Relatives, authorities ask for public's help with investigation of Ole Miss player's fatal shooting
Authorities on Monday asked for members of the public to provide surveillance footage and details from eyewitnesses as they investigate the fatal shooting of an Ole Miss freshman football player in a Memphis neighborhood after a pool party. Corey Adams, an 18-year-old defensive lineman from New Orleans, was found with a gunshot wound inside a vehicle at an intersection in the Memphis suburb of Cordova on Saturday night, said Anthony Buckner, chief deputy of the Shelby County Sheriff's Office. Adams died at the location of the shooting. Four other men who suffered gunshot wounds that were not life-threatening arrived at nearby hospitals in personal vehicles. Three of them had been released from the hospital as of Monday afternoon, Buckner said. The shooting happened after a pool party attended by about 100 people, including Adams, Buckner said during a news conference. About 40 rifle and pistol casings were found at the shooting scene. No arrests have been made. Buckner asked members of the public who may have information useful to investigators, including surveillance footage from video cameras at neighbors' homes, to come forward. 'We have far more questions right now than we have answers,' Buckner said. 'We know people saw something or heard something.' Adams, who played at Edna Carr High School in New Orleans, is listed on the Ole Miss football website as a 6-foot-4-inch, 235-pound defensive end. He had been one of the top defensive lineman recruits in the country. Adams' mother, who spoke at the news conference but declined to be named for fear of retribution, said Adams was a loving son and brother who had hopes of playing in the NFL. He had time off from practice and went to Memphis to enjoy himself, she said. Memphis is about 85 miles (135 kilometers) north of Oxford, Mississippi, where Ole Miss is located. The Edna Karr Cougars said in a Facebook post that 'words can't describe this type of pain.' 'Corey Adams was more than a football player! He was a friend, brother, son, student, and all around great young man,' the team stated. 'We never question God but this is one we just don't understand.' ___

Miracle as cat survives horror noose attack by teen thug smashing the family pet against a wall THREE times
TABBY cat Marshall is on the mend after being swung around in a noose and repeatedly smashed into a wall by a thug. A doorbell camera caught Henry Newey, 18, dragging the ginger moggie by a rope tied around its neck. 3 3 3 The cruel lout was then seen swinging the pet three times into the side of a house. Newey was shown on the footage calmly walking away following the attack at 6am on Thursday. Marshall vanished before returning home in Basingstoke, Hants, at 1am on Friday — gasping for breath and with rope still around his throat. The cat was taken to a vet and given painkillers for bruising and swelling, but amazingly X-rays found no broken bones. A GoFundMe page set up by Marshall's owner Sarah Keeling, who had no pet insurance, has already raised almost £4,000. Any money left over will go to animal charities. Sarah, a mum who is eight months pregnant, wrote: 'As a family we have been overwhelmed by the support. "I have a very happy eight-year-old girl who has her little friend back.' Hampshire Police said: 'We are pleased to report the cat has received treatment and has since returned home with its owners.' Newey, of Basingstoke, was remanded on conditional bail at Southampton magistrates' court on Saturday after admitting causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal. He will be sentenced in September.
