Girlfriend of man shot by police appears on Larry King Live

NEW YORK Nicole Paultre says she's not angry.


Instead, the fiance of Sean Bell -- an unarmed man who died when New York City police sprayed 50 bullets at his car on his wedding day -- says she's trying to be strong for her two young daughters. Bell was shot outside s strip club.


Paultre appeared on C-N-N's "Larry King Live," wearing what would have been her wedding ring and a badge with a photo of the family.


She says she thinks officers used excessive force when they shot Bell, but added she doesn't blame the entire police department for the actions of a few.


Reverend Al Sharpton also appeared with Paultre. Sharpton said the Bell and Paultre families "want to see fairness" and an end to police abuse.


Paultre and Bell were high school sweethearts who had a three-year-old daughter and a 6-month-old baby girl together.

Jennings County school stabbing

At Jennings County High Schol in North Vernon an emotional day. One students said "a bunch of people in my class were like crying and stuff. I knew the kid. The boy who was stabbed. Yeah."


North Vernon Police officer Andrew Richmond held his thumb and index finger about 4 inches apart as he shows the size of the slash found on the side of the boys neck. 16-year-old Lester Peacock's throat was slashed from behind by a 16-year-old sophomore while in study hall.


Officer Richmond says, "where the wound was, how deep it was, it could have been much worse. It missed several major blood vessels a fraction of an inch."


The 15-year-old suspect dropped the knife and ran from the building. Two hours police found him hiding in a ditch near his mother's house after he allegedly sent a text message telling others where he was.


One student says the principal came on the school's PA and said "we are on lockdown - we thought it was a drill." The building sealed shut until they caught the suspect and even then stayed under heightened security the rest of the school day.


"It 's tragedy, it's a very bad thing," said the grandmother of another student at the large High School.


By phone the injured boy's cousin told us "he's doing all right so far. I never could believe it. Quiet, good kid."


Police not talking about motive but a number of students told us "girlfriend, that's what I heard some girl."


Officer Richmond said "it was an isolated incident. It was not a random act it was just between these two."


If any good came of Monday's attack police were pleased the school's emergency procedures worked so well and a boy didn't die.


A senior at the high school told us "you hear about this happening at larger schools but never though it would happen at home."

Family Of Boy Killed At Wal-Mart Files Lawsuit

By Eric Halvorson


News 8 @ 11:00


A local family is suing Wal-Mart for the death of a little boy. They filed the suit Monday. At the news conference announcing their plans, the family's attorney said the death was a foreseeable, senseless incident.


Christopher Antonio was shopping with his mother, last summer, at an Indianapolis Wal-Mart. But, the family's attorney says a mirror at that store became a deadly weapon.


"In this case, it was a six foot tall, three sided, glass mirror that fell off and killed him," family attorney Doug Gwyther said.


The suit accuses Wal-Mart of negligence for failing to provide a safe environment for its customers.


"It's part of their marketing. It's part of their design. They know exactly where that mirror's gonna go and why it's gonna go there and what profit it can help bring them. Obviously, no one thought enough about what dangers that might create," Gwyther said.


Gwyther says the Antonios know the lawsuit can't bring Christopher back and it won't ease their pain.


But, Fidela Antonio told our sister station, WIII, they want to send a message.


"It's something that's terrible that you would not want others to go through and this is what we have to try to do with this. That is the message that we want to carry," Fidela said.


A spokesman for Wal-Mart said, "The safety of our customers is our top priority. The circumstances are tragic. But, it would be inappropriate to comment or offer a statement at this time."


Since the suit was filed Monday, the company has also not had a chance to review its contents.

Carmel Woman Helps To Catch Two Bold Thieves

Police are warning people about break-ins, they say the holidays are a busy time for thieves.


In Carmel, a woman foiled a break-in. Two bold thieves may have met their match. A woman came home only to run a couple of things into the house, left the keys in her truck and when she came back out two people were rifling through it.


"They had to have gotten in there within seconds," Diana Young said. "I opened the door back up and they were already in the vehicle."


"They were both in the truck and the doors were open," Young said.


She says 18-yearolds Cory Zigler and Casey Root walked into her garage and got into her truck either to strip it or steal it. Seeing her they took off and so did she watching where they were going and calling 911.


Their car was parked across the street. When she ran out she got the license plate number. The car was still running she went inside and even took the keys.


"I'm watching him from the window and he's realizing he doesn't have his keys," Young said. "I had his keys.


But wasn't she scared?


"No. I wanted them caught," Young said.


"She showed them that she had the keys when she was on the phone. We apprehended him on the scene. The other fled on foot and we apprehended him in the perimeter," Sgt. Brett Keith with the Carmel Police department said.


Carmel Police say Zigler and Root may be involved in two other car break-ins, one at Carmel High School.


Young's purse and keys were still in her truck. She's only relieved no one got hurt, "If they both would have had me inside that house I would have been in trouble."


One of the suspects is from Whitestown, the other from Sheridan. But the car they were in had an out of state tag and rental keys.


They are at the Hamilton County jail charged in one break-in but police are investigating a couple of others.

3 members of missing family found alive


JEFF BARNARD,

Associated Press Writer

Three members of a San Francisco family missing for more than a week were found alive Monday along a snowy, treacherous roadway in southwestern Oregon, police said. A search continued for the father.

Investigators said a helicopter spotted 30-year-old Kati Kim waving an umbrella about 1:45 p.m. PST. Her daughters Penelope, 4, and Sabine, 7 months, were with her. They were airlifted to Three Rivers Community Hospital in Grants Pass.

"Mom arrived in an ambulance smiling and waving," Linda Rankin, vice president for patient care at the hospital, told The Associated Press. She said all three were in good condition, and would spend the night at the hospital.

Rescuers continued to look for Kati Kim's husband, 35-year-old James Kim. He left on foot two days ago to seek help, police said. Searchers followed the father's footprints into the snow until it became too dark, and planned to use helicopters with thermal imaging technology Tuesday.

The family missed a turnoff and tried to take an alternate route, then took a wrong direction at a fork in the road, said Oregon State Police Lt. Gregg Hastings. They had been traveling along rural roads that are often used as shortcuts to Gold Beach on the south Oregon coast. The roads are typically used by whitewater rafters in the summer, but often are treacherous and impassible during the winter.

They were 15 miles from the main road when found.

Nursing supervisor Cynthia Russell said the mother nursed both the children while they were lost. Hastings said there was only some baby food and a few snacks in the car. The family stayed warm by running the car at night until they ran out of gas, and then they burned the tires, authorities said.

"During the night they just cuddled as a family to stay warm," Hastings said.

When the father ventured out for help, he left wearing only tennis shoes, pants, a sweater and a jacket. His family said he had outdoor experience, and Oregon State Police Lt. Doug Ladd said there is "a very reasonable chance" that he is still alive. Russell said the family reported that he had eaten berries in the area, but they weren't sure if they were poisonous.

The family saw friends in Portland on Nov. 25 and then headed toward home after a Thanksgiving trip to the Pacific Northwest. They were last spotted at a restaurant that same day. They had reservations at a lodge, but never arrived.

During the past several days, authorities combed highways and byways using snow machines and helicopters. Troopers checked hotels and resorts along the south coast. They also tried to track the family by tracing their credit history and cell phone signals.

Temperatures in the region have been below freezing, with lows in the mid-20s to mid-30s. The National Weather Service predicted patchy fog in the valleys overnight, as well as light winds.

The area is in the same region where another family was found in their RV in March. The family, missing for more than two weeks, took a shortcut and got stuck in the snow.

Teen Had Bulletproof Vest, Pellet Gun At Airport


A 19-year-old high school student was arrested after he tried to pass through an Indianapolis International Airport security checkpoint while wearing a bulletproof vest and carrying a pellet gun Sunday night, police said.Carlos Delay, an Arsenal Technical High School senior, was escorting his wheelchair-bound mother to her flight when the items in his possession set off a metal detector, authorities said. Security personnel searched him and found the vest and the pellet gun, which authorities said looked like a 9 mm handgun.

"It's absolutely unnormal for an average citizen to come to the airport wearing a bulletproof vest and having a toy handgun, so to say," said Bill Reardon, chief of the airport's police department.Delay was arrested on a preliminary charge of disorderly conduct and released after spending an hour in a police lockup. Police said they don't believe Delay had any bad intentions.
Reardon said Delay told police he wanted to have some protection at the airport in case of terrorist threats. However, in an interview at his home Monday, Delay told 6News that he wasn't wearing the vest for any particular reason.
Delay said police asked him many times why he brought the items to the airport."I just kept saying the same thing: 'I just did it. (I) didn't think about it,' " Delay told 6News' Jeremy Brilliant. Delay said he had the vest because he wants to become a Marion County Sheriff's Department cadet, something for which he has attended initiation meetings.
Delay said he made a mistake, but he was surprised at being arrested. He said it hadn't occurred to him that he shouldn't have a bulletproof vest and a pellet gun at an airport."It never dawned on me at all," Delay said.Capt. Phil Burton, a Marion County Sheriff's Department spokesman, said the arrest was "not good" for someone who aspires to be a cadet."It's definitely not a step in the right direction, if you want to become a cadet and ultimately a police officer, to get arrested for anything," Burton said.
