The family of the Dayton, Ohio, shooter published glowing obituaries of both the gunman and one of the first casualties in the massacre -- his younger sister, 22-year-old Megan Betts.The obituaries were published Tuesday on the website for the Conner & Koch Life Celebration Home in Bellbrook, Ohio, but the remembrance for gunman Connor Betts was removed Wednesday at the family's request, according to the funeral home.Connor Betts' parents later updated the message on their son's obituary page."Stephen and Moira Betts apologize that the wording of the obituary for their son Connor was insensitive in not acknowledging the terrible tragedy that he created," the message said. "In their grief, they presented the son that they knew which in no way reduces the horror of his last act. We are deeply sorry."The obituary for Betts, who was killed by police after he took nine lives in the August 4 mass shooting, was shorter than his sister's. Both writeups encouraged people to donate to an ecology institute in nearby Yellow Springs instead of sending flowers.Friend who provided body armor faces chargesA now-removed page for the shooter also included 21 photos. They ranged from his younger days doing martial arts to more recent images of him drinking beer and smiling with family members. The obituary said he was a grill cook who loved reading, video games and music.He "will be missed immensely by his friends, family, and especially his good dog Teddy," it says.Neither obituary mentions the shooting, or that Betts was killed by her brother.A young man drawn to violenceInvestigators and those who knew Connor Betts have described him as bent on violence. Former classmates said he kept a list of people he wanted to kill or rape, and he was in a "pornogrind" band known for its graphic, violent lyrics.The 24-year-old also enjoyed shooting, a friend said. A Twitter account that appears to belong to him -- and whose bio proclaimed, "I'm going to hell and I'm not coming back" -- retweeted far left-wing and anti-police posts.Armed with a .223-caliber high-capacity rifle, Betts fired 41 shots in less than 30 seconds that night in Dayton, killing his sister as well as eight seemingly random bystanders, police said.In a statement following the shooting, the Betts family said they were "shocked and devastated" by what happened and were cooperating with police. They pleaded for privacy while they mourned.A woman answering the phone at Conner & Koch said the obituaries came from the Betts family.

The Dominican Republic's top tourism official on Friday downplayed a spate of deaths among American tourists as an exaggeration."It's not true that there has been an avalanche of American tourists dying in our country, and it's not true that we have mysterious deaths here," Tourism Minister Francisco Javier Garcia told reporters.Garcia said toxicology reports were still pending in some cases but that autopsy results and causes of death have been released. He said his country has been in constant communication with US Embassy officials.The characterization in some media outlets of an "avalanche of deaths does not correspond to reality," he said.At the news conference, the minister read the names of the Americans who have died in the past year, with the official cause of death -- noting that all died of natural causes.Garcia said Americans are not canceling their vacations to the Dominican Republic. His country was working to clear up what he called misrepresentations and "exaggerated" reports about the deaths."We want the truth, not a special treatment," he said.At least nine American citizens have died at Dominican Republic resorts -- or after falling ill at one -- over the past year, according to information from the US State Department, victims' family members and the resorts involved.The deaths have left some Americans wondering if they should cancel upcoming trips to the Caribbean nation.Officials there have called the deaths isolated events as they work to reassure travelers their country is safe.Of the nine Americans who have died while or after visiting a Dominican Republic resort since June 2018, it's not clear how many deaths owed to natural causes.Samples taken from at least one minibar at the Bahia Principe Hotel were being tested by the FBI as part of the agency's collaboration with Dominican authorities, the country's public health ministry said this week.Officials in the Dominican Republican or the United States have not said the deaths are connected.Three of the Americans died at the Bahia Principe resort in La Romana within days of each other. Two died at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Punta Cana.The investigations into the deaths have included visits from health inspectors, including environmental health and epidemiology specialists, according to Carlos Suero, spokesman for the public health ministry.The State Department has a standing travel advisory for the Dominican Republic, urging travelers to have caution because of crime, but it has not issued a travel alert specific to the traveler deaths.From 2012 to 2018, 128 Americans died in the Dominican Republic from something other than natural causes, according to US State Department statistics. That averages about 18 annually.The Dominican Republic is one of the Caribbean's top tourism destinations, with more than 6 million stopover tourists last year, including 2.2 million Americans, according to the Caribbean Tourism Organization.Tourism represented more than 17 percent of the country's economy last year, according to the World Travel & Tourism Council. 3098
