Students at the University of Massachusetts Amherst are demanding action over allegations of sexual assault. The anger and frustration has been mounting ever since an anonymous post alleging sexual assault at a fraternity on campus went viral last weekend.
Nearly 100 students on Wednesday gathered to share their stories and hold the administration accountable for what they call a culture of rape, harassment and secrecy on campus.
In recent days, protesters have gathered outside of the Theta Chi Fraternity house, where the alleged sexual assault occurred. The protest turned violent with shattered windows and a flipped car.
Authorities made two gruesome discoveries Tuesday after a Missouri woman walked into a police station and told officers that she fatally shot one of her children and drowned the other, officials said. Jefferson County Sheriff Dave Marshak said at a news conference that authorities believe both children were killed Tuesday morning.
Strong storms with damaging winds and baseball-sized hail pummeled Texas on Tuesday, leaving more than one million businesses and homes without power as much of the U.S. recovered from severe weather, including tornadoes, that killed at least 24 people in seven states during the Memorial Day holiday weekend.
