1. 'That view haunts me to this day': Former Haywood Mall employee speaks out after June shooting (wyff4.com) — A June shooting at Haywood Mall in Greenville left a young jewelry-store worker so shaken she quit, saying she felt unsafe and unsupported as the mall reopened the next day. Newly released 911 calls and city incident reports reveal the chaos inside, while Greenville's police chief and security experts weigh in on gun policies, accountability, and what more could be done to protect shoppers.
2. Hayden Panettiere's death: Charles Esten reveals strange coincidence in tribute (carolineprogress.com) — Actor Charles Esten shares that his tour stopped at the Foundry in Judson Mills, Greenville, just days before Hayden Panettiere died nearby, a coincidence he calls haunting. His tribute mixes memories from their Nashville days with reflections on her talent, struggles, and the apparent overdose in Greenville that has shaken friends and fans alike.
3. Hudson Valley's Hayden Panettiere Death Now Under DEA Investigation (wgna.com) — Federal drug agents are now assisting Greenville City Police in South Carolina as they investigate Hayden Panettiere's sudden death, including whether controlled substances played a role. Authorities say preliminary autopsy results show no trauma, and toxicology tests could take months while investigators trace any possible drug sources and review a 911 call describing cardiac arrest after a suspected overdose.
4. Hayden Panettiere child-star struggles revealed: second mom says she was offered all kinds of pills (carolineprogress.com) — Hayden Panettiere's recent death in an Airbnb in Greenville is prompting renewed scrutiny of how child stars are exposed to drugs and alcohol on set. A woman who considered herself Panettiere's "second mom" describes easy access to pills and liquor during the actress's youth, tying those pressures to her later addiction struggles and urging better protections for young performers.
