A day-care owner hanged a 16-month-old boy at her Minneapolis home Friday, then fled through the city in her minivan, striking several pedestrians before unsuccessfully trying to jump from an overpass, police said.

Unsurprisingly, California is already recording more votes cast than any other state, according to U.S. Election Atlas.
