    After large pool of human blood found in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, police and community seek answers

    A 4-by-7-foot pool of blood was found in the parking lot exit of Silver Spring Courtyards retirement center Saturday morning around 7:15 a.m. Another pool of blood was only feet away in the grass. Police also located a pair of black Rayban prescription glasses near the area, a new piece of potential evidence.

    “We have, at this time, been able to account for all the residents of the retirement center,” the chief added. “There was nobody found and there were no other signs other than the pair of glasses.”

    The question remaining for neighbors: Is it a crime scene? Or the scene of a serious accident, in a typically safe neighborhood?

    “I’ve felt nothing but safe here,” Kenes said, explaining his daily walks through his community.

    Officials are trying to narrow down an 8-hour window, believing the incident happened between 11 p.m. Friday and 7 a.m. Saturday.

    Three people have died and five are in hospital after developing a “pneumonia of unknown origin”, Argentinian health authorities have announced.

    According to the Ministry of Health in Tucumán – a small region in the northwest of the country some 800 miles from the capital, Buenos Aires – nine people in the sameprivate clinic unit have contracted mystery pneumonia.

    Authorities are concerned about the deadly outbreak because the usual suspects – including Covid, influenza and hantavirus – have been ruled out. Five of the six affected, and both of those who so far died, are also health care workers, suggesting an infectious agent may be involved.
