Authorities: 5 dead after shootings in Fla.
Deputies called to a Florida home because neighbors heard gunshots found a person shot dead in the front yard, then found more people fatally shot inside the house, authorities said Tuesday.
Lt.
Tod Goodyear of the Brevard County Sheriff's Office said that when
deputies first found the person in the front yard, they set up a
perimeter around the home in Port St. John. The city is about 15 miles west of Cape Canaveral in an area known as the "Space Coast" because it is the home of NASA's Kennedy Space Center, home of numerous famed shuttle launches.
After
setting up the perimeter, officials saw someone at the door. That
person went back inside, and then more gunshots were heard, Goodyear said. When officers went inside, that's when they found the other four bodies.
Iran hangs "Mossad agent' for scientist killing
Iran has hanged a man it said was an agent for Israeli intelligence agency Mossad whom it convicted of killing one of its nuclear scientists in 2010, Iranian state media reported on Tuesday.
Tehran has accused Israel and the United States of assassinating four Iranian scientists since 2010 in order to sabotage its nuclear program which the West suspects is hiding Iran's attempt to develop a nuclear weapons capability.
While Israel has
declined to comment on the killings, it regards Iran's nuclear program
as an existential threat and has threatened military action against
Tehran. Washington has denied any U.S. role.
New generation challenges some blacks in Congress
For two decades, Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson has been an outspoken voice for Democrats in her signature bright blazer and multicolored scarf.
Now
the first black woman to represent North Texas in Congress faces
serious opposition in the May 29 primary election, and the effort to
unseat her is just one of several challenges against some of the
longest-serving black members of Congress.
"I will always be ever more grateful for the trails that she has blazed," said Eva Jones, owner of a barbeque restaurant who was chairwoman of Johnson's first House campaign in 1992. But "there has come a time where we need new leadership, like in any business, like with anything."
