Two Children Found Dead In West Point, 15-Year-Old Brother Taken In To Custody
(KUTV) Davis County Sheriff’s Deputies are investigating the deaths of two boys in West Point. Officials have identified their older brother as a person of interest in the case.

Police say the two brothers were found dead, and the other missing, Wednesday night after their mother left her oldest son to watch his 4-year-old and 10-year-old siblings. The children’s mother had left to take her daughter to a dance recital just before 5:00pm.

When she returned home, police say she found her 4-year-old son dead and called police. It wasn’t until police arrived that they discovered the 10-year-old was also dead.

Police immediately circulated the 15-year-old boy's picture Wednesday night in attempts to locate him and question him.

Officials said in a press conference Thursday that the 15-year-old boy was located in Layton City late Wednesday night. He was said to be in good condition, but was taken to the hospital to be evaluated for injuries.

The boy has since been taken into custody and is being held at Farmington Bay Youth Detention Center. Because the boy is a juvenile, no other details have been given. Investigators are still investigating to the cause of death but say they are investigating it as a homicide. Davis County Sheriff's Office said the boys appeared to have penetrating knife wounds. 

Police say they believe the boy acted alone.

The children's father is deployed stateside on active duty with the military but has been notified of the incident. The family has six children.

Davis County Sheriff's remain at the home and are expected to hold an additional news briefing later this afternoon.

Utah Named Top State For Business Outlook
(KUTV) Utah is a good place to be in business according to the American Legislative Exchange Council.

The small-government, pro-business organization named Utah the top state for business outlook for the sixth year in a row.
 
Governor Gary Herbert accepted the award Thursday at the Little America Hotel. Herbert noted Utah keeps taxes low and doesn’t regulate business very much. He also said he believes business, not government, drives the economy.

Herbert said Utah is growing faster than the nation.

“That’s the beauty of a free-market, capitalist system,” said Herbert. “The pie can get bigger.”

Teen Inspires The World While Raising Money For Prostate Cancer
(KUTV) Who says kids can't change the world? 14-year-old Winter Vinecki is here to prove that theory wrong.

Winter is raising money step by step as she runs around the world. She is raising money for prostate cancer. Her dad died of it when she was just 9-years-old.

After he died, Winter turned sadness into purpose, hoping she could raise some money along the way. So far, Winter has raised $400,000 for prostate cancer research. "I originally set my goal for 10-thousand dollars when I first formed Team Winter. To now be at over 400-thousand it’s just so hard to fathom how I got here,” says Winter.

Winter will be the youngest person ever to run marathons on every continent. Just recently, though, she decided running around the world wasn’t enough. She has now added ski jumping to the list to help broaden her reach. She plans on competing in the 2018 Winter Olympics.

"I ultimately want Team Winter to grow as big as the Lance Armstrong Foundation, as big as the Komen Foundation one day,” Winter says.

And even when she wants to give up, when there is that quiet nagging that it is too hard, or she is too tired, Winter thinks about her dad.

"I always think about my dad, how he never gave up with prostate cancer. So I'm never going to give up you know with school or jumping or running,” says Winter. “I can’t give up because I think, basically, every step I’m taking is those steps my dad never got to take in life.”
