This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Temple chapter.

This week in the news:

1. The case of Kendrick Johnson, the 17-year-old Valdosta Georgia teen who was found dead in a rolled-up gym mat, developed further when the family discovered his buried body was stuffed with newspaper.

2. A bizarre motorcycle accident is turning into an entire investigation. One motorcyclist was paralyzed and the driver was beat by the injured cyclist’s comrades when the driver of an SUV accidentally hit one cyclist and sped off. A video captured the whole scene.

3. The debt ceiling looms as Congress failed to agree on a resolution at their most recent meeting. The failed agreement, however, seems to have yielded a positive result, however, because it has opened a “productive conversation.”

4. As the government shutdown drags on, there are a few very scary things that have happened, are happening, and will happening if the shutdown continues.

5. In continuing with our theme concerning Temple news, we made the #2 spot on the list of the top 10 most dangerous colleges in the U.S.
