THREE DEAD IN KANSAS JEWISH CENTER SHOOTINGS
Three people, including a grandfather and his grandson, were killed yesterday in attacks on Jewish community centers in Kansas. The suspect in custody is a known white supremicist, and video of his arrest shows him yelling "Heil Hitler." For Mindy Corporon, the gut-wrenching loss of her father and son led her to speak at a prayer vigil, saying, "And I know they're in heaven together." [HuffPost/AP]
UKRAINIAN DEADLINE PASSES
Instead of laying down their weapons, "Pro-Russian protesters forced police out of a building in the eastern Ukrainian city of Horlivka, witnesses reported Monday." So much for deadlines. [CNN]
DEADLY VIRUS STRIKES MIDEAST
"Saudi Arabia on Sunday confirmed a surge of cases of a deadly virus in the kingdom over the past two weeks, even as it tried to counter criticism that it wasn't doing enough to contain the outbreak.The United Arab Emirates over the weekend separately announced six confirmed cases of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, or MERS, among paramedics there, one of whom died of the illness." [WSJ]
STATESIDE: Sebelius: Staying 'Wasn't an Option'
Bodies of seven babies were discovered in shoeboxes in a Utah mother's basement. Hillary Clinton's relationship with Boeing is being questioned. Tomorrow is the one-year anniversary of the Boston bombing, and a photographer who was on the scene remembers the day. And outgoing HHS secretary Kathleen Sebelius said staying on after the Obamacare rollout "wasn't an option."
In catch news, here's a polar bear who loves his frisbee.
INTERNATIONAL INTRIGUE: Missing Plane Search Goes Underwater
After no pings for six days, the search for the missing plane officially moves underwater with a robotic submarine. The UN Security Council met late Sunday in an emergency session to discuss the Ukrainian crisis. A raging wildfire in Chile killed 11 and destroyed over 500 homes. Many are feared dead after the bombing of a Nigerian commuter bus station. And welcome to Palm Selfie: Pope Francis just couldn't resist a good photo after Palm Sunday's services.
In faith news, here's a bunch of dogs praying before dinner.
BUY! SELL! BUY! Taxes, Schmaxes
According to the Wall Street Journal, hope still remains for the market. Thought your Passover grocery run was more expensive than usual? It's not just you. Next time you think tweeting terrorist threats to get better airline customer service is a good idea, check yourself. And worried about your taxes? Don't stress -- audits are at their lowest since the 1980s.
In stuck news, here's a dog who can't get out of a coat sleeve.
SCOUTING REPORT: Bubba and His Son Win the Masters
Bubba Watson's son may not have gotten a green jacket, but he definitely "won" the Masters. Deadspin walks us through what it takes for a pitcher to doctor a baseball. Liverpool beat Man City -- they might take the league title after all. And a 49ers linebacker was arrested after saying he had a bomb at the airport, because that's a good idea.
In meatlovers news, here's a bunch of kids who love bacon.
CULTURE CATCH-UP: Purple Wedding > Red Wedding
Here's how the media would report on the "purple wedding" from last night's "Game of Thrones." Best.wedding.ever. The incredible Matt Seitz explains the dark season 7 opener of "Mad Men" -- if Peggy doesn't up her game, we're gonna be very upset with Matthew Weiner. And it turns out even hipsters love the world's favorite couple, as Jay-Z and Queen B rocked their surprise appearance at Coachella.
In best friends news, here's a bunch of goats riding horses.
