Adrian and Lesley Hughes, a British couple, were shocked since they woke up in an empty hotel. The worst was they woke up while fires were burning around them. One of a firefighter told Mr. Hughes that the town of Gatlinburg had been evacuated so that they needed to pack up their belongings and "get out".

Mr. Hughes said that at about 8 pm, there had been a line of fire from the mountain behind the hotel. At about 9 pm, the fire had been going down to the city. As a result, a member of staff said that they were considering an evacuation at about 11pm. After waiting for an hour, there was nothing happened. So, the couple assumed that everything was fine and they decided to go to bed. This incidence brought 7 people to the death and many more people are missing.

Although the couple was in dangerous condition, luckily they are still safe. On the other hand, I am also sad for 7 people who died in this incidence. God be with them.

There is a fire at a secondary school dormitory in Southern Turkey. 12 people died, included 11 schoolgirls and a teacher, while 22 people were injured. The dead victims mostly were found near the door which was locked. 6 suspects have been arrested of this incidence.

An electrical fault has been blamed for causing the fire, which spread rapidly due to the wooden structures and carpeted floors in the building. Based on the data, all girls are under 14. Some of them managed to escape and they were injuring themselves by jumping out of the window.

This is bad and sad news. If the door was not locked, the schoolgirls could run and save themselves. It means that no one would die. However, the door was locked and it brought them to their death. Most of the schoolgirls are under 14. They died at 14 and they will never feel the future.

Brandi Worley is a mother who has 2 children, 7 years old son and 3 years old daughter. She called 911 and said that he killed all of his children. She also said that she had stabbed herself and killed her children. She did that because of her divorce.
She told the story to the officers by phone. Her husband wanted a divorce and he wanted to bring the children to live with him. However, Worley did not want to live without her children. She was angry and disappointed. As a result, she stabbed herself in the neck and there was so much blood.
I am sure that actually she loves her children. She did not want to spend her life without her children. Not only a divorce, her husband also wanted to bring the children. Maybe she did not want to life lonely. She showed her anger by doing the wrong things. She pleaded not guilty to the charges Tuesday and is being held in jail without bail. Her life will be so hard. Anger can change us.

A gunman shot 6 people. This incidence occurred in northwest Baltimore on Wednesday night. 2 people died and one of the shooting victims, a man, was critically wounded and he has to fight for his life. While, a women and two other men suffered non-life threatening wounds in the shooting.
The authorities have not known his identity yet. They still do not know his name. The detective and the police still collect the information, any information, to track down the killer. So far, they just knew that the suspect is identified as a black man.
Honestly, I have no idea about this news. I cannot give longer comment since the news has not completed yet. Maybe the suspect had his own reason why he changed into a murderer. Or, that is the real character of his self.

A former marine, Christopher Brandon Lee, had killed the wife on another serviceman. The victim, whose name is Erin Corwin, still in 19 years old, while Lee is in his 27. He had killed in the Mojave Desert while they were having an affair.
Corwin’s body had been found in an abandoned mineshaft outside of Twentynine on 16th August 2014. Earlier this month Lee was found guilty of murder and the jury found true a sentencing enhancement that the killing involved lying in wait. Lee had killed her because he had been angry. Corwin had been suspected that she had molested a family member.
I do not know, whether people are heartless or brainless. While doing this assignment, I knew that there are many crimes in this world. Most of them are murders. People are so mean. Revenge is everywhere. It is very easy for people to kill each other with any reasons.

Detectives believed that at first he did not know what he had inside the lorry, did not know what was inside the container when he pounced on West 48th Street in Manhattan. CCTV footage released that the man was approaching the open door of the truck while the driver retrieves his mobile phone from the cab.
