These are your Top Trenders this morning!

The man wanted for the murder of three people on the Las Vegas strip last week is in custody.

The driver then accelerated into a taxi, killing the two more people.

The White House has warned the $85 billion in cuts would impact everything from commercial flights to classrooms.

The Twitter account for former Pope Benedict XVI has fallen silent.

The man now known as "Emeritus Pope Benedict," sent out his last tweet around five o'clock Thursday evening in Rome.

Meanwhile, the cardinals are getting ready to choose Benedict's successor.

Colorado College students did the popular Harlem Shake on a Frontier flight and it went viral on YouTube.
