SUMMARY: 16 WAPT's Madeleine Nolan covers a meeting involving Congressman Bennie Thompson and the NTSB discussing recent home explosions in South Jackson due to gas leaks. The NTSB found that Atmos Energy knew of the leaks but did not classify them as hazardous or repair them. They will release safety recommendations and determine the probable cause. Residents were encouraged to report gas leaks immediately and evacuate if necessary. Communication about reporting gas leaks needs to improve. The NTSB hopes to provide resources and information to the community and law enforcement to prevent similar incidents in the future.

SUMMARY: The family of George Robinson has rejected a settlement in a wrongful death lawsuit filed against the city of Jackson after the city violated their confidentiality agreement. They had initially agreed to settle for $17,000 due to the city's financial situation, but the family learned that the city had disclosed the settlement amount, violating their agreement. Robinson died in 2019 after an encounter with Jackson police officers Anthony Fox, Desmond Berry, and Lincoln Lampley. Fox was convicted of culpable negligence manslaughter in Robinson's death. The family is now apprehensive about the city and the mediation process.
