Ole Miss Football released a statement:

“We are devastated to learn that Corey Adams, a freshman on the team, passed away last night in Cordova, Tennessee. While our program is trying to cope with this tragic loss, our thoughts are with his loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.”

KWAM listeners say they are disgusted that the policies of Democrats have turned the city and the suburbs into a third-world war zone.

“What is it going to take for someone to actually take the high crime level in our precious city seriously! The loss of so many lives and all crime is terribly out of control,” one listener wrote on KWAM’s Facebook page.

Another chimed in, “Memphis has become a war zone. National guard and curfews now.”
