Valu-Rite Tito's Vodka is not hand sanitizer.

Tito’s, the reasonably-priced Texas vodka brand with a lively Twitter presence, has sent 11 tweets over the past 24 hours clarifying that, no, its beverage does not meet the CDC’s recommended minimum alcohol content for hand sanitizer. Contrary to what various Twitter users apparently believe.

Hey 'Ettes, William Shatner is single and has kept his horse reproduction equipment.

William Shatner and his ex-wife Elizabeth Martin have divvied up their assets and it looks like the award-winning actor is walking away with the former couple's supply of horse semen.

The "Star Trek" actor, 88, filed for divorce from Martin in December after 18 years of marriage. Court records show the exes reached a divorce settlement this week and their takeaways from the belongings they shared are unique, to say the least.

According to reports, Shatner and Martin split up their four horses, with the actor scoring Renaissance Man's Medici and Powder River Shirley, while Martin will get Belle Reve's So Photogenic and Pebbles.

DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. (WGCL/CNN) - A fast food worker in Georgia was arrested after he allegedly pulled a gun and shot at some customers, injuring two of them.

Johnte Robinson, 24, is charged with aggravated assault following the Tuesday shooting at a Checkers location in DeKalb County, Georgia.

According to the mother of one of the victims, her son told her there was a mix-up between his order and that of another customer. There was an argument, and Robinson allegedly pulled a gun on the customers.

Robinson then reportedly fired a bullet from inside the restaurant, grazing the woman’s son and striking the other customer in the neck.

Officers at the scene confirmed one person was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

A Checkers spokesperson says the franchisee is fully cooperating with the police. The restaurant is currently closed.

Former hostage taker of US diplomats Hossein Sheikholeslam.

Former Iranian ambassador to Syria and a hostage-taker of U.S. diplomats, Hossein Sheikholeslam, died Thursday from a Covid19 infection, local news outlets report.

An advisor to the Islamic Republic Foreign Minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, 68-year-old Sheikholeslam was one of the leaders of the so-called "Muslim Student Followers of Imam's Line," who took 52 U.S. diplomats hostage, on November 4, 1979, and released them after 444 days.

Sheikholeslam studied at the University of California at Berkeley before the Iranian revolution and later interrogated U.S. Embassy staff members during the Iranian hostage crisis in 1979.

Tested positive for the novel coronavirus two days ago, Sheikholeslam was taken to Masih Daneshvari hospital in Tehran, where all Iranian authorities infected with Covid-19 are treated.
