• City council approves generator installations at city facilities (tiftongazette.com) — Tifton's city council has approved a nearly $1.3 million project to install backup generators at five key city facilities, improving resilience during storms and blackouts. Mostly funded by a Georgia Emergency Management Agency grant, the plan still leaves the city responsible for about $400,000, but leaders say the investment will better protect residents in future emergencies.

Investigators say online influences, easy access to a firearm, and interest in mass violence played roles, and the district attorney is urging Tifton parents to closely monitor their children's digital lives.
