• Families, friends remember those killed in deadly Manassas shooting (dcnewsnow.com) — Families are grieving two men killed in Wednesday's workplace shooting at United Rentals in Manassas, as loved ones share memories of their devotion to children and youth sports.

• Why the DC region's Hispanic population is growing (wtop.com) — Manassas remains a key center of Hispanic population growth in the D.C. region, even as that growth spreads into surrounding counties.
