14 Displaced in Easter Sunday Fire

On Easter Sunday, a fire at the Upland Townhomes on Mableton Parkway in Mableton resulted in the displacement of 14 individuals. The incident occurred in the morning, with the exact time yet to be determined. Firefighting crews managed to limit the damage to three units. Among those affected was Patricia McGowan, who had planned a festive activity for the day but was forced to flee amidst smoke and confusion. 

***PATRICIA MCGOWAN***

The swift response from Cobb County Fire & Emergency Services, arriving within four minutes upon noticing a significant plume of smoke, prevented further devastation. Preliminary investigations suggest the fire might have originated from an unattended cooking or grease fire. Witnesses and neighbors recounted the urgent evacuations and the extensive efforts by firefighters to control the situation. The Red Cross is currently providing assistance to those displaced by the fire.

KSU offers counseling resources for affected students, recognizing the emotional toll of the tragedy.

STORY 4:Former Cobb Congressman Barr Elected NRA President

Former Cobb County congressman Bob Barr has been elected as the new president of the National Rifle Association, succeeding Charles Cotton. Barr, who previously served as a U.S. Attorney and was the 2008 presidential candidate for the Libertarian party, took office at the 2024 NRA convention in Dallas. His election comes amid increased turmoil for the NRA, including the resignation of former CEO Wayne LaPierre amidst allegations of corruption. Barr's term will last until next spring, with the possibility of serving a second term. His election follows a speech by former President Donald Trump at the convention, where he received an endorsement from the NRA.

STORY 5:Former Gov. Barnes Offers New Proposal for 114 Homes in South Cobb

Former Gov. Roy Barnes is seeking a settlement with Cobb County over zoning litigation to develop a subdivision on his farmland in Powder Springs. Initially denying a rezoning request for 114 homes, Barnes filed lawsuits alleging exclusionary zoning. The proposed settlement revises the plan to include 114 homes on 65 acres, with the rest as open space. Flood concerns from nearby residents persist, fearing increased flooding with densely packed houses. Barnes' attorney argues the plan addresses stormwater impacts. Residents prefer a more balanced approach like a recent 180-home proposal. The county will discuss the settlement at a zoning hearing.

Cobb Police Fatally Shoot Man Driving Stolen Truck

Cobb County Police Department officers fatally shot a man on Friday in Mableton while he was attempting to flee in a stolen truck, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI). The individual, identified as 40-year-old Clifford Jacoby Beck from Griffin, Georgia, was shot after police cornered the truck he was driving into a Chevron gas station parking lot at Old Floyd Road and Fontaine Road. Officers fired at the vehicle when Beck tried to drive out of the lot, hitting police cars in the process. No officers were injured. 

The truck and one police car caught fire, and Beck was later pulled from the vehicle and given medical aid. He was transported to a nearby hospital where he succumbed to his injuries. The Cobb County Medical Examiner’s Office will perform an autopsy. An independent investigation by the GBI is ongoing, with the case file to be reviewed by the Cobb County District Attorney’s Office.

'Bittersweet': Historic Marietta Rectory Razed

Saint Joseph Catholic Church has embarked on a significant yet bittersweet demolition project that involved tearing down its historic rectory in Marietta. Nearly two centuries of history are being torn down as the rectory undergoes demolition due to severe safety concerns.

Monsignor John Walsh highlighted that mold, asbestos, and lead had made the rectory unsafe for its residents and visitors. The damage, which dates back to Christmas Day 2022, was caused by a burst pipe that led to extensive water damage, forcing priests to relocate.

Despite efforts from Cobb Landmarks to preserve the historical Sugar Hill House portion, the church decided to demolish the entire rectory. Built in 1852 and used as a field hospital during the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain, the rectory holds deep historical significance.

Facing over $2 million in restoration costs, the church chose to build a new rectory for about $1.2 million instead. While the decision was difficult, Monsignor Walsh emphasized that safety was paramount.
