Salon Shooting in Brookfield

On Sunday morning, a man who was identified as Radcliffe Franklin Haughton, opened fire at a salon by Brookfield Square Mall near Milwaukee. He reportedly killed three women, injured four others then shot himself. The irony of the story? Haughton was ordered last week to turn in all of his weapons due to a domestic dispute. Haughton's wife, Zina, filed for a restraining order October 8th, which led to a previous incident which resulted in Radcliffe slashing his wife's tires. There was also records of a charge on Radcliffe's records showing "Disorderly Conduct" which was dropped due to a witness not showing up to court.

At 11:09 while the shooting was occurring at the Azana Day Spa, the mall across the street went under lock down  until the SWAT team found Radcliffe, dead in a locked area in the two-story spa. Shocked, Radcliffe's father and family, apologize for Racliffe's actions.

Extreme Potty Training

Elizabeth Escalona, a mother of four kids is currently waiting for her sentence for reportedly gluing her two year old daughter's hands to the wall and beating her. Elizabeth's mother, Oefelia Escalona, testified against Elizabeth saying she found Jocelyn (the two year old daughter) laying a bed with bruises all over her body including her forehand, and her hands injured from the adhesive. Why did the mother do such horrible things? She claims she was trying to potty train her daughter.  It is unsure about how long the two year old was glued to the wall but shortly after she was brought to the hospital, she showed signs of severe brain injury and was in a brief coma. Jocelyn's pediatrician also testified again Elizabeth during the trial, she was shown pictures of the injuries and stated "The entire picture was very shocking." She also said, "I see a lot of children, and this was one of the most shocking cases that I have seen." Now that Elizabeth is facing serious consequences, all of her children are in custody of her mother, Oefelia.

Mysterious Chemical House

In Klamath, Oregon, the Hankin's family purchased a home that was recently foreclosed, not knowing it was poisonous. After a few days of moving into the small, $36,000 house, the family, including a two year old boy, started to experience health problems. The mother, Beth Hankins started to develop breathing problems. Two weeks later, the father, Johnathan Hankins, showed signs of severe migraines and nosebleeds. Shortly after, their son developed mouth sores that were so severe, he had difficulty drinking. Finally, their neighbor spoke up and notified them that the Hankin's "perfect house", used to be a meth house,  with a contamination level way above Oregon's health authority limits. Disappointed, the family moved out and asked why weren't they informed. The family warns the public who are looking to buy foreclosed homes to check the background of the house before they buy.
