The first tiger cubs to be born at Zoo Atlanta in a decade arrived late Tuesday. Chelsea, a 7-year-old Sumatran tiger, gave birth to two cubs. It's the first offspring for Chelsea and her mate, 10-year-old Kavi. Mom and cubs are bonding in a special indoor den; once she and her brood have adapted to their surroundings, they will be on view via webcam at the Sun Bear/Tiger Terrace at Zoo Atlanta and at www.zooatlanta.com. Sumatran tigers are the world's rarest tiger species, with fewer than 400 believed to remain in the wild.

The state Department of Corrections on Wednesday set a July 20 execution date for Cobb County killer Andrew Grant DeYoung.
DeYoung sits on death row for killing his parents Gary and Kathy DeYoung, both 41, and his sister, Sarah, 14, in their northeast Cobb home in 1993. At the time, Andrew DeYoung was a 19-year-old, straight-A business major at Kennesaw State College. During closing arguments at the trial, then-Cobb District Attorney Tom Charron called the stabbing deaths "a crime that shocked the conscience of the community." BILL RANKIN
