Hattiesburg names airport terminal after trailblazing Black pilot
SUMMARY: A ceremony was held at Bobby L. Chain Municipal Airport in Hattiesburg to honor Jessie Leroy Brown, whose name is now displayed on the terminal building. Brown, who would have turned 98, was the first Black man to complete the U.S. Navy’s Basic Flight Training Program, earning his wings in the late 1940s before being shot down during the Korean War at age 24. Hattiesburg officials, including Mayor Toby Barker, emphasized Brown’s legacy as a pilot and civil rights trailblazer, aspiring to embody his vision and perseverance in the airport’s future development.

SUMMARY: The IRS announces special tax benefits for U.S. Armed Forces members and their families. Key benefits include tax-free combat pay, extensions for filing taxes for those in combat zones, and excludable Armed Forces dependency allotments. Low to moderate-income service members may qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), which could be up to $7,830 for 2024. Additionally, active-duty members can deduct unreimbursed relocation expenses from military orders and permanent changes of station. The IRS aims to provide comprehensive support to simplify the tax filing process for military personnel. More information is available on their website.

SUMMARY: An investigation is ongoing following an officer-involved shooting in McComb that resulted in one death. Officers responded to a report of a suspicious vehicle near 212 25th Street, where two individuals exited the vehicle. After one brandished a weapon, officers fired their weapons, killing the armed individual. A second suspect was taken into custody, while others in the vehicle fled. Law enforcement is searching for a 2016 Dodge Charger with Mississippi tag PJP357, last seen traveling west on Highway 98. The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation is handling the case, which will be reviewed by the attorney general’s office.
