In a real-life version of Assault On Precinct 13, a shotgun-wielding maniac stormed the Detroit Police Department’s Northwestern District and shot four police officers before being shot and killed by the police.  Insane, isn’t it?  Apparently, this gunman, armed with a pistol-grip shotgun, just walked into the precinct and just started gunning down cops, according to Detroit Police Chief Ralph Godbee Jr.

If you thought police station attacks like this only happened in Mexico, or that Walmart was the center of the craziness in America, think again.  The four officers shot were a female sergeant at the front desk, Commander Brian Davis, Sergeant Ray Saati, and Officer David Anderson.  Davis underwent surgery for his wounds; Saati was grazed in the head and will be held for observation.  Anderson and the female desk sergeant were treated and released with minor injuries; Anderson was also grazed in the head and the female sergeant was shot in the chest but saved by her bullet-proof vest.

“Incidents like this are very sobering and remind us of just how vulnerable we all are,” said Godbee in a press conference at Sinai Grace Hospital, where the injured police officers were taken.

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
