An Indiana woman is fighting for her life after setting herself on fire next to her 14-year-old daughter.
Yvette “Mickey” Jackson suffered burns over half of her body. The sheriff said her 12-year-old child was also in the car before she set herself on fire.
Jackson’s 14-year-old daughter called 911 from a mobile home trying to save her mother’s life, too shaken to clearly utter an address.
“My mom is committing suicide. Help her… She’s on fire… she poured alcohol all over herself and lit herself on fire,” she told 911 dispatchers.
Within minutes, police and firefighters rushed to help.
A 53-year-old Good Samaritan trying to catch thieves who ran off with a Starbucks tip jar is clinging to life Tuesday after the suspects hit him with their car, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.
A woman described as between 16 to 19 years old, walked into the Starbucks around 3 p.m. Monday and bought a drink, and walked out to the parking lot. The 20-year-old man she was with grabbed the tip jar and ran, the newspaper reported.
The man, who police said was a regular customer, saw the incident and ran after the man.
“The car door was open, they sped off and he gets run over,” Capt. Rick Downs of the Crestwood police told the newspaper. “He ended up underneath the car.”
An anonymous donor, as well as Starbucks, each put up a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspects.
New York City police officers and firefighters cordoned off much of Times Square for more than two hours after a small explosion — set off, the authorities said, by an “improvised explosive device” — damaged the front of the Armed Forces Career Center on the traffic island bounded by 43rd and 44th Streets, Seventh Avenue and Broadway at 3:43 a.m., officials said. No one was injured, and after a temporary interruption, subway service was restored.
Most traffic around Times Square was allowed to pass by 6:45 a.m., after vehicles had been diverted for more than two hours. City officials confirmed that police had initially blocked off the area as a precaution to ensure that there was no secondary device or other threat; the officials emphasized that they did not believe anyone was in danger.
Police officers at the scene said the explosion blew a hole through the front door of the recruiting station, which is at the northern end of the structure.
Members of the Joint Terrorism Task Force, the large Police Department and F.B.I. unit that investigates terrorism, were at the scene of the blast, supporting the Police Department’s Bomb Squad, which along with other police detectives likely will take the lead role in investigating the incident, an F.B.I. official said. The official said that in today’s attack, a man in a gray hooded sweatshirt was seen leaving the scene on a bicycle.
US Soldier throws puppy off cliff - Watch more free videos
The U.S. Marines are investigating a video clip in which two of their own appear to throw a helpless puppy off a cliff.
The 17 second clip sparked outrage after it was viewed thousands of times before being yanked by the popular Web site YouTube.
The video shows two Marines, one of them holding a black and white puppy by the scruff of the neck.
Both men are heard saying how cute the puppy is before the soldier holding the dog lifts it above his head and hurls it across the rocky landscape into a small ravine.
Sounds of a puppy yelping in distress can be heard as the camera shows the dog flying through the air.
The Marines responded on Monday, saying the men in the clip appear to be based in Kaneohe, Hawaii.
Officials said they believe the Marine in the video is a lance corporal who returned to Hawaii in October from Iraq.
“This is a shocking and deplorable video that contrary to the high standards we set for every Marine. We will investigate this and take appropriate action,” Maj. Christopher Perrine said.
Those who watched the clip on YouTube were similarly outraged.
YouTube user evergladephish wrote, “He should be court martialed, and then have someone grab him by the scruff of the neck and toss him over a cliff.”
Others questioned whether the clip may have been staged as a sick joke.
“We need to find out who is this person, is this a legitimate video? Was it edited?” Maj. Perrine said.
If the video proves to be authentic, the Marines in the clip could face judicial charges, demotions in rank and pay and even a court-martial. They could also be discharged.
THE sponsor of two commercials during Super Bowl XLII for Salesgenie.com, which drew complaints from viewers because of the characters’ ethnic accents, says he is sorry and promises to stop running one of them.
Vinod Gupta, the chairman and chief executive of InfoUSA in Omaha, the parent of Salesgenie.com, said in a telephone interview Tuesday that a commercial featuring two animated pandas speaking with what were intended as Chinese accents would be withdrawn.
“We never thought anyone would be offended,” said Mr. Gupta, who developed and wrote both commercials himself.
“The pandas are Chinese,” he said. “They don’t speak German.”
Still, “if I offended anybody,” Mr. Gupta said, “believe me, I apologize.”
Mr. Gupta said he planned to keep running the other Salesgenie commercial, featuring an animated salesman named Ramesh who speaks with an Indian or other South Asian accent.
The reason, Mr. Gupta said, was that “more people seem upset about the pandas than Ramesh.”
“People have been making fun of my accent for years,” said Mr. Gupta, who described himself in the interview as half-Indian and half-Jewish. “And I love it.”
