Good morning, Marietta.

Today, Cobb County Animal Services in Marietta features Luna—a grey/white Siberian husky who is spayed and 2 years old—available for adoption from its shelter.

Appointments for pet visits are encouraged to help manage staffing and ensure a smooth process.

Cobb police have identified the victim in a decades-old cold case—Veronica Jane Miller of Mableton was confirmed through DNA testing and family interviews after her body was found near the Chattahoochee River on May 10—and the family has been notified.

A Cobb County judge denied bond for former police lieutenant Christopher Bradshaw, accused of a deadly hit-and-run on I-75 last month that killed truck driver Terrell Loudermilk, and prosecutors plan to add charges as he remains in jail (the victim’s family urged that he stay locked up).

At Pebblebrook High School, officials locked down the campus on Tuesday after an altercation and a report of a gun on campus; police took two students into custody—while they continue to search for another student in a nearby wooded area.

Mildred Hughes, 80, was fatally struck while walking southbound on Cobb Parkway near Crater Lake Drive at 5:13 a.m.—she was hit by a gray 2017 Chevrolet Traverse driven by 46-year-old Chris Durland, police said.

Georgia's average gas price rose by one cent to $2.91 per gallon, which is still 16 cents lower than the price a year ago.

Savannah has the highest price at $3.01 and Catoosa-Dade-Walker has the lowest at $2.82.

Kennesaw State University launched its Presidential Lecture Series on Monday when renowned AI expert Kathy Pham spoke at the Joe Mack Wilson Student Center on campus—she explained how stronger connections among industry, academia, and government can help improve and guide AI technology. KSU has also expanded its AI education with new graduate programs to meet the growing need for skilled professionals.

Cobb County Animal Services in Marietta announced that Sage, a 5-month-old male black/white domestic short hair kitten, is in their shelter and ready for adoption.
