5 Things To Know For Your New Day — Wednesday, October 7
OREGON SHOOTING
Writings: The gunman in the Oregon college shooting had a developmental disorder, and his mother railed against gun control. That’s the information that can be gleaned from online postingsreportedly made by the killer’s mother. Laurel Harper, in postings on Yahoo and other sites, blasts states with strict gun laws and says that both she and her son have Asperger’s syndrome, considered to be on the high-functioning end of the autism spectrum. Police are aware of Harper’s postings and said she’s part of the investigation, just like anyone else close to the gunman.
SOUTH CAROLINA FLOODS
Suffering: The sun came out in South Carolina yesterday, but the state’s water woes are far from over. Dam breaks are still a concern. Residents in hard-hit cities like Columbia may be without running water for days. Miles of roadway are either damaged from the floods or closed. Oh, and some rivers still haven’t crested yet. Gov. Nikki Haley said yesterday that although the sunny weather was a “good sign,” the state still needed to be cautious. “The next 36 to 48 hours are going to be a time that we need to continue to be careful,” she said.
SUNKEN SHIP
Questions: Why was the cargo ship El Faro out in the middle of the Caribbean when a hurricane was roaming about? That’s the question the owners of the now-lost ship were asked — repeatedly — yesterday during a news conference. They said the ship’s captain had a “sound plan” to avoid Hurricane Joaquin. But when the ship’s main propulsion failed, the El Faro was left stranded in Joaquin’s path. So far, no survivors from El Faro have been found.
