American Girl, purveyors of fine, historically accurate dolls, are introducing a homeless girl. "Gwen Thompson" comes with a book with the story of how her father left, her mother lost her job, and they started living in a car.

Sean Bell was shot to death just hours before his wedding while his two friends, Joseph Guzman and Trent Benefield, were wounded in a barrage of 50 bullets in less than a minute; undercover police claimed they saw a fourth man with a gun.
