Killed by a Flying Bear on This Day in History

 

This day in history: On this day in 2011, an unnamed woman from Gatineau, Canada, 25, and an unnamed 40-year-old man from Ottawa were killed in an accident on a rural Quebec road when a "flying bear" collided with their SUV. The 440 lb black bear was sent airborne by a car in front of the SUV after it had stepped into the path of traffic on Highway 148. The bear passed through the windshield, hitting the driver and the passenger sitting behind her before passing through the rear window. The driver's boyfriend was in the front passenger seat and received injuries to his upper body which were described as "not life-threatening". The bear also died.

The Lululemon Murder on This Day in History

 

This Day in History: On this day in 2011, Brittany Norwood crushed her co-worker Jayna Murray's skull and severed her spinal cord in a brutal 2011 attack now known as the "Lululemon murder."

Statements by police officials and testimony during the trial indicated that on the evening of the murder, Murray and Norwood checked each others' bags for unpaid merchandise, a routine security procedure at Lululemon and other retail stores. Murray found a pair of pants in Norwood's bag, and called their manager after she left the store. The manager said she would deal with it in the morning. A few minutes later, Norwood called Murray to say she'd forgotten something, and asked Murray to return to the store and let her in. When Murray arrived, Norwood attacked her, moved her car, then staged the scene to look like a robbery, putting on a pair of men's shoes to track blood across the floor; tossing mops, broom, and chairs around the store; and finally cutting herself and binding her own wrists and ankles with zipties.

This crime was so savage that Jayna Murray had no fewer than 331 injuries on her body that came from at least five different weapons.

In January of 2012, Brittany Norwood was sentenced to life in prison for first degree murder.
