    Two Dead in Peoria Shooting Flee | Peoria News

    At 2:45 AM in Peoria, gunfire erupted as a car sped away from police, triggering a high-speed chase that ended in tragedy. Officers found one man dead at the scene with multiple gunshot wounds, while the fleeing vehicle struck and killed a pedestrian before crashing into a utility pole. Two men inside were hospitalized—one critical, the other in serious condition—with a gun recovered from the car. Another man later arrived at the hospital with a leg wound, claiming he was shot in the same area; his injuries are non-life-threatening. Authorities are still investigating, with Peoria PD’s homicide unit and Illinois State Police handling separate aspects of the case. The coroner will soon release the names of the two fallen brothers. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

    TikTok Settles for $400M Over Kids Privacy | Peoria News

    TikTok just paid $400 million to settle a major U.S. lawsuit over mishandling kids’ data — a win for parents and a wake-up call for social media giants. The government says TikTok failed to get proper consent from minors under 13 and ignored parental requests to delete accounts. This isn’t their first brush with regulators, and they’ve already restructured their U.S. operations with new investors. As lawsuits mount and countries consider banning social media for kids, companies are under intense pressure to prioritize safety — and this settlement sends a clear message: accountability is non-negotiable.

    Concussions in Football: Recognize and Act | Peoria News

    Football season is here, and player safety—especially concussions—is more critical than ever. These injuries aren’t always obvious; you don’t need to lose consciousness to have one. Watch for dizziness, stumbling, behavioral changes, or slow recovery after a hit. Coaches know their players best—if something feels off, it’s a red flag. The culture has shifted: players now feel safer speaking up, and teammates are more likely to intervene. Symptoms can appear days later, even causing long-term effects. Schools are stepping up with baseline testing and athletic trainers to help diagnose and safely return athletes to play. If a concussion is suspected, remove the player immediately and follow a strict return-to-play protocol under medical supervision. Prevention matters too—proper tackling, neck strength, and conditioning all help. When in doubt? Sit them out. Their future depends on it.
