LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — A second suspect has been arrested in the fatal shooting of an Italian tourist in Arkansas.

Woman found dead in Regency apartment

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A woman in her mid to late 50s was found dead in her home at the Woodcreek at Regency Square Apartments on Wednesday afternoon after she didn't show up for work, according to Jacksonville police. Police said the woman's co-workers went to the apartment on Monument Road to check on her and found her dead. They called police, who arrived around 1:30 p.m. Police said the woman's son is being questioned and is a person of interest in her death. Investigators said he was found sitting outside the apartment when officers arrived.

Residents of the complex described it as a quiet place to live and said they're rattled by the woman's death. Bu...

Check out the NYC sites featured in Netflix’s ‘Defenders’

Image
The working title was fittingly “Group Therapy.” Perhaps in a bid to throw rabid superhero fans off the trail, signs posted on streets denoting work on Marvel’s latest series, “The Defenders,” carried the fake moniker. The series, which was shot last winter and debuted Friday on Netflix, unites all of the heroes from the platform’s existing Marvel shows into one superteam. And in true Marvel fashion , the teammates do not always get along, occasionally bickering like Washington politicians — hence the winking “Group Therapy” title. Through the eight episodes, Luke Cage (Mike Colter), Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter), Iron Fist (Finn Jones) and Daredevil (Charlie Cox) do cooperate long enough to take on a villainous group menacing New York City: the mystical ninja order known as the Hand, led by Sigourney Weaver. As with previous Marvel shows , New York is front and center. Jeph Loeb, head of Marvel television, has said that the city is so important to the atmosphere of the shows, it...

How to rent your home out on Airbnb

Image
Thinking of taking in paying guests? Three veteran Vancouver hosts share tricks of the trade Emily Plommer knew from her own experience staying at Airbnbs that it was frustrating to rent an apartment with a full kitchen and discover that there wasn’t so much as a salt shaker or bottle of cooking oil in the cupboards. So when Plommer, an avid traveller and then 26-year-old women’s studies grad, decided to make a living through hosting two years ago, she made sure the rental suite in her house in Vancouver’s Strathcona neighbourhood was well provisioned. Pots and pans and utensils. Basic cooking supplies , like oil and some spices. Milk and cereal. Coffee beans. Fresh fruit. Eggs. Then she found that she was making a lot of banana bread with the leftover, disintegrating fruit or eating the cereal herself. “It was funny how people would book a place like this and then eat nothing at home,” Plommer says. “In the end, I just asked, ‘Will you be eating breakfast here?’ before leaving things...

Image
SILVER SPRING, Md. - Just over year after the apartment explosion in Silver Spring, the National Transportation and Safety Board opened its public docket. The cause of the explosion remains undetermined , but the report does reveal new information from the investigation. According to the report, a vent pipe was disconnected in the basement where gas built up prior to the explosion, thus dismantling a safety feature in the meter room. When and why this happened is still unknown. Pending tests will further explore this. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) said the explosion happened first, then the fire, not vice versa.

Zimmer says Vikings want to keep 3 QBs on active roster - Story

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) -- As long as Sam Bradford stays healthy this season, the Minnesota Vikings won 't be worried about their quarterback situation. There's a lot of uncertainty behind Bradford on the depth chart, though. Teddy Bridgewater remains immersed in his rehabilitation program, of course, trying to push his knee back into playing shape. He's on the physically unable to perform list, where he'll likely start the regular season. So if the Vikings decide to keep a third-stringer on the active roster behind Bradford and backup Case Keenum , they're currently looking at Taylor Heinicke or Mitch Leidner. Heinicke is the third-year project who went undrafted out of Old Dominion and has never taken a snap in an NFL regular-season game. He's most famous for severing two tendons in his foot from an ill-fated kick through a glass pane of a door to his friend's apartment that they were locked out of. Leidner is the local rookie who signed with the team ...

Homeless group close to suit over bike path plan in Uptown

Image
The more than three dozen people who live in tents under the Lake Shore Drive bridges at Wilson and Lawrence avenues know better than anyone that the structures need repair. Concrete from the Depression-era bridges is crumbling onto the sidewalks and streets below, posing a deadly hazard to tent-dwellers, as well as motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians. So it may seem strange that a homeless advocacy group might sue the city to stop bridge repairs before they start in mid-September. But attorneys for the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless want to stop the city's plans to put bike paths on the wide sidewalks under the bridges, which the coalition said would permanently drive the homeless out. "If they put the bike paths in, we ain't going to have room for our tents," said Thomas Gordon, 58, who lives under the Lawrence bridge. The sidewalks can currently accommodate both tents and pedestrians — bike paths would cut the space. The dilemma highlights two local tren...
