Virginia Beach Local Pulse: March 26 - Fifth Arrest in Oceanfront Shooting, Sunny Skies Ahead
Published 1 month ago
Description
Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for Thursday, March 26.
We start with breaking news from our Oceanfront. Virginia Beach police made a fifth arrest yesterday in the March 7 shooting on the 1800 block of Atlantic Avenue that injured six people. Nineteen-year-old BaShaun C. Williams from Norfolk faces charges like attempted robbery and malicious wounding, joining four other suspects already in custody. All victims survived with non-life-threatening injuries, and were relieved to hear police consider the case closed for now.
Shifting to city hall, no major decisions hit our desks this week, but were watching tomorrows Human Resource VBCPS Educator and School Support Staff Hiring Expo at Landstown High School on Concert Drive. It ties into our strong job market, with over 35,000 openings across the city, from teaching to healthcare roles.
Weather wise, we enjoy mostly sunny skies today with highs in the mid 70s and light south winds around 5 miles per hour. Perfect for outdoor plans, though a severe storm system looms for early next week with tornado risks in Hampton Roads. Clear tonight with lows in the upper 40s.
New business stays steady, no big openings or closings, but our real estate market heats up with median home prices around 450,000 dollars, up 5 percent from last year, drawing families to neighborhoods like Kempsville.
On the cultural side, Warren Zeiders World Tour hits town today, and Yonder Mountain String Band plays soon after. Mark your calendars for the North American Sand Soccer Championship in June at the Oceanfront.
Local schools shine with Virginia Beach City Public Schools hosting career fairs this week, prepping students for those 35,000 jobs. No big sports wins yet, but our teams gear up.
For a feel-good story, a local columnist shares tips on fresh peas for Easter tables, celebrating our farms community spirit.
Crime report from the past day remains quiet beyond that Oceanfront update, with courts handling routine dockets in Norfolk.
Upcoming, catch that hiring expo tomorrow.
Thanks for tuning in, listeners, and remember to subscribe for daily updates.
