Compiled from The Associated Press ...
A woman used her 4-week-old baby as a weapon in a domestic dispute, swinging the infant through the air and striking her boyfriend with the child, authorities said.
The boy, who suffered a fractured skull, was in serious but stable condition Monday at Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh, police said.
"Never, never, never. I can never remember anything like this," District Attorney Bradley Foulk told the Erie Times-News.
Chytoria Graham, 27, of Erie, was charged with aggravated assault, reckless endangerment and simple assault. She was held Monday in the Erie County Jail in lieu of $75,000 bail.
South Portland, MaineStore evacuated after 40 become ill
A supermarket was evacuated Monday night after customers complained of nausea, difficulty breathing and vomiting.
About 40 people were treated at hospitals. No one appeared to be seriously ill and all were conscious and walking, police said.
Police Lt. Robb Couture said Shaw's Supermarket at Mill Creek was being checked for the source of the problem, but officials believe it was airborne and not related to food sold there. Firefighters were looking at the possibility of a problem with the refrigeration system.
Guardsman opens fire, wounds man
A Louisiana National Guard soldier on patrol shot and wounded a man Monday, the first time any guard member patrolling the city has opened fire, officials said.
The guardsman, who was patrolling a neighborhood still recovering from Hurricane Katrina, was flagged down to intervene in an argument between two people, said Bambi Hall, a police spokeswoman. When the guardsman felt threatened, he shot one of the men in the upper torso, she said. The man's injury was not considered life-threatening.
San FranciscoFirm scrambling to locate lettuce
![]()
The company that recalled its lettuce after irrigation water tested positive for E. coli scrambled Monday to locate 250 remaining cartons of the greens, which could be scattered across seven Western states.
On Sunday, Nunes Co. recalled more than 8,500 cartons of green leaf lettuce grown on one farm in the Salinas Valley, the agricultural region at the center of the contaminated-spinach outbreak that killed three people and made 199 others sick.
By Monday morning, all but 250 cartons of the lettuce distributed under the Foxy brand between Oct. 3 and Oct. 6 had been located and were being destroyed, company President Tom Nunes said. The search continued for the remaining cartons, which Nunes said were believed to be in supermarkets or restaurants in Arizona, California, Nevada, Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana.
Nunes emphasized that the recall was precautionary since there had been no evidence of E. coli on the lettuce, or any reports of illnesses.
