— -- Your look at the five biggest and most buzz-worthy stories of the morning.

Two children in Silver Spring, Maryland were taken into custody again after they were found at a park alone; their parents are proponents of what’s known as “free-range parenting,” a philosophy that encourages kids to explore their independence.

Officers responded to a report of children without an adult at a park Sunday afternoon, according to The Associated Press, and took the 10-year-old boy and 6-year-old girl to Maryland Child Protective Services.

The children have since been released to their parents, Danielle and Alexander Meitiv, Montgomery County police told ABC News.

The 73-year-old reserve deputy in Oklahoma charged with second-degree manslaughter in what authorities have called the “inadvertent” shooting death of a suspect "never intended in his 73 years of life to take a human life," a Tulsa County Sheriff's Office spokesman told ABC News before the DA announced the formal charge.

After seeing video of the shooting, Maj. Shannon Clark told ABC News earlier, "You can tell it was inadvertent. The gun popped out of his [Bates] hand. He wasn't expecting a recoil.”

After two different juries were unable to reach a unanimous decision when it came to the death penalty, it was left to Judge Stephens to rule whether or not Arias should be eligible for parole in 25 years, as Arias was asking. Instead, the judge gave Arias the maximum sentence -- life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Arias, convicted in 2013 of murdering her on again-off again boyfriend, Travis Alexander, in 2008, addressed the court after three of Alexander’s sisters made their own emotional case for the maximum sentence and Arias' mother spoke on her behalf.

A Sea-Tac airport worker fell asleep in the hold of an Alaska Airlines flight and didn't wake up until it took off, but the pilot, hearing banging, turned the plane around, the airline said tonight.

"The captain immediately returned to Seattle, declaring an emergency for priority landing. The aircraft was in the air for 14 minutes," the airline said. "After landing, the ramp agent was found inside the front cargo hold, which is pressurized and temperature controlled. The ramp agent appeared OK, and was transported to the hospital as a precaution. We are actively investigating the matter."

Actress-turned-entrepreneur Suzanne Somers was voted off ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars” Monday during a show dedicated to classic Disney films.
