Good morning, Huntsville.

Fire crews battled a fire at old LaGrange Elementary School today—workers continued efforts to control the blaze.

At about 9:10 p.m. Saturday, Decatur officers responded near the railroad tracks on Alabama Highway 67 when a high-speed Trinity motorcycle struck an SUV — then collided with a train in stopped traffic, and 57-year-old Leroy Goodwin Jr. was pronounced dead at the scene.

Lucas Bahn, co-founder of PlayerIntro, is working to change how athletes connect with coaches in Huntsville—he and his partner Joshua Corrow helped secure one of the five spots in Gener8tor’s startup cohort while driving local innovation.

A woman was critically injured in a shooting Sunday night on the 200 block of Steppe Court when deputies rushed her to Huntsville Hospital—detectives are investigating the incident and early findings point to domestic violence.

On May 19, AAA reported that regular gas in Huntsville cost $2.72 while mid-grade and premium were priced at $3.14 and $3.49.

The agency noted a national regular gas average of $3.18 and urged drivers to save fuel (by driving slowly and reducing idling) and use cruise control (when possible) on highways.

Huntsville now has more than 230,000 residents after new Census Bureau estimates showed the city added nearly 4,200 people in 2024 by drawing 11 new residents per day.

Other major cities like Birmingham, Mobile and Montgomery lost thousands of residents, a trend city officials say reflects smart planning and strong economic growth — driving more people to the Rocket City.

FBI Director Kash Patel said on Fox News Sunday that the agency will move 1,500 workers from Washington to field offices, with some assigned to Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville where updated training and security buildings exist.

He said the shift will save taxpayer money and boost FBI field operations by using existing facilities instead of building new ones.
