1. The Chatham County Police Department is investigating a shooting that occurred on Saturday night on King George Boulevard.

2. Chatham County has announced plans for Saturday voting in the state's runoff election. The Saturday early voting is now allowed after U.S. Senator Raphael Warnock won a legal victory against Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. The Chatham County Voter Registration Office will be offering early voting at their main office on Eisenhower Drive on Saturday, Nov. 26 from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (WTOC)
3. A family in the Benjamin Van Clark Park neighborhood reported a giant live oak crashed into their home on Thursday morning. The tree is estimated to be over 200 years old. No one was hurt during the incident. The tree's enormous weight and tree rot contributed to the incident. (WBTW)
