Rare Mosquito-Borne Virus Detected in Michigan 🦟
Michigan health officials have confirmed a case of Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) in a resident of Roscommon County. Officials said the virus was acquired locally.

EEE is primarily spread to people through the bites of mosquitoes that have previously fed on infected birds. People infected with EEE cannot spread the virus to others.

Symptoms can range from mild or none to severe illness and may include fever, headache, nausea, and chills. The virus was last detected in Michigan in 2021.

Health officials are continuing to monitor mosquitoes, domestic animals, and residents and are urging people to use insect repellent and take precautions to reduce mosquito bites.📲

A shooting outside an LDS church in Utah left one person dead and two others critically injured, according to police.

Officers were at the church after attendees requested a police presence due to concerns that there “could be a problem.” Around 11:25 a.m., shots were fired outside the building. Officers found one critically injured victim in the road who was later pronounced dead at a hospital.

A second critically injured victim was located inside a vehicle after police pursued it when the occupants initially failed to stop. A third victim was also found critically injured at the church and transported for treatment.

Police said a large crowd and fight were reported at the scene, with additional officers and sheriff’s deputies responding. Investigators are interviewing witnesses and looking into possible gang involvement.

Authorities said the shooting appears to be an isolated incident, and people at the church were directed to remain inside for safety. The investigation remains ongoing. 📲
