"Twelve indicted in sex trafficking ring" by RUSS BYNUM | Associated Press, January 18, 2013
SAVANNAH, Ga. — Federal authorities said Thursday they have uncovered a sex trafficking network that forced women into prostitution and traded them like slaves among cities in Georgia, Florida, and the Carolinas.
Eight men and four women were indicted in US District Court in Savannah. Prosecutors said they had acted since 2008 as a network of pimps who lured dozens of women to the United States from Mexico and Central America and forced them to work as prostitutes in homes, hotel rooms, and mobile home parks. Some were forced to commit up to 30 sex acts daily, officials said.
Authorities said they rescued 11 women, most from Mexico and Nicaragua, who were used as sex slaves. They are getting help while assisting prosecutors, officials said.

"Armed officer ends school shooting" by Kate Brumback | Associated Press, February 01, 2013
ATLANTA — A student opened fire at his middle school Thursday afternoon, wounding a 14-year-old in the neck before an armed officer at the school was able to get the gun away, police said.
NRA was right after being laughed at.

Shots were fired in the Price Middle School courtyard, just south of downtown around 1:50 p.m. and the boy was hit, police Chief George Turner said. In the aftermath, a teacher received minor cuts.
The victim was taken “alert, conscious, and breathing” to Grady Memorial Hospital, said police spokesman Carlos Campos. He was expected to be released Thursday night.
Students were kept at the locked-down school more than two hours before dismissal.
Investigators believe the shooting was not random and that something occurred between the two students.
“The obvious question is how did this get past a metal detector?” Superintendent Erroll Davis asked about the gun.
And was the kid on any SSRIs?

Haven't seen anything since on those stories, and that in and of itself is strange and a tell.
