American Olympic sprinter Tyson Gay’s teenage daughter was killed by stray bullet in an apparent shootout at a restaurant.

Trinity Gay, 15, a rising track star died after being shot in the neck at a restaurant in Kentucky in the early hours of Sunday morning, October 16th. Tyson Gay, who grew up in Lexington told local news site LEX 18:

"She didn’t make it. I’m so confused. She was just here last week for fall break. It’s so crazy. I have no idea what happened."

 The runner told reporters he was very close with his daughter, who was following in her dad's footsteps as a rising track star. Police in Lexington, where the fatal shooting happened, said it happened at around 4am 98am.
According to police, a group of men in two cars outside of the Cook Out restaurant began shooting at each other before speeding off.

It is thought Trinity was a bystander who was not in the vehicles, described as a Dodge Charger and a dark coloured sports car with tinted windows, when she was shot. Police say they believe they have found one of the cars that could be involved in this shooting and they are questioning possible suspects.

In a statement police said they are now investigating the early morning homicide.
Trinity ran as an athlete for Lafayette High School, making a name for herself locally with success as a 100m and 200m sprinter.

"She was so innocent, she was so innocent," her mother, Shoshana Boyd, told the Daily News in a tearful interview. "I just want people to stop shooting and realise who they 're hurting. It's just random. They don't understand who they are hurting"

She said her daughter wanted to become a surgeon and also hoped to match the Olympic glory of her father.

"I should never have to bury my own child," Boyd said. "She wanted to be the fastest woman in the world, and they took that away from her".

Experienced skydiver dies after he is pulled out of a plane by his reserve parachute when it opened as he was about to jump.

A jumpmaster in central Florida has died while doing military-style parachuting with a group of people.

Authorities say the man's reserve chute accidentally opened as he knelt near the cargo door, pulling him out.

 

The man was pronounced dead by paramedics after falling 1,200 feet to the ground Friday, according to a statement from the Marion County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.

 

Florida officials say a jumpmaster's reserve chute accidentally opened as he knelt near the cargo door (pictured), pulling him out. He fell 1,200ft and was pronounced dead at the scene.

 

Witnesses told investigators that the man's body hit the side of the plane, and it was unclear if his military-style parachute fully deployed.

 

He wasn't immediately identified, pending notification of family.

The sheriff's office says the man was a jumpmaster, someone who helps train others in military jumping techniques.

 

This is the second death at the Marion County Airport this year.

Tomas Banevicius, a 40-year-old electrician from New York, died in a hang gliding accidente in February, Ocala.com reported.

 

Skydive San Marcos, a Texas-based company, told DailyMail.com they no longer own the plane used on the tragic jump ,despite a company decal seen on the aircraft.

BREAKING NEWS: Republican party headquarters is firebombed and an adjacent building is daubed with Nazi graffiti in North Carolina.

The Republican party headquarters in North Carolina was firebombed and an adjacent building was vandalized with the words: 'Nazi Republicans leave town or else.'

 

One state GOP official called the attack on the building in Hillsborough, Orange County an act of 'political terrorism', the Charlotte Observer reported.

 

A bottle, filled with flammable substance, was thrown into a window overnight, setting off a fire that scorched the interior of the building before the blaze burned itself out, police said.

 

Executive director of the state's Republican Party Dallas Woodhouse said the building was 'a total loss' and photos from the interior showed damaged yard signs bearing the names of Donald Trump and Mike Pence, along with other politicians.

 

With three weeks left until election day, Mayor Tom Stevens acknowledged the significance of the attack, saying: 'This highly disturbing act goes far beyond vandalizing property.

 

'It willfully threatens our community’s safety, and its hateful message undermines decency, respect and integrity in civic participation.'

A bottle, filled with flammable substance, was thrown into a window, setting off a fire that scorched the interior of the building before the blaze burned itself out.

 

Woodhouse issued a statement that said: 'Whether you are Republican, Democrat or Independent, all Americans should be outraged by this hate-filled and violent attack against our democracy.

'Whether the bomb was meant to kill, destroy property or intimidate voters, everyone in this country should be free to express their political viewpoints without fear for their own safety. 

'We will be requesting additional security at all Republican Party offices and events between now and Election Day to ensure the safety of our activists, volunteers, and supporters.'

An investigation is ongoing.  

 

 

Madonna has been named Billboard's 2016 Woman of the Year.

Queen of Pop Madonna Louise Ciccone has been named Billboard's 2016 Woman of the Year. According to Janice Min, the president and chief creative officer of The Hollywood Reporter-Billboard Media Group,

"Madonna is one of a miniscule number of super-artists whose influence and career transcend music. With her creative vision, relentless innovation, and dedication to philanthropic causes, she is an inspiration to hundreds of millions of people around the world, all while shattering every career record out there.
She is an important feminist on top of that, a one-of-a-kind artist who’s used her influence to change the conversation around women, sexuality and equal rights." 'From her Prince tribute alongside Stevie Wonder at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards to her political Met Gala appearance to her indelible commentary on the 2016 election, Madonna has remained a constant force in pop culture and source of cultural conversation over the past year,' Billboard reports.

'In addition to being the first female pop star with true control of her career and image, Madonna is the best-selling female recording artist of all time. She's earned 8 No. 1 albums (and 21 top 10 albums) on the Billboard 200 and 12 No. 1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100. With her 46th No. 1 on the Dance Club Songs chart in 2015, she extended her own record for the most No. 1s on a single Billboard chart.

She also holds the record for the most top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with 38.' Also, her 'philanthropic efforts are effecting real change in the world.' She will be honoured at the 11th annual Women in Music event, on Dec. 9 in New York City.

Twin boys conjoined at the head are finally separated after 20-hour op that veteran surgeon almost stopped half-way through.

A pair of twins conjoined at the head have been successfully separated after a 20-hour operation. 

 

Anias and Jadon McDonald, 13 months old, are recovering in the Bronx's Montefiore Hospital after their life-threatening operation on Thursday. 

 

According to their surgeon - Dr James Goodrich - it is incredible they made it this far.

 

Half way through the operation, the veteran neurosurgeon considered stopping the procedure altogether when they discovered the boys shared far more brain tissue than they had expected - even despite using 3D imaging to prepare. 

 

Made it out: One of the twins, Jadon (pictured), is recovering in his ward on Friday.

Anias was still in surgery late on Friday morning since he was more affected by the separation of their brain tissue.

Extraordinary: Anias and Jadon McDonald underwent surgery to be separated.

 

With every cut, Anias' heart rate and blood pressure plummeted. 

Eventually he found an opening and continued, successfully separating the two. 

 

However, it means that while Jaden is recovering relatively well, Anias was still in surgery late on Friday morning, and could face severe physical issues.

Their parents Nicole and Christian, from near Chicago, Illinois, sat in the waiting room the whole time. 

 

Nicole, 31, took to Facebook on Friday to explain all the details to the thousands of people that have followed the family's story. 

 

'The overall atmosphere was one of celebration mixed with uncertainty,' she explained. 

 

 

They boys were born via cesarean section last September near Chicago, Illinois.

They were attached by the crown of the head. 

 

Nicole and 37-year-old Christian insisted the boys were perfect as they were.

But in order to let them lead a normal life, they have traveled to Montefiore Hospital in the Bronx, New York, to have one of the world's most esteemed surgeons perform the incredibly rare operation to separate their heads. 

The operation costs $2.5 million.

Happy: Nicole, 31, and 37-year-old Christian, insisted the boys were perfect as they were.

 

The boys were wheeled into the operating theater at 7.15am on Thursday. 

'I could almost keep them like this,' Nicole told CNN before the operation, admitting that she had become attached to the boys this way. 

 

She said she knew this was for the best, but the fear that something could go wrong during surgery was excruciating.

'This is so hard. I'm not going to sugarcoat it,' she said.

 

Anias and Jadon, who have a three-year-old brother Aza, are technically called 'craniopagus twins' - a phenomenon that occurs just once in every 2.5 million births.

 

Based on national statistics, it is astonishing they made it to 13 months.

Around 40 per cent of craniopagus twins are stillborn. 

Of those that survive, a third die within 24 hours of birth

 

Doctors in China succesfully operate on 28-week-old fetus with heart disease...while inside mother's belly.

Doctors in Guangzhou Province, South China have successfully operated on a 28-week-old fetus with congenital heart disease - while in its mom’s belly.

The 39-year-old patient, whose surname is Xie, became pregnant for a second time six months ago. Twenty-one weeks later, she had an ultrasonic test which showed the fetus was suffering from arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia. The chances of survival are very low if surgery is undertaken after birth.


Xie insisted she wanted to keep the baby. And on September 22, doctors in Guangzhou conducted interventional cardiology treatment, with the help of experts from Austria. The size of the fetus’ heart was as small as an almond so the slightest movement could have resulted in damage, said Zhuang Jian, the director of Guangdong General Hospital.

Xie left the hospital four days after the successful operation. This is the first time Chinese doctors have conducted an interventional cardiology operation on a fetus’ congenital heart disease.

Photos: Fire outbreak at Birnin Kebbi power substation leaves two communities without power.

A fire incidence occurred in Birnin Kebbi power substation around 2.00am on Friday which led to two 7MVA transformers supplying power to Gwadangaji and Tudun Wada areas, completely burnt.

Kebbi State Governor, Abubakar Atiku Bagudu who personally visited the site of the incidence, while appreciating that no life was lost during the incidence, he expressed his concern over the inability of people from the affected communities to have power, and called on the power company to be able as soon as possible find a solution.


He also raised concern over the cost of the transformers, amounting to over N60 million each.
The Governor called on people from the affected communities to be calm while efforts will be made to restore power, though he emphasized that such is the responsibility of the Kaduna DISCO.

The Technical Manager of the Station, Mr Dogara also assured that they will do their best to see that people in the affected areas are provided with power.

Mercedes-Benz admits automated driverless cars would run over a CHILD rather than swerve and risk injuring the passengers inside.

Driverless cars would hit a child on the street if it meant saving the people inside the vehicle, Mercedes-Benz Australia says.

 

The luxury car brand's Australian branch has answered the moral dilemma of who a driverless car would save if it was faced with running over a child or swerving into a car and potentially killing the passengers.   

 

'If there is someone literally jumping in front of you, in that circumstance, there's nothing technology can do except reduce speed of impact,' Mercedes-Benz Australia spokesman David McCarthy told The Australian. 

The Mercedes-Benz F015 Luxury in Motion concept car, a self-driving, hydrogen-electric plug-in hybrid, makes its debut at the 2015 International Consumer Electronics Show.

'If an impact is inevitable, it will reduce the speed, tighten seatbelts and prime the brakes.

'The safety systems and impact protections are obviously greater within the cabin than outside.

'I would say that the vehicle is designed inside to protect the people inside, and it's the assistance systems that do that,' he said.

 

 

Mr McCarthy echoed the sentiments of Mercedes manager of driver assistance systems, Christoph von Hugo, who last week said that driverless technology would put the safety of passengers before pedestrians.

'If you know you can save at least one person, at least save that one. Save the one in the car. If all you know for sure is that one death can be prevented, then that's your first priority,' Mr von Hugo told Car and Driver Magazine.

But he added that the car giant's engineers 'prevent these situations from happening at all.'

 

Australia is heavily investing in driverless technology as it trials self-driving cars with Holden at a research hub in South Australia.

Volvo and Uber recently announced they were joining forces in a $300m project to develop autonomous 'base vehicles'. 

Safety issues were thrust into the limelight when 40-year-old Ohio man Joshua Brown was killed while using the car's autopilot function.

Mr Brown and the autopilot feature failed to detect an incoming white truck due to the sun's bright glare.
