Uber Driver Accused of Allegedly Raping Teenager in Cleveland Park http://www.popville.com/2012/12/uber-driver-accused-of-raping-teenager-in-cleveland-park/  But if you read the comments, some readers used their detective skills to figure out that this was a hoax/scam to shut down Uber.

In 1996 there was a similar massacre in Scotland:
 In an attack not dissimilar to what took place at Sandy Hook, a shooter burst into a gymnasium of a school in the Scottish town of Dunblane on March 13, 1996, and turned his four handguns on a group of unsuspecting 5- and 6-year-olds assembled there. Sixteen children and one teacher were killed; the gunman, a deranged unemployed shopkeeper, then turned his weapon on himself. Among the dazed pupils forced to take cover during the assault was British tennis champ Andy Murray, then 8 years old.
