Pretty much the same with the slug, but I thought I’d use an innocuous one for this to be sure I don’t signal what’s to come in any way.

(Note: the first sentence was corrected after publication to make it clear which man was hospitalized.) Breaking it Down (RC/Lansing State Journal) …Let me guess: Ruis was brain damaged from having to think about breathing through a mask. “She had to use deadly force” to save her own life, said Sheriff Tom Reich. The shooting was clearly recorded both by the deputy’s body camera, and a security camera at a house. The deputy, who has not been named, barely escaped injury. Sean Ernest Ruis, 43, a state employee, died in surgery later. The deputy, who is a 22-year veteran, was able to rack the slide to get the weapon cleared, and opened fire again: it took 10 shots to stop the man - and he still wasn’t killed. He was still able to grab her gun, but she kept him from taking it. The deputy backed away and ordered that he drop his weapons, but the man kept charging and she opened fire. The suspect got out of his car, slowly walked toward the deputy, and then rushed her holding two knives in one hand, and a screwdriver in the other. ![]() A few miles away, an Eaton County Sheriff’s deputy spotted the car and pulled him over. ![]() The assailant ran, and store employees were able to describe him and his vehicle to police.

Other popular topics of the Upper Voltan stamps include international agendas, awareness issues, former presidents, and heritage and culture.

The country’s name was inscribed either “REPUBLIC DE HAUTE-VOLTA” or “ REPUBLIC DE HAUTE VOLTA.” That year, the government also issued more animal mask stamps, a commemorative issue for the first president, Maurice Yaméogo, and two 25-Franc stamps celebrating the anniversaries of groups dedicated to technical and economic cooperation between African countries.

Soon after, Upper Volta established its postal system, and it released its first stamps of the republic in 1959, bearing “ REPUBLIQUE DE HAUTE-VOLTA.” The first issue was a 25 Francs stamp featuring a large portrait of Daniel Ouezzin Coulibaly, the former colony’s leader.
