Today's riddle: I'm a rock group with 4 members; one member was assassinated. What am I? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Chiefs OC son's case to proceed after mental evaluation (espn.com) — A high-profile criminal case in Leesburg is moving ahead after a mental evaluation found Elijah Bieniemy competent to stand trial on multiple felony charges. Proceedings are unfolding in Loudoun County Domestic Relations Court, with his next appearance set for November 4 as his new attorney reviews the case and considers future mental-health defenses.
2. 25th Anniversary of America's 9/11 Ride: Never Forget (ridermagazine.com) — Leesburg played a visible role in this year's America's 9/11 Ride, officially placing the event on the town calendar and setting aside time for the motorcycle procession to pass through the community. The story traces how the multiday ride connects the three September 11 sites, honors victims and first responders, and relies on towns like Leesburg that line the route with flags, first responders, and families. It also explains how the ride raises scholarship funds and keeps 9/11 memories alive for younger generations.
3. Forbidden deliver music video for 'Burning The Lungs Of Earth' off their upcoming self-titled LP (lambgoat.com) — Leesburg metal fans can catch Forbidden live at Tally Ho Theater on November 2 as part of the band's fall tour with Heathen and Void. The group has just released a new single, "Burning The Lungs Of Earth," ahead of their first full-length album since 2010, due out October 23. The tour brings a rare dose of classic thrash to downtown Leesburg.
4. Loudoun United FC acquires Liam Butts on loan from Atlanta United 2 (uslchampionship.com) — Leesburg-based Loudoun United FC has added forward Liam Butts on loan from Atlanta United 2 for the rest of the 2026 USL Championship season, and he's eligible to play immediately. The 25-year-old brings strong scoring experience from MLS NEXT Pro and New England Revolution II, and coaches expect his physical style to boost Loudoun's attack down the stretch.
