Statesboro Shootout
Sunday night, Statesboro Police Department was alerted to an armed robbery at Renaissance Apartments (formerly the Cove) on Chandler Road. Police apprehended two out of three suspects on sight. Students expressed concerned over the lack of an Eagle Alert, but officials later deemed it unnecessary after capturing the suspects. A press release was issued by the Statesboro Police Department concerning the incident.

Repeat: the clowns have made it to Statesboro. Reportedly. With earlier reports of suspecting clowns in North and South Carolina attempting to lure children into woods with money/candy, reports of clown sightings have made it to Statesboro. An initial photo circulating social media proved to be an old photograph, however the threat itself is still being investigated. An Eagle Alert was sent out alerting students to the situation.

Terence Crutcher
An unarmed 40-year-old black man was shot Friday night after police came across his stalled vehicle on the highway. In video, Terence Crutcher was seen with his hands responding to police commands before being fatally shot. The police officer who fired the shot suspected Crutcher of reaching for a weapon within the vehicle, however it was later determined the windows to the car were rolled up. An investigation is currently underway.
