7 Killed in is super hot on the BuzzFeed Network right now. Here's all the best viral buzz on 7 Killed in.
Celebrity Buzz Rapper and 1017 Brick Squad member Slim Dunkin, a.k.a. Mario Hamilton, was pronounced dead on Friday, Atlanta police reported. The rapper, who was on set of a music video, was shot and killed after an argument broke out shortly after his arrival.
Culture Buzz Disgusting. Authorities in South Africa are trying to find any information regarding this photo and the welfare of the child therein. The Facebook user who posted it goes by the name “Eugene Terrorblanche.” Police contact information can be found here. WARNING: This is truly an awful image. We can only hope it's staged.
A government official has confirmed that Al-Qaida number two leader, Atiyah Abd al-Rahman, has been killed in Pakistan. The source, who currently remains anonymous, says al-Rahman was killed in the region of Waziristan on August 22, the same day of a U.S. drone attack that killed four suspected militants. More to come. (via.)
Charlie Sheen’s Charlie Harper of Two and a Half Men dies a gruesome death via the subway. On-set sources leaked the info after Friday’s taping of the season premiere, starring Ashton Kutcher. We already knew that it was Charlie’s funeral, but now we know he got macked by the MTA. (via.)
Extremely disturbing video of a 19-year-old man dying on the street after being shot by the San Francisco Police Department. The incident stemmed from a routine fare inspection on a San Francisco bus. The man fled and police pursued. Officers at the scene insist he was armed and fired on them, but a gun was never found. Multiple eyewitnesses say the young man was never armed and had his hands up at the time he was shot. Again, this video—depicting the man bleeding on the ground shortly after the fatal gunshot—is very graphic. More information here. (via globalgrind.com)
Culture Buzz A young woman, apparently fainting from yesterday's stifling heat, passed out at a New York City subway station and fell on the tracks. She was killed instantly by the oncoming train. The woman has since been identified as 21-year-old Fatoumata Binta Amina Diallo, a native of Ghana who was studying in Manhattan to become a doctor. Eyewitnesses say she briefly came to on the tracks and desperately tried to crawl to safety. Onlookers were horrified as she was cut in half by the train.
Politics Buzz USA Today/Gallup poll asked Americans their opinions about the mission to kill Osama bin Laden, and Good displayed the info succinctly in a nice infographic. It seems that most Americans approve that bin Laden was killed.
Culture Buzz These disturbing images, obtained by Reuters, show the corpses of three unidentified men who were shot by U.S. Navy SEALs in the raid that killed Osama bin Laden. They were taken by a Pakistani security official inside the compound shortly after the raid. None of them appear to be bin Laden himself. Again, these are very graphic. Not for the faint of heart.
Culture Buzz From ABC News, bloody images and video from the room where U.S. forces shot and killed Osama bin Laden. A.K.A., “the kill site.” Again, these are graphic, so the squeamish may want to move on.
He died as lived…as a cave-wetting coward. Another of the honorifics for which he'll be remembered.
Sorry, but after all of this Donald Trump bullshit, a victory lap is deserved. Osama bin Obama'd.
President Obama announces from the White House that, at his order, Osama Bin Laden has been killed. This is a turning point in American history that will be remembered for generations to come.
This is the video that sparked the ongoing riots in Afghanistan which have left at least twenty dead, including two Americans. Pastor Terry Jones, of Florida's Dove World Outreach Center, is an asshole.
Culture Buzz The artist known as Boneface did a series of illustrations with effed up and vibrantly bleeding superheroes. There's something strangely gratifying about seeing Robin with his ass beat.
Disturbing footage of a street protester being shot in Egypt. The condition and identity of the victim is unknown. They appear to have been participating in anti-government protests that have engulfed the Middle Eastern nation in the past few days. The Mubarak regime has imposed an internet and text messaging blackout in Egypt, presumably to stymie further organizing and prevent images such as these from sparking a Tunisia-style overthrow.
A Halloween Spurs versus Kings game was (appropriately enough) being interrupted by a bat flying around the court. That is, until Spurs guard Manu Ginobili took matters into his own hands.

“I really do think the Michelle Bachmanns of the world and the Glenn Becks of the world are actively and, consciously or subconsciously, trying to get, I'm just gonna say it, trying to get the President killed.”
