RCMP say an officer who died Wednesday was being proactive in a stolen truck investigation when he and another officer were shot inside a casino.

Const. David Matthew Wynn should be remembered as a great police officer and citizen, RCMP Assistant Commissioner Marlin Degrand told reporters after it was announced that the 42-year-old had died in hospital.

Degrand said Wynn was taking the initiative during the slow early morning hours last Saturday, checking out vehicle licence plates in the parking lot of the Apex Casino in St. Albert, a bedroom community north of Edmonton.

British nurse Pauline Cafferkey, who contracted Ebola in Sierra Leone, is showing signs of improvement and is no longer critically ill, the Royal Free hospital in London has said.

The Scottish public health worker remains in isolation at the hospital where she is receiving specialist care. She was diagnosed with Ebola after returning to Glasgow and was admitted to the city’s Gartnavel hospital on 29 December before being transferred to the Royal Free the following day.

Cafferkey, from Cambuslang in south Lanarkshire, had volunteered with Save the Children at the Ebola treatment centre in Kerry Town before returning to the UK.

Laura Kane The Canadian PressA B.C. nurse practitioner who was being tested for Ebola will be reunited with her family on Friday after health care workers confirmed she does not have the virus.

Patrice Gordon of Rossland, B.C., travelled to Sierra Leone in November to provide medical care to people suffering from Ebola and returned to Canada on Christmas Day. She checked into hospital in Kelowna, B.C. on Monday after she felt cold symptoms.

She tested negative for Ebola on Tuesday, but remained in hospital for further testing until her release on Thursday. Gordon told reporters in a conference call that she never truly feared she had the disease.

“I knew there was a very, very outside chance, but it never felt that way to me. I didn’t feel sick like I had seen people sick there. I knew how absolutely meticulous I had always been, we had always been,” she said.

Diddy Throws 3Pc on Drake And He Ain't 0 to 100 - Currently Hospitalized


Drake is definitely having a not-so-good week.

After being named during Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran’s relationship drama this past weekend, the Canadian rapper and songwriter has reportedly also been hospitalized following a club brawl with P.Diddy.

According to Rick Ross’s DJ (via BET), the two were partying at LIV in Miami for DJ Khaled‘s birthday party and there was a fight between the hip hop stars and Drake may be recovering from a dislocated shoulder.

MTV News spoke to a source who was in attendance at the Miami hot spot that confirmed there was an altercation between the stars. Though the reason for the tussle is not known, early rumors had already started circulating that it was over Diddy’s girlfriend, Cassie.

Rick Ross’s DJ, DJ Sam Sneaker, however tweeted that it wasn't because of Cassie.

It definitely wasn't about Cassie.

Tragic! Baby And Mother Who Went Missing From Hospital Found Dead


ITV News
A mother who walked out of a Bristol maternity hospital on Tuesday night with her newborn baby have both been found dead.

 The bodies of Charlotte Bevan and her daughter Zaani were discovered in the Avon Gorge, near the city's Clifton Suspension bridge. For two days people held on to whatever hope they could find, that something else, however far fetched, had become of this five-day-old baby girl. But  those hopes were extinguished.

There are questions for the hospital amid local criticism that it has let down this baby and her mother with her history of mental health issues. Should she have been more closely monitored, should one of the people she passed on the way out that night not have noticed and asked her where she was going? The Trust says it has launched a thorough review to find out if their deaths could have been prevented.
