Georgia: Explosion was in distillery at farming operation
EATONTON, Ga. (AP) — A propane explosion and fireplace that killed a Georgia man final week occurred at a rural distillery inside a delivery container, Georgia Insurance coverage and Hearth Security Commissioner’s Workplace mentioned Monday.
The apparently unintended blast occurred Wednesday, the The Telegraph reported. A propane tank blew up on the website of a farming operation about 4 miles (6.4kilometers) northeast of Eatonton, in Putnam County.
The individual killed, 74-year-old Charles Roy Embry, operated Embry Farm Providers.
Georgia fireplace officers mentioned in an announcement Monday that the explosion brought about extreme harm to the delivery container.
“The constructing was a distillery, and investigators consider an explosion occurred on account of a propane fuel leak,” the assertion mentioned.
ATLANTA (WANF/Gray News) – A Georgia man is charged with murder after a Kennesaw State University student was shot and killed on campus.
The victim’s family and the university identified her as 21-year-old Alasia Franklin. She is described as outgoing and caring, and she had aspirations of becoming a nurse practitioner, WANF reports.
“She was very determined. Her purpose was to speak up for people who were afraid to speak up for themselves,” said Anthony Harrison, a friend who worked with Franklin in student government. “She was such an important figure within this university. We can’t let this go.”
The shooting happened Saturday afternoon in front of the Austin Residence Complex on the Kennesaw campus. Police say there was an argument, and shots were fired.
Harrison says he was taking a nap when the shooting happened right outside his window. He says he heard seven or eight gunshots and saw Franklin’s body.
“We need to advocate for her and make sure that she gets the true justice that she deserves because nobody ever deserves to go out the way that she did,” Harrison said.
In response to the shooting, the school was put on lockdown for about 30 minutes.
Cobb County Police located and arrested the suspect, identifed as Samuel Harris, shortly after the incident, university officials said. He is not a Kennesaw State student.
“He just came in on campus and did something so senseless,” Harrison said. “It’s just insane.”
The suspect is being charged with murder, aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.
University officials say counseling services and resources will be available to all those affected by Franklin’s death.
“Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with the victim’s family and friends during this incredibly difficult time,” said KSU President Kathy S. Schwaig in a statement.
The KSU Police Department and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation are collaborating on the investigation.

Police in Savannah, Georgia, are investigating a shooting that injured 11 people in the city’s downtown area on Saturday night.
The shooting broke out just before midnight in Ellis Square, a fixture of Savannah’s historic district and a popular tourist attraction. Several precincts responded at 11:55 p.m. to reports of gunfire in the area, the Savannah Police Department said in a news release issued Sunday morning.
At the time, detectives were probing the incident and had interviewed witnesses as part of their investigation, which was still ongoing. Savannah police have not identified suspects or announced any arrests in the case.
Everyone hurt in the shooting, including the people who suffered gunshot wounds, are adults, according to the police department, and some were transported from the scene to Memorial Health University Medical Center. Police did not share details about the nature or extent of those injuries but said in Sunday’s news release that “as of now, no deaths have occurred because of the incident.”
They told CBS affiliate WTOC that at least 10 people were believed to be hurt as a result of the gunfire. All 11 people received treatment overnight for their injuries, which police said were not considered life-threatening, WTOC reported.
