• Public property. No trespassing? Man hopes his $313 ticket will reshape Lake Michigan shoreline access (wisconsinwatch.org) — A long-running dispute over who can use the Lake Michigan beach just north of Atwater Park has landed in Shorewood Municipal Court, after a UW-Milwaukee professor accepted a trespassing ticket to challenge Wisconsin’s shoreline access law. The case centers on a highly visible private beach compound below a Shorewood home and could eventually influence how much of Wisconsin’s Great Lakes shoreline the public can legally walk.
   

• Healthcare professionals describe busy flu season as cases rise in Wisconsin (tmj4.com) — Shorewood’s Uptown Pharmacy & Wellness is slammed as flu and other respiratory illnesses surge across southeast Wisconsin, with big jumps in flu shots and antiviral prescriptions. Local health experts report crowded ERs and rising Milwaukee County hospitalizations, and they stress it’s still worthwhile to get a flu vaccine for at least partial protection.
   

• Suspect killed in Milwaukee, officers' actions justified: DA (fox6now.com) — A deadly July shooting in Shorewood that left a woman dead and an officer wounded led to a Milwaukee police chase where the suspect was killed by law enforcement. Milwaukee County’s district attorney has now ruled the officers’ use of force justified, concluding the suspect repeatedly fired at officers and posed an imminent danger to nearby residents.
