 A Mother's Day Nightmare in Princeton, Illinois. A 3-year-old boy was struck by gunfire as police burst into a barricaded room, ending a frightening hostage situation.

 Court releases Tunisian man sentenced to death after widespread criticism


A Tunisian court released a man on Tuesday who had been sentenced to death just last week for Facebook posts criticising the president, following a wave of public criticism and human rights concerns over the case.

Chouchane was arrested last year.

Since Saied dissolved the elected parliament four years ago and started ruling by decree, Tunisia has faced growing criticism by rights groups over the erosion of judicial independence.
