1. UPDATE: Chattanooga man charged with attempted murder after shooting man in neck (local3news.com) — Chattanooga police have charged 31-year-old Devonta Shepherd with attempted first-degree murder after a man was shot in the neck during a fight outside a church on Tunnel Boulevard.

3. Then and Now: Incline One (wdef.com) — If you've spent time in Chattanooga, you've likely seen the Incline Railway in St. Elmo—but this story digs into the long-gone Incline One and the Point Hotel on Lookout Mountain.
