A 14-year-old girl in Wisconsin has been charged with attempted murder for allegedly cutting another teen’s throat, NBC News reported. 

The attack happened in the town of New Richmond on Wednesday. The victim survived. 

The attacker allegedly rode her bike to the 15-year-old victim’s house and broke bowls over her head, using the shards as knives.

According to court documents, the attacker told her victim she was a psychopath committing her first kill and that she would likely kill again. She allegedly asked the victim if she wanted to “die now” or “bleed out.” 

The 14-year-old is being held in the county’s juvenile jail, according to police. NBC News is not identifying her because of her age.

The co-founder of Autism Speaks and wife of a former NBC CEO, Suzanne Wright, died Friday afternoon in her Fairfield, Connecticut, home, the organization's website said. 

"Suzanne sparked a global conversation with one question: How can we help people with autism live their best possible lives?" Autism Speaks Chairman of the Board of Directors Brian Kelly and CEO Angela Geiger said in a joint statement.

"Persuading the world to see the potential in each child and adult on the vast autism spectrum is her greatest legacy."

Wright and her husband, Bob, co-founded Autism Speaks in 2005 after their grandson, Christian, was diagnosed. 

The New York-native helped create the iconic puzzle-piece logo that is now recognized worldwide to represent autism and persuaded the United nations to establish April 2 as World Autism Awareness Day, according to the organization's website. 

Bob and Suzanne married in 1967, while her husband was still in law school at the University of Virginia School of Law. In 1986, he was named president and CEO of NBC where he remained at the helm for 22 years. 

A high school Spanish teacher who pleaded guilty to having sex with a student was sentenced to 2 years in jail on Friday.

On June 18, Toni Sutton, 38, admitted to two counts of unlawful sexual intercourse and one count of oral copulation with a minor.

Sutton, a Spanish teacher and volleyball coach at Crawford High School was arrested in January for having a sexual relationship with a 16-year old student. The victim’s parent contacted police after discovering inappropriate text messages between Sutton and the student.

During Friday’s sentencing, the victim’s mother became emotional reading a letter from her son.

“I don’t know how to feel. I don’t whether to be angry or sad,” Loretta read in court. “My whole life has been turned upside down since this happened.”

She went on to say that her son was not the outgoing person he had been before. and that he blamed himself for what happened.

“I thought that I could trust this teacher with my son but I was wrong,” Loretta told the Judge on Friday.

Loretta says although Sutton was only sentenced to two years in prison, she’s happy that justice was served.

“I probably would never forgive but I hope she gets the help she needs so it doesn’t happen to another child,” she told NBC 7.

Loretta also advised other parents to pay more attention to their kids’ social media and to listen to them.

“You know, maybe they’re trying to tell you something but in everyday life, we’re so busy to where we could hear what our children say but we’re not listening,” she said.

Sutton was also ordered to register as a sex offender for the rest of her life.

Two social media powerhouses joined together for a business lunch at Facebook's Menlo Park headquarters on Thursday, no doubt striking a few business deals, comparing notes on the best brands of dog food, and arguing over who really is the internet's favorite dog. 

The dress code was, ahem, collar optional. 

Beast Zuckerberg, sporting a professional top-knot (or is it a dogbun?), invited social media star Doug the Pug for a sit down chat. The meeting's minutes and agenda were not released to the public, so there's no way to know for sure what the pooches were plotting. 

However, a photograph Beast's personal assistant, Mark Zuckerberg, posted to Facebook does provide some hints: 

"Apparently Beast had an important meeting at the office today with Doug the Pug," Zuckerberg wrote on Facebook. "They agree that Facebook needs more kibble and belly rubs. Beast also wants some sheep."

After their clandestine luncheon, Doug the Pug used his vast social media following to share a picture of the new business buddies, although Doug couldn't help throwing a little shade in the process.

Beast has yet to respond to this potential dig via his personal Facebook.

The grim events in San Diego’s Southcrest area Thursday night are all-too-fresh evidence of how risky police work can be.

The city has now lost 33 officers in the line of duty, dating back to 1913.

Jonathan DeGuzman’s shooting death during a traffic stop was the department’s first on-duty fatality in nearly five years.

Coming as it did in the wake of deadly police ambushes in Baton Rouge and Dallas, there's concern among those in uniform about a recent uptick in police casualties becoming "the new normal".

“These things have to stop,” said retired SDPD Sgt. Bill Nemec, former president of the San Diego Police Officers Association. “These activists who are calling for the death of police officers -- we have to stop this kind of talk. This has gone beyond rhetoric."

Nemec was on the force to see more than half of the city's officers who have been killed on duty buried.

Between 1977 and 1985, ten officers died in the line of duty, ten by gunfire, prompting speculation that San Diego's finest maybe were too "laid-back".

Before long, a series of fatal shootings on the part of officers raised concerns about an unspoken "no more Mister Nice Guy" approach in the ranks.

Now, decades later, law enforcement has been coming in the crosshairs more frequently, with 34 peace officers nationwide shot to death so far this year -- versus 42 for all of 2015.

“The men and women get into law enforcement knowing the risks that they'll face, on a somewhat regular basis, unfortunately,” retired Chula Vista police captain Gary Wedge said.

“But they never fully appreciate that 'it could happen to me',” Wedge added. “When something like this happens, it reminds us in law enforcement how vulnerable we are. But what I also think tends to get lost in that is the support the community gives."

Law enforcement’s “top brass" fervently hope that people appreciate how quickly their badge-wearing protectors can become victims.

“[DeGuzman’s slaying] happened in just a matter of seconds,” Sheriff William Gore observed in an interview Friday. “And within a matter of seconds [the gunman] was able to shoot one officer in the throat and fatally wound another officer. And that happened in a split-second."

One scary, trending theme sounded by officers who routinely work the streets is how much mental illness is “out there” these days and if society doesn't get a better handle on it, more of them -- as well as the average citizen -- will be in harm's way.

"I don't think the officers nowadays have the support of the Justice Department,” Nemec told NBC 7. “And in some cases, local government has to step up. The officers are understaffed, they're overworked, and they're asked to do more and more."

Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine seemingly contradicted the assertion, made by Hillary Clinton's campaign and his own spokesperson, that he would work with the nominee on restoring Medicaid funding for abortion, NBC News reported.

Clinton has come out strongly in favor of repealing the Hyde Amendment, which bans public funding for abortion except in cases of rape, incest and life endangerment. The current Democratic platform contains the strongest language yet against Hyde.

In an interview with CNN Friday, Kaine said, "I have been for the Hyde Amendment. I haven't changed my position on that." He then repeated it: "I have not changed my position. Have not changed my position on that."

Hazmat was called to Coronado Naval Base Friday night for a gas leak, the naval base confirmed.

The leak started in building 472 but it's unclear at what time. The area was blocked off about 100 feet in every direction as a precaution.

People on the base were asked to close windows and doors and shelter-in-place.

It's unclear what caused the gas leak.

No other information was immediately available.

The Padres home run streak began after a 3-0 shutout in Cincinnati.

The Padres home run streaks ends after being shutout by Cincinnati.

After tying a National League record with the 1998 Atlanta Braves for most consecutive games with a home run, the Padres streak is over at 25-games.

Reds starter Brandon Finnegan shutout the Padres on just four hits over six-innings on his way to the win.

Third baseman Eugenio Suarez gave him all the offense he needed. Suarez had a two-run double in the first inning that extended the Reds lead to 4-0 and added a two-run single in the fifth to tie a career mark of four RBI.

The biggest hit of the night didn’t come off Suarez’s bat, but in the Padres outfield.

With one-out in the top of the first, Padres left fielder Alex Dickerson and center fielder Travis Jankowski collided on a shot to left center by Zack Cozart. Jankowski slid and Dickerson flew over him landing hard on his right hip.

The Poway native, who set a franchise rookie record homering in four-straight games leading up to tonight, had to leave the game with a right hip contusion.

Padres lost 6-0. It’s the 12th time they’ve been shutout this season, an MLB high.

Christian Friedrich takes the hill for the Padres Saturday against Anthony DeSclafani. First pitch is scheduled for 5:40 p.m. at Petco Park.

It may be typical for there to be a little sibling rivalry among brothers and sisters, but for fencing Olympians Kelley and Courtney Hurley, they might just be the closest sisters you’ve ever met.

“There was definitely some competitive battles we had, but as soon as we left for college I feel like I really was able to sort of separate myself from Courtney and realize I don’t have to compare myself, I am who I am,” Kelley Hurley said.

Kelley and Courtney are headed for their second Olympic games together, among seven sets of siblings competing in Rio this year. 

In 2012 the sisters took home the bronze medal in the Women’s Team Epee at the London Games.

“I mean two medals for one family that’s hard to do,” Courtney Hurley said. “So winning with my sister and also my parents in the crowd, you can’t beat that feeling.”

Fencing isn't new to the Hurley family.

Kelley and Courtney’s parents met in fencing and introduced the girls to the sport when they were around seven or eight years old.

“I think it comes with our family. The way our family works, we call ourselves Team Hurley, mom and dad and Courtney and I, it’s a win for Team Hurley,” Kelley said. “We don’t look at it as me trying to prove I’m better than Courtney, that’s not the way we were raised.”

Both sisters attended the University of Notre Dame because of its notable fencing program. Kelley attended the university two years before Courtney. Courtney was between Notre Dame and Ohio State University.

“If Courtney had gone to Ohio State University that probably wouldn’t have helped our bond,” Kelley said.

The Hurley sisters lived together throughout college and as they have progressed in the sport. For the past year Kelley and Courtney have lived in Houston, Texas.

“The awesome thing about having my sister there is I truly want her to do well,” Kelley said. “And in fencing I find that to be very rare to want the best for them [sibling].”

Kelley and Courtney motivate each other every day to practice and train.

“We genuinely want us to do well,” Courtney Hurley said. “I don’t think I’ve ever smack-talked Kelley.”

A friendly sibling rivalry moment when they were starting-off in the sport, Kelley Hurley recalls it happening just once.

"There was one time I lost and Courtney said I sucked," Kelly Hurley said as she laughed.

The sisters have competed against each other multiple times in America but never against each other in international competitions. As for the Rio Games, the chance of competing against each other would be at the very end of the Olympics.

“I think if we did run into each other, it depends on what round, if it depends on a medal or no medal, it would be a pretty intense match,” Kelley Hurley said. “A win’s a win for Team USA and Team Hurley.”

The Hurley sisters hope that regardless of the competition, one of them makes it to the end.

“We can’t both win,” Kelley Hurley said. “That’s what happens when you pick the same sport.”

As for now, Kelley and Courtney are unsure what the future holds for the Hurley Team.

“I think eventually we’re going to part ways, I don’t know if it’s now or after the Olympics,” Courtney Hurley said. “We thought about recently that this might be the end and this might be a break and it’s kind of sad because we’ve always lived with each other.”

Neighbors in Philadelphia cheered as rescuers pulled a man out alive who'd purposely jumped into the sewer and then got sucked down Friday afternoon.

The 46-year-old man removed a storm drain that covered an 18-inch pipe and leapt in. Suction from rushing water below pulled him down about 10 feet.

Emergency crews worked for several hours at the intersection of 9th and Pike Streets in the Hunting Park neighborhood of Philadelphia in what the fire commissioner called a difficult environment filled with sewage and water.

"Very challenging incident. Very difficult rescue." Commissioner Adam Thiel said. "It was very dark so they have to deploy all these specialized techniques with all this specialized equipment."

Rescuers had to ventilate the area due to toxic and flammable gasses before they climbed down a ladder to reach the man.

The victim was in stable condition at Temple hospital. Rescue workers had to decontaminate.

The police department and water department workers assisted in the rescue.

"This is what we do... All of us working for you every day," Thiel said.

Wealthy Republican donors are descending on Colorado Springs, Colorado, this weekend to attend the Charles and David Koch bi-annual retreat where the cloud of Donald Trump hovers over the rich influencers, NBC News reported.

The wealthy conservative activists and the sum of their vast donor network have shunned Trump throughout the entire presidential election. But as they gather this weekend, Trump is sure to be a topic of discussion as it's the first time the group is meeting since Trump was crowned as the Republican nominee.

Trump, coincidentally or not, held a rally in Colorado Springs Friday despite being 10 points behind in the latest poll in Colorado, a gap that explains why Democrat Hillary Clinton pulled advertising from the state.

France is facing questions over its monitoring of extremists after both of the attackers who slit the throat of an elderly priest were known to authorities - including a teen who twice tried to wage jihad in Syria, NBC News reported. 

Adel Kermiche, 19, was intercepted and arrested as he traveled to fight alongside ISIS using family members' identity documents two times last year.

He was put under house arrest in his hometown of Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray near Rouen, Normandy, with an electronic surveillance ankle bracelet after a judge freed him, terror prosecutor Francois Molins said.

Kermiche was one of 1,100 French citizens or residents who want to travel to the Middle East to fight alongside ISIS or who have already been and come back, according to government estimates.

A shooting at a house party in Mukilteo, Washington, left three people dead and a fourth injured, police and city officials said Saturday, NBC News reported. 

About 15-20 teens and young adults were inside a home when a suspect walked in and opened fire.

One suspect has been apprehended many miles from where the shooting took place. Police said no other suspects were being sought. They did not provide additional details. 

The two San Diego Police Department (SDPD) officers who were shot Thursday night during a traffic stop in Southcrest are both husbands and fathers, deeply dedicated to serving and protecting, SDPD Chief Shelley Zimmerman said.

Officer Jonathan DeGuzman, 43, was rushed in a squad car to Scripps Mercy Hospital in Hillcrest. The father of two did not survive. He was a 16-year veteran of the SDPD and a family man, according to Zimmerman.

On Friday, Heritage Elementary School in Chula Vista issued a statement to the parents of students, informing them of DeGuzman's death. The school stated that DeGuzman was a "quality, involved parent" that many other parents knew and interacted with.

“In full uniform, kids would flock around him. He was an active parent, an amazing father. Chula Vista is mourning for him,” Chula Vista Elementary School District Superintendant Francisco Escobedo told NBC 7

Escobedo says DeGuzman was a role model for kids and had been active in several school clubs and loved the children.

"We have a family that doesn't have a father, doesn't have a husband," Escobedo said.

He told NBC 7 that the community was shocked to hear the news of DeGuzman's passing.

"We all feel it. We felt the loss and it's very tragic," he said.

Escobedo says DeGuzman was a tue hero.

"[We're missing] a man who first, was great father, great teacher, and obviously an amazing police officer. We're missing a real American hero."

DeGuzman was awarded the police department’s Purple Heart in 2003 after being stabbed by a suspect he stopped for speeding. 

“I can tell you he is a loving, caring husband, father, talked about his family all the time,” SDPD Police Chief Shelley Zimmerman said of DeGuzman in a news conference Friday morning. “I personally worked with him when I was a lieutenant at Mid-City Division. I know him. This is gut-wrenching. He cared. He came to work every single day just wanting to make a positive difference in his community.”

Zimmerman called his killing "senseless" and said the only thing the officers were trying to do was protect the community.

The second officer wounded in the shooting, Wade Irwin, 32, survived and was taken to UC Medical Center, also in Hillcrest, where he underwent surgery.

Although he is in serious condition, he is expected to recover, according to Zimmerman. Irwin and his wife, who has not left his side, have a 19-month-old baby. By Friday afternoon Zimmerman said Irwin was resting comfortably and was awake. He has been informed of his partner's death, according to Zimmerman. Irwin has been with the department for nine years.

[[388677932,C]]

"It's a long haul until he makes a full recovery, but the good news is that he is going to survive, and he is going to recover," Zimmerman said.

The chief said Irwin has not yet been interviewed about the deadly shooting. She said the officers were both wearing body cameras and added, "there is video evidence."

Both DeGuzman and Irwin were officers in the department’s gang suppression unit. DeGuzman had been in the unit for a couple of years, while Irwin joined in June.

The officers were conducting a pedestrian or traffic stop around 11 p.m. Thursday in the 3700 block of Acacia Grove Way, near Boston Avenue, when they were shot. They called for cover, and dozens upon dozens of law enforcement officers swarmed the area.

Two men were in custody by Friday afternoon. Jessie Michael Gomez, 52, was arrested for murder and attempted murder, and Marcus Antonio Cassani, 41, a “potential suspect,” was arrested for an outstanding warrant. It is unclear if Cassini was involved in the shooting.

Funeral service arrangements are pending. The San Diego Police Officers Association has established a fund for Officer DeGuzman’s family. Donations can be mailed to:

San Diego Police Officers Association

8388 Vickers Street, San Diego, CA 92111

Checks can be made payable to the San Diego Police Officers Association (SDPOA). Please write “Officer Jonathan DeGuzman” in the memo line. All donations will go directly to the family. The SDPOA is also accepting online donations through their website.

Residents of San Diego’s Southcrest community were plagued by uneasiness Friday after two San Diego Police Department (SDPD) officers were shot during a late-night traffic stop, one of them killed by the gunfire.

“[This] is a little scary. You can feel the effect,” Southcrest resident Virginia Williams told NBC 7. “When it’s far away, you feel the effect. When it’s right in your backyard – it touches you deeply. It’s almost as if it could be one of your own family members. My heart goes out to all the fallen officers’ families and all the gun violence on both ends.”

SDPD Chief Shelley Zimmerman said two officers with the department’s Elite Gang Unit -- Officer Jonathan "JD" DeGuzman, 43, and Officer Wade Irwin, 32 -- were conducting a traffic stop in the 3700 block of Acacia Grove Way near Boston Avenue when, suddenly, they were fired upon. The officers stopped their car and immediately called for cover.

DeGuzman – a husband and father of two – was rushed to Scripps Mercy Hospital in Hillcrest in an SDPD patrol car, but succumbed to his injuries. Irwin as seriously wounded and underwent surgery early Friday morning at UC Medical Center. He’s also a husband and father. Zimmerman said he is expected to survive.

Following the shooting, dozens of law enforcement officers swarmed Southcrest. A manhunt was launched for the suspects, with police helicopters and patrol cars scouring the neighborhood. One suspect, later identified to be 52-year old Jesse Michael Gomez, was arrested in a ravine in the 1300 block of 38th Street.

The search pressed on for additional possible suspects, police lights blaring.

Southcrest resident Francisco Navaloez told NBC 7 he couldn’t believe how many officers lined the streets. He had just gotten out of the shower when he heard the police helicopter overheard and saw the bright lights of patrol cars outside his home. He walked outside to get a better view.

“I kid you not, about 50 cop cars rolled up,” Navaloez recounted.

He said he also saw at least 20 police officers, service weapons in hand, running down the street.

“I never experienced anything like this, where it feels like the military kind of rolled up. The police just kind of swarmed the streets,” said Navaloez. “I feel safe knowing the cops showed up that fast but, you know, I feel a little uneasy.”

He said officers from various agencies were in the neighborhood. Navaloez said he has a three-year-old daughter and this incident makes him anxious for the safety of his family and makes him want to move out of the neighborhood.

NBC 7 San Diego viewer Raul Meza, who lives near Interstate 5, said he also saw a multitude of police cars racing down the freeway as officials descended on Southcrest. There were so many police vehicles, he lost count.

“I’ve never seen anything like that before,” Meza said on NBC 7’s Facebook page.

Another San Diegan, Melissa Sumera, also commented on NBC 7’s Facebook page about the “continuous sirens” she heard around 11 p.m. as police made their way to Boston Avenue to provide back-up for their fellow officers.

San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer released a statement Friday morning about the tragedy that struck the SDPD. He said San Diego is grieving with the police department.

His statement, in part, read: “Violence against the men and women who wear the badge is violence against us all. I ask all San Diegans and all people across our nation to join together in support of our officers who courageously protect our communities. We need them and they need us.”

Meanwhile, flowers and candles were left behind at SDPD headquarters in downtown San Diego, at a plaque dedicated to fallen officers. At one point, a San Diego resident stopped to pray at the plaque.

The City of San Diego said all flags at city facilities would fly at half-staff as a tribute to the fallen and injured officer.

As of 8:10 a.m. Friday, SWAT officers had surrounded a home at 41st and Epsilon streets in Shelltown, in search for another possible suspect. That standoff ended several hours later. Soon, a second standoff ensued at 41st and Delta streets.

Marcus Antonio Cassani was identified as the second potential suspect in connection to the shooting. He was arrested on the 4000 block of Epsilon Street for an outstanding warrant, SDPD Chief Shelley Zimmerman confirmed Friday during a press conference.

It's unclear if Cassani was involved in the shooting.

Sources told NBC News the suspects involved in this shooting are believed to be part of a San Diego gang. At this point in the investigation, there is no indication that the SDPD officers were specifically targeted or ambushed, as in recent incidents in Dallas and Baton Rouge, which collectively claimed the lives of eight officers in those cities.

One of the standout speeches at the Democratic National Convention came not from the slew of politicians or celebrities but from the parents of a Muslim-American war hero who shared a stirring reprimand for GOP candidate Donald Trump. But that was only part of their message.

Khizr Khan appeared on MSNBC's "Last Call With Lawrence O'Donnell" on Friday with his wife Ghazala Khan and said there were two other individuals he wanted to address: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan.

Khan called both men "patriots" and "decent human beings" and appealed to them: "Isn't it time to repudiate Trump?"

A 16-year San Diego police veteran killed in the line of duty Thursday night was previously attacked by a suspect and received a Purple Heart from the department twelve years ago.

Jonathan DeGuzman, who was fatally shot during a traffic stop in Southcrest Thursday, was stabbed in 2003 after he stopped a parolee for speeding in City Heights.

DeGuzman intended to give the man a warning for going 30 mph in a 25 mph zone, but the driver, Carl Thompson, got out of his car and stabbed DeGuzman in the shoulder. When he tried to stab DeGuzman again, the officer shot Thompson in the hip. Thompson was convicted of attempted murder on a peace officer in 2004.

Former chief of police William Lansdowne presented DeGuzman with his Purple Heart, given to officers injured in the line of duty. Lansdowne said DeGuzman was “special” to him.

“I found him to be very calm and dedicated,” Lansdowne told NBC 7. “I was very much impressed. He wanted to be a police officer. He was excited about the job, and he wanted to work in the high profile job. That’s how he got to the gang unit. He did an incredible job there. I am going to miss him, like everyone else I am going to miss JD.”

DeGuzman was a husband and a father of two children. 

On Friday, Heritage Elementary School in Chula Vista issued a statement to the parents of students, informing them of DeGuzman's death. The school stated that DeGuzman was a "quality, involved parent" that many other parents knew and interacted with.

The suspect arrested in connection to the shooting of two San Diego police officers and a potential suspect were identified Friday.

Jesse Michael Gomez, 52, was taken into custody after two police officers were shot, San Diego Police Department (SDPD) Chief Shelley Zimmerman told reporters at a press conference Friday.

Officer Jonathan "JD" DeGuzman, 43, a 16-year veteran of the force was shot and killed Thursday night. Officer Wade Irwin, 32, a 9-year veteran is still recovering in the hospital. Both officers are part of the force's Elite Gang Unit.

Zimmerman says she visited Officer Irwin and his family in the hospital on Friday. He is now awake and expected to make a full recovery.

Police took Gomez into custody shortly after the shooting. He was found in a ravine in the 1300 block of 38th Street, according to Zimmerman. He had suffered a gunshot wound and was in critical condition as of 11 a.m. Friday. 

Zimmerman also named Marcus Antonio Cassani as the second potential suspect in connection to the shooting. He was arrested on the 4000 block of Epsilon Street Friday morning for an outstanding warrant.

A man was arrested early Saturday morning for allegedly stealing a San Diego Police Department (SDPD) patrol car, officials said.

According to the police department, officers were investigating a DUI accident around 5:15 a.m. at College Grove Way.

There, a man – claiming to be a witness – approached the officers under the ruse that he had information related to the accident.

Suddenly, police said the man jumped into one of the patrol cars, an SUV, and sped off. The suspect drove northbound on a nearby freeway and eventually wound up eastbound on State Route 56.

Officers set up spike strips to stop the suspect, flattening the tires of the SUV.

At around 5:45 a.m., the suspect finally came to a stop in the stolen police vehicle in the 10000 block of Rancho Carmel Drive, officials said. He was taken into custody.

His name and further details were not immediately released. No one was injured in the incident.
