[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A family of four were brutally murdered in their upstate New York home in scenes so gruesome, veteran cops were left shaken by what they found.
Irondequoit Police said they uncovered the bodies of two parents, a four-year-old girl and a two-year-old boy in a burned-up house in the early hours of Saturday.
They were identified as Fraime Ubaldo, 30, Marangely Moreno-Santiago, 26, Evangeline Ubaldo-Moreno, and Sebastian Ubaldo-Moreno.
Police are searching for the killer and arsonist who seemingly wanted to raze the evidence by attempting to burn down the home on Knapp Avenue in the leafy town close to Lake Ontario and the US-Canada border.
Irondequoit Police Chief Scott Peters, who has worked in law enforcement for 32 years, was visibly shaken at a presser as he described the scene as 'the worst thing I've ever seen' while vowing to 'bring these monsters to justice'.

Brutal, horrific family torture and mutilation, hallmarks of the Zeta's and other Cartel enforcement teams when drug trafficking members misbehave. No information that this is the case, but Hispanic surnames sadly a hint...
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Outraged Texas officials have stumped up the reward for any information about the suspect who killed a military veteran outside his retirement home.
Nelson Beckett, 90, a US Navy veteran, was shot and killed by an unidentified carjacker outside the Lonestar Senior Living Apartments in Houston on Saturday.
He was sitting in his car when the man approached him, assaulted him and shot him, according to Fox News. The perpetrator then stole Beckett's belongings and his vehicle before mowing him down with it.
Beckett's car was later found abandoned at an apartment complex on Dunlap Street, around three miles away. The 90-year-old was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead, according to ABC13.
As the search continues for the thief, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced on Monday that anyone with information who could bring him to justice will receive $10,000.
Crime Stoppers of Houston is also offering those with information about the suspect a $5,000 reward - bringing the total reward money up to $15,000 for anyone who could help police track down the suspect.
He has been described as a black man aged between 25 and 30, per Fox News.
In the meantime, family and friends are remembering the veteran as a kind and funny man.
He spent much of his retirement helping others, including by driving people without cars to doctor's appointments and Sunday church service.
Beckett even offered his home as a halfway house, taking lodgers to panhandle and driving them to church where he even baptized some of them.
'He loved big and loved his family so much,' his daughter, Tami Freund told Fox News. 'To him, everyone had value, and he would do anything for anyone.'
He also loved meeting new people and often greeted them with jokes or by handing out his business card which read 'my card,' Freund said.
'Nelson was a comedian of sorts,' Steve Sandifer, a friend of Beckett's for 47 years, added to Click 2 Houston.
'He always had a funny story. And so when he started talking about, well, "there was this man..." you knew it was a story, not a true thing. And you'd get around to the point eventually.
'But he was a very loving man, a very caring man. He was just a good, faithful Christian man. He loved Jesus. He loved his church.'
Sandifer also shared a story about Beckett's time in the Navy.
'He was in the Navy when they were doing the atomic bomb tests that went on. He was on a ship when the Bikini Atoll bomb was detonated,' he said.
'He talked about all the guys getting on the deck of the ship, and they told them to turn their back to the island.
'Evidently, they were human guinea pigs to see what was going to happen,' Sandifer said.
'He remembered the light was very, very bright. And it was like, some of the x-rays you'd see in the cartoons where the light was just immense.'
Beckett grew up in Oklahoma City, where he married his wife of 55 years.
The two then moved to Houston in the early 1960s with their two children.
At the time of his death, Beckett had five grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren with another on the way.
[FoxNews] Dimas Gabriel Yanez, 26, apprehended while running through corn field in Indiana.
A previously deported illegal immigrant from Honduras was arrested Sunday, authorities said, following an intense manhunt in Indiana after he was deemed a person of interest in the random stabbing of a teen girl at a baseball game.
The manhunt for Dimas Gabriel Yanez, 26, began Saturday after a 14-year-old girl was stabbed in the hand with a butcher-style knife while at her brother’s baseball game in unincorporated Lowell, Indiana, the Lake County Sheriff’s Office said.
When the girl’s mother tried to help, the suspect also tried to stab the mother before fleeing, according to authorities. The teen has since been treated and released from a hospital.
Authorities recovered a knife believed to have been used in the attack and named Yanez as a person of interest, warning the public that he should be considered armed and dangerous.
Yanez was apprehended later Sunday afternoon after a police officer with the sheriff’s department spotted him running through a cornfield, according to the sheriff’s office.
Investigators believe Yanez was in the process of trying to cut his hair to change his appearance and evade law enforcement just before he was apprehended.
The sheriff’s office said Yanez had previously been deported to Honduras in 2018 and "may have been engaged in criminal activity across the United States since returning to the country illegally."
[FoxNews] Five people were shot at a parade in Brooklyn, New York, on Monday when a man began firing into the crowd of the West Indian American Day festival parade, with two in critical condition.
"One person intentionally going after a group of people tried to ruin the day for everybody, and we’re not going to let that happen," NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell said in a news conference after the shooting.
He said four of the victims were men and one was a woman, with two in critical condition and three expected to survive.
Chell said there was no active shooter, and the parade was continuing.
Police are still searching for the suspect, whom Chell described as a Black man in his 20s with a slim build who was wearing a black shirt with paint stains and a black bandanna.
Chell added the police believe the shooting was "not random," but police don't know his motive.
Thousands of people were along the parade route Monday for the festival, which celebrates "Caribbean heritage and culture," according to the city. So the shooting was culturally appropriate
"I’m crying over this, it’s so terrible. How can someone have the heart to fire a gun around so many people — babies, children, the elderly," witness Jalissa Bailey told the New York Post.
"I know this parade has a history of violence, but things have been peaceful in recent years, and we got to hoping that there was enough security in place that maybe that was over with," she added.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A five-year-old boy was mauled by a mountain lion during a picnic with his family in a park campground.
The family was eating at Malibu Creek State Park, west of Los Angeles, about 4.30pm on Sunday when the animal struck.
The animal grabbed the child's head in its jaws and tried to run away with its prey before the boy's father wrestled him free.
About 40 people who were in the campground at the time were shocked that the mountain lion brazenly wandered into the crowded area and attacked.
'Somebody screamed the baby's name, and his dad started running,' a witness told KTLA.
'The father grabbed the mountain lion with his hands, and he just fought. Then the mountain lion let go.'
Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, State Park Rangers along with police and firefighters responded to rescue the boy, who suffered injuries to his head and eyes.
He was airlifted to Northridge Hospital Medical Center and released on Sunday night, but later returned to the hospital to treat complications.
The mountain lion climbed a tree after the boy's father and others chased it off, and was still there when rangers found it.
The lion was determined to be a public-safety threat and fatally shot by a park ranger.
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife collected evidence and samples from the boy's injuries and clothing, and matched it to the lion's DNA.

"The lion was determined to be a public-safety threat and fatally shot by a park ranger." It's always good to have a professonal opinion.

Since Kim Jong is the head of the government and is responsible for overseeing said government officials, should he execute himself as well? for failing to supervise their work?

Got to give it to him, he does have a way of insuring some accountability, "pour encourager les autres", that's matched by the total lack in our government.

Her husband Chris Hu was also charged.
Prosecutors say Sun acted as "an undisclosed agent of the Chinese government while her husband, Hu, facilitated the transfer of millions of dollars in kickbacks for personal gain."
They added that Sun used her position of influence in order to "covertly promote the PRC and CCP agendas" which "directly threatened our country’s national security."
