 Woman accused of biting chunk out of victim’s forehead in ‘zombie bite’ attack A blood-curdling, random attack in downtown Seattle last week left a woman with injuries to her face similar to a “zombie bite,” she said. Diana Gonzalez, 36, was walking to a 7-Eleven when a crazed suspect, identified as homeless woman Kamilia Chadli, threw a food wrapper at her. When Gonzalez questioned her actions, Chadli allegedly spit on her, used a homophobic slur, and called her “the inferior race.” Chadli then allegedly began assaulting her, tossing her to the ground. Then, horrifyingly, Chadli allegedly took a bloody bite out of Gonzalez’s forehead. A nearby witness pulled the women apart and pursued Chadli after she allegedly fled the scene. Seattle police would later apprehend her, and she has been charged with felony second-degree assault. Gonzalez needed to be hospitalized and is recovering. The bite horrified the woman, who was just looking for a drink to quench her thirst while working at...

 Heavy Rain: Parents, Schools Urged to Prioritise Safety of Schoolchildren ‎ ‎By Chizoba Njaka ‎ ‎Safety expert (name withheld), have urged parents and guardians to keep schoolchildren at home during periods of heavy rainfall to reduce their exposure to road accidents, flooding and other weather-related hazards. ‎ ‎The expert said the precaution was particularly important in communities where poor drainage, flooding, erosion and damaged roads can make movement dangerous during heavy downpours. ‎According to him, heavy rainfall can quickly flood roads and walkways, make surfaces slippery and reduce visibility for motorists, thereby increasing the risk of road crashes involving pedestrians. ‎ ‎He also warned that floodwaters can conceal open drains, deep potholes, sharp debris and other hazards capable of causing serious injuries or drowning. Contact with contaminated floodwater, they added, could expose children to waterborne infections and skin diseases. ‎ ‎The expert advised paren...

 White House video pool resumes operations after Trump media access ban ruling    The White House network video pool resumed operations Friday for the first time since President Donald Trump barred three news outlets from the White House in a high-profile dispute over media access. The pool, made up of five major U.S. television networks that rotate coverage and share video, had been inactive after the White House excluded CNN and two other outlets from its grounds. The remaining four members refused to participate in a show of solidarity with the banned organizations. A federal judge temporarily blocked the White House ban on CNN, MS NOW and Politico on Thursday, allowing reporters from all three outlets to return to the White House. However, the ruling did not specifically address the video pool, and the participating networks continued to withhold their coverage. The pool's live video feed was circulating Friday again as Trump prepared to take Chinese President Xi Jinp...
