• Man shot in neck in East Stuart, police said (tcpalm.com) — A man was seriously wounded after being shot in the neck early Sunday in East Stuart, then fled toward the nearby Stuart police station for help. Officers quickly identified a 42-year-old local woman as the suspect and arrested her on an attempted second-degree murder charge. Police say evidence and surveillance video tied her to the shooting following a confrontation. 
• Trump ESA changes could threaten Florida whales, manatees, sea turtles (tcpalm.com) — Proposed Trump administration changes to the Endangered Species Act could weaken protections for Florida’s manatees, sea turtles, and right whales, species you might spot around Stuart and nearby waters. Conservation groups warn that factoring economic impacts into listings and habitat decisions, and limiting climate-change considerations, could undo decades of progress. They’re urging Floridians to comment before the federal deadline.
