MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WTVF) — Murfreesboro police are searching for multiple suspects after a smash and grab at a busy gas station this month. Surveillance video captured the crime on tape.

Journalism is at its best when we can shine a light on an issue that needs more attention. Once again, Hannah McDonald does this beautifully by highlighting the hardships of teens aging out of the foster care system. I learned something new in her reporting and am inspired by the work I AM NEXT is doing to make a difference. I think you will be too!
