  2. An Evening of Remembrance was held to remember and honor the legacy of violent crime victims in Montgomery. The event was on Tuesday at True Divine Baptist Church and had over 100 people in attendance. Participants hope that the event will lead to getting criminals off the streets so they can not harm additional people. (WSFA12 News)
  3. An update on yesterday's story: the Montgomery Police Department has arrested a teenager on attempted murder charges after a Tuesday school stabbing. The incident occurred at Robert E. Lee High School, which went into a soft lockdown following the incident. It is still uncertain as to why the stabbing occurred but the department is conducting a full investigation.
