(The Columbus Dispatch) Two men -- one a former Ohio State football player -- have been charged with shooting two Columbus police officers during a drug raid last night.

Michael T. Gravely, 19, and Derrick L. Foster, 38, are each charged with two counts of felonious assault and two counts of attempted murder in the shootings of Officers John Gillis and Anthony Garrison. This afternoon, both officers are out of surgery at Grant Medical Center. Though their conditions are not considered life-threatening, they may remain hospitalized for several days.

Gillis, 48, and Garrison, 44, are both 21-year police veterans. They were identified in the police complaint in Franklin County Municipal Court.

Foster is a code-enforcement supervisor in the city's Development Department, making $29.76 an hour, according to city records. He oversees the Milo-Grogan neighborhood. Click here read full Scoopy Doop.

(AOL) - San Diego State University has suspended six fraternities after a sweeping drug investigation that landed members of three fraternities in jail on suspicion of openly dealing drugs on campus.

1 of 5 Authorities on Tuesday said they arrested nearly 100 people, most of them students, in a sweeping drug bust at San Diego State University. Here, bags of drugs and handguns that were seized in the investigation are pictured.

The probe - prompted by the cocaine overdose death last year of a freshman sorority member - led to the arrests of 96 people, 75 of them San Diego State students. A second drug death occurred during the investigation.

Twenty-nine people were arrested early Tuesday in raids at nine locations including the Theta Chi fraternity, where agents found cocaine, Ecstasy and three guns. Eighteen of those arrested were wanted on warrants for selling to undercover agents.

Theta Chi and five other fraternities have been suspended pending a hearing on evidence gathered during the investigation, dubbed Operation Sudden Fall.

Authorities said some fraternity members openly dealt drugs, and that one sent a mass text message advertising special prices on cocaine. Two kilograms of cocaine were seized in all, along with 350 Ecstasy pills, marijuana, psychedelic mushrooms, hash oil, methamphetamine, illicit prescription drugs, several guns and at least $60,000 in cash, authorities said.

(AJC) This is really sad news, my heart truly goes out to this man’s family. Kirk Wright, a Harvard educated manager of a popular hedge fund killed himself this past Memorial Day weekend after being convicted of mail fraud, securities fraud, and money laundering in federal court.

Kirk Wright was the manager of the Marietta Hedge Fund. The bigger issue here to me is that a well educated, intelligent brother has taken his own life. A problem we often neglect in black communities and believe it or not white communities as well is how serious depression really is. It seems we have yet to find a productive way as a society to deal with how people emotionally handle times of crisis. Often these states of depression drive people right off the edge and they do drastic things like committing violent crimes even inflicting pain upon themselves. I send my deepest condolences to this brothers family and I pray that as a community we can start discussing the need to make mental health a core issue in our lives and finding beneficial remedies.
