Nick Tullier laid to rest as Baton Rouge mourns

BY MATTHEW ALBRIGHT | Staff writer​ ​ ​

Baton Rouge bid goodbye to Nick Tullier, the sheriff's deputy who died six years after he was shot multiple times during an ambush on law enforcement. It was clear from the hundreds of people who came to his memorial service, procession and funeral just how many people Tullier had inspired.

Here's how family and local leaders said goodbye. And these powerful photos show the grief expressed during the services.


If Roe v. Wade is overturned — and a leaked draft of a Supreme Court opinion suggests it could be soon — abortions would immediately become illegal in Louisiana.

Some state lawmakers don't want to stop there. One of this session's most controversial bills would charge women who have abortions with murder.

But several of the state's most prominent abortion groups, including prominent religious organizations, have said they can't support that bill, at least not as presently written. This story explains why. 


State education leaders abruptly decided to give 1,414 students who lived in areas hit by Hurricane Ida an exemption to some of the requirements to graduate high school. The argument is that the disruptions the hurricane caused shouldn't force them to stay in school another year.

But critics argue those requirements are important for making sure the students are ready for college, and lifting them is "not doing these students any favors."

This story explains the stakes, and the arguments on both sides.
