📰 News we're reading
• School Shootings in 2025: The Fewest Incidents and Deaths in 5 Years (edweek.org) — A recent national analysis of 2025 school shootings notes that incidents and deaths dropped to their lowest levels in five years, but it also flags an unresolved case at Stephenson High School in Stone Mountain. Investigators are still determining whether the December 12 shooting there involved a self-inflicted injury, which affects how it’s counted in federal tracking. Stone Mountain families may see updated information if new details emerge. 
• Why do so many ‘Stranger Things' locations look familiar? (wsav.com) — If you’ve spotted a familiar graveyard on ‘Stranger Things,’ it might be right here in Stone Mountain, where the cemetery used for Max’s visit to Billy’s grave is located. A new guide maps out Georgia filming spots from the show, from Rome to Griffin, giving local fans ideas for day trips and photo ops close to home.
