Terrible news. Iuka has long been a mess.
I suspect Officer Tartt was related to the talented author Donna Tartt. She grew up in Grenada.
Tragic and sad.
Do we know anything about Charles Lee Lambert?
Terrible news. Trea Staples, one of officers shot, is a distant cousin. Bubba Holifield is the son of a childhood friend. Please keep them in your prayers.
Trea is out of surgery and resting well. Haven’t heard any updates on Bubba.
On a message board someone stated that Lambert was unstable and there was a standoff with him a few years back where he held a knife to his wife's neck at a Wal Mart. In a few days we will know more about him.
Bubba Holifield with a little support from his peers.
Bubba and his wife.
Trea Staples and his wife.
