• BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) -- A midday bombing that killed two bodyguards of an archconservative former interior minister and injured at least 39 people in a busy commercial district of Bogota has raised fears that violence not seen in the Colombian capital in years could return.
• Former Interior Minister Fernando Londono, 68, had glass shards removed from his chest and was out of danger, authorities said.
• But the ex-minister's driver and another bodyguard were killed almost instantly. Bogota Mayor Gustavo Petro said a pedestrian attached an explosive to a door of Londono's armored SUV and set it off remotely.
• Authorities said they had video of Tuesday's attack and Petro said the culprit "walked away disguised." A wig of long black hair and a hat were found nearby.
• It was the first fatal bombing of an apparently political nature in the capital in nearly a decade and it traumatized a capital that two decades earlier was ravaged by car bombs set off by drug traffickers fighting extradition to the United States.

• PORT ST. JOHN, Fla. (AP) -- In the middle of the night, Tonya Thomas' neighbors awoke to the sound of a gunshot and moments later heard a knock on their door.
• Three of Thomas' four children were outside, including one who appeared to have been shot. Before the neighbors could offer help, Thomas came out of her house and called the children back home.
• They complied. The neighbors dialed 911 after hearing more gunshots.
• Brevard County Sheriff's deputies found Thomas, 33, dead of an apparent self-inflicted wound and three of her children -- Jaxs Johnson, 15; Jazzlyn Johnson, 13; and Joel Johnson, 12 -- were fatally shot inside the house. A fourth child, Pebbles Johnson, 17, was found shot to death in the front yard of a neighbor's house.
• Investigators said they didn't know a motive for the shooting and weren't sure why the children followed their mother's orders to return to the house.
