By Ben Dooley, The New York TimesINDEPENDENCE, Mo. — Christopher Hixon, a 27-year veteran of the Navy who served in the Persian Gulf, trained with government ammunition that typically had a distinctive “LC” marking on its brass casings.In 2018, Hixon, then the athletic director at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, confronted a former student firing an AR-15-style gun. The semi-automatic rifle, modeled on a military weapon, was loaded with ammunition carrying the same “LC” stamp.Hixon took a bullet in a thigh. Two more hit him in the chest. In the bloodstained hallway where he died, investigators found a brass casing. And another. By the end of their search, they had collected 84 from across the school — each marked “LC.”The initials stand for the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant. Built during World War II, the federal site, in Independence, Missouri, has made nearly all the rifle cartridges used by the U.S. military since it pulled out of Vietnam....

Then from the 5-yard line, with McCaffrey split right, Darnold’s pass was broken up by Williams.The NFL’s leading rusher wi...

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A bonanza of big plays made for an emphatic end Sunday to the 49ers’ losing streak.Their embattled defense dominated the NFL’s hottest team, Brock Purdy directed an explosive-play offense, and the 49ers prevailed 27-3 over the host Jaguars.Playing before a bipartisan crowd and under a chilly layer of fog, the 49ers (6-3) snapped their three-game skid without any fear of the fourth-quarter follies that previously derailed them.The Jaguars (6-3) had won a NFL-best five in a row (and 11-of-13 regular-season games dating to last season) before getting completely overwhelmed and committing four turnovers.This post-bye romp showcased the 49ers’ all-around talents last seen when they improved to 5-0 with a 42-10 win over the Dallas Cowboys.
