GRAPHIC=Shooting State Police are investigating a

shooting that claimed the life of one
of their own.

It happened shortly after two
this afternoon on Route 649 in Clarke
County.

Police say the trooper responded
to a single-vehicle accident involving
a pickup truck.

But when the truck was being
moved, police say a firearm inside it
went off -- hitting the trooper in the
chest.

He later died at the hospital.

Both people inside the truck were
arrested on alcohol-related charges.

Authorities are NOT releasing the
trooper's name until his family is
notified.

It broke out last night only
hours after another fire at a Methodist

The fire began in a warehouse

The cause of the fires has not

Five *Mardi Gras* parades rolled

untouched by Hurricane Katrina.

They were the first of the major
parades, which will continue through

Officials decided to allow a

despite the widespread destruction
caused by Katrina.

The only time the city has
cancelled Mardi Gras was during World
