NASHUA, N.H. (AP) — A man accused of storming into a New Hampshire church over the weekend and shooting a clergyman and a bride during a wedding pleaded not guilty Tuesday.

Dale Holloway, 37, of Manchester, is accused of attempted murder, assault and other charges in connection with the Saturday shooting at the New England Pentecostal Ministries in Pelham. He had been released from a Massachusetts prison in December, according to The Boston Globe , after serving time for beating an estranged girlfriend in 2012.

Holloway was held without bail Tuesday. A message was left for a public defender assigned to his case.

Assistant Attorney General Benjamin Agati said authorities believe Holloway acted alone and that they were investigating whether it was connected to an earlier shooting.

Holloway is the stepson of 60-year-old Luis Garcia, who was shot to death Oct. 1 in Londonderry. The groom in the church shooting was the father of the man charged with killing Garcia. Brandon Castiglione, 24, has been charged in his murder and is jailed.

"I don't think I'm comfortable saying it's just a revenge shooting at this point. We are still investigating the other aspects of this," Agati said. "There is some connection that is there. Again, we are investigating what the exact motives are for all the players involved."

Holloway shot two people Saturday morning before wedding guests tackled him and held him down until police arrived at the church in Pelham, a town of about 13,000 near the border of Massachusetts.

The attorney general's office said 75-year-old presiding bishop Stanley Choate, who was shot in the chest, has been upgraded to stable condition. Sixty-year-old bride Claire McMullen, who was shot in the arm, was released. Groom Mark Castiglione suffered minor injuries after being hit in the head by an object.

Agati said Holloway has a criminal record in Massachusetts. According to the court complaint, Holloway was convicted in 2003 in Massachusetts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and assault with intent to kill. The complaint did not mention the 2012 conviction.

In the court papers for the 2012 case, The Boston Globe reports that Holloway's attorney detailed that his client has endured chronic abuse at the hands of his biological father.

The church remains closed to the public. Holloway's bail hearing is scheduled for Oct. 22.

"Everyone is still in shock because we never imagined it would happen in church, let alone in New Hampshire," said Magalie Felix, a member of the Pelham church.

A Texas mother was jailed after she forced her son to undergo 13 pointless surgeries that ultimately left him in a wheelchair

(stop giving to go fund me until you have done research. these are the people that you are giving your money too. That poor child suffered for years for NO REASON)

A Texas mother was jailed after she forced her son to undergo 13 pointless surgeries that ultimately left him in a wheelchair, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.  

Kaylene Bowen-Wright, 34, was arrested last Wednesday on a warrant that accuses her of injury to a child with serious bodily injury. According to a Child Protective Services (CPS) petition, medical records revealed that her son Christopher was seen at least 323 times at hospitals and pediatric centers in Dallas and Houston between his premature birth in April 2009 and 2016. During that span, the child reportedly underwent invasive procedures, including the insertion of a feeding tube that caused several life-threatening blood infections.

In an interview with the newspaper, Christopher's father, Ryan Crawford, said Bowen-Wright would repeatedly tell him and Dallas County family court judges that the child was ill despite Crawford's skepticism.

"She was always saying Christopher was sick. Every single week. Every single month," Crawford said. "She would always say, 'Something's wrong. He has this. He has that.'"

Though Crawford tried to convince the judges that Bowen-Wright was lying, he said, she would go on to claim that their son was dying of cancer.

"It was always the same story: Christopher is dying," Crawford recalled. "The father doesn't need to be around because he doesn't know to take care of him ... Every time I went to court, they made me feel like I was the worst human ever."

In 2012, a judge blocked Crawford from visiting his then 3-year-old son. In his absence, Bowen-Wright attempted to put their child on a list for lung transplants and even placed him in hospice care, according to court documents.
The Star-Telegram notes that, lat
e last month, CPS received a second report from medical staff that suggested that Christopher was not sick at all. The agency ultimately removed him, along with two of his half-siblings, from Bowen-Wright's care. Doctors also concluded that Christopher had not, in fact, suffered from cancer or experienced any of the symptoms that his mother had claimed.

"It's horrible for my son, or any kid, because obviously my son is not the only one that has had to go through this type of torture," the boy's father told the paper. "The system has to be exposed — all the weaknesses that are in the system — because the kids don't deserve that."

Now, Crawford, who said his concerns were dismissed by CPS multiple times, is fighting to get his son back from foster care. He has accused the agency of resisting removing the child from his foster parents because Christopher does not know his biological father that well. But, Crawford said, the now 8-year-old also isn't familiar with his foster family.

"That's taxpayer money," the father said. "Why spend all that extra money when he has a father that has been there from day one, that's been fighting for this?"

To help cover his legal fees in his ongoing custody battle, Crawford's colleagues started a GoFundMe campaign in 2017. It raised over $13,000.

"You would think my son would be so screwed up," Crawford said. "Obviously mentally, he's going to need some counseling. But he is so sweet, so nice, so playful. You wouldn't think that he had gone through all this abuse."

Christopher's case is eerily similar to that of Louisiana native Gypsy Rose Blanchard, whose story rose to national prominence after her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, claimed she was sick and lost their home in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Under Dee Dee's care, Gypsy underwent several surgeries, including a procedure on her eyes and the removal of her salivary glands. The two were also showered with a number of gifts by charity organizations, including a new home in Missouri and a trip to Disney World.

In 2015, Gypsy convinced her online boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn, to murder her mother. An investigation subsequently revealed that she had not, in fact, been sick at all and that Dee Dee may have suffered from Munchausen syndrome by proxy, a disorder in which a caretaker fabricates the appearance of illness in a child for attention from medical professionals.

Texas woman shot by officer had picked up gun after hearing noises, warrant says

(Reuters) - A Texas woman was shot dead by a Fort Worth police officer through the window of her home after she heard noises outside late at night and picked up her handgun, the officer's arrest warrant showed on Tuesday.

Atatiana Jefferson, 28, was playing video games with her 8-year-old nephew around 2:30 am on Saturday when she heard noises in her backyard, according to the warrant for former Fort Worth Police Officer Dean Aaron's arrest for alleged murder.

The noises were Dean and his partner creeping around the back of her home after they were called to investigate why her front door was open.

Dean resigned on Monday before he was fired for breaching a string of police policies in shooting Jefferson dead with a single shot, according to Fort Worth Police Chief Ed Kraus.

Jefferson's death brought outraged calls for an investigation into Fort Worth Police, whose officers are accused by her family's lawyer, Lee Merritt, of fatally shooting seven people in under six months.

"She heard noises coming from outside, and she took her handgun from her purse," Jefferson's nephew told police, according to the warrant. His name was redacted from the warrant.

"Jefferson raised her handgun, pointed it toward the window, then Jefferson was shot and fell to the ground," the warrant said.

Dean's partner, identified as Officer Darch, said she could see Jefferson when Dean shot her.
"She could only see Jefferson's face through the window when Officer Dean discharged his weapon," the warrant said.

The officers did not knock on the front door of the home or announce they were police before Dean fired his weapon, according to Kraus.

"It makes sense she would have a gun if she felt threatened or if there was someone in the backyard," Kraus said, ending a press conference after eight minutes as he grew emotional talking about the impact of the killing on police morale.

Fort Worth has called in an independent panel of experts to evaluate the police department after the shooting.

Jefferson was killed the same month another former Texas police officer, Amber Guyger, was convicted of murdering Botham Jean, a black man, as he sat in his home eating ice cream.

Jefferson's family has called for the swift prosecution of Dean, who was arrested on Monday and posted bond overnight.

"#AtatianaJefferson deserved to live in a world where she was safe from brutality playing video games in her home with her nephew," Merritt tweeted.

2-year-old boy shot in 'cowardly, violent act' of road rage, suspect charged: Baltimore police

A 2-year-old boy was shot in the stomach in a "cowardly, violent act" of apparent road rage in Baltimore, authorities said.

"You shot a child. Whoever you thought you were shooting at, you didn't shoot," Baltimore Police Commissioner Michael Harrison said.

The 2-year-old, who had been in the car with his family, was taken to the hospital in "somewhat stable condition" and is expected to survive, police said Saturday.


The boy remained in the hospital Monday morning as the suspected shooter, Javon Johnson, 33, was charged, said police.

 

It's believed the suspect's car and the victim's car were among those stopped at a red light at 12:30 a.m. on Saturday, Harrison said at a news conference on Saturday.

When the light turned green, none of the cars moved through the intersection, even when the driver of the victim's car blew the horn several times, said Harrison.

After hitting the horn several times during the green light cycle, the driver of the victim's car drove around the vehicles at the light and turned the corner, Harrison said.


It's believed the suspect, driving a silver Mazda MPV, followed the victim and fired from his vehicle into the victim's car, Harrison said.

A 13-year-old Kansas student was arrested and charged with a felony after police say she made a gunlike hand gesture at multiple students.


The girl, who attended Westridge Middle School in Overland Park, Kansas, made the gesture at four of her peers and then toward herself on Sept. 18, after being asked which five people she would kill in her class, according to Overland Park Police Chief Frank Donchez. He said the context of this conversation was unclear.

I think that we're on the way to the world with women being in charge of EVERYTHING and men won't be needed for much.

Not meant to be a joke.... I've serious. Women are just praising each other and throwing the men under the bus. Pretty scary for all of us that believe that we are ALL EQUAL (men, women, ALL RACES etc.)
