Boy shoots his mother - after dad shoots himself

An Alabama man tripped and accidentally shot himself, then his two year old son came, picked up the gun, and shot his mother in the neck. Authorities believe it's a case where everyone really wants to get away from mom.

Optical speed bumps

In West Vancouver a new optical speed bump is being used that makes it look as if a young girl is darting out in front of the driver's car. I can't imagine this is a good idea because once people realize this is just a trick, they'll stop slowing down when they see children in front of their cars. Of course then again this will turn every child in Vancouver into a literal speed bump, so maybe there's an upside.
