Crime: Waffle House shooting suspect thought Taylor Swift was stalking him, was arrested at White House
The man suspected of gunning down four people at a Waffle House restaurant in Tennessee during an early-morning, half-naked rampage has a history of run-ins with police -- including once telling cops that music star Taylor Swift was stalking him. Authorities in Tazewell County, Ill. revealed Sunday that police encountered Travis Reinking, 29, in a CVS parking lot on May 27, 2016 during an apparent "mental health crisis," according to a police report obtained by Fox News. This is obviously a mental illness issue that should have been handled with earlier.

Asia: Three passengers injured, window broken after Air India plane hits severe turbulence
Terrified passengers were left fearing for their lives when turbulence cracked a jet's window -- hours after a woman died after she was sucked out of another plane. The latest mid-flight emergency - on board the Boeing 787 Dreamliner - left many of the 240 passengers on-board in tears and praying for help. At least three people are understood to have been treated for minor injuries while camera phone footage shows the window panel "falling off." The mid-air drama came after a woman died when another engine fire caused an explosion to suck the victim from one of the plane's window. This is terrible.
Alabama: Man found dead on east Birmingham road; investigation ongoing
An investigation is underway after a man was found dead on an east Birmingham roadway. A passerby made the discovery about 10:43 a.m. Saturday in the 7800 block of Georgia Road. Chief Deputy Coroner Bill Yates said the victim - an adult white male - was found partially in the road under the Oporto-Madrid Boulevard bridge. The man did have injuries, but Yates said it's still unclear how those injuries were sustained. It's possible he fell from the bridge. It did not appear he had been struck by a vehicle. There was no obvious sign of foul play, but it hasn't been ruled out. I wonder if t was murder.
Jeffco mother dies 5 days after shot in the head; ex-husband remains jailed
A Jefferson County mother critically wounded one week ago in a shooting at her home has now died. Habibba Moneque Walker, a 45-year-old mother of three, died Saturday at UAB Hospital. She was on life support five days before she was pronounced dead at 11:54 a.m., according to the Jefferson County Coroner's Office. Her ex-husband, Dereck Jamaille Walker, remains in the Escambia County Jail. Two days after the shooting, he waived extradition in a Pensacola courtroom. He is currently charged with attempted murder and first-degree armed burglary but authorities will now ask that those charges be upgraded to capital murder. I wonder what the motive is.
