Jonathan Martin’s Harrowing Journey from Bullied NFL Lineman to Suspected School Shooter

On Friday morning, students at the Harvard-Westlake School, a prep school in Los Angeles, were told not to come in for the day.

The alarming announcement came after officials learned that an alumnus, former NFL lineman Jonathan Martin, had posted a threatening message the prior evening to his private Instagram account.

The post contained a photo of a shotgun laying on a bed surrounded by shells. Martin, who was taken into custody by the police, added the names of his school and his former team, the Miami Dolphins, on the weapon. 

“When you’re a bully victim & a coward, your options are suicide, or revenge,” Martin wrote.

Also included in the post were the Instagram accounts of his former tormentors: ex-NFL teammates Richie Incognito and Mike Pouncey. James Dunleavy and T.J. Taylor, who both attended Harvard-Westlake with Martin, were also tagged.

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

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.

We're open to work with Britain over incident involving ex-agent

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
