Thats officer wilson in the white tshrt just hours after the shooting leaving for the hospital with police representatives. Police have always reported Michael Brown gave wilson a beatdown before the shooting but the brown family Attorney Says its hard to see any injuries here. I think the lack of injuries on the officers face demonstrates that they exaggerated his injuries. 21 to 25 or 22.

Federal agents acted as part of an Ongoing Investigation into potential violations of the controlled substances act that investigation stems from a lawsuit filed by more than 1200 former plaurs. They allege that for years nfl teams illegally distributed painkillers in a way that left many of them addicted. We will never know what we really were taking at times. And i could stand by that.

Taking the expense out of being a bridesmaid. Who is rethinking that costly and sometimes tacky dress. Youre watching world news now.

Now thats clean. With just a week to go before all the driving to grandmothers house for thanksgiving, theres good news for drivers. Gas prices continue to plunge. The National Average is down 2. 89 a gallon. Its the lowest National Average since december 2010. The news isnt so good when it comes to air fares. They remain high despite airlines spending less on fuel. With demand remaining high, articles have no reasons to lower fares. Meanwhile, Airline Loyalty reward programs have become the latest target for cyberthieves. Those frequent flier miles taken right out of your account. The rest of your personal information is also vulnerable. Abcs david kerley investigates. When we fly, drive or stay it means miles. Points in those loyalty reward programs. Remember George Clooney hitting the highest status up on the big screen . He just hit 10 million miles. Congratulations. Reporter those points can replace thousands of dollars that youd normally pay for things like holiday travel. That means those loyalty akontss can be as valuable as Bank Accounts which can make them enticing to cybercrooks. Theres a lot of rewards programs these days. So i am probably involved in at least ten if not more. Reporter zach asked we shoot him in shadow and change his name after hackers stole 250,000 points from his account. And a lot of his personal information. You work for these points. The ultimate concern really, the guy knows where i live but it certainly made me think twice about what can happen to you when you arent prepared. Data thieves want to target places you dont check often. And reward account is checked less than a credit card account. Reporter your loyalty account is different from your bank account because Banking Companies use stricter security measures than rewards programs do. I worry about Identity Theft, Bank Accounts and now reward miles . Those miles are of great value to you. Criminals know that. They are always seeking ways to get to it. Reporter never leave your boarding pass behind. It can be an easy window into hacking your account. They can findior name, loyalty number and member status. Or they can hack your account using personal information youve already provided including birth date, emale address and where you live. Airlines for america, a trade association, says airlines know how important customer information is and that they are vigilant in protecting Customer Data and rewards earned for loyalty. Best advice . Monitor your akoccount at least once a week. Create a complex password. This seems like another door for the criminal to whack through. Those loyalty points are great for the companies and consumers. We just have to recognize theres great value there. Reporter if your points are stolen, dont be afraid to ask the program to reimburse you. David kerley, abc news, washington. One case the thieves booked hotel rooms and were able to get into the account with hotel rooms. Would you rather have your points or money stolen . Id rather have nothing stolen. You work hard for your things. Including your points. Youre right. Coming up, dresses for rent. Its a wedding planners dream. Bridesmaid dresses available for the big day. Friends of the bride rejoice. And drama on the dance floor. Highlights from last nights heated ballroom battle. The winners and the one loser. Youre watching world news now. Announcer world news now so they say being a bridesmaid is an honor. It is, right . But it doesnt come cheap. Have you been a bridebridesm before . I have. Women can spend a small fortune on that dress they only wear once. I thought they were cheap. No, theyre not cheap. Theres a new way to look good and you can save hundreds. Abby boudreau with this story. What the hell is that . Theme wedding. Reporter whether its 27 dresses or just a one time thing. Bridesmaids have a tough enough task. 800. Why shell out hundreds for a bridesmaids dress that, lets face it, youre never going to wear again. Its an amazing honor but an expensive honor. Reporter kelsey dorey who has been a brides dld maid six times offering rental designer gowns at a fraction of the cost. How much does a bridesmaid save . Up to 85 . You can save 400. Reporter no more ruffles and tacky taffeta like 16 candles. Instead a more fashion forward look but for less. Like this designer metallic dress retailing for 300, but you can rent it for 110. A savings of more than 60 . This dress retails at 495, but as a rental, youll pay only 125. A 75 savings. And kelsey says mixing neutrals is another popular style. The nude color retails around 225. You can rent it for 110. Saving 50 . And the process is simple. Three months before the big day, brides pick them out on the website. The brides dld maid submits her measurements and receives two sizes to try on and ship back. Then one week before the wedding her designer gown arrives on her doorstep. What is the reaction youre getting . They are loving it. Loving the savings almost as much as they love catching the bouquet. Abby boudreau, abc news, los angeles. Interesting. I think its an interesting service. Arent those tricky with the material. You have to have them cut in some way. I know that from my days as a brides dld ma bridesmaid.
