MIAMI, FL -- Unexpected chaos broke out during a high school football game Friday night as fans scrambled for safety and players and coaches ducked for cover after several shots were fired in the parking lot with three minutes left to go in the game.
Fans at the playoff game be- tween Miami Central and Carol City High and Nathaniel “Traz” Powell Stadium reacted on social media, tweeting and posting from the stands as everyone tried to make sense of what was happening. Three teens have been arrested in the shooting incident, which yielded no injuries, police said Saturday.
“It’s Friday night under the lights of Traz Powell and we’re trying to enjoy ourselves and watch these kids and watch them play to better them- selves,” said Latrell Dennis who was in the stands.
Dennis witnessed the scene as fans scrambled out of the bleachers and she was relieved that no one got hurt or tram- pled. She said the community, churches and families have to step up to combat gun violence and prevent incidents like Fri- day night’s shooting.
“You’re able to get a gun quicker than anything and that just doesn’t make sense to me.” Dennis said. “It’s going to take a whole community to get us back where we used to be.”
The three arrested in the shooting are: Larico Walker, 18, Kaion Lynch, 18, and Mark Trimble, 19. They were charged with pos- session of a firearm on school property. Walker and Lynch face an additional charge third degree grand theft of a firearm. Trimble and Walker were also charged with carrying a concealed weapon.
Miami-Dade Schools spokes- man John Schuster said several other individuals were questioned by Miami-Dade Schools police.
Screams were heard com- ing from the stands and fans were seen running to the exits located on each side of the grandstand when at least two gunshots were heard in the distance.
Police ran into the stands in an attempt to restore control as coaches yelled and waved frantically for players to get down.
The game was immediately halted and the field was cleared. Miami Central was ul- timately declared the winner of the game 36-8 in a Region 4-6A semifinal game.
But the score was not the primary concern for Carol City coach Aubrey Hill in the midst of the ruckus. Hill said his focused shifted to following protocol and on to ensuring the safety of his players and staff.
NEW ORLEANS, LA---- De- mocrat John Bel Edwards won the runoff election for Louisiana governor Saturday, defeating the once-heavy fa- vorite, Republican David Vit- ter, and handing the Democrats their first statewide victory since 2008.
Edwards, a state lawmaker, will take over the office from term-limited Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal in January.
Voters' rejection of Vitter was a stunning turn of events for the U.S. senator, who has been a political powerhouse in the state for years and started his campaign nearly two years ago as the race's front-runner. Edwards' win offered a rare pick-up of a governor's seat for Democrats in the conservative Deep South.
After his loss, Vitter imme- diately announced that he wouldn't seek re-election to the U.S. Senate next year, creating a new competition for what had been a safe GOP seat.
Edwards painted the race as a referendum on Vitter's char- acter and integrity and sug- gested the U.S. senator didn't measure up in such a competi- tion. Edwards focused on his West Point degree and military resume, and he pledged a bipar- tisan leadership style.
"The people have chosen hope over scorn, over negativity and over distrust of others," Ed- wards said in his victory speech, before leading a sec- ond-line parade with a jazz band through the French Quar- ter hotel ballroom.
In the final days, Vitter sought to rally Republican vot- ers by drawing policy distinc- tions with Edwards and making Syrian refugee resettle- ment an issue in the state cam- paign. But it apparently didn't work.
The rebuke from Louisiana voters will create an open Sen- ate seat for the 2016 election.
The healthy baby is doing okay. However the baby’s mother, Angelikque Sutton was murder by crazed Ashleigh Wade.
BRONX, NY -- Police say a 22-year-old woman, who was nearly 9 months pregnant was stabbed and killed by a child- hood friend. The baby cut from her womb is alive, but the sus- pect is now under arrest on a murder charge.
Ashleigh Wade told the world she was expecting a baby girl. The would-be father was so excited that he posted a sonogram picture on his pro- file, along with links to baby registries in Wade's name that listed a due date of November 16th.
Wade's landlord says there was no doubt that her tenant was expecting. However, it was, according to police sources, an elaborate ruse. Wade, they say, was never pregnant - 22- year-old Angelikque Sutton was.
On Saturday, Sutton's friends and family were left reeling by the sheer depravity of this grisly crime that left the young mother dead.
On Friday afternoon, Sut-
ton, who was eight and a half months pregnant, visited Wade at her Wakefield apart- ment, where police say Wade stabbed Sutton to death, and then carved her baby out of her stomach.
Police and paramedics en- countered a blood-soaked hor ror show, and rushed Sutton to the hospital. The baby sur- vived, but police could do noth- ing for Sutton.
Wade reportedly insisted to police that the baby was hers, and that she had given birth after stabbing Sutton in self- defense, but after the blood- bath, police found a different story.
Davon Warren grew up across the street from Sutton, and could not summon the words to describe the pain and the knowledge of the baby girl who will never know her mom.
Wade is now charged with second degree murder and manslaughter. She is currently in the psych ward at Elmhurst Hospital.
