• NGMC Gainesville cancels appointments as police investigate bomb threat (wsbtv.com) — Police are investigating a bomb threat near Northeast Georgia Medical Center Gainesville, prompting safety sweeps and the cancellation of all appointments at the hospital and Longstreet Clinic's Gainesville location today. Emergency care remains available through 911 while officers and K-9 units secure the area. Residents should monitor trusted local outlets for updates on when normal operations resume.
• Top PI Lawyers Gathered for Supreme Court Hearing on RICO Claim Against Case Runners (law.com) — Two Gainesville trial attorneys, Matt Cook and Shane Lazenby, were at the center of a closely watched Georgia Supreme Court hearing over whether "case runners" can face civil RICO claims. Top plaintiffs' lawyers from across the state packed the courtroom, arguing that shielding case runners could entrench unethical practices in personal injury litigation.
• Zach Braff Stars In New Crime Drama Based On True Maryland Story (thebaynet.com) — A new crime drama starring Zach Braff was filmed in Gainesville even though its story is set in Hagerstown, Maryland. Local readers may spot familiar streets when "Clean Hands" is released October 16 in select theaters and on digital platforms, after earlier festival and Maryland premieres.
