Hurricane Michael's death toll climbed to 18 Saturday, after another victim was discovered in Virginia.Fears were mounting for those who did not heed evacuation orders before Hurricane Michael bulldozed large swaths of Florida's Panhandle, and residents in the hardest-hit areas grew increasingly desperate for provisions.Three days after the monster storm, with rescue workers cutting through hulking debris piles in search of survivors, residents formed long lines outside fire stations, schools and Salvation Army food trucks to collect bottled water and ready-to-eat meals (MREs)."It's about to get stupid if people don't get food and water," Panama City Assistant Fire Chief Gary Swearingen said Saturday.Some have already resorted to looting, according to CNN affiliate WEAR-TV, because of the lack of resources such as water, electricity and food. 862

If you aren’t on this medication, chances are you know someone who is. It’s used to treat everything from pain to mood disorders and can be just what the doctor ordered for many.But now, there is mounting research uncovering misuse of and even a black market for this popular prescription.We’re talking about gabapentin. It’s approved for some types of seizures and nerve pain.Doctors also use it off-label to treat everything from insomnia to migraines to anxiety. Sixty-four million prescriptions of it were sold in the U.S. in 2016, up more than 60 percent from four years earlier.The thing is, experts say there is growing evidence it’s being abused, too. It’s even being sold on the streets under the name “Johnnys.” Dr. Joseph Insler, an addiction psychiatrist, says he’s seeing it all too often.“Sometimes, I've even experienced patients ask me for their “Johnnys” and then they'll, maybe, catch themselves and say, ‘No, no, no. I mean gabapentin',” he says.Why is this prescription being misused?“I think that some individuals may say that they use it to get high, and others may say they use it and get a drowsy effect. So, we're talking about the euphoria versus sedation, “ says Rachel Vickers Smith, Ph.D.Dr Vickers Smith wrote her dissertation on gabapentin abuse when studying drug abusers in Appalachia.“We found a nearly 3000 percent increase from 2008 to about 2014 in individuals reporting gabapentin abuse for the purposes of getting high,” she says.We wanted to see for ourselves, so we searched online. We easily found people talking about taking “Johnnys”, or gabapentin, to get high. There were also threads of people trying to spread awareness about the abuse.Experts say gabapentin is typically misused by substance abusers who mix it with other drugs.But, Dr. Insler says it’s also possible for people with legitimate prescriptions to misuse, too.He says, “If somebody’s taking excessively high doses or needing early refills” or if their mood changes, family members or clinicians should see these signs as red flags.A growing body of research shows the problem of abuse, especially among substance abusers is clear.  But some experts also worry about the number of prescriptions being handed out.A recent New England Journal of Medicine letter warned that “clinicians who are desperate for alternatives to opioids” are “increasingly prescribing gabapentin” and that “evidence suggests that some patients misuse, abuse or divert gabapentin.”Dr Rachel Vickers Smith says, “ I think that's why it's really important to get out the message,” about abuse, in general.Gabapentin is not a controlled substance or scheduled drug on the Federal level.We reached out to several government agencies. There was little information on potential abuse although the National Institute on Drug Abuse pointed us to existing research and the DEA says it is beginning to receive calls.Dr Vickers Smith says, “ I don't think that gabapentin abuse is on the CDC, DEA’s, NIDA’s radar, in part because we had this opioid epidemic.”All experts we talked to stress that this is NOT the next opioid epidemic, but they believe gabapentin abuse is something to watch closely and believe more research is needed.We contacted two of the manufacturers of gabapentin, including Pfizer, which told us, “Gabapentin is an important treatment option for their approved indications”. 3416

In an interview with ABC News and the Louisville Courier-Journal, one of the Louisville police officers involved in the raid that led to the death of Breonna Taylor claims his team knocked on Taylor's door six times and said the fatal shooting could have been avoided if officers did not allow time for Taylor and her boyfriend to come to the door.Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly spoke with ABC News and the Courier-Journal for two hours on Tuesday — the same day a grand juror spoke publicly about the case for the first time. Mattingly said police officers believed that Taylor was the only person in the apartment when they served the no-knock warrant on her apartment."We expected that Breonna was going to be there by herself. That's why we gave her so much time. And in my opinion, that was a mistake," Mattingly told ABC News.He said if he could have done anything differently that evening, officers would have breached Taylor's apartment without giving time for her or her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, to react."What would I have done differently, the answer to that is simple now that I've been thinking about it. Number one, we would have either served the no-knock warrant or we would have done the normal thing we do, which is five to 10 seconds. To not give people time to formulate a plan, not give people time to get their senses so they have an idea of what they're doing. Because if that had happened, Breonna Taylor would be alive, 100 percent."Mattingly claims officers involved in the raid knocked on Taylor's door six different times."So we get up, I remember banging on the door, it's open hand, hard smack, bam, bam, bam, bam. First time, didn't announce. Just hoping she would come to the door," Mattingly said.He also claims that at one point, they "repeatedly" yelled "police, search warrant!"Walker and 11 other people interviewed by police said they did not hear officers identify themselves. Only one other person in the apartment complex corroborated police claims that they identified themselves.Walker says he assumed the police officers were intruders and grabbed his gun to protect himself and Taylor. When officers breached Taylor's door, Walker fired at them. Mattingly was the only officer injured during the shooting."As soon as I felt the smack on my leg and the heat, I — boom, boom — returned four return shots, four shots," he said. "I reached down and felt my leg. I could feel a handful of blood and the heat — I thought my femoral artery. I said I can't stand up because I'm going to pump the blood out if I keep pushing forward."Mattingly also took issue with Walker's claim that he fired a "warning shot," saying that his stance indicated that he was ready to fire at officers.Mattingly was able to limp out of the apartment and was later taken to the hospital. He didn't learn of Taylor's death until he got out of surgery the next day."My first question was, 'Did she have a gun? Was she a shooter?' Because I didn't know what took place after I moved out," Mattingly said."I feel for her. I hurt for her mother and for her sisters," he added. "It's not just a passing 'Oh, this is part of the job, we did it and move on.' It's not like that. I mean Breonna Taylor is now attached to me for the rest of my life. And that's not again, 'Woe is me.' That's me feeling for them. That's me having a heart and a soul, going as a parent, 'How do you move on?' I don't know. I don't want to experience it."Taylor's case has become a touchstone case across the country amid a summer of unrest. For months, protests took place nightly in Louisville as demonstrators called for justice.Mattingly told ABC News that despite calls for police reform to address questions of systemic racism, Taylor's shooting had nothing to do with her race."It's not a race thing like people want to try to make it out to be. It's not. This is a point where we were doing our job, we gave too much time when we go in, I get shot, we returned fire," Mattingly said. "This is not us going, hunting somebody down. This is not kneeling on a neck. It's nothing like that."Mattingly and his fellow officers will not face homicide charges in connection with Taylor's death. Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, who led the investigation, claims officers were justified in their actions because Walker fired at them.Mattingly's interview came the same day that a grand juror in Taylor's case spoke publicly and claimed that he and others on the grand jury were not given the opportunity to consider homicide charges against the police officers.Only one police officer, Brett Hankison, faces charges in connection with the case. He's charged with endangering Taylor's neighbors by firing his gun at the building.In the days leading up to the grand jury decision, Mattingly sent an email to hundreds of his coworkers criticizing the city's mayor and other officials for their handling of the case."It's sad how the good guys are demonized, and criminals are canonized," Mattingly said in the email. "Put that aside for a while keep your focus and do your jobs that you are trained and capable of doing." 5115

House Democrats overwhelmingly picked Nancy Pelosi to be their nominee for House speaker on Wednesday at a closed-door meeting, bringing the long-time Democratic leader one step closer to reclaiming the gavel when Democrats take control of the House of Representatives in the new year.Pelosi was nominated as speaker by House Democrats by a 203-32 vote, according to attendees in the room. Three ballots were blank. One was absent.A small, but vocal, faction of Democrats have been attempting to derail Pelosi's run for speaker, but she has succeeded in winning over a number of critics in recent days and was expected to easily win the nomination since it required only a majority of House Democrats. The make-or-break moment for Pelosi isn't expected to come until January, when the full House holds a final floor vote to elect the speaker.House Democrats are also holding elections on Wednesday for positions lower in the leadership hierarchy.The first election to be decided was for the position of Democratic caucus chair. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York was elected to the post, making him the No. 5-ranked Democrat next Congress. The vote was close, 123-113. He defeated Rep. Barbara Lee, who would have been the first African-American woman in Democratic leadership.At 48, Jeffries is relatively young compared to the rest of the caucus and a rising star in the Democratic Party. Winning the position of caucus chair will elevate him further in the party's hierarchy and give him an opportunity to wield more power and influence. With Rep. Jim Clyburn's expected ascent to the majority whip position, Jeffries' win means that two of the top five leadership positions in the Democratic caucus will be held by African-American members.Lee, who is 72, said on Wednesday that she felt there were "institutional barriers" in her way."You feel some disappointment only with the institutional barriers that I recognized that were out there during this campaign. I'm really disappointed in that, knowing this was an uphill battle," she said.Asked if she felt ageism and sexism were at place, Lee said yes. "You heard and saw what took place, so absolutely, I think that is the case," she said."We still have many glass ceilings to break," she added.Speaking to reporters after winning his election, Jeffries said he wanted to thank Lee "for her tremendous service to this nation" and characterized the race very differently: "From the very beginning through the very end, this was a friendly contest of ideas."The elections are currently ongoing at the Capitol and will continue throughout the day.Inside the room where Democrats are voting, Rep. Joe Crowley, the outgoing caucus chair who lost his primary to incoming freshman lawmaker Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in an upset, sang an Irish ballad to the House Democratic Caucus, two members present told CNN. The caucus gave him a standing ovation. 2906
