Man Fatally Poisons Himself During Police Chase

Police were attempting to pull over rape suspect

A rape suspect died after poisoning himself during a freeway chase in Southern California on Wednesday, authorities said. The pursuit began during the morning commute in Ventura County when officers tried to pull the man over and he sped away, the California Highway Patrol said. The car drove onto the right shoulder of US 101, drifted across all northbound lanes and then came to a stop after crashing into the center median, CHP Officer Kevin Denharder said. Officers found the man dead inside the car from an apparent self-inflicted poisoning, Denharder said. He was not identified.

Television news footage showed a Nissan Versa stopped against a barrier surrounded by fire and police vehicles, including an armored SWAT truck, the
AP reports. A firefighter wore a gas mask during an initial inspection of the suspect's vehicle. The suspect was described as a man who was being investigated by the Los Angeles Police Department for his possible involvement in a rape, Denharder said. The LAPD could not immediately provide additional details. Several freeway lanes were closed during the investigation near Oxnard, about 60 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles.

Future of Florida Shooter's Big Trust Fund in Judge's Hands - Nikolas Cruz reportedly due $800K inheritance

The 19-year-old man suspected of killing 17 people at a Florida high school last week is reportedly poised to inherit $800,000 being kept in a trust fund when he turns 22. At least that's what Nikolas Cruz told the family he was living with after his mother died of respiratory illness in November, the Miami Herald reports.

“The kid was not hurting for money at any point," a lawyer for the family says. “Everyone knows about [the trust fund]." Cruz's father Roger died of heart failure in 2004; a year later his estate was valued at more than $1 million. In 2008 Cruz's mother Lynda reached a medical malpractice settlement over Roger's death. Prior to her death she sold the family home for $575,000.

If Cruz is indeed in line for a massive inheritance, a judge could force him to use the money to hire a private lawyer to defend him. Cruz is currently being represented by the Public Defender's Office, which is funded by taxpayers. The Public Defender's Office asked a judge Tuesday to help figure out how much money Cruz may have. If Cruz comes into the money later, he could be forced to pay back the Public Defender's Office, reimbursing taxpayers, for what is certain to be an expensive trial. The Public Defender's Office has admitted Cruz's guilt and offered to plead guilty for the shooting at Parkland's Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in exchange for taking the death penalty off the table.

Nikolas Cruz: First a Breakup, Then the Cutting - Florida school shooting.

Teen posted images of himself cutting his arms on Snapchat, and investigation began

The problems reportedly started over a girl. Nikolas Cruz's mother in 2016 told investigators that his girlfriend had cheated on him and that she and the girl's mother had encouraged the teens to "end the relationship because it was unhealthy for everyone." Why Lynda Cruz told investigators this in the first place: Sheriff’s deputies and Department of Children & Family Services investigators looked into the teen after he posted images of himself cutting his arms on Snapchat in September 2016 and said he wanted to buy a gun. Lynda Cruz said her son began cutting himself after the relationship's demise. She told them her son did not have a gun but did have an air gun, though she had taken it from him because he broke her rules regarding where he could shoot it.

The Sun Sentinel quotes from the DCF report: "Mr. Cruz has fresh cuts on both his arms. Mr. Cruz stated he plans to go out and buy a gun. It is unknown what he is buying the gun for." Cruz didn't purchase his AR-15 for another five months, but the investigation occurred four days after he turned 18 and was legally able to buy a gun. The report's conclusion: "[Cruz’s] final level of risk is low as [he] resides with his mother, attends school and receives counseling through Henderson [Mental Health in Broward County]," which had determined he was "stable enough not to be hospitalized." "Every single red flag was being thrown up by this kid," says Chief Assistant Public Defender Gordon Weekes. CNN reports Cruz's attorney on Friday said the 19-year-old would be willing to plead guilty if he could avoid the death penalty in doing so.

A video monitor shows school shooting suspect Nikolas Cruz, center, making an appearance before Judge Kim Theresa Mollica in Broward County Court, Thursday, Feb. 15, 2018, in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Cruz is accused of opening fire Wednesday at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland.

Here's How Likely It Is Tesla Comes Crashing Back to Earth - Elon Musk launched Roadster into space earlier this month

Scientists say there's a 6% chance Earth will having flying cars in the future. Specifically one flying car: the Tesla Roadster Elon Musk launched into space earlier this month. Researchers analyzing the car's orbit say there's a 6% chance it will crash into Earth at some point over 1 million years, Science reports. That chance goes up to 10% after 3 million years. The Tesla, which is being driven by a mannequin in a spacesuit, will have its first close call with Earth in 2091, when it could come closer than the moon, according to CBS News. Regardless, Hanno Rein at the University of Toronto says falling electric vehicles are nothing to worry about. “It will either burn up or maybe one component will reach the surface,” he tells Science. “There is no risk to health and safety whatsoever.”

Rein and his fellow researchers found the Roadster's orbit will have it repeatedly crossing the paths of Mars, Earth, and Venus until it's destroyed. They say the car has a 50% chance of orbiting the solar system for tens of millions of years before that happens. It will cross Mars' orbit in July before reaching its farthest distance from the sun—154.7 million miles—in November. However Rein warns these are all just educated guesses due to the Tesla's chaotic orbit. Meanwhile, a Hubble Fellow at the University of North Carolina
tweeted that measuring the brightness of the Roadster shows it's rotating every 4.8 minutes or so. And Space.com put together a cool 80-second video showing the Roadster from its launch to the moment it becomes just a tiny dot traveling across the sky 500,000 miles from Earth.

13 Killed in Helicopter Crash After Earthquake — All on Ground

The dead, including 3 children, were spending night in open field

A military helicopter carrying officials assessing damage from a powerful earthquake crashed Friday in Mexico, killing 13 people and injuring 15, all of them on the ground, the AP reports. The Oaxaca state prosecutor's office said five women, four men, and three children were killed at the crash site and another person died at the hospital. A state official said the chopper crashed into a group of people who had been spending the night in an open field after a 7.2-magnitude earthquake hit the area. Aftershocks had caused people to flee their homes for fear they would collapse. The Defense Department said the Blackhawk helicopter suffered the mishap when it was preparing to land on a vacant lot in the city of Jamiltepec. The craft was carrying Interior Secretary Alfonso Navarrete and Oaxaca Gov. Alejandro Murat, neither of whom had serious injuries.

Jorge Morales, a local reporter who was aboard the helicopter when it crashed, described harrowing moments as the pilot lost control and the helicopter attempted to land in a swirl of dust. "The moment the helicopter touched down it lost control, it slid—like it skidded—and it hit some vehicles that were stationed in the area," he told a Mexican TV news program. "In that moment, you couldn't see anything, nothing else was heard beside the sound that iron makes when it scrapes the earth." Navarrete and Murat were evaluating reports of damage from the earthquake before their helicopter crashed. Both Navarrete and the defense department said they regretted the loss of life in Friday's accident. The US Geological Survey originally put the magnitude of Friday's quake at 7.5 but later lowered it to 7.2.

School Hid Sex Abuse for Decades - Now It's Paying Up Hawaiian school reaches massive $80M settlement with 32 victims

For 27 years, Dr. Robert Browne drugged, raped, and psychologically tortured students of Hawaii's Kamehameha Schools under the guise of psychiatric care, the
Washington Post reports. Now 32 of his victims and their families have been awarded what is believed to be the largest personal injury settlement in Hawaiian history, according to Hawaii News Now . Kamehameha Schools—"a towering symbol of Hawaiian pride" that uses its over $8 billion in assets to provide private educations for thousands of children of Hawaiian ancestry—will pay the plaintiffs $80 million. "It was an emotional journey for everyone involved on both sides of the table," says the chairperson of the Kamehameha Schools board. "While we brought closure, it's something we're going to carry for a long period of time." The school didn't deny accusations it failed to investigate and helped cover up Browne's actions.

Browne's abuse of mostly male students at the school dates back to 1958, and victims say they were abused weekly for years. The abuse was reported to school officials by a student as far back as at least 1966, reports the Honolulu Star-Advertiser , which has a timeline of events. Regardless Browne was still a psychiatrist for Kamehameha Schools in 1991 when he killed himself after being confronted by a former victim. Even then school officials failed to investigate accusations against Browne, some of whose victims killed themselves. "It's a lot of dollars, but there are a lot of people who wouldn't trade places with them," a lawyer for the victims says of the settlement, which will also create a hotline to report abuse and a recovery fund for sexual assault victims. "I'm excited that the men stood with me to do this," one of Browne's victims says. "We stood together and we were strong."

Florida school shooting: Who are the victims?

A beloved football coach. A swimmer who had just won a college scholarship. A freshman soccer player. A geography teacher got shot while trying to barricade the door.

They are among the victims of a mass shooting at a Florida high school on Wednesday.

Details of the 17 people who died are emerging.

Aaron Feis

Aaron Feis, assistant American football coach at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, is being hailed as a hero for shielding students from bullets. He was fatally injured after diving in front of a pupil.
The MS Douglas Eagles, the school football team, confirmed Mr Feis' death on Twitter. "He died a hero," they wrote.
"I coached with him. My two boys played for him," Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel said. "The kids in this community loved him, adored him."
Students led tributes to their former coach as news of his injuries first spread.

Can everyone please take a second to pray for my coach today he took serval bullets covering other students at Douglas .

"He was a great guy," football player Gage Gaynor told local newspaper the Sun-Sentinel .
"Everyone loved him. Shame he had to go like this. Always gave his all to making us better. Definitely learned a lot from him."

Mr Feis also worked as a school security guard.
He responded on walkie-talkies to chatter about the attack when it began, and was overheard saying "no, that is not firecrackers" as the gunshots rang out.

Former student Andrew Hoffman, who also recently worked at the high school as a swimming coach, said Mr Feis was "very well dedicated" to safety at the school in his capacity as a security guard.
He was married, with a baby daughter.

Scott Beigel

Geography teacher Scott Beigel, 35, let students into his classroom to shelter and was shot dead by the gunman while trying to lock the door, a student told Good Morning America .
His friend Matt Hipps took to Facebook to share his memories of Mr Beigel, calling him: "My friend, my brother, my family."

"He made the ultimate sacrifice," said Mr Hipps. "I won't say goodbye. It just hurts too much. I will see you on the other side."
Mr Beigel also worked at a summer camp in Starlight, Pennsylvania.

Libby James Watt, a former colleague there, told the BBC: "We met in Summer 2016. The whole Camp Starlight family is broken.

"He was the most quirky humoured character with a fierce heart to craft strong and caring people. His passion was undeniable and infectious - he'd light up a room, he'd light up an entire state.
"Our Camp family has lost an icon, but for protecting his students - true to his heart to the end. A leader and protector."

Florida school shooting: How the attack happened

A 19-year-old gunman has killed 17 people and injured many more after opening fire at a high school in Parkland, Florida.

Police say Nikolas Cruz, an expelled former student, was heavily armed when he began his Valentine's Day rampage. Here's what we know about what happened.

Attack begins: 14:30 local time (19:30 GMT)
Students and staff at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School reported hearing "what sounded like gunfire" shortly before the end of the school day on Wednesday.

The gunman entered the school premises - about an hour north of Miami - wearing a gas mask and carrying a rifle, ammunition cartridges and smoke grenades. He set off a fire alarm so people would leave the classrooms and pour into the corridors.

Many students thought it was a drill because a fire alarm practice had taken place earlier that day, but then they heard the sound of shooting.

"I heard about six gunshots and then some people started running," Student Jeiella Dodoo told CBS News. "And then everyone started running because we were like, 'If it's real, then just run.'"

Who are the victims?

Celebrities call for 'policy and change'

The gunman, firing multiple times at students and teachers, killed three people outside the school, before entering one of the school's teaching buildings and killing another 12, Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel said. Two others died of their injuries in local hospitals.
Witnesses described how students hid anywhere they could as the shots rang out in the building, which houses 30 classrooms.
Survivor Kyle Yeoward, 16, said he and about 15 other students and a teacher hid in a storeroom for about two hours until police arrived.

Police said the gunman had been carrying an AR-15 rifle, which he had bought legally, and several magazines of ammunition.

Police arrive
Police and Swat team members swarmed the campus and began clearing students from the school. Parents and ambulances also converged on the scene.
Students were led off the campus by heavily armed police officers.

The gunman, concealing himself in the crowd, was among the hundreds of people fleeing the building, authorities said.

Suspect arrested
Nikolas Cruz, who had been expelled for "disciplinary reasons", was captured by police in the nearby town of Coral Springs, just a few miles from the school, about an hour after the attack.

He was taken to a nearby hospital before being released into police custody.
What we know about the suspect

How does the attack compare?
Wednesday's shooting is the worst school shooting since 2012, when gunman Adam Lanza shot dead 20 young children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.

It is also at least the 18th shooting in the US this year on or around school premises, according to research by Everytown for Gun Safety.

It is the sixth school shooting incident in 2018 that has either wounded or killed students, according to the advocacy website.

Drake Surprises a Miami Maid With $10,000 Shopping Spree

Drake's good deeds continue!

The 31-year-old rapper surprised Miami maid Odelie Paret with a shopping spree at Saks Fifth Avenue last week, according to The Miami Herald. Drake was inspired to treat Paret after reading a story in the paper detailing her torturous daily commute of up to four hours a day by bus from her home in Opa-Locka apartment to the Fontainebleau resort.

Paret, who has worked at the resort for two decades after moving to Florida with her family from Haiti, ended her 14-room-a-day cleaning shift on Feb. 6 with a massage at the Fontainbealu's spa, before enjoying a lobster at StripSteak by Michael Mina. After dinner, a car was waiting to take Paret and a friend to Brickell City Centre, where she was surprised by Drake -- and a shopping spree at Saks.

"I always just saw him on the TV. So I said, ‘Drake!'" Paret told on Tuesday. “It made me happy. ... I thank him so much.”

Paret was given 45 minutes after the store closed for the night to pick out whatever she wanted, and walked away with about $10,000 in shoes, perfumes and a Valentino handbag.
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown, who grew up in Miami, helped arrange the surprise and documented the event on social media.
