Robin Westman, known for her gruesome Minnesota shooting spree in 2006 and 2007 (and later identified by law enforcement as one of their shooters), appeared in her yearbook photo sporting short, curly locks and wearing an attractive pink blouse paired with dangly earrings and a chunky gold necklace – with what appeared to be light pink lip stain applied as part of the outfit.
Westman legally changed to Robin in 2020 with no record of criminality other than minor traffic citations, according to Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara on Thursday. His mother approved of this change.
Four former classmates who attended Annunciation Catholic School with the future shooter during eighth grade recall no incidents of violence or discipline issues from him, although he stood out by wearing Heelys shoes with wheels on the bottom.

3. Jesse Pritzker’s weight loss signals he’s eying a run for the White House
Jesse Pritzker’s weight loss could be seen as an indicator that he is prepping to run for president in 2028. Pritzker has spent millions from his own inherited money to fund Democrats, candidates and activist groups nationwide while pushing taxes such as state gas taxes, sports betting taxes and casino taxes forward.
Pritzker also condemned President Trump for threatening to send National Guard troops into Chicago following a violent weekend where six people were killed and two dozen others were wounded, noting that under 1878’s Posse Comitatus Act federal troops cannot serve as domestic police forces on city streets.
Pritzker is championing an ambitious progressive agenda in Illinois, including legalizing marijuana, increasing minimum wages and expanding voting rights. He’s an outspoken proponent of universal healthcare access as well as including reproductive rights into state law.
4. A married teacher pleaded guilty to having an “ongoing relationship” with a 15-year-old girl
Christina Formella is facing charges in Illinois after being accused of engaging in an “ongoing relationship” with one of her 15-year-old students, according to police. Their relationship began tutoring online school platforms before it turned romantic according to court documents; at one point he even claimed she locked him in her classroom before school started for having sexual encounters before class began.
Prosecutors charged her with second degree rape, sodomy and distribution of sexually explicit material to minors. More charges may follow against her in the future; she wasn’t the only teacher accused of sexual misconduct either: in Pasco County ex-teacher James Hymiller was placed under house arrest and probation after engaging in consensual sex act with student; although he maintained it was consensual sex act they weren’t convinced by his explanation that consensual was consenting. Judges didn’t believe his claim arguing otherwise.

Hersheypark in Pennsylvania recently provided an unlucky boy with rescue after becoming separated from his parents and entering a closed monorail station surrounded by chained closures and barricade turnstiles, according to Hersheypark’s statement. After staying there for around 20 minutes – briefly walking alongside its track – until one of their guests noticed him and helped get him off it, Hersheypark is grateful that it could offer such assistance.
The heart-stopping video footage was posted online and shared widely, prompting onlookers to try to direct him towards an nearby building and encourage him to go towards it. At one point, someone climbed onto the roof of this structure and reached out a hand of help toward him.
