Homeless encampment removed in Tupelo
SUMMARY: Homelessness is a pressing issue in Tupelo, prompting city officials to dismantle a homeless encampment near downtown. Veronica Mahia reports on the situation, highlighting how city employees began removing belongings and relocating individuals. One woman who lived under a bridge for nearly a year expressed her concerns over conflicts among residents and police interventions. Volunteer efforts, such as those from Emanuel Church of God in Christ, aimed to support the displaced individuals with food. Critics argue that the city’s actions lack consideration for the homeless population’s immediate needs, as the removal coincides with cold weather and scarce resources.
The removal of a homeless encampment in Tupelo has some people upset.
SUMMARY: Tears and smiles filled the faces of loved ones as they awaited troops’ return at the Air National Guard. The Hailes family eagerly greeted Captain Brandon Hailes with bear hugs and a welcome home sign, celebrating his early return. They had delayed Christmas to make his homecoming even more special. Spencer Vandagriff, who had missed his father during his three-month overseas deployment with Operation Spartan Shield, was thrilled to have him back. The emotional reunion marked a sweet moment for families separated by military service, with loved ones expressing immense joy and relief upon their safe return.
