Man in a wheelchair charged with killing 3 relatives

The Associated Press
JACKSON — A man
in a wheel chair has
been charged with fatal-
ly shooting his mother,
grandmother and sis-
ter Sunday morning at
a home in Mississippi’s
capital city, authorities
said.
The Jackson Police De-
partment said in a state-
ment that Maurice Forte,
22, is facing three counts
of murder in connection
with the deaths.
Police said officers
went to a home around 11
a.m. after receiving a call
about someone being held
against their will. When
they arrived, they found a
man in a wheelchair just
outside the home with a
firearm near him, accord-
ing to the statement.
Police said the man,
identified as Forte, told
them he had shot some-
one.
In the back of the
home, police found three

Police chief fired at Mississippi Demolition work starts this month

Valley State
IT TA BENA — Mississippi Valley
State University has fired its police chief
after he had worked for the university for
18 years.
The Greenwood Commonwealth re-
ports that Alex Granderson is one of sev-
eral high-ranking officials fired in recent
weeks.
The university had two non-fatal
shootings this year, but Granderson said
he thinks the firing was unfair, saying
he’d never been disciplined.
Spokeswoman Brittany Davis-Green
says she’s not allowed to comment on
personnel matters.
Granderson says he plans to appeal
through the university’s grievance pro-
cess.
The former chief, who had led the
campus force since 2017, says he was
fired by Vice President of Student Af-
fairs Jacqueline Gibson.
An anonymous flyer circulating on
campus complains about Gibson. She
couldn’t be reached for comment and
Davis-Green says she was unaware of
the flyer until asked.
Park reopens road, even though it
hasn’t been repaired
VICKSBURG — A road overlooking
the Mississippi River is reopening in
Vicksburg after being closed for more
than a year, even though landslide dam-
age hasn’t been repaired.
National Park Service officials, in a
Wednesday news release, say a recent
reassessment by the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers concluded Louisiana Circle
could reopen to small vehicles and pe-
destrian traffic.
Part of Vicksburg National Military
Park, the road accesses a Confederate
battery that sat atop a bluff over the Mis-
sissippi. It was closed in April 2017 after
rains caused part of the bluff to collapse.
Temporary barriers remain along the
river side of the roadway to keep visitors
away from the damaged area.
The road remains closed to recre-
ational vehicles and buses.
Park Service officials say they’re still
seeking full repair of the road.
on long-abandoned hospital
VICKSBURG— Work is supposed
to start this month on demolishing an
abandoned hospital.
The Vicksburg Post reports a Jack-
son company is supposed to remove as-
bestos and tear down the two buildings
of the former Kuhn Hospital within six
months.
Vicksburg is paying M&M Services
$750,000 for the work, with $460,000
coming from state grants and the city
paying the rest.
Mayor George Flaggs says he wants
a brick as a souvenir of the city’s long
struggle to clear the property.
Kuhn started as a city hospital and
became a state charity hospital in 1956.
Mississippi closed its three charity hos-
pitals in 1989.
Owners abandoned the property and
Vicksburg officials sought cleanup for
more than a decade. An abducted wom-
an’s murder on the property in 2015
brought new urgency to efforts.
Budget woes may force cuts to
Tunica County fire department
ROBINSONVILLE — The fire dis-
trict that protects Tunica County’s casi-
nos is again at risk of having its number
of firefighters cut in half.
North Tunica Fire spokesman Den-
nis Doughty tells WMC-TV that Tunica
County supervisors are considering cut-
ting their subsidy, which could leave the
fire department with only two firefight-
ers per shift.
Four firefighters are required before
anyone can enter a scene. That means
firefighters will have to wait for backup.
It’s also likely to make fire insurance
premiums jump.
The North Tunica Fire District
dropped to two firefighters per shift
earlier this year, but returned to four
after supervisors began subsidizing op-
erations. The district faced a shortfall
because property taxes in the district
have declined, in part because a casino
closed.
Supervisor James Dunn says he ex-
pects a decision next month.

An excursion like so had become a
rarity, as we leave home infrequently
except to go to town or, in Sam’s case,
fishing. Sam tells people, “Shannon

The way seemed unfamiliar as
Sam pointed out landmarks. “That’s

the road we take to Nate’s house.”

were other locals performing like the

In the nation

Swollen rivers near record levels as Florence looms

By CHUCK BURTON
The Associated Press
WILMINGTON, N.C. — With
Wilmington cut off from the rest of
North Carolina by still-rising flood-
waters from Florence, officials plan
to airlift food and water to the city
of nearly 120,000 people as rescu-
ers elsewhere pull inland residents
from homes threatened by swollen
rivers.
The spreading disaster claimed
additional lives Sunday, with at
least 17 people confirmed dead, and
the nation’s top emergency official
said other states were in the path
this week.
“Not only are you going to see
more impact across North Carolina
... but we’re also anticipating you
are about to see a lot of damage go-
ing through West Virginia, all the
way up to Ohio as the system ex-
its out,” Brock Long of the Federal
Emergency Management Agency
said Sunday on Fox News.
In Wilmington , the state’s
eighth-largest city, residents waited
for hours outside stores and restau-
rants for basic necessities like wa-
ter. Police guarded the door of one
store, and only 10 people were al-
lowed inside at a time.
County commission chairman
Woody White said officials were
planning for food and water to be
flown into the coastal city.
“Our roads are flooded,” he said.
“There is no access to Wilmington.”
About 70 miles (115 kilometers)
away from the coast, residents near
the Lumber River stepped from
their homes directly into boats
floating in their front yards; river
forecasts showed the scene could
be repeated in towns as far as 250
miles inland as waters rise for days.
In Anson County, east of Char-
lotte, a train derailed on Sunday
evening, but it wasn’t clear wheth-
er it was storm-related or if anyone
was injured. Several cars of a CSX
train derailed in Anson County,
east of the state’s largest city of
Charlotte, WBTV reported.
The derailment led to at least
one road closure. Officials have re-
ported flooding caused by Tropical
Storm Florence in Union County,
located between Charlotte and An-
son County.
Florence was still massive, de-
spite being downgraded to a tropi-
cal depression. Radar showed parts
of the sprawling storm over six
states, with North and South Caro-
lina in the bull’s-eye.
Meanwhile, halfway around the
world, Typhoon Mangkhut barreled
into southern China on Sunday af-
ter lashing the Philippines with
strong winds and heavy rain that
left dozens dead. More than 2.4
million people were evacuated from
China’s southern Guangdong prov-
ince ahead of the massive typhoon,
the strongest to hit the region in
nearly two decades.
In North Carolina, fears of what
could be the worst flooding in the
state’s history led officials to or-
der tens of thousands to evacuate,
though it wasn’t clear how many
had fled or even could.
President Donald Trump said
federal emergency workers, first re-
sponders and law enforcement offi-
cials were “working really hard.” As
the storm “begins to finally recede,
they will kick into an even higher
gear.”
“Very Professional!” he declared
in a tweet.
The storm’s death toll climbed to
17 as authorities said a 3-month-old
child was killed when a tree fell on
a mobile home in North Carolina.
Three people died in weather-relat-
ed traffic accidents, officials said.
Death tolls often rise
weeks after storm hits
More than six months
after Hurricane Irma’s
catastrophic rampage
across the Caribbean
and the southeastern
United States, the num-
ber of deaths attributed
to the storm increased to
129 — more than twice
the amount reported at
the end of the storm.
It took years for Hurri-
cane Katrina’s death toll
to become fully known.
That number is still de-
bated today with figures
used by disaster agen-
cies varying by as much
as 600 deaths.
And while the change
in the number of dead
from Hurricane Ma-
ria is perhaps the most
dramatic — rising from
64 to a 2,975 after the
Puerto Rican governor
commissioned universi-
ty researchers to review
the count — it’s common
for death tolls in natu-
ral disasters to escalate
weeks and months later
because of deaths indi-
rectly caused by a storm.
Those can include
things like infections
from contaminated wa-
ter, electrocutions from
downed power lines and
failure to receive dial-
ysis because of power
outages. Deaths directly
linked to a disaster in-
clude drownings from
a storm surge or being
crushed in a wind-top-
pled building.

PAYOFF COMES ON ‘MONEY’ DOWN FOR BULLDOGS
By Bret t Hudson

STARKVILLE — The Mississippi State
football team’s defense continues to set the
tone.
Through its first two games, No. 14
MSU allowed 3.48 yards per play, which
meant opponents had to run 29 plays to
reach 100 yards.
Louisiana-Lafayette needed only 15
plays and two possessions Saturday to
reach 100 yards. But the defense’s success
and the offense’s execution on third down
drama of a race featuring 12 cautions
and several wrecks.
“I didn’t think it was ever going to
end,” Keselowski said after his 27th
career victory and third in Las Vegas.
“I was worried about running out of
gas there at the end.”
Keselowski had plenty of worries
with just two laps to go while he sat
in his stationary car and waited for
the cleanup of Michael McDowell’s
wreck with Kurt Busch. But after the
red-flag stop ended, nobody could
keep up with Keselowski’s Team Pen-
ske Ford.
The victory extended an extraordi-
nary late-season run for Keselowski,
who won at Darlington and the Brick-
yard in consecutive weeks before Ve-
gas. Keselowski credited his pit crew’s
efficiency for the latest win in his im-
probable surge, which has added some
intrigue to a NASCAR season largely
dominated by the Big Three of Truex,
Harvick and Kyle Busch.

“He’s been in this league
for a long time, he can read
defenses, and to shake
him up a little bit is always
good,” Crawford said.
The Giants had ques-
tions with the offensive
front, and they’ll only grow
after Manning finished two
sacks shy of the most in his
career. New York also lost
center Jon Halapio, who
was carted off with an air
cast on his right leg in the
third quarter.
Manning converted
a pair of fourth downs
on sneaks, but the sacks
helped keep the Giants
from converting those into
points. He was even ham-
mered when he wasn’t be-
hind the line of scrimmage
— on a hit by linebacker
Jaylon Smith on a 1-yard
gain before New York’s
first points on Aldrick Ro-
sas’ 28-yard field goal late
in the third quarter.
Dear Abby
DEAR ABBY:
My husband,
“Bill,” and I have
been happily mar-
ried for 22 years
and have two very
active, beautiful
children. Our old-
est daughter has
been playing on a
traveling soccer
team for the last
five years. Bill
and I go all over
the country to
watch her play
and have become
very close to Dear Abby
the head coach,
“Marla,” and her
family.
I recently learned through
another parent that Bill dated
Marla for three years prior to
us getting married. This parent
informed me the relationship
between Bill and Marla was
so serious they had discussed
marriage.
When I heard it, I was very
upset. I couldn’t understand
why my husband would keep
that information from me all
this time. When I asked him,
he said it was true, but he
hadn’t felt it had been neces-
sary to tell me.
Bill hasn’t always been the
greatest communicator, but I
think this has crossed the line. and family therapist. If he
I feel I have been misled and
lied to. He acted as if he had
never even met her. It makes
Horoscopes
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept.
17). You’ll set a goal that
inspires your hopes. Ten smaller
goals grow from it, the pursuit
of which will culminate in a
big trophy or the metaphoric
equivalent. More highlights: The
love and approval of someone
you admire greatly will inspire
you to offer yourself the same
-- a life-changing shift in your
thinking. Pisces and Aries adore
you. Your lucky numbers are:
31, 19, 44, 47 and 10.
ARIES (March 21-April
19). Alone, you’re strong, but
you can only do so much. Seek
other strong people to add to
your network. The first step
to accelerated success is to
acquire support.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
“Eli’s confident,” coach
Pat Shurmur said. “He’s a
pro and he battled through-
out the game and I thought
he did a good job. I sense
confidence, yes.”
Prescott fooled the de-
fense several times with
fake handoffs to Elliott on
keepers around end. The
longest was a 15-yarder on
Dallas’ second possession.
It led to Maher’s first NFL
field goal from 37 yards.
For the second-straight
week, the Giants didn’t
get a touchdown until the
fourth quarter. New York
made it interesting when
Michael Thomas recov-
ered an onside kick after
Manning’s 18-yard scoring
pass to Evan Engram with
1 minute, 27 seconds re-
maining.
me wonder how
many other se-
crets he’s hiding
from me.
I’m having
a hard time
trusting him now,
and I feel there’s
something seri-
ously wrong with
our relationship.
I’m also uncom-
fortable around
Marla and her
family. I wonder
if her husband
knows about
their relationship.
Do I have the
right to be upset
about this situation? — KEPT
IN THE DARK
DEAR KEPT: You have the
right to be upset — and angry
— about the deception. If you
want to know if Marla’s hus-
band knows what went on be-
tween her and your husband,
ask her. Perhaps she can fill
you in on what else your hus-
band “forgot” to mention.
Bill appears to have a
large character flaw, and the
two of you appear to have
a serious communication
problem. Before this damages
your marriage further, you and
Bill should schedule some ses-
sions with a licensed marriage
stonewalls or refuses to go
with you, go without him.
DEAR ABBY: My aunt and
Release control and let the day
take you where it will. What
ensues will be highly creative.
You could stumble onto a path
that turns out to be more of a
calling.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Though the physical you is cer-
tainly becoming, someone close
is currently being magnetized
to your very attractive mind.
That said, remember you have
nothing to prove, and sharing all
you know is not advised.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Whether or not you know what
you want, you are attracting
it. That’s why it’s important to
write down your thoughts on the
subject. Try to dig deep. You’ll
be surprised by what you find
out about yourself.

uncle from another state still
send me a birthday check ev-
ery year for my birthday, which
is generous and thoughtful of
them. While the sum is not
large, I feel it is not necessary,
and it makes me uncomfort-
able. I’m in my late 20s now
and have a good job with a
good income.
How do I politely tell them
that while I appreciate their
kindness, it is not necessary
to send their adult niece a
check every year? I’m not par-
ticularly close with them and
am afraid of offending. — UN-
COMFORTABLE IN MICHIGAN
DEAR UNCOMFORTABLE:
From your description of your
aunt and uncle, they are
thoughtful, caring people,
so when you talk to them,
express your gratitude for their
generosity. Then suggest that
because you are now an adult,
with a good job and a good
income, you think it might be
time to consider exchanging
only greeting cards on special
occasions. Of course, this
means you will be sending
them cards for their birthdays,
anniversary and Christmas, if
you don’t already do it.
Dear Abby is written by
Abigail Van Buren, also known
as Jeanne Phillips, and was
founded by her mother, Pauline
Phillips. Contact Dear Abby
at www.DearAbby.com or P.O.
Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA
90069.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). May-
be you can’t always be around
the people you admire (because
some of them are dead and
others are inaccessible celeb-
rities), but you can spend time
with them through studying and
imagination. Even better.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Though you don’t want to cause
stress by making others wait
unnecessarily, the energy of
rushing is also stressful. Both
states are avoidable through
proper time management
and planning, which are your
expertise.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
There are days when the ob-
stacles are avoidable or easily
surmountable or nonexistent.
These are the smoother days,
but not necessarily the better
ones, when you consider that
the obstacle is actually the
path.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). The people who operate
under a specific creed will
intrigue you and make you
question some of your views.
Though there is no objective
right or wrong here, there are
ways of thinking that are more
productive than others.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-
Dec. 21). Nothing in the forest
grows in the wrong place. Every
seed finds its way to a useful
purpose, whether it’s in the
stomach of a squirrel or in fer-
tile soil. Rest assured that the
natural progression is working
toward the greater good.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Food for thought can be
assessed for nutritive value just
as food for the body can. You’ll
find greater enrichment as you
avoid the mental equivalent to
junk food.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). You don’t have to go out of
your way to find or even create
something beautiful today. It’s
all there for you already; all
you have to do is see it. Loving
eyes bring normal things into
stunning focus.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). Spiritually driven, you’re
definitely no money-grubber.
However, there’s nothing wrong
with your craving for certain
material creature comforts or
even dreaming of riches as you
will do today.
Buck up!
