  1. 2 dead, 6 injured in shooting at Douglas County house party
    By Rob DiRienzo and FOX 5 Atlanta | March 5, 2023

    DOUGLASVILLE, Ga. - Two people are dead after a mass shooting outside a sweet sixteen birthday party in Douglas County Saturday night. Deputies are investigating the deadly incident.

    FOX 5 spoke with the mother who threw the party for her birthday. Officials said well over a hundred teenagers were in attendance.

    Chrystal Walker-Cherry said right before the shooting, she kicked everyone out of her home on Sitka Drive after her husband discovered someone was smoking weed.

    "OK. Everybody has to go. If you need to call your parents, go upstairs and call your parents, but the party is done," Walker-Cherry told FOX 5 that's what she was telling the kids.

    Then, chaos broke loose.

    "Not even two minutes after that we heard gunshots," neighbor Lashondra Martin told FOX 5. "So, I immediately ran outside, saw a little girl in the streets and just wanted to make sure it was none of my children."

    That neighbor said she got a bedsheet and covered the girl's body while the other teens ran. She waited for police to arrive, then she said she called the girl's mother using her phone.

    Ten-year-old Calvary Evans said she was home next door when the shooting started.

    "We were sitting on the couch. My grandma was at the table, and she heard it," the little girl said. "We were scared because she yelled at us, ‘Get down, get down’."

    Investigators said the suspects involved in the shooting killed two people and injured six others that night. The status of the injured victims is unknown at this time.

    Walker-Cherry said as far as she knows, the shooter never stepped foot in her home. She believes he was waiting in a car up the street.

    "He wasn’t invited to this party," she said. "They weren’t invited, so they didn’t know the address. They just camped out and waited on the children to leave the party."

    Deputies have not released the identities of the victims or any possible suspects.

    It has become unreal! Seems like 18th century Wild West mentality, except that probably people didn’t shoot at kids and their mothers back then. 
     

    It’s not really an issue here but I wished Madonna would focus more on the gun control agenda. It feels like it’s the most urgent matter, more so than ageism. 

    I get upset whenever I read news about children being abused / shoot... it's so inhumane! I wonder how these ppl sleep at night?

    9 children, including 5-year-old, injured in Georgia shooting 
    The Columbus Police Department has made no arrests in the case.

    By Peter Charalambous | Video by Jessie DiMartino | February 19, 2023, 12:23 AM

    Police in Columbus, Georgia, responded to the shooting at a local Shell gas station Friday night to find nine children, including a five-year-old child, injured with gunshot wounds.

    The Columbus Police Department has made no arrests in the case, and the nine victims are being treated for non-life-threatening injuries at a local hospital. Police were dispatched to the crime scene at 10:11 p.m. Friday.

    "The rash of gun violence involving our youth is impacting communities across the country," Columbus Police Chief Freddie Blackmon said in a statement.

    According to the Columbus police, they arrived at the gas station to see "a large group of people" and the victims. The victims range in age from five to 17 years old and include seven males and two females.

    The mass shooting follows a deadly attack in Arkabutla, Mississippi, where a shooter killed six people on Friday before his arrest. The Georgia shooting is the 74th mass shooting this year in the United States, according to data from the Gun Violence Archive.

    "It is going to take a community effort to combat gun violence in our city," Blackmon said. "The entire village has a responsibility because incidents like this impacts all of us."

  6. Model Who Didn't Poo For Two Weeks Fainted At A Photoshoot

    Emmerald Barwise didn't realise that not going for a poo for so long 'wasn't normal' :manson: and appeared on Channel 4's Know Your Shit: Inside Our Guts

    A model who says she often looks pregnant after not using the bathroom for days at a time fainted during a photoshoot after not going for a poo for two weeks.

    Emmerald Barwise didn't realise that not going for a poo for so long 'wasn't normal'. The fetish and vintage model appeared on Channel 4's 'Know Your Shit: Inside Our Guts' after the problem was pointed out by her girlfriend.

    The 36-year-old, who posts age-restricted content online, has been modelling professionally for more than eight years and often worked while suffering bowel pain. Emmerald was so reserved about her toilet issues, she refused to use other people’s loos and would never tell anyone she was going for a poo.

    Emmerald had not had a proper poo routine for as long as she can remember and the penny dropped only when her girlfriend pointed out that not defecating for up to two weeks at a time 'wasn’t normal'. She appeared on the Channel 4 show to get help for her constipation reports North Wales Live.

    Emmerald said: “Sometimes I don’t go for a poo for two weeks, and then I get bloated, I get gassy. Maybe once a month I have a bad bout where I do feel in pain and it feels like I’m constipated, or just swollen.

    “I’m not comfortable speaking about these things, it’s just awkward. My girlfriend was like, 'how are you hiding going to the toilet from me, you’re not a unicorn, you do poo'. I look pregnant which, being a model, is not the best thing. I’m 36 and this has been my whole life, so I’d like to get it sorted.”

    Emerald explained she found the issue hard to deal with in social situations. She admitted she often won’t eat at all before shoots, adding: “If you are in a thong and booby tassels, looking like you are pregnant, it's not the best one,” she said.

    Dietician Sophie Medlin discovered Emmerald has a fondness for garlic  :gross: which, as well as onion, is a common cause of bloating. Testing of stool samples indicated bacteria association with anxiety, low mood and ADHD – conditions familiar to Emmerald.

    On the show, Emmerald was given a muffin made with blue food colouring to test her poo’s 'transit time' through her gut. This showed an average of 60 hours – about twice what it needs to be.

    By cutting out garlic, and relaxing a little more, this came down considerably with Emmerald defecating around three times a week. She was also advised on 'optimal toilet sitting positions', with knees slightly raised to avoid straining and now takes a toilet stool with her whenever she goes away.

    Know your Shit is currently available to watch on All 4. Emmerald and her poo problems feature on episode one.

  7. What We Know About the Michigan State University Shooting
    A gunman killed three students and injured five others. He was found off campus and died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, the authorities said.

    The gunman opened fire in two buildings on the Michigan State University campus, the police said.

    By Derrick Bryson Taylor | Feb. 14, 2023

    On Monday night, the usually busy streets of Michigan State University’s sprawling campus fell silent after a gunman opened fire in two buildings, killing three students and critically wounding five others.

    For hours, students and faculty and staff sheltered in place, many in dormitories and other campus buildings, as hundreds of police officers searched for the gunman.

    Students across the campus in East Lansing, more than 80 miles northwest of Detroit, expressed fear. Among them was Jane Nodland, a senior nursing major, who on Monday night was at the university’s student union building to do homework with her boyfriend. She heard three gunshots and quickly dove into a corner before sprinting out of the building. “I thought I was going to die,” Ms. Nodland said. “It sounded like he was right there.”

    Here’s what we know, and don’t know, about the shooting so far.

    What happened?
    The gunman first opened fire at Berkey Hall, home to the university’s College of Social Science, shortly before 8:30 p.m., killing two people, Chris Rozman, the interim deputy university police chief, said at a news conference on Tuesday morning. The gunman later moved to the Michigan State student union, a popular place for students to eat and study, where he killed a third person. The two buildings, just minutes apart on Grand River Avenue, were both unlocked and open to the public.

    The university sent an email alerting students, many of whom were in dormitories, libraries and other campus buildings, to shelter in place or evacuate while the authorities searched for the shooter.

    After a three-hour manhunt, the university police said the gunman was found off campus around 11:30 p.m. and had died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Shelter-in-place orders were lifted, and students quickly returned to their homes or were reunited with their families.

    What do we know about the victims?
    The Michigan State Police identified two of the victims who died as Brian Fraser, 20, a sophomore from Grosse Pointe, Mich., and Alexandria Verner, 20 a junior from Clawson, Mich. The school district in Grosse Pointe identified the third victim as Arielle Diamond Anderson, 19, of Harper Woods, Mich.

    All eight victims — the three who were killed and the five who were wounded — were students at the university. The wounded students remained in critical condition and were being treated at Sparrow Hospital, the authorities said.

    What do we know about the suspect?
    The gunman was identified as Anthony McRae, 43, and Chief Rozman said he was not affiliated with the university. A caller’s tip led the authorities to the suspect and that the authorities recovered a weapon, he said. No details were given about the type of weapon used, but Mr. McRae was arrested in Lansing, Mich., in 2019 and charged with carrying a concealed pistol without a permit.

    The gunman’s father said in a telephone interview on Tuesday that his son had become increasingly angry since his mother’s death in September 2020, rarely leaving his bedroom. He also said that his son had lived briefly in a homeless shelter in Cincinnati, but had never been diagnosed with mental health problems and was not on medication.

    What don’t we know?
    As of Wednesday, a motive remained unclear. The authorities have not commented on what might have been found at a home linked to the suspect.

    What happens next?
    An investigation into the shooting could take weeks, according to an F.B.I. spokesman. President Biden on Tuesday called for Congress to “do more” to curb gun violence, saying the action was “what we owe to those grieving” in Michigan and across the U.S. He also called the shooting “a family’s worst nightmare.”

    All classes at Michigan State have been canceled through the end of the week and are expected to resume Monday, Feb. 20.

    FUCKING BARBARIC!!! :americanlife: 

    Alligator’s mouth taped shut since December, says Florida resident
    Annie Mapp | Wed, February 15, 2023

    BRANDON, Fla. (WFLA) — An alligator residing in a Florida neighborhood has had its mouth taped shut since December, according to one resident.

    Lumsden Reserve resident Amber Lock, who shared photos of the alligator with Nexstar’s WFLA, called the actions “inhumane.”

    As of Tuesday afternoon, Lock said, nobody had visited her neighborhood’s retention pond to capture the reptile and relieve it of the conditions.

    Lock said she believes the animal’s mouth was taped shut when a trapper attempted to remove the alligator, but it’s unclear why the animal was left there.

    A spokesperson with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission explained that the delay was due to “confusion caused by two different permit requests made to two different trappers by members of the public.”

    She said a trapper went to the location on Feb. 11 and saw the gator, but it disappeared from view anytime anyone came close to the water.

    A new permit was issued on Feb. 12. The spokeswoman said the agency planned to send a contracted nuisance alligator trapper to the location to remove it from the area.

    But how is the animal surviving?

    According to the FWC, alligators are “opportunistic feeders,” meaning they will eat nearly anything they can capture. However, being that gators are cold-blooded, they do not need to eat often: They typically eat once a week, but can survive up to two to three years without food.
