Chicago Police Make Arrest In Shooting Death Of 9-Year-Old Tyshawn Lee Police announced that they had made an arrest in the death of Tyshawn Lee , a 9-year-old whose alleged gang-related slaying spurred outrage in Chicago. Chicago police detectives made “an arrest in the unspeakable murder,” department spokesman Anthony Guglielmi tweeted early Friday. It wasn’t immediately clear whether the person arrested is the one who authorities believe opened fire on young Tyshawn or was involved in some other way. The boy was shot in the face and back on November 2 as he headed to a park down the street from his grandmother’s house to play basketball, the Rev. Michael Pfleger said at the funeral. He was “lured” into an alley in what Chicago police Superintendent Gerry McCarthy called “probably the most abhorrent, cowardly, unfathomable crime that I’ve witnessed in 35 years of policing.” “We’re pretty sure that this is not an accident,” McCarthy said, claiming that the boy was targeted because of his “family relationship with a member of a gang.” “He was not a bystander.” Chicago was called the murder capital of the United States after it registered 503 homicides in 2012, more than any other city. Those numbers have ticked down, though the FBI’s 2014 statistics showing 411 killings still outpaced other cities (such as New York with 333 and Los Angeles with 260) with higher populations. The Auburn-Gresham neighborhood, where gangs battle over turf and the right to sell drugs, and where Tyshawn was gunned down, is among the most dangerous. When will the Chicago violence end?!
Ahmed Mohamed Demands $15 Million From Texas School District An attorney for the family of Muslim teen clockmaker Ahmed Mohamed is demanding $15 million from Texas school district, along with an apology for how Mohamed was treated when he brought his homemade clock to school according to TIME reports… Mohamed is the 14-year-old Texas ninth-grader-turned-celebrity who was arrested at school after a homemade clock he brought in was mistaken for a bomb. He has since been honored everywhere from Google to the White House. Mohamed’s attorney sent letters to the City of Irving and the Irving Independent School District adding new details and accusations to the story, with the family alleging that authorities “sought to cover its mistakes with a media campaign that further alienated the child at the center of this maelstrom,” the Dallas Morning News reports. The Mohamed’s are asking for $15 million in damages, as well as apologies from key players—the school district, MayorVan Duyne and Police Chief Larry Boyd, alleging “They stoked the flames. They tried to push responsibility off on the victim—Ahmed.” Lesley Weaver, spokeswoman for the Irving school district, said in a statement Monday that the school district’s attorneys “will review the information and respond as appropriate, as with any legal matter,” reports the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram. Attorneys for the family said they would give the school district and the city 60 days to comply before filing a civil lawsuit. Do you think Ahmed should get millions for his homemade clock??

Khloe Kardashian To Throw Celebrity Birthday Party For Lamar Odom At Los Angeles Hospital Today THIS won’t be awkward at all… According to PEOPLE , Lamar Odom’s legal spouse, Khloe Kardashian is planning a birthday party for her hospitalized husband today at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. Odom turns 36 years old today, and after nearly losing him at age 35, Khloe feels that it’s only right that Lamar’s loved ones come to the hospital to lift his spirits. Kardashian, 31, reached out to Odom’s former teammates as well as two of his best friends that are not NBA players, the source says. Though the Los Angeles Lakers are on a road trip, Kobe Bryant will send a gift and connect with his former teammate via FaceTime, and Lakers player Ron Artest will also try to phone in via video chat. A few Los Angeles Clippers players will try to come by the hospital after their practice, and Kardashian arranged for Odom’s NBA trainer of 15 years to come as well. The party is set to take place not in Odom’s hospital room but in a separate private room. Kardashian has arranged for a cake, balloons and party hats. “It’s something very small and very short but will make him feel amazing,” the source says. “Then Khloé will be with him for the rest of the day.” The source adds that only a select amount of people can attend, and Kardashian had the get-together approved by his doctors. “It’s just a very small group of people because Lamar cannot handle too much stimulus, but the doctors are allowing a small group for a short time on his birthday,” the source says. We totally understand Khloe’s desire to cheer Lamar up, but we also can see how off-putting it might be for some to celebrate and be joyous while a man they love is in such dire straits. Hit the flip to see some of the good times that Lamar and Khloe had back in day…pre pills and pre enhanced azz. Image via WENN/Splash/Instagram/E!

Ben Carson Admis That He Lied About Getting A Full Scholarship Ben Carson has been called a lot of things in the past few months but now the public can add “liar” to the long list of labels for the presidential hopeful according to Politico . Ben Carson’s campaign on Friday admitted, that a central point in his inspirational personal story was fabricated: his application and acceptance into the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. The academy has occupied a central place in Carson’s tale for years. According to a story told in Carson’s book, “Gifted Hands,” the then-17 year old was introduced in 1969 to Gen. William Westmoreland, who had just ended his command of U.S. forces in Vietnam, and the two dined together. That meeting, according to Carson’s telling, was followed by a “full scholarship” to the military academy. West Point, however, has no record of Carson applying, much less being extended admission. “In 1969, those who would have completed the entire process would have received their acceptance letters from the Army Adjutant General,” said Theresa Brinkerhoff, a spokeswoman for the academy. She said West Point has no records that indicate Carson even began the application process. “If he chose to pursue (the application process), then we would have records indicating such,” she said. When put on blast with these facts, Carson’s campaign admitted that the story was indeed false. “Dr. Carson was the top ROTC student in the City of Detroit,” campaign manager Barry Bennett wrote in an email to POLITICO. “In that role he was invited to meet General Westmoreland. He believes it was at a banquet. He can’t remember with specificity their brief conversation but it centered around Dr. Carson’s performance as ROTC City Executive Officer.” “He was introduced to folks from West Point by his ROTC Supervisors,” Bennett added. “They told him they could help him get an appointment based on his grades and performance in ROTC. He considered it but in the end did not seek admission.” Carson would have needed to seek admission in order to receive an offer of free education from West Point. Also, according to West Point, there is no such thing as a “full scholarship” to the military academy, as Carson represented in his book. What else is Ben Carson’s shady azz lying about??
