Following the most recent school mass shooting – this time in Santa Fe, Texas, where 10 students and teachers were killed and 10 were wounded Friday – family members, friends and investigators find themselves searching for illusive answers. Why did this happen? How do you make sense of such a senseless tragedy? Texas Gov. Greg Abbott  pointed out  that unlike other recent mass shootings, “there were not those types of warning signs. The red-flag warnings were either nonexistent or very imperceptible.” The accused shooter’s parents said the media reports of the shooting seemed “ incompatible with the boy (they) love ,” and the 17-year-old boy’s best friend said he was “ one of the most responsible people I knew . He didn't drink or do drugs, to my knowledge … he was academically proactive, making all A's.” Given the profile that is emerging, investigators have not yet identified the motive for the shooting. I, however, know  precisely  why this latest killer did

Is it greatness or is it magic? It's Year 15 of LeBron  CLEVELAND -- What will happen when the   Boston Celtics   and   Cleveland Cavaliers   play Game 7 on Sunday? Where will   LeBron James   sign this summer? You can make educated guesses, but right now, no one truly knows. Not even James. It's fair to wonder whether James has indeed played his final game in Cleveland as a Cav, 11 glorious and complicated seasons in. But for a moment at least, it might be worth it to forget about projecting the next move and to have some perspective on what has just happened. James is in the midst of the most prolific postseason of his career. What he has done at Quicken Loans Arena over the past six weeks is magical, creating memories not only for his hometown fans but moments James is sure to cherish himself. When the game winner at the buzzer in Game 5 against the  Indiana Pacers fell through the net in the first round -- a step-back 3-pointer that probably ended up tipping t

Monaco Grand Prix qualifying: Daniel Ricciardo on pole for Red Bull Daniel Ricciardo claimed pole position for the Monaco Grand Prix after Red Bull Formula 1 team-mate Max Verstappen missed qualifying thanks to his practice crash. Ricciardo topped the first two stages of qualifying, with Verstappen unable even to take to the track thanks to damage sustained in a morning accident at the second part of Swimming Pool that forced a gearbox change, before banging in a 1m10.810s on his first run in Q3 to take top spot. Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton briefly threatened Ricciardo's position with the fastest first sector time of qualifying on his final flier, but lost pace later in the lap and ended up third behind Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel. Ricciardo, meanwhile, looked set to improve, but dropped time in the final sector and ended up posting a lap 0.036 seconds slower than his first attempt. This is only Ricciardo's second pole position in F1, coming two years afte

Indiana woman sentenced | for killing a mom, claiming her baby ANDERSON, Ind. –   An Indiana woman will spend up to 30 years in prison for killing a mother and trying to pass off the woman's 3-month-old baby as her own. The Herald Bulletin reports that 39-year-old Geraldine R. Jones was sentenced Friday in Anderson, Indiana. Jones also was ordered to serve 10 years' probation. She pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and criminal confinement. Prosecutors have said that Jones drove to Samantha J. Fleming's home in Anderson in 2015 and posed as a state child services worker. Jones allegedly told the 23-year-old Fleming she was there to drive her and the baby to a court hearing. Fleming's body later was found in Jones' Gary home. Fleming had been stabbed; her body doused in bleach. Jones told family and neighbors she was pregnant with twins.

Alabama man  | hit with more than 6,500 child  | porn charges An Alabama man has been jailed for allegedly running a child pornography production operation involving at least ten children from the area in which he lives, resulting in more than 6,500 charges, police say. Jeffery Dale Hunt, 50, of Cherokee, was indicted Friday on 6,547 counts of child pornography involving multiple children and his bail has been set at $10 million cash. "I don't know that he'll ever see the outside of a jail again unless it's from a recreational yard or going to court," Sgt. Greg Cobb, a spokesman for the Florence Police Department, told the Associated Press. Hunt was arrested this week while free on bond from a previous arrest on child pornography charges, Cobb added. "The detective handling the case is having to go through now and unfortunately view every one of these images on every device,” he said. An indictment returned this week included 4,378 counts of
