An unhinged man with a history of attacking strangers randomly slugged a 4-year-old boy in the head in Times Square — then promptly got lit up like the lights on Broadway by two women, with the child’s mother also stepping in to help restrain him until officers arrived, law enforcement sources and prosecutors said.

Sounds like he's a perpetually angry man. :?
To know is essentially the same as not knowing. The only thing that occurs is the rearrangement of atoms in your brain.

Source: AP
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Fourteen people were shot before dawn Saturday morning at a hookah parlor and police said one man died and that two of those hit by gunfire suffered critical injuries.

The shooting happened at about 3:15 a.m. and preliminary information indicated there was a party during which two people got into an altercation and exchanged gunfire, striking multiple people, said police Capt. Dori Koren.

Koren told reporters no arrests have been made and no suspect descriptions were immediately available but that authorities did not believe there was any danger to the general public.

Police went to the hookah bar identified by the Las Vegas Review-Journal as Manny’s Glow Ultra Lounge & Restaurant after receiving multiple 911 calls, Koren said.

Suicide bombing kills 56 at Shiite mosque in Pakistan
Source: AP

By KATHY GANNON and RIAZ KHAN

PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — A suicide bomber struck inside a Shiite Muslim mosque in Pakistan’s northwestern city of Peshawar during Friday prayers, killing at least 56 worshippers and wounding 194 people, hospital officials said.

No militant group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack. Both the Islamic State group and the Pakistani Taliban — a militant group separate from the Taliban in Afghanistan — have carried out similar attacks in the past in the area, located near the border with Afghanistan.

According to the spokesman at Peshawar’s Lady Reading Hospital, Asim Khan, many of the wounded were in critical condition. Scores of victims were peppered with shrapnel, several had limbs amputated and others were injured by flying debris.

Peshawar Police Chief Muhammed Ejaz Khan said the violence started when an armed attacker opened fire on police outside the mosque in Peshawar’s old city. One policeman was killed in the gunfight, and another police officer was wounded. The attacker then ran inside the mosque and detonated his suicide vest.

Pizza shop owner Louis Suljovic stabbed after trying to help Asian woman being attacked: "I would still do it tomorrow"

A father and his son are being called heroes after stopping a woman from being robbed outside of their pizzeria in Queens.

They were stabbed, and are now recovering at the hospital.

CBS2's Kevin Rincon heard from Louie Suljovic, the owner of the pizza shop.

Suljovic told Rincon he was working inside on Saturday when his father heard a woman crying out for help.

"He sees a woman being attacked. He hears screaming. He starts chasing him, yells my name. I follow suit because we're not gonna let this stand," he said.

Spring Breakers Flock to Florida: Police Arrest 160, Find Dozens of Guns
Source: Newsweek


BY GERRARD KAONGA ON 3/29/22 AT 7:40 AM EDT
Over 160 people were booked into county jail and Florida's Panama City Beach Police confiscated 75 guns, according to reports, as this year's Spring Break came to an end.

These arrests and gun confiscations came after Miami Beach declared a state of emergency following shootings in the area.

Among the orders made as a response to violence was a citywide curfew, which began at 12:01 a.m. on March 24 and ended at 6 a.m. on March 28.

"We can't endure this anymore, we just simply cannot have people come to our city and have to worry about being shot. That's not a way a city can operate," Mayor Dan Gelber said, regarding the fears around spring break violence.
