Man arrested for shooting a nursing mother in her home during an attempted robbery

A young mother, 21 year old, Semantha Bunce, was shot inside her home in east Charlotte last Tuesday and remains at Carolinas Medical Center with serious injuries caused by at least two gunshot wounds.
Bunce was shot by intruders who kicked in the front door to her home on Matlea Court last Tuesday morning, police said.

Bunce was feeding the baby when the assailants forced their way into the home. Bunce met the intruders at her bedroom door and when the men opened fire on her in the stairwell area, she fired back, her husband said.

“I think it was a shock to the intruders just as much as it was to her,” said Paul Bunce, her husband.

Paul told Channel 9 his wife is a combat medic with the National Guard. He believes her training allowed her to stay mentally focused and calm during what was a fight for her life.

“They've got a long journey,” said one neighbor outside the Bunce family’s home.

Tamar Braxton Rushed To The Hospital For Pneumonia

So scary.

On Monday, Tamar Braxton was rushed to the emergency room, not long before she's slated to perform on Dancing with the Stars.

Insiders say the 38-year-old has been suffering from pneumonia for a couple weeks now, and the rigorous rehearsals for the reality competition have only made it worse.

So, The Real panelist's husband, Vincent Herbert, drove her to the hospital, where she's currently being treated.

It's not clear as to whether or not the singer will be able to make the DWTS taping. If she doesn't, Tamar will probably get the boot, just like Kim Zolciak did following her mini-stroke.

But right now, the lovely lady's health is much more important than her standing on a television show. We're wishing her a speedy recovery during this scarysituation.

pictures that show why a US aircraft carrier is such a dominant force

Aircraft carriers are the heart of the US Navy. The deck of a carrier is literally a few acres of American territory floating around the world, projecting massive air and seagoing military might.

Carriers are expensive, with new Ford-class ships running about $13 billion, but they last about 50 years.

Business Insider visited the USS Eisenhower during a massive mine clearing effort in the Persian Gulf a few years ago.

The Ike, which is currently undergoing repairs, is the second-oldest US carrier still in service. But as you'll see, her age takes nothing from her powerful presence near foreign soil.

The US Navy currently has 10 commissioned carriers, some of which can carry upwards of 90 aircraft. Thousands of men and women serve on aircraft carriers, with 5,000 pilots, sailors, and Marines serving on the Ike at any one time.

Revealed the cause of the mysterious blue light in sky that sparked panic in California

A mysterious blue light streaking across the sky sparked panic on Saturday with people calling police with fears it was a flare, a comet or even a nuclear weapon.

The UFO flashed in the sky over southern California just after sunset and police and newspapers were inundated with calls from concerned members of the public.

Videos and photos were quickly posted online as people debated what it was on social media.

The light was reportedly seen as far away as Nevada - home of Area 51 - and Arizona.

However, it was later revealed to be an unarmed Trident missile fired from a Navy submarine, the USS Kentucky, off the coast.

How Vitamin D can turn you into Superman

Daylight savings time is here, whether you like it or not. That means more cold weather, less warm sun, and for some people, vitamin D deficiencies, which, like any vitamin deficiency, can cause a host of health problems.

This week, though, researchers completed a preliminary study on vitamin D and found that if you do happen to get enough of this essential vitamin, it not only reduces the risk of heart disease, but also helps you exercise more strenuously, while simultaneously exhibiting lower signs of exertion.
