1. The Birmingham Police Department reports a Birmingham teen died at a local hospital after being shot in a vehicle on Thanksgiving evening. The teen showed up at UAB Hospital with gunshot wounds at about 6:50 p.m. Another teen is recovering from non-life-threatening injuries. The shooting did not appear random, according to the department. (WVTM13 Birmingham)
2. The Salvation Army of Greater Birmingham is offering a new affordable way to give back to those in need this holiday season. The organization's Project Share allows participants to pay a little extra on their energy bill each month to help lower someone else's bill. The program has helped almost three thousand people and has spent more than $450,000 on energy bills. Participation details are available at the link. (WBRC)
3. The Birmingham Police Department is still searching for a suspect who stole an Amazon delivery van. The incident occurred on Sunday, Nov. 20 on 6th Street North.
