IN the NEWS - The "Bread" & "Wine" Litter the Globe

For they eat the bread of wickedness, 

and drink the wine of violence.

Proverbs 4:17

 

I. Pennsylvania 

"One witness told WWL-TV that they heard at least a dozen

gunshots ring out — sending panic through the crowd of parade-watchers as they tried to run from the gunfire. He said police had broken up multiple skirmishes in the same area prior to the shooting....Pfeffer is also alleged to have attempted to rob Officer Fitzgerald of his gun and to have gone through his pockets, while the officer was laying on the ground and fatally wounded."

II. Britain

"A “dark and twisted” woman who was obsessed with serial killers

and true crime documentaries has been found guilty of murdering her boyfriend with a Celtic dagger......Groves, who had framed pictures of prominent serial killers on her wall, such as Jeffrey Dahmer, is said to have flown into a jealous rage after discovering text messages on her boyfriend’s phone and then proceeded to stab him 22 times while he was asleep, finally plunging the Celtic dagger into his heart to stop the “bubbling noise” as he was dying....Groves later video-called her friend and admitted to the murder, and giggled as she told Baitup that her boyfriend was “suicidal anyway” and that “it was alright, they’ll just assume he has gone off and committed suicide”."

III. South Carolina

"A South Carolina woman is accused of killing a 26-year-old mother

at a Kroger shopping center on Valentine’s Day. “Irmo Officers responded to a shooting incident in the Kroger Shopping Center at 4:00 p.m. and located the victim in the parking lot. A short time later, the victim was pronounced dead.” 

Police believe the shooting resulted from a “verbal altercation” that allegedly occurred between Harrison and the victim. WLTX reported the Lexington County Coroner’s Office had identified the victim as Alexandria Cress Borys. Borys’ husband, Tyler Borys, told WACH “their 2-year-old child and an infant” were in the car when the shooting occurred."

IV. New Orleans

"Five people, including a child, were shot when a gunman opened

fire during the Krewe of Bacchus parade in New Orleans Sunday — two days before hundreds of revelers will descend on the city to celebrate Mardi Gras. Shots rang out on Terpsichore Street around 9:30 p.m. as the parade was under way. Three men, a woman and a young girl were each struck by bullets.  Police took one suspect into custody shortly after and recovered two guns at the scene, according to the chief. “We were quickly able to apprehend the suspect we believe responsible for this,” Ganthier said. Police are investigating whether there was a second shooter at the scene and encouraged any witnesses to call their Crime stoppers line."

VIII. New Zealand

"Weeks before 16-year-old Trinity Oliver was found dead near a

South Auckland train station — her naked body battered and showing signs of strangulation — she had called 111 to report friend Vikhil Krishna had choked and stolen her puppy. “I’m just, I’m pretty scared,” she said in the call, which was played for jurors today at Krishna’s murder trial in the High Court at Auckland. “He choked it off, he like choked the dog while pulling it off, cos I was holding my dog and he choked the dog and like pulled him,” Oliver continued during the 1.36am call, which lasted 12 minutes. The teen would be found dead near the Homai train station in Manurewa two months later —roughly 13 hours after prosecutors allege she was intentionally strangled by the 24-year-old defendant."
