SUMMARY: A recent gunfight reminiscent of a cowboy showdown occurred outside Crabtree Valley Mall, according to Wake County’s district attorney. Jaquez Brown is in custody after allegedly shooting into a car occupied by a 13 and 15-year-old during a gang altercation. The DA reported over 20 vehicles were struck in this shootout among rival gangs on what was supposed to be a calm Saturday afternoon. Remarkably, no injuries were reported, but the incident put local residents at risk. Brown’s bond was increased from $20,000 to $200,000, and he is scheduled for his next court appearance on November 18.

A 24-year-old charged in a weekend shooting inside a Crabtree Valley Mall parking deck faced a judge for the first time on Monday.

In court, Wake County Assistant District Attorney Matt Lively said Jaquez Brown, 24, is facing charges for shooting into a car with a 13-year-old and a 15-year-old inside. At least 20 cars were hit by bullets, he said, although no one was injured.

Lively said the Saturday afternoon shooting in the Macy’s parking deck was the result of a fight between rival gangs, describing it as a “cowboy-style gunfight.”

“He put the safety of all the residents of Wake County at great risk basically with a cowboy-style gunfight at Crabtree mall,” Lively described in court.

A judge on Monday increased Brown’s bond to $200,000 plus electronic monitoring.

On Saturday around 1:35 p.m., Raleigh police officers responded to multiple shots fired in the parking deck behind the mall on Creedmoor Road.

Police told WRAL News there were no reported injuries.

SUMMARY: A scientist reflecting on the politicization of science warns that ideological influence undermines objectivity, breeds mistrust, and hampers public understanding. The FY2026 budget proposal cut NIH funding by about 40%, saving taxpayers $18 billion, but only 1.5% of the total federal budget, while increasing defense spending by 13%. These cuts severely impact states like North Carolina, where science drives $2.4 billion in tax revenue and thousands of jobs. The cuts target indirect costs vital for research infrastructure and diversity efforts, mistakenly seen as ideological rather than essential scientific practices. The author calls for unity to prioritize facts over politics and protect scientific progress for societal and economic health.

SUMMARY: High-tech homes with smart features are increasing in Raleigh and surrounding areas, helping homeowners save on utility bills. New constructions incorporate energy-saving technologies like app-controlled thermostats, LED lighting, tankless water heaters, and EV chargers. Homebuyers, especially millennials and Gen Z, now expect these features. Homes contribute about 20% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, so energy-efficient designs help reduce environmental impact. Pittsboro residents Mary Blevens and Ron Coelloo report monthly savings of $75 to $90 and lower gas bills due to these innovations. With hotter summers and rising energy costs, smart, energy-efficient homes are becoming essential.

More Triangle builders are making smart home, energy-saving tech standard. Buyers cut power bills up to 30% a month while shrinking their carbon footprint.
