Marine Base Shooting Victim Was Goofy, Churchgoing

Marine who was shot to death at a Virginia base was described as a warm-hearted country boy from the South who grew up in the Pentecostal church and even preached a few times. Jacob Wooley, 23, of Mississippi, was killed on Thursday by Sgt. Eusebio Lopez at the Marine Corps Base Quantico in northern Virginia, military officials said. Lopez also shot 19-year-old Lance Cpl. Sara Castromata to death before he killed himself. The three worked at a school that tests Marines who want to become officers, but officials have not released their relationship or a motive for the shooting. Their bodies were found in the Taylor Hall barracks, where those who work at the school live. The candidates for officer live elsewhere on base. Tiffany Wood said she met Wooley when they were teens. "I'm just so confused. Jacob had no enemies. He was such a sweetheart," she said.

With 1:15 remaining and Iowa State holding a one-point lead, Cyclones guard Will Clyburn drove to the basket, made contact with two Ohio State defenders, including Craft, and laid the ball off the glass for a tough basket. Buzzer-beater eliminates Iowa State: Buckeyes advance If the basket had counted, Iowa State would have been on the free throw line, up three points with 1:41 remaining.
