An Arizona teenager “upset over his upbringing” tried to kill his parents hours after Mother’s Day ended — and was disappointed to learn they both survived the sick attack that “he had been planning for years,” according to authorities.

Jeremiah Estel Blair, 19, allegedly shot his parents inside their home in Chandler, about 20 miles from Phoenix, Monday morning, police said. 

The pair were rushed to the hospital, where they were treated for their wounds. 

The unkempt-looking young man, who was arrested without incident at the scene, quickly admitted to the shooting that was apparently years in the making, courts documents...

A Texas boy is lucky to be alive after bullets from a drive-by shooting smashed through his apartment window and missed him by mere inches, as seen in disturbing security camera footage from inside his home.

The video shows Errol Hill, 9, climbing onto the couch in his living room around 7:30 p.m. just as a plume of dust and smoke erupts into the home through the front window, causing the boy to recoil in fright before taking cover behind what appears to be a washing machine.



“It came through the wall,” the shaken but unharmed youngster told NBC 5.

The Scituate Animal Shelter of Massachusetts recently introduced Chewbacca, nicknamed Chewy, who they describe as a funny fella who loves everyone. “This adorable mutt is built like an oversized Shih Tzu and weighs 25 lbs. Since he was found as a stray and never claimed, we don't know much about his past.” Chewy has a personality as unique as his looks. "He is overly friendly with all, dogs included. He can come on a bit strong but in the kindest way. He wants everyone to be his friend!" states the Scituate Animal Shelter of Massachusetts, who is currently caring for Chewy until he finds his forever home.

Do you wonder what that nasty smell that has been cropping up all over Denver is?. I know. Denver has lots of nasty smells, including urine and feces in the alleys. There also is the unmistakable chemical smell of meth that turns some people’s stomachs. And of course, marijuana lingers in the air Denver-wide.

MINNEAPOLIS — The party line around the Yankees in recent weeks, as Aaron Judge began to emerge from his slow start to the season, was that he was not locked in yet. 

The Yankees captain still won’t admit it, but his at-bats recently are indicating otherwise, with Wednesday providing the latest proof. 

Judge crushed his 11th home run of the season, a 467-foot moonshot, and added three doubles and a walk to lead the Yankees past the Twins 4-0 at Target Field. 



“We’re getting there, we’re getting there,” Judge said with a grin after going 4-for-4 with two RBIs and two runs scored....

Wild video shows a man creeping up to a couple on a Queens street and trying to hit them — before the pair turned the attack around, leaving him with multiple stab wounds Wednesday, police said.

The 37-year-old man could be seen trailing the duo as they strolled with a dog near 49th and Broadway in Woodside around 2:45 p.m., according to the NYPD.

Surveillance footage shows him tossing his coat on the ground before pouncing on the other man, who, due to a foot injury, was riding a scooter alongside the woman holding the pup.
