— -- Darren Wilson's announcement that he will resign from the Ferguson, Mo., Police Department dominated headlines. Here are 5 other things that happened this weekend.
1. Cousins Trapped in Snowbank Say 'Thanks' to Rescuers
Two New York boys expressed thanks to their rescuers after the pair were inadvertently trapped for about eight hours in a snowbank when a plow operator pushed snow over them, not realizing they were there.
Cousins Jason Rivera, 9, and Elijah Martinez, 11, told ABC News they were feeling "good" Friday after being buried under 7 feet of snow.
"I want to say, thank you ... for the cop shovels to help us up, help us out of the snow," Jason said from his hospital bed. "I thank you for trying to help us ... out of the snow and helping us two little kids."
Jason and Elijah were playing in the snow and building a snow fort Wednesday at 6 p.m. near their homes in Newburgh, Orange County, when a snow plow came by and accidentally threw a wall of snow on top of them. The two were buried side by side in the pitch-black darkness.
2. Austin Gunman Fired 100 Rounds, Tried to Burn Mexican Consulate
A gunman in Austin, Texas, tried to burn down the Mexican consulate and fired more than 100 rounds at city buildings and at a police officer early Friday before dying of a bullet wound.
It was not immediately clear whether the shooter, identified as Larry Steven McQuilliams, 49, was killed by police or shot himself, authorities said.
Austin Police Department Assistant Chief Raul Munguia, speaking at a news conference, said residents reported hearing shots at 2:22 a.m., and calls continued to come in as the suspect was "attacking government facilities." Police said the timing of the attack was especially dangerous because bars were closing in downtown Austin, sending potentially thousands of people onto the streets.
3. Department Store Worker Shot on Black Friday Dies
Authorities say a 22-year-old woman died a day after she was shot inside a Nordstrom department store in Chicago during Black Friday shopping.
The Cook County medical examiner's office says 22-year-old Nadia Ezaldein was pronounced dead at 3:43 p.m. on Saturday. Authorities say 31-year-old Marcus Dee shot Ezaldein before killing himself.
Police say Ezaldein was a seasonal employee at the store. Officers found her dead when they arrived Friday night at the store along Chicago's Magnificent Mile shopping district.
4. Couple Ties the Knot on NYC Subway
