Two deadly overnight incidents are under investigation after pedestrians were struck and killed in separate counties.

Authorities are asking anyone with information to come forward. These tragic events come as communities continue grappling with traffic safety and road-related fatalities.
Additional headlines include a man’s death following a fight outside a restaurant, a missing person case ending in the discovery of human remains, and a woman’s 30-year prison sentence in connection to a fatal shooting. Also, a family has returned home safely after being rescued from conflict overseas in a high-risk mission supported by a nonprofit.
