[AJC] Authorities say they believe the teenage boy who was taken into custody following a shooting at the Townville Elementary School first fatally shot his father.
Capt. Garland Major told a news conference that the shooter used a handgun and that one of the students was shot in the leg and the other in the foot. He said a female teacher was shot in the shoulder during Wednesday's shooting at Townville Elementary.
Two children and an adult were maimed Wednesday afternoon when a gunman shot up the elementary school in South Carolina, according to multiple reports.

Put any body in a simulation in which you don't know for sure, someone turns and points something at you that could be a gun. You live or you die by your reaction. A lot of those put in the sim would come up dead. Keep running it a dozen times or so with the same player and see either a game of quick draw or a lot of people who could never be a live cop on the beat.
North Korea's foreign minister on Friday threatened that his country "will continue to take measures to strengthen its national nuclear armed forces in both quantity and quality."
In a further gesture of defiance against international sanctions, Ri Yong-ho refused to meet with UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
Ri said the aim of North Korea's nuclear weapons program was to "defend the dignity and right to existence and safeguard genuine peace vis-a-vis the increased nuclear war threat of the United States."
He accused the UN Security Council of supporting the power politics of the U.S. and other "hostile forces." He denounced the latest UN Security Council Resolution and asked why other nuclear weapons states have never been sanctioned.
Ri added there is no evidence in the UN Charter or international law that stipulates nuclear and ballistic missile tests are a threat or should be outlawed. He called on South Korea and the U.S. to halt joint military exercises on the North's doorstep.
The North Korean foreign minister arrived in New York on Sept. 20 but did not schedule any meetings with other world leaders.
Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, speaking on the same day, urged North Korea to scrap its nuclear weapons and missile development.

Jawn should buy Kim a coke
And keep him company
And then offer him a toke
And pat him on his knee
Jawn could then stroke his chin
And turn on all his charms
At last he could enlighten dear Kim:
You can't hug with nuclear arms.
[AlAhram] German police rubbed out a knife-wielding Iraqi in a refugee shelter who was attacking a Pak he suspected of having sexually abused his young daughter, police said Wednesday.
The 29-year-old Iraqi died after being hit by several police bullets late Tuesday in the asylum seekers' shelter in the central Berlin district of Moabit.
Police were called to the shelter after the 27-year-old Pak man allegedly sexually abused an eight-year-old girl in a nearby park, BZ daily reported.
When police detained the suspect and led him away in handcuffs, the girl's father lunged at him with a knife, yelling "you won't survive this," according to witnesses.
He was cut down by several police bullets and died hours later in hospital. The alleged sexual attacker remained uninjured. The girl and her mother were undergoing counselling.
Police did not immediately release the personal details of those involved.
An internal police enquiry was launched, a routine step after deadly shots have been fired, while the police union warned against condemning the officers involved.
"The officers had to prevent an act of vigilante justice and a situation that was life-threatening for them," said the union's Berlin chief Bodo Pfalzgraf.
He reiterated a union demand that police be equipped with electric stun guns, saying "police don't want to kill but are forced to if the government doesn't give them other operational means".
Germany last year took in one million asylum seekers, around half of them from war-torn Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, housing them in hostels, sports gyms, army barracks and other facilities nationwide.

A cut to 32.5 million barrels would represent a cut of nearly 1 million barrels a day. OPEC production in August was 33.24 million barrels a day, it said in its monthly oil market report.
The producing group will agree to concrete levels of production by each country at its next formal meeting in November, the sources said. One source also said that once production targets were reached, OPEC would reach out to non-OPEC producers for cooperation.
Saudi Energy Minister Khalid al-Falih said on Tuesday Iran, Nigeria and Libya would be allowed to produce "at maximum levels that make sense" as part of any output limits which could be set as early as the next OPEC meeting in November.
The Saudi and Iranian economies depend heavily on oil but in a post-sanctions environment, Iran is suffering less pressure from the halving in crude prices since 2014 and its economy could expand by almost 4 percent this year, according to the International Monetary Fund. The Saudi economy has been suffering from record budget deficits after a record gap of $98 billion last year.

[Iran Wire] Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei has “explicitly forbidden” former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad from putting himself forward as a candidate in Iran’s 2017 presidential election. Despite not having any constitutional remit to intervene in elections, Khamenei’s announcement has injected new emotion and drama into Iran’s already divided political arena.
Although media reports around the globe had speculated about Khamenei’s displeasure over the last 10 days, the supreme leader only publicly announced his objections on Monday, September 26 — though he stopped short of mentioning Ahmadinejad directly. The announcement surprised many in Iran, who assumed the leader would not choose to be so open about his views.
“It is true that someone – a gentleman – had come to see me,” Khamenei said in his speech. “I said to him that he should not participate in [the election] because of his own interests and in the interests of the country. I did not tell him he should not participate. Rather, I told him I do not think it would be a wise course of action."
Khamenei went on to say that, bearing in mind the general mood in Iran at the moment, he believed the “gentleman’s participation” in the forthcoming election would polarize the country.
But Khamenei also knows from experience that Ahmadinejad is likely to defy him, ignoring any hints or even a confidential message from the supreme leader. Now Khamenei has made his views clear again. He has forced Ahmadinejad to go home and stay there until he says otherwise. If Ahmadinejad dares to defy him again, it could spell the end of his political life.

A mother who decided not to have her daughters vaccinated because she believed in anti-vaccine propaganda had a rude awakening when all three of her little girls fell ill with a nasty case of rotavirus, which causes acute stomach distress and is potentially fatal.
Kristen O'Meara told NBC News: "It was awful, and it didn't have to happen, because I could have had them vaccinated. I felt guilty. I felt really guilty." O'Meara and her husband also also caught the virus and the family was sick for weeks.

I too thought Obola retired this award a few years ago along with the Noble Peach Prize and the Most Transparent and Honest Government in History" Award.
Her three children — all under the age of 7 — are now fully vaccinated, after an aggressive regimen to bring them up to date on recommended shots.
And she went on a television news show to tell her story -- a true teachable moment. I'd say she has learnt at least the direct lesson, about vaccinating and, because she talks about the importance of getting both sides of the story, it looks like she is aware of the meta-lesson about confirmation bias as well.

First, she was dumb, probably trying to fit in with her peers. Just a guess. Now, not as dumb. Maybe.
Now, I refused a medical procedure that all the doctors told me was great and my only hope for a normal life. It seemed pretty iffy to me, and I demurred. Now, it seems like maybe 100% of those that had the surgery died or it was rejected by their bodies after 5-7 years. I figure I was lucky. Dumb luck.

As Instapundit often says, I'll believe that global warming is a crisis when the people who are telling me that it's a crisis start acting like it's a crisis.

The scariest thing is not that the entitled class behaves that way. The scariest thing is that you tell the story to an average (middle class) left-winger and he or she will ask "and, what's the point of the story?".
