A 23-year-old student is dead after being shot by campus police for speeding. This is just wrong. No one should be speeding or driving erratically as it was reported Robert Cameron Redus was doing, but doing so does not mean a person should be shot dead. By campus police. The details of this story are heart-wrenching and confusing, and will leave you wondering why this happened. What made the campus officer Corporal Chris Carter, 35, open fire on Redus at 2 a.m. just a few blocks from the University of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio, Texas, where Redus studied?

Has our culture become too quick with a gun? Have those in charge stopped thinking with a rational mind?

A Delta Airlines flight headed from Seattle to Atlanta was diverted and made an emergency landing Spokane International Airport yesterday. The cause: A medical emergency that left a 16-year-old boy dead, officials say. According to Spokane International officials, the teenage passenger "regretfully died" shortly after Delta Flight 128 took off. So unbelievably tragic.

The teen's name has not been released, but we do know he was the son of a soldier from the 16th Combat Aviation Brigade of the 7th Infantry Division out of Joint Base Lewis-McChord at Fort Lewis, Washington, a U.S. military official said. But his cause of death is a bit less clear ...

The same week she was spied wearing a tiara and hitting the red carpet for a movie premiere in full-on, regal mode, Kate Middleton tended to a far less glam but even more heartwarming duty yesterday: Visiting gravely sick children and their parents at the Shooting Star House Children's Hospice. And in her effort to spread early Christmas cheer, the Duchess didn't rely on shaking hands and kissing babies alone ...

Kate also got involved with a music class, art therapy session, and also stole little ones' hearts by entertaining them with a frog puppet! Ha! Who knew the new mom had such awesome puppeteering skills?!

A newly married couple in Sunbury, Pennsylvania is charged with luring a man into their car and murdering him for "the sheer thrill of it." 22-year-old Elytte Barbour and his 18-year-old wife, Miranda Barbour, allegedly killed 42-year-old Troy La Ferrara after picking him up at a mall in their Honda CRV. Miranda was charged on Wednesday, while Elytte was charged last night in the death of LaFerrara, whose body was found in an alleyway. They're both being held without bail.

Police say Miranda had initially lured the victim through a Craigslist dating advertisement before strangling him and stabbing him repeatedly with Elytte. Apparently, the couple "just wanted to murder someone together," Sunbury Police Corporal Brad Hare told Reuters. SO horrifying.

A grandmother has been sentenced to prison for giving her 1-year-old granddaughter, Leanna McEntee, morphine to ease her teething aches. The Pennsylvania grandmother, 53-year-old Penny Kochel, was watching Leanna for the weekend and had morphine left over from caring for her dying brother. She thought the drug would be just the trick to soothe the "crying and fussing" baby, but tragically, she gave her an overdose and the toddler died. The death was ruled a homicide and Kochel was charged with involuntary manslaughter.

More than a dozen people were injured in a bizarre car crash on Friday when an elderly woman drove through the storefront of a Trader Joe’s in Long Island.

A white Buick sedan driven by a woman looking to be in her 70s must have been going full bore, because the entire car ended up inside the store. This isn’t like the building got dented or something -- the car kept going until it ended up midway through one of the aisles.

Every December, thousands of volunteers lay wreaths on the graves at Arlington National Cemetery as a way of honoring our fallen service members.

But this year, not every grave may be adorned, as the nonprofit group Wreaths Across America is experiencing a shortage of $525,000. They are planning to lay 100,000 wreaths on December 14, which is 35,000 fewer than they had hoped for.

School Bus Driver Accused of Sexting 14-Year-Old Got Exactly What He Deserved

This pedophile bus driver is SO busted. A private school bus driver was arrested for sexting a 14-year-old girl -- or anyway, someone he thought was a 14-year-old girl. The victim in this case was actually an undercover cop pretending to be a teen. Thirty-eight-year-old Elliot Provda is accused of sending the cop text messages that were "graphic and sexual in nature" and "included an invitation to meet for sexual activity in Queens [New York]." So much for that fantasy.

You almost have to feel sorry for the guy. He was double crossed into thinking an adult woman was a 14-year-old girl, and then he was arrested for making advances on a woman he could have hit on in real life without a problem. Except ... this is a guy who wanted to have a sexual encounter with a 14-year-old. So I don't pity him at all.

Racist Mom Caught Committing Hate Crime Against Kid

A middle-school football team in Massachusetts was forced to bring their season to an early close when one of their players' homes was spray-painted with racist graffiti. The attack also included slashing the boy's tires. Initially investigators believed that other members of the boy's team were to blame. The graffiti message said, "Knights don't need *n word*", and during their football games, some members of the team had been known to yell racially charged hate-speak.

Eighth grader Isaac Philips, the boy in question, is of mixed race, and out of concern for his safety, the school ended the team's season early. What seemed like a cut and dried (if awful) story of racism and hatred came to a close. Now it has come to light that it is more complex than we ever thought possible.
