Update: the shooter has died. Update: Gunman in Middleton workplace shooting is dead; three injured, one critically

I work near-ish -- there were a *ton* of sirens. These are two fb live videos from a local reporter. The first one cuts off as he realizes he has a friend who works in the building. The second one is hard to watch - near the end, there is a woman just screaming. Latest info is that...

No offense to the original poster (and thank you for starting this thread), but I am going to ask a mod if they could change the title of this thread. In my mind, a 'domestic dispute' is when a couple argues about who's turn it is to make dinner, or what the thermostat should be set at. This...

http://www.channel3000.com/news/MPD-hopes-public-can-help-find-missing-woman/41019270 I swear that when I first saw this article this afternoon, it said that she was reported missing "around 5:30 a.m.", and it now says she was reported missing "around 5:37 a.m.", which seems very specific to...

I came across this tonight, and had to share, because it really did make me smile! http://abc7chicago.com/pets/animal-shelter-adopts-out-every-single-animal-in-its-facility/1082071/

Came across this today, what a moving story: http://www.jsonline.com/news/wisconsin/40-years-later-poignant-memories-shroud-fitzgerald-wreck-b99610846z1-343326082.html I've had Gordon Lightfoot's song stuck in my head all day. It's one of my favorite campfire songs (yes, kind of dorky, but...

I bolded part of pepelepolecat's post above. A few years ago, I posted down in the jury room asking for opinions on whether or not I should call CPS on my neighbor (my mind had already been pretty much made up, but I was hoping for support). I was HUGELY surprised, given what this forum is, at...

I worked this morning -- one of my co-workers is from Mexico (he's a seasonal, visa-ed worker here in the US) -- his wife and kids were in the path of the hurricane (although a bit inland--gosh, it must be hard to be stuck in the midwest when a hurricane is bearing down on your family!). He...

I'm watching it now (thanks to this thread for the tip!), and I had forgotten just how angry this case made me. All I can think of is 'hubris.' Harrises: We want to adopt, because God! DHS: This is a bad idea. You're really not equipped to deal with these kids. Harrises: You're attacking us...

Most recent story from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: http://www.jsonline.com/news/crime/man-charged-with-murder-after-calling-tv-station-about-girl-missing-since-1982-b99599065z1-334078271.html Link to the criminal complaint...

She has been identified, I believe. http://host.madison.com/wsj/news/local/crime-and-courts/jane-doe-in-indiana-becomes-fitchburg-homicide-woman-charged-in/article_bdcc792a-7583-5384-bb24-31eac70f5f60.html

I very easily found the sister's blogspot through a quick google search via social media. The first 2-3 chronological entries are interesting, and give a bit of family history and dynamics.

Intresting update. http://host.madison.com/wsj/news/local/crime_and_courts/mother-of-boys-killed-in-argyle-arson-moves-on-haltingly/article_26e3e7e1-5d9a-55a4-8460-cdbcf57358a0.html

I find this fascinating: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/05/28/dennis-hastert-patriot-act_n_7465780.html and

Or, any possible charges re: the behavior the money was paid to conceal are more properly brought it state court. But my money is on statue of limitations issues.
