Officials said 11 students at a high school in Syracuse, New York, turned themselves in yesterday after an alleged incident involving the boys lacrosse team that the local district attorney called "hazing on steroids." "At some point by prearrangement, people came out of the woods all dressed in black. They were armed with what appeared to be at least one handgun and at least one knife," Onondaga County District Attorney Bill Fitzpatrick said. "The individual had a pillowcase placed over his head. He was tied up and placed in the trunk of a car." Fitzpatrick and the local sheriff's office had given anyone involved a 48-hour window to turn themselves in to avoid criminal records. No names have been released. |

"I could never bring myself to part with it — the craftsmanship was so meticulous, so beautifully done," Scotch, a New York Times best-selling novelist, told TODAY.com. This year, it gained new life when her daughter, Amelia, 18, got past her initial reluctance over the dress and ended up wearing it to her senior prom. "It was perfect," Amelia said.
