BULLETIN

Jackson is dealing with another shooting incident today after a victim was injured by multiple gunshots, while the community also mourns the loss of civil rights pioneer Rev. Ed King, a founder of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party. With temperatures reaching 90°F under overcast skies, it's a hot day ahead, though air quality remains moderate at 52 AQI—a good time to catch the Stars, Stripes and Symphony celebration if you're looking for something positive to do this Fourth of July weekend.
