“A young conscript” opened fire in a Ukrainian missile factory on Thursday, killing at least five soldiers. While the killer has been apprehended, his motives have not been revealed.

The body of a 21-year-old hiker was found 700 feet below his camping sight after he attempted to take a scenic picture. Between 2011 and 2017, there were 259 selfie-related deaths, and the toll has increased over the past five years. According to one news source, “each year has seen tragic deaths including people falling off cliffs, being electrocuted or drowned in the search for the perfect picture.” Considering selfies kill more people than sharks, maybe it’s time to put down the phone.
