Jailed for NRA T-shirt , a West Virginia eighth-grader student has been charged with causing a disruption at his middle school after he refused to remove an NRA T-shirt that he wore. The teenager was reportedly arrested and suspended last week after getting into an argument with his teacher about a National Rifle Association T-shirt he wore to school. WOWK-TV reports that Jared Marcum faces charges of obstruction and disturbing the education process for refusing to change the shirt, which shows a rifle and the slogan, "protect your right." Jared told the station the he was punished by officials at Logan Middle School after arguing about the shirt with his teacher, who reportedly objected to the image of the gun on the shirt.

JFK airport evacuation , LaGuardia Airport had a temporary evacuation just last week, and now JFK airport has undergone an evacuation due to what was originally called a "suspicious package." Reuters reported on Sunday, April 21, 2013, that one terminal was evacuated so authorities could investigate the package which ended up being a tube of toothpaste wrapped in duct tape. A little after 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, there was an evacuation of Terminal 4 after the suspicious package was found in the baggage room section. Chris Valens, spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, confirmed the location of the package. The terminal was declared safe and re-opened about an hour and a half later. The New York Department bomb squad eventually determined that the suspicious package ended up being simply a tube of toothpaste. It looked strange because it was wrapped in duct tape. "We determined that it only contained toothpaste," Officer James Duffy said. On April

Jailed for NRA T-shirt , a student was jailed for wearing an NRA T-shirt to school in West Virginia last week. On April 21, Fox News reported that an 8th grade student got in to an argument with a teacher who allegedly didn't approve of the image of a gun on the boy's shirt. Now, Jared Marcum faces charges of "obstruction and disturbing the education process for refusing to change the shirt." "What they're doing is trying to take away my rights, my freedom of speech and my Second Amendment," Marcum told the media (via Fox News). Many people agree and don't feel as though the student should have been arrested. A kid jailed for an NRA T-shirt seems a bit extreme which is likely why it is making headline news today. The T-shirt had a picture of a rifle on the front and the text "protect your right" above it (see above photo). The school's policy does forbid students from wearing clothing that displays "profanity, violence, discriminat

Bombing suspect awake - Suspect is awake, conscious and is under interrogation. He is responding in writing to authorities, CBS News correspondent Bob Orr reports. Officials did not reveal further details on what they are asking or what his responses are. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, was in serious condition Sunday, two days after being pulled bloody and wounded from a tarp-covered boat in a Watertown backyard. The capture came at the end of a tense Friday that began with his 26-year-old brother, Tamerlan, dying in a gun battle with police. Dzhokhar remains hospitalized under heavy guard. Officials say Tsarnaev is recuperating from a bullet wound in the leg and in the neck, rendering him unable to speak. They could not comment on whether or not the second wound was self-inflicted. Federal prosecutors are working on bringing charges but there was no immediate word on when Tsarnaev might be charged and what those charges would be. The twin bombings killed three people and wounded more

$2 million Boston victims , Friends, relatives and strangers have raised more than $2 million online to help pay medical expenses for the victims of the Boston bombing. A website on GoFundMe.com was set up for Celeste and Sydney Corcoran, a mother and daughter from Lowell, Mass. who were both severely injured while standing at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. Celeste lost both her legs below her knees and Sydney suffered severe shrapnel wounds. The site, Celeste & Sydney Recovery Fund, has so-far raised more than $500,000 out of its $750,000 goal. The campaigns are usually open for donations from friends but even complete strangers often pitch in. The organizers post photos and details of the victims recovery and, to many donors, it's an immediate way to help. "People get angry. They want to get involved. They want to help," said Brad Damphousse, chief executive officer of GoFundMe, which is hosting Celeste and Sydney's campaign. "Crowdfunding is actua

Another $560,000 has been pledged to Boston newlyweds Jessica and Patrick Downes, who each lost a leg in the attack. “All of us were like, ‘How can we help?’” said Leslie Kelly, 56, of Pebble Beach, Calif., whose two daughters grew up with Jessica Downes. “We felt so helpless. I thought, we ca
