Jerry Greer, the son of country singer Craig Morgan,
was found dead in the waters of Kentucky Lake in Humphreys County,
Tennessee, officials confirmed late Monday.
The search for Greer had gone from rescue to
recovery, after the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency brought in
military-grade sonar to search Kentucky Lake.
Jerry Greer, 19, never resurfaced after a tubing accident there on Sunday afternoon.
In a statement via his publicist, Morgan said his
"family is grateful for everyone's support and prayers and requests
privacy during this difficult time."
The teen recently graduated from Dickson County High School in the Tennessee town where his father was raised.
Morgan, 51, is best known for his hit singles "That's What I Love About Sunday," "International Harvester" and "Bonfire
Maya Moore and her Minnesota Lynx teammates sported T-shirts in
support of the Black Lives Matter movement on Saturday night.
The Minneapolis Police Department’s motto is “To Protect with Courage, To Serve with Compassion.”
Except when it comes to Saturday night’s Minnesota Lynx game at the city’s Target Center, it seems.
Four Minneapolis police officers, working the game as
independently contracted security personnel, walked off the job before
this past weekend’s game against the Dallas Wings in response to members
of the Lynx wearing T-shirts in support of the Black Lives Matter
movement and calling for change in the wake of recent police shootings
that left two black men dead, according to the Star Tribune.
“If we take this time to see that this is a human
issue and speak out together, we can greatly decrease fear and create
change,” Lynx guard, 2014 WNBA MVP and three-time league champ Maya Moore told reporters
at a press conference players called prior to the game. “Tonight we
will be wearing shirts to honor and mourn the losses of precious
American citizens and to plea for change in all of us.”
There’s
no doubt the Minneapolis Police Department protects with courage and
serves with compassion the vast majority of the time, as most law
enforcement units do in the country, but in this particular instance, it
sure seems like some of them are running and hiding from the issue at
hand.
