SUMMARY: With the 4th of July approaching, coastal cities like Diamond Head and Long Beach have already begun celebrations with professional fireworks shows. If you plan to have your own fireworks at home, Fire Marshals provide important safety advice: never let small children use fireworks unattended, avoid using fireworks under the influence of drugs or alcohol, never point fireworks at people, and be mindful of where debris falls to prevent fires in dry or wooded areas. Additionally, ensure you are aware of local rules and regulations regarding fireworks before beginning your festivities.

As you are out grabbing fireworks and prepping for the fun, fire marshals warn of a few things you need to keep in mind.

SUMMARY: In Nashville, a woman expressed her fear in court that her abuser would kill her if released. Despite multiple violent incidents, he was released without informing her or placing a GPS monitor on him. Shortly after, he went missing, prompting the woman's father, Lance, to warn her. Lauren, the victim, stopped responding to messages, and her Life 360 tracker was turned off. Her body was later found brutally beaten in her car at a cemetery. Lance condemned the criminal justice system for its failures. The abuser, Rivers, has a criminal history and is currently in jail on a $1 million bond.

Thursday, Lauren Johansen's mutilated body was discovered in the back seat of her car in Harrison County.
