COLD BLOODED (KILLER) SEATTLE (Carjacking)

 A shooting at a Seattle cafe and an apparent carjacking have left two men and woman dead and three others seriously wounded, police reported Thursday.

Two men were killed at a coffeehouse in the city's University District, while a woman died in the carjacking, Seattle police said. Three more people -- another two men and a woman -- were wounded at the coffeehouse.

Investigators were looking for any connections between the two incidents, which happened about four miles and a few minutes apart, police spokesmen said.

"We're definitely in a dynamic situation right now," Deputy Police Chief Nick Metz told reporters.

The gunman ran away from the coffeehouse shooting.

"Whether he is armed at this time, we don't know," Metz said. But he added, "We're assuming he's very dangerous."

One of the wounded had life-threatening injuries, while the other two were seriously hurt, the department said. The black sport-utility vehicle was found empty a few miles southwest of downtown, police reported.

PIMA County ARIZONA (CHILD KILLER) HANGS Himself in CALIFORNIA Prison

The state budget got a boost--a drop-in-the-bucket boost--when the lifetime incarceration of James Lee Crummel was cut short Tuesday.

The murderer of a 13-year-old Costa Mesa boy hung himself in his San Quentin prison cell, according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitations.

Crummel, 68, had been on Death Row since 2004, when he was convicted of the 1979 kidnapping, sexual abuse and killing of James Wilfred Trotter, just one young victim authorities suspect Crummel preyed on over the years.

He was convicted of the 1967 murder of a 9-year-old boy in Pima County, Arizona, but a judge later overturned it after Crummel had served five years in prison. He'd also been questioned about 1981 and 1995 murders of boys in Anaheim Hills and Big Bear City respectively.

Much to the chagrin of residents in pre-Megan's Law Newport Beach, "high-risk" sex offender Crummel resided there. Eleven years after Trotter disappeared while walking to school, Crummel posed as a random person in calling police to report finding charred human bones while hiking near Ortega Highway in Riverside County. The bones were later identified as Trotter's.

Crummel's reputation as a sex offender and proximity to Trotter's home--about a mile away from his--led him to be suspected and ultimately convicted of the boy's murder.

Miami POLICE (Shoot Suspect) After he (CHEWED Off Half the Victims Face)

The Miami Herald reported that the naked man chewed off half the face of his victim, who is struggling for his life.

---

The violence started at 2 p.m. on the MacArthur Causeway off-ramp, just south of the Herald’s offices, the newspaper said.
Witnesses said that a woman saw two men fighting and flagged down a police officer, who came upon the naked man mauling the other man, the Herald reported.

The officer, who was not identified, ordered the naked man to back away, but when the man continued the assault, the officer shot him, the Herald said. Witnesses told the Herald the wounded attacker continued to eat his victim, so the officer continued firing.

Witnesses said they heard at least a half-dozen shots, the Herald said.
