Man charged for shooting, killing, mother of six

Monday, 01 April 2013 17:12 Published in Local News

Terrance Duff now faces three charges, including murder in the first degree, for allegedly shooting and killing 32-year-old Antoinetta Davis. 

<br><br>

 Davis was mother to six kids and police say Duff was her ex-boyfriend and father of the children.

<br><br>

   The shooting happened just before 2 a.m. Monday. Vaughn says the children ran to the Jennings Police Station and said their mother had been injured.

<br><br>

   The ages of the children were not released but Vaughn says all are pre-teens.

<br><br>

   The suspect turned himself in around 5 a.m. at the county's Justice Services office in Clayton.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - Thousands of people are protesting Patriot Coal Corp.'s bankruptcy reorganization plan in downtown Charleston, West Virginia.

<br><br>

   The protesters gathered at the Charleston Civic Center for a rally organized by the United Mine Workers of America. They heard from speakers including Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin and U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin before walking a short distance to protest outside Patriot Coal's West Virginia offices at Laidley Tower.

<br><br>

   Last week, the House of Delegates called for bankrupt Patriot Coal to honor its pension and benefit commitments to some 23,000 retired miners and their dependents.

<br><br>

   St. Louis-based Patriot is trying shed some of that $1.6 billion liability as it restructures. Patriot contends the move is needed to save 4,000 existing jobs.

 

Even more lanes will be closed on the Blanchette Bridge Tuesday.

<br><br>

Crews close one Westbound lane and start pothole repair at 9 AM Tuesday. After they finish the Westbound work, they will close one eastbound lane for pavement repairs. All work is expected to be done by noon. The additional lane closures, will leave only two lanes open to drivers.
