1. Law enforcement officials are asking the public to help them find three people accused of firing a BB gun at shoppers last week. On Nov. 7, three suspects arrived in the parking lot of Kroger on Hickory Flat Highway. The individuals proceeded to shoot at shoppers as they fled the parking lot. The incident resulted in multiple injuries and property damage. (FOX 5 Atlanta)
2. Atlanta Magazine has released its annual list of 'The Best of Atlanta,' and a local Canton hangout has made the list. The Mill on Etowah is already famous around town for its bevy of beers, and the magazine is hailing the locale as an ideal spot to relax and hang out with friends. The delicious food options and big-screen TVs make this a great way to unwind after a long day at work. It's easy to see why this spot earned the title of 'Best New Community Hangout.'(Atlanta Magazine)
