    Authorities say police responding to a domestic disturbance in Memphis fatally shot an armed suspect, and an injured man at the scene was hospitalized. Memphis Police said in a statement on social media that officers heard an active disturbance when they arrived around 3 a.m. Friday and found the wounded man. The statement says an armed suspect charged at police and one officer fired. Police say the suspect was taken to the hospital in critical condition and later died. Police say the injured man was also taken to the hospital in critical condition, but is now in stable condition. Further information wasn't immediately released.

    A Virginia school board has voted to restore the names of Confederate military leaders to a high school and an elementary school four years after the names had been removed. Shenandoah County’s school board voted 5-1 early Friday to rename Mountain View High School as Stonewall Jackson High School and Honey Run Elementary as Ashby Lee Elementary. Friday’s vote reverses a decision by the school board in 2020, a time when school systems across the South were removing Confederate names from schools in response to the Black Lives Matter movement. Board members who voted to restore the Confederate names say the previous school board ignored popular sentiment and due process when the names were stripped.
