More frightening news out of Orlando, Florida. This time at a Disney resort. A two-year-old boy was dragged into a lake by an alligator. It happened along the shoreline of the Seven Seas Lagoon near Disney's Grand Floridian Resort. The child, on vacation with his family from Nebraska was playing in about one foot of water when the gator grabbed him. The boy's father struggled with the alligator but it escaped and dragged the boy into the lake. The search for the boy continued this morning.

UPDATE 6/15 1:00 p: After 15 hours of searching, Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings says that there is 'no question' the boy is dead. They are now working on recovering his body.

UPDATE 6/15 4:40 p: The body of the 2-year-old boy has been recovered by searchers.

Philadelphia police are looking for a man (pictured) who allegedly impersonated a firefighter and walked away with nearly five hundred dollars. He was caught on surveillance camera last Friday at the Popeyeâ€™s restaurant on West Lehigh Avenue. The man walked in and said he was there to replace the fire extinguishers. Police say after being paid cash, he went to his car to get the equipment, and never returned.

The 76ers may be trying to maneuver two Top 10 picks in the draft. They already have the number 1 pick, but worked out Tuesday afternoon former California swingman Jaylen Brown. The Sixers are expected to take Ben Simmons with the first overall pick. Brown is expected to be chosen from No. 3 to No. 8 in the draft on June 23. The Sixers could be negotiating a trade to get in position for two big picks.
