Michigan police say 6 dead in random shooting spree, suspect arrested

The accused gunman who police say killed six people and wounded two others during a rampage in Michigan on Saturday night is a married father of two who was working as an Uber driver, USA Today reported.

Jason Dalton, 45, passed a background check when he was hired by Uber, the company told the paper. Dalton had no criminal record and only five traffic violations, police said.

A Michigan prosecutor said authorities were investigating a Facebook post that indicated Dalton picked up Uber customers around the time of the shootings. Kalamazoo County Prosecutor Jeff Getting says he was aware of the post, but was not prepared to discuss it.

Dalton lived just outside Kalamazoo, where the shootings occurred, in a ranch-style house with his wife of at least 15 years and two children, ages 10 and 15, according to USA Today.

HOW NIGERIAN STUDENTS & YOUTH CORPERS DISCOUNT CARD SAVED MY FUTURE @NSYCDC

My dear young folks in the tertiary institutions in Nigeria. I write you out of care and concern. Because I truly do. In 2002 I was involved in an effort that ensured that sitting for "almighty JAMB" won't give you and your parents nightmare as it used to be. I was involved in putting together a JAMB endorsed Publication that had worked out answers of questions over 21 years in 12 subjects and with a CD ROM attached . With that effort a lot of young people went on to pass JAMB without fear and recourse to "miracle centers " we had people who earned their scores . It's been 12 years after many have gone on to become engineers , lawyers , medical doctors etc and the mails chronicling their testimonies remain my eternal joy. A candle lighting another does not extinguish the light or reduce the glow of the other.

Tragic: John Myers (left) pictured with his sons Michael (right) and tragic Ryan Myers (centre), who took his life after building up thousands in gambling debts

The father of a man who hanged himself after building up thousands in gambling debts is calling for a change to fixed-odds betting terminals.

John Myers said he believed his son Ryan committed suicide because he felt he had “lost control” after losing thousands of pounds in May 2014.

The 27-year-old carpenter from Huyton had a serious gambling addiction, and had taken out a payday loan and even asked several websites to ban him to curb his spending.

On the day he killed himself alone he had blown £500 on a fixed-odds machine (FOBT) – electronic gaming machines that players can use to bet on the outcomes of various simulated games and events like roulette and horse races.

John said Ryan was engaged and had been laughing and joking as usual on a family holiday in Turkey just a few days earlier.

The simple mistake you're making every day when washing your face that is DESTROYING your skin

Cleansing your face morning and night is the most basic part of any skincare routine.

But if you're completing this task while in the shower - you're not doing your appearance any favours.

While many of us would assume that tilting our face upwards beneath refreshing running water is the key to getting squeaky clean skin, the heat and pressure of the water is in fact causing damage, skincare expert Kaye Scott told Daily Mail Australia. 

What to do instead: Instead, you should rinse your face at the sink cupping your hands with tepid water 

Nairobi residents get scare after six lions briefly slip out of city-adjacent national park

 

A team of wildlife rangers went out to find the lions 'prepared for anything' and return them to the park, but the lions were later spotted back in the park, having made their own way back.

NAIROBI, Kenya — Six lions walked out of Nairobi National Park and were roaming through parts of the city on Friday, scaring residents for a few hours before the big cats returned to the reserve.
The lions were first spotted at 4 a.m. near a hospital in the suburb of Langata, and later near Kibera, Kenya’s largest slum, said Kenya Wildlife Service spokesman Paul Udoto.
A team of wildlife rangers went out to find the lions “prepared for anything” and return them to the park, but the lions were later spotted back in the park, having made their own way back, Udoto said.
Nairobi National Park’s 117-square-kilometres is home to endangered black rhinos, lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, buffaloes, giraffes and diverse birdlife. The animals roam just 10 kilometres from downtown Nairobi, which lies north of the park.
Occasionally lions will clash with people on the southern side, which is not fenced.
In 2012 six lions were killed after the pride of eight lions attacked and killed eight goats of Masaai herdsmen. Only about 2,000 lions are left in Kenya; the devastating effect of years of hunting and then poaching.
The government has announced plans to build a railway that will traverse part of the reserve. Conservationists have opposed the railway line, saying it will further damage wildlife habitat.

Good Morning Britain weather girl Laura Tobin left her co-stars and viewers speechless after she accidentally ripped a 'rare' superhero poster worth £150,000 live on air. 

The 34-year-old breakfast host donned a pair of white protective gloves to present a picture of The Replicator when the 'mishap' occurred. 

After a tense pause and panicked calls to go to an advert, Laura revealed that the whole thing was actually a hilarious prank.

To mark the start of comic book and sci-fi festival Comic Con, Laura was tasked with showcasing rare magazines and expensive memorabilia.

Setting up the skit, Laura informed the audience: 'We've got a very special display here called The Replicator Man. 

'Now, this was a character back in the 70s. This is a special poster that is worth about £150,000 and there's only ten of them in the world.'

Rather haphazardly handling the image, Laura continued: 'So here we go. No one's really seen this before.
