Good morning, this is Nashville Local Pulse for Thursday, November 21, 2024.

We're starting with breaking news from the past few days. A shooting at the downtown Nashville WeGo bus station left one teenager dead, and we're still waiting for more details on the investigation[1]. Additionally, a man was charged after a SWAT incident near the downtown Nashville jail, highlighting ongoing concerns about public safety in our city.

In job market news, we don't have any major hiring announcements today, but it's worth noting that more than 5,000 Tennesseans have registered to volunteer as tnAchieves mentors, which is a positive development for our community's education and workforce[1].

Moving to real estate, there haven't been any notable commercial or residential property sales announced recently. However, we're seeing steady activity in new development projects, particularly in areas like downtown Nashville. Weekly median home prices and inventory levels remain stable, but we'll keep an eye on any significant changes.

From city hall, the Metro Council is currently debating a police-backed security camera program, which could have a significant impact on daily life and public safety in our neighborhoods[1].

Weather-wise, today is expected to be mostly sunny with a high in the mid-50s, making it a great day to get out and enjoy our city's parks and outdoor spaces. However, we're expecting a drop in temperatures later in the week, so be sure to check the forecast before planning your activities[4][5].

In new business activity, we're excited to see a new nonstop route from Nashville to Orlando via Frontier, which will make travel easier for our residents[1]. On the other hand, Spirit Airlines has filed for bankruptcy, which could affect travel plans for some of our community members.

Looking ahead to community events, Walk Bike Nashville is holding a vigil for victims of Tennessee car crashes, and Soul United Friendsgiving is handing out hundreds of hot meals to those in need. These events remind us of the importance of community support and safety.

In local school achievements, one Nashville school is making headlines for its focus on dyslexic learners, providing specialized education and resources to help these students succeed[1].

For our feel-good community story, we're highlighting Warrick in Lebanon, who has become a familiar face in his community by spreading joy and connection during his morning commute[2].

Finally, in today's crime report, we have several incidents to note. A suspect was shot in the leg and buttocks during a Metro officer-involved shooting, and a man was charged after a string of burglaries in Nashville. We also have reports of a doorman being assaulted at Robert's Western World and police looking for a truck involved in a hit-and-run at Smokin Thighs[1][3].

This has been Nashville Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
