Here are the top stories in Huntsville today:

  1. The 12-year-old male that appeared to have shot himself accidentally has passed away from his injuries. No charges are expected from this event since it appears the shooting was accidental. Due to the victim's age, I will not be releasing any identifying information should it be released at a later point. (AL.com)
  2. The intersection of Pulaski Pike and Beaver Dam Rd./Monroe Rd. will be getting a traffic signal. Installation will be tomorrow (Wednesday, Nov. 14) starting around 9 a.m. if the weather allows. (WHNT News 19)
  3. Madison Hospital will be adding a new therapy dog to the staff next year! This new "dogter" will be part of the Huntsville Hospital Foundation's Canines for Coping program and is expected to arrive in the spring. (WHNT News 19)
