Break 1: MOG



STORY 1:Gwinnett-native Quavo, Vice-President Kamala Harris will discuss gun violence at summit next week

On Tuesday, Quavo, of the rap group Migos, will join Vice-President Kamala Harris in Atlanta to discuss gun violence as part of the inaugural Rocket Foundation summit, commemorating what would have been his late uncle Takeoff's 30th birthday. Takeoff, whose real name was Kirshnik Khari Ball, was tragically killed in 2022 in Houston, Texas, with Quavo present during the incident. The Rocket Foundation, established in 2022, aims to honor Takeoff's memory and combat gun violence, emphasizing his innocence as a bystander in the shooting. The summit will also feature the distribution of $10,000 grants to 10 organizations working to end gun violence in metro Atlanta.

STORY 2:Gwinnett Bus Hijacker Took Gun Used in Incident from Another Passenger

Joseph Grier, a Stone Mountain man, faces numerous charges, including murder, after hijacking a Ride Gwinnett bus in Atlanta. He's charged with 32 crimes, including hijacking, assault, and kidnapping. Grier allegedly shot and killed passenger Earnest Byrd Jr. during the incident. Police report Grier disarmed a citizen on the bus, leading to the tragedy. The hijacking resulted in a chaotic police chase spanning multiple counties. Mental health issues may have played a role, as Grier claimed to have bipolar disorder. Authorities are investigating the incident, which unfolded after a reported fight on the bus. Grier has a history of criminal offenses, including prior arrests. The bus, part of Ride Gwinnett's commuter service, was intercepted by law enforcement, and Grier was apprehended. The investigation continues, with passengers providing crucial information.

STORY 3:Composting Partnership in Gwinnett Schools Keeps Food Waste Out of Landfills

Third-grader Maya Terrazas from Baggett Elementary School has been composting at home for a year, and recently, she joined the school's Compost Connectors group, which diverts food waste from lunches to make compost for gardens. The program, part of a partnership between the Food Well Alliance and local schools, educates students on sustainability. Baggett, along with other Gwinnett schools, saw over 2,700 pounds of food waste diverted to composting. Through hands-on involvement, students learn about science and environmental issues like pollution. The initiative extends beyond school, inspiring students like Georgia Molina to compost at home. It's a practical, educational approach to fostering eco-consciousness in young minds.

Break 3: INGLES 3



STORY 6: Persistence Is Key in Ridding Yourself of Fire Ants

Dealing with fire ants can be a challenge according to Eric Marlowe. As his family found out when their toddler encountered them firsthand. While fire ants may prey on certain pests, they're generally unwelcome guests in our yards. Chemical treatments, like baits and pesticidal dusts, can be effective but require careful application and consideration of environmental impact. Frequent mowing can disrupt their colonies, encouraging relocation. Additionally, encouraging competition from other ant species may help control fire ant populations. Proper identification and persistence are key in managing these formidable pests, whose sting packs a serious punch.

STORY 7:Ex-Cop Convicted of Kidnapping, Murdering Norcross Teen

Former Doraville Police Officer Miles Bryant has been sentenced to life in prison without parole for the kidnapping and murder of 16-year-old Susana Morales from Norcross nearly two years ago. A jury found Bryant guilty of malice murder, felony murder, kidnapping, and false report of a crime charges, though he was acquitted of attempted rape. Morales' sister expressed gratitude for the verdict, acknowledging that nothing can bring Susana back. Judge Tamela Adkins imposed the life sentence, emphasizing the severity of Bryant's actions, especially given his former law enforcement role. Bryant apologized to Morales' family before sentencing. The investigation relied on evidence including cell phone data and the recovery of Bryant's handgun near Morales' remains.

We’ll have final thoughts after this.

Break 1: MOG



STORY 1:Police investigating murder of woman shot at south Gwinnett shopping center

A woman was fatally shot Saturday night at a shopping center in Snellville. Gwinnett Police officers responded to the incident at 3541 Stone Mountain Highway around 7:30 p.m. and found the suspect being subdued by witnesses. The suspect was arrested, and the victim was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities have not released the identities of those involved or a motive, but it may be domestic-related. The suspect is being questioned. Police urge anyone with information to contact detectives or Crime Stoppers, referencing Case No. 24-0042372.

STORY 2:New Lawsuits Filed to stop Mulberry city council elections

Stephen Hughes is trying to stop the new city of Mulberry's council elections following his unsuccessful attempt to block the city's creation. He has filed lawsuits against Gwinnett County and its elections board, arguing that Senate Bill 333, which established the referendum, violates the Georgia Constitution. The lawsuits aim to halt the November 5 council elections. If successful, a judge's ruling could prevent Mulberry from becoming Gwinnett County's 17th city on January 1, 2025. Mulberry supporters argue the lawsuits are driven by developers opposed to the city's formation, while Hughes challenges the bill's provisions on taxation and city services.

STORY 3:Kemp heading to Korea on trade mission

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and First Lady Marty Kemp are leading a trade mission to South Korea with state legislators and representatives from various state departments. The trip, focused on strengthening existing business relationships, will include meetings with executives from Hyundai, Kia, CJ Foodville, LG, SK, and Hanwha Qcells, many of which are part of Georgia’s growing electric vehicle industry. The mission aims to reinforce partnerships that bring investments and jobs to Georgia, emphasizing the importance of connectivity and open communication for economic progress.

Funded by the Operation Round Up program, the Foundation has given over $20.6 million to local communities since 2005. Applications for grants are open to individuals and organizations in the 10 counties served by Jackson EMC.

STORY 5:Two Gwinnett Schools Name New Principals

Gwinnett County's school board has appointed new principals for Creekland Middle School and Duluth High School. Tyese M. Scott, former principal of McKendree Elementary School, will replace the retiring Kimberly Gillette at Creekland Middle. Cynthia "Cindy" A. Kinchen, previously principal at Duluth Middle School, will take over from Eric Davidson, who has been promoted, at Duluth High.

STORY 4:Gwinnett County Police are getting a new headquarters

Gwinnett County officials have approved a $5.8 million contract with Precision Planning Inc. to design and provide construction administration services for a new Gwinnett Police Department Headquarters facility. The current headquarters, built in 1977 and expanded in 1988, no longer meets the department's needs. The new facility, expected to be completed in 2026, will consolidate off-site police teams and include a parking deck. The site, located at 800 Hi Hope Road, will replace the existing headquarters and E911 facilities. Funding for the project comes from the 2023 SPLOST Program.

STORY 5:Moderna Announces Good Results From Trial of Combo COVID/Flu Vaccine

Moderna has announced positive results from trials of its experimental mRNA-1083 vaccine, which targets both COVID-19 and influenza. The vaccine showed promising immune responses in older adults, equal to current vaccines targeting either flu or COVID-19. While not ready for this flu season, the vaccine could provide more convenient immunization options and improve compliance. It combines components from Moderna's seasonal influenza vaccine candidate and next-generation COVID-19 vaccine candidate. Safety profiles appear similar to single-virus vaccines. The potential challenge lies in encouraging vaccine-weary Americans to embrace the dual-purpose vaccine.

STORY 7:Burt Jones: Economic worries will help Trump win back presidency

During a speech at the Georgia Press Association’s annual conference, Lt. Gov. Burt Jones forecasted that inflation would bolster support for former President Donald Trump's potential 2024 White House bid. Jones emphasized that while the 2020 election was driven by personality, the upcoming election will focus on economic issues. He pointed to rising gasoline prices and other inflation-related concerns under President Joe Biden's administration. Jones highlighted the importance of the economy in recent polling data, with 29% of respondents prioritizing it over other issues. Additionally, he commended the General Assembly for passing bills addressing private-school vouchers and reforming Georgia's Certificate of Need process for healthcare facilities.

We’ll have final thoughts after this.
