Sunrise Sunset 7:24 AM 5:30 PM State Briefs 2 killed, 1 wounded In Clayton shootout FOREST PARK (AP) - A gunman fired on a car early Friday, killing the pregnant driver and a male passenger and wounding another pas senger in the back seat. A witness told police the shooter, who was driving a green car, cut off a white Ford driven by a woman who was pregnant just after 2 a.m. The shooter fired on the woman and then the man in the front seat, killing both, authorities said. A woman in the back seat was shot in the hand but managed to run and hide in a nearby overgrown area and then called 911, Clayton County Police Sgt. Bruce Parks said. The shooting may have involved a stalking inci dent that began at a nearby adult entertainment club, Parks said. Investigators have a “good lead” on a sus pect, Parks said. The names of the two who were killed were not imme diately released but Parks said they were in their late teens or early 20s.

E-mail warns students of meth ATLANTA (AP) - Georgia college students will soon be getting an e-mail warning them of the dangers of meth amphetamine. The e-mail - which fea tures graphic photos of meth users with oozing sores and rotting teeth - will be sent to the 260,000 Georgia college students at the state’s 35 schools in the coming days. The initiative was announced at a state Capitol news con ference on Thursday by U.S. Attorney David Nahmias and other state and federal law enforcement and educa tion officials. “It’s an ugly, painful way to go,” the e-mail says. Law enforcement offi cials stressed that meth is a highly addictive drug and students who might use it to stay awake to study for exams or heighten sexual performance are in for a long recovery program down the road. 3A 00041344
