Mystified driver finds fur in car's grille. Creature was still alive, FL cops say
A thick layer of fur found in the grille of a Buick proved to be a wild animal — and it was still alive, according to deputies in southwest Florida. The potentially dangerous discovery was made Thursday, July 17, at a busy intersection in Port Charlotte, the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office says. 'We responded to a call and found an animal had run out in front of a vehicle, got hit, and became stuck in the front portion of the bumper,' the sheriff's office said in a Facebook post. 'That animal turned out to be a coyote, which we appropriately named Wile E.' Coyotes weigh between 20 and 30 pounds and have been known to attack humans. Photos show two men wearing elbow-length gloves worked to remove the coyote. The sheriff's office didn't say if it tried to bite its rescuers. 'Wile E. needed medical attention (apparently anvils don't hurt, but vehicles do), so Wildlife Center of Southwest Florida Rescue and Transport was contacted, who came to get him,' the sheriff's office said. Two of the male coyote's legs were broken in the collision, but he 'is now safe in our care and expected to make a full recovery,' Southwest Florida Rescue reports. The department's July 21 Facebook post had more than 6,000 reactions and comments within a day, many wondering if the coyote was cooperative. 'So you can pull a whole coyote, with two (broken) legs but no tranquilizer, out of a car bumper and not get bit?' Kim Carlisle wrote. 'Don't try this at home!' the department responded.

Relatives, authorities ask for public's help with investigation of Ole Miss player's fatal shooting
MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Authorities on Monday asked for members of the public to provide surveillance footage and details from eyewitnesses as they investigate the fatal shooting of an Ole Miss freshman football player in a Memphis neighborhood after a pool party. Corey Adams, an 18-year-old defensive lineman from New Orleans, was found with a gunshot wound inside a vehicle at an intersection in the Memphis suburb of Cordova on Saturday night, said Anthony Buckner, chief deputy of the Shelby County Sheriff's Office. Adams died at the location of the shooting. Four other men who suffered gunshot wounds that were not life-threatening arrived at nearby hospitals in personal vehicles. Three of them had been released from the hospital as of Monday afternoon, Buckner said. The shooting happened after a pool party attended by about 100 people, including Adams, Buckner said during a news conference. About 40 rifle and pistol casings were found at the shooting scene. No arrests have been made. Buckner asked members of the public who may have information useful to investigators, including surveillance footage from video cameras at neighbors' homes, to come forward. 'We have far more questions right now than we have answers,' Buckner said. 'We know people saw something or heard something.' Adams, who played at Edna Carr High School in New Orleans, is listed on the Ole Miss football website as a 6-foot-4-inch, 235-pound defensive end. He had been one of the top defensive lineman recruits in the country. Adams' mother, who spoke at the news conference but declined to be named for fear of retribution, said Adams was a loving son and brother who had hopes of playing in the NFL. He had time off from practice and went to Memphis to enjoy himself, she said. Memphis is about 85 miles (135 kilometers) north of Oxford, Mississippi, where Ole Miss is located. The Edna Karr Cougars said in a Facebook post that 'words can't describe this type of pain.' 'Corey Adams was more than a football player! He was a friend, brother, son, student, and all around great young man,' the team stated. 'We never question God but this is one we just don't understand.'
