Police say it all began this morning in the philadelphia suburbs. They say 26 yearold andre gordon showed up at a home in a stolen car. They say once inside, he shot and killed his step mother and 13 year old sister. There were three other individuals at the residence, including a minor inside the home, who were able to hide and avoid being shot by gordon as he went through the house searching for them. Police say after that shooting, gordon went to another home and killed the mother of his two children. He allegedly stole another car before barricading himself in the new jersey home. Officials say they dont yet know the motive for any of the murders. To new mexico now and to the hunt for a man wanted for what police call a cold blooded killing.

Two deaths, more than a thousand miles away, now linked in new mexico state Police Officer justin hare was responding to a call around 5 a. M. Friday morning to help the driver of a white bmw with a flat tire.

The suspect, identified as jeremy smith, then allegedly went around to the other side of the car and shot hare again, then allegedly pushed the officer onto the passenger seat and drove away in the police car before crashing it.

Officers came face to face with an armed 16 year old. They say he pulled out the gun during a fight. No shots were fired, but the teen was taken into custody along with several bags of marijuana. That incident happened just hours after new restrictions took effect that were supposed to make some Florida Spring break hotspots safer. Among the changes, miami beach has installed a midnight curfew and drinking is no longer allowed on the beach or on the streets at night. With spring break comes a new concern over a rise in measles cases in the u. S. The cdc is reporting 58 cases in 17 states, including california, this year. Thats the same number of cases as all of 2023. Measles is highly contagious. Its spread through the air, and it can be transmitted before you even know you have it. The cdc says the best way to prevent it is through vaccination. The majority of measles cases are happening in unvaccinated individuals. A lot of it is vaccine hesitancy, which unfortunately has increased in some parts of the country since the pandemic, but also the pandemic itself caused delays in routine childhood vaccinations. Symptoms of the measles include fever, cough, congestion and rashes. It can be fatal in Young Children, but can also cause long terme complications in people whove been infected.
