Been up since 5am and have come to a conclusion;Â it's a very slow news morning! Everyone just seems to be repeating wire stories and reading police reports. There aren't many good interest stories, either... Heck, even this day's history is slow and boring! KENTUCKY

Lexington Police are searching for two women involved in a shooting that occurred at the Days Motel[2] around 2PM on Sunday. According to reports, a man and woman agreed to meet with the women at the motel to buy a cellphone that had been listed on a Facebook "yard-sale" group. The victims claim that when the women arrived they produced a handgun and began demanding money; when the victims attempted to flee the area in their car the armed suspect fired at least three rounds toward the vehicle. One suspect is described as being approximately 6' in height, wearing a red hoodie and pink tennis shoes; the other suspect is described as being approximately 5' tall, wearing a grey hoodie. The owner of the Days Motel states that no one involved in the incident were staying at the motel. https://web.archive.org/web/20150420231831/http://www.wkyt.com/home/headlines/Lexington-Police-looking-for-women-wanted-in-shooting-286964771.html[3] http://www.lex18.com/story/27718693/sale-over-facebook-leads-to-shots-fired-outside-lexington-motel[4]

AirAsia flight 8501--which was lost mid-flight from Indonesia to Malaysia on Sunday--has yet to be located, leaving officials to believe that the flight's wreckage may lie at the bottom of the sea. Earlier reports of the sighting of a possible oil-slick and contacts from flight-recorder pings have been discounted as false rumor. Reports of visible wreckage seen in the area have yet to be confirmed at the time of this writing. The flight was carrying 155 passengers and 7 crew members. http://www.cnn.com/2014/12/29/world/asia/airasia-missing-plane/[6] THIS DAY IN HISTORY
