Lawyers Questions Deadly Muscle Shoals Police Shooting | Sept. 26, 2024 | News 19 at 6 p.m.
SUMMARY: In Muscle Shoals, a deadly officer-involved shooting occurred involving Ronald Parrish, who had dementia. His family contacted police for medical assistance during an erratic episode when he was seen with a steak knife. According to his attorney, Parrish was uncooperative upon officers‘ arrival, and despite repeated requests to drop the knife, he charged at them. The police stated that they used a Taser twice but still felt compelled to shoot him. Concerns have emerged about law enforcement’s training regarding mental health issues, as it may contribute to excessive use of force in such situations.
An Attorney for the man killed by Muscle Shoals Police is speaking out.

Congressional Committee Moves Forward with Nuclear Power Proposal | Sept. 26, 2024 | News 19 at 6 p.
SUMMARY: A new bill, HR 9710, introduced by Congressman Dale Strong, aims to advance nuclear power in the U.S. and has passed favorably through the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology. It calls for the U.S. Department of Energy to build and demonstrate small modular reactors by fiscal year 2034 to meet the growing energy demand. One proposed reactor may be established at the Bellefonte Nuclear Plant site in Jackson County, Alabama, which has been unused since the 1980s after an abandoned construction project. This initiative could revitalize the site using American-made technology and address energy needs.
A new bill moving through congress could lead to a new future for the Bellefonte nuclear plant site in Jackson County.
