A look inside Louisville Metro Police Department's SWAT training
SUMMARY: The Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD) SWAT team is increasingly deployed to crime scenes as part of a strategy to reduce violence. Andrea Turner provides an inside look at their weekly training sessions, highlighting their rigorous preparation for high-risk situations such as standoffs and arrests. Officers train extensively, mastering skills essential for operating specialized equipment like the BearCat armored vehicle. To join SWAT, applicants must have three years of service and complete a physical test followed by a year of probation. Contrary to common belief, their primary goal is to de-escalate situations and encourage peaceful resolutions.

Ohio river finally drops below flood stage Sunday
SUMMARY: The Ohio River is finally receding after weeks of flooding, with levels expected to drop below flood stage by Sunday. The river crested at 36.6 feet on Wednesday but has since dropped to 32.4 feet. Despite some areas, like the Great Lawn, still being submerged, the water should continue to recede by early next week. This weekend will bring sunny weather with temperatures in the upper 50s to low 60s on Saturday and near 70 on Sunday. While conditions improve, chilly temperatures overnight may cause frost, and allergy sufferers should prepare for worsening tree pollen levels.

WLKY Investigates: Judge calls decision not to renew Baxter 942’s liquor license ‘unreasonable’
SUMMARY: Baxter’s 942 bar, closed for five months after its liquor license was not renewed, could soon reopen following a judge’s recommendation to restore the license. The closure followed community complaints about noise and violence, including shootings near the bar, although not on its property. The judge ruled that denying the license based on third-party criminal activity was unreasonable. Despite the ruling, local neighbors, especially those at a nearby dog park, oppose the bar’s reopening. Louisville Metro ABC has 15 days to file for an exception, with the final decision resting with a three-judge panel.
