A nurse in Western Pennsylvania was charged on Wednesday with two murder counts for allegedly administering large doses of insulin to her patients, killing two men, said the state's Attorney General Michelle Henry.
Heather Pressdee, 40, was working at Quality Life Services, a nursing facility in Chicora, when she administered insulin shots to a 55-year-old man and an 83-year-old man because she felt their "quality of life was not good," according to a police affidavit.
Pressdee also allegedly administered insulin to a third victim, a 73-year-old man, who survived after emergency hospitalization, said the affidavit.
An Arizona grand jury indicted 18 people Wednesday in the ongoing investigation into an alleged attempt to use alternate electors after the 2020 presidential election as part of a wider alleged conspiracy to falsely declare then-President Donald Trump the winner, the state's attorney general announced.
Almost four out of every 10 people in the United States live in a place where air pollution is considered bad enough to put their health at risk, the American Lung Association warned in its latest "State of the Air" report released on Wednesday. That proportion of people — about 39% of the population — had risen sharply since earlier rounds of pollutant data were analyzed for the annual report last year, and the trends were especially pronounced in certain parts of the country.
