SUMMARY: In Hancock County, communities like Bay St. Louis and Diamond Head are familiar, but five towns were displaced decades ago for the Stennis Space Center and its buffer zone. Established in 1961, Stennis required clearing nearly 140,000 acres, leading to the relocation of Santa Rosa, Westonia, Napoleon, Gainesville, and Logtown, impacting around 700 families. While some residents moved willingly, others resisted, exemplified by an elderly woman who insisted on moving her house. Despite the loss, many descendants now work at Stennis. A memorial event, “From Roots to Rockets,” is scheduled for November 2, honoring these lost communities and their families.

SUMMARY: The Attorney General’s office has concluded its investigation into a 2024 officer-involved shooting at the William Bell Apartments in Gulfport. Police responded to reports of screams inside an apartment and found Kendrall Tate actively stabbing another man. The Gulfport police officer involved shot Tate, who later died from his injuries. The AG’s investigation determined the use of force was justified. This finding comes alongside reviews of two other officer-involved shootings in Corinth and Meridian, which were also examined by Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s office.

After the investigation by the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation, the Attorney General’s Office said the use of force was justified.
