Ditched dad shoots girl, 7, injures son, 9, before killing self

BRITAIN: A terrible tragedy occurred when a father killed his seven-year-old daughter and shot his 9-year-old son in his head before turning the gun on himself in Oxford, Massachusetts.

The man's brother and his wife lived a floor below him. They called 911 and rushed into his apartment the moment they heard the gunshots, reports Daily Mail.

The mother of the children arrived home to find the place swarming with police and her daughter and estranged husband dead and her son fighting for his life. She was dragged away by the men in uniform as they were not sure who had pulled the trigger. She was later released as friends and neighbours confirmed that she had been on the lookout for a new place to live in and had already moved out of the couple's home.

It is yet not clear what made the man take the extreme step. He was described by his neighbours as an overweight person who worked in the IT industry.
 

School kids 'given lessons in abusive words'

BRITAIN: A new school in South Yorkshire took the unconventional route of teaching. The children got a lesson in swear words and a worksheet titled “Acceptable Or Not?”.

The abusive words were not even censored and the children were asked if certain situations warranted the use of such words, reports news agency ANI.

The parents were ouraged when their children showed them the worksheet they were made to discuss and work on during the school hours. They lamented that the children's lesson was not handled in a controlled manner. It could have definitely been handled in a better way without exposing the students to all kinds of bad words, even those that they were not aware of till then.

Grade seven to nine students were made to participate in the special class and there were about 700 students who were made to do their assignments.
 
Police 'lost' security keys at Olympic venue

LONDON: London police lost a set of keys at an Olympic venue last week - but security was not compromised by the incident, officials said Sunday.

Officers securing Wembley Stadium, an Olympic soccer venue in west London, reported Tuesday that a set of internal keys used on searches at the venue were missing, Scotland Yard said.

The force said that detectives failed to find the keys, but found no evidence of criminal offenses - suggesting that police probably misplaced the keys.

"There is absolutely no security concern in relation to the stadium as measures were taken immediately to secure all key areas of the venue," police said in a statement.

Organisers of the London Olympics stressed that relevant locks have been changed and there was no security breach. Police declined to provide more details about what the keys were for.

Wembley is one of six stadiums hosting the men's and women's football tournaments during the games. The first soccer events began on Wednesday, ahead of the opening ceremony.
