You knew exactly how my brother was, and you shot and killed him,” Smith said in an interview with the local Fox affiliate.

Hundreds of people have donated more than $33,000 to help a Baltimore mother—who made national headlines last year for smacking her rioting teenage son—after that same son accidentally set the family’s home on fire last weekend. Toya Graham, who was widely praised as “mom of the year” after she was shown on television repeatedly whacking her son’s head and pulling him from a protest, cried this week as she spoke to a local news station about how the blaze displaced her struggling family.
Since first reported on Tuesday around 10:30 a.m. PDT, the Blue Cut fire has already engulfed 30,000 acres as of Wednesday morning, and it was expected to continue to spread. This out-of-control blaze follows a series of other devastating wildfires in California — most recently one in Lake County, Northern California — as a result of extremely low humidity, high temperatures and strong winds.
South Korea said Wednesday that North Korea's deputy ambassador to Britain had defected to Seoul, in a rare and damaging loss of diplomatic face for Pyongyang. The Unification Ministry said Thae Yong-Ho -- the number-two at the North's mission in London -- had defected together with his family and they were now in the South Korean capital. Jeong declined to reveal Thae's defection route, citing the diplomatic sensitivities involved for the concerned countries.

Vanderbilt University will soon strike the word "Confederate" from the name of one of its dorms, but chipping away at history comes with a big price tag. Per a 2005 court of appeals decision, the private college must shell out a hefty $1.2 million to the United Daughters of the Confederacy before chiseling the contentious word from Confederate Memorial Hall. The sum is today's equivalent of the $50,000 the Tennessee Division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy paid for naming rights and to help build the residence hall back in 1933.
The Navajo Nation sued the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on Tuesday, one year after 3 million gallons of toxic wastewater spilled into three states from an abandoned Colorado gold mine. In a court filing, the Navajo tribe alleged the EPA and other parties "recklessly" burrowed into the Gold King Mine in 2015, releasing waste into water upstream from the tribe's land. A year later, the waterways remain contaminated and the Navajo people have yet to be compensated, according to the complaint that also names EPA contractor Environmental Restoration, the Kinross Gold Corp and Sunnyside Gold Corp. "One of the Navajo people's most important sources of water for life and livelihood was poisoned with some of the worst contaminants known to man, including lead and arsenic," Navajo Nation said in the 48-page complaint filed in the U.S. District Court of New Mexico.
The 19-year-old college student who tried to bite a man’s face off after allegedly killing a married couple in Florida is now in stable condition after fighting for his life, according to authorities who continue to seek answers as to what prompted the vicious attack. Austin Harrouff, a Florida State University student, is now conscious but is unable to speak because he’s connected to a breathing tube, Trisha Kukuvka, a spokeswoman for the Martin County Sheriff’s Office told TIME on Wednesday. Authorities served a search warrant Tuesday to gather more blood, hair and DNA samples from Harrouff, who is accused of fatally stabbing and beating John Stevens, 59, and his 53-year-old wife Michelle Mishcon as the couple sat inside the garage Monday night.
