Taliban storms Pakistan school, killing scores of children

Taliban gunmen stormed into a Pakistan school Tuesday and killed at least 126 people, most of them children, before army commandos swept in and halted the siege, Pakistan authorities said.
The attack at the Army Public School — a military-run facility in the northwestern city of Peshawar for students in grades 1-10 — began in the early morning when gunmen entered the school and shot at random, police officer Javed Khan said.
Army commandos quickly arrived at the scene and exchanged fire with the gunmen, he said. An intelligence official told the Associated Press that nine militants had been killed. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.

i cant breath pt 2

The growing outcry comes in the midst of a "week of outrage" over police brutality after recent deaths of unarmed black men in Ferguson, Missouri and New York.

The outage peaked twice in recent weeks as grand juries decided not to indict white police officers in the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner.

Witnesses said Brown had his hands up when he was shot and killed.

In Garner's case, he was put in a chokehold. His final words: "I can't breathe. I can't breathe."

Professional athletes joined the demonstrations on November 30 when five St. Louis Rams players made the "hands up, don't shoot" gesture before a game against the Oakland Raiders to remember

Michael Brown's Stepfather Under Investigation for Outburst

Investigators are considering whether to charge Michael Brown's stepfather with attempting to incite a riot for urging a crowd in Ferguson, Missouri, to "burn this bitch down" as part of a larger inquiry into violence after a grand jury declined to indict a white police officer in the shooting death of the unarmed black teenager, authorities told NBC News on Tuesday.

Louis Head, who is married to Lesley McSpadden, the young man's mother, could be seen screaming that call and stronger ones at a gathering in Ferguson shortly after the grand jury's "no bill" decision in the case of Ferguson police Officer Darren Wilson was announced late Nov. 24.

Head isn't the focus of the inquiry, St. Louis County police Sgt. Brian Schellman told NBC News. His comments are just one part of a county and state investigation into arson, looting, destruction of property and other alleged offenses the night of Nov. 24, Schellman said.

Morgantown Police are still investigating how Burch ended up unresponsive on a fraternity house floor on November 12, suffering from what was described by university officials as a "catastrophic medical emergency."  More than a week after the incident, authorities have not confirmed Burch's official cause of death, which will be determined by a medical examiner.    

New details obtained Friday indicated that Burch received citations for possession of alcohol and underage consumption on March 22, 2014, nearly five months before beginning his freshman year at West Virginia University.  Burch was scheduled to appear in Monongalia County court at 11 a.m. on Monday, December 1.  Burch's charges will be vacated, said Morgantown Police Chief Ed Preston.
