• YWCA Rock County receives $4K donation to install AEDs, other life-saving devices (channel3000.com) — Families from Beloit who rely on YWCA Rock County’s domestic violence shelter will soon benefit from new AEDs, airway-clearance devices, and fire blankets funded by a $4,000 grant. These upgrades aim to better protect survivors and children in crisis, while local and national hotlines remain available around the clock for anyone facing abuse. 
• State police investigate death at Illinois rest stop, possible connection to Wisconsin homicide (wmtv15news.com) — Beloit police are investigating the shooting death of 25-year-old Arianna Fobes after a shots-fired call on Colony Court, which they describe as an isolated incident with no ongoing danger to the community. The case may be connected to a suspect later found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot at an Illinois rest stop, though authorities have not released that person’s identity.
