Christmas Eve attack: Pit bull attack left a woman dead and a man injured

A pair of pit bulls killed a woman and injured her husband on Christmas Eve at their Kentucky home.

Sheriff's deputies in Bell County, Ky., said Lorraine Brock Saylor suffered severe injuries and was dead at the scene Sunday morning. Her husband Johnny Saylor found her in front of their house after he had been attacked by the two dogs.

Deputies said the incident occurred near the southern Kentucky town of Arjay, about 125 miles southeast of Lexington.

The sheriff's department said Johnny Saylor was searching for his wife — who often wakes up before him — after he awoke Sunday. He stepped out onto the front porch, where the dogs attacked him and tried to pull him to the ground.

The dogs released him after his brother came out and shouted at the animals. Johnny Saylor retrieved a .22-caliber pistol from inside his house and went back outside, where he shot one of the dogs in the chest as it jumped at him. The dog ran from the scene.

He found his wife lying on the ground In front of the house. The second pit bull was nearby, so "fearing for his life," the husband shot and killed the dog, the sheriff's department said.

Deputies responded to the scene about 10:20 a.m. Johnny Saylor was taken to a hospital, where he was treated for injuries to his arm and head.

Local animal control said it is searching for the injured pit bull that was shot.

The owner of the dogs, Johnny Dale Lankford, 42, had been in a local detention center after being charged Friday with domestic violence and unlawful imprisonment. He now faces another charge of harboring a vicious animal, the sheriff's department said.

Christmas Day shootings Left Mom, 2 children dead and a police officer injured

A woman and her two children were killed and a police officer was injured in Christmas Day shootings at a Phoenix apartment complex, police said.

A man who had a relationship with the woman was taken into custody after a hours-long standoff Monday night after exchanging gunfire with officers, a Phoenix police spokesman said. The man did not appear to be injured.

The woman's body was found outside an apartment at Highland Apartments. The two children, approximately 10 months and 11 years old, were found dead inside, said Sgt. Jonathan Howard, a Phoenix police spokesman. All three were shot, Howard said.

Howard said it's possible all three were killed Monday afternoon, as the man told police negotiators that he had killed the children. However, in hopes that one or both of the children were alive, police allowed negotiations for the man's surrender to continue for hours, Howard said.

Shortly after 10 p.m. MST, it became evident to police that the younger child was dead, and tactical units used an explosion to distract the gunman and enter the apartment. Gunfire rang out. After entering the apartment, police discovered the 11-year-old also had been killed.

Howard said the gunman was from out of town and was in Phoenix visiting for Christmas. Howard said police did not yet know the motive for the killings.

The police officer, who was injured by shrapnel, was taken to a hospital in stable condition, Howard said.

Police characterized the shootings as domestic violence but did not immediately confirm the family relationships.
Standoff lasts more than six hours

The shooting occurred at an upscale apartment complex near the Biltmore area in central northeast Phoenix.

After police and fire units responded to the afternoon shooting call, the gunman remained barricaded inside the apartment with the children for more than six hours.

Three loud pops rang out at the complex shortly after 10 p.m.

The man began shooting at the officers when they discovered the children's bodies, Howard said.

Several officers returned fire and the man was taken into custody, Howard said.

As police worked, residents waited
For hours, residents and visitors inside the complex were not allowed to leave and those waiting to return to their homes were not allowed in.

Power was cut to the complex about 7:30 p.m., and residents near the apartment were escorted out by police SWAT team members.

As the standoff passed the five-hour mark, about a half-dozen residents clustered outside the QuikTrip across the street. Some wondered whether they should check into a hotel for the night; others wondered about their dogs left locked inside their apartments.

Kristen Alexander, 26, had been sitting in a parking lot since 4:15 p.m. after arriving home from a trip to Ohio.

"I'm terrified of who our neighbors are," said Alexander, who, with her lab, got a police escort back to her apartment.

These Are The Popular Christmas Decoration That Has Babies And Pets Being Rushed To The Hospital

True story: I was working the other day and decided to light one of my beloved Bath and Body Works holiday candles that I’d just scored during their huge seasonal sale. For the first few minutes, I reveled in the awesome, spiced-apple scent while working on the day’s assignments.

But after a few minutes, I started coughing uncontrollably and I felt so lightheaded. As I tried to think of what could be causing it, my eyes wandered to the candle and it hit me — this thing was making me sick. I put the candle out and after about 20 minutes, I felt totally fine. That’s when I knew I had to start researching side-effects of using scented candles. If you’re anything like my candle-loving self, you’re about to be so disappointed in what I found.

While your favorite candles may smell good to you, their chemical makeup could be making you sick. According to MCS-America, most fragranced products contain anywhere from 3,000 to 5,000 different chemicals. Even more alarming is the idea that despite the U.S. National Academy of Science have declared that fragrances should undergo neurotoxicity testing, most of the products on the market have not undergone testing to make sure that they’re safe for humans.

Many of these chemicals have also been identified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) as being potentially hazardous. What makes scented candles so horrible for humans is the exhaust given off by these candles. The exhaust is regularly adding harmful toxins into your home, oftentimes without our knowing. Scented candles are made from paraffin, which is a petroleum-based product.

When burned, aroma-therapy candles can be even more dangerous than your basic scented three-wick. In a 2009 report from South Carolina State University, lead researcher and chemistry professor Dr. Ruhullah Massoudi addressed the risks surrounding candles containing paraffins. “For a person who lights a candle every day for years or just uses them frequently, inhalation of these dangerous pollutants drifting in the air could contribute to the development of health risks like cancer, common allergies, and even asthma.”

Paraffin candles can also be as dangerous to your lungs as second-hand smoke and often times contain the same toxic by-products found in diesel exhaust.

The exhaust given off from aroma-therapy candles can contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as toluene, acetone, and benzene. According to the USEPA’s Toxicology Data Network benzene is known as a human carcinogen, while the other two compounds have large levels of human toxicity.

Candles with more fragrance, like those found at Bath and Body Works or Yankee Candle, are also said to produce more soot, according to a 2001 study performed by the EPA. The same study also mentioned the cancer risks associated with benzene, toluene, and acetone.

In more severe cases of interactions with chemicals found in scented candles, a person may become severely ill from what doctors refer to as Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS).

A person with MCS may become gravely ill after exposure to the vapors and airborne chemicals given off by the scented candles or fragrance products. Their illness is so severe, that the patient must isolate themselves from society for periods of time to avoid reactions to chemical exposure.

But human lungs aren’t the only ones at risk thanks to your favorite scented candles. Your pet’s health could be in danger, too.

compounds that are toxic for humans to breathe in are doubly as potent for our pets. In addition to benzene, compounds such as Carbon Tetrachloride and lead are often found in the scented wax of many candles or the composition of the candle wicks. All three of these compounds can prove deadly for your cat.

The concentration of these emissions can linger in the air for up to 10 hours after the candle has been lit, increasing the odds of your pet being exposed.

I feel so, so bad that I’d been exposing myself, my loved ones, and my pup to such awful chemicals without even knowing! Needless to say, I went ahead and returned all of the other candles I bought this year. Well, better late than never I guess.

Skeptical Six-Year-Old Destroys Santa In The Most Savage Christmas Letter

We’ve all met that one child who has very real questions about the feasibility of Santa Claus. This is especially true for children who are not being raised in the Christian faith or even children who happen to reside in homes that do not have a chimney. Some parents will work hard to maintain the illusion. Others are happy to let their children make their own choices on the matter.

The latter scenario can be a nightmare for families that have more than one child. It is perfectly okay for one child to be a skeptic, but they will often go out of their way to spoil the holiday for others in their family. The child in this story decided to send their skepticism straight to the source by writing a letter to Santa himself.

The best part of the letter is that the child makes it abundantly clear that they are only writing it because they were given the assignment by their teacher. The child lets Santa know that their naughty list does not have any names on it and that their nice list does not have any names on it. As a final parting shot, he tells Santa that his life is as empty as those lists.

We aren’t going to lie to you, but “I’m not telling you my name” took us right out. Of course, once the letter was shared on Twitter, there had to be some people who took the worrywart approach. Some wondered if the boy needed antidepressants. In our humble opinion, there is nothing wrong with a little bit of healthy skepticism.

If you would like to check out the awesome story of a pitbull who DOES believe in Santa, then we urge you to take a closer look at the video below. As for the parents of skeptics, don’t force your little ones to believe against their will. They may develop a terrifying Christmas related phobia and that is the last thing that any of us should ever want.

Trump Holiday-themed MAGA Selling As A Christmas accessory

'Tis the season to drop $45.00 on one more festively red Donald Trump hat. Haven't you heard?

In yet another noble effort to Make America Great Again (🙄 ), Trump released a special holiday edition of his signature headwear. It features colorful lights on the front, boasts a few of Trump's favorite words ("Merry Christmas") on the back, and is very, very unnecessary.

Still, here it is ... for sale.

Like Trump's other MAGA hats, the Christmas-themed swag was "Proudly Made in USA." But according to the president's online shop, this exclusive cap costs almost twice as much as a regular hat because it will help you properly celebrate the season.

The GOP is so jazzed about the new merch that it tweeted a stunning video to show the cap off from all angles, with the caption, "Make Christmas Great Again," of course.

And according to the buzz online, people are thrilled that this gift option exists in the world. Thrilled. No complaints at all. Not one.

Everyone knows Trump is a huge fan of saying "Merry Christmas" and is extremely dismayed people have cut down using the phrase out of a belief it's "not politically correct." So buying this $45.00 hat is probably the best Christmas present you could give the guy.

Just remember, if you want the swag by Christmas you must order by Dec. 20.
