PHOENIX - Phoenix authorities say a 5-year-old boy was found in a car's front passenger seat after police fired at the vehicle and fatally shot the driver.

Sgt. Trent Crump says the motorist evaded a traffic stop late Monday night after he appeared to be impaired.

Crump says officers later shot at the car and killed the driver after the vehicle struck a brick wall at a home and the man tried to drive off - first in one direction toward officers and then in another direction toward a different officer.

Crump says the boy discovered in the car was not hurt.

No identities have been released.

Palm Beach Post

A woman who was holding her boyfriend at knife point as their 3-year-old boy was in their home was shot to death by deputies in Lake Worth Tuesday morning.
Palm Beach County sheriff’s deputies were called to the home in a duplex about 2:45 a.m. by the boyfriend who was frantic, saying she was going to kill him, sheriff’s spokeswoman Teri Barbera said.
“When we arrived she had him by the shirt with a knife in hand. We told her to put the knife down repeatedly. When she turned to stab him, we shot her. In an effort to save his life, we shot,” Barbera said.
Though deputies then ran to her assistance and called paramedics, the woman, who is 24, died from her injuries.
Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said Tuesday morning, “If the deputies had not taken the action they did she would have knifed him on the spot.”
Bradshaw said the 911 calls reveal the couple were in a “violent confrontation” and that the boyfriend was trying to get the child away from the boy’s mother. When deputies arrived, the woman let go of the child and came through the front door with her boyfriend, holding him by the shirt with one hand and a knife in the other.
“The deputies actions actually saved his life and probably, further down the road, the child’s life,” Bradshaw said.
Bradshaw said deputies had been called before to the duplex and that the couple has had previous problems. He did not release their names, but said the woman was 24-years-old and her boyfriend is about the same age. Bradshaw also said there are possible child abuse charges pending against the woman.
The boy will likely be placed with relatives, Bradshaw said.

Mexico ( 4 bodies found - killed by wild dogs at park ) Mexico city

The bodies of four individuals brutally killed by wild dogs in Mexico City have been discovered during the last two weeks, say officials.
The mauled and mutilated bodies were found in a park located on the outskirts of the city where police also believe the killings took place.

The first two victims were identified as 26-year-old female Shunashi Mendoza, and a 1-year-old male child. Their bodies were discovered in a horrific scene by neighbors of the hilltop park Cerro de la Estrella. According to authorities, the victims had been mauled to death on December 29, 2012.
An article by The Examiner reports that the wild dogs left the victims’ bodies in a gruesome state. Mexican authorities have revealed that the child victim bled to death from injuries incurred during the attack. The female victim’s left arm showed evidence of being ripped from her body. The bodies of both victims had been partially eaten by the animals.
On January 4, the bodies of a teenage couple were found in Cerro de la Estrella with similar injuries. The second set of victims, identified as 15-year-old Alejandra Ruiz and 16-year-old Samuel Martinez, were reported to have suffered fatal bleeding.


A statement released this week by officials involved in the investigation reported:

“Experts have established that due to the gravity of the wounds, at least 10 dogs were involved in each attack.”

The female found in the second death scene telephoned her sister, Diana Ruiz, to beg for help as the wild dogs were attacking her and her boyfriend. Alejandra Ruiz was able to scream “Several dogs are attacking us, help me!” before the attack forced the end of the call.
Authorities later reported that at the time of the exchange the surviving sister believed the call was a prank. The phone call was the last time the sisters spoke before the young couple succumbed to death from the attack, writes The Associated Press.
Diana Ruiz later spoke to Milenio Television about the terrible ordeal and her doubts about the deaths being caused by an animal attack:

“What kind of dog can tear the skin from your whole arm and leave just bone and if it was an attack dog why didn’t it attack her neck? What’s most shocking is that one of her breasts was mutilated.”

Mexico City Public Safety Secretary Jesus Rodriguez stated that evidence collected indicates that the victims died at the attack sites. The bodies showed signs of bites inflicted by wild dogs while the individuals were still alive. Additional bites were found to be sustained after death.
Approximately 100 police officers investigated the park and by Monday night had trapped 25 dogs found in caves and crevices throughout Cerro de la Estrella. Experts intend to search the wild dogs for evidence of the attacks that killed four in Mexico City.

McALLEN, Texas (AP) - A former federal agent accused of sexually assaulting a girl was employed by the U.S. Border Patrol during a portion of the six years of alleged abuse. The Border Patrol said Tuesday 33-year-old Jaime Ocanas worked for the agency between June 2001 and June 2007. Ocanas, who most recently worked for the McAllen Independent School District police force, is charged with continuous sexual assault of a minor. The alleged victim told Pharr police that the abuse occurred for about six years starting in 1998, when Ocanas was 19. Ocanas had been assigned to the Border Patrol's Rio Grande City station and resigned in 2007. He began working for the school district in December 2007. He was fired last month amid the sexual assault investigation. Ocanas declined comment Monday. Copyright 2013 The Associated Press.

HOMEWOOD, Calif. — She was born under a house on the west shore of Lake Tahoe and quickly became a beloved fixture in this rustic community.
She rambled through backyards and climbed into open windows to snack. She swam in the lake's impossibly blue water and sunned herself on the beach as if on an extended vacation.
Residents nicknamed her Sunny. She was one of Lake Tahoe's "celebrity bears" — animals so familiar, so seemingly at ease around humans that they've become de facto residents of this forested idyll where the boundary between wilderness and civilization has all but disappeared.
"She was the epitome of how bears and humans can coexist," said Ann Bryant, an animal rights activist here. "Until she was murdered."
The morning of July 30, Sunny was found dead on the beach, felled by a shotgun blast.
The killing infuriated Lake Tahoe's large and vocal community of bear lovers, who raised $35,000 for a reward leading to the arrest and conviction of Sunny's killer.
Others thought that wasn't enough.
When no arrest was made, the suspected shooter's name and address were posted on a Facebook page established by a bear advocate to shame businesses with unlocked and overflowing dumpsters.
Reaction was swift — and, at times, disturbing:
I hope the person who did this is not only prosecuted to the fullest, but suffers the same fate Sunny did.
Can we have open season on the person who shot the bear??
Burn his cabin down.
*
Early November, and Lake Tahoe is dozing. Boats are gone for the winter, the notorious summer traffic has ebbed and neighborhoods of vacation homes are silent as ghost towns.
The bears, though, are hard at work.
An adult black bear will consume upward of 25,000 calories a day to prepare for hibernation. That's a lot of berries and pine nuts. Or, in the case of Lake Tahoe's bears, a lot of dumpster diving.
More than a thousand bear complaints a year are reported to officials on the lake's California side alone. They break into homes to forage in refrigerators, at times surprising terrified residents. They den under porches and have learned to twist the tops off food jars. They make the trash-can exploits of the Southern California bruin nicknamed Glen Bearian look like the fumblings of an amateur.
"It's been an enormous evolutionary change," said Bryant, who runs the Bear League, a self-styled detachment of some 250 volunteers who respond to calls round the clock from residents who've had a bear encounter. "The bears living here with us are evolving far faster than we are. They've learned to take advantage of us. We haven't learned to coexist with them. And they're dying for it."
At any given time, there are between 500 and 1,500 black bears around the lake. In July, the Tahoe Daily Tribune reported that 2012 was shaping up to be a "perfect storm of bears." A mild winter meant more cubs, and the parched backcountry was forcing more bears to scrounge for food in populated areas.
At one resort, three bears were legally killed after they entered numerous cabins; a cafe was evacuated when a bear strolled in during dinner.

A man suspected of shooting a woman in the head in the San Diego suburb of Lemon Grove and leaving her to die in the street has been arrested at his mother's home in Happy Valley, Ore., according to the San Diego County Sheriff's Department.
Casey Tschida, 32, fled to Oregon in his truck after the Thursday morning shooting, the Sheriff's Department said. He was arrested Saturday by Portland police; San Diego homicide investigators are arranging for him to be returned to Southern California.
Tschida and Jennifer Krajnak, 30, were at a bar in Lemon Grove before the shooting, according to sheriff's investigators. As Krajnak was walking home about 2 a.m., Tschida shot her in the head, investigators said.
Deputies on patrol found her on the side of the road. She was pronounced dead at a hospital.
No motive for the shooting has been revealed.
