Jacksonville Shooting Survivors Describe Gunfire, Injuries At Madden Tournament
White College Student Charged With Making False Rape Claims Against Black Football Players Rolls Her Eyes At Her Sentencing
NIKKI YOVINO
JACKSONVILLE, FL - A Florida schoolteacher says he was one of those hurt in a deadly mass shooting Sunday at a "Madden" video game tournament in Jacksonville.
Two people were killed and nine injured by gun- fire, police said. Two others sustained injuries that were not gunshot wounds, according to authorities.
The suspected gunman, David Katz, killed him- self, officials said.
Dalton Kent, of Port St. Lucie, said he suffered a gunshot wound to the ankle.
“While the shooting hap- pened, a bullet ricochet and hit my foot, and once the shooting shopped we ran away," Kent said. "I waved down an ambulance

and they stopped."
He added: "When it hap-
pened, every time they shot, I was hoping they wouldn’t hit me. Really glad to be alive.”
Kent said he was in Jack- sonville for the tourna-

ment. He said one of his friends was also shot and was badly injured.
"My friend Larry was shot two times," Kent said. "He’s one of the ones in critical condition. Hope- fully, he comes through."
Nikki Yovino may have plead guilty to making false rape claims against two football players at a Connecticut college – but that doesn’t necessarily mean she’s remorseful.
The former Sacred Heart University student claimed she was raped by two men during a party in 2016, but then later admitted to making up the alle- gations because she wanted a potential love interest to feel sympathy for her. She shocked witnesses when she rolled her eyes in court as one of her vic- tims spoke about how her false allegations ruined his life.
Thursday, Yovino was sen- tenced to a year in jail in Bridgeport Superior Court after pleading guilty in June to mis- demeanor charges of falsely re- porting an incident and interfering with police.
The two students she ac- cused had remained anony- mous up until Thursday. One of the men, Malik St. Hi- laire, stepped forward to read a victim impact statement to the courtroom. In his state- ment St. Hilaire explained how Yovino’s false claims got him expelled from school.
“I went from being a college student to sitting at home being expelled with no way to clear my name,” St. Hilaire said. “I just hope she knows what she has done to me, my life will never be the same. I did nothing wrong, but everything has been altered because of this.”
But rather than be con- trite, Law & Crime reports that Yovino smirked and repeat- edly rolled her eyes as the young man addressed the room.

during a series of interviews and appearances promoting where she addressed a ru- mored tape of Trump saying the “N-word” – which does not appear in the book – and pro- duced a number of recordings including the moment she was fired from the administra- tion by Chief of Staff John Kelly.
“I have heard the tape. I know it exists and what I regret is that these people are trying to leverage it as an October sur- prise. I don’t want to be a part of it,” she said on NBC’s Meet the Press. “Once I heard it, it was confirmed what I feared the most: Donald Trump is a con. It confirmed he is truly a racist.”
A Florida high school sophomore who was 15 cents short of having enough money for a cafeteria lunch was turned away and the meal thrown in the trash, the girl’s mother is telling CBS News.
As a result, the girl spent the entire first day at school without anything to eat, the girl’s mother, Kimberly Aiken, told CBS affiliate WKMG-TV. The incident happened at University High School in Orange City, Fla.
“She puts her food on the tray, gets to the front, gives her number to the cashier, and she says, “Well, you owe 15 cents,” Aiken recalled.

“My daughter said she didn’t have any money, so the cashier took her food.”
Actually, the cashier threw the meal in the trash, the mom told the station. The mother declined to name her daughter.
“You want to make sure
that your kids are coming to school, and they’re going to be taken care of,” Aiken told CBS. “We already have all of the scary things hap- pening, but the one thing you don’t want them to worry about is: Are they going to be able to eat when they go to lunch?”
The school hosts a re- duced-lunch program but it had not yet taken effect, Aiken said. She told CBS that the 15-cent discrepancy must have been a carry over from the previous school year.
The school district said it would work with the family to resolve the incident.
