• Operation Legend continues, and the United States Attorney for the Western District of Tennessee says they don’t need special permission for federal investigators to operate in Memphis. The operation aims to help crime in the area.

• Violence in the Bluff City continues to surge. Memphis Police responded to at least four different shootings last night.
