Copyvios[edit]

Just found that the entire section on the events of the last few days matched up virtually word-for-word with the following sources: http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/capress/100419/sports/box_valero_slaying_5 and http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/290919. I removed it and substituted the latest previous version. If anyone wants to re-add content from the sources above, please put it in your own words so that it is not a copyright violation. Thanks.
