Police believe the shooting was linked to a fight that occurred at the high school earlier that day. Three male students were arrested at the school after police broke up the fight. “At this point, the indicators that we have found….it’s a dispute over a girlfriend,” said Sherriff Doug Gillespie.

Peterson, a sixth-grade teacher and basketball coach at Lexington Middle School inNebraska, was placed on administrative leave last week. A judge issued an arrest warrant Monday charging her with kidnapping, child abuse and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Authorities believed the two were traveling together in Peterson's car and police nationwide were notified about them. Court documents said the boy was last seen Oct. 26. The boy was a student at the school, but it was not clear if Peterson was his teacher. In letters, the boy called Peterson his "Baby Gurl," and said their relationship was "just not about the sex but that it was pretty good," according to court documents. Court documents say Peterson's school-issued laptop contained letters to the student, including one from April saying she loved him, thought he loved her, was "100 percent

According to the College Board, the average tuition and fees at four-year public colleges rose 6.6 percent this year, forcing more students to increasing their borrowing for an education. Community colleges once again did the best job of maintaining their prices. In-state students at four-year public schools are paying $6,185 this year, up $381 from last year, according to the nonprofit College Board's annual survey of college costs, released Monday. At four-year private colleges, tuition and fees rose 6.3 percent to $23,712. The published price is not the real price for many students. On average, accounting for grants and tax breaks, full-time students are actually paying $2,577 this year to attend four-year public universities. That's $209 more than last year. The net price is still rising much faster than overall inflation. The net price at public universities is $560 higher, in 2007 dollars, than a decade ago. The last five years have seen prices rise 31 percent above the general inflation rate

Janet Dudley-Eshbach, the president of Salisbury University in Maryland,spent yesterday apologizing for two photographs and captions she had onthe social-networking Web site, Facebook. One of the picturesshowed her brandishing a stick before a Mexican man with a caption saying she had to "beat off the Mexicans because they were constantly flirting with my daughter."

The three Duke lacrosse players falsely accused of raping a woman at a party in 2006 are now seeking a settlement of nearly $30 million from the city of Durham, North Carolina as well as legal reforms that, had they been in place, would have cleared the men of the charges at a much earlier stage. As it happened, David Evans, Collin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann were cast as violent rapists who attacked the woman at a Duke University lacrosse party. Despite pleas of innocent the media, city and much of the nation believed the trio of men to be guilty and elevated racial tension in Durham after the accuser portrayed the rape in violent detail. At the heart of the case was Durham district attorney Mike Nifong who won indictments against the three despite having DNA evidence that clearly showed the men to be innocent of the charges. When it was discovered that Nifong had intentionally withheld evidence that showed the DNA evidence found on the accuser was not that of that of the three men state prosecutors
