Man Accidentally Shoots Himself At Gun Range
Greensboro police said 41-year-old Takahiro Takayama died Monday after he accidentally shot himself at Calibers Indoor Gun Range in Greensboro. Takayama was rushed to a local hospital.
Officials at Calibers said this has never happened at the range before.
"Treat every gun as loaded, whether it is or not. Doesn't matter if you've just checked it, you always make sure you're treating that thing like it is live and ready to go," said gun owner Dan Kent
Company officials said the range will operate on a regular schedule during the week.

Man, Officer Shot In Indianapolis Home
Gunfire seriously wounded a 63-year-old man and injured a police officer Wednesday night after a SWAT team entered a home on the city's east side, police said. An officer shot Wade Walton in the head around 11:15 p.m. after a standoff at his home at 1214 E. 19th St., police said.
Walton was in serious condition Thursday morning at Wishard Memorial Hospital.
Before being hit, Walton fired a shotgun pellet that struck a SWAT officer but did not break his skin, police said. The officer, whose name was not immediately available, was treated and released.
Police said they went to the house around 8 p.m. after Walton's mother reported that he threatened her with a shotgun.
Walton had a shotgun when he came to the door, police said. He then turned around and shut himself inside the home, police said.
Police tried unsuccessfully to call Walton for about three hours. A SWAT team then entered the home, police said.
Police said Walton is under arrest on four counts of battery with a firearm.

Report Clears Columbine Police
Wed Apr 17, 2:56 PM ET
GOLDEN, Colo. - An independent investigation released Wednesday concluded that one of the students killed in the Columbine High massacre was shot by one of the teen gunmen, not by a police officer as his parents had alleged.
The findings determined that Denver Police Sgt. Daniel O'Shea was not present when Daniel Rohrbough was shot, said Barry Arrington, an attorney for Rohrbough's parents.
"They find that Eric Harris was the shooter, the one who fired all three shots that hit Danny," Arrington said.
Rohrbough was among 12 students and a teacher killed by Harris and Dylan Klebold during the 1999 rampage in suburban Littleton. Harris and Klebold then killed themselves in the school library.
Rohrbough's family had alleged in a lawsuit that their son was accidentally killed during the assault by O'Shea, who denied the accusation.
Brian Rohrbough, Daniel's father, said the report gave the family some satisfaction.
"I believe for the first time in three years we have the very first plausible explanation for what happened to my son," he said.
The investigation was conducted by the El Paso County sheriff's office and detectives from Colorado Springs, at the request of Jefferson County.

Police say man who shot Kentucky sheriff may have been promised a job by rival candidate
Thu Apr 18, 6:37 AM ET
By ROGER ALFORD, Associated Press Writer
SOMERSET, Ky. - One apparently wanted to eliminate a powerful political rival. Another might have wanted a job. A third may have hoped his legal troubles would disappear.
Authorities said Wednesday that the three men accused in last week's sniper-style murder of Sheriff Sam Catron had different goals in mind before committing the crime.
"We believe it's all politically motivated," state police Detective Todd Dalton said. "Each one of those persons had their own motivation for the murder."
Jeff Morris, 34, wanted Catron killed to improve his own chances in the Republican primary for sheriff and may have promised gunman Danny Shelley a job, Dalton said.
"It's not uncommon to be promised a job for something like that," Dalton said.
Shelley, 30, has pleaded innocent to murder. Morris and Kenneth White, 54, were arrested on charges of complicity to murder a police officer. White, who previously faced drug charges, wanted Morris to win the race so he'd have a sheriff who would look the other way, Dalton said.
Mark Stanziano, Shelley's attorney, said Dalton is speculating about something he doesn't know.
"That's the great thing about America. Everybody has an opinion," Stanziano said. "But an opinion won't stand up in court."
It was unclear on Wednesday whether White and Morris had legal representation.
On Wednesday, thousands of people, including police officers and deputies from across the state, stood in line to walk past the open casket to pay respects to the slain lawman.
Michael Muse, a retired lieutenant from the Somerset Police Department, wiped tears as he left the building. He said he remembered Catron as a 12-year-old boy who hung around the police station to be near the action.
"He loved police work," Muse said. "If Sam ever expected to die, he expected to die in uniform."
Catron, 48, was seeking re-election to a fifth term when he was shot Saturday after he finished a campaign speech at a fish fry and political rally in Shopville, a tiny community about 70 miles south of Lexington.
Witnesses saw a man fleeing the scene on a motorcycle, and Shelley was captured after wrecking the cycle, which was registered to Morris.
Jim McWhorter, the chief deputy sworn in as sheriff hours after the shooting, said Morris was a deputy under Catron from 1996 to July 2001. Morris resigned as a result of an "internal matter" that McWhorter has declined to explain.
White was arrested last year for possessing cocaine, a charge that was dismissed after he agreed to serve as an informant. Shelley's criminal record has a litany of traffic offenses, one arrest for alcohol intoxication and one for assault.

Nanny-Cam May Leave a Home Exposed
Sat Apr 13, 2:55 PM ET
By JOHN SCHWARTZ The New York Times
Thousands of people who have installed a popular wireless video camera, intending to increase the security of their homes and offices, have instead unknowingly opened a window on their activities to anyone equipped with a cheap receiver.
The wireless video camera, which is heavily advertised on the Internet, is intended to send its video signal to a nearby base station, allowing it to be viewed on a computer or a television. But its signal can be intercepted from more than a quarter-mile away by off-the-shelf electronic equipment costing less than $250.
A recent drive around the New Jersey suburbs with two security experts underscored the ease with which a digital eavesdropper can peek into homes where the cameras are put to use as video baby monitors and inexpensive security cameras.
The rangy young driver pulled his truck around a corner in the well-to-do suburban town of Chatham and stopped in front of an unpretentious home. A window on his laptop's screen that had been flickering suddenly showed a crisp black-and-white video image: a living room, seen from somewhere near the floor. Baby toys were strewn across the floor, and a woman sat on a couch.
After showing the nanny-cam images, the man, a privacy advocate who asked that his name not be used, drove on, scanning other homes and finding a view from above a back door and of an empty crib.
In the nearby town of Madison, from the parking lot of a Staples store, workers could be observed behind the cash register. The driver walked into the Staples and pointed up at a corner of the room. "Take a look," he said. Above the folded-back steel security shutters was a nubbin of technology: a barely perceptible video camera looking down on the employees.
"I can only imagine driving around the Bay Area with one of these," said Aviel D. Rubin, a security researcher at AT&T Labs who was along for the ride.
Around San Francisco, high-technology toys like security cameras are likely to be far more common. Mr. Rubin tries to help the business world recognize security threats and address them. He knows the man with the truck, who brought this latest wrinkle of wireless insecurity to his attention. Although there is no evidence that video snooping is widespread, it is so easy and the opportunity to do it is so great that it is a cause for concern, Mr. Rubin said.
Such digital peeping is apparently legal, said Clifford S. Fishman, a law professor at the Catholic University of America and the author of a leading work on surveillance law, "Wiretapping and Eavesdropping."
When told of the novel form of high-technology prying, Professor Fishman said, "That is astonishing and appalling." But he said that wiretap laws generally applied to intercepting sound, not video. Legal prohibitions on telephone eavesdropping, he said, were passed at the urging of the telecommunications industry, which wanted to ensure that consumers would feel safe using its products. "There's no corresponding lobby out there protecting people from digital surveillance," he said.
Some states have passed laws that prohibit placing surreptitious cameras in places like dressing rooms, but legislatures have generally not considered the legality of intercepting those signals. Nor have they considered that the signals would be intercepted from cameras that people planted themselves. "There's no clear law that protects us," Professor Fishman said. "You put it all together, the implications are pretty horrifying." With no federal law and no consensus among the states on the legality of tapping video signals, Professor Fishman said, "The nanny who decided to take off her dress and clean up the house in her underwear would probably have no recourse" against someone tapping the signal. Police with search warrants could use the technology for investigative purposes, as well, he suggested.
Surveillance has been a growing part of American life, especially since Sept. 11. Video cameras have been installed on city streets, and some cities and airports have tried to tie cameras into facial recognition systems, with mixed results. Privacy activists argue that the benefit to security is questionable and the cost to privacy is high. But the cameras continue to proliferate with many people buying them for personal use. Surveillance cameras have also sprouted at intersections to catch drivers who speed or run red lights and as a part of many voyeur-oriented pornographic Web sites.
Ads for the "Amazing X10 Camera" have been popping up all over the World Wide Web for months. The ads for the device, the XCam2, carry a taste of cheesecake usually a photo of a glamorous-looking woman in a swimming pool or on the edge of a couch. But in fact, many people have bought the cameras for far more pedestrian purposes.
"Frankly, a lot of it is kind of dull," and most of the women being surreptitiously observed are probably nannies, said Marc Rotenberg, the executive director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center in Washington. He calls the X10 ads "one of the weird artifacts of the Internet age."
The company that sells the cameras, X10 Wireless Technology Inc. of Seattle, was created in 1999 by an American subsidiary of X10 Ltd., a Hong Kong company. It is privately held and does not release sales figures. A spokesman, Jeff Denenholz, said the company had no comment for this article.
Filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (news - web sites) for an initial public stock offering that was later withdrawn provide some figures, however. X10 lost $8.1 million on revenue of $21.3 million for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2000, and said that 52 percent of its revenue came from wireless camera kits. At the camera's current retail price of about $80, that would translate to sales of more than 138,000 cameras in those nine months alone.
Rob Enderle, an analyst at the Giga Information Group, a technology consulting business, said he was a big fan of X10 which sells the most popular wireless cameras on the consumer market and its wares. "Theirs is the least expensive option out there, and they actually do a good job," he said.
Mr. Enderle was surprised to hear of the cameras' lack of security, but said he did not see a cause for great concern. "Clearly, if you are pointing that at areas like your bathroom or shower, there may be people enjoying that view with you," he said. "But fundamentally, you shouldn't be pointing it that way anyway."
The vulnerability of wireless products has been well understood for decades. The radio spectrum is crowded, and broadcast is an inherently leaky medium; baby monitors would sometimes receive signals from early cordless phones (most are scrambled today to prevent monitoring). A subculture of enthusiasts grew up around inexpensive scanning equipment that could pick up signals from cordless and cellular phones, as former Speaker Newt Gingrich discovered when recordings of a 1996 conference call strategy session were released by Democratic foes.
More recently, with the advent of wireless computer networks based on the increasingly popular technology known as WiFi, yet another new subculture has emerged: people known as "war drivers" who enter poorly safeguarded wireless networks while driving or walking around with laptops.
In the case of the XCam2, the cameras transmit an unscrambled analog radio signal that can be picked up by receivers sold with the cameras. Replacing the receiver's small antenna with a more powerful one and adding a signal amplifier to pick up transmissions over greater distances is a trivial task for anyone who knows his way around a RadioShack and can use a soldering iron.
Products designed for the consumer market rarely include strong security, said Gary McGraw, the chief technology officer of Cigital, a software risk management company. That is because security costs money, and even pennies of added expense eat into profits. "When you're talking about a cheap thing that's consumer grade that you're supposed to sell lots and lots of copies of, that really matters," he said.
Refitting an X10 camera with encryption technology would be beyond the skills of most consumers. It is best for manufacturers to design security features into products from the start, because adding them after the fact is far more difficult, Mr. McGraw said. The cameras are only the latest example of systems that are too insecure in their first versions, he said, and cited other examples, including Microsoft's Windows operating system. "It's going to take a long time for consumer goods to have any security wedged into them at all," he said.
Another wireless camera, the DCS-1000W from D-Link Systems Inc., does offer encrypted transmission and ties into standard WiFi networks but it costs at least $350.
As a security expert, Mr. Rubin said he was concerned about the kinds of mischief that a criminal could carry out by substituting one video image for another. In one scenario, a robber or kidnapper wanting to get past a security camera at the front door could secretly record the video image of a trusted neighbor knocking. Later, the robber could force that image into the victim's receiver with a more powerful signal. "I have my computer retransmit these images while I come by," he said, explaining the view of a would-be robber.
Far-fetched, perhaps. That is the way security experts think. But those who use the cameras and find out about the security hole seem to grasp the implications quickly.
Back at the Staples store in Madison, employees said they did not know that they were being watched by security monitors. The manager of the store, when asked whether he knew that his cameras were broadcasting to the outside world, seemed somewhat shaken, and excused himself to go into his office, he said, to put down the small display carousel he was carrying.
He did not return.

Lake Search Resumes For Missing Man
Dive Team Uses Infrared Cameras
Posted: 1:53 p.m. CDT April 12, 2002
http://www.clickonsa.com/ant/news/stories/news-139590320020412-130421.html
MEDINA, Texas -- A recovery dive team equipped with underwater infrared cameras joined in the search Friday for a man's body in Medina Lake.
Members of the San Marcos Area Recovery Team plan to monitor two infrared cameras that can take images in 100 to 115 feet underwater in hopes of locating the body of Charlie Escamilla (pictured, left with his wife and son), 33.
The Helotes electrician has been missing since a boating accident on the lake early Wednesday evening. Escamilla's 11-year-old son and his stepbrother were rescued after the boat's bow broke into pieces.
Members of Escamilla's family returned to the lake Friday, praying that their loved one will be found.
"Someone ... from the family ... (will be here) until this body is found," Ronnie Littlefield, the victim's uncle, said.
Dan Misiazek, a member of the SMART dive team, said if the infrared cameras detect boat debris, a determination will be made whether to dive in the deep water because trees and rocks underwater may make recovery of the body difficult and dangerous.
