  1. Seven people were shot and killed in Phoenix over Memorial Day Weekend.

  2. City officials have approved an agreement with Concord Willshire Capital LLC for the $1 billion redevelopments of Metrocenter Mall. The project will see the nearly 50-year-old mall revitalized to include 2,800 multifamily units, 383,000 square feet of retail and commercial space, a park, and more. According to the agreement, Concord will build and pay for the construction of parking garages throughout the site and be reimbursed by the city. (ABC15 Arizona in Phoenix)
  3. A water main break flooded a downtown Phoenix roadway early yesterday morning. The water covered McKinley Street between 3rd and 4th streets, restricting traffic in the area. According to an official with the City of Phoenix Water Services, the pipe in question was a cast iron water main installed back in 1915. (12news.com KPNX)
