- According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, melatonin poisoning of children has gone up dramatically in the past decade. Melatonin ingestion can lead to hospitalization and other more serious problems. A local pediatrician, Jose Cucalon-Calderon, spoke about how important proper sleep can be for kids. He recommended that anyone considering melatonin use for kids speak with their pediatrician first. (KOLO)
- A man with a gun brought chaos to a Drag Queen Storytime event outside the Sparks Library. The event on Sunday afternoon was protested by a group of Proud Boys outside the library. Near the end of the protest, a man wearing Proud Boys clothing and carrying a gun approached the library, which caused participants in the storytime event to run to the library for safety. (KRNV)

- The SPCA of Northern Nevada would like you to meet Trya, a two-year-old large mixed pup looking for a loving home. She needs exercise, socialization, and training to become the best dog she can be! She'd do best with another dog who plays rough, children over 15, and a dog-savvy cat. (SPCA of Northern Nevada via Facebook)
