2. Notorious High School Shooter T.J. Lane in Custody After Prison Escape

T.J. Lane, who was serving three life sentences for a notorious high school shooting spree, escaped from an Ohio prison but was later taken back into custody, authorities said.

Lane, who is now 19, broke out of the Allen Correctional Facility Thursday along with two other prisoners, scaling the facility's main perimeter fence. One was soon captured, but the other still at large was identified as Clifford Opperud, 45.

Lane was taken into custody early Friday, captured about 100 yards outside of the facility's fence, warden Kevin Jones said.

"Obviously I am not happy that this happened," Jones said at a press conference. "No warden in my position would be happy that this happened, but the facts are that I am happy that he is back in custody."

Miami Marlins star outfielder Giancarlo Stanton was hit in the face by a pitch Thursday, crumpling to the ground in pain before being driven off the field in an ambulance.

Stanton, 24, was trying to get out of the way as the pitch sailed out of the strike zone. As the ball struck Stanton, the crowd groaned and Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Mike Fiers threw up his hands, visibly shaken.

Stanton suffered a laceration and was undergoing X-rays and a CT scan, the Marlins announced. Marlins manager Mike Redmond acknowledged that Stanton could miss the remainder of the season.

5. Saks $400,000 Shopping Spree Called Credit Card Fraud

Six Saks Fifth Avenue employees went on a months-long $400,000 shopping spree with customers' credit cards at the fashionable store, according to a criminal report.

The Saks employees worked out an elaborate scheme that fraudulently used the credit cards of at least 22 customers to buy hundreds of pairs of designer shoes and handbags, including many that were found by police last week in the alleged ringleader's apartment in Queens, N.Y.

The criminal complaint alleges that Tamara Williams, 36, stole customers' credit card data from the store computers and then shared the information with five sales associates. Williams allegedly gave her cohorts specific lists of what they should buy from the store with the stolen credit card information.
