An alert went out yesterday when flames erupted at the nuclear plant in Waynesboro.

Rafael Bostic is keeping his powder dry when it comes to interest rate cuts.

Not going to issue a travel advisory yet, Chris, but if you're rolling into Brookhaven out of DeKalb County, into northeast Atlanta, be aware of a crash we see on the jam cam. Left and right side of the roadway, HOV lane and to the right lane knocked out. This crash right at North Druid Hills Road, exit 89. The ride in from the northern suburbs, for the most part, doing well. Still got those brake lights, pesky brake lights along I-20 to DeKalb County, Ashley Brown.  And it looks like they're holding all lanes at times to pick up those barrels on I-20 westbound between Panola and Wesley Chapel Road, so there is pretty heavy delay there. Use Covington Highway.

The United Auto Workers Union has filed unfair labor practice charges against Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk after the two discussed on social media about Musk supposedly firing striking workers. Norman Hall reports Trump calls the allegations frivolous and a shameful political stunt. The UAW recently endorsed Kamala Harris for president.  Vice President Kamala Harris's running mate, Governor Tim Walz, responds to attacks from the Trump campaign on his military record. Donald Trump's running mate, Ohio Senator J.D. Vance, is accusing Walz of lying about his service. And he has not spent a day in a combat zone. Walz pushing back at Vance, who served as a Marine in Iraq himself, but didn't see active fighting.

One man is reportedly killed during an argument at a Sitco on Columbia Drive. The store clerk saw the whole thing and tells Channel 2 Action News.

Investigators are now looking over surveillance footage to try and identify the shooter. Police in Ferguson, Missouri say a black police officer suffered a life-threatening brain injury after he was tackled during protests for the 10th anniversary of the police shooting of Michael Brown.
