In an effort to prove his love for the 15-year-old mother of his child, a 15-year-old San Antonio boy allegedly used a Molotov cocktail to torch a neighbor’s home.
Heather Tirado said she was still in shock over the loss of her home and her pets, which were killed in the fire. Investigators said the 15-year-old destroyed his neighbor’s home to prove he wasn’t having a relationship with Tirado’s 13-year-old daughter, a claim the boy’s girlfriend allegedly made.

A Chinese restaurant in Hamburg, N.Y., was shut down by the health department after an inspector found employees butchering a deer inside.
Officials don’t know whether the dead deer at China King had been hunted or was roadkill.
“From our standpoint, it doesn’t matter,” said Health Commissioner Dr. Anthony J. Billittier IV.
Butchering an animal inside a restaurant is against the law in New York. Diseases such as E. coli can be spread through unsafe butchering.
“In general, you can’t have a dead animal in a food services establishment,” Billittier said.
