Lightning
A Mantachie man was killed Wednesday afternoon after being struck by lightning.

Tim Edge, 37, was riding horses with his father when lightning struck him and his horse, according to Itawamba County Coroner Sheila Summerford.

Summerford said Edge's father had gone into the barn while Edge stayed outside. While in the barn, he heard a loud boom and that's when the lightning hit.

Both Edge and his horse were killed.

Edge leaves behind a wife, Lacie Wiygul Edge, and a daughter, Selah.
