WWE SmackDown Live Results

Stick around for live updates from tonight’s show. Refresh the page and find out…


Shane McMahon invites new WWE US Champ Chris Jericho to the ring

Like the sub-heading says, Shane O’Mac introduces the crowd to SmackDown Live‘s new WWE United States Champion Chris Jericho. McMahon announces Jericho against Kevin Owens for the U.S. title for later in the night

AJ Styles comes out next and reminds Jericho that he’s in AJ Style’s house. He calls Jericho “an old friend…who probably won’t even leave tonight as U.S. Champion.”

Jericho doesn’t seem fazed by AJ’s comments. I mean, did you see Y2J make KO TO (Tap Out) with the Wall of Jericho, maaannnnnn?


Kevin Owens comes out next. He runs his mouth like usual. Except this time, AJ isn’t going to take his sh*t. Styles runs down the ramp at KO and a brawl ensues. Even Shane O’Mac had to get in there to break it up.


Sami Zayn vs. Jinder Mahal

Sami comes out first. We see a clip from Talking Smack, where Baron Corbin basically kicks Zayn’s ass. Out next comes quite possibly the next WWE World Champion Jinder Mahal, alongside The Singh Brothers or The Bollywood Boys or whatever.

Both guys trade shots to start off the match. “Hard Body” Mahal is really throwing some serious hits on Sami. But Zayn regains ground before the commercial break, sending Mahal over the ropes besides his brethren. Sami is back on top.

As when we come break from the break, Mahal is clearly in control. He has Zayn trapped in a headlock. We see a clip from commercial break, in which Sami is on the ring apron, being distracted by the Singh Brother, and Mahal capitalizes.

Jinder is really whopping Sami’s ass and stomping it dry. He knocks him silly with an elbow and throws him around like a piece of trash. Mahal props Zayn on the top ropes for superplex, but The Underdog of the Underground reverse. Sami is just about to make a comeback, but eats a sick knee from Mahal.

Sami looks beaten, but he hasn’t given up. He comes back with a clothesline and takes the fight directly to Mahal. But then one Bollywood Boy distracts Sami. Mahal attempts a roll-up, which Sami reverses with his own roll-up. Kick out!

Zayn is solidly in control. He’s about to smack Mahal with a helluva kick. But a Bollywood Boy pulls out Jinder. Sami is about to run the ropes and hit Jinder, but a Singh (Bollywood) Brother grabs Sami’s leg. Mahal capitalizes, slithers into the ring, and hits Sami with his finisher.

Jinder Mahal defeats Sami Zayn


Can Becky Lynch be manipulated?


Dolph Ziggler talks trash about Shinsuke Nakamura

Ziggler doesn’t like how Nakamura is on the cover of Backlash. He says that Shinsuke hasn’t even had a match on SmackDown. He believes that the rookie star is undeserving of this honor. He doubts Shane O’Mac’s decision-making, who is standing right behind him. McMahon announces a match between the two stars at Backlash.


Aiden English vs. Tye Dillinger

Aiden English is showing off his classical theater singing voice. But then “10” Tye Dillinger comes out and interrupts his song. “The Rembrandt of Rage” Aiden English sneak-attacks Dillinger from behind. English gains the early advantage, but Tye quickly turns the turn. Dillinger pulls down his right knee pad and performs a modified GTS onto Aiden for the win.

Tye Dillinger defeats Aiden English

Post-match: Aiden is having a temper tantrum in the ring.


Chris Jericho interviewed with a crying Aiden English

Jericho is right in the middle of a backstage interview with a new attractive blonde interviewer. Aiden English passes by, crying. Y2J stop him from crying. He told him to be happy, he has a nice hairy chest, c’mon, mannnnnn. But you know what happens when tears stream from your eyes on Jericho’s new show? Y2J waits for it….You just made the list! SmackDown‘s newest backstage interviewer also made the list! If I’m not careful, I will end up on that list too.


Charlotte ambush

Charlotte Flair is being interview backstage. She’ll inevitably be champion again, but then…attack of the angry lady wrestlers! Natalya, Carmella and Tamina Snuka mop the floor with Charlotte. It’s an absolutely mugging. The tag team match is next. Can she compete after that vicious attack?


Naomi vs. Natalya & Carmella w/ Tamina Snuka & James Ellsworth

Carmella squares off against Naomi to start off the match. The Princess of Staten Island is taunting our SmackDown Women’s Champion. That’s not smart at all. Naomi starts kicking ass immediately. Her knocks are like a flurry of bullets. Carmella tags in Natalya, but that doesn’t make a difference. Ms. Glow mops the floor with her too. Can anything stop Naomi? Yes…Natalya smacking her head onto some steel stairs.

Natalya drags Naomi to the corner. She tags in Carmella, and they both double team the champion. Now, Carmella is in control on Naomi. The champ tries to battle back, but the Princess of Staten Island slams her to the mat with a hand full of hair.


Carmella makes the tag to Nattie, who slaps the taste right out of Naomi’s mouth. She stops out the champ into the corner. Nattie catapults Naomi across the ropes, attempts a clothesline, but instead, both women fall with a double flying crossbody.

But then…Charlotte is coming out! Oh sh*t! This takes guts. She’s hurt, but is still willing to compete. The Queen wants a tag. Nattie tries to prevent Naomi from making the tag, but too late! Charlotte comes in like a great ball of fire, knocking down both her opponents.


The Queen goes for a figure four, but Carmella breaks it up. Charlotte beats Nattie’s head in on the apron, but gets distracted by an intruding Carmella. ‘Mella gets knocked off the apron, Charlotte is clearly distracted, so Natalya capitalizes with a roaring forearm. Nattie lets out a victory cry as we go to commercial break.

We’re back from commercial and Carmella won’t get off Charlotte’s back (literally). The Queen takes in Naomi who dominates Carmella. But then one roll-up from the Princess of Staten Island is all you ever need.

Carmella & Natalya defeat Naomi & Charlotte Flair

Post-match: The bad girls beat up the crap outta Charlotte & Naomi. The crowd chants for “Becky,” and they get their wish. Lynch shakes everyone’s hands, except for Ellsworth, who she hugs instead. But then, Becky throws Ellsworth into the evil ladies. Lynch is kicking ass, but then big bad Tamina knocks her down. They all dissect Becky. Carmella ends the assault by kicking a prone Becky right in the face.


Sin Cara vs. Dolph Ziggler

Sin Cara really shined in this match. The highlight of this match saw Cara fly through the middle ropes onto Dolph outside the ring. I’m glad they’re making Sin Cara seem credible again.

But building up Dolph for Shinsuke is way too important. Better luck next time, Sin Cara. One stiff superkick to the cheek is all Ziggler needs to put away his opponent.

Dolph Ziggler defeats Sin Cara


WWE United States Championship match: Chris Jericho (c) vs. Kevin Owens (AJ Styles is banned from ringside)

Owens throws the first shows, but Jericho fires back with a dropkick. Owens needs a minute to take a breath, but Y2J won’t let up. Jericho targets those injured fingers of Owens. But KO soon turns the tide once again.

Jericho nails another drop kick. Y2J brings Owens to the corner, but KO moves, and Y2J falls out of the ring. Owens capitalizes with a cannonball into the barricade.

Back from the break, and each man counters their finishes. Jericho stops a pop-up powerbomb and KO puts the knees up to Y2J’s lionsault.

Owens is just too vicious for Jericho to handle. Superkick after superkick stun Jericho. Y2J baseball slides to the outside and eats another super kick for his troubles. Owens then drops Jericho on the concrete with a sick DDT.

KO attempts another super kick in the ring, but Jericho kicks out. Owens lays out Jericho with a pop-up powerbomb for the win.

Kevin Owens defeats Chris Jericho to become the new WWE United States Champion

Post-match: Owens brutally assaults Jericho after the match. He gives Y2J another pop-up powerbomb. He’s going to lay Y2J out with yet another devastating pop-up powerbomb, but Y2J crumbles under his own weight. Owens says, “You were never my best friend!”

EMTs assist an injured Jericho. But then Owens comes back for more violence. He brings Jericho out of the ring, wraps a steel chair around his neck and then runs him into the steel post. Absolutely sick!

Jessica Galyon Photos: Must-See Pictures Of Tennessee Janitor

Jessica Gaylon, a 29-year-old female janitor at Midway High School in Tennessee, was arrested in February on charges that she took a 16-year-old boy into a school room and raped him. Now, the boy’s family are seeking $4.5 million from the school.

What Happened?

Gaylon allegedly sexually assaulted a 16-year-old student at Midway High School during school hours. The student’s family want $4.5 million in a lawsuit against the school district and the contractor that employed Gaylon as a janitor.

The suit alleges that the school and the company were “negligent” in allowing the attack to take place. The suit alleges that the student dropped out of school as a result of the attack.

According to court papers, Gaylon pursued the boy after meeting him in August and asking for his number. She even requested to “friend” him on Facebook.

Soon after, she began sending the student “flirtatious and sexual messages” even after the boy told her to stop, the suit claims.

She is said to have invited the boy to a hotel room, but he refused.

The suit goes on to say that when the boy confronted Gaylon, she took him into a room and raped him during school hours.

“This was the first ever sexual encounter of any kind that (the boy) had ever had in his life,” the lawsuit said.

A month after the alleged rape, school supervisors were notified by a faculty member. Gaylon was arrested on charges of sexual battery by an authority figured, aggravated statutory rape and statutory rape by an authority figure.


Midway High School

Midway High School is located at 530 Loudon Hwy, Kingston, TN 37763.

Florida Woman Arrested After Agreeing To Trade Sex For McNuggets

Florida police have arrested and charged 22-year-old Alex Direeno with prostitution after she agreed to perform a sex act on an undercover detective for $25 and chicken McNuggets from McDonald’s.

According to the Miami Herald , Direeno was being held without bond at the Manatee County Jail on charges of prostitution, possession of drug paraphernalia, and on outstanding warrants.

Arrest records show that the incident happened last week. Direeno was being held at the Manatee County jail on bonds totaling $620.

Via Miami Herald:

Direeno walked out of the Marathon gas station in Bradenton and unknowingly waved at an undercover detective with the sheriff’s office Special Investigations Division who was talking to another woman, according to an arrest report. The detective told the other woman he was there to pick up Direeno, and Direeno got into his car.

As the undercover detective drove north on 14th Street West, he told her that he wanted oral sex and she agreed to do it for $25. As they briefly went back and forth on the price, she finally agreed to perform the act for $25 and Chicken McNuggets.

In March, Direeno was placed on probation for three years after pleading guilty to grand theft auto and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Kanye Reportedly Didn’t Go To The Met Gala ‘Cause He’s Mad Everyone Saw Kim’s Un-Airbrushed Ass

The Met Gala was Monday night and all of American’s biggest actors, musicians, models, and athletes were in attendance.

However, one fashion ‘icon’ was noticeably absent from the renowned fashion event. Kayne West.

Normally, whenever there’s a chance for Kanye to dress ridiculously and pose with Kim, he takes full advantages. However, this year, Kanye was nowhere to be found as Kim was seen walking the red carpet alone.

So, why did Kanye skip out? Maybe he was on tour. Or maybe he didn’t have anything to where. Or maybe he wanted to just stay in with his kids.

But nope, none of that. No, apparently Kanye was upset that the world had gotten a glimpse at un-airbrushed photos of his wife’s shockingly extraterrestrial ass.

Via The Sun:

Kanye is angry with wife Kim, 36, and sister Kourtney, 38, for turning their Mexican break into a fashion parade, which their friends are now dubbing “bumgate”.

A friend of the couple said: “Kanye has helped turned Kim into a fashion icon and he feels those pictures with Kourtney have made her look cheap, damaging her brand.

“He’s angry with Kourtney for seemingly leading her on, as she clearly revelled in turning their session into a photoshoot.”

“Their behavior completely detracted from Kim’s current standing in the industry.”

Leave it to Kanye to date a woman who’s famous for a sex tape but then get mad at her when she shows off her ass to the world. Do you, Kanye.

The First Official Trailer For ‘The Dark Tower’ Is Finally Here

0
0

After years of casting rumors, production problems, delays, and rescheduled release dates, The Dark Tower is finally on its way, and its first official trailer is finally here.

The first trailer for Stephen King’s seminal work lays out the plot for those who aren’t familiar with the source material. Fans are introduced to another world, a tower, the Man in Black, and the Gunslinger.

The Gunslinger, Roland Deschand (Idris Elba) is a knight from the other world who is trying to stop The Man in Black (Mathew McConaughey) from destroying the Dark Tower. Should the Man in Black succeed in destroying the Dark Tower, it would unleash hell onto both worlds.

Pretty straightforward stuff, but we aren’t in it for the plot, are we? No, we’re in it for two of the best actors in the game kicking the shit out of each other in a fantasy world.

Here’s the first official synopsis for The Dark Tower:

There are other worlds than these. Stephen King’s The Dark Tower, the ambitious and expansive story from one of the world’s most celebrated authors, makes its launch to the big screen. The last Gunslinger, Roland Deschain (Idris Elba), has been locked in an eternal battle with Walter O’Dim, also known as the Man in Black (Matthew McConaughey), determined to prevent him from toppling the Dark Tower, which holds the universe together. With the fate of the worlds at stake, good and evil will collide in the ultimate battle as only Roland can defend the Tower from the Man in Black.

Based on the first trailer, you can color me hyped.

The Dark Tower will hit theaters on August 4, 2017.

Colorado Teacher Put On Leave After Taping Student’s Mouth Shut

A Colorado middle school teacher has been placed on leave after allegedly taping one of her eighth-grade students’ mouth shut.

Cherry Creek School District officials say the incident happened during a science class last week on Wednesday, April 26 at Campus Middle School. The student’s mouth was either taped shut by the teacher herself or a fellow student who was given permission to do so.

Tustin Amole, a spokeswoman for the Cherry Creek School District, said that the unidentified teacher was placed on administrative leave until the investigation is complete.

“As soon as we learned of the allegations, we notified the Greenwood Village Police Department,” Amole said.

Amole also said that the CCSD district notified the student’s parents, who she said were unaware of the incident.

“We are continuing to investigate, as we have received conflicting reports of what happened. The incident is deeply troubling and does not reflect the values of the Cherry Creek School District. We are committed to ensuring that our schools provide a safe and caring environment for all students,” Amole said.

The school district released a full statement on the incident:

“On Monday, May 1, the Cherry Creek School District learned of allegations that a teacher at Campus Middle School taped the mouth of a student, or allowed others to do so, during class on Wednesday, April 26th. As soon as we learned of the allegations, we notified the Greenwood Village Police Department and the student’s parents who were unaware of the incident. We are continuing to investigate, as we have received conflicting reports of what happened. The teacher has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation. The incident is deeply troubling and does not reflect the values of the Cherry Creek School District. We are committed to ensuring that our schools provide a safe and caring environment for all students.”

The teacher has yet to be identified.

The First Epic Trailer For Marvel’s ‘The Defenders’ Is Here

0
0

Marvel and Netflix, continuing their trend of dominating the movie and television landscape, just dropped the first trailer for The Defenders and of course, it looks f*cking fantastic.

Bringing together New York City’s ‘ground level’ superheroes, The Defenders are essentially The Avengers… if they were real people with real lives and not walking mascots like Captain America.

The ‘limited series’ (which is crazy, because we all know there will be more seasons) stars Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock/Daredevil, Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones, Mike Colter as Luke Cage, and Finn Jones as Danny Rand/Iron Fist, all reprising their roles from their individual Netflix series. While DaredevilJessica Jones, and Luke Cage were all positively reviewed, Iron Fist, the most recent of Netflix’s and Marvel’s collaboration, was almost universally jeered, leaving a bad taste in the mouths of some fans.

However, this trailer should wash away all those bitter feelings because this show is clearly going to kick some ass. Bringing together the best elements of the four individual shows, The Defenders promises to deliver a superhero experience unlike one we’ve ever seen.

Or at the very least, it won’t end with Iron Man and Captain American stopping an alien race from opening a hole in the sky.

Here is the first official trailer for Marvel’s The Defenders:

“Marvel’s The Defenders follows Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist. A quartet of singular heroes with one common goal – to save New York City. This is the story of four solitary figures, burdened with their own personal challenges, who realize they just might be stronger when teamed together.”

The Defenders will be released on Netflix on August 18, 2017.

New Mexico High School Teacher Trying To Be Walter White Gets Busted For Cooking Crystal Meth

John Gose

Las Cruces Police Department

John W. Gose, a 56-year-hold high school science teacher in New Mexico, may be a big Breaking Bad fan. The teacher has pleaded guilty to cooking up crystal meth in an eerily similar case to the hit AMC TV show.

What Happened?

Gose has plead guilty to four counts relating to the manufacture and trafficking of meth amphetamine at Las Cruces courthouse in New Mexico. He was arrested following a traffic stop in which officers noticed suspicious equipment in his vehicle.

Gose has been a science teacher at Irvin High School in El Paso, Texas, for eight and a half years. He also taught in Onate High School and with Las Cruces Public Schools.

Las Cruces Police Department arrested Gose during a traffic stop on October 2, 2016, according to Dona Ana County District Attorney Mark D’Antonio.

In his car, the officer found a white, Styrofoam ice chest containing glassware, rubber tubing and chemicals. Following a forensic examination of the equipment, authorities determined Gose could use the materials to manufacture crystal meth. New Mexico State police later found further chemicals and supplies at his home during a raid.

One estimation of the chemicals and materials suggested Gose could have produced up to one pound of the drug which has a street value of $44,800.

In a statement, D’Antonio said: “That the defendant in this case chose to plead guilty to all of the charges is a testament to the strength of the investigation.

“Thanks to the hard work of the Las Cruces Police Department, the New Mexico State Police and the prosecutors in this office, we are able to close the books on this case of life imitating art while saving the taxpayers of New Mexico the cost of a jury trial.”

Prosecutors said Gose is facing a possible jail term of 20 years and six months. He has been ordered to undergo a 6-day “diagnostic evaluation” by the New Mexico Department of Corrections.


Breaking Bad

The hit TV show on AMC featured Bryan Cranston playing New Mexico high school chemistry teacher Walter White who begins manufacturing crystal meth after he is diagnosed with cancer  to earn extra money for his family. The series was universally praised by fans and critics alike during its five-season run from 2008-2013.


Guy Involved In Crazy ANA Plane Brawl Says Other Dude May Have ‘PTSD’

Ryan Humphreys

Ryan Humphreys has been identified as the passenger who got into a fight on an All Nippon Airways flight from Japan to Los Angeles on Monday night. The retired Marine who fought the “rambling” passenger said the man may have been suffering from post traumatic stress disorder.

What Happened?

The brawl was caught recorded and posted by Twitter user @CoreyHour, but later taken down. The video showed two men on the stationary plane at Narita International Airport throwing punches at each other from their seats.

Humphreys said the fight started when the man, who he believed to be an active or retired military member, began “rambling” to other passengers and “smothering” the woman sitting next to him as he leaned over to talk to her partner.

“I would guess he has PTSD or maybe off his meds,” Humphreys, who now works for the US Department of Defense in Okinawa, told TMZ. “He didn’t strike me as being a drunk.”

The other passenger was removed from the plane in Tokyo and was later arrested for allegedly putting an airline employee into a chokehold. Humphreys chose not to press charges against the man, but has explained his side of the story.

“The guy in front of me – the guy in the red shirt – just starts rambling on. It sounded like he was talking to everybody.

“I’m looking around to see if anyone is listening to this guy. Like no one is. He gets up out of his seat and he starts looking around. He turns around and looks at me and naturally I’m looking straight forward.

“I didn’t say anything to the guy, and he’s just like, ‘What are you looking at,’ you know, ‘I’ll kill you,’ blah, blah, blah.

“I’m just like, ‘Hey, it’s OK, it’s OK,’ and asked me if I lived in Vegas, so he has something to do with Vegas, I don’t know.

“The couple sits down next to the guy. It’s a three-seat row, he’s on the window, the girl is in the middle and then her husband or boyfriend. Next thing you know, he’s leaning over and he’s up all in the girl’s face and he’s rambling, kind of what he was doing with me.

“And he starts to get physical with the man. It looked like he was trying to choke him out with a headlock with his hands. He’s like smothering the woman because she’s in the middle. That’s when I intervened.

“He was either active military or a veteran. When his shirt got ripped I could see all his ink or whatever – I’m ex-Marine.

“I would guess he has PTSD or maybe off his meds. He didn’t strike me as being a drunk.”

Passengers can be heard in the background begging the two to “please stop” and one person shouted, “Someone help! This guy is crazy.”

When the braw appeared to be over, the man in the red shirt charged back down the aisle and again attacked Humphreys.

Japan Today reported that the 44-year-old American was charged with assault after he allegedly choked an ANA employee on a plane on Monday night.

“The suspect, a US citizen, was drunk and arrested after he injured an ANA official following the fight,” a member of the airport police told AFP.

Ryan Humphreys is a retired Marine who now works for the US Department of Defense in Okinawa. He was seen in a video taken on board an ANA flight brawling with a man who he said may have PTSD.

Uncensored Footage Of KG, Sheed & Big Ben Reacting To Garnett Getting Into A Fight Is A Must-Watch

0
0

I love how Turner Sports doubled down on the built-in unpredictability of Inside The NBA by giving none other than the notoriously outspoken Kevin Garnett his own spin-off called Area 21.

At first, Garnett was a little shaky and awkward behind the camera, making Area 21 somewhat of a difficult watch, but now that he and the rest of his buddies have become more comfortable, it’s developing into a sort-of Inside The NBA ‘after dark’ kind of vibes.

Last night, KG had Rasheed Wallace, maybe the only NBA player to have a bigger mouth than Garnett (also, someone hire my dude Sheed a stylist ’cause goddamn he looks broke), and four-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year Big Ben Wallace on Area 21, and luckily for us, the cameras were rolling in between takes.

While on commercial break or whatever, KG, Sheed, and Big Ben were watching old footage of Garnett getting into a scuffle. Unsurprisingly, the trio was slinging F-bombs and N-bombs all over the set and it makes for a hilarious minute-long clip.

I get that there’s more talent in the NBA now than there ever has been, but there are few dudes like these guys in the league anymore. I’d love to see what Steph Curry or KD would do if they got stepped to by one of these three.

Actually, now that I’m thinking about it — seeing the ’04 Pistons or the ’08 Celtics take on these Warriors would be maybe the greatest seven game series of all time. Just a thought.

Former NBA All-Star guard and current coach of Nathan Hale High School in Seattle, Brandon Roy, is recovering after being injured during a shooting this past weekend in Los Angeles. According to USA Today’s Sam Amick, Roy was shot in the leg while shielding some kids outside of his grandmother’s house.

What Happened?

Roy, 32, is expected to make a full recovery after being shot in the leg while protecting kids outside of grandmother’s house in Los Angeles over the weekend.

“Like many others, we’re just learning of the injury suffered by former Trail Blazers player Brandon Roy in a shooting over the weekend in California,” the Trail Blazers said in a statement. “According to those reports, Brandon was wounded as a bystander but is expected to recover. Our thoughts and prayers are with Brandon and his family during this time.”

According to KING-TV, Roy was treated in Southern California before returning to Washington State.

As of now, no further details of the shooting are known.


Brandon Roy

Roy played five seasons in Portland before retiring in 2011 because of ongoing trouble with his knees. He attempted a comeback in 2012 and appeared in five regular-season games for the Minnesota Timberwolves, before undergoing another knee surgery. He was released in March 2013.

In his six seasons, Roy was named Rookie of the Year in 2007 and was a three-time All-Star (2008-2010). In 2009, he was named All-NBA Second Team and in 2010 he was named All-NBA Third Team.

Roy took over Nathan Hale’s boys’ basketball program in 2016 and was named the Naismith National High School Coach of the Year after leading his team to an undefeated (29-0) record during the regular season.

Roy Oliver Officer

Officer Roy Oliver has been identified as the cop who fatally shot 15-year-old Jordan Edwards in the head Saturday night as he left a house party. Authorities are investigating what led Oliver, who was fired, to shoot Edwards as he was sitting in the passenger seat of a moving car.

What Happened?

Oliver, who joined the police force in 2011, fatally shot Edwards as he was sitting in the passenger seat of a moving vehicle on Saturday night. Police had received a call about underage drinking and rowdy teenager at a house party. However, Edwards and his friends were not the source of the original call.

The Dallas County District Attorney’s Office will determine whether charges should be brought against Oliver. He was fired on Tuesday. The incident, which is receiving national media attention, is being investigated by the Dallas County Sheriff’s Office.

Balch Springs Police Chief Jonathan Haber said at a Tuesday news conference that Oliver had violated the department policy, though he did not explain which policies he was referring to or how Oliver violated them.

Oliver has six days to appeal the decision.

Attorney Cindy Stormer, who is representing Oliver, declined to comment to the Dallas Morning News as the investigation is ongoing.

“The incident is recent and still being investigated,” she said. “Everyone should wait until the facts come out and we know more.”

Haber would not disclose whether or not Oliver had previous disciplinary actions.

Video from Oliver’s body camera has not been released.

Edwards’ family has called for Oliver to be charged with murder for the shooting, which was witnessed by two of the teen’s brothers.

At first, Balch Springs police said the car carrying Edwards was aggressively moving in reverse toward police. But on Monday, Haber reversed course and said, after reviewing video, the car was driving away from police.


Roy Oliver

Roy Oliver is the Balch Springs police officer who fatally shot 15-year-old Jordan Edwards in the head as he was leaving a house party on Saturday night. Edwards was in the passenger seat of a moving car when Oliver fired at him. It is not yet clear why the shooting took place.

Oliver joined the police force in 2011. Before that, he was in the U.S. Army and served in Iraw, according to friends.

The incident is being investigated by the Dallas County Sherrif’s Office and charges against Oliver may or may not be forthcoming. He was fired on Tuesday.

Henderson County deputies said North Henderson High School was placed on precautionary lockdown after a bomb threat appeared on social media Wednesday.

According to police, no students are currently in danger and a suspect was brought into custody. Deputies and school officials are conducting a precautionary sweep of North Henderson High School to ensure safety and said the lockdown will be lifted once the sweep is complete.

No other details were provided at this time.

Henderson County Public Schools released a statement about the incident on Facebook:

Earlier this morning, North Henderson High received a bomb threat made through social media.

At Least Two Dead, 13 Injured In Lynnway Auto Auction Crash

Three people were killed and more than a dozen people seriously hurt when a Jeep Cherokee sped through a crowded auto auction in Billerica Wednesday morning. It happened just after 10 a.m. on Charter Way at Lynnway Auto Auction.

What Happened?

At least three people were killed Wednesday when an SUV apparently careened through a large auto auction facility in Billerica, according to a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation.

Multiple people were injured. Six people were taken to Lahey Hospital and Medical Center, a hospital spokeswoman said. Their conditions were not released.

The crash took place at the Lynnway Auto Auction, where a vehicle slammed into an exterior wall around 10:15 a.m., roughly 90 minutes after an auction was scheduled to begin.

“This is a horrible accident,’’ said Burlington Fire Chief Thomas Conway.

Woody Tuttle, an auto auction employee, said the driver of the Jeep tried to avoid hitting other vehicles when it struck several people who were standing between one of the facility’s eight lanes.

“I heard a screeching of tires, and, I believe, a Jeep Cherokee went flying by me. In avoiding the cars, whoever was driving this vehicle hit several people,” Tuttle said.

The Jeep then continued though the side of the building.

“(The driver) avoided the cars, and went on to hit the people who were standing between the cars,” Tuttle said. “Three (men) were on the ground being tended to. There was a woman who was crying, but she was standing up, and I saw two men on the ground who appeared to be dead.”

Randy Miller, an auction attendee, said the vehicle seemed to be traveling around 40 mph.

“We heard a bang or an explosion. It was almost like a bomb. The whole place just went silent,” Miller said. “There were people just lying on the ground — a horrific, crazy, tragic situation.”

Police do not believe the crash was intentional at this time.

“At this point, there is no evidence or information to suggest the incident was caused by an intentional or terrorist act,’’ State Police said in a statement. “All evidence and information at this time suggests an accidental cause.”

According to WBZ-TV’s Christina Hager, the driver of the Jeep was taken away in an ambulance.

Massachusetts State Police have a crash reconstruction team and detectives on the scene to assist Billerica Police.

There will be a 1:00 P.M. news conference on the crash, according to officials.


Lynnway Auto Auction

The Lynnway Auto Auction is the largest vehicle auction in the New England area, serving Massachusetts, Vermont, Connecticut, Maine and Rhode Island. It has been a dealer consignment auction since 1997.


Adam Jones Net Worth 2017: How Much Is Adam Worth Now?

0

A consummate athlete on and off the field, center fielder Adam Jones has made a living at being an inspirational sports icon. While Jones played with the Seattle Mariners initially, he has made a name for himself as a tremendously vital leader to the Baltimore Orioles. With his versatile skill set and impressive intangibles, Jones has made a great living as a memorable baseball player, but how much is the beloved superstar actually worth?

Adam Jones’ Net Worth as of 2017: $105 Million

How did Adam Jones get there? And how was Jones able to accumulate this much wealth through his performances on the field? Let’s take a closer look.


2006 – 2012

Given his versatility growing up as an exceptional football, basketball, and baseball player, it was no surprise that both baseball experts and Jones’ initial team (Seattle Mariners) were undecided on whether he should play the field or pitch. Ultimately, Jones wanted to be an everyday player in the field so the Mariners made Jones a shortstop of their rookie league affiliate. While Jones spent several years as a minor league shortstop, the Mariners eventually asked Jones if he would move to the outfield, which he readily agreed to do.

After three years in the minor leagues, Jones was called up by the Mariners on July 14, 2006. Jones replaced corner outfielder Shin-Soo Choo, whose performance at the position was less than impressive. Although Jones struggled at the plate initially (went 0-12 at the plate) he eventually got his first hit against the New York Yankees four days later. Despite being a solid hitter, Jones, along with several minor league players, were traded to the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for starting pitcher Erik Bedard. The trade took place on February 8, 2008

Nearly six months later, Jones became just the second player to hit a triple and a grand slam in the same game as a visitor of Yankee Stadium. In his first year with the Orioles, Jones excelled as a hitter, base stealer, and defender (.270 BA, 9 HR’s, 57 RBIs, and 10 stolen bases).

During the 2009 season, Jones continued to improve as both a contact hitter and vigilant defender. As a result of his impressive consistency, Jones was selected to attend his first All-Star game. Although Jones sprained his ankle in August and missed the rest of the season, it was undeniable the impact Jones had as a respected leader and as a proficient baseball player. Aside from increasing all of his offensive numbers, Jones tied for fifth among major league center fielders for most outfield assists at nine. Jones’ defensive prowess was eventually rewarded in November when he won the Golden Glove Award.

Year after year, Jones continued to step up his game on both offense and defense. Although the Orioles were still struggling as a team in 2010, Jones again improved his batting average from last year (.284 BA) along with 19 home runs and 69 RBIs. More importantly, Jones continued to make a name for himself as a defensive asset as he was second in the majors with 12 outfield assists.

Statistically speaking, 2011 was a year to remember for Jones. He set career highs in home runs (25), RBIs (83), Stolen bases (12) and slugging percentage (.466).

The 2012 season was a year that both Adam Jones and the Orioles fanbase remember as a year to rejoice. Not only did Jones sign a massive six-year extension worth $85.5 million, the Orioles finally made the playoffs for the first time in 15 years. During the season, Jones set career highs in home runs (32), runs scored (103), stolen bases (16), batting average (.287), and slugging percentage (.505).


2013 – 2015

Before the start of the 2013 season, Jones was selected to participate in the 2013 World Baseball Classic by the United States national team. Offensively, Jones was simply electrifying to watch as he knocked in 108 RBIs and 33 home runs during the regular season. Although Jones had a sub-par on-base percentage of .318 and the Orioles missed the playoffs, it was once again a testament to Jones’ continuing commitment to being the best player he could be.

Finally, after being an ample contributor to the Baltimore Orioles for several years, Jones was rewarded for his efforts by his team making the playoffs and going to the ALCS. Although the Orioles were ultimately swept by the Kansas City Royals, it was immensely rewarding to witness Jones and the Orioles make a serious push to becoming a legitimate World Series contender.

2015 proved to be somewhat of a down year for both the Orioles and Jones. While he made his fifth All-Star game, the Orioles finished with a record of 81-81 and Jones only played in 137 games, his lowest total since 2009.


2016 – Present

While Jones struggled initially during the 2016 season after hitting just .224 in April, manager Buck Showalter made an intriguing move by allowing Jones to hit first in the lineup. The week after the move, Jones garnered 13 hits, four home runs, nine RBIs and hit a .520 batting average. Jones also passed Brady Anderson for sixth all-time on the home run list for the Orioles at 210.

Thus far during the 2017 season, Jones has continued to be the reliable player that he has been since he joined the Orioles. His batting average currently stands at .284 and he also has a solid on-base percentage of .342

While it is hard to be consistently great in any sport, to excel in baseball over the course of a 162-game season is particularly arduous. However, Adam Jones has made it look routine in terms of maintaining his concentration at the plate while being aggressive in the outfield. Even when he has been off his game, his supreme confidence and natural talent as an athlete have allowed him to overcome adversity more effectively than most. If Jones can maintain his unbreakable mentality, a World Series championship seems inevitable.

The Old Lady heads to France as Juventus takes on Monaco in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final matchup.

Juventus, who have made the semis for the second time in three seasons, is looking to win their first Champions League title since 1996. Juventus, to the surprise of some, reached the semis by defeating Porto in the round of 16 and absolutely wiping the floor with Barcelona in the quarterfinals.

As for the upstart Monaco, they shocked both Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund to reach this stage, and are looking to reach the UCL final for the first time since 2004.

Juventus has a little extra motivation, as the only trophy that their legendary goalkeeper lacks is a Champions League trophy. While Monaco has scored a staggering 95 goals in 34 league games so far this season, they’ve yet to come up against a team as defensively sound and experienced as Juventus, as they have not conceded a goal for 531 minutes, the longest current run in the Champions League.

Body Cam Footage Shows Moment Heroic Topeka Police Officer Saves Autistic Boy From Drowning

Newly released footage shows the incredible moment a Topeka, Kansas police officer saved a drowning autistic boy from a park pond after watching him fall into the water.

Officer Aaron Bulmer of the Topeka Police Department was responding to reports of an armed robbery when he saw the boy walking alone towards the town of Topeka’s Central Park on Sunday, April 30.

Bulmer immediately got out of his patrol cruiser and was walking towards the child when he suddenly fell into the water.

Via CJ Online:

Bulmer wasted no time, diving into the cold water and reaching the child in a matter of seconds. Bulmer then got the child to shore and notified dispatchers of what had just happened, calling for an ambulance.

Bulmer would later find out that the boy was 4 years old and had autism. He apparently had walked to the park from his parents’ home about two blocks away. Police officials said his parents had been looking for him but hadn’t been able to find him.

After Bulmer got him out the water, the child — who stood about 30 inches tall — was taken by American Medical Response ambulance to a Topeka hospital and was reported to be doing well later in the day.

The boy was taken to a local hospital to be looked over by doctors. One of the boy’s parents, who had already been looking for him, was located and brought to the hospital. The boy was not injured.

As for Bulmer, he gives all the glory to God:

“I believe that God put me into that situation,” Bulmer said. “He allowed me to be in the right place at the right time.

“I believe that he directed me away from the call I was on to make sure that I found that child. That’s really been hitting me today — that God put me in that situation.”

According to Topeka police Lt. Colleen Stuart, it is common for children who are diagnosed with autism to be attracted to water.

Bulmer believes that had he been 30 seconds or a minute later, the unidentified boy would have drowned.

New Biography Alleges Obama Almost Pursued Gay Relationship With Professor Lawrence Goldyn

In the new biography ‘Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama’, Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer David Garrow discusses the close relationship Obama had with assistant professor Lawrence Goldyn, even going as far to say the 44th President considered an openly gay relationship with the teacher.

Writing about the former president’s two years at Occidental College in Los Angeles, author David J. Garrow disclose

‘Goldyn made a huge impact on Barry Obama,’ Garrow says. ‘Almost a quarter century later, asked about his understanding of gay issues, Obama enthusiastically said, “my favorite professor my first year in college was one of the first openly gay people that I knew…He was a terrific guy.” with whom Obama developed a ‘friendship beyond the classroom.’

According to the biography, it was during the winter of 1980 when Obama took a political science course at Occidental College taught by Goldwyn. Goldwyn, an openly gay professor, was a 1973 graduate of Reed College in Oregon with a PhD from Stanford. Goldwyn retrained as a doctor and is now an HIV specialist in Mendocino, California.

A student at Occidental College said that to say that Goldwyn was out ‘would be an understatement’. ‘Obama wrote somewhat elusively to his first intimate girlfriend that he had thought about and considered gayness but ultimately decided that a same-sex relationship would be less challenging and demanding than developing one with the opposite sex,’ Garrow writes.

President Obama has spoken highly of Goldwyn in the past. In 2009, when asked who most profoundly influenced his ideas about gays and lesbians, Obama first named his mother, and then said the second was Lawrence Goldyn.

‘He was a wonderful guy,’ Obama said. ‘He was the first openly gay professor that I had ever come in contact with, or openly gay person of authority that I had come in contact with.

‘And he was just a terrific guy. He wasn’t proselytizing all the time, but just his comfort in his own skin and the friendship we developed helped to educate me on a number of these issues.’Garrow, an author who won a Pulitzer Prize-winning biography about Martin Luther King Jr., is a contributor to The New York Times and The Washington Post.

Furthermore, the 1,078-page biography, which the most comprehensive work ever on Obama, also details Obama’s various relationships with college girlfriends. The biography alleges that slept with his girlfriend Genevieve Cook after the first date and that they did both marijuana and cocaine during the course of their relationship. It is also alleged that Obama asked another woman to marry him, as well as continued a relationship with her while dating Michelle, his future wife.

‘Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama’ is set to be released on May 9.
