NEW YORK, NY - Law enforcement sources say a pair of male migrants stand accused of targeting a tourist in New York City’s Times Square on May 10.
The incident reportedly happened outside the Club Quarters Hotel on West 45th Street just before 2:30 a.m. The two men, whom the New York Post report said live in local migrant shelters, allegedly punched and kicked the victim who is a 44-year-old man from Indiana, the outlet reported Monday. The pair are also accused of taking the man’s wallet and cellphone before they fled the scene.
“The victim refused medical attention after the beatdown, cops said,” the Post article continued, adding that police are still searching for the suspects in the case.

FORT MYERS, Fla. – Graphic footage of the moment a bank hostage suspect is killed by SWAT sniper fire earlier this year was released by the Lee County Sheriff’s Office.
“This is exactly what we train for. We train for worst case scenario, we train for hostage negotiations and what that means is going from worst case to best scenario and this is a very unfortunate incident, but I will tell you the two hostages being safe was our top priority,” said Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno immediately after the deadly incident unfolded.
On Feb. 6, police said the suspect entered Fort Myers Bank of America at 13099 US Highway 41 S.E. Cleveland Ave around 11 a.m. ET, and was armed with a knife. Minutes later, Lee County Sheriff’s deputies and other law enforcement agencies were on scene. Click here to read more.

Her story reminds us "it's never too late." Even if you don't accomplish your goals in the timeframe you want, it doesn't mean you can't get there eventually.
For some of us, that graduation cap and gown are some of our first "uniforms" we put on in life. These symbols are known for acknowledging years of studying, tests, grades and classes. But for Cole, they recognize a lifetime of hard work. Click here to read more.
