Description

Rhode Island’s political spotlight turned fierce as Governor Dan McKee and challenger Helena Foulkes clashed in their first televised debate, while Republicans Elaine Pelino and Aaron Guckian battled over healthcare and housing. Meanwhile, a fatal stabbing at South Station sent shockwaves through the city, and the Lindsay Clancy murder trial unfolded with raw testimony and autopsy photos triggering emotional recesses. Tiverton grapples with lingering questions after PFAS contamination was found in wells near a fire station — just as McKee named Judge Luis Matos to the Supreme Court, sparking speculation about his choice. State Police dive teams combed Woonsocket waters in a homicide probe, while New Bedford paused its Flock cameras after alleged misuse by an officer. URI researchers are turning to parasitic wasps to battle the spotted lanternfly invasion. And in Tiverton, a man was arrested in a domestic violence standoff, while another recovered from a terrifying rabid raccoon attack in South Kingstown.
