FOX 2 defended their story in a statement posted on their website: “We were taken aback by the number and nature of many inappropriate Facebook comments on the governor's physical appearance. We chose not to ignore the comments, and to instead examine them through person-on-the-street interviews and an expert’s opinion on the double standard faced by female leaders. This is not a subject that should be turned away from, and we have extended an invitation to the governor to talk to us about this further.” #CNN #News

Suspected gunman in custody, 4 officers hurt in Aurora shooting | CNN breaking news
The suspected shooter in Aurora, Illinois, has been apprehended and police officers and civilians are among those hurt in a shooting at a manufacturing business, officials said.
Four police officers were injured as were a "number of civilians," Ward 4 Alderman Bill Donnell told CNN, citing Deputy Mayor Chuck Nelson.
Some patients from the shooting were sent to Mercy Medical Center and Rush Copley Medical Center, according to Mercy spokeswoman Olga Solares.
It was unclear how many patients there were and their conditions, she said.
A spokesman for the city, Clayton Muhammad, said the four officers' conditions were stable.
Police responded to an active shooter situation at the Henry Pratt Company, authorities said.
Aerial video from the scene showed scores of police vehicles outside the company. The response included at least six ambulances and six fire trucks.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and FBI are responding to the scene, the agencies tweeted.

Nearby village Locana is offering up to $10,200 💰 over three years to families willing to make the mountainous village home. “There are dozens of closed shops, bars, restaurants and boutiques just waiting for new people to run them,” said Locana’s mayor.

A bookseller in southern Italy is offering books 📚 to children who bring in a plastic bottle and an aluminum can to recycle. Michele Gentile, who founded a bookshop in Polla, a small town near Salerno, said he wants to encourage kids to read while also helping the environment. The idea for the initiative came to Gentile when he realized that metallic waste could be traded for money, and in turn pay for kid’s books. “Imagine if this becomes a small game: Every child in the world swaps a plastic bottle and a can for books,” he said. “I know it’s just a dream, but why not do it?” (📸: Michele Gentile)

A bonsai thief stole seven trees worth more than $118,000 near Tokyo last month, including a star of the bonsai world: a rare 400-year-old shimapaku tree (pictured above) which was due to be entered in a competition this month. Fuyumi Iimura, the wife of the bonsai master who crafted the trees, likened the experience to “having your limbs lopped off.” She said the couple wants their bonsais to be returned, but if they aren’t she just wants them to be taken care of. “I want whoever took the bonsais to make sure they are watered. The shimpaku lived for 400 years. It needs care and can’t survive a week without water,” said Iimura. (📸: Fuyimi Iimura/Bonsai Kirakuen)

Facing a backlash from members of the community, Amazon said it is ditching plans to build a new headquarters in New York. The company said that “a number of state and local politicians have made it clear that they oppose our presence and will not work with us to build the type of relationships that are required to go forward with the project we and many others envisioned in Long Island City.” Amazon had selected New York and Northern Virginia to split duty as its second headquarters, nicknamed HQ2, after a yearlong search. The company plans to move forward with its office expansions in Virginia as well as Nashville, where it is building a new hub. (📸: Stephanie Keith/Getty Images)
