Ex-Cop's Mass Shooting Plot, Alma Adams' Ethics Probe, Durham Crash Investigation, NC Towns Pause Data Centers, Berger Blames Democrats

0:00A former Chapel Hill police officer named Christopher Gillum got busted in Florida for plotting a mass shooting at a New Orleans festival. Cops found a hang-gun in about 200 rounds of ammo in his hotel room. He used to work as an orange county sheriff's deputy, too. Meanwhile, Congresswoman Alma Adams from North Carolina dodged the House ethics probe last year over an alleged relationship with her deputy chief of staff. The committee wrapped it up Thursday, saying no rules were broken. In Durham, the crash that killed 15-year-old Jack O'Shea is still under the microscope. The 26-year-old driver, Joseph Savarino, faces DWI charges with a blood alcohol level of 0.11%. Experts say extra charges depend on piecing together the scene. North Carolina towns are hitting paws on data centers left and right. Places like Orange County and Toonway County just pass moratoriums because folks worry about the huge water and power needs, plus all that. Noise.

1:00And in politics, Senate leader Phil Berger's blaming Democrats for his primary loss, which some say shows why he lost touch with voters. That's the pulse from the triangle today. Stay sharp out there. This has been Durham News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with The Story.
