49-year-old Richard Parker placed a bomb in the home of Jon and Marion Setzer in Tennessee. He lived next door to them. Jon Setzer died when the package bomb went off and Marion died in the hospital after it went off. He was 74 and Marion was 72. Richard Parker was their son-in-law who is now charged with two counts of felony first-degree murder and two counts of felony premeditated murder. He was convicted of arson about 16 years ago, and served four years on probation, which made him a good suspect for the crime. There was also a note that they think was attached to the bomb that they found and investigated. Parker is now in custody.

A former teacher now runs a drug cartel in Mexico and is one of the most wanted men. He is now on the run and has 2.5 million dollars. La Tuta is his nick name and he "runs" Morelia City in Mexico. He acts as if he is a governor but he isn't. This city is now covered with violence. Thousands have died, and everyone is afraid. Even though he was on the run, he makes appearances in the town and hands out money to mothers with children. La Tuta does business with the Chinese. Some men in the city have decided to fight back and are always looking around and are armed to protect the city because the police don't do much.

dont feed the bears

Mary Musselman is a retired gym teacher and has been feeding wild bears for over a year. It is a problem because if you start feeding bears, they will become less afraid of you making them very dangerous to you and destruction of property. When she said that she would refuse to stop, they took her to court. She was on probation and was warned not to do it again but 2 weeks ago they found more bowls of dog food in her backyard. They arrested her and her friends are worried that she doesn't truly understand what is going on so she will not agree with the courts and get in more trouble.
