The Advocate's Top Headlines

with Kelly P. Kissel | Metro editor

Thanks for joining us to start the work week. We'll have more details later today about this weekend's shootings that left a woman and a state trooper dead. State Police at midday were conducting a news conference to discuss what went on.

Here are couple of stories to get you caught up to that: Here's on on the arrest of the suspect, and another one looking at the life of the trooper killed. We'll have more about the other victim soon. 

Charles Lussier has a story this morning about a Baton Rouge teacher who had lied about a criminal conviction and was allowed to teach at an elementary school this fall. It turns out Robert Tucker (pronounced ro-bear two-care) had applied for a job with the local school district 25 times.

And ICYMI, James Finn looked at a rap beef in Tangipahoa Parish that has left two people dead. 

Be sure to check back later for updates.
