Authorities say an armed man walked up to the drive through of the Burger King at 42nd and D just after midnight and demanded money. The suspect made off with an undisclosed amount of cash and fled on foot. ------------------------------------- A man who authorities said wanted to commit acts of "violent jihad" against civilians was charged Friday in a plot to set off hand grenades in garbage cans at a shopping mall, authorities said. Derrick Shareef, 22, of Rockford, was arrested Wednesday when he met with an undercover agent in a parking lot to trade a set of stereo speakers for four hand grenades and a handgun. Shareef was acting alone and not in concert with any terrorist group, authorities said. Officials said Shareef had been under investigation since September, when he told an acquaintance that "he wanted to commit acts of violent jihad against targets in the United States as well as commit other crimes." The acquaintance immediately informed the FBI, officials said. ------------------------------------- A Millard high school had extra police officers on hand Wednesday after threatening graffiti was found in a bathroom. Administrators at Millard South say they investigated the messages and found nothing to indicate that any sort of attack was being planned. Extra security was brought in as a precaution.
A Fremont teen is facing an attempted murder charge after allegedly attacking a man with a knife yesterday morning. Police say the 15-year-old stabbed his 40-year-old neighbor with a butcher knife several times, but the victim was able to overpower the attacker before he was seriously injured.
