1. Greenville woman speaks out after Ring doorbell video shows officers entering her home (witn.com) — Greenville police have placed an officer on administrative leave after Ring doorbell video shows officers entering a woman's Moseley Drive apartment and detaining her while seeking shooting-related footage. The woman and her family say they're traumatized, while criminal defense attorneys question whether the search and phone access were lawful. An internal affairs investigation is underway, and police say shots fired earlier narrowly missed two children nearby.
2. 'Teacher of the Week' returns to WITN News at Sunrise (witn.com) — Greenville's WITN News at Sunrise is bringing back its weekly 'Teacher of the Week' spotlight and is asking viewers to nominate standout educators from across Eastern North Carolina. Each Wednesday, a nominated teacher will be featured on air, invited to the studio, and receive a $100 gift certificate and engraved trophy recognizing their impact.
3. Back-to-school anxiety can look like a stomachache. Here's what parents should know (wcti12.com) — As Greenville children head back to school, a pediatric psychologist at ECU Health says stomachaches and headaches can be signs of anxiety rather than simple attempts to skip class. She urges parents to prepare kids with open houses, positive conversations about school, and attention to when symptoms appear, which can reveal stressful classes or situations. Recognizing these patterns can help families support a smoother transition.
