Rebel fighter William Plotnikov is seen in this undated handout photo released by Dagestani branch of the Russian Federal Security Service to Reuters. A mess of rubble, ash and charred vehicles is all that's left at the desolate farmhouse where a Canadian Muslim convert died fighting his last battle alongside Islamist insurgents in the Russian region of Dagestan. At the time, few people beyond local villagers noticed William Plotnikov's death in a region where skirmishes occur daily. But almost a year on, Plotnikov has emerged into the limelight following the Boston Marathon bombings.

Kentucky State Police trooper Billy Gregory said, "it's too early to know whether" charges will be filed in the case of a 5-year-old boy who accidentally shot and killed his 2-year-old sister in Cumberland County on Tuesday.

Five people were shot, including one fatally during the annual Crab Festival in Williston, Florida, as reported by UPI. Only, the crab festival is actually a misnomer. The "Crab Festival" is actually a series of "Hip Hop" style street parties where violence had been reported in the past.
