This week, Mae Defiel received a surprise of a lifetime: At 99 years old, she finally got her high school diploma!
Defiel attended high school in Cleveland, but her mother pulled her out of school to help the family and work.

When Defiel's family asked what she wanted for her 100th birthday in about two weeks, all she said was that she wanted to get her high school diploma.
During the Scottsdale Unified School District's board meeting this week, Defiel finally got her diploma, complete with a cap and gown. She also became an honorary member of Saguaro High School’s first graduating class.

Avondale police report details interview with pregnant teen later shot and killed
A new police report details an investigation into the man later accused of a deadly shooting in Buckeye, which killed three, including a pregnant teen.
The family of Rylee Montgomery said they had reported the alleged shooter to police in the weeks prior. Now, this new report details what the 16-year-old said during a forensic interview.
The report said that Montgomery accused Sanchez of choking her during a fight and pulling a gun on her. She said these were separate incidents, one in Buckeye and another in Avondale.
Police say Sanchez was the baby's father and denied the allegations in his own interview.
Avondale and Buckeye police both told ABC15 there wasn't enough evidence to pursue charges in either case.
This newly released Avondale police report said that on May 20, additional charges related to the prior incidents had been submitted to MCAO.
