Today's riddle: What are the two favorite words for a shark to hear? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Cobb & Douglas Public Health Offers Free Mosquito Larvicide Tablets (cobbcountycourier.com) — Smyrna residents can pick up free mosquito larvicide tablets at the Smyrna Public Health Center through October 30, helping reduce West Nile virus risk in local neighborhoods. Each Cobb or Douglas household can receive one six-tablet pack, meant for standing water that can't be drained. Officials still urge everyone to regularly empty outdoor containers to cut mosquito breeding.
2.

3. Father of suspect in Smyrna dismemberment case releases statement (fox5atlanta.com) — Smyrna police have upgraded charges against 18-year-old Kingston Bradley to malice murder after finding more remains of 26-year-old Shanteria Mosley, while his father publicly stresses his son's long-term mental health struggles and family cooperation.

4. DoorDash Driver Found Dismembered, Teen Arrested for Murder After Torso Discovered at Apartment Complex (sfl.media) — Smyrna residents are watching closely as police escalate charges against 18-year-old Kingston Bradley to malice murder after finding additional remains of 26-year-old DoorDash driver Shanteria Mosley at Park Valley Apartments and in a vehicle trunk.
