First, today's weather:

A couple of thunderstorms. High: 86 Low: 71.

Here are the top three stories in Buckhead today:

  1. MTV's reality show spinoff titled "Buckhead Shore" premiered on Thursday night. The show follows the personal lives of a group of friends at the Buckhead Shore - often referred to as the "Beverly Hills of the South." The reality show is a spinoff of the channel's popular "Jersey Shore" show. (WSBTV)
  2. Morgan County residents have filed a legal complaint with the County's Superior Court targeting Rivian. The focus of the complaint is the electric automaker's tax-exempt status. Rivian has been able to pocket $700 million in tax breaks over the last 25 years, according to the complaint. (Morgan County Citizen)
  3. A maintenance worker reportedly shot a man at Buckhead's luxury apartment building on Pharr Road on Friday. The man was allegedly trespassing on the Alexan Buckhead Village property around 7:00 a.m. The maintenance worker has not been identified, but she has been charged with aggravated assault and possession of a weapon during the commission of a felony by the Atlanta Police Department.
