• Gas leak shuts down road in Lawrenceville, fire officials say (atlantanewsfirst.com) — A gas leak has shut down the 3100 block of Cruse Road NW in Lawrenceville, closing the stretch between Pleasant Hill Road and James Road while Atlanta Gas Light crews and Gwinnett fire officials work on repairs. Drivers in Lawrenceville should avoid the area and use alternate routes as crews respond to damage caused by a third-party contractor. Check for updates before heading that way.
   

• After their mother's death, family warns not every doctor has liability insurance. (11alive.com) — A Gwinnett County malpractice case tied to a Lawrenceville cosmetic clinic with allegedly unsafe, broken equipment has left a local family with only a fraction of a $52 million judgment after a mother's death. The investigation reveals many Georgia doctors lack required malpractice insurance and that state transparency rules have been poorly implemented, leaving patients to dig for coverage information or ask directly before procedures.
   

• 3 Georgia residents charged with voting as noncitizens (fox5atlanta.com) — A Lawrenceville man is among three Georgia residents federally charged with allegedly voting as noncitizens in recent elections, including 2024. Prosecutors say he used a false identity to cast a ballot, though all three defendants remain presumed innocent.
