NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A fourth suspect has been arrested in connection with a March shooting outside a South Nashville apartment complex, according to the Metro Nashville Police Department. On March 14, police said a woman and a 30-year-old man were in a vehicle outside an apartment complex in the 200 block of Tanglewood Court when another woman — identified Friday as 24-year-old Ritquia Patton — approached and an argument ensued. Shortly after the argument started, three armed men got out of a nearby silver Hummer and opened fire.

Here's why this North Thurston middle school was locked out last week
Chinook Middle School and other schools were briefly locked out last week after a suspect, fleeing from Washington State Patrol troopers and Thurston County Sheriff's deputies, ditched his vehicle nearby. That suspect is still at large, said Sheriff's Lt. Mike Brooks on Sunday. Chinook Middle School families received this message about noon Tuesday, May 20: 'Due to police activity in the area, the Lacey Police Department has advised us to initiate a lockout,' the email reads. 'All exterior doors to the school are currently locked. We are in communication with the Lacey Police Department and awaiting further instructions. Please be assured that all students are safe. We will update you when we have more information.' The lockout was lifted shortly thereafter, according to a follow-up email from the school. Sheriff Derek Sanders explained what happened in a social media post, saying that Chehalis police had advised them that the driver of an H3 Hummer, who allegedly was casing houses, then fled north on Interstate 5. 'A short time later, WSP attempted to stop the Hummer and a pursuit was initiated. Near the 110 mile marker, the Hummer slammed on the brakes, turned around, and began driving the wrong way down I-5,' Sanders wrote. He said the driver crossed the median, fled toward College Street and ditched his vehicle. Lacey police Sgt. Jeremy Knight said Sunday that location was near North Thurston Public Schools' district headquarters, which triggered the lockout. Other schools in the area also were briefly locked out, a district spokeswoman said Sunday. According to a photo released by the Sheriff's Office, the man was last seen in a sleeveless black shirt, black short pants, red socks and black sneakers. He also has tattoos on both arms. His hair was tied up in a bun, the photo shows. Anyone with information about the suspect is asked to call the Thurston non-emergency dispatch line at 360-704-2740.

Woman killed in two-vehicle crash involving Hummer in Fresno County, CHP says
A woman is dead Saturday after a two-vehicle collision in Fresno County. It happened at noon as officers with the California Highway Patrol responded to the scene at the intersection of Highway 180 and Del Ray Avenue. CHP said a 38-year-old woman was driving a white Chevrolet Malibu northbound on Del Rey Avenue and entered the westbound lanes of Highway 180, while a 72-year-old man was traveling westbound on 180 in a Hummer H2 within the No. 2 lane. The Chevrolet entered the intersection and traveled directly into the path of the Hummer, resulting in a broadside collision, CHP said. The force caused the Chevrolet to swerve in a northwest direction, where it struck the right side mirror of a parked Sanger Police Department BMW motorcycle, which was stationary on the northwest corner of Del Rey Avenue and 180. The officer, who was monitoring traffic at the time, was not injured. The driver of the Chevrolet was pronounced dead. The driver of the Hummer sustained minor injuries and was not taken to a hospital. It is unknown if alcohol or drugs were a factor in the collision.

5 of the Most Unique Car Features for 2025
Just when we thought a refrigerated armrest cooler was the ultimate feature a vehicle could have, we are proven dead wrong. Innovation is key in the automotive industry, and whether those innovations are related to safety, comfort, or convenience, there's no question that some features were the result of some very deep thinking. There are certainly automotive features almost no one uses, but there are some that make us applaud based on their sheer brilliance. For 2025, there are unique features, both real-world practical and highly technological, that change the entire experience of vehicle ownership. Here are five of the most unique car features for 2025. The Hummer's revival brings back the massive ethos of the military-to-civilian beast to the 21st century with the exclusively plug-in electric power of the 2025 GMC Hummer EV in pickup and SUV variants ($99,045). Not only is it opulent and powerful, but it's also almost balletic when spaces shrink. The colossal Hummer EV sometimes needs help in tight quarters. Thankfully, GMC engineers came up with a special four-wheel steering system known as CrabWalk, which enables all four wheels to turn in the same direction by up to 10 degrees. Some vehicles have four-wheel steering, but the rear wheels turn in the opposite direction of the front wheels for tighter turns. The Crab Walk feature allows the Hummer EV to move diagonally without altering the angle of the body. This makes navigating tight trails or cramped urban spaces with remarkable agility a breeze for something this big. It works at a maximum of 1.2 mph, so don't think of threading the needle between two minivans on the highway. Learn more here. Oh, to live the convertible life. It's wonderful when it's warm and sunny, but not so much when the temperatures drop. Mercedes makes it possible to not look (or feel) like a shivering fool with the top down thanks to its brilliant Airscarf and Aircap that are standard in the 2025 CLE-Class Cabriolet ($66,450). The Airscarf is located in the backrests of the front seats, blowing warm air through the headrests. The nozzles can be adjusted up or down to accommodate occupants of different heights, and they automatically adjust based on interior temperatures, exterior temperatures, and the speed at which the car is traveling. It combines with the Aircap, a system that utilizes two wind deflectors, one on the trailing edge of the windscreen that can be extended at the touch of a button, and a second automatic wind deflector between the head restraints in the rear. It reduces turbulence and keeps the warm air in the cabin. Together, the system extends the top-down season and almost justifies the extra cost of the Cabriolet style. The Aircap can also be used in hot weather to keep the cabin cool when the top is down. Learn more here. Midway through the year, Volvo refreshed its XC90 ($59,745) three-row mild hybrid steed with updates to its front fascia, as well as an updated dashboard, better sound-deadening, revised suspension tuning, and a new 11.2-inch infotainment screen. The brand remains all about safety with numerous innovations. Case in point, their ingenious Integrated Child Seat. This isn't some new feature, as Volvo created its first one in 1990 and modified it in 2007 to accommodate the varying heights of children. Moreover, the seat is meant to eliminate the risk that seat belt slack creates when using a separate aftermarket booster seat. Just pull it up from the adult position, and it locks into place. There's no extra equipment required, and it easily retracts for grown-ups. More carmakers should implement this brilliant idea. Learn more here. There are good car seats, and then there are great ones. The 2025 Lincoln Navigator Black Label ($116,495) has standard 30-Way Perfect Position Seats that are easily the latter. Since everyone's body is different, the Perfect Position Seats' level of customization can accommodate just about anyone. Inspired by executive office and private jet seats, Perfect Position Seats are aptly named. There are two sections on the seat upper, one that supports the shoulders and the other that provides suspension for the back. The power thigh bolsters are divided into right and left sections that can be extended, raised, and lowered individually. The bolsters for the shoulders, back, and cushion can also be adjusted separately. The power headrest can even move up/down as well as forward/back. Lincoln also includes heating and ventilation, as well as the Active Motion customizable massage feature. These are the car seats that you'll never want to get out of. Learn more here. The 2025 Rivian R1T ($69,900) is one of the most innovative pickup trucks, and not just because it's fully electric. The R1T provides up to 420 miles of range on a full charge and as much as 1,050 horsepower from four electric motors. But it's more than just an electric powerhouse; it's a storage master. Due to the lack of a transmission tunnel like gas vehicles, the R1T makes use of its space with a Gear Tunnel Storage section that opens up both sides of the vehicle to 11.7 cubic feet of separated storage. It's 65 inches long, watertight, and even has a rubberized high-traction lining, so you can store muddy and sloppy gear without fear of messing up the cabin. It also features 120V and 12V ports, LED lights, and compartment doors that can hold 250 pounds for convenient seating. Learn more here. These special car features, both standard and optional, are excellent examples of innovative thinking in the automotive industry. While none of these five features is required to properly operate a vehicle, they're fantastic to have. From retractable booster seats to pass-through gear storage, these ingenious features change the car ownership experience for the better. We can't wait to see what carmakers will think of next.
