A graduation party turned deadly outside Phoenix, Arizona. That standoff in Mesa is now over. But here's what happened: Police say a man got into a fight and shot and killed two adults. Five others were injured, including a 10- year-old and a police officer. After holding police in a standoff, the man eventually gave himself up.
And a mother in Portland, Oregon, is facing some serious charges this morning. Police say she threw her two children into a river, killing one of them. Witnesses apparently heard the children scream before daybreak Saturday morning and called police.
The body of the woman's four-year-old son was pulled from the river about an hour later. Her seven-year-old daughter was rescued. She is in serious condition. The community is in shock.
It's basically complete shock. My heart hurts because of the children. I don't think a mother would do that. That's really out of character, especially being a mom myself.
Police say they found the suspect Amanda Jo Stott-Smith in a parking garage in downtown Portland. They have charged her with murder and attempted aggravated murder.
We turn to a British tabloid now. When you say that, you don't know what's coming next usually.
Well, you know it will be salacious and this one is. HOLMES: It's pretty salacious stuff here. Fifteen hundred bucks, they say, is all it took to get an undercover reporter past security at Britain's Buckingham Palace.
Yes. Usually, you have to show a photo I.D., and here's the hidden camera video of the security breach at the queen's London residence that happened in the Royal Garage. London's News of the World" says it happened there. The reporter paid off a royal chauffeur, apparently, got a tour of the royal fleet and even sat inside one of the queen's cars.
Can you imagine that? Buckingham Palace, as you might imagine, is investigating this.
Yes, you can't do that. I can't get into the presidential limo with 1,500 bucks here, can I?
No, you can't. A little different across the pond, apparently.
A little different.
Some workers got trapped in their store because of bees. They were scared to leave the place. Take a look at this. This is a store in New York. Thousands of bees apparently stormed the place. You see them out there. They are scared to come out. See the sign? "Temporary closed due to bee infestation."
Where did this happen? It happened in upstate New York?
No, this is in Union Square.
It was? In New York City?
Yes. In New York City.
You know those bees actually might get me to leave the store.
They were trapped there. A passerby, a Good Samaritan, tried to help out there. They finally got a bee expert who lured all these bees away.
The hives. The hives will be moved to upstate New York.
The hives are going to be moved, yes.
Exactly where they belong. Yikes. A scare. |
