Today's riddle: What do you call somebody who crosses the ocean twice and doesn't take a bath? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Suspect in Winston-Salem shooting in parking lot outside Carolina Classic Fair appears in court (myfox8.com) — Winston-Salem police say an 18-year-old is jailed without bond after a Tuesday night shooting injured two employees in a parking lot just outside the Carolina Classic Fair on University Parkway. Officials stress the incident wasn't tied to fair activities but have boosted police presence and security screening at all public, vendor, and vehicle entrances as the fair continues operating.
2. Bulldogs Shutout Rams, Extend win Streak to Three Games (bsubulldogs.com) — Winston-Salem State's Rams were shut out 21-0 at home by Bowie State at Bowman-Gray Stadium, dropping WSSU to 0-6 on the season. Despite early red-zone chances, the Rams' offense stalled while turnovers and a strong Bulldogs ground game turned a scoreless first half into a decisive second-half defeat.
3. Mecklenburg County weighs audit committee amid Charlotte-Mecklenburg School investigations (wbtv.com) — Mecklenburg County leaders are considering an audit advisory committee for Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, and they're looking to Forsyth County's response to a nearly $46 million Winston-Salem school district budget gap as a model. The Forsyth committee of financial experts now reviews district spending and recommends corrective actions, offering a cautionary example that could influence how other North Carolina counties oversee school finances.
4. The U.S. states with the most A-rated hospitals, per Leapfrog (qz.com) — If you live in Winston-Salem, you're in one of North Carolina's strongest regions for hospital safety, with multiple A-rated facilities typically within a short drive. A new analysis of Leapfrog grades shows North Carolina, especially the Triangle, Charlotte, and Triad, compares well nationally, though rural and eastern counties often have fewer high-scoring options and may require traveling for top-rated care.
