Man in Las Vegas Cybertruck explosion had gunshot wound to the head: sheriff
SUMMARY: In the last two hours, new details have emerged about an attack outside President-elect Donald Trump’s Las Vegas hotel. Authorities identified 37-year-old Matthew Livelsberger, a highly decorated Army soldier, as the person of interest. A Cybertruck caught fire and exploded, killing one and injuring seven. Livelsberger, who served in Afghanistan and Ukraine, had been on approved leave and died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound before the explosion. Investigators suspect the explosion was caused by fireworks or a bomb, unrelated to the vehicle itself. Tesla’s Elon Musk is cooperating with the FBI to aid the investigation.

DCS to build new juvenile justice facilities to ease bed shortage, improve care
SUMMARY: The Tennessee Department of Children’s Services (DCS) will build two new juvenile justice facilities—Woodland Hills in Nashville and John S. Wilder Hardware and Staff Secure Facilities in West Tennessee—to address bed shortages and improve youth care. Approved funding totals \$333.3 million. The new centers will increase bed capacity by about 35% and focus on rehabilitation, vocational training, and therapeutic services to steer youth away from drugs, gangs, and violence. The West Tennessee facility will include a “stepdown” program to help youth transition back to the community. Construction is expected to finish within a few years.

Concerns over school federal funding freeze
SUMMARY: A federal funding freeze affecting about $7 billion in education programs, including Title I, II, III, and adult literacy, has put many Middle Tennessee school districts on alert. The freeze, pending a U.S. Department of Education review, risks cuts that could lead to job losses and reductions in academic enrichment, college counseling, ESL teachers, and support for migrant and homeless students. Memphis faces eliminating around 200 positions. Rutherford and Robertson counties highlight concerns over millions in potential cuts impacting learning centers and professional development. The state could lose $120 million if cuts occur, though some remain cautiously optimistic this is temporary.
