A Lafourche Parish sheriff’s deputy was killed Sunday, during a pursuit of a suspect. State Police Trooper Tom Gossen says it started early Sunday morning in Houma with a man running from a routine traffic stop. LPSO Sgt. Nick Pepper got involved when the chase crossed into Lafourche…:

CUT 06  (07)        “…the suspect.”

The unnamed suspect made a second getaway attempt; ramming into Pepper’s patrol unit and killing him. Once that man is out of the hospital, he faces serious charges.

Up once again go the prices of gas and diesel fuel. Regular gas is up over a dime in just one week. Louisiana AAA’s Don Redman says plan on gas going up about 30 more cents over the next month…:

LSU forward Angel Reese is making headlines not for her playing but for taunting Iowa star player Caitlin Clark in the final moments of the game. Reese waved her hand and pointed to her finger where her championship ring would go, a gesture that Clark herself has done on the basketball court. Reese called out the hypocrites…:

CUT 03(07)      “…say nothing.”

LSU Chancellor William Tate has chimed in on the Angel Reese flap. Defending his champion player, he said today, “If you have a problem with it, beat her. That’s all I have to say. If you can’t beat her, sit down.”
