Good morning, Conway.
🚨 Crime
Joseph Blair, a 41-year-old escapee from DOC, was shot near Solomon Grove Baptist Church on March 6 after he brandished a firearm— a prosecuting attorney ruled that the officers’ use of deadly force was justified under Arkansas law.
🌲 Environment
Scientists said that human-caused climate change increased the rainfall of deadly April storms in Arkansas and nearby states by 9% while making such storms 40% more likely than before industrial times—factors that contributed to at least 24 deaths and widespread flooding.
They warned that without sharp cuts in pollution, even more severe storms will occur in the central Mississippi Valley.
