SUMMARY: A frightening incident at a gas station in Indianapolis escalated over impatience at a pump, leading to a man pointing a gun at a woman. Kevin Edwards recorded the confrontation, during which verbal exchanges turned heated, including racial slurs. The man allegedly claimed the woman pointed a gun at him, which she denies.

SUMMARY: Tropical Storm Chantal is bringing heavy rain and flash flooding risks to North Carolina. The storm is moving onshore with strong bands producing 3 to 5 inches of rain, especially west of the Triangle area, causing saturated ground and flooding concerns. Winds near 40 mph with gusts up to 70 mph are easing but remain risky for downed trees. Along the coast, Wrightsville Beach faces tropical storm warnings, dangerous rip currents, rough surf, and red beach flags urging no swimming, despite some beachgoers remaining. Drivers are warned of wet, difficult road conditions. Emergency officials emphasize preparedness as the storm progresses.

Scattered showers and thunderstorms from Chantal’s outer bands continue to impact parts of inland North Carolina.

SUMMARY: Two separate overnight shootings occurred within one block and an hour of each other near Glenwood South. The first, near West Johnson Street, left one person shot in the leg, while the second, in a nearby parking deck, involved a victim shot multiple times. Both victims are expected to survive, and no arrests have been made yet. Locals expressed shock and concern, especially given the area’s heavy police presence. Meanwhile, in a separate incident at an apartment complex on Conifer Drive, police arrested 22-year-old Orleene Lopez Isizaguer for a critical shooting early morning, with court scheduled for Monday.

The search is still on for the suspects in both of these cases.

SUMMARY: Energy crews are preparing for Tropical Storm Chantal as it approaches the Carolinas. Duke Energy expects the worst impacts near the coast but advises central North Carolina to stay alert for heavy rain and wind that could cause scattered power outages and downed lines. Crews are ready to respond quickly and urge people to stay off roads and give space to utility workers for safety. Residents should prepare emergency kits, stay away from windows, and disconnect non-essential electrical devices to avoid overloads. Reporting outages promptly will help crews restore power efficiently. Safety remains the top priority.
