Antioch Shooting Updates. Plus, Metro Council Kicks Off 2025 and Nate Bargatze Wants To Build What?
We’ve got the latest updates on Wednesday’s tragic Antioch High School shooting, and Metro Council contributor Nicole Williams joins host Marie Cecile Anderson and executive producer Whitney Pastorek to run down what happened at Tuesday’s first Metro Council meeting of 2025 — and explain a new state bill that could see local officials hit with felonies for simply casting a vote. Plus, we found some good news, from Silver Sands, Nate Bargatze, and our favorite community fridge.
The family of Antioch shooting victim Josselin Corea Escalante has set up a GoFundMe to cover the return of her body to Guatemala. Donate here.
