Nearly a year after a shooting at a Christian elementary school in Nashville that left three adults and three children dead, students and their families have formed tight bonds out of their shared grief. Covenant School chaplain Matthew Sullivan says moms and dads have formed prayer groups that are an integral part of their week. The involvement of the dads now is especially noteworthy. Sullivan says they often stay for morning chapel, sitting in the back and singing the silly songs. Sullivan says he has amazing conversations with the children in the class that lost three students. They ask if there is baseball in heaven, because classmate William Kinney loved baseball. “I say there’s a lot of it,” Sullivan says.

Firefighters in southern New Jersey came to the rescue of a dog who got stuck in a spare tire. The Franklinville Volunteer Fire Company crew found Daisy when they responded to a Franklin Township home last Thursday. The 11-month-old yellow Labrador's neck was deep in the middle of the tire rim. The firefighters worked to devise a rescue plan while attempting to keep Daisy calm. Lt. Brandon Volpe says the crew initially tried dish soap and vegetable oil but couldn’t free the dog. He says Daisy was “pretty stuck in there.” Volpe then remembered he had plasma cutters — used for cutting steel and metal — at his home. So the crew took Daisy to Volpe’s garage and she was free within five minutes.

Authorities are investigating the deaths of an 83-year-old man who was walking his dogs and a 72-year-old man who lived in a remote cabin in connection with the escape of an Idaho white supremacist prison gang member and an accomplice after a Boise hospital ambush. Escaped prisoner Skylar Meade and his accomplice Nicholas Umphenour were arrested in Twin Falls, Idaho, Thursday. Investigators say they may have been responsible for the deaths of two men while on the run. Coroners on Friday identified the victims as James L. Mauney of Juliaetta, and Gerald Don Henderson, who was found dead outside his cabin near Orofino.
