Ole Miss football player, 18, dies in Tennessee shooting, officials say
The Shelby County Sheriff's Office said the incident occurred in Cordova, which is located just east of Memphis. Officials said the responding deputies discovered a male suffering from a gunshot wound and provided "life-saving measures" until the fire department arrived.
The victim was later pronounced dead at the scene. Adams was later identified as the victim.
Officials said deputies found multiple shell casings at the scene and later learned that four other gunshot victims checked into area hospitals. They were listed in non-critical condition.
Ole Miss later released a statement on Adams' death.
"We are devastated to learn that Corey Adams, a freshman on the team, passed away last night in Cordova, Tennessee," the school said. "While our program is trying to cope with this tragic loss, our thoughts are with his loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.
"Out of respect for his family, we will not be commenting further at this time. We ask the Ole Miss community to keep Corey in their thoughts and respect the privacy of everyone involved."
Adams was a standout high school football player at Edna Karr in New Orleans. The defensive lineman was rated as a three-star recruiting prospect. He was a two-time first-team All-State selection.
He had 51 tackles and 12 sacks during his junior year of high school.

‘I'm Sorry, But That's Not My Fault:' Woman Drives in to Fuel Up Her Car. Then She Learns That She's Pumping Someone Else's Gas
A woman is going viral after sharing a gas station mix-up that left her feeling confused and frustrated. Is She the A-Hole? In a trending video, content creator Ashley Miller (@millerpartyof7) shared the strange encounter she just had at the gas station. 'Am I the [expletive]? A story time, if you will,' Miller said. Miller explained that she was distracted while talking to her son and started pumping gas without realizing the pump had already been activated. Moments later, the gas station attendant rushed outside and told her she was 'pumping somebody else's gas.' 'I'm just like confused,' she says. 'And he's not explaining it.' At first, she assumed her own payment had gone through. But, after thinking about it, she realized she never entered her gas card PIN—something required for the transaction to process. That's when she asked the employee a clarifying question: Had he accidentally applied someone else's prepayment to her pump? His response: 'Maybe I did, maybe I didn't.' By that point, she'd already pumped the full $20. The attendant told her she needed to come inside and pay for it. But she pushed back, arguing that the mix-up wasn't her fault. 'It was a total accident,' she says. 'You screwed up.' What Did She Do About the Money? She describes standing there for a moment, angry and unsure of what to do next. Then, she noticed a young man nearby leaning against his car, clearly waiting. She asked if he was the one who prepaid, and when he confirmed he probably was, she apologized and handed him $20 to cover the gas. 'He like didn't want to take my money,' she says. 'But I just—I'm not going to take $20 from you.' The situation resolved without further incident, but the woman still had questions. Was it her responsibility to fix a mistake made by the attendant? Should she have gone inside and paid the gas station directly, or was reimbursing the customer the right move? She says she felt bad about how things played out, but also feels like the attendant could've handled it differently. 'Am I the jerk here?' she asks at the end of the video. Whose Fault Is It? A gas station shared in a blog that once payment is registered for a pump, the transaction is considered complete, even if the customer never fueled up. As they put it, when someone pre-pays inside and forgets their pump, and then another person uses it, the second person is seen as the one who received the gas, and the station won't usually reset the transaction. A legal advice forum echoes this, stating that even if the attendant mistakenly assigns payment to the wrong pump, the person who actually fuels may still be held responsible for payment. Refusing to pay could be viewed as theft, regardless of where the error originated. Commenters React 'I don't think you are. You made it right with the boy and the employee shouldn't have treated you that way,' a top comment read. 'The employee completely mishandled the situation and should have accepted responsibility for his mistake, corrected it, and apologized,' a person said. 'He works in a gas station. Can't really expect him to use the queen's English and offer you tea and crumpets as an apology,' another wrote. Motor1 reached out to Miller for comment via email and TikTok direct message.

The agents and officers searched the property and allegedly found 14 IEDs inside O'Neal's home, as well as a woman hiding in a dryer, according to ABC News 9. O'Neal allegedly planned to detonate the devices when law enforcement arrived, according to detectives The affidavit claims that, if the bombs had gone off, they would have sent shrapnel flying 2,500 feet and would have put nine deputies and two women inside the house in serious danger. O'Neal is facing numerous charges, including 11 counts of attempted first-degree murder, 14 counts of prohibited weapons, and one count of possession of explosive components, according to the sheriff's office.

Steve Ross is the Polk County Sheriff, according the the outlet. In another rambling post from July 8, O'Neal allegedly made a post sharing his frustration with Polk County officials, his ex-wife, and various other people before saying he would die killing them all. "I will die killing you before I take comfort in life surrendering to your wishes," he allegedly wrote. "I consider it an honor to kill each of you and to give my life in the process of the battle against you." The sheriff's office said that O'Neal is currently being held at the Polk County Jail. No bond has been set at the time of this report.
