— HAYNEVILLE, Ala. (AP) — A new program aims to provide more health services in the Black Belt region of west Alabama.
Gov. Robert Bentley and other leaders will be in the Lowndes County town of Hayneville on Monday to promote a program called "Operation Alabama Black Belt."
The goal is to provide medical and dental services to residents of the impoverished, rural region.
Operation Alabama Black Belt begins May 1 in the towns of Hayneville, Demopolis and Selma. It will continue through May 10.
Two brothers were booked with 20 counts each of attempted second-degree murder in Sunday's shooting spree in which 19 people were struck by bullets and one was injured while fleeing. Authorities said three people remain in critical condition.
The largest jackpot ever was a $656 million Mega Millions prize won in March 2012. The prize was split three ways with winners in Illinois, Kansas and Maryland.
