Good morning, Belleville.

Belleville man Elijah Thompson is charged with multiple counts of attempted murder and aggravated battery after he shot three Fairview Heights officers when they responded at 11 p.m. Saturday to a prowler report on Potomac Drive — one officer faces surgery for a jaw injury while the other two were treated and released.

Southern Illinois University Edwardsville admitted an error that led to Carter Schmith’s family receiving a $17,500 bill after his sophomore year because his financial aid package was calculated with incorrect FAFSA data—at least 12 students have been affected, and the school is working to correct the mistake.

The Illinois Housing Development Authority conditionally awarded more than $50 million to fund seven permanent supportive housing projects statewide that will add 129 affordable units and provide essential services for vulnerable residents — including a project in Belleville.

Governor Pritzker said the funding will help give those at risk stable, independent housing without leaving anyone behind.

Belleville West's ace pitcher Kara Kramer has posted a 5-5 record in 73 innings and noted her team recovered after early errors—she believes a strong final week will boost their playoff chances—Her team stands at 13-13 and looks to secure a postseason spot with its next games.
