1 shot, robbed in a North Carolina mall parking lot Friday night, police say
A person was shot and robbed in the parking lot of Carolina Place mall in Pineville on Friday night after an arranged meeting led to a fight, police said.

McDonald County Historical Society Museum celebrates re-opening
PINEVILLE, Mo. — The McDonald County Historical Society Museum in Pineville celebrated its grand re-opening with a ribbon-cutting this morning. The public got a look at some big changes for the 2025 season. A new, $200,000 elevator was installed over the December to May off-season, opening up the second-floor courtroom and classroom to visitors who aren't able to use the stairs. Historical Society members tell us it's a game changer. 'There'd be a whole family would come in, but one or two members may not be able to make it to the second floor. And so it was fun to talk to them while we were downstairs. But providing access to everyone so that everyone can make it up here to the second floor and learn a little bit more about the history of the county to remember some of the veterans who served from the county. I think that's huge,' said Nick Graves, McDonald County Historical Society Board Chair. 'This is a very special day for us, and we're so happy that we're going to be able to show it off now to the rest of the community and our visitors who come,' said Robin Chapman, McDonald County Historical Society President. Alongside the new elevator, the museum also renovated its displays. Doors will be open from 10 to 2 every Saturday until the Christmas parade in December. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
