A 16-year-old awaits sentencing after pleading guilty this week to killing four people and injuring several others in a shooting at Apalachee High School nearly two years ago. 

There's more data center news in metro Atlanta, on the other side of the state and in Washington. 

We hear from people who turned out to see President Donald Trump this week when he spoke at a high school in Cobb County and dig into polling in the governor's race ahead of the November election. 

And we visit a metro Atlanta business that's found success making cars that look vintage but have all the trappings of a modern luxury automobile.

WABE's Week In Review

Trump's visit to Cobb County, data centers and cars that look classic but feel new

The Department of Homeland Security is asking a federal judge to pause a lawsuit filed by a Georgia city. The suit is trying to block an empty warehouse from being converted into an immigrant detention center. The candidates for Georgia Governor are weighing in on the use of automated license plate readers, like those made by Atlanta-based Flock Safety, just as Florida is ending its use on state highways. Plus, some Georgia businesses worry that costs may rise as President Donald Trump’s trade battle with Canada intensifies.

Georgia Power has agreed to new protections it says will shield ordinary customers from the costs of serving data centers. Critics of the utility are cautiously optimistic. And staying on the controversial facilities,  a movie production company in southwest DeKalb County is vying for community approval in a mission to pivot its business to build and operate a data center on its property. Plus, Georgia’s immigration detention centers have improved their inspection scores compared to last year, but accounts from people in detention do not match the scores. And an Augusta woman who spent more than a decade in prison is now back home after prosecutors heard testimony this week that she was convicted of a crime that never occurred.
