Ole Miss needed a response after a disappointing loss to Kentucky in Week 5. It got just that with a 27-3 win over South Carolina on Saturday at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia.

The Rebels took a 7-0 lead in the first quarter after a short Henry Parrish run capped a quick 5-play drive that lasted just over a minute and a half. That lead stretched to 14-0 after JJ Pegues rumbled into the end zone with six minutes remaining in the frame.

After the two teams exchanged field goals, Pegues added another score right before the half, the big man’s 4th of the season. It was 24-3 at the break.

The Rebels added a field goal in the second half for the only other scoring the rest of the way, but the Gamecocks weren’t able to chip away at the lead. South Carolina’s Alex Herrera missed a 38-yard field goal just under 6 minutes into the third quarter, and despite forcing a fumble on the Rebels’ ensuing drive, the Gamecocks couldn’t turn it into points.

Later, with South Carolina deep in Ole Miss territory early in the 4th, LaNorris Sellers threw an interception into the end zone. They turned it over on downs on their next possession as Sellers was sacked at the Rebels 24.

Jaxson Dart had a decent performance throwing the ball — 14-of-27 for 285 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions — but had 8 carries for 44 yards. Juice Wells had 3 catches for 97 yards to lead all receivers in his return to Columbia. Parrish finished with 21 carries for 81 yards, including his first-quarter score.

For the Gamecocks, Sellers was 20-of-32 for 162 yards. He was sacked 6 times as the Rebels defense held South Carolian to 313 yards.

OWENSBORO, Ky. (WEHT) — Fifteen firefighters from Owensboro, Daviess Daviess County, Henderson, Greenville, Airport-Sorgho fire departments and the Fire Academy of Kentucky partook in international training in Olomouc.

Through a Sister Cities Firefighter exchange program, these firefighters engaged in hands-on training like residential firefighting and flashover drills.

The goal of an exchange like this is to not only strengthen everyday skills for these local firefighters, but to also increase strong international ties.

It is said they also participated in on-duty shifts with the Olomouc Fire Department, responding to emergencies and putting their new skills to practice.

During the day, the firefighter were immersed in various scenarios and training courses but at night, they were hitting the streets of Olomouc. They got to experience a “unique exposition of fall decorations” at “Fall Flora” and supported a home team hockey game.

After 5 full days in the Czech Republic, the local firefighters made their way back to Owensboro Saturday morning. Officials with OFD says they arrived at midnight and are now regaining their rest after countless hours of travel.

This week-long exchange comes just months after their previous endeavor to the Czech Republic in April.

A newly released video shows the moment when a Kentucky sheriff pointed his gun at a judge’s head before allegedly shooting and killing him. 

The surveillance footage shows Letcher County Sheriff Shawn Stines, 43, and District Judge Kevin Mullins, 54, in the judge’s chambers having what appeared to be a heated conversation on Sept. 19 before the sheriff pulled out his gun and pointed it at the judge.

Mullins was seen in the video sitting behind his desk when Stines pulled the gun, and Mullins then raised his hands and attempted to turn away just before Stines fired several rounds at him.

Earlier released footage of the shooting was played in court during a preliminary hearing on Tuesday, according to the Courier Journal.

The video showed Mullins seeking cover under his desk as Stines fired his gun. The sheriff then approached the judge, who was still under his desk, and shot him twice at close range before leaving the chambers, the footage shows.

Kentucky Detective Clayton Stamper testified that the sheriff surrendered immediately after the shooting.

Stines told police, “They’re trying to kidnap my wife and kid,” according to Stamper.

The sheriff and the judge had been friends for decades and had lunch together hours before the alleged killing.

Stamper said additional surveillance footage from inside the chambers that has not been shown in court or publicly released captured the sheriff using his and Mullins’ phones to make multiple calls to his daughter just before the shooting, according to the Courier Journal.

Police found Stines’ daughter’s phone number saved in the judge’s phone, Stamper said.

Defense attorney Jeremy Bartley declined to reveal a possible motive for the shooting, but authorities reportedly said the incident was being investigated as a possible sex scandal.

Stines announced Monday that he was retiring as sheriff.

He pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and is being held at the Leslie County Jail. His case was sent to a grand jury for indictment.
