A Florida couple's celebration on a date night earlier this month turned terrifying after police said three thugs followed them home and then shot them both in a heinous robbery.Security video captured the moment when Kim Chambliss tried to escape the armed robbers while they scuffled with her boyfriend Val Delacruz in front of their home in Riverview. 'We didn't even realize that people were following us every step of the way. It's scary.' The couple said the armed men surrounded their car and demanded money after they returned home from the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood where they won a jackpot and cashed out with about $3,000. The video captured the horrific attack, including Delacruz getting shot in the legs. "I ran, and I fell in the door, and the other guy came out and shot me again for the third time in my left leg," he recalled. Chambliss said, "I hear another gunshot, and my first thought was 'they've killed him.' I was hysterical, I screamed and cried." The men drove off after a neighbor came outside. Investigators said they found surveillance video from the casino showing two men watching the couple for about two hours before following them to their home. The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said they arrested two suspects identified as Marcus Jennings and Tristin Wright. They are seeking a third suspect who escaped. Jenkins is facing an attempted murder charge, and Wright is facing a charge of principal to attempted murder. Delacruz said that responding deputies had to put a tourniquet on his leg to stop the bleeding."I lost so much blood, if they didn’t do that, I wouldn’t have made it," he said. Chambliss told WTVT-TV that the couple have a monthly date night, but they don't get out much because they work so much. "We're just average people, you know, who are out having a good time, you know, who love each other and enjoying each other's company," she said. "And to know that we didn't even realize that people were following us every step of the way. It's scary. It's scary." The thugs were able to steal the couple's watch, jewelry, and Chambliss' purse.You can view interviews with the victims — along with video showing the shootings — here. Like Blaze News?

Though Williams died back in 2002, some members of his family believe that’s just a technicality. Ted’s head and body were separately cryogenically frozen in the hopes of being revived one day when there’s a cure for… death.

As expected, Google's Pixel 9 event was full of Gemini AI features. Google didn't just announce new Gemini functionalities. Google said those features will be available on the Pixel 9, Pixel Watch 3, and Pixel Buds Pro 2 in the coming weeks. You'll have to wait for these devices to hit stores. That was an obvious hit at Apple and the iPhone. Apple Intelligence will roll out in phases starting at some point this fall. Google also offered a big teaser at the end of the keynote of what's coming to Gemini in the coming months. Google detailed a few exciting features that are not available from other genAI providers. This puts pressure on OpenAI to roll out a new ChatGPT upgrade very soon. Recent reports detailing the next big ChatGPT upgrade already tease that OpenAI might be working on features similar to Google's plans for Gemini. Even Sam Altman posted a ChatGPT teaser on X, suggesting the next big upgrade might be close. Continue reading...

Katherine French & Richard Madgwick/The Conversation Prehistoric communities from Iceland to the Eurasian Steppe sacrificed horses as part of their funeral rites. These Baltic tribes, known as the Balts, sacrificed horses longer than anywhere else in Europe, up until the 14th century. Christians despised this practice, however, and it quickly fell out of favor once a community converted to Christianity. Archaeologists have studied Baltic sacrificial deposits for nearly 200 years. Two characteristics had seemed settled – that stallions were exclusively sacrificed, and that the Balts sourced their horses from the local tarpan horse population, commonly known as “forest” or “wild” horses. However, our team’s latest research challenges these “facts” about the last horse sacrifices in Europe. It shows that about a third of sacrificial horses were, in fact, mares – and surprisingly, that some horses began their life in Christian Scandinavia and ended up across the Baltic Sea as sacrificial victims.
