ATLANTA -- Three people were being treated at an Atlanta hospital Sunday after a robbery attempt turned into a fatal shootout. The would-be robber pulled out a gun and approached three people in a car at the Forest Cove Apartments on Saturday night, police said. A man inside the vehicle then pulled his own gun and the two exchanged gunfire, police said. Officers wouldn’t say how many shots were fired, but everyone involved was hit. The robber collapsed after one shot and two women inside the vehicle were shot in the back, police said. Channel 2's Rebecca Lindstrom went to...

Jesse Jackson's car stolen in Detroit September 4, 2010 The Rev. Jesse Jackson found out just how rough things are in Detroit. Several Detroit media outlets reported thieves stole Jackson’s ride — a 2009 Cadillac Escalade — from a parking lot near the city’s Doubletree Hotel. The SUV was later recovered, but it was found without its rims and one of its windows had been broken, according to Detroit’s WXYZ-TV. Jackson was in Detroit for a march and rally called “Rebuild America: Jobs, Justice and Peace.” Just days after Jackson’s SUV was stolen, one of Detroit Mayor Dave Bing’s vehicles...

Professor Obama is looking to grade you on your car-buying preferences. Beginning with the 2012 model year, new vehicles will carry revised window stickers bearing ratings from "A+" to "D," with the highest marks reserved for choices the administration endorses and the lowest for those it frowns upon. This is just the latest example of the nanny state mentality that has taken hold inside the Beltway. The schoolmarms at the Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Transportation jointly proposed the new labels Monday. The idea is to give government-subsidized electric vehicles -

Ohio businesses no longer could stop employees with concealed-carry licenses from bringing their guns onto the premises under a House bill that is backed by a bipartisan mix of 31 co-sponsors. State business groups are not thrilled about the idea. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Joe Uecker, R-Loveland, proposes allowing a licensee to store his or her gun in a locked car while it is parked on an employer's lot. Current law gives businesses the ability to ban guns from any part of company grounds. "Employees should not be discriminated against just because they choose to exercise their Second Amendment...

There's this clever little joke the president told a few days ago. This Washington Post blog makes it sound like he his teleprompter came up with it, but I've actually heard other liberals use it before him. I'm going to tell it my way...

Almost 4,000 people are killed on the world's roads every day, according to the campaigning charity RoadPeace which is marking National Road Victim Month. So who was the UK's first fatal car accident victim - exactly 114 years ago - and what happened? There was little more than a handful of petrol cars in Britain when labourer's wife Bridget Driscoll, 44, took a trip to the Crystal Palace, south-east London, on 17 August 1896. So she could be forgiven for being bewildered by Arthur Edsall's imported Roger-Benz which was part of a motoring exhibition taking place as she attended a...

A Martinez man remains in critical but stable condition at the Medical College of Georgia after being shot during a confrontation on the 2000 block of Westfield Drive in Augusta. Authorities say 19-year old Milo Hayes III was shot by Brete Anthony Gunby after Gunby spotted Hayes allegedly attempting to break into a neighbor's truck. The 39-year-old says he watched Hayes enter his neighbor's truck and that's when he called 9-1-1. He then went outside with a pistol and told Hayes to stay put until the police arrived. Hayes pulled out an object from his pockets and that's when Gunby...
