The gunman fled, but a 51-year-old suspect was detained some 170 miles away in suburban Kansas City three hours after the shooting, Wichita Deputy Police Chief Tom Stolz said.

The name kind of makes your lip curl. And when you pop the lid, it smells like a doctor’s office did years ago – lots of alcohol, a touch of camphor. But the light green liquid developed by a Boise High School chemistry teacher is getting an army of converts who say the product helps with everything from athlete’s foot to jock itch to acne. “I also clean my glasses with it in a pinch,” said Mary Baxter, 66, of Marsing, a customer. Royce Garner created Toe Juice four decades ago when one of his children, who were then babies, developed athlete’s foot.

Female gangbangers duking it out in quicky mart parking lot get shot. Two dead two wounded.
Two women are dead and two others injured after a man opened fire early Sunday in the parking lot of a Phoenix convenience store after a brawl between one of the victims and another woman. Police think the confrontation may have been gang-related. One of the wounded victims, 29, was shot in the chest and was in surgery Sunday morning. The other, also 29, was grazed by a bullet in the abdomen. Police have not released the names of any of the victims pending family notifications. Police are still searching for the suspects, two men and a woman.
What Susan wanted was simple: She wanted her husband to come home from Iraq and she wanted breast implants. She couldn’t do much about the war — but the bigger breasts she couldn’t afford? She got them for free. Susan spent months in front of her computer on MyFreeImplants.com, a Web site where women who want breast augmentation can connect with “benefactors” willing to contribute to the cause, sometimes a dollar at a time.
