Two sources with direct knowledge of the investigation said DeLong shot Robert Douglas Delgado, 46, after Delgado drew what appeared to be a firearm.

The ones that you love, tell them :
The first COVID-19 case in the U.S. was reported in Washington State on January 20, 2020.
The first death came on February 29th, 2020.
A year later, over 400,000 Americans have died from COVID-19.
Right here in Georgia, the virus has taken over 11,000 people.
Each one is more than just a number with their own family, career and story.
Robin Sadler Markey is one of them.

Growing up, Sadler says his sister was the quietest of the four siblings.
When covid deaths aren’t counted, families pay the price
On Sundays, Bishop Bruce Davis preached love. Through his Pentecostal ministry, he organized youth parades and gave computers, bicycles and food to families in need.
During the week, Bruce practiced what he preached, caring for prisoners at a Georgia hospital. On March 27 he began coughing, and on April 1 he was hospitalized. He d tested positive for covid-19. The virus swept through his household, infecting his wife and daughter and hospitalizing their disabled son. Ten days after landing in the hospital, Bruce died.
But when Gwendolyn Davis received her husband’s death certificate, she was taken aback. The causes of death? Sepsis and renal failure. No mention of covid-19.

Letters to the Editor - Deflecting blame, vaccine confusion, Section 230 about social media, Sen. Ted Cruz, Klyde Warren Park fountain
Readers can’t believe the president takes no blame for the Capitol riot, say the vaccine rollout is not going well, point out social media is used by radicals on both sides, urge Cruz to step down and say the park fountain will distract drivers.
Re: “Trump rejects blame for Capitol riot,” Wednesday news story.
I can’t believe what the president just said. Again. After all we’ve been through since the Capitol riot, President Trump had the audacity to issue a thinly veiled threat to all Americans. Speaking of impeachment, he said, ”.to continue on this path, I think it’s causing tremendous danger to our country, and it’s causing tremendous anger.”
