SUMMARY: During the trial of Jordan Cummins, accused of killing two individuals near the 2023 St. Paddy's Day parade route by firing randomly into the crowd, the judge barred Cummins' mother from the courthouse after she was caught discussing witness testimonies on a call. Cummins and his girlfriend, Jenny Lukens, were involved in a physical altercation seen in newly released videos. Witnesses approached to intervene, leading Cummins to shoot, killing Joshua Spann and Auden Jubilee Simpkins. The trial risks a mistrial after the media mistakenly captured an image of the jury, complicating proceedings.

Jordan Cummins is on trial for a shooting that killed two people along the route of the 2023 Hal's St. Paddy's Parade.

SUMMARY: The CDC estimates 1 in 36 children and 1 in 45 adults have autism, but research primarily represents a narrow demographic. Researchers in Jackson, Mississippi, are engaging the African-American community to participate in studies aimed at diversifying data. The University of Mississippi Medical Center is one of five institutions focused on expanding autism knowledge in underrepresented communities. They stress that diverse participation can lead to better-tailored interventions and supports. A study requires a simple saliva test and seeks to break down stigmas and barriers, such as mistrust, by building connections and increasing diversity for better health outcomes. Participation details can be found on sparkforautism.org.

Autism study to broaden research base.
