Here are the top three stories today in Grand Rapids:

1. The Grand Rapids Police Department has released the footage of the shooting and killing of Patrick Lyoya, 26, to the public. The footage shows the traffic stop, the struggle, and the eventual shooting of Lyoya in the back of the head while the officer has Lyoya pinned to the ground with his knee. The Michigan State Police and the Kent County Prosecutor's Office are reviewing the footage while the unidentified officer is on departmental leave. (WDIV ClickOnDetroit)
2. Grand Rapids' Gluten Free Bar is turning its production facility into a zero-waste operation. The facility will use 100 percent renewable energy through the Consumers Renewable Energy Program. The company creates gluten-free plant-based nutrition bars and oatmeal. (GR|MAG)
3. Grand Rapids' famous Founders Brewing Co. has released a new Belgian tripel. The brew is the latest installment in the company's Bottle Shop Series. The new offering will be available for nationwide consumption later this month with local consumers able to taste the new beer at the company's taprooms. (grbj.com)
