STORY 1: Gwinnett could get up to 3 inches of snow on Friday

Metro Atlanta is expected to receive at least an inch of snow on Friday, with a Winter Storm Watch in effect from 7 a.m. Friday to 7 a.m. Saturday. The area could see up to 3 inches of snow and sleet, plus a quarter-inch of ice, while north Georgia may get 3 to 6 inches of snow. Governor Brian Kemp urged residents to prepare and stay informed. State offices will close Friday, with employees working remotely. The Georgia Department of Transportation is treating roads with brine and advises limiting travel from Friday morning to mid-day Saturday due to hazardous conditions.

STORY 2: Lilburn police arrest suspect in New Year's Day double murder

Lilburn police are investigating a double murder from New Year's Day, believed to be a domestic incident. An out-of-state caller prompted a welfare check, leading to a missing person's case that evolved into a homicide investigation. With assistance from Gwinnett and Duluth police, investigators worked through the night, discovering two crime scenes and identifying two bodies in Gwinnett County. A suspect was arrested 30 miles from Lilburn and charged with murder, but identities remain undisclosed pending family notification. Police credit the swift resolution to collaboration with Gwinnett and Duluth police departments.

STORY 3: Apalachee High School student arrested for bringing gun to school this week

A 14-year-old student at Apalachee High School was arrested for bringing a gun to school, four months after a previous shooting incident at the same school. The student was apprehended without incident and faces charges including possession of a firearm and theft. Classes were canceled for Thursday as a precaution. The arrest follows a tragic shooting on September 4, 2024, where Colt Gray killed four people and injured nine. This incident has prompted renewed discussions on school safety, with the Barrow County Board of Education holding a special session to address the issue.

STORY 4: January Is National Blood Donor Month — Here's Where You Can Donate

Winter weather and a busy cold and flu season often lead to American Red Cross blood drive cancellations, making early in the year a tough time for blood collection. The Red Cross urges donors, especially those with Type O negative blood and platelet donors, to donate to maintain the blood supply. Partnering with the NFL for National Blood Donor Month, donors before January 26 can enter to win a Super Bowl LIX package. Donation opportunities are available in Gwinnett County, including the Duluth Blood Donation Center. Visit the Red Cross website for more details and to schedule donations.

STORY 5: Fulton Judge Throws Out Gwinnett's Challenge to Mulberry's Creation

A Fulton County judge dismissed Gwinnett County's lawsuit against the creation of the City of Mulberry, rejecting claims that the legislation violated the Georgia Constitution. The dismissal allows Mulberry to proceed with its incorporation, which began on January 1. Despite multiple lawsuits challenging its creation, none have succeeded. Judge Rachelle Carnesale ruled that Gwinnett failed to qualify for declaratory relief, leading to the dismissal of related claims. Mulberry's mayor expressed eagerness to work with Gwinnett County on service transitions. Gwinnett officials consider the lawsuit pending and have not commented on the ruling.
