ODESSA, Texas – A West Texas man who pleaded guilty and got life in prison without parole for killing his pregnant common-law wife and her mother in 2005 has committed suicide.
Texas Department of Criminal Justice spokeswoman Michelle Lyons said Tuesday that Leo Angel Luna was found hanging in his cell in the Connally Unit in Karnes County in southern Texas early Saturday.
He was taken to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead a short time later.
Lyons says Luna, who was housed separately because he was a suspected gang member, used a bed sheet and attached it to the cell’s door.
In 2007, the then-22-year-old Luna pleaded guilty to killing 19-year-old Diana Ponce (PAHN’-say) and her 49-year-old mother, Blanca Ponce. Diana Ponce’s baby died during an emergency Caesarean section

NEW YORK (AP) — It sounds fishy but a New York City pet shop owner says it’s true. Buttkiss, the black pacu he owns, is 43 and weighs 20 pounds. A pacu is a breed that’s related to the piranha. Steve Gruebel owns Cameo Pet Shop in Queens. He got Buttkiss in 1967 when he was just a wee thing. He sold him a year later when Buttkiss was two inches long. But in 1970, Buttkiss was returned when he outgrew the buyer’s tank….

Update on ‘Paranormal Activity 2′
DALLAS – An off-duty sheriff’s deputy was hailed as a hero Monday for preventing further bloodshed by shooting at a gunman who was headed into a Wal-Mart in east Texas following a shootout with police .
Delta County Deputy Paul Robertson was shot in the chest Sunday as he exchanged gunfire with the man at the store in Commerce, Sheriff Gerald Teague said. The suspect died. Authorities say they are unsure whether Robertson or Commerce police fired the fatal shots.
"Obviously, he saved lives," Teague said. "There’s no telling what the guy was going to do in Wal-Mart with those weapons."Authorities identified the gunman as 29-year-old Artenio Rodriguez of Commerce. A working telephone number could not be located for his family.
The incident began when police received a call that Rodriguez was firing shots into the air in nearby Greenville, about 50 miles northeast of Dallas. Commerce police intercepted the car just outside the city limits, where the man exchanged gunfire with officers, city spokeswoman Marty Cunningham said.
He then drove to Wal-Mart and tried to enter the store carrying a handgun and an assault rifle. Robertson, a father of two, was inside shopping with his wife.
"He heard the commotion and people screaming," Teague said. "He told his wife to go to the rear of the store. The man was just outside the store where the entrance is. He ordered him to put the weapons down and the guy didn’t."
Robertson identified himself as a law enforcement official and ordered Rodriguez to drop his weapons, Cunningham said.
Robertson shot at the suspect six times, Teague said. It’s unclear how many times the suspect was struck. Police also fired on him from the parking lot.
Authorities say Robertson’s wound was caused by the shooter and not by Commerce police.
The deputy was texting friends and talking on the telephone Monday and expected to be released from the hospital later in the day, Teague said.
"He’s doing great," Teague said. "He is very courageous."

The Energizer Bunny infects PCs with backdoor malware, the Department of Homeland Security’s US-CERT said Friday.
According to researchers at US-CERT (United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team), software that accompanies the Energizer DUO USB battery charger contains a Trojan horse that gives hackers total access to a Windows PC.
The Energizer DUO, a USB-powered nickel-metal hydride battery recharger, has been discontinued, said Energizer Holdings, which late Fri
day confirmed that the software contains malicious code. The company has not said how the Trojan made its way into the software, however. "Energizer is currently working with both CERT and U.S. government officials to understand how the code was inserted in the software," Energizer said in a statement.
Energizer’s DUO was sold in the U.S., Latin America, Europe and Asia starting in 2007.
The Windows software included with the charger is designed to show battery-charging status. When the software is installed, it creates the file "Arucer.dll," which is actually a Trojan that listens for commands on TCP port 7777. Upon instructions, the Trojan can download and execute files, transmit files stolen from the PC, or tweak the Windows registry. The Trojan automatically executes each time the PC is turned on, and remains active, even if the Energizer charger is not connected to the machine.
US-CERT urged users who had installed the Energizer software to uninstall it, which disables the automatic execution of the Trojan. Alternately, users can remove the Arucer.dll from Windows’ "system32" directory, then reboot the machine. (See "10 Quick Fixes for the Worst Security Nightmares.")
Both US-CERT and Symantec have published advisories about the Trojan.
Energizer said it has removed the software from its download site, and added that although it had offered similar software for Mac OS X, only the Windows version had been infected.
This isn’t the first time that a hardware company has planted malware on unsuspecting customers’ PCs. In 2007, Seagate Technology admitted that an unknown number of its hard drives left an Asian manufacturing plant with Trojan horses, while the year before that Apple warned iPod owners that some of the music players carried a Windows virus.
In early 2008, electronic retailer Best Buy confirmed it had sold digital picture frames with attack code that spread to connected PCs.
WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — The rare spirits that went under the gavel at a recent online auction in New Zealand weren’t aged brandies or hard-to-find liqueurs.
Instead, two glass vials purportedly containing the ghosts of two dead people sold for $2,830 New Zealand dollars ($1,983) at an auction that ended Monday night.
The "ghosts" were put up for bidding by Avie Woodbury from the southern city of Christchurch. She said they were captured in her house and stored in glass vials with stoppers and dipped in holy water, which she says "dulls the spirits’ energy."
She said they were the spirits of an old man who lived in the house during the 1920s, and a powerful, disruptive little girl who turned up after a session with a spirit-calling Ouija board. Since an exorcism at the property last July led to their capture, there has been no further spooky activity in the house, she said.

It’s a bird … it’s a plane … it’s a UFO?
That’s what one Lake Erie, Ohio, resident is claiming. Eugene Erlikh snapped a half a dozen photos of something unusual floating in the sky. Erlikh believes the photos show a UFO, Fox8.com reports.
Erlikh told Fox8.com that the objects emitted "brilliant" colors and were flying solo, and occasionally in group formations. The objects appeared to be "making line formations and triangles in the sky."
Erlikh, an EMT and paramedic student, also recorded video footage of what he says are "astonishing captures."

DALLAS – Dallas police say a 5-year-old boy drowned after falling off a bridge into a creek near his home in Pleasant Grove. It happened Friday night in the 200 block of South Seagoville Road. FOX 4’s Sophia Reza has the latest.
NEW CANEY — A driver was arrested on Saturday after a hit-and-run in southeast Montgomery County killed a 13-year-old boy walking with a friend.
Kendrick Owens, a seventh-grader leaving a sleepover, was struck by a pickup on FM 1485 and Kidd Cemetery Road. He and a friend were walking on the paved shoulder when the truck swerved into their path. The friend jumped out of the way, but the impact threw Kendrick over a guard rail.
The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office said several motorists had reported a reckless driver traveling in a 1998 blue Dodge Dakota. After the child was hit, witnesses reportedly rushed to help him while a wrecker driver followed the pickup.
KHOU-Channel 11 reports that the suspect drove to his home in the 17000 block of Oak Grove and ran into the home, but came out a few minutes later.
The wrecker driver told the suspect that he struck a child. Officers arrived and arrested the man, KHOU said.
Kendrick was airlifted to a hospital with a severe head injury, but died later. Family and friends gathered at the New Caney Worship Center Saturday evening to hold a vigil for the boy, KHOU reported.
DPS troopers said the suspect, who reportedly smelled heavily of alcohol, is facing charges of failing to stop and render aid and intoxication manslaughter.

BROWNSVILLE — A man accused of beheading three children has been found competent to stand trial.
A jury on Friday found John Allen Rubio, 29, competent to stand trial in the 2003 deaths in Brownsville.
The Brownsville Herald reports that defense attorney Ed Stapleton argued that Rubio has a delusional disorder. State prosecutors said Rubio has been faking the disorder and did not suffer from any mental illness.
Rubio is being retried after an appeals court in 2007 reversed his conviction. The court cited the prosecution’s use of videotaped testimony from the children’s mother, Angela Camacho, that did not allow for cross-examination.
Camacho, Rubio’s common-law wife, was convicted in the killings and sentenced to life in prison.
Rubio was the biological father of one of the children.

WASHINGTON — Aiming to stay a step ahead of counterfeiters, the government is planning a new design for the $100 bill that will be unveiled next month, the Treasury Department said Friday.
Wraps will come off the facelift for Ben Franklin at an April 21 ceremony in the ornate Cash Room at the department, the site of Ulysses S. Grant’s first inaugural ball in 1869. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke will do the honors.
The government says its decisions on redesigning currency are guided by assessments of counterfeiting threats, from digital technology or old-fashioned printing presses.
The C-note— the highest value of all U. S. bills — circulates widely around the globe.
The unveiling of the new design is the first step in a global campaign by the Treasury Department, the Federal Reserve Board and the Secret Service to inform users of the bill of the changes before it starts circulating, Treasury said in a news release.
Training materials on the new $100 bill for those who handle cash and educational information will be available in 25 languages beginning on April 21 at www.newmoney.gov .
