PORTERVILLE, Calif. –  Authorities say three people are dead and four others -- including two young girls -- are wounded after a shooting Saturday night on a Tulare County Indian reservation. Sheriff's officials say when deputies were called to trailer on the Tule Indian Reservation at 7:47 p.m. they found the body of a man and a woman in the trailer and a third body-- that of a another man -- nearby. Deputies also found a wounded male juvenile. His condition was not known. Tulare County authorities did not immediately return a call to The Associated Press seeking details, but the Fresno Bee reports that a vehicle with the suspect -- 31-year-old Hector Celaya -- and his daughters, ages 5 and 8, was pulled over by deputies around 2 a.m. Sunday. The newspaper after an exchange of gunfire, Celaya was being treated for non-life threatening injuries.

MEXICO CITY Mexicans cleaned the bones of dead relatives and decorated their graves with flowers and candy skulls. In Haiti, voodoo practitioners circled an iron cross at a cemetery and poured moonshine to honor their ancestors. Some Guatemalans held a wild race of horses to remember the dead. Across the Western Hemisphere, people are paying homage to lost relatives in observances that began Thursday on All Saints Day and continue Friday with All Souls Day. The combined celebration known in many places as the Day of the Dead is a particularly colorful and macabre festival in Mexico that harks back to the Aztecs but has become part of Roman Catholic traditions. "In the European-Christian notion of death, our loved ones go far away and we're left to survive on our own.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
