A former high school band director shoots himself after deputies show up to his house to arrest him on additional counts of child molestation.

This is Halloween weekend, which can be a very spooky time on Louisiana’s roadways. Gregory Fischer with the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission says last year, almost 650 people were injured in crashes during the Halloween period, and some of those people did not survive their injuries.

It’s that time of year again – before you go to bed tomorrow night, go through your house and turn all of your clocks back one hour, because Daylight Saving Time ends at two Sunday morning.
