Sequoyah County District Attorney Jack Thorp says 50-year-old Stacy Lee Drake was charged Wednesday with the murder. Drake was previously charged with the June 18 shooting deaths of Tara Underwood and Taylor Sharp in Gans. An attorney for Drake declined comment Thursday. Tuscaloosa County, Alabama, Sheriff's Capt.

Donald Trump has recommitted to debating Vice President Kamala Harris after recently backing out. The Republican presidential nominee held a lengthy news conference Thursday in which he taunted his new rival, boasted of his crowd on Jan. 6, 2021, and lashed out at questions about the enthusiasm her campaign has been generating. As he addressed reporters at his Palm Beach, Florida, estate, ABC announced that Trump and Harris have agreed to a Sept. 10 presidential debate.
