Two suspected jihadists holed up in an apartment north of Paris died during a police siege on Wednesday, including a woman who detonated an explosives vest, according to police sources.

At least three police were injured in the operation targeting Belgian jihadist Abdelhamid Abaaoud, believed to be the mastermind of the attacks in Paris on Friday that killed 129.

Anger over the recent terrorist attacks in France appears again to have been misdirected at a Denver bookstore.

Isis Books & Gifts on South Broadway has been in business for 35 years, but lately it has been threatened and targeted by vandals associating it with the terrorist group commonly referred to as ISIS.

Today in decisions that make absolutely no sense, a school in the U.K. has asked a 7-year-old student named Lily-Grace to refrain from using the cane that helps her get around independently while she is on school grounds.

Lily-Grace Hooper is visually impaired. She had a stroke when she was only 4 days old, which left her without vision in her right eye and the ability to see only light and color in her left. Recently she started using a white cane to get around, fostering the happy, bright child’s independence and mobility, especially at her school, Hambrook Primary School in Bristol.

Blind etiquette isn’t even a tough thing to teach. The Perkins School for the Blind boiled it down to six easy concepts, most of which, when you think about them, aren’t even any different from how you would treat anyone else (which is kind of the point):

1. Ask before attempting to assist a blind person, because it’s rude to grab people, period, but ruder if the person you’re grabbing can’t see you.
2. Allow them to grasp your arm at the elbow if they do want your help.
3. Warn individuals of dangers like cars and curbs in clear, explicit language. Screaming out “watch out!” is unproductive and, frankly, won’t warn someone of danger so much as scare their pants off.
4. Make your presence known when you enter a room, and say goodbye when you leave. You would do it anyway, whether a person is blind or sighted.
5. Don’t pet guide dogs, something most kids already know.
6. Treat people with blindness as actual people, because they are.
