KANSAS CITY, Mo. 聽 An elderly couple severely beaten in their Kansas City home, allegedly by a man also accused of fatally shooting three of their neighbors, died Tuesday after being taken off life support, relatives and hospital officials said.Ann Taylor, 86, and her husband, George Taylor, 80, were attacked in their basement on Sept. 2. Prosecutors allege that Brandon Howell beat the couple, then fatally shot three other people outside nearby homes before fleeing in the Taylors' SUV. Howell, a convicted felon, was arrested hours later when police found him walking with a loaded shotgun in his pants.Ann Taylor was taken off life support Monday night but lived until Tuesday, while her husband was removed from life support Tuesday morning and died soon after, according to HCA Midwest Health in Kansas City."George and Ann [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php] cheap gucci[/url] died peacefully and we are blessed that they left this Earth together," family members said in a statement. "They were married more than 40 years, and loved each other dearly."Howell, 34, faces a dozen felony charges including three counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of the Taylors' neighbors: Alice Hurst, 88; her son, Darrel Hurst, 63; and Susan Choucroun, 69.It wasn't immediately clear when or if new charges would be filed related to the Taylors' deaths, but "be assured that at the appropriate time, today's sad news of the Taylors' passing will be reflected in the state's case against the defendant," said Mike Mansur, spokesman for the Jackson County prosecutor's office.Kansas City police responded to a 911 call from Ann Taylor the afternoon of Sept. 2. Officers found Choucroun's body in the driveway of the home next door to the Taylors' house. A few houses away, the Hursts' bodies were found in the front yard of their home, in a [url=http://capstone.edu.sg/clreplicashoes.php]Christian Louboutin Shoes Sale[/url] tidy cul-de-sac lined with duplexes.Witnesses told police that they heard several shots and saw a beige Toyota Highlander stop in front of Choucroun's home and a man get out carrying a long gun. Prosecutors said the man shot the woman, got back into the Toyota and drove away.Two hours later, police received a report that three people had been assaulted at a Motel 6 about 30 miles north of the shooting scene. While canvassing the commercial area, officers found the stolen SUV in a restaurant parking lot near [url=http://www.symbiose.ca/images/christianlouboutin.gwij.php]Christian Louboutin Outlet[/url] the motel.Acting on a tip, police found Howell walking along Interstate 29 later that night with a loaded shotgun stuffed down his pants and spent shells in his pocket.Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker has declined to discuss a motive for the attacks, but he noted that charges accuse Howell of burglary and stealing a motor vehicle.Kansas court records show that Howell pleaded guilty in 2000 to a 1999 home invasion in Johnson County, Kansas, in which one victim was cut on the hand and a cat was decapitated. He was sentenced to 12 years but paroled in 2011.Howell also was acquitted in 2009 in the killings of two Kansas teenagers who were last seen in 1998. One victim's body was later found buried outside a Kansas City home being renovated by Howell's father; the other body has never been found.

Fernanda Rubio, who is only 7, walks and even runs in her pink prosthetics she calls stubbies.  
+
−
I can walk, she said as she made her way down the aisles of a Valley library.
+
−
But it wasn t long ago that even the thought of putting on prosthetics would bring about tears.
+
−
She was with them for a year, she kept crying, Fernanda s mother, Edith Rubio, said. She didn t want them. She kept crying.
+
−
Fernanda s original prosthetics were tall and made it hard for her to balance.
+
−
I was scared, she said in a quiet voice.
+
−
But one day she and her parents watched the movie Dolphin Tale, a storyabout a dolphin named Winter who needed a prosthetic tale to get around.
+
−
 
+
−
He has a prosthetic leg, like me, Fernanda said as she wiggled the tale of a stuffed Winter.  
+
−
She <a href=http://www.alportico.net/gosoc.php> true religion uk</a> was very excited that there was a dolphin just like her that was using a prosthetic leg, her father, Julio Rubio, said. So that encouraged her to use her prosthetics.
+
−
In fact, the Rubios contacted the same company that made Winter s prosthetic tail, and that company developed Fernanda s shorter, more stylish legs.
+
−
They even arranged for Fernanda to go to a <a href=http://capstone.edu.sg/clreplicashoes.php> Christian Louboutin Outlet Online</a> special camp in Florida called No Limits, where she got to hang out with other kids like her.
+
−
She even got to meet and touch her inspiration, the real Winter.
+
−
And I touched his tail, she said through a wide grin. I gave him a high five.  
+
−
The story would be amazing enough if it ended there, but the day Fernanda was with Winter, the film crew for Dolphin Tale 2 was there, as well, and now Fernanda is going to have a guest spot in the movie.
+
−
She didn t even notice the cameras in there, nothing, her mother said. She was just focusing on Winter and all her friends were there so she was so happy to do that.  
+
−
Yeah, she thinks she s a movie star, Julio Rubio said.
+
−
One thing is for sure, Fernanda is more confident around her classmates, her parents said.
+
−
That was evident as she celebrated her birthday with her class and joined in on the fun.
+
−
Fernanda, you know, she has gone through a lot, but she is a very brave little girl, Julio Rubio said. Today, she turns 7, and it s her birthday, and she s just a really happy person, a very happy little girl.
+
−
A day of celebration it was. And, of course, there were the traditional items.
+
−
I m getting presents, Fernanda said.
+
−
So proud of her, Edith Rubio said. Because we waited so long, it was two years after she d been sick, we thought she <a href=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php>Michael Kors uk</a> was not going to walk. Now seeing her with new prosthetics and balancing and trying to walk, it was so exciting for us.
+
−
Dolphin Tale 2 opens Friday, and the whole Rubio family will be front and center for her starring scene.
+
−
And camp No Limits is coming to Arizona in March.
