Crimes include a non-fatal shooting, armed robbery, carjacking, aggravated assault, and armed robbery. All cases are ongoing. (Savannah Police Department via Facebook)
2. A Savannah church has joined up with a special ministry to provide gifts to children who have incarcerated loved ones. Angel Tree Ministries provided gifts to 60 children with the help of Savannah locals. The hope is to give some joy and comfort to children who may have parents, siblings, or other loved ones locked up this holiday season. The nationwide organization has been operating for seven years.

3. There are only seven performances left of 'A Christmas Tradition' before the run ends. The Savannah Theatre's run will close on Dec. 24.
