Authorities say a Tucson man who fatally shot his two young daughters Wednesday has died at a hospital.

Islamic Center of Tucson receives flowers in show of solidarity

The Islamic Center of Tucson received flowers Tuesday morning from a woman expressing solidarity with the mosque. The woman, perhaps college-aged, brought the flowers into the office of the Islamic Center, 901 E. First St., but declined to give her name when asked, said Ahmed Meiloud, the president of the Islamic Center. “She said, ‘No, I just want to share the flowers with you,’” Meiloud said, when they asked for her name. A note attached to the flowers reads, “You are loved. From one human to another, please know there is more love than hate. ... I hope you have a great day.” Since the attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, California, fear and hatred directed at Muslims has increased nationwide. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has called to block Muslims from entering the U.S., and in Philadelphia, a pig’s head was thrown outside a mosque Monday morning, The Associated Press reported.

Tucson police recover stolen truck, Valentine's flowers

Thousands of dollars of stolen Valentine's flowers were recovered on Friday, a short time after they were stolen, Tucson police said. Early in the morning, police responded to a burglary at the Roses and More florist near East Speedway Boulevard and North Craycroft Road, where they learned that burglars broke into the business and stole a large refrigerated moving truck containing the flowers to be sold on Valentine's day. They also stole money from inside the store. Officers located the truck a short distance away with all of the flowers still inside. The flowers, which were in danger of not surviving as the refrigeration unit had broken, were quickly moved into patrol cars and a TPD prisoner transport van. While officers were loading the vehicles, a citizen stopped by and offered two of his own vehicles to help transport the property, according to a news release. Approximately 150 pre-made bouquets and hundreds of buckets of roses were all returned unharmed. http://tucson.com/news/blogs/police-beat/tucson-police-recover-stolen-truck-valentine-s-flowers/article_34775682-b46d-11e4-ac82-07c356398050.html
