1. The O nightclub owner, 3 others arrested by ALE days after deadly shooting in Greensboro (myfox8.com) — Less than a week after a deadly shooting outside The O nightclub on West Market Street, Greensboro and state alcohol agents have arrested the club's owner and three others on drug and licensing-related charges.

2. Greensboro Explains Its Strange-Tasting Water (rhinotimes.com) — If your tap water in Greensboro has tasted or smelled off this week, city officials say it's due to recent maintenance disruptions, not a safety issue. The Water Resources Department is flushing lines and advises residents, especially in central Greensboro, to run cold water for several minutes until it clears, and to call the 24-hour line for persistent problems.
3. Memorial plan set for North Carolina A&T student who saved sister in Lake Norman (wxii12.com) — Greensboro residents are being invited to honor 21-year-old North Carolina A&T student Dorian Jackson, who died saving his younger sister on Lake Norman. A viewing is planned Saturday at Perry J. Brown Funeral Home on East Market Street, with visitation and funeral services Sunday at New Zion Missionary Baptist Church on MLK Drive. His family is remembering him as a devoted brother and selfless hero.
4. Greensboro families honor homicide victims at National Day of Remembrance ceremony (abc45.com) — Families in Greensboro gathered at the downtown Memorial Garden to honor hundreds of local homicide victims during the National Day of Remembrance, including the city's most recent victim. Loved ones placed flowers and candles by photos, shared stories, and leaned on support from the Family Justice Center and Greensboro police victim services.
