Bobby Bostic was released in November - after being told as a teenager he would die in prison.

Police say the 19-year-old gunman who killed a teacher and a 15-year-old girl at a St. Louis high school was armed with an AR-15-style rifle and what appeared to be more than 600 rounds of ammunition.

An armed former student broke into a St. Louis high school Monday morning, fatally shooting a teacher and a teenage girl and wounding seven others before police killed him.

LOUIS - Former Detroit Tigers outfielder Nicholas Castellanos was a unique type of hero in his first game with the Chicago Cubs, breaking up a no-hitter and recording the only hit of the entire game for his new team. Castellanos batted second for the Cubs on Thursday as they battled NL Central co-leader St. Louis for sole possession of first place.

Castellanos hit a double and a single, and struck out three times in six at-bats that game.
