Here's your local news at a glance for Friday, the 18th of April.
Good morning, Rogers.
🚧 Accidents
Two Rogers officers were injured when an officer cleaning a firearm accidentally discharged it — the round hit his leg and then struck a colleague's foot — and although neither injury is life-threatening, both officers were taken to a local hospital while the department begins an internal investigation.
🏛️ Government
On Thursday, the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral arguments on the LEARNS Act Indoctrination section but did not take further action on Attorney General Tim Griffin's request to lift a court order that stops the state from enforcing it.
Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders vetoed House Bill 1889 that would have allowed drive-through dispensary access for medical marijuana to help patients such as Cindy Moffitt, who has stage four cancer.
Lawmakers remain puzzled about the move — they may wait for the next session or try to override the decision.
🏥 Health
The state Department of Health said Thursday that four flu deaths were reported in Arkansas last week, raising the season's toll to 174.
