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.

Worries arise that loan to Saint Augustine's University could threaten school's future
SUMMARY: St. Augustine’s University faces significant financial struggles, with millions in debt raising alarms among community members regarding its partnership with Gothic Ventures. Concerns center on the 24% interest loan agreement, which includes a 2% management fee and collateralizes campus properties. Critics fear that failure to repay could lead to the university’s closure. Gothic Ventures, noting the university’s financial challenges, expressed a willingness to discuss modifying the loan terms. Opponents demand changes like lowering the interest rate to 9% or enabling debt transfer to alleviate the strain on the historically Black college and secure its future.
A group of leaders are worried about a $7 million loan given to Saint Augustine’s University. The group includes religious leaders, social justice advocates and SAU alumni. Together, they spent Wednesday raising awareness about the loan and pushing for a solution to the school’s financial challenges.

Jurisdiction on 6 complaints split between state, counties | North Carolina
SUMMARY: The North Carolina State Board of Elections divided six Republican complaints concerning election integrity between itself and county boards. The disputes include issues with voting registration, overseas ballots, and allegations of felons voting, particularly in the close state Supreme Court race between Republican Jefferson Griffin and Democrat Allison Riggs. Griffin initially led by 9,851 votes but trailed by 722 votes post-election. The board reached a compromise to share jurisdiction, aiming to protect election integrity. Additionally, several recount requests from Republican candidates in legislative races are pending, with deadlines for legal briefs approaching.
