[DM] The Texas mother who allegedly stabbed her two young children and their father in a horrifying early-morning rampage was struggling with postpartum depression, according to her recovering husband.
Holly Flores, 37, is accused of attacking her husband Justin Hommel, 34, and their 3-year-old daughter and 10-month-old son inside the family's home in Northlake, north of Dallas, early Tuesday morning.
Hommel called 911 around 4.20 a.m. after fighting off his wife, who had allegedly stabbed him and both children.
When officers arrived, they found Hommel outside the home holding the kitchen knife allegedly used in the attack, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by Fox 4.
Police detained Flores and rushed into the home, discovering the couple's daughter and baby boy lying on a bed, covered in blood.
As Flores was placed in an ambulance, she told officers she 'wanted to kill herself and she no longer wanted to live,' according to the affidavit.
But the nightmare had begun hours before the bloody attack, when Hommel awoke to the sound of his wife repeatedly trying to ignite a lighter.
Hommel told investigators he had been sleeping on the couch to help his wife, who he said had been struggling with postpartum depression since giving birth to their son 10 months earlier.

[FoxNews] Andrew Darrick Tanaka allegedly shot a woman in the shoulder and fired into multiple vehicles on Interstate 35 in Iowa
An Iowa man accused of opening fire on passing vehicles along an interstate and wounding a woman allegedly made a chilling admission to police after his arrest, according to court documents.
Andrew Darrick Tanaka, 27, of West Des Moines, faces four counts of attempted murder in Monday afternoon's shootings along Interstate 35 in Warren County, according to the Iowa Department of Public Safety.
After being taken into custody, Tanaka allegedly told law enforcement, "I had to kill people today," according to a criminal complaint and affidavit filed Tuesday in Warren County District Court.
The incident began around 3:31 p.m. Monday when authorities received multiple 911 calls reporting gunfire along the northbound lanes of I-35.
Tanaka was driving a black Chevrolet Equinox when a woman driving a black BMW passed him on the interstate, according to the affidavit. The BMW then passed a Subaru Outback.
Investigators allege Tanaka caught up to the Subaru and fired at least two rounds through the driver's side window, striking the woman behind the wheel in her left shoulder.
He then allegedly caught up to the BMW and fired another round through its driver's side window.
Tanaka continued north before rear-ending a gray Nissan Altima carrying two people, according to the affidavit.
When the Nissan's occupants stopped to check on him, Tanaka allegedly got out of his vehicle with a handgun and fired at least one round into the car's windshield.
Deputies from the Warren County Sheriff's Office, officers from the West Des Moines Police Department and Iowa State Patrol troopers responded to reports of gunfire near mile marker 56.
Officers found the wounded woman and several vehicles that appeared to have been struck by gunfire. The woman was taken to a hospital with injuries that authorities said did not appear to be life-threatening.
Police later found Tanaka along the interstate after his vehicle became disabled after the collision.
He was standing on the shoulder of the highway holding a handgun when officers arrived, according to the affidavit. Tanaka was taken into custody without further incident.
The shootings prompted authorities to shut down the interstate for several hours while investigators processed the scene.
Tanaka was booked into the Warren County Jail on four counts of attempted murder.

[Regnum] In the US, a 14-year-old schoolgirl gave birth to her own father's child, then dumped the baby on the highway and ran away. The newspaper reported this on October 7.LA Times.
The body of a newborn baby was discovered on August 1 near a highway in Monterrey County, California. It was later discovered that the mother was a 14-year-old schoolgirl who had been impregnated by her father, Sergio Galvez Perez. By the time the baby's body was discovered, the man and his daughter had already fled.
The schoolgirl's mother, Ofelia Garcia Ortega, was arrested on suspicion of child endangerment but released after posting $50,000 bail. The fugitive father and daughter were soon located in Mexico.
Not Americans, then, but illegals who brought their tragically bad traditions with them.
The schoolgirl was transferred to the custody of a local child protection agency, and the man was detained. He was charged with incest, child abuse, and causing grievous bodily harm to the victim.

[Regnum] In Salvador, Brazil, a wild capuchin monkey entered a residential building, drank alcohol, and began attacking people. This was reported by the local publication UOL.
According to the publication, the animal climbed into one of the apartment complex's windows and found alcohol and some pills in the apartment. This provoked the monkey to become agitated, and it began attacking people. Law enforcement officers who arrived on the scene managed to capture the animal using a net and leather gloves.
Three residents of the complex and a security guard were injured in the attack. They were taken to the police station to give statements and have the incident recorded. The capuchin was taken to a wildlife triage center. After examining it, veterinarians reported that the animal was extremely weak and required medical attention.
In early August, an aggressive monkey was captured on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. It had attacked 18 people, including children and the elderly, over the course of two weeks. The series of attacks forced the temporary closure of dozens of schools in the region.
[NorthPress] Six Syrian sailors are missing after the cargo ship Alpha Vatan sank in the Black Sea off Bulgaria following a drone attack, Bulgarian media reported on Wednesday.
The commercial cargo vessel sank late Tuesday after it was targeted by drones in Bulgaria’s exclusive economic zone in the Black Sea, according to Bulgarian media.
The vessel, owned by a Turkish company and sailing under the flag of Togo, was carrying a six-member crew and was heading to the Romanian port of Sulina.
Bulgarian Prime Minister Rumen Radev said drones targeted two vessels in the country’s exclusive economic zone late Tuesday, causing a fire on one ship and sinking the other.
Radev said Bulgarian authorities did not yet have precise information about the party behind the drone attacks.
Bulgarian media said they contacted Syrian media outlets in Latakia, which confirmed that six Syrian sailors were aboard the Alpha Vatan.

The crew members of the Liberian-flagged oil tanker attacked off the coast of Sochi in the Black Sea refused hospitalization. This was reported on October 7 by the city administration's press service.
City authorities have established a response center to deal with the aftermath of the tanker attack. The open fire on the vessel has been extinguished. Rescue vessels remain on duty, monitoring the waters and coastline. The tanker is drifting along the coastline of Sochi's Lazarevsky District.
"No oil spills were recorded, and air and water quality monitoring results are within regulatory limits," noted Sochi Mayor Andrei Proshunin.
On the evening of October 6, a tanker caught fire in the Black Sea off the coast of Sochi. The vessel was attacked by unmanned boats of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The tanker had a crew of 23, all Indian citizens. They were rescued.
SOFIA, Oct 7 (Reuters) - Bulgaria has halted its search for the missing crew of a ship that sank after being hit by a drone about 70 nautical miles (130 km) off its coast, Vice-Admiral Rumen Nikolov of the Maritime Administration Executive Agency said on Wednesday.
Early on Tuesday, two ships were hit in a drone attack in Bulgaria's Black Sea exclusive economic zone. One sank and the other was damaged. The crew of the damaged ship were rescued, but the crew of the sunken one remain missing.
Nikolov said 12 crew members were believed to have been on board the ship which sank, all of them from Syria. The rescue operation will not resume, he added.
"There are no traces of the sailors from the first ship, and there will be none. There is also no information about drone remains," he told reporters.
"A boat, three life rafts and parts of the ship's equipment have been found."
It was not immediately clear who carried out the attack involving air and sea drones in waters off the coastal town of Byala in eastern Bulgaria, but there are growing concerns about hybrid attacks by Russia as it wages war in Ukraine.
[Reuters] Microsoft (MSFT.O), opens new tab unveiled on Wednesday an AI coding model that can run directly on personal computers and new security technology to prevent AI agents from accessing data without permission, challenging Apple's push to bring more AI into personal devices.
The software company also presented at the event in San Francisco a high-powered Surface laptop called Ultra powered by Nvidia's RTX Spark chips. Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft is seeking to turn Windows into a platform for AI agents to handle tasks such as writing computer code or tackling complex business projects on desktops and laptops.
For Microsoft, the move represents a bet that some work that currently happens in its costly Azure cloud computing data centers can shift to high-powered Windows machines in businesses and homes, a market where the firm retains a stronghold — and where its customers foot the hardware bills. It is a market opportunity rival Apple is also chasing with new Mac computers.
For Nvidia, cracking the Windows PC market could help it go after one of the last major markets dominated by Intel and Advanced Micro Devices.
As a guardrail against increasingly autonomous AI agents that have created security risks, Microsoft said it was releasing Microsoft Execution Containers, a tool to prevent agents from accessing data and doing unauthorized tasks when running on a laptop or desktop machine. Anthropic, OpenAI and Nvidia will use the tools, said Pavan Davuluri, executive vice president for Windows and devices.
“We needed to make the desktop the most secure place for agents to execute,” Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said.
Davuluri said new tools would let IT departments set rules for agents and the Windows operating system would enforce those rules on each employee’s machine.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who joined Nadella on stage, said Microsoft’s new execution container technology, which goes by MXC for short, "is going to revolutionize how agents are built and deployed.”
“Without it, (agents are) a complete nonstarter,” he said.
Nvidia is trying to prevent a repeat of the hack of AI hub Hugging Face, while Apple is looking to tighten up the process for giving AI agents full access to a Mac computer's hard drive.
[ZERO] A golden statue of a naked Donald Trump is on display at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France, at one of the busiest intersections connecting two of the Parliament's buildings, and is scheduled to stay until Thursday. Named Orange Plague, the 8.5-foot sculpture shows the US president holding justice scales and a long golf club, its ball made to look like the world, while sitting on the shoulders of a smaller, clothed man. Text on the plinth reads: "I am sitting on the back of a man. He is sinking under my burden. I will do anything to help him. Except stepping down from his back."
