🌱 Heroes Honky Tonk Benefit Concert + Swatting At Cincinnati Schools

Hi there, Cincinnati! I'm here in your inbox per usual to tell you everything you need to know about what's going on in town.

But first, today's weather:

Mostly sunny and mild. High: 71 Low: 51.

Here are the top three stories today in Cincinnati:

1. The Heroes Honky Tonk Benefit Concert will be held on Nov. 12 at Dead Low Brewery. The event will support first responders throughout Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana, and proceeds will go to Operation Open Arms. The program provides trauma kits and radios for law enforcement, as well as protective Nomex hoods to protect firefighters. Visit the link to learn more. (Back The Heroes Rumble)
2. Two public schools in Cincinnati are on high alert due to separate swatting incidents. 'Swatting' is the act of calling in phony emergencies to 911 to attract the attention of emergency services. Gamble Montessori High School is currently under a 'lockout' after a threat was called in. Meanwhile, Shroder High School is looking into its own swatting incident. The investigation for both incidents is ongoing. (WCPO News)
3. Investigating new home listings in and around Cincinnati online can be fun, but it doesn't compare to seeing a house in person. To help those looking to purchase a home in the Cincinnati area, here's a list of the five most recent properties to hit the market, with information included on the next scheduled open house. For more information on any listing, visit the link. (Cincinnati Patch)
