Everyone was on the edge of their seats that these whales could die. We can report theyre free. They had a passage that led to water six miles away. The whales followed it out, saved by mother nature. This is an uz mazing story. Ac 360 starts now. Thanks. Good evening. Theres breaking news tonight. One of the governments leading disease fighters becoming the Top Health Official to say this years flu outbreak has now reached epidemic levels. According to cdc, as many as 50,000 people may die from this flu and its still getting worse. Well talk to dr. Sanjay gupta about how to protect yourself in a moment. First, another shooting at another school. This time in california. It happened on the same day the white house held meetings on ways to curtail gun violence. Well have all of the details on the meetings in a moment, but lets get the latest on the shooting. Authorities say the student showed up late to class with a 12gauge shotgone. Allegedly shooting one classmate, missing a second target. Were joined at Taft Union High school. What happened inyou saw someone who saw the gunman heading toward the school. Its really important to trace this back, anderson, because this is a boy who lived in the neighborhood. He lives in walking distance of the high school. This is a small community. Everybody knows each other. This mother whose student also goes to the high school, she saw this young boy walk right by her. She saw him carrying something, but he was so young, this is such a safe community, she thought it was a toy gun. Listen to what she told us. It looks like a play gun, but when you see the gun, we saw the handle of the gun, but we didnt see the whole gun. So it was a long gun . No, short. Two distinct shotguns she heard shortly after she saw the boy walk by her house. We anyhow they were bullets from a 12gauge shotgun. She went into a panic because her son was inside the school. Is it clear at this point, were there specific targets intended . How old was the alleged shooter . The alleged shooter is 16 years olds. He walked into his first period classroom midway through. Police are saying he absolutely targeted the people he was firing at. The first boy he shot, 16yearold boy, a class mate, he knew that boy. He had him, according to numerous parents and friends and students we talked to here, this boy had a hit list of sorts. A hit list that he was caught with last year. A list of people who he wanted to kill, according to friends and many of the parents here. And they were in fact upset when they saw him back here and heard about all of this, anderson. One other thing we should point out is that they are going to bring up questions now about why this boy was actually allowed back into school, knowing his history. I also understand that the armed guard who is normally at the school was not there today. Youre absolutely right about that. Normally, every single day, theres a Police Officer here at the high school, before, during, and after school. That offic couldnt get to school today because he was snowed in. Theres been terrible weather in this region. So that officer wasnt here, but police say it really probably would not have mattered so much. Officers responded within that first 911 call 60 seconds, but theyre really looking at a teacher, a teacher in the classroom and the campus counselor. Heres what officers told us. The heroics of these two people goes without saying, to stand there and face someone who has a shotgun, who has already discharged it and shot a student, that speaks volumes for these two young men and what they may have prevented. They could have just as easily tried to get out of the classroom and left students, and they didnt. And they knew not to let him leave the classroom with that shotgun, and they took that responsibility on very seriously, and were very proud of the job they did. Another thing that theyre also crediting are drills. The school, anderson, just this morning, had a drill as to what to do if a shooter was in the school, a drill that became real life just an hour later. Do we know hot the teachers, the administrators said to the student to get him to disarm . And also, do we know what the motive of targeting why there was allegedly this hit list or why he may have targeted these particular students . We dont know the exact language. We did ask the officers what exactly did that teacher say . But they will tell us that he used languages of distraction. He was trying to engage the student, trying to convince him to not hurt anyone else. And the reason that they were distracting the student is so the other 28 students in the classroom could get out alive. As far as the motivation of this particular student, what we have learned, anderson, is hes a troubled boy. I mention now, this is a small community, a small school. They all knew each other, a boy who for many years, everyone knew had some trouble. They believe he was bullied because he was so odd. As far as the hit list, what people are telling me because i spoke to a boy who believes he was actually on that list, he says he was putting the names of popular kids and jocks on that hit list. Kyung lah, thank you for reporting. This is all happening on the same day Vice President biden promising to put gun proposals in front of president obama by this coming tuesday, a little more than a month after the shootings in newtown. He and his task force have been hearing from a lot of different sides, including top lobbyists for the National Rifle association, the organization coming away none too pleased with the organization. The Vice President mentioned some specific recommendations emerging from groups meeting so far. What are they . Well, number one, anderson, he mentioned it right there at a News Conference of sorts with reporters. The reporters werent allowed to ask questions, but the Vice President did give a briefing as to what was going on today. He said that theyre going to be looking at universal background checks, and that would sort of replace the system we have now, sort of a hodgepodge system where at gun dealers there are background checks that are conducted but at gun shows there are not. Even private sales, if i were to sell you a gun, there would have to be a background check, according to what the Vice President was laying out earlier today. The other thing he talked about was some sort of ban or limitation on the high capacity magazines sort of like the magazines used by the shooter, adam lanza, in newtown, connecticut. A lot of people who were concerned about hand gun violence have pointed to those high capacity magazines as being a big problem, and the Vice President talked about that. He also talked about improving gun Safety Information and getting more funding for gun violence research. That kind of money has been stripped from places like the cdc in part because of the efforts of the nra over the last several years. And the nra, as you mentioned, anderson, came out of that meeting none too pleased. Look at this statement they released earlier this afternoon. It was within minutes of the meeting ending. It says we were disappointed with how little this meeting had to do with keeping our children safe and how much it had to do with an agenda to attack the second amendment. And anderson, all of this is happening so quickly. You know, in washington, if you want to sideline an issue, you appoint a commission. The Vice President , as you said, is going to have some recommendations for the president on tuesday, and heres some of what he had to say. Theres a surprising, so far, a surprising recurrence of suggestions that we have universal background checks. Not just close the gun show loophole, but total universal background checks, including private sales. I have never quite heard as much talk about the need to do something about highcapacity magazines as i have heard spontaneously from every group that we have met with so far. And anderson, the National Rifle association is indicating theyre getting ready to go and get some work done on capitol hill, telling our political unit earlier this afternoon to expect an ad campaign from the nra in the coming days. Jim acosta, appreciate that update. When president obama spoke at Memorial Services for the sandy hook victims, they said newtown, youre not alone. And people including the family of noah pozner took him at his word, but now some are saying president obama has not been living up to the words, you are not alone. His mom put out a statement today. It reads, as the mother of a decisionyearold victim of a cold blooded massacre of school children, im puzzled and disappointed by the fact that i had no information or opportunity to be heard on the upcoming legislative proposal in washington. I understand you had concerns that your voice, your familys voice was not beingurd by the white house. You just heard from them moments ago. What did they say . Thats correct. The white house contacted me on my way while i was on my way to the show. I had sent an email about eight days ago to an aide of president obama asking questions about whether the families would have an opportunity to speak about the proposal. And an opportunity to be heard. And i never received a response to that email. According to the call i just received, it was a miscommunication at the white house. And thats why there was no response to the email. They apologized for that. Why do you think they reached out to you now . One of our producers called them today in anticipation of the interview to get a comment and the Associated Press ran a story on it. Do you think thats what did it . I think to help them understand the situation better in terms of the familys desire to speak to Vice President biden. My understanding based upon my conversation with the Vice President s office is that there may be groups out there purporting to represent all of the victims families when those groups in fact do not. There is no group that represents my family in this matter. And the white house now understands that based upon our conversation. Do you know what you your family want done . Hope to have done . Have you decided on kind of a course of action you would like to see officials take regarding gun control or legislation . We do have ideas. Theyre ideas based upon our direct experience in this event, and we want to share those ideas with the white house and others. But i think its also important to note that we have tough questions and questions about the proposals that have been circulated already, and we want simply the opportunity to be heard, both our ideas but also to ask questions and to see how we can best avoid this kind of massacre again. What are some of the concerns about some of the proposals you have heard so far . Well, to give an example, with regard to armed guards, there was an armed guard in columbine, so i dont think that thats exactly maybe appropriate in certain instances, but im not sure thats going to avoid the kind of massacre that happened here. On the other side of things, with regard to assault weapons, that may be an important part of the proposal as well, but theres the arizona situation which i understand it was handguns, and handguns can be very dangerous in the classroom as well. We have questions to ask of both sides, and our focus as a family, at least my sister and i, were very much focused on School Safety and how do we insure that our children are safe. I appreciate talking to you. Were coming up on the onemonth anniversary and my thoughts are with you and your entire family and all of the families still dealing with this. I appreciate you talking tonight. Thank you. Thank you, anderson. I appreciate it. Let us know what you think about some of the proposals you have been hearing. Follow me on twitter. Coming up next, we ask Newt Gingrich if he thinks president obama is overstepping his power on gun control and if he thinks theres any Common Ground to be had on the issue. A lot of republicans are upset that the president might act on executive orders on some of the things he can act on. Well speak to former speaker gingrich about that. And well take you to chicago where the number of gun crimes are extraordinarily high.

When Vice President biden suggest said some of his recommendations to president obama might include the president issues executive orders, a firestorm erupted. President obama, critics said, was overstepping his authority. The drudge report read the headline, white house threatens executive orders on guns. And look at the pictures. They show pictures of josef stalin and adolf hitler. Lindsey graham weighed in as well. Gun control by executive order could be a power grab that wont go down well. Just today, Newt Gingrich told foxs Greta Van Susteren that congress should act to block any executive order. They need congress to cut off money and say no money shall be spent to do this. Newt gingrich has launched a new website. I spoke to him just a few minutes ago. Mr. Speaker, as you know, the white house is looking seriously at new gun control measures. They have talked about using executive orders, not to create new gun control laws, but to strengthen things like databases the fbi uses for background checks or getting states to share more information from criminal and Mental Health databases or even prosecuting felons who try to buy guns illegally or people who lie on background checks. Would you support any of those moves . You have to look at each one one by one. A number of them, for example, the Mental Health issues, for example, i strongly favor, looking at those actions. If theyre within the law and its an appropriate executive order, i think the priesident hs every right to do it. If its not in current law, he cant do it by executive order and the congress would have to, i think, block him if he attempted to do it by executive order. It depends on exactly what they come up with. What i really encourage is that the Vice President before he rushed around doing new things, go to chicago. Chicago has very strict gun laws. It is also the deadliest city in america, over 500 people were killed in chicago last year. And i think the Vice President ought to ask the question himself, why is it that all of these laws have failed so totally in chicago, the president s hometown . What should we maybe learn from inadequate policing, inadequate enforcement about a city whose laws on paper are terrific but whose reality has been really disastrous. We have done a number of shows from chicago on this very issue. A lot of it is young people getting killed on their way to and from school, getting caught in gang cross fire and the like. You think theres some room for Common Ground, perhaps some new gun control legislation if it was able to be passed through congress, should everything be on the table for discussion . Look, i think everything for discussion can be on the table, but i would feel a lot better if Vice President biden had invited some representatives of progun groups into these meetings. He had the nra there. Today is a good start. I did not know they came in today. They said they were very disappointed at how it turned out. They said basically hes talking about gun control issues. They wanted to focus more on School Safety issues and all that. I think youre going to have these kind of arguments. I would just come back to what i said earlier. I would be intrigued to have Vice President biden follow your leadership, go to chicago, and before he explains to the rest of us the new rules we need to have, look at the rules that dont work. Illinois, connecticut was the fourth highest ranked gun control state in the united states, according to the brady foundation. Yet look at the terrible tragedy at newtown. Chicago has supposedly got very strict gun laws. Youre not even allowed to carry your gun out of your house onto your porch. Its illegal. You cant get a gun unless you go down and pass a test. You have to be fingerprinted, you have to pay 100. The license is only good for three years. You pay 15 per gun for every gun you have. Chicago has all these rules. How come there are over 500 People Killed last year . Maybe we ought to have some commonsense, lets talk about the facts. I would be very willing to be part of a group to talk about the fact and from the facts try to develop public policy. Sometimes it will make the nra uncomfortable. Sometimes it will make people who are antigun uncomfortable, but we would be a healthier country if we could have a factbased conversation. Does it concern you, the highvolume magazine cartridges that are available, some of the militarystyle weapons that people can have . Do you think that should be part of the discussion . Is that on the table . Do you think there should be some changes there . I think we should look at all these things, but again, i would just suggest to you that in fact almost none of the killings in chicago, the deadliest place in america, almost none of those killings involved any kind of exotic weapon. They involved a system which is broken down, where the police have broken down, where the process is broken down. And so i would start and say, you know, the total number of use of those kind of devices youre talking about in the entire country is very, very small. And had there been an armed guard at that school, the odds are that by the second or third shot, the guard in fact, the minute he tried to break through the front door, the guard would in fact have been confronting him. The principal there was very courageous, and she ran up to try to stop him. I would much rather that she had been armed and that he had been killed instead of her, and that may sound like a harsh judgment, but i do agree if youre faced with somebody who is homicidal and evil, who is trying to do something terrible, there are times in fact the only counter force works. Even if the principal has a handgun and somebody arrives with an automatic weapon, you know, with a huge magazine, thats not much of a fair fight right there. And even in schools like columbine where there have been security guards, again, shootings take place. I think most professional police will tell you that a person who has been trained, who is prepared to in fact defend the children, can be remarkably effective with a handgun. And if youll notice, very few of our Police Actually carry automatic or semiautomatic weapons because fbi agents are comfortable that the right hand gun with the right training is a very formidable way to protect people. Mr. Speaker, i appreciate your time. Thank you. Thank you. Quick perspective on executive orders. According to the national archives, president obama has issued 144 in his first four years in office. Thats about average compared with other modern president s. Dwight Dwight Eisenhower issues 465. 360 has been following the story for years. An update right now from ted rolands. Last year, the Chicago Police department confiscated more than 7,400 guns. More than five times per capita than in new york. Chicagos gun laws are as strict as any in the country. In fact, you cant buy a handgun in the city. So where do they come from . Many come from places like this, a gun shop in a nearby town. This is chucks gun shop in neighboring riverdale, which is frequently the target of protests because of the amount of guns they have sold over the years that have ended up being used in crimes. Illegal handguns in our community. The owner of chucks declined our interview request. Many of the guns from chucks and other stores that end up on the streets are socalled straw purcha purchases. Bought legally by someone without a criminal record who then turns around and sells them on the street. Don owns illinois kngun works. He says a straw purchase can be hard to stop. Its not like they come into the store with a neon sign saying, hey, im going to buy it for somebody else. You dont know that. I cant read your mind. You can go into a gun shop, buy ten nine millimeters and theres no trail after that. Gary mccarthy thinks a proposed loll requiring people to report when a gun is lost, stolen, or sold will help stop straw purchases because as it stands now, its easy for people to get away with it. If i were to buy this gun and then go out and sell it to somebody out on the street and that gun was later used in a crime, they would trace that gun back to me, but all i would have to do is lie and say that somebody stole it. And under current Illinois State law, i would likely be off the hook. Richard pearson is the executive director of the illinois rifle association. Hes against the proposed law and thinks superintendent mccarthy is trying to erode the rights of gun owners. We feel the people in the city of chicago are really just trying to get at our rights, trying to chip away at them. Theyre not asking a lot for a gun owner to report that his or her gun was stolen. If they dont report it, theyre punished. If they dont know it was stolen, they have to defend themselves in court. You think the superintendent of the Chicago Police is trying to erode gun owners rights . Absolutely. No question. That doesnt make sense, does it . Yes, it does. You have to remember where he came from he came from new york. Superintendent mccarthy because he came from new york cant be trusted . Yes. Why . Those people are deeply effected by the Brady Campaign and who are antigun group. Who are those people . People from particularly new york, the chicago suburbs. Save chicago. That sounds a little bit paranoid, that theres i dont think its paranoid. I think its fact. We have watched this over the years. Thats not gun control. Thats not saying you cant buy your gun. All thats saying is you have to let us know where it is. Superintendent mccarthy said hes only looking for Common Sense Solutions for what has become an epidemic in his city. In 2013, chicago has already seen more than 50 shootings, 14 homicides, and 180 guns confiscated off the streets. Some breaking news to report on our lead story this mornings shooting at a high school in kern county. Just moments ago, the local sheriff spoke to reporters about what might have motivated the 16yearold alleged shooter. He said the student felt bullied by his alleged target. He said the teen will eventually be charged with attempted murder. We have more breaking news. The flu crossing the epidemic threshold. We talked to dr. Sanjay gupta about the high death toll expected. This was the hole my waist was on. But since ive been on alli, am i on this one . Nope. Am i on this one . No, no, no, no, no. I am on this one.

Pass down something he will be grateful for. Thats the power of german engineering. Back to you. Welcome back. We have breaking medical news tonight. The flu outbreak that has been spreading so fast now qualifies as an epidemic according to the National Institute of health. Heres what he just told cnn. If you look at the charts that the cdc put out on their website, it clearly has gone above that threshold, so were into what would classically be described as a flu epidemic. Its still on the uptick, and usually when youre above that baseline in the flu season, you stay there for about 12 weeks. Were right now at about week five or so. So we still have a way to go. Long way to go, its expected to be the worst flu season in years. More than half of the states already reporting widespread t outbreaks and officials are saying the cases theyre seeing are more severe than last year. Emergency rooms across the country are overflowing. Boston has declared a Public Health emergency. At least 2,000 people have been hospitalized. At least two people have died from the flu, and the center for Disease Control is going to release new numbers tomorrow. They priblth more than 50,000 may die from the flu this season. I spoke to dr. Sanjay gupta, starting with the news that the flu is now at an epidemic level. That means we expect a certain amount of flu cases, patients to have the flu in any certain year, and right now, we have exceeding that threshold. Thats more cases than we would normally expect of flu at this time of year. The big question is it going to stay high . Is it going to remain at epidemic proportions . Or is it going to trail off . I was just on a plane and people were coughing. I feel like i have flu spores in my lungs that are going to expand. I got a flu shot yesterday, but it wont take effect for another couple weeks, right . Im glad you got the flu shot. Ill take some credit for that, i think, but it takes a couple weeks for the immunity to build up. And this is an important point because people may get sick in between. After they get the flu shot, before they are fully protected, and their body, and they think the flu shot gave them the flu. Thats not the case. But how long if you inhale a flu spore, how long before it actually becomes the flu . That can also take a little bit of time. It can take up to a couple weeks for that as well. Oh, really, wow . It may be hard to trace your steps back and figure out where exactly you got it. You feel like you may have gotten it over the last couple days, but its very hard to figure that out. You have to assume the flu virus is everywhere, in the air, on surfaces. You know you touch your hand to your face at least a couple hundred times a day, inadvertently, everybody does. Thats incredible. Thats why besides getting the flu shot, you say to wash your hands regularly, which i have been doing a lot of. I almost feel silly saying that over and over again with all that we know in medicine and technology, but it remains a very good way to do it, and with soap and water, wash your hands for two happy birthday songs. If someone is sick right now, what is the best way to treat them . How do you know if you should go to the doctor about it . Doesnt the doctor just basically say drink fluids . Thats right. Theyre highly priced people who say drink fluids. Thats going to be the message for a lot of people. Stay home, get rest. Allow your immune system to build up. Make sure you dont get dihydrated. Its going to be that simple for the vast majority of people. By the way, when you and i were in afghanistan a couple years ago, you looked sick enough that you should have gone to a doctor. It can happen to just about anybody. I dont think you told me that at the time, anyway, thats water under the bridge. I couldnt tell if you looked pale or not. I always look pale. I always look sickly and pale. Sanjay, i have talked to a lot of people who say, look, they dont want to get a flu shot. They dont believe in these kind of shots. They think it gives them a little bit of the flu. To them, you say what . Let me be clear on the first point. You cannot get the flu from a flu shot. Period, paragraph, and i hate to be so dogmatic about it, but this is one of those common questions i get as a medical reporter. Its a dead virus in the flu shot. It cant give you the flu, but there are a couple caveats. First of all, its about 60 effective. There are going to be people who get the flu despite having had a shot. They didnt get it from the shot, they just werent 100 protected. Also, as we were talking about, it takes about two weeks to build up your immunity, you could get the flu in that period. Also, when you get the shot, the whole point of the shot is to ramp up your immune system to recognize that virus if it ever comes back again. And while your immune system is ramped up, you might feel cruddy for a couple days. One more point, and you can tell im pretty passionate about it, one more point is if you get the flu shot and still get the flu, mau may still have gotten some benefits from this. Your symptoms may be milder than they otherwise would have been if you didnt get the flu shot. So look, i dont recommend a lot of medications, a lot of things you should put into your body, but this is one of the best ways we know to protect ourselves. As you point out, tens of thousands of people die from the flu every year. And its not too late to get the flu shot. Sanjay, appreciate it. Thank you. Anytime, anderson.

For more than a year, hes been our voice of the syrian revolution. Hes been on the program more than a dozen times and always insisted we use his real name. Police arrested zaidoun and his brother. His family believed they were taken to a facility in damascus used for torture and abuse. For weeks, we tried to keep the spotlight on zaidouns story. We wanted to make sure his voice was still heard. When we heard he was released yesterday, we were overjoyed. We didnt have a direct hand in his release, we just made sure his name wasnt forgotten. His brother is still being held and so many others are still being held, and we wont forget them either. I spoke with zaidoun a short time ago. I want to say on behalf of everyone at cnn were so thrilled and relieved youre back home. How are you feeling . How are you doing . Im fine. Im overwhelmed with the support i got from you guys, cnn, great job. Really great effect. I wasnt tortured. I was dealt with really respectfully. Because of the campaign you made, guys. I lost around 35 or 40 pounds, i got sick inside. I was almost dead. Because theres no medicine. But there are i dont know, 300,000 more or more people inside. We were 91 persons in a small room, only maybe 15 foot by 20 foot. 91 people in a room that small . Yeah. It was no oxygen. It was a factory for madness and death. A factory for madness and death . Yes. I have heard many horror stories. I cannot imagine what happens inside. Its not the physical torture. Im not talking about that. Im talking about the torture of souls. People are losing mind inside because of, theres no food, you cant sleep, theres no medicine. People are there for no reason. My brother is there for only one mistake that he is my brother. Thats why he was arrested and hes still being held . Hes still inside there just because hes my brother. We have talked often over the last more than a year, and you insisted on using your name. Was there a moment did you ever regret that . Do you regret . Never, not for a single second. Never. I feel more responsible now. We all talk about the people who are killed every day, but no one is talking about those people who are inside these detention centers, these horror places. We should all unite. I think not only for the people in syria now, now i understand more. Now im more committed to people. Im feeling more committed to any kid who is oppressed in the world. There is the power of life in the face of death. Peace in face of war. We should all come together and fight dictatorship. How were you taken . It was just like a draft. Someone called me and said she was a girl, and she was detained by them. They asked her to call me, i came to a cafe, and all of a sudden, i find seven people a armed who took me along with six other guys, who had nothing to do with the revolution. They are still inside. What is it like . You said you escaped the grave. What is it like to be, you know, to be taken . To be bundled into a car . To hear that door locking behind you . I was really afraid when i was taken. I was really looking at my brother. Tears were coming out of my eyes. You know, what i find heroic about you and others who speak out is not that you do not have fear, but its that you experience fear just like everybody else but that doesnt stop you from continuing to speak out. And even now, you are speaking out. Do you worry you could be arrested again . Yes. Of course, i am. The story hasnt ended. Zaidoun, well continue to focus on your brother and all the others who have been detained, and all the others who have simply disappeared, and im glad youre back with your family. And please stay safe and thank you for talking. Thank you very much, anderson. Up next, the luckiest day of one mans life turned out to be one of his last. The latest twist in the Poisoning Death of a lottery winner. Who did it . Can orencia help . Could your i want become i can . Talk to your doctor. Orencia reduces many ra symptoms like pain, morning stiffness and progression of joint damage. Its helped new ra patients and those not helped enough by other treatments.

In crime and punishment tonight, a man who won a Million Dollars on a scratchoff Lottery Ticket died before he could enjoy his winnings. His death was ruled a homicide. He was poisoned and the question is who did it . This is the story of how a simple scratch may have killed a man. He moved to chicago from india in the late 1980s and became an american success, eventually owning a string of dry cleaners and real estate, settling into this house on the citys far north side with his wife and teenage daughter. By all accounts, he was a hard working, well liked man. With just one weakness. He loved those scratchoff Lottery Tickets. He was heavy on that, you know. There was a time that he would buy a whole roll, 30 tickets, thats 600. He would win, sometimes hundreds, even thousands. Then last june, he bought two tickets and scratched off a fortune. The second one was the lucky one. And what did he win . A Million Dollars. A whole million. He was all smiles in this illinois lottery picture. Friends say he was excited about the good he could do with all that money. But a month later, instead of living on easy street, he was dead in the rose hill cemetery. On the evening on july 20th, his wife said she made dinner at home, and he went to bed less than an hour later. She said she was awakened by his screams of agony. He was rushed to a neighbor hospit nearby hospital, but it was too late. He was pronounced dead. Doctors say the 46yearold died of natural causes. Later that week, an urgent call came into the Cook County Medical Examiners Office from a concerned relative. This person must have made a compelling case. This was serious enough to order a full battery of toxicology, including unusual agents such as strychnine. Both deadly poisons. So acting on the callers information, Lab Technicians retested khans blood and discovered an old killer. When it came back in midnovember, it was in the lethal range for cyanide. I called up science journalist debra blum, author of the poisoners handbook. She said cyanide is a horrible way to go. Theyll talk about the scream, almost an involuntary contraction of your muscles. Its almost a trademark of cyanide . It absolutely is. How did the poison get into k hrk an, and who could have been responsible . The answers may rest in khans stomach. Its one reason the medical examiner wants his body exhumed. One of the things you would clearly focus on is what was the last meal or the last food consumed. Would that be of interest . Any autopsy looks at the gastric contents. In this case, we would be looking at the gastric content, but thats part of any forensic taept. Khans widow is 32 years old and shes now inside running the family business. I acted her for an interview, but she said shes simply not rea ready to talk. She did tell me that she and her husband were very much in love and that she supports the exhumation of his body, hoping it will reveal the truth, but Court Documents suggest all is not so well between khans widow and his siblings. They paint a picture deeply divided over the control of khans estate, especially his lottery winners, which after taxes came to about 4 sg50,000. Today, no arrests have been made in his murder, but in his neighborhood, rumors spread and fingers point as a deadly duo may have struck one once more on chicagos north side. Grief and poison. If its truly murder, it gets to the point where i believe when they say money is the root of all evil, it is true. Martin savidge, cnn, chicago. Skroord story. A lot more stories were following now.

The latest to join the battle is none other than farrah abraham. Thats her 3yearold daughter who according to farrah had an unsightly unibrow. She called it a standout historical moment in motherhood. She said, quote, so i tried to wax her. The second a dab hit the uni, she touched it with a towel she had in her hand. Sow no wax was in the towel and i yanked it back asap, but fuzz was not stuck to the wax, stuck to her uni, so now shes freaking out and i had to ask like it was a cool science project to get the wax off . Im not sure what is happening now, but all i can sort of gather is the waxing didnt seem to go well. Fear not, mom persevered. Quote, sophia feel a sleep. I got my tweezers and pluck, pluck, pluck. Soap was now saying ouch or anything and still was asleep. I got most of it off and then finally she woke up. Ah, i feel like a good mom. Smiley. Yeah. What a good mom. Those are exactly the words i was going to use to describe her. Farrah went on Good Morning America to defend her decision, not that she needed to, to pluck her 3yearolds eyebrows. What i said was hey, mommy is going to, you know, try to pluck your eyebrows because theres a little too much hair there. If i can help my daughter in little way by plucking a few hairs, i think i did something right. She is helping her daughter feel good about herself by telling her 3yearold unibrow is ugly.
