Founders of DC’s Corner Water tell how students inspired them | NBC4 Washington
SUMMARY: Jerome Nesbit and Ronnie Webb, founders of Corner Water, were inspired to create DC’s official water bottle while teaching sustainability to students in Ward 8. They identified a gap in access to high-quality water options during a food justice assignment. Established in 2021, Corner Water sources its product from a local Virginia spring, emphasizing freshness. In 2023, they rebranded their bottles in aluminum and featured a Metro map design, aligning with DC’s culture. They’ve also become the preferred water for the National Cherry Blossom Festival, recently launching themed bottles and hosting river cleanups with local students to promote health and environmental awareness.
Corner Water bills itself as D.C.’s official water bottle, with cherry blossoms and the Metro map printed on the labels. The founders told News4’s Juliana Valencia how Ward 7 and Ward 8 students inspired them.

Man accused of killing Minnesota lawmaker arrested after ‘largest manhunt in state history’
SUMMARY: Vance Boelter was arrested near his farm in Green Isle, Minnesota, ending what authorities call the largest manhunt in state history. He is accused of killing former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, and separately shooting State Senator John Hoffman and his wife. Police discovered a list of potential targets, including Democratic lawmakers and abortion rights advocates. The attacks highlight a rising trend of threats against elected officials. No motive has been released. A memorial for the Hortmans grows at the state capitol, and senators are set to receive a bipartisan security briefing amid renewed safety concerns.
57-year-old Vance Boelter has been arrested alive in a field near his home in Sibley County, where the search concentrated Sunday.

Flood watch remains in effect; more scattered storms with potential for torrential downpours
SUMMARY: A flood watch remains in effect through tonight for much of the area, with potential for torrential downpours, especially north and west of Richmond. Storms today may produce rainfall rates up to 2–3 inches per hour and gusts near 40 mph. Scattered storms are likely mid-to-late afternoon and into the evening. Sunday, Father’s Day, will be muggy with highs near 80 in Richmond, cooler to the north and east. A marginal risk of strong storms exists south of I-64. Rain chances ease midweek as temps rise to the 90s. A front Thursday brings brief relief before heat returns next weekend.
We’re tracking more scattered storms for Saturday. Showers and storms will increase from mid-afternoon into the evening. Due to the muggy air, torrential downpours will occur, and localized flooding is possible. Some spots could pick up multiple inches of rainfall. A few storms could have some gusts in excess of 40 mph.
