Good morning, Belleville.

Evee Berentz, 18, said she was attacked by her best friends Hailey Ditzler and Olivia Brown in a video-captured assault last Friday, and the two teens—who have a history of similar attacks—were arrested on felony mob action charges after a separate incident while she filed a protection order.

Residents near large cities in Missouri and Illinois experienced unhealthy air as the American Lung Association’s latest report showed that St. Louis received an F grade for ground-level ozone—placing it 21st nationally—and a B for particle pollution.

Health professionals warn that poor air quality may cause chest tightness, wheezing, and coughing.
