JOHNS ISLAND, S.C. (AP) — A search for a man who investigators say shot two people, including a sheriff’s deputy, along the South Carolina coast stretched into a second day and led officials to close several schools Thursday.Deputies have been looking for Ernest Robert Burbage III on Johns Island since about noon Wednesday, when he started firing shots randomly, hitting a passenger in a passing vehicle, Charleston County Sheriff Kristin Graziano said.Burbage fired on members of a SWAT team as they got out of an armored vehicle late Wednesday and one of the shots struck the deputy who was driving it in the head, Graziano said.Charleston County Master Deputy James Gilbreath was alert and conscious at the hospital and would likely be released Thursday, the sheriff said.Deputies asked people on Johns Island to stay in their homes and report if they see something out of place in storage sheds, boats or other places someone could hide.Officers have not seen Burbage since early Thursday, b...Girl Scouts not immune to inflation: Cookie prices are going up

STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Finding motivation last week couldn’t have been easier for Oregon after all the pregame trash talking, logo stomping and hype that fueled the Ducks’ showdown against Colorado.The ninth-ranked Ducks (4-0, 1-0 Pac-12) used that to roll to a decisive victory over the Buffaloes but know they will need to dig deeper when they visit struggling Stanford (1-3, 0-2) in a considerably lower-profile game on Saturday.“This is a bring-your-own juice game,” coach Dan Lanning said. “It’s going to be a different atmosphere. But if you step on the grass and it means something to you, you’re going to step on there and try to perform to a certain level because you have pride in the game.”Oregon doesn’t have to look back too far to find out what can happen if intensity is lacking in any way. Two years ago, the Ducks came to Stanford with a 4-0 record and a No. 3 national ranking to face an unranked team off to a sluggish start and lost 31-24.Lanning...Crews cap gas leak in Little Havana
