Authorities say a Florida mom home with her two children has been shot multiple times after answering her front door.

Hillsborough County Sheriff's officials say 37-year-old Angela Morales heard several knocks at the door shortly after midnight Saturday while home with her husband and 9-year-old twins.

That's when authorities say a man opened fire, hitting Morales multiple times.

She was hospitalized in critical condition.

Authorities believe Morales was likely targeted. Two different types of weapon casings discovered leads investigators to believe there may be more than one suspect.

The shooters fled in a dark-colored sedan.

Authorities did not release a possible motive or any other details.

A Miami security guard who was shot at a Metrorail station has died, Miami-Dade police said.

Keith Cox, 49, was shot earlier this week at the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. station at Northwest 27th Avenue and Northwest 62nd Street.

A witness told police that he saw a man running away from the scene after the shooting. He said the man got into a dark-colored vehicle and drove eastbound on Northwest 64th Street.

Cox had been hospitalized in critical condition but police said Cox was removed from life support Saturday morning.

"Our hearts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time," Miami-Dade police said in a statement. "Investigators continue to urge the community to contact Crimestoppers with any information pertaining to this case."

According to 50 State Security, Cox served eight years in the Air Force from 1984 to 1992. Cox had worked as a security guard since 2002 and joined 50 State Security in 2011.

Co-workers said he received many awards and recognitions throughout his military and professional career.

The 50 State Security team is raising money for Cox's family.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS (8477) or 866-471-8477.

The morning began with remembrance and prayer. From New Orleans to Mobile, Alabama, there were somber ceremonies marking the day 10 years ago when Hurricane Katrina slammed into the Gulf Coast.

State and local officials gathered in New Orleans at a memorial for victims of Katrina, which killed more than 1,800 people and damaged many more lives. Almost 100 unclaimed or unidentified victims are interred at the memorial site on Canal Street, CNN affiliate WDSU reported.

Dignitaries laid a wreath in the shape of a fleur-de-lis at the memorial.

While it was a time for mourning for those who died, New Orleans' mayor praised the resiliency of those who remained in the city after the storm.

"Nothing is going to hold the people of the city back. ... Because New Orleans will be unbowed and unbroken," Mitch Landrieu said. "We have risen again, and we will rise again, and we will go forward."

In Biloxi, Mississippi, people gathered at New Bethel Missionary Baptist Church. Members of a dozen churches recalled the hardships after Katrina passed but the friendships formed.

"It restores what joy you may have lost because you will see that no matter what comes your way, you can recover, you can rebuild and you can be restored," Derrick Sykes told CNN affiliate WLOX.

At 9:30 a.m., churches in Gulf Coast communities rang their bells.

President Barack Obama marked the day by recalling his recent trip to New Orleans and saying he had been inspired, but there is more work to be done.

Hurricane Katrina was a strong Category 3 hurricane when it made U.S. landfall for the second time on August 29, 2005. It was the costliest hurricane in U.S. history, causing about $108 billion in damage. The storm was directly or indirectly responsible for deaths in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi.

It's storm surge and rainfall flooded 80% of New Orleans.

As Saturday went on, the ceremonies and events became more upbeat. New Orleans had a day of service as volunteers worked on community projects. There were parades in Uptown and downtown.

Former President Bill Clinton was the keynote speaker at a "Power of Community" commemoration, which included a prayer service and music from the Rebirth Brass Band.

Clinton told audience members they should celebrate the progress that has been made in the past 10 years. But, he said, there were still social issues that needed to be addressed.

"The celebration must be leavened by rededication. The people who died left behind memories and loved ones and legacies that deserved to be fully redeemed by erasing the lines that divide us," he said.

Well-known musicians Trombone Shorty and Dr. John were in Biloxi playing a concert at the city's baseball stadium.

Rescue crews jumped off boats and trudged through mud, rocks and uprooted trees Sunday morning to reach communities cut off by a tropical storm that killed at least 20 people and left nearly 50 missing in the eastern Caribbean island of Dominica.

Volunteers helped carry food, water and clothes for dozens of Dominicans who have been isolated for up to three days after Tropical Storm Erika dumped some 15 inches (38 centimeters) of rain on the mountainous island.

Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit pleaded for international aid, saying the damage pushed Dominica back by two decades, and he warned of more rain in upcoming days. He met Saturday with members of a newly created committee charged with helping rebuild an island devastated by floods and landslides.

"It's a very daunting task," said opposition leader Lennox Linton, who met with Skerrit. "The country has been significantly set back."

GOVERNMENT OF DOMINICA: List of medical supplies needed

At least 20 people were still missing in the southeast village of Petite Savanne, one of the hardest hit areas and home to some of Dominica's steepest mountains.

"They are not expected to be found," Linton said, warning that the number of dead and missing would likely rise. Dozens of injured were still being airlifted to the hospital in the capital of Roseau.

Among those receiving care was Richard Baron, a 51-year-old mechanic who was swept away in a flood with his son as they scooped mud out of their home.

"He shout, 'Daddy, Daddy! Daddy, Daddy! When I look up, I see the whole mountain and everything was coming down toward us," he said. "I was down on the ground, gliding with the landslide."

Baron said he managed to grab onto a tree and then onto his son.

"My son was about 10 feet away from the ravine. He would have perished," Baron said, adding that he lost several friends and relatives.

MAP OF DOMINICA

As Dominicans struggled with the loss of family and property, they heeded Skerrit's advice to help each other.

Go-fast boats zipped around Dominica, carrying rescuers and those seeking to reach relatives trapped in isolated communities.

Young men around Roseau fanned out to assist neighbors and clear roads, said Thomas Holmes, a guidance counselor who has been meeting with victims he said are numbed by the disaster.

"We assumed we'd be getting some rain, but not for that duration," he said. "It hit Dominica for over 11 hours."

Officials said the flooding was so destructive in part because the small island has 365 rivers as well as several lakes and waterfalls. The main airport, which was recently renovated, remained closed and partially underwater, and dozens of bridges have been washed out.

Some Dominicans took ferries to the nearby islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe to catch flights elsewhere to stay with friends and family. Those who stayed behind shoveled mud from their homes as television sets, bookcases and mattresses piled up outside.

"The destruction is unbelievable," said Terry Dyer, who lives on Dominica's west coast and is cut off from the capital. "It is sudden and widespread. I have never seen that before."

As Dominicans continued to dig out on Saturday, Tropical Storm Erika dissipated after drenching Cuba, the Dominican Republic and Haiti.

At least one person died in Haiti in a suspected mudslide, and four others were killed and another 11 were hospitalized in Leogane, just west of the Haitian capital, when a truck carrying a liquor known locally as clairin crashed into a bus and exploded. Authorities said it apparently was raining when the accident occurred.

Haitian authorities also evacuated 254 prisoners in Gonaives to other locations because of flooding, and two people were hospitalized after their home in Port-au-Prince collapsed in heavy rains.

The remnants of Erika drifted near the coast of eastern and central Cuba on Saturday and were expected to move into the southeastern Gulf of Mexico on Sunday. The Hurricane Center said that heavy rains and gusty winds are still possible across southern and central Florida Sunday.

Meanwhile in the Pacific, Jimena turned into a powerful Category 4 hurricane with maximum sustained winds near 150 mph (240 kph). The Hurricane Center said it was expected to remain a major hurricane through Monday, though it did not pose an immediate threat to land.

Calm morning in Fort Lauderdale Miami Beach

Early Sunday morning, the Local 10 News Weather Center's Jennifer Correa said the trail of thunderstorms coming from the Atlantic was going to continue to impact South Florida and Cuba.

"It is best to stay indoors this Sunday," Correa said. "Some isolated tornadoes cannot be ruled out."

INTERACTIVE RADAR: Look for thunderstorms in your area

The poor drainage areas and low lying that were most at risk for flooding were in Miami, Miami Beach, Surfside, Virginia Key and North Miami. Coastal areas in Broward and Palm Beach were also prone to flooding.

As of 10 a.m., Miami-Dade County Fire Rescue  and Broward Sheriff's Office dispatch had not received any calls related to flooding. A Local 10 News viewer shared a video of a tree that came down overnight and almost fell on top of a car.

Authorities were advising drivers not to underestimate the power of flood waters and avoid traveling across flooded roads. Authorities were also asking surfers and swimmers to exercise caution, as the threat of rip currents was prevalent.

Local 10 News chief meteorologist Betty Davis warned the flood watch warning was set to end 8 a.m. Monday.

"The southeast breezes of tonight will pick up," Davis said. This will not be stopping school buses from picking up children to go to school Monday morning.

Gov. Rick Scott had a briefing scheduled at 11:15 a.m. Sunday.

Wes Craven, the visionary filmmaker who defined the horror genre with the long-enduring "A Nightmare on Elm Street" franchise, and later deconstructed and redefined it with "Scream," has died.

He was 76.

His family confirmed his death to The Hollywood Reporter. Craven's verified Twitter and Instagram accounts carried a photo of him with the caption, "Wes Craven 1939-2015."

Craven had been battling brain cancer, the magazine said.

His career spanned decades, beginning with the 1972 revenge flick "The Last House on the Left." While a commercial success, it pales in comparison to what came 12 years later.

With 1984's "A Nightmare on Elm Street," he created an enduring icon of terror with the knife-fingered antagonist Freddy Krueger.

It turned out to be a blockbuster that shaped his career.

"For three years I was unable to sell it. I basically went broke," he told CNN years later. "So when the film got made and was a financial success, my career went from the basement through the roof. It was a wonderful feeling."

It spawned several sequels, none of which he directed until he deconstructed the genre with "Wes Craven's New Nightmare" in 1994. The latter poked fun at the earlier movies, ingeniously looping back on itself using some of the original cast members.

In a 1999 interview with CNN, Craven said his vivid horror imagination spooked him as well.

"The times when I'm scared are when I'm writing," he said. "I've been known to jump out of a chair when someone comes into a room."

Along came a 'Scream'

He bent the horror genre once again with "Scream," a monster hit that produced several sequels, gave birth to the "Scary Movie" parodies and lives on in the form of its signature ghost face mask featuring the slasher's open mouth.

"Today the world lost a great man, my friend and mentor," tweeted actress Courteney Cox, who starred in "Scream."

Her co-star, Rose McGowan, described him as "the kindest man, the gentlest man, and one of the smartest men" she's ever known.

"Please say there's a plot twist," she tweeted.

Unusual road to fame

Wesley Earl Craven was born in Cleveland and raised in a strict Baptist church. His road to fame included a red leather Bible in hand and a lot of restrictions.

Growing up, movies were banned at his house, especially the kind he made later in life.

"We were not allowed to sing, dance, smoke ... or go to the movies," he said.

As soon as he was old enough to break away, his imagination ran amok, taking screaming moviegoers on the deepest, darkest journeys.

He morphed from a sheltered, Christian-raised child to the master of fears.

Former professor

In a way, his education prepared him for a career as a writer with an unbridled imagination.

Craven attended Wheaton College in Illinois, where he graduated with a degree in English and psychology. He later earned a master's in philosophy and writing, and briefly taught English.

After a brief stint as a professor, he said he worked on "many hard core X-rated films" as he tried to break into filmmaking.

In the 1970s, he shocked audiences with the realistic "drive-in" horror film "The Last House on the Left" -- which was censored in many countries at the time, including the United Kingdom -- and his cult classic, "The Hills Have Eyes."

Other notable films he directed include the horror-comedy "Vampire in Brooklyn" and other suspense films such as "Red Eye" and "The People Under the Stairs."

But it was not all about slicing and dicing.

In 1999, he directed "Music of the Heart," which featured Meryl Streep and Angela Bassett. The movie about a music teacher who inspires a group of children was a far cry from his usual horror flicks. It was nominated for an Oscar.

"No artist likes to do the same thing over and over without trying something new," he told CNN at the time.

Author

He fulfilled his college dream by writing several novels, including "Fountain Society."

"Writing a novel is something I've wanted to do since college," he said. "In fact, after college, when I was a teacher, I was writing all the time with the hope of being published. In the middle of that came the siren song of film ... but in the back of my mind I always wanted to write a novel."

He also loved music, and he played guitar briefly in Chicago.

Haunting generations

But it's his brand of bloody slasher movies that will haunt generations. And Craven says that while his movies are horrific, their concept is not that farfetched.

"All of us have the potential of being evil," he told CNN years ago. "The idea of the American dream community is an illusion. And the thought that you can construct a society that is free of evil is dangerous because you start to act very self-righteously."

Craven believed his bloody reel life was rooted in real life.

He fearlessly shaped and reshaped the horror movie genre -- and challenged perceptions along the way.

Leave it to the MTV Video Music Awards to give folks plenty to talk about the next day.

There were triumph and tears, politics and bare boobs. Seriously. We are not even joking.

Here's what you may have missed if you didn't catch this year's VMAs:

Kanye, bro ...

It all started so hopefully.

Taylor Swift gave a nod to the now infamous VMAs incident from 2009 when Kanye West rushed the stage after Swift beat out Beyonce, proclaiming that "Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time." On Sunday night Swift was there to present West with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.

Typical Taylor, in that Swift had nice things to say, including that West's "College Dropout" album was the first she purchased on iTunes when she was 12. And she called the rapper her friend.

Then West took to the stage, thanked Swift and things quickly went left.

He spoke of the aftermath of interrupting Swift lo those many years ago. He bit the hand that was feeding him by saying, "You know how many times MTV ran that footage again, 'cause it got them more ratings?" He said "bro" a lot.

But mostly West rambled while Swift -- and the rest of us -- stood there looking perplexed.

He ended his speech by announcing, "And yes, as you probably could have guessed by this moment, I have decided, in 2020, to run for president."

Then he literally dropped the mic.

Oh hey, Miley Cyrus' boob

By now we all know that Miley Cyrus is going to do what she wants to do.

Her twerking skills at the VMAs in 2013 and all the attention she's garnered since led to her being selected to host this year's show, and it was so many things.

There were skits about how she acts out on Instagram thanks to her "Instagram Think Tank," and one about her with her grandma, rapper Snoop Dogg and some marijuana brownies,

Cyrus made liberal use of the tape delay, as she cursed all she wanted, and her fashion throughout the evening defied description.

And if you thought she was scantily clad before the show in her barely there, sparkly Versace ensemble, you missed during the show when she was backstage changing, had the curtain dropped too low and showed all types of nipple.

And speaking of dropping, she also pulled a Beyonce and announced (after closing out the show with a performance) that her new album, "Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz," was now streaming online for free. In case anyone cared.

Justin Bieber was all in his feelings

If you are looking for some snark about Bieber's new hairstyle you can move along, nothing to see here folks.

Instead let's discuss his performance. The Biebs sang "Where Are U Now" and his new single "What Do You Mean" and all seemed to be going well.

Then at the end the kid broke down. Like he appeared to be sobbing on stage. Was he grateful for the audience response in light of criticism of his past bad boy ways? Was he overwhelmed with seeing how amazing his ex, Selena Gomez, was looking in the front row? Did he miss his nap earlier?

We aren't sure, but if the whole thing looked a bit familiar, it may be because you are remembering Chris Brown doing something similar during his performance at the BET Awards in 2010 following all the bad press he got after assaulting Rihanna.

Nicki Minaj flips the script

The show opened with Nicki Minaj giving us her all (and tons of her now famous backside) during her performance of "The Night Is Still Young." Swift joined her, proving that indeed the pair had put their earlier misunderstanding behind them after Minaj complained about not receiving a certain nomination for the VMAs and Swift thought the rapper was aiming criticism at her.

It was all love as the pair segued from Minaj's song into Swift's hit "Bad Blood."

But while Minaj and Swift are all good, it didn't seem like the same could be said about Minaj and Cyrus.

While accepting the best hip-hop video award for her song "Anaconda," Minaj thanked her pastor and then proceeded to take a jab at Cyrus over a New York Times story where Cyrus appeared to side with Swift in her past beef with the rapper.

"And now, back to this b***h that had a lot to say about me the other day in the press," Minaj said, gesturing at Cyrus. "Miley what's good."

Cyrus seemed to take it in stride, responding, "Hey, we're all in this industry, we all do interviews, and we all know how they manipulate s**t. Nicki, congratulations."

The parents of slain journalist Steven Sotloff are speaking about the foundation they established to honor his legacy and their disappointment with the U.S. government in a rare interviewing marking the one-year anniversary of his death.

South Florida residents Shirley and Arthur Sotloff have spoken little since the Islamic State group released a video showing a jihadi behead American-Israeli journalist Steven Sotloff on Sept. 2, 2014. Their pain is still raw and they are angry that the U.S. government didn't do enough to bring home their son, but they're channeling their grief and anger into 2Lives Steven Joel Sotloff Memorial Foundation to endow scholarships to journalism students.

Steven Sotloff's body has never been found, but the Steven Sotloff Memorial at Pinecrest Gardens is also slated to be unveiled later this month.

"He was my best friend. We were very close. We understood each other," Arthur Sotloff told the Miami Herald. "Instead of father and son, we were more like brothers and friends. We knew a lot about each other. I confided in him. He confided in me, which, at the time, I didn't think that was that normal to do."

Steven Sotloff, a 31-year-old freelance journalist for Time and Foreign Policy magazines, had been held hostage for a year after being taken from a fake government checkpoint while trying to from Turkey to Sytria to cover the Syrian civil war. Steven, who spoke fluent Arabic, often had to hide his Jewish heritage when he traveled.

During that year, they received one phone call and a smuggled letter in which Steven wrote, "Everyone has two lives. The second one begins when you realize that you only have one. Hug each other every day. Don't fight over stupid things."

"In that letter he was saying goodbye," Arthur Sotloff said. "He knew he wasn't going to make it out because he was told that every day that he wouldn't by his captors and he was telling us to go on with our lives. It was kind of a blueprint for the way Jews are supposed to live."

The video was released just days after Shirley Sotloff released her own video pleading with the Islamic State to spare their son.

"We were in shock," Shirley Sotloff said.

"Not once did we ever think it would end this way," Arthur Sotloff said. "When he was alive we weren't allowed to raise money to save my son. But now that he's gone I can raise as much money as I can for his legacy. I see something wrong with that philosophy."

Earlier this summer, President Barack Obama conceded the U.S. government had let down the families of Americans held hostage by terrorists and promised they would not face criminal prosecution for paying ransoms to their loved ones' captors. The president said U.S. government officials can communicate directly with terrorists and help families negotiate for the release of hostages. More than 30 Americans are being held hostage abroad, White House officials have said.

The Obama administration has received harsh criticism from families of Americans kidnapped by the Islamic State, al-Qaida and other groups. Families have complained about receiving confusing and contradictory information from the government and bristled at threats of prosecution for considering paying terrorists to secure the release of hostages.

In addition to the journalism scholarships, the Sotloffs said they're considering working with Diane Foley, the mother of American journalist James Foley who was killed weeks before Sotloff, to establish a hostage crisis center for families in the United States.

"The U.K. has a crisis place for families to go to. The U.S. has nothing," Shirley Sotloff said.

"Twenty years from now, I want to make sure my son's name is remembered by doing good things," his father added.

A husband and wife were injured Sunday when the small plane in which they were traveling crashed in the Florida Everglades while attempting to make an emergency landing.

Broward Sheriff's Office Department of Fire Rescue spokesman Mike Jachles identified the pilot as Kenneth McKenzie. The 52-year-old Fort Lauderdale man is the former chief operating officer of Spirit Airlines. His wife, Sonia McKenzie, 50, was the only passenger in the plane.

"They had a hard hit," Jachles said. "The plane burst into flames, but they were both able to get out."

Kenneth McKenzie was taken to the burn unit at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami. Sonia McKenzie was being treated at Broward Health North.

The plane crashed shortly after taking off from Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport.

"They were hoping to fly to Lynchburg, Virginia, when, shortly after takeoff, they encountered some problems," Jachles said. "Mrs. KcKenzie told BSO deputies that she said that they had a drop in the engine oil pressure and then engine failure."

The former Canadian military pilot found an open area in the Everglades near the Sawgrass Expressway, where he attempted to land the plane.

Coral Springs Fire Department Division Chief Mike Moser said the plane was fully engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived.

"The crews were able to suppress the flames using foam and water off the trucks," Moser said.

Jachles said the couple was "very lucky to be alive."

The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating.
