CNN is listing it at the top of its "Top News Stories" now: http://www.cnn.com/2015/02/11/us/chapel-hill-shooting/index.html

Three college students killed in Chapel Hill shooting; 46-year-old man charged CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — A 46-year-old Chapel Hill man has been charged with three counts of first-degree murder after three college students were shot and killed Tuesday evening at a condominium complex on Summerwalk...

I don't know anything more than what's in the news right now. The condos where the shooting took place is an area where med students and grad students sometimes live, but I haven't heard anything more than you know right now.

Thank goodness the kid who got the snapchat thought quickly enough to save the image before it automatically deleted! Many people would be too shocked to think quickly and save such an awful image.

I'd have to go back many threads to look, but iirc, the trial has not yet taken place, so he's out until it happens. Don't quote me, though. My memory might be incorrect, and I don't have the patience tonight to weed back through previous threads to look for the info.

bbm Nothing new to add here, but the fact that Jessica's case is being advertised on these billboards in at least three states makes me think they must believe her death is drug-related in some way. I don't know what the criteria are for publicizing a case on the billboards, but it seems it...

Good post -- I was thinking along the same lines, but you said it concisely.

Looks like the delay was granted: Jesse Matthew assault trial postponed Feb. 6 FAIRFAX, Va. — A judge has ordered a postponement in a trial that had been scheduled for next month in Fairfax County for a Charlottesville man who is also charged with abducting University of Virginia student...

From the Washington Post: Defense seeks delay in Jesse Matthew&#8217;s sexual assault trial February 3, 2015 <snip> Fairfax County Deputy Public Defender Dawn Butorac said at a previous hearing that she might not have enough time to prepare for Jesse Matthew&#8217;s March 9 trial, given the...

As if beheading journalists wasn't bad enough, now ISIS is burning prisoners alive? How barbaric, and further proof that governments should not be negotiating with such animals. However, the retaliation (?) killing in Jordan of two prisoners doesn't really help, in my opinion. I don't condone...

Had she thought it had been lost, or can she just not remember that she didn't want it published? :dunno: Hmm. . . Also, the DM article states, "The Supreme Court had ruled unanimously in 1953 that segregated schools were unconstitutional." Did I miss something? I thought Brown vs. Board of...

Penn & Teller sum up my feelings about vaccinations, but much more bluntly (and with more uses of the "f" word) than I ever would: http://youtu.be/RfdZTZQvuCo

:party: One of my all-time favorite books! I hope the sequel is a worthy successor to the original. If TKAM was published in 1960, Harper Lee must be what, at least in her late 70s now? Even older? I'm delighted by this news, but also a bit apprehensive.

From Coy Barefoot's FB this past Friday, January 30: In comments, Barefoot states that he doesn't believe this would be to press charges, but instead, an update from LE with what, if any, information they can share with the public about the ongoing investigation.

Thanks for the link -- very cool to see even more tattoos revealed on the Ice Man. It reminds me of the Siberian Ice Princess, who also has many tattoos, although they seem to be for decorative purposes, rather than any sort of acupuncture treatment. Also, she's less than half his age, so not...

Three more planes were threatened on Sunday: http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/planes-evacuated-arrival-seattle-tacoma-airport-28474481

While this sounds like a wonderful and well-intentioned idea, I would suspect that WS would encounter too many difficulties in setting up such a fund, not the least of which would be that on a forum dedicated to helping find missing people and/or helping serve justice for victims by responsible...

As a teacher, I see/hear phones falling on the floor and breaking apart on almost a daily basis in my classroom. I'd say about half of the phones that simply drop out of a kid's back pocket while they're sitting down end up coming apart when they hit the linoleum tiles. It doesn't take much for...

Well, I guess that settles the matter, legally. I have no doubt that grandfather is distraught over his negligence leading to his grandson's death. Nobody in that family will ever get over this, I imagine. even the 1 1/2 year old kid who may not understand what's going on now, but will...

I really do hope that video was taken while zoomed in as far as possible! I would never in a million years get that close to a burning vehicle that had tires "exploding" from the heat. I'd be worried about a lot more serious things exploding!
