Did white supremacist kill Colorado prisons boss, pizza delivery man?

Police believe a suspect who was killed in a wild car chase and shootout with police was the man who gunned down Tom Clements, the head of Colorado's prison system, at his front door. Authorities are investigating a possible link to a white supremacist prison gang. NBC's Kristen Dahlgren reports.

Investigators are looking into whether a paroled white supremacist may have killed a pizza delivery man and gunned down the top prisons official in Colorado before he led Texas authorities on a wild chase and shootout.

One theory in the case is that the parolee killed the delivery man for his uniform, and used the disguise to get the prisons official to open the door.

Investigators also believe the spree may be connected to a gang of white supremacists who are still in prison. Authorities from Colorado have traveled to Texas and are doing forensics tests to try to connect the crimes.

Sources identified the white supremacist to NBC affiliate KUSA as Evan Spencer Ebel.

?We don?t know yet exactly whether this is the guy,? Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper told reporters Thursday afternoon. ?There?s some indication. I hope it is.?

The prisons official, Tom Clements, was shot to death at his front door Tuesday night in the Denver suburbs. A dark car was seen idling outside, and authorities launched a manhunt.

Two days later and hundreds of miles away, late Thursday morning in Texas, authorities came across a dark sedan in a traffic stop. The man inside shot a sheriff?s deputy three times before speeding away.

As more police followed, the man opened fire again.

?When he came by me, he was running I?d say around 100 miles an hour, just had his left arm out the window, and he was just shooting,? said Rex Hoskins, chief of the Decatur, Texas, police. ?He wasn?t planning on being taken alive.?

Authorities say the suspect collided with an 18-wheeler, got out of his car and kept firing until officers shot him. Texas authorities said he was legally dead but being kept alive in a hospital so his organs might be harvested.

Inside the suspect?s mangled car, authorities found a pizza delivery uniform that police believe may be linked to the murder of Nathan Leon, a Domino?s delivery man, on Sunday in Golden, Colo.

The car in the crash had a Colorado license plate and matches at least the vague description of the car that was seen outside Clements? home.

The deputy who made the traffic stop, James Boyd of the Montague County, Texas, sheriff?s department, was wearing a bulletproof vest and was taken to a hospital in Fort Worth.

'Evolutionary glitch' possible cause of childhood ear infections

Mar. 21, 2013 ? Researchers at King's College London have uncovered how the human ear is formed, giving clues as to why children are susceptible to infections such as glue ear.

The work was funded by the UK Medical Research Council and published today in the journal Science.

It is estimated that one in five children around the age of two will be affected by glue ear, a build-up of fluid in the middle ear chamber. This part of the ear contains three tiny bones that carry sound vibrations from the eardrum to the inner ear. When fluid builds up in the chamber, this prevents the three bones from moving freely so they cannot pass sound vibrations to the inner ear, causing temporary hearing loss. Until now, little was known about why some children appear much more prone than others to developing chronic ear problems, with repeated bouts of glue ear.

Carrying out studies in mice, scientists have discovered the cells that line the middle ear cavity originate from two different tissue types -- 'endoderm' and 'neural crest' cells. The part of the lining that originates from the endoderm is covered in a lawn of cilia (hairs) that help to clear debris from the ear, but the lining derived from neural crest cells do not have cilia. This makes that part of the middle ear less efficient at cleaning itself, leaving it susceptible to infection.

Interestingly, the process of the middle ear transforming into an air-filled space during development appears to be different in birds and reptiles, which have just one little ear bone. Mammals may have evolved this new mechanism for creating an air-filled space to house the additional bones. This indicates that the process of two distinct cell types to create the lining of the middle ear cavity may be linked to the evolution of the three tiny sound-conducting bones.

Dr Abigail Tucker from the Department of Craniofacial Development at King's College London's Dental Institute, said: "Our study has uncovered a new mechanism for how the middle ear develops, identifying a possible reason for why it is prone to infection. The process of neural crest cells making up part of the middle ear appears fundamentally flawed as these cells are not capable of clearing the ear effectively. While this process may have evolved in order to create space in the ear for the three little bones essential for hearing, the same process has left mammals prone to infection -- it's an evolutionary glitch.

"These findings are contrary to everything we thought we knew about the development of the ear -- in all the textbooks it describes that the lining of the middle ear is made of endodermal cells and formed from an extension of another part of the middle ear -- the Eustachian tube. The textbooks will need to be re-written!"

Obama ending Israel visit with symbolic stops

JERUSALEM (AP) ? President Barack Obama is wrapping up a three-day visit to Israel by paying his respects to heroes of the Jewish state and victims of the Holocaust as well as touring the Biblical birthplace of Jesus Christ.

Obama was laying wreaths at the graves of Theodor Herzl, the founder of modern Zionism who died in 1904 before realizing his dream of a Jewish homeland, and former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, who was assassinated in 1995. He will then visit the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial before touring the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem.

The stops are a culmination of the main portion of the president's Mideast trip on which he has vowed unwavering support for Israel and appealed for new peace talks with the Palestinians. He next travels to Jordan.

Michigan woman, 75, convicted of murdering grandson

Todd Mcinturf / The Detroit News via AP

Sandra Layne is shackled after she was convicted Tuesday, March 19, in Pontiac, Mich., of second-degree murder in the shooting death of her grandson last year.

By M. Alex Johnson, staff writer, NBC News

A 75-year-old Michigan woman was convicted of second-degree murder charges Tuesday for shooting her 17-year-old grandson to death last year.

Sandra Layne of West Bloomfield, northwest of Detroit, was held without bond pending a sentencing hearing April 18, NBC station WDIV of Detroit reported.

---

In addition to the murder charge, Layne was also convicted of possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony in the shooting. Oakland County Prosecutor Jessica Cooper told WDIV that Layne was likely to face 12 to 20 years in prison for the murder conviction, plus two years for the firearms violation.

Jurors were given the option of deciding whether Layne committed first-degree murder, but they chose the lesser charge.

The death of Layne's grandson, Jonathan Hoffman, on May 18, 2012, made national headlines after it was disclosed that he was shot in the chest multiple times as he was calling 911.

Jurors were played audio of the 911 calls, in which Jonathan frantically told a dispatcher that he had been shot by his grandmother and was going to die. Although investigators previously said they found eight entry and exit wounds in his body, prosecutors said Monday during closing arguments?that he was actually shot 10 times.

Layne, who took the stand and admitted having shot Jonathan, said she had bought a gun to protect herself because her grandson sometimes brought strangers home late at night to the condominium unit they shared. She said she felt threatened and shot Jonathan in self-defense after he demanded her car and $2,000 so he could leave the state.

Jonathan's parents are divorced, and his father has previously said his son was living with his maternal grandparents while he finished classes at an alternative high school in nearby Farmington.

Jerome Sabota, Layne's attorney, told jurors in closing arguments Monday that Jonathan had a violent temper and that he used synthetic marijuana.

"Think about somebody that's 73 or 74 and this behavior is occurring in her presence," Sabota said. "She was in hysteria. She was afraid and reacted to his physical attack. That's why killed him. That's why she shot."

But Assistant County Prosecutor Paul Walton said in his closing arguments that Layne never complained of injuries and told police when they arrived at the home that she had killed her grandson.

"The first thing that she says to (the police officers) is, 'I murdered my grandson,'" Walton said.

Evernote Food for iOS now lets you share recipes, adds support for OpenTable reservations

Food is an undoubtedly essential part of life -- and, in a rather digital age, some could certainly make the same argument about app updates, right? Well, combining the best of both worlds, today Evernote released a refreshed version of its Evernote Food application on iOS, making it more accessible for hungry users to book a reservation through OpenTable's system and adding some social tidbits that'll let foodies share their recipes by way of email, Facebook or Twitter. Syncing features were also added in v2.1, which will allow any recipe saved on Evernote to seamlessly show up in the My Cookbook portion of the app. While you go and try out the slightly revamped Evernote Food, we're going to keep perfecting our fish tacos recipe -- and maybe we'll even share once we deem it good enough for a Bobby Flay throwdown. Just maybe.

U.N. to probe mysterious Syrian 'chemical' attack

By Michelle Nichols

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Thursday announced that the United Nations will launch an investigation as requested by the Syrian government into allegations that chemical weapons were used in Syria.

"I have decided to conduct a United Nations investigation into the possible use of chemical weapons in Syria," Ban told reporters. He said the investigation will focus on "the specific incident brought to my attention by the Syrian government."

Syria asked Ban on Wednesday to investigate an alleged chemical weapons attack by "terrorist groups" near the northern city of Aleppo on Tuesday, Syrian U.N. Ambassador Bashar Ja'afari said.

The deaths of 26 people in a rocket attack on the northern town of Aleppo on Tuesday have become the focus of a propaganda war between Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's supporters and opponents, who accuse each other of firing a missile laden with chemicals.

The Syrian opposition said on Wednesday that there was a second chemical weapons attack on Tuesday in Damascus in addition to the one the government and opposition accuse each other of carrying out in Aleppo on the same day.

British and French U.N. envoys said after a closed-door meeting of the Security Council on Wednesday that they wanted the United Nations to investigate both the alleged attacks. Russia said the Western request was an attempt to delay a U.N. investigation, an accusation the Europeans rejected.

Ban made clear that the focus of the investigation he announced would be the Aleppo attack.

"I am of course aware that there are other allegations of similar cases involving the reported use of chemical weapons," he said, adding that the United Nations would be cooperating with the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) and the World Health Organization (WHO).

"Full cooperation from all parties will be essential. I stress that this includes unfettered access," he said. "I reiterated this point in my communications with the Syrian authorities."

"There is much work to do and this will not happen overnight, it is obviously a difficult mission," Ban said. "I intend for this investigation to start as soon as is practically possible."

Ban said his announcement "should serve as an unequivocal reminder that the use of chemical weapons is a crime against humanity."

"The international community needs full assurance that chemical weapons stockpiles are verifiably safeguarded," he said.

U.S. and European officials say there is no evidence to suggest there was a chemical weapons attack. If confirmed, it would be the first use of such weapons in the two-year Syrian conflict, which the U.N. says has killed 70,000 people.
