Happy National Energy Conservation Day Durham!

First, today's weather:

Plenty of sunshine. High: 59 Low: 30.

Here are the top stories today in Durham:

  1. Durham police responded to a reported shooting around 3:00am on Monday. When officers arrived six juveniles had been shot. Two of the victims died at the scene and four others were taken to the hospital, at least one in critical condition. Police do not believe the incident was random, but they have not released a motive. (WXII12)
  2. Even Berding of Durham has won World Wide Best Chair award from the prestigious WoodReview. One of the award winning chairs will be on display at Horse & Buggy Press and Friends/ PS118 Gallery and Event Space. (EIN Presswire)
  3. Jon Ziefle of Durham has achieved one of his personal goals by running every single street, trail, and greenway within the city limits of Durham. Durham is home to over 4,200 streets, and that does not include the trails and greenways, and since the start of 2021, Zeifle has ran nearly six days a week. Through this goal he got the opportunity to discover remnants of historic Durham.
  4. A Durham man was victim to gunfire as two cars behind him followed him, and began to open fire. The man in his 30s, was driving at the intersection of Holloway and Alston Avenue before 4:00 am on Sunday and sustained minor injuries as one bullet grazed the side of his face. (CBS17)
  5. Governor Roy Cooper has been formally chosen to lead the Democratic Governors Association next year after serving as vice-chair and chair-elect in 2021. (WAVY) The New York Times has also reported that donors are pushing Governor Cooper to run for president if President Joe Biden does not seek a second term. (WSOC-TV)

Today in Durham:

From my notebook:

  • This National Energy Conservation Day you can schedule a free Home Energy House Call with Duke Energy to find out ways you can conserve energy and save money.
  • Duke Memorial Weekday School is hosting a dine-in/carry-out event at Pops Backdoor South. Mention DMWS at Pops from 5 pm until close to give some of your sale to the school.
  • If you haven't gotten the chance to head downtown, make sure you head out that way to enjoy the beautiful lights and holiday displays. (Downtown Durham)
