2 workers killed in Tenn. post office shooting
HENNING, Tenn. – Two women working at a rural West Tennessee post office were shot and killed Monday during a possible robbery attempt, authorities said.
The shooting happened Monday morning at the post office in Henning, the hometown of "Roots" author Alex Haley, the Lauderdale County Sheriff's Department told The Associated Press. Officers were searching for a maroon Chevrolet Malibu with two men inside, and no arrests have been made.
The post office, which sits between a self-service car wash and a coin-operated laundry called "Mom's" in this town of about 1,200 people, often has residents coming in to pick up their mail. Home delivery isn't provided in Henning, some 45 miles northeast of Memphis.
Around midday, plainclothes investigators were scanning the area along a railroad track that sits behind the post office. Lines of yellow police tape kept people away from the building as a crowd gathered nearby, some sitting in chairs, waiting for more information about what happened.
Crime scene investigation trucks were parked outside, including one from the Tennessee Department of Investigation.
Ella Holloway, who lives within walking distance of the post office, said she knew one of the women killed. Holloway said she would be greeted by the woman's smile when she went to the post office to buy stamps.
"She was a real nice person," Holloway said.

Guns don't kill people do!
Get it through your liberal skull.
Stop, in the name of love!
You better buy a bullet-proof vest Gordon. It ain't gonna get any better.
Yep, guns don't kill people, but Palin loves them, along with shooting wolves from helicopters. But, she turned into a hypocrite when a young man interested in her daughter mailed her the receipts for his guns.
Look at the bully that she sponsored in Alaska. Had his fans marching with assault weapons and guns strapped to their legs, and handcuffed a reporter. So much for free speech
NEAR SIKESTON, MO (KFVS) - At the request of sheriff Rick Walter, Scott County homeowner Rick Hoskins removed a Halloween display in front of his home Wednesday that's the subject of much controversy in the Sikeston area.
The display, which featured a Ku Klux Klan figure alongside an effigy of a black man hanging from a noose, could be seen by drivers on Interstate 55.
Walter said his office had received several complaints about the display, so he contacted the office of prosecuting attorney Paul Boyd to see if it was within the sheriff's department's rights to remove it due to the problems it could cause.
Boyd encouraged Walter to discuss the matter with Hoskins and to ask Hoskins to take it down. Hoskins complied, but indicated he would contact his attorney with the intent of putting the decorations back up.
"There's been a bunch of people that's stopped by since I put them up," said Hoskins. "Said they want to shake my hand. They said they're glad to see a little white pride is still left in this country."
Hoskins also flies a Confederate flag in his front yard, and says he has for years.
"They're my Halloween decorations," Hoskins said. "I think they speak for themselves."
As for neighbors and others in the county, most found the decorations offensive and inappropriate.
"I thought we were passed that," said a woman from Sikeston. "I thought we were all friends here."
"I understand it's freedom of speech," said another woman. "But he needs to get over it."
Boo hoo!
Guns will be safe after Tuesday!
