A county roadway in central Georgia resembles a scene out of the movie "Twister" after an apparent tornado dropped a house on a road Monday as a deadly severe storm system slammed the region, Fox News reported. At least 20 people were killed throughout the South as the storm system brought dozens of reported tornadoes, storm winds, large hail, and heavy rains. In Upson County, Georgia, an apparent tornado was strong enough to lift a house into the middle of the roadway. It was not immediately clear if anyone was in the house at the time of the storm or if anyone was injured. Photos from the scene show the house, mostly intact, sitting in the middle of Highway 74 about 45 miles west of Macon. In Murray County, fire chief Dewayne Bain told FOX5 that the storms claimed the lives of at least five people in Chatsworth. In Cartersville, officials said a 34-year-old man died after a large tree fell into the back of his home.

On February 25, 2020, around 10:09 p.m., Newton Patrol Division officers were traveling east on East 41st Street towards McKinley Avenue in a marked black and white police vehicle. The officers observed an individual, who was later identified as Corey Jackson, standing on the sidewalk at the southeast corner of the intersection. Without warning, Jackson pointed a handgun at the officers, while they were still seated in their police vehicle and fired multiple rounds at them. #LAPD

Both officers returned fire at Jackson, who fled on foot. After a perimeter was established, the area was searched by Metropolitan Division SWAT and K-9 personnel. Jackson was ultimately located hiding in the rear yard of a residence, approximately one block south from where the OIS occurred and was bitten by a Department K-9. A 9mm handgun was located in the same yard where Jackson was found.
Neither the officers nor Jackson were struck by gunfire during the incident. However, the officers' police vehicle sustained an impact to the driver's side front bumper.
Jackson was arrested and booked at 77th Street Jail for Attempt Murder of a Police Officer.

At least 31 people have been killed as dangerous thunderstorms and tornadoes rumbled through the Deep South on Easter Sunday into early Monday, forcing states to lift lockdown orders to allow locals to take shelter while practicing social distancing. There were over 40 reports of tornadoes as the storm spiraled in a destructive path from Texas and Arkansas across Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and into the Carolinas, damaging hundreds of homes and leaving 1.3million without power. In Mississippi officials said the tornadoes' threat to the community trumped that of COVID-19, forcing locals to flee their homes for sturdy shelters.

Death penalty states have been asked to hand over their stockpiles of drugs used in lethal injections to instead help save the lives of hundreds of patients admitted to intensive care units after contracting the coronavirus. Seven medical practitioners and experts addressed a letter to state correctional facility directors urging them to turn over their supplies of sedatives and paralytics to hospitals where they can be used for intubation and mechanical ventilation in critically ill COVID-19 patients. “Health care workers across the United States are facing unprecedented shortages of vital resources needed to battle COVID-19,” the letter said. The letter was sent out to the corrections departments in all states where capital punishment is legal, The Guardian reported. Not all states that allow capital punishment disclose if they stockpile medication for lethal injections. At least 19 states have execution procedures that involve sedatives and paralytics.
