Amri, a convicted criminal who couldn't get asylum and who even evaded deportation from Germany, had previously been deemed a possible jihadi threat.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Austin authorities say a woman's exuberance over the Dallas Cowboys winning their football game Sunday night led her stepson to fatally stab her.

Detectives say her 20-year-old stepson believed she was disrespecting his father so he stabbed her several times.
