Cops Take S.C. Mass Shooter To Burger King Before Jail
Charleston shooting sus- pect Dylann Storm Roof got a free meal from police on his way to jail. They went to Burger King. After about 16 hours on the run, the admit- ted mass murderer com- plained to cops arresting him in Shelby, N.C., that he was hungry, so police got him food from the nearby fast food joint, according to an account of his arrest in The Charlotte Observer.“He was very quiet, very calm,” Shelby Police Of- ficer Jeff Ledford told the paper. “He sat down here very quietly. He was not problem- atic.”

Let The Cheater Go: Wife Dies In Chase
HOUSTON, TX -- Nancy Acosta, a mother of three, lost her life last Thursday, after chasing her husband, who was inside another vehicle with an- other woman.
In hot pursuit, Acosta crashed head-on into an on- coming vehicle and died at the scene.
According to local news re- ports Acosta side swiped the car carrying her estranged hus- band and his suspected girl- friend before losing control of her own vehicle and wielding uncontrollably into oncoming traffic.
The driver of a blue Honda CRV hit her car, and was hos- pitalized as a result. Mean- while, the husband and his girlfriend were unharmed.
“Spouse, ex-spouse getting into an argument or whatever and taking it out on the road- ways. It’s such sad situation,” said Deputy D. Wilkie, an
investigator with Harris County Constable’s Office Precinct 3. “She was reaching speeds pretty high,” said Wilkie. “Spinning around out of control and that’s when she got hit in the driver’s door.
Acosta’s friend says the woman’s husband would only come home to shower and eat, but he’d never help his wife with the children.
Roof, a 21-year-old high
school dropout from Colum- bia, was arrested the morning after the massacre at the his- toric Mother Emanuel AME Church, which left nine wor- shippers dead.
Cops caught him thanks to a tip from a florist who recog- nized his photo and even fol- lowed him for 35 miles. Once police pulled over his black Hyundai sedan on a highway, he nonchalantly lowered his window, handed over his ID and said, “I’m Dylann Roof,” the Observer re- ported.
His car had a Confederate States of America plate on its front and a .45-caliber hand- gun inside — the gun he got with birthday money from his parents. He said he was headed to Nashville because he had never been there be- fore.
