13 people were killed today, including this gunman during a Washington Navy Yard shooting rampage.
The Washington DC gunman is 34-year-old Aaron Alexis. The Navy says Alexis was discharged after serving as a full-time reservist from 2007 to 2011.
Alexis left the Navy on Jan. 31, 2011, as a petty officer 3rd class. It's not immediately clear why he left. He was working for the fleet logistics support squadron No. 46, in Fort Worth, Texas. The Navy says his home of record was Flushing, Queens in New York City.
It certainly says something about the state of Hollywood today that a three minute ad produced at a fraction of the cost of most movies is more moving and poignant than almost anything the big studios have to offer.
The Thai telecommunications conglomerate True is getting rave reviews worldwide for its latest spot, "Giving," which tells the story of a man unexpectedly rewarded for a lifetime of good deeds he performed without expecting anything in return.
TrueMove too says it "believes in the power of giving without expecting a return."
Several people are dead, along with the shooter and many others have been injured as additional suspects are being sought following a shooting at Washington, DC's Navy Yard.
Public Safety officials say one gunman died in the shooting, and police are searching for additional suspects.
The Navy Yard was placed on lock-down after multiple shots were fired inside a building on the base, the U.S. Navy said.
At last count, 10 people were injured in the shooting, including eight civilians, one police officer and one base officer. Six people were killed according to official reports.
Sunday's Orchard Beach Classic Car, Truck, and Motorcycle Show was a successful fundraising event. This annual benefit began in 2001. NYPD, Highway Patrol Unit #1 Officer, Joseph Caldwell, organized the event in an effort to raise money for the families of police officers who were killed in the September 11th disaster.
Joseph Caldwell says this show has been called the largest one day classic car show on the East Coast and the organizers would like to thank you for your support in making their charitable efforts such a success!
It has now been five years after the financial collapse and unfortunately very little has changed.
Some of Wall Street's biggest financial firms, including JPMorgan Chase & Co and Bank of America have been placed on notice that the federal government is pursuing new prosecutions of possible abuses in the mortgage-backed securities industry.
Remember when you could fall asleep as soon as your head hit the pillow and not wake up until the alarm went off?
As we get older, it becomes a little harder to fall asleep and stay asleep. But although our sleep patterns change, our need for sleep doesn’t. Just like diet and exercise, a good night’s sleep is essential for your good health, for keeping you alert and energetic, and for building your body’s defenses against infection, chronic illness, and even heart disease.
