STORY 1: John Berry Opens Christmas Tour Friday In Sugar Hill
For the 28th year, country music star John Berry is launching his "Christmas with John Berry" tour, starting on Nov. 29 at The Eagle Theatre in Sugar Hill, a traditional opening venue. The 14-date tour includes familiar cities and new stops like Cowan, Tennessee. Berry, an Atlanta native with a four-decade career, continues to thrive despite past health challenges. He enjoys the tour's camaraderie, performing a mix of his hits and Christmas classics. Berry plans to record a new album next year and remains active in music production and charity work.
STORY 2: Three Gwinnett schools are getting new principals. Here's what we know.
The Gwinnett County Board of Education has appointed new principals for Harmony Elementary, McClure Health Science High, and Twin Rivers Middle schools. Emily W. Nelson, previously Harmony's assistant principal, will replace retiring principal Jonathan Day. Gypsy Hernandez, former principal at Coleman Middle School, will take over at McClure, succeeding Nicole Mosley. Quincy L. Wallace, assistant principal at Lanier High School, will replace Betsy Kelly at Twin Rivers. These appointments, nominated by Superintendent Calvin Watts, bring experienced leaders with diverse educational backgrounds to their new roles.
STORY 3: Man Shot In Hand After Chase With Gwinnett County Police
In unincorporated Norcross, a Gwinnett County police officer shot a man during a foot chase on Friday night. The incident occurred near Dawson Boulevard and McDonough Drive NW when officers on a crime suppression detail attempted to speak with the man, who fled. During the chase, the man dropped a gun, ignored the officer's warning not to pick it up, and was shot in the hand. He later surrendered and was hospitalized. The officer was unharmed. The investigation is ongoing, and police are seeking information from the public, with Crime Stoppers offering a reward for tips leading to an arrest.
