Former Stanford and 49ers offensive lineman Jonathan Martin was detained by police earlier Friday after a recent social media post of his displayed a rifle, ammunition and names of former teammates in the NFL.

A Los Angeles Police Department spokesman said told ESPN late Friday afternoon, though, that Martin is no longer in custody.According to USA Today, Martin had been detained at a Los Angeles-area hospital where he went to seek treatment after a post on his Instagram account displayed disturbing images. The picture contained social media handles for former Miami Dolphins teammates Richie Incognito and Mike Pouncey, and two former Harvard-Westlake School classmates, with the message “When you’re a bully victim & a coward your options are suicide, or revenge.”

The image also had hashtags #HarvardWestlake — his high school — and #MiamiDolphins on the rifle. It is not known if the gun was real or immediately clear whether Martin posted the photo himself.

Los Angeles police said Friday officials at Harvard-Westlake closed the school, located in Studio City, and its middle school in Holmby Hills, due to the perceived threat.

After Park, former South Korean President Lee summoned over bribery allegations

By
South Korean prosecutors have called former President Lee Myung-bak to appear for questioning over allegations he took bribes when in office, a prosecutor said on Tuesday in the latest top-level political corruption scandal to rock the country. Prosecutors last month sought a 30-year jail term for former President Park Geun-hye, Lee's successor, who was ousted last year amid an influence-peddling scandal and is standing trial on charges of bribery, abuse of power and coercion. Lee was asked to present himself for questioning on March 14, the senior prosecutor said. "We must question (Lee) to reveal the truth", the prosecutor told reporters. "We expect him to show up since we gave sufficient time for him to prepare for the questioning". Lee has denied any wrongdoing, calling the investigation into the bribery allegations, summoning his family and confidants and raiding their homes and offices, politically motivated.

The Kremlin said on Tuesday it was ready to cooperate if Britain asks it for help investigating an incident involving a former Russian double agent who fell ill after exposure to an unknown substance. Sergei Skripal, once a colonel in Russia's GRU military intelligence service, was critically ill in hospital on Tuesday after he was exposed to an unidentified substance in southern England. "Nobody has approached us with such a request," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told a conference call with reporters, when asked if the British authorities had been in touch seeking help. "Moscow is always open for cooperation." When asked to respond to British media speculation that Russia had poisoned Skripal, Peskov said: "It didn't take them long." Calling the incident "a tragic situation," he said the Kremlin did not have information about what had happened. Source :- yahoonews
