1) Lake Catholic High Investigates Swastika-Wearing Player

A lacrosse player for Lake Catholic High School took to the field in a Monday tournament game with a swastika drawn on the back of his leg. A high school photographer captured an image of the Nazi symbol, which was published on cleveland.com Tuesday. A Lake Catholic fan also hurled anti-Semitic slurs at others in the stands at Orange High School in Pepper Pike.

• The Catholic Diocese issued a statement: "The behaviors alleged are reprehensible and contrary to the Gospel values that Lake Catholic works so hard to promote. Lake Catholic is currently conducting an investigation into the matter in order to gather all the facts. Once the investigation is completed, appropriate action will be taken to address the matter."
• Rachel Glazer is the student who photographed the hateful symbol. "I’m Jewish, so it hit pretty close to home. When you see someone come and attack you personally, you take it to heart. It’s crazy how much anti-Semitism is on the rise.”

Dr. Cheng rushed at the shooter who opened fire on the Irvine Taiwanese Presbyterian Church gathering on Sunday. Cheng likely saved many lives as he sacrificed his own.
