VALLEY SPRINGS, Calif. - Authorities have arrested the 12-year-old brother of an 8-year-old girl who was mysteriously stabbed to death at her home in a rural Northern California community last month.

The boy, who was not identified, will be charged with homicide, according to Calaveras County Sheriff Gary Kuntz.

The April 27 attack on Leila Fowler shook the Valley Springs community of about 7,400 people and set off a massive manhunt.

The boy had told police he found his sister's body and encountered an intruder in the home while their parents were at a Little League game. However, police said there was no sign of a burglary or robbery. - AP

NEW ORLEANS - Gunmen opened fire on dozens of people marching in a Mother's Day second-line parade in New Orleans on Sunday, wounding at least 19 people, police said.

The FBI said that the shooting appeared to be "street violence" and wasn't linked to terrorism.

Many of the victims were grazed and most of the wounds weren't life-threatening, according to a police news release. The victims included 10 men, seven women, a boy and a girl. Second-line parades are loose processions in which people dance down the street, often following behind a brass band. - AP
