Key Headlines of September 4 - September 9, 2024

However you get your news, here are a few stories that stood out in local, state, federal and international news.


  • Last Wednesday, a 14 year old boy “walked into a high school near Atlanta, Georgia… with an AR-platform-style rifle and opened fire,” killing four people and injuring at least nine others.

  • Two students and two teachers were killed.

  • We have to stop this, this must end.


James Earl Jones Passes Away

  • The acclaimed actor, widely known as the voice of Mufasa in ‘The Lion King’ and Darth Vader in ‘Star Wars,’ passed away yesterday.

  • Having developed a stutter at a young age, Jones was coaxed out of his shell by a high school English teacher who encouraged Jones to use poetry as a means of practicing speech.

  • A Pre-Med student in college and a military second lieutenant, Jones narrowly missed being deployed to Korea during the Korean war. Jones was promoted to first lieutenant prior to his discharge.

  • Upon the completion of his military service, Jones moved to New York to study theatre and work as a janitor to support himself.

  • The rest is history.


  • “At least 51 people were killed and more than 200 injured in a Russian missile strike on a military training facility and nearby hospital in central Ukraine.”

  • The missiles came so quickly that there was very little time between when the missiles detonated and when the alarms went off to alert people in the area.

  • Ukraine has a shortage of air-defense systems that can be used to prevent such large-scale attacks.

  • Russia has launched more than 200 strikes in 15 Ukrainian regions over the past week — targeting the country's electricity infrastructure after Ukraine’s surprise attacks on Russian bridges.


  •  The Department of Justice has identified “32 domains tied to a Russian influence campaign accused of spreading propaganda to influence voters in U.S. and foreign elections.”

  • The Department alleges “Members of Russian President Vladimir Putin's inner circle directed Russian companies to promote disinformation as part of a campaign to influence the 2024 election.”

  • “The DOJ also announced charges Wednesday against Russian nationals connected to an alleged scheme to influence U.S. audiences with content that included hidden Russian government messaging.”

  • “Three Russian companies, directed by the Russian presidential administration, used the seized domains not only to influence voters, but also to reduce international support for Ukraine amid the ongoing war and promote pro-Russia policies.”


The NFL is Back

  • The National Football League returns for its 59th season in the Super Bowl era.

  • The Cleveland Browns began the season with a poor start, losing to the Dallas Cowboys 33-17.
