Moment 2 Dachshunds Reunite After Firefighters Rescue Them From Car Crash Is Everything
Traffic accidents can be frightening, regardless of who is involved. However, a car crash involving a pet is a pet owner's worst nightmare.
Unlike humans, pets are often not secured in vehicles as well, which can lead to more severe injuries in the event of an accident. Fortunately, most pet parents drive especially carefully with their furry friends in the car, but on March 19, officers in St. Paul, Minnesota, responded to the scene of a scary crash caused by a dog parent who was anything but careful.
Despite her car being found rolled over in the road, the crash briefly turned into a celebration when her two dogs were rescued from the car. The scared Dachshund dogs must have been so scared while trapped in the vehicle, but thanks to first responders, they are safe, uninjured, and in the right hands.
How scary! These pups could have been seriously hurt when the car hit a parked vehicle and flipped onto its side, but the only person injured was the driver. She was taken to the hospital for minor injuries before being booked in Ramsey County Jail for driving under the influence.Naturally, commenters are disgusted that someone would put their pets in harm's way like this. However, the overall theme of comments and replies is gratitude for the firefighters, paramedics, and police officers who responded to the call. Their care for the small dogs did not go unnoticed!
I agree wholeheartedly with the commenter Yena, who wrote, "If I ever get in this situation, please save my kids (dogs) first." Dogs may not be able to communicate a life-threatening injury, and it can take much longer to find emergency help for an animal. Dispatchers don't page veterinarians alongside paramedics!
This terrifying close call is a reminder that car safety for pets is essential. Please invest in a pet car seat, seat belt, or even backseat hammock to keep your dog secure while you're driving. You never know when it could save their life!

Former PCSO tried to build a gun using 3D printer
A former police community support officer with an 'obsession' for weapons tried to build a gun using a 3D printer. Zoe Watts, 38, was found with an 'arsenal' at her Lincoln home, with items including parts to make a semi automatic weapon, a machete and a crossbow. Watts, who previously served as a PCSO with Lincolnshire Police, was arrested during an armed operation on Dec 11. It came less than four years after she was previously jailed for possessing illegal weapons and manufacturing explosives in 2021. The latest charge related to Watts trying to make an FGC MK II Nutty semi automatic weapon, jurors at Lincoln Crown Court heard. Christopher Poole, a ballistics expert for the prosecution, said: 'It was the first in the UK seen of this variant.' Giving evidence, Mr Poole said 3D printed guns had become an emerging trend where individuals were circumventing firearms laws. He confirmed videos of similar weapons being discharged were readily available on YouTube, while jurors were shown footage of a similar weapon being discharged at a metal target in America. Jonathan Dee, prosecuting, explained the initials of the FGC MK II stood for 'F--- gun control'. When firearms experts tried to put the weapon together, it did not work, but Mr Dee insisted it would have become a 'lethal' prohibited weapon if made correctly. The 3D printer was found in a cupboard during a search of Watts' home along with many of the parts needed to make the FGC MK II Nutty, including a 'very short' steel barrel. Other items including a machete, bladed article, crossbow and bow were recovered from Watts' home. 'The defendant had an arsenal, we say this was part of it,' Mr Dee told the jury. Two days before the search, Mr Dee said Watts had put a search into Google asking: 'Has anybody been killed by a 3D printed gun?' And a day later, a search was made for the death of Brian Thompson, the chief executive of United Healthcare, who was fatally shot outside a hotel in New York, Mr Dee said. During her trial, Watts claimed she was actually making a 'fidget' toy gun as a Christmas present. Watts told the jury she had previously run a YouTube channel dedicated to 'survivalism' and bushcraft. But a jury at Lincoln Crown Court convicted her of the offence after a five-day trial. Judge Simon Hirst adjourned sentence until Aug 8 and remanded Watts back into custody. Watts was previously jailed for 27 months in July 2021 after she 'hoarded' banned weapons and explosive substances and also made an improvised explosive device. Police also found a stun gun, butterfly knives and an illegal electric fly-swatter during a raid in October 2020. On that occasion Watts had made an explosive device out of a modified shotgun cartridge. Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.

Couple identified as victims in deadly Las Vegas shooting allegedly over online dispute
The two people killed in a June 8 shooting on the Las Vegas strip have been identified as Rodney Finley, 44, and Tanisha Finley, 43, according to the Clark County coroner's office. The couple was shot around 10:40 p.m. local time near the Bellagio fountains, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said. Officers responded and rendered medical assistance, but both victims were pronounced dead at the scene, LVMPD Undersheriff Andrew Walsh said during a press conference. Investigators identified 41-year-old Manuel Ruiz as a suspect in the shooting. He turned himself in to authorities on June 9, LVMPD said in a release. He was charged with two counts of open murder with use of a deadly weapon. Walsh said during the press conference that the suspect, who has since been identified as Ruiz, and the two victims "had previously engaged in some type of conflict using a variety of social media platforms." In addition, Walsh acknowledged that there was reports circulating social media about the shooting and asked for anyone with information to contact officials. Rodney Finley was a prominent YouTube creator and may have had a conflict with Ruiz before the shooting, multiple local outlets including the Las Vegas Review-Journal, KLAS and 12News reported. The reports also said Ruiz has claimed self defense; USA TODAY has reached out to LVMPD for more information. According to a GoFundMe page organized by Tanisha Finley's brother, Rodney and Tanisha Finley had four kids together. One of the couple's children, Rakia Finley, told 12News that her parents "were literally soulmates." The GoFundMe said the couple's deaths "have left the family in deep mourning."
