Today in CNN I read that a women was killed while she called 911. the police didn’t show up till about 48 minutes later where her fiancĂ© had found her. She was in college because she wanted to be a doctor. While she was being attacked she was on the phone with 911 while all this was happening. Police said they could hear her screams and yells as she was being attacked. Her name was Brittany Zimmerman. The dispatcher claimed to have heard nothing but the tape shows there was screams of her being attacked. Zimmerman had been stabbed multiple times in her chest, near her heart. She'd also been beaten and strangled, according to warrants released recently. Police are still looking for her killer.
I think the police could have acted quicker than 48 minutes, I mean what where they doing that was so important that they had to show up almost an hour late. That’s why sometimes they are multiple murderers on the loose because are so lazy. They could have saved their donuts till after.

In recent news according to sign on San Diego. The story was a story that proves the myth of the Bermuda Triangle. The pilot of a plane that disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle with 11 passengers aboard had only a U.S. student pilot license and should have never been allowed to fly. The man had gotten his license taken away because he was caught flying multiengine planes when he was only authorized to fly helicopters. A few weeks before he had a minor accident while landing a small plane at a Dominican airport. The pilot had sent an emergency signal about 35 minutes after takeoff and then disappeared from the radar. The triangle is a region of the northwestern Atlantic Ocean in which a number of aircraft and surface vessels have disappeared or are alleged to have disappeared. The disappearances fall beyond the boundaries of human error or acts of nature.

The article I read this morning was about an alligator that was found inside a home. The alligator was the people’s pet. The reason that the alligator was found is because authorities raided the house because the people that live there were drug dealers. Authorities found 50 pounds of marijuana and 50 pounds of cocaine. They also found valuable things that they believe were giving to the drug dealers in trading for drugs. The neighbors of the people didn’t even know themselves that these people had random stuff like the alligator in their home. The home was in Alton, Illinois. The alligator was 7 feet long.
I think that the people that had this animal in there home are crazy. I wonder what they had the alligator there if for protection or just to have it as a pet. I hope that the alligator is in good conditions because if not they could get charged for whatever is wrong with the poor animal.
An interesting fact that I read was that not even the neighbor knew that they had an alligator as a pet next door.
