Arrested

Authorities arrested five senior members of the Wheaton College (Ill.) football team for a 2016 hazing incident allegedly involving aggravated battery, unlawful restraint, and mob action. The accuser says the five grabbed him from his dorm room, duct-taped him, terrorized him, injured his shoulders, and left him in a park. That student left Wheaton. Another student hazed that evening had a very different reaction and remains on the team. The accused players turned themselves in and posted bail, with an arraignment scheduled for Oct. 23.

Removed

A Navy hospital announced Sept. 18 it had removed two staff workers who mistreated newborns. One woman made a video of her holding up an infant by the armpits and moving its arms and legs in tune to rap music. Another image showed a staffer’s hand as she made an obscene gesture over a baby’s crib. The staffer captioned the picture: “How I currently feel about these mini Satans.” The images went viral on the internet, and the Navy removed the workers from patient care. They are still currently serving at a Navy hospital in Jacksonville, Fla. The Navy has banned all private cell phone use near patients.

Died

Evangelist Nabeel Qureshi, a convert from Islam, died on Sept. 16 at age 34 from stomach cancer. Qureshi grew up in a Pakistani-American Muslim family and learned about Christianity when he read the Bible in medical school. He had planned to debate a friend, but Jesus won him over instead. Qureshi said God found him in “investigations, dreams, and visions.” He earned his M.D. but went on to get master’s degrees in Christian apologetics and religion. Qureshi worked with Ravi Zacharias International Ministries and wrote two books about evangelizing to Muslims.

Died

College football player Robert Grays, age 19, died at a Houston hospital on Sept. 22 from a neck injury he suffered while making a tackle during a game three days earlier. Grays, a sophomore cornerback at Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls, Texas, made the tackle during the Mustangs’ game against Texas A&M University-Kingsville and was immediately rushed to a hospital. Kyle Williams, interim athletic director at MSU, told The Wichitan that the play involved a routine tackle: “He made this tackle hundreds of times, but it was just one of those situations that landed wrong.”

Arrested

London police detained a 17-year-old boy, the sixth in a series of arrests connected to a domestic terror case. A homemade bomb exploded during rush hour in the London Tube, injuring 30 people on Sept. 15. A rapid inquiry led the police to five different addresses. The police caught the teenager in a private home neighbors identified as a halfway house for asylum seekers. Scotland Yard has announced the arrests of six males, four men and two teenagers. The second teenager, an 18-year-old, was arrested at the Port of Dover. He is believed to have moved from Iraq at age 15 when his parents died. He had also been referred to an anti-extremist program before his arrest.
