Arrest made in I-40 Shootings: 7 cars have been shot, 1 woman injured
SUMMARY: A significant development has occurred in a series of connected roadway shootings. Police arrested a suspect in a neighborhood near Tryon Road, following an intense scene with multiple officers, SWAT teams, and flashbangs. As officers investigated a home, it was reported that there are 12 victims associated with the shootings. Earlier, police had been hesitant to disclose details about the incidents, which involved random shots hitting vehicles. A young man was seen being taken into custody without resistance. Authorities aim to reassure the community amid ongoing safety concerns as they gather more information on the situation.
Raleigh police and SWAT teams on Thursday afternoon were blocking a Raleigh neighborhood, searching for the shooter after a series of shots fired into vehicles this week.
The most recent shooting occurred Thursday morning, when a single gunshot was fired into a driver’s car door close to North Carolina State University, according to Raleigh police, who have not linked Thursday’s incident with six other shootings in the area this week.

Two women killed and several children hurt in Johnston County crash
SUMMARY: Two women in their 20s died in a car crash in Johnson County, with six children aged under 12 also in the vehicle; one child is in critical condition. The single-car accident occurred at the intersection of Government and Jack roads in Clayton. Investigators report that the driver, speeding about 30 mph over the limit and running a stop sign, lost control, hitting a ditch and a tree before the Jeep Cherokee went airborne. None of the occupants were wearing seat belts, and while alcohol isn’t suspected, the area has a history of crashes.
Two women were killed and several children were hospitalized after an SUV crashed Saturday night in Johnston County.

5 On Your Side Restaurant ratings: Pure Vegan Cafe, Randy's Pizza and Chanello's Pizza

Pure Vegan Cafe in Durham received an 82, down from 91.5, for improper food storage, unclean equipment, and incorrect expiration dates. Randy’s Pizza in Morrisville was rated 86 (down from 94.5) due to employees failing to wash hands after handling personal items, inadequate food temperatures, and fly infestations. Chanello’s Pizza in Garner scored 88.5 (down from 91) after inspectors found expired ingredients, unclean baking trays, and a sticky fly ribbon above the prep sink.

Man sentenced in 2018 murder of 13-year-old Hania Aguilar tries twice to escape
SUMMARY: Robinson County Sheriff Bernes Wilkins reported heightened security during prisoner Michael McLen’s court hearing. McLen, who pled guilty to the kidnapping and murder of 13-year-old Hana Aguilar and was sentenced to life in prison, made two escape attempts. He first tried using a homemade handcuff key but was stopped by deputies. Returning to prison, McLen grabbed a deputy’s gun during a struggle before being subdued with pepper spray. Eyewitnesses noted his courtroom demeanor seemed insincere, raising questions about potential additional charges from the escape attempts.
Michael Ray McLellan admitted to kidnapping 13-year-old Hania Aguilar from her driveway and then killing her and disposing of her body. The crime happened in November 2018. On Friday, November 22, 2024, he was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Investigators say McLellan tried twice to escape from his prison guards — before and after the hearing.
