Whoa:

"Salman Rushdie is attacked onstage in Western New York.

The author Salman Rushdie, who spent years in hiding and under police protection after Iranian officials called for his execution, was attacked and stabbed in the neck on Friday while onstage in Chautauqua, near Erie in western New York, the state police said.

The attack happened at about 11 a.m., shortly after Mr. Rushdie took the stage to deliver a lecture at the Chautauqua Institution, a community in western New York that offers arts and literary programming during the summer."

Heard about this from my BIL, who lives close to where this horrible accident happened:

"A Los Angeles County district attorney charged a traveling nurse from Houston, Texas, with six counts of murder and five counts gross vehicular manslaughter Monday after she allegedly caused a horrifying crash last week.

Nicole Linton appeared in Los Angeles County District court to hear the charges brought against her, according to CBS LA:"
