Four firefighters, two civilians injured in Jefferson Parish fire
METAIRIE, La. (WGNO) — An infant is among six people who were injured in an apartment building fire in Metairie on Tuesday afternoon. Some firefighters also needed to be treated. Jefferson Parish Fire Chief Charles Hudson said firefighters arrived at the scene around 5:05 p.m., where they found heavy fire coming from the second floor of the building. Several people were trapped. 'There's one adult that was taken to university with heavy burns, and an infant was brought to children's hospital with heavy burns,' Hudson said. Man dies in Montegut house fire Christon Morgan, who lived on the first floor of the building, said that he was driving home from work when he saw his home on fire. 'I thought the gas station was on fire at first because I couldn't see the apartment from behind the gas station. So, once I made it to the corner, I noticed that our apartment was on fire,' Morgan said. Morgan says, during the fire, the injured man was seen hanging from the balcony and eventually collapsed on the street. He says that scene is something he will never forget. Other than the infant and the adult resident, four firefighters were taken away by ambulance to be treated for smoke inhalation and heat exhaustion. Hudson says that, due to their hard work and the civilian heroes who helped them, the remaining occupants of the complex were able to escape with little to no harm. 'People just stopped and saw the fire and started helping, and as we arrived on the scene, started pointing us in the right direction to get to the back of the building and get up on the second floor, where they did have people still in the building and we got them out safe and sound,' Hudson Posts Early showers but not much later in the day TikTok impersonation scheme hits Florida barber shop New Orleans to honor Katrina's 20th anniversary with week of events and summit Fans may have saved Mona Lisa French Quarter restaurant Saints name starting quarterback for preseason opener versus Chargers Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

33 days until Saints season opener: Every player to wear No. 33
Hall of Famer Tyrone Hughes tops the list of players who have worn No. 33 in Saints history The New Orleans Saints are 33 days away from their matchup against the Arizona Cardinals to kick off their 2025 regular season. Wearing No. 33 for the Saints is rookie safety Jonas Sanker, trying to become the first successful player that the Saints have had in that number for quite some time. Here's a look at all who wore that jersey number for New Orleans. Saints' History of No. 33 The first player to put on a No. 33 jersey for the Saints was Randy Schultz, who picked up a total of 489 yards and scored twice in two years and 17 games with the team. Steve Preece was the first defensive player to wear 33, intercepting one throw in one season as a Saint. The first player that was drafted by New Orleans to wear No. 33 was Mike Strachan, selected in the ninth round. Strachan had a productive career with the Saints, playing 62 games over six years. It remains the second longest stretch that a player has worn No. 33 with New Orleans. In that span, he rushed for 1,902 yards and scored 14 touchdowns. Unfortunately, Strachan is just as remembered for a cocaine trafficking conviction in 1982 while with the Saints that sent him to federal prison. A St. Augustine High School product that starred collegiately for the Nebraska Cornhuskers, Tyrone Hughes returned home as a Round 5 selection in the 1993 NFL draft. Hughes made an instant impact. He returned 2 punts and 1 kickoff for touchdowns as a rookie, leading the NFL in punt return average (13.6) and yardage (503) while ranking second in kickoff return average. That earned him All-Rookie accolades as well as Pro Bowl and second-team All-Pro honors. In 1994, Hughes intercepted 2 passes and returned 2 of his 3 fumble recoveries for touchdowns while leading the NFL with 128 fumble return yards. He led the NFL in kickoff return yards, returning 2 for touchdowns. Both returns came during a game against the Los Angeles Rams, where Hughes set NFL single-game records for kickoff return and combined kickoff/punt return yardage while also having an interception in that same contest. Tyrone Hughes was a standout corner and elite return specialist for New Orleans for 63 games from 1993 to 1996, the longest stretch of any Saint to wear No. 33. He led the league in kickoff return yards for three consecutive seasons and punt return yardage once. In 2015, Tyrone was inducted into the Saints Hall of Fame. He remains second in franchise history in both kickoff and punt return yards, holds the longest punt return in team history, with his five combined kick and punt return touchdowns tops in franchise history. Safety Rob Kelly was the highest-drafted player by the Saints to wear No. 33. A second round and 33rd overall choice from the Ohio State Buckeyes in 1997, Kelly would play all four of his NFL seasons with New Orleans. He only wore 33 as a rookie, wearing a different number in each year with the Saints. Of the 21 players to wear 33 in New Orleans so far, only three have done so for more than two seasons, with 15 of them wearing it for one year or less. Jabari Greer was the last New Orleans player to wear 33 for longer than a year. Greer was with the Saints for five seasons, switching from No. 32 to 33 in 2010. An outstanding cornerback, Greer helped transform the New Orleans defense to a championship caliber unit during their 2009 Super Bowl XLIV title run. He had 9 interceptions over his Saints career, returning two for scores while breaking up 48 passes. Easily the most disappointing player to wear 33 for the team was Stanley Jean-Baptiste. A second round choice in the 2014 NFL draft, Jean-Baptiste was the second highest drafted player by New Orleans at 58th overall to wear the 33 jersey. He played only four games for New Orleans and was gone from the team the following offseason, bouncing around the practice squads of five different teams over the next four years. Safety Jonas Sanker, a Round 3 selection in this year's draft, now gets his chance in No. 33. Sanker will be the seventh different player to wear the jersey in the last 12 years, but is expected to be a crucial part of the New Orleans secondary.

Song Young-kyu, South Korean movie and TV star, found dead at 55: Reports
Song Young-kyu, a South Korean actor best known for his role as Chief Choi in 2019's South Korean box office hit "Extreme Job," has reportedly died. He was 55. An acquaintance found Young-kyu unresponsive inside a parked car the morning of Aug. 4, Variety and South Korean publication Yonhap News report. South Korean authorities do not suspect foul play and no suicide note was found, according to the outlets. Young-kyu, who was found south of Seoul in the city of Yongin, had recently been the subject of scandal when he was caught in a drunk driving incident in the same city in June, Deadline and Variety reported. The incident led to his removal from several mid-project stage and television productions. A staple in South Korean cinema, Young-kyu made his acting debut in 1994, launching a robust career that spanned both film and TV. Appearing in popular series like 2022's "Narco-Saints," a popular Korean Netflix original series, and Disney+'s "Big Bet," he was a reliable supporting actor, bringing both experience and consistency. Young-kyu was best known, though, for his role as Chief Choi in the action-comedy blockbuster "Extreme Job." In it, he appears as the head of a detective squad investigating narcotics on the low and running a fried chicken restaurant as a front. He appeared in the film alongside actors Ryu Seung-ryong, Lee Hanee and Jin Seon-kyu. It was a major box office success in the country and introduced a wider set of audiences to Youn-kyu's steady and masterful onscreen presence.
