The latest from @ItsInDeKalb

DeKalb County Department of Watershed Management crews have isolated a water main break on McLendon Drive and stopped the flow of water.

Tree crews are removing a large tree from the site and Georgia Power and Atlanta Gas Light crews are working to make the area safe so that crews can begin repairs.

DeKalb County Watershed has placed a pallet of bottled water near the intersection of McLendon Drive and North Avenue for customers impacted by the water main break.

Residents and businesses may experience periods of low to no water pressure during the repair and motorists should expect delays.

For more information, contact the DeKalb County Watershed Department at 770-270-6243.

DeKalb County will provide updates throughout the repair.

Doctors at a hospital in Texas informed George Pickering that his son was in a state of brain death. They explained that his son showed "no brain activity" and the decision had been made to remove life support.

Pickering, however, was unconvinced by their assessment and resorted to extreme measures by drawing a firearm. He demanded that the doctors continue their efforts to save his son's life, threatening to use the gun if they refused.

This situation escalated into a tense standoff lasting three hours, during which Pickering faced off against the police while the medical team performed additional tests on his son.

The hospital was secured under lockdown as police negotiators tried to reason with Pickering, who remained adamant. In a pivotal moment, Pickering's son, previously declared braindead, responded to his father's request to squeeze his hand, indicating cognitive presence. Following this revelation, Pickering peacefully surrendered to the authorities.

George Pickering II subsequently served a prison sentence of 11 months. Remarkably, his son experienced a complete recovery.

@MichaelBJordan @KillerMike He was soooo dope at One Music Fest! The choir, the showmanship, the confidence, the lyrics, the joy and love for his craft - he’s come a looooong way since I first saw him perform at Club Money in Macon in 2001/2002. What a joy to witness! Hope he wins too!

Know this fact. @icecube has gone into every one of these ‘industries’ many of the masses worship… on HIS own rule and as his OWN MAN. A game that’s twisted many into demise. Not him. Know that. Seen the same dude since the day I met him. He KNOWS who he is. Know who YOU are.
