Promised Land: A 16-year-old Palestinian boy was among four Palestinians killed yesterday trying to carry out stabbing attacks on Israelis. One of the attackers was wounded trying to stab a police officer. When an officer tried to help the injured attacker, he pulled out a second knife and then was shot again and killed.

In the past month eight Israelis have been killed in the stabbing attacks and 19 of the Palestinian assailants have been killed. Many of the attackers come from East Jerusalem where the residents are frustrated about their land being carved up by Israeli settlers. They feel boxed in, pushed around, and ignored by both the Israeli government and their own Palestinian Authority.

Narcos: The Mexican drug lord Joaquin Guzman, known as “El Chapo,” who escaped prison through an underground tunnel in July, is injured and on the run after an attempt to re-capture him, authorities say. They report that Guzman was injured on his face and one leg, but they don’t say how.

Guzman escaped prison through a precision-engineered tunnel dug from a mile away right up through the floor of his shower stall. The tunnel was equipped with a motorcycle on tracks for a quick getaway.

Survivor: Christopher Mintz, the Army veteran shot five times trying to help fellow students during the Roseburg, Oregon college shooting has written on Facebook that the gunman “was so nonchalant through it all, like he was playing a video game and showed no emotion.”

Mintz wrote that after helping some students escape he returned to classrooms where the gunman popped out of a door. Mintz wrote, “The shots knocked me to the ground and felt like a truck hit me. He shot me again while I was on the ground and hit my finger, and said ‘that’s what you get for calling the cops.’”

Mintz was shot five times, the bullets breaking both legs and just missing his aorta. Mintz wrote, “I yelled ‘its my kids birthday man’ he pointed the gun right at my face and then he retreated back into the class. I’m still confused at why he didn’t shoot me again.”
