SUMMARY: A Memorial Day celebration in Columbus turned tragic when a service dog named Joan was shot and killed. The Lowry family, Joan’s owners, shared that they were at a friend’s cookout when a man arrived, and his dog ran towards Joan. Initially, the dogs appeared to be playing, but gunshots followed, resulting in Joan’s death. The shooter claimed he felt threatened by Joan. Joan was a crucial support for Yan Lowry, who struggles with severe bipolar anxiety. Chief Joseph Doy confirmed the man’s arrest for discharging a firearm in city limits, though he later bailed out. The Lowry family seeks justice for Joan.

SUMMARY: The Mississippi Department of Health (MSDH) and city leaders inspected Chapel Ridge Apartments in Jackson due to poor living conditions and trash overflow. City Councilman Vernon Hartley is advocating for an emergency declaration to use city and state resources to address the issues. The apartments, considered private property, limit the city’s ability to intervene fully. Hartley hopes declaring it a public health hazard will enable cleanup efforts, such as providing dumpsters. The trash problem has persisted for almost a month, and a motion for a potential cleanup process will be introduced at the next city council meeting.
