is moving through.

As the storm system moves east, spring-like severe storms will break out from Cleveland to Houston.

The biggest threat with these storms will be damaging winds, hail and a few tornadoes through Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee and parts of Arkansas and Mississippi.

To the north, a swath of heavy April snow will fall from Sioux City, Iowa, to Minneapolis and into Green Bay, Wisconsin, and Traverse City, Michigan, where some areas could see 6 to 12 inches of snow.

By Wednesday at noon, the storm system and cold front will approach the East Coast and stretch from Florida to Maine. Some of these storms could be strong to severe with damaging winds and hail. An isolated tornado is also possible.

Bitter cold follows

Bitterly cold air, at least for April standards, will move into the Midwest on Tuesday night into Wednesday and reach the East Coast by Wednesday night.

We are not done with the cold air yet. Another cold blast moves into the Midwest on Friday and spreads into the Northeast on Saturday morning.

trump returns home

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
After a weekend spent at Mar-a-Lago surrounded by loyalists and hangers-on and with advisers who disagree with him either shelved or siloed, President Donald Trump now appears to be entirely unfettered -- a living, breathing political id who also happens to be the most powerful person in the country.

Witness Trump's Tuesday morning on Twitter. Here's a list of the topics, assertions and attacks the President of the United States covered before 7:30 a.m. ET:

Alleged that the mainstream media is pursuing a "sick and biased AGENDA";

Defended Sinclair Broadcasting Group
amid controversy over requiring its anchors to read a prepared statement about honesty in media;
Threatened to take down NAFTA
and/or revoke foreign aid for Honduras and other countries that allow the caravan of asylum seekers to pass through their land;
Called on the Republican-controlled Congress to act on immigration, without making clear what specific proposals he meant;

Wrongly alleged that CNN has some sort of "anti-Trump" requirement in its hiring practices;

Touted a single poll as "honest"
because it shows him in decent political shape;
Referred to his immediate predecessor as "Cheatin' Obama."

That fusillade of tweets comes after a series of attacks on Amazon, a shot at his own "Justice" Department and a declaration that DACA is dead in the last 48 hours. And it also follows hard on Trump's weekend at the so-called "Winter White House" in which he huddled with the likes of Sean Hannity, Jeannine Pirro and Don King -- a who's who of Trump "yes" men (and women) who tell the President that his gut instincts on, well, everything are all that matters.

For much of the first year of the Trump administration, top aides -- usually speaking without their names attached to their quotes -- insisted that the behind-the-scenes activity in the White House was far more chaotic and unhinged than even what made the papers. "If you think that tweet is bad, you should have seen what he wanted to say!" was the constant retort. (That, and, of course, "the tweet speaks for itself.")

The underlying idea was that Trump's political instincts were far more radical, confrontational, antagonistic and divorced from accepted norms of civil behavior than even his most ardent critics supposed. That the "real" Trump was both much more and much less than the public image crafted of him by his advisers.

Over the last few months, a series of stories have emerged that make one thing very clear: Trump feels as though he now "gets" what being President entails. He is no longer cowed or wowed by the office. Instead, he feels entirely comfortable steering the ship of state with little to no input from advisers -- especially those who don't agree with him.

He's jettisoned independent voices within his administration -- Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and national security adviser H.R. McMaster being the most recent and most prominent to go -- and replaced them with people distinguished primarily by their willingness to accede to Trump's wishes on most issues.

Those few stragglers who remain willing to challenge Trump have been largely marginalized. Take chief of staff John Kelly. He wasn't in Florida with Trump over Easter weekend and is the subject of near-constant whispers that he is on his way out of the administration.

Which leaves us with Trump, raw and uncut.

To say Trump has "snapped" or that something has fundamentally changed with him is, I think, to miss the point. This is not a "new" Trump on display of late. This Trump was always there.

We saw more of him during the campaign -- particularly when he was surrounded by people like Corey Lewandowski, Hope Hicks and Dan Scavino. While Trump showed flashes of this sort of political id during his first year in the White House, he also seemed to lack the sort of total confidence that would allow him to be the most Trumpian version of himself.

So, Trump hasn't "snapped." He's just thrown off any sense that his gut might not be right about everything all the time. Whereas Trump once might have deferred to the likes of Tillerson or Kelly or McMaster when it came to what to tweet or say publicly about a foreign country or his own party in Congress, he now feels absolutely no constraints on saying whatever he feels.

We are now getting the live feed of Trump at all times -- not the edited version.

How will it play politically? His base, which has become increasingly restive with every day that passes without a plan on how to build the border wall, will eat up the raw and uncut version of Trump. This is the guy they voted for, the damn-the-torpedoes dude who tells it like it is, never apologizes and stuffs it in the face of sanctimonious liberals. The more Trump embraces that outsider persona, the more his base is reminded why they like him. For a party struggling to rally its most loyal supporters in advance of the 2018 midterms, that's not a bad outcome.

Legislatively -- and from a policy perspective -- the effect of Trump's increased Trumpiness is cloudier. The scattershot approach Trump seems to favor -- The media! Immigration! Amazon! The Justice Department -- is not conducive to advancing a clearly articulated message through a friendly Congress.

On immigration, for example, what exactly does Trump want Congress to do? Attempt to pass legislation that has stalled in the past? If that's the case, how might he propose approaching things differently to ensure a different result? And can lawmakers reasonably expect Trump to keep up the immigration drumbeat if they do take up some sort of legislation? (Answer: No.)

What we know is that this is likely to be the new normal for Trump between, at least, now and November -- and perhaps for much longer than that. He's always wanted to get to this place -- where he can be in full control, the maestro directing his orchestra.

You can like that reality. You can hate that reality. You can be encouraged by that reality. You can be anxious with that reality. But it doesn't change the fact that it is now our collective reality.

California nurse fired over a Stephon Clark comment

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A California nurse claimed Saturday that she was fired after allegedly saying on social media that Stephon Clark - an unarmed black man who was fatally shot by police - "deserved it for being stupid."

Faith Linthicum said in a GoFundMe page that she was fired from her job at Kaiser Permanente in Sacramento for "exercising my First Amendment right to free speech."

"As a person of faith, and a nurse, I love all people and treat everyone equally," Linthicum posted on the GoFundMe site. "Kaiser Permanente fired me without any investigation, and without giving me an opportunity to explain or defend myself. I believe Kaiser Permanente violated my First Amendment right to free speech in order to protect themselves from the wrath of these activists."

Linthicum provoke a social media frenzy last week when she commented on a post about Clark's death, the Sacramento Bee reported.

"Yeah but he was running from the police jumping over fences and breaking in peoples house...why run??!!! He deserved it for being stupid," she allegedly wrote.

Her alleged comments were widely circulated on social media. One user reportedly wrote, "How can we trust our lives, the lives of our black and brown babies to these people? Nurses are supposed to help people not be happy when people die."

Kaiser Permanente told Fox 40 in a statement last week that Linthicum was no longer with the hospital, but didn't say whether she was fired.

"I believe Kaiser Permanente violated my First Amendment right to free speech in order to protect themselves from the wrath of these activists."
- Faith Linthicum

"Kaiser Permanente does not tolerate hate or discrimination and has a long history of embracing diversity and inclusion - it remains a place where we welcome everyone," a statement from the company read. "We want to emphasize that the comments expressed by this employee, who is no longer with the organization, do not in any way reflect Kaiser Permanente's views or actions."

Linthicum claims that she is now unable to pay rent and care for her two dogs. She hopes to raise $25,000 and has received more than $1,500 in just a few days.

Clark's killing had sparked protests throughout Sacramento. Police body cam footage showed Sacramento police officers fired at Clark 20 times in his grandmother's backyard March 18. Clark's autopsy results, released Friday, revealed he had been shot eight times, including seven times from behind.

Couple sentenced to death for murder of Filipino maid found in freezer.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The case of Joanna Demafelis, a 29-year-old maid whose body was found in a freezer earlier this year, prompted a diplomatic crisis between Kuwait and the Philippines, with Manila banning its citizens from working in the Gulf state.

Demafelis' body was discovered in the couple's abandoned apartment more than a year after she went missing. Nader Essam Assaf, a Lebanese national, and his wife Mona Hassoun, who is Syrian, were the subject of an Interpol manhunt.

Kuwaiti newspaper al-Qabas said a criminal court had on April 1 sentenced Assaf and his wife to death by hanging.

The Philippines government said Monday it had been informed of the sentence by a Kuwaiti official and added it had obtained a copy of the court decision.

Assaf has been detained in Lebanon, which is now considering a Kuwaiti extradition request, according to the Philippines Foreign Ministry. Hassoun was detained in Syria, according to CNN Philippines.

The Kuwait Ministry of Justice did not immediately respond to CNN requests for confirmation.

'Swift action'

Philippines foreign affairs secretary Alan Peter Cayetano said Manila noted "the swift action taken by Kuwaiti authorities" in connection with Demafelis' murder.

"This is a very important development in our quest for justice for Joanna," he added.

The discovery of Demafelis' body in February led to a fiery outburst from Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte, who vowed to "sell his soul to the devil" to bring home workers who were being abused in Kuwait.

After Demafelis' death and other instances of worker abuse, Duterte's government offered free flights home for the 10,900 or so Filipinos who have overstayed their visas, and ordered a ban on the further deployment of workers to Kuwait.

Of more than 250,000 Filipinos in Kuwait, at least 60% are domestic workers who live and work in the homes of their employers for more money than they can earn at home.

Demafelis' family lost contact with her in May 2016, about two years after she arrived in the Middle East, according to CNN Philippines.

They said she never said anything bad about her employers, but had suspicions she was being watched. Demafelis was only able to speak to them three times a year.

During her last phone call, Demafelis said she planned to come home in 2018. But after not hearing from her for a nearly year, Demafelis' family reported her missing, her sister told CNN Philippines.

Investigators tried to find her through the Kuwaiti agency that recruited her, but discovered it had closed down.

The case of Joanna Demafelis, a 29-year-old maid whose body was found in a freezer earlier this year, prompted a diplomatic crisis between Kuwait and the Philippines, with Manila banning its citizens from working in the Gulf state. Demafelis' body was discovered in the couple's abandoned apartment more than a year after she went missing.
