SUMMARY: Hundreds are gathering at Grenada Lake for the 31st Thunder on Water Festival, which commenced today. The event includes a carnival, fireworks show, hot air balloon display, numerous vendors, and various lakeside activities like a kids’ fishing rodeo. The festival features 32 arts and crafts vendors and 16 food vendors, with the carnival night happening tonight. A key change this year is the fireworks display, now set to occur on the levee rather than across the lake. Attendees are advised to arrive early for parking. Further safety precautions will be discussed in upcoming news segments on WTV 9 at 5 and 6.

SUMMARY: The Jackson Police Department (JPD) has solved the two latest homicides, making three arrests within 24 hours, with a fourth pending. Police Chief Joseph Wade attributes the 80% solvability rate to a new focused approach that prioritizes witness statements, physical evidence, and technology. He emphasizes accountability for violent crimes, aided by new federal resources after Jackson was designated a public safety partnership city. While crime rates have declined, Wade stresses the importance of community involvement and judicial reform, advocating for stricter bail for violent offenders to bolster crime-fighting efforts.
