What’s a “virtual office”? You could think of it as the New ‘P.O. Box’ for the modern era. Virtual offices can include:

Here are the top three stories today in Alpharetta-Milton:

1. Alpharetta police are conducting interviews and searching for a shooter who injured two teenage girls at a carnival held in the parking lot of North Point Mall. The incident occurred on Wednesday evening when a young man opened fire, causing injuries to the 15- and 18-year-old victims. While the motive remains unknown, authorities believe it to be an isolated incident and assure the community that there is no ongoing danger. (Atlanta News First)
2. A former Alpharetta police officer, Michael Esposito, has been indicted on charges of violating oath by a public officer and aggravated assault and battery. The charges stem from a July 2021 incident where Esposito released a K9 during a domestic disturbance call, resulting in severe injuries to Travis Moya. A civil lawsuit has been filed against Esposito and the city, alleging permanent disfigurement and emotional distress. (Appen Media)
3. The Wire and Wood festival taking place on Oct. 13-14 has announced its headline acts. Marc Broussard, a rock, soul, and R&B artist will perform as a headliner prior to indie-rock artist Susto, who will go on the final day of the festival. There will be 30 other artists of a multitude of genres who will perform alongside the headline acts. This free event is a rain or shine and more information is available here relating to lineups, updates, and more. (Alpharetta-Roswell Herald)
