Later, a 911 call reported an armed man matching his description demanding money. He returned home, fled in a truck, and shot at an officer before crashing and fleeing into a carport. An officer shot him after he refused to drop his weapon. The suspect, hospitalized, faces multiple charges, including aggravated assault.

Federal judge strikes down some North Carolina abortion restrictions – NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
SUMMARY: A federal judge ruled to permanently block a North Carolina abortion law provision requiring doctors to document the pregnancy location before prescribing pills, deeming it too vague. This provision had been temporarily halted by U.S. District Judge Catherine Eagles last year. Eagles also reinstated a law mandating abortions after 12 weeks be performed in hospitals, citing legislators' claims of enhanced maternal health safety. Planned Parenthood argued it would increase procedure danger and cost. North Carolina's updated abortion laws largely remain, reducing access from 20 to 12 weeks. The state remains a key destination for out-of-state abortions. The ruling can be appealed.

Eyewitnesses found several garbage bags filled with potential stolen items outside the complex. In the Westbury neighborhood, Victoria Ma returned home to find her residence burglarized after losing power due to the hurricane. Brown was released on a $10,000 bond and ordered to stay 200 feet away from the complex.
