STORY 1:Teen Charged with Murder of Man In Lilburn Area Subdivision

The Gwinnett County Police Department arrested 16-year-old Ryan Abreu for a shooting that left Terrence Weston, 28, dead late Saturday night in unincorporated Lilburn. The incident, deemed drug-related, occurred around 11:30 p.m. on the 3000 block of Betty Jean Court. Abreu faces charges including aggravated assault, felony murder, and firearm possession by a minor. He is charged as an adult and is currently in custody.

STORY 2:The Teen Driver Facing Charges in The Death of a 4-Year-Old Is Out of Jail

Jacob Johnston, an 18-year-old driver, was charged with second-degree vehicular homicide and reckless conduct for the death of 4-year-old Abigail Hernandez, who was struck while walking with her family in the Mall of Georgia's parking lot on March 10. Johnston was booked into the Gwinnett County Detention Center on Friday and released 16 hours later on a $5,900 bond. Although police initially deemed the incident accidental, the District Attorney’s Office decided to press charges. Hernandez's father and sister survived the accident. A court hearing for Johnston has not yet been scheduled.

This year, they introduced the Arts Micro Grant for Gwinnett County Public Schools, granting over $25,000 to 17 schools.

STORY 6:Early menopause linked to breast cancer in women

Women who experience menopause before 40 face heightened risks of breast and ovarian cancer, according to a new American study. The research suggests relatives of these women also have increased cancer risks, including breast, prostate, and colon cancers. Led by Dr. Corrine Welt from the University of Utah Health, the study focused on women with primary ovarian insufficiency and their relatives. It found that women with early menopause had double the risk of breast cancer and almost quadruple the risk of ovarian cancer. Relatives also faced elevated risks of various cancers. Dr. Welt emphasizes the importance of regular cancer screening for women with infertility or early menopause, especially if they have a family history of cancer.

STORY 7:Personalized flu shots closer after major breakthrough

Researchers have made a breakthrough in personalized flu vaccines by identifying biomarkers that gauge an individual's ability to resist infection. This discovery could revolutionize vaccination programs, allowing for tailored vaccine doses based on a person's immune response. The study, led by Dr. Nhan Nguyen, analyzed blood samples from 286 donors across multiple flu seasons. They found that current vaccine response assessments may not accurately predict immunity, especially for those with high pre-vaccination antibody levels. The identified biomarkers offer a more sophisticated approach to assessing vaccine effectiveness. The researchers aim to develop personalized flu vaccines and diagnostic tests based on these biomarkers, reducing costs and increasing protection against infection. The findings will be presented at the European Society of Human Genetics conference, signaling a significant advancement in personalized healthcare.

We’ll have final thoughts after this.
