NATIONAL (WEHT) – Holiday gift returns are expected to cost retailers nearly 60 percent more this year than they did in 2020, and that cost will likely get passed onto consumers through an increase in prices.
Analysts say worker shortages and supply chain problems will make it more difficult and more costly for companies to process returns and quickly get items back on virtual shelves before they’re marked down.
INDIANA (WEHT) – Two officials within Indiana’s state government, within the same party, are at odds.
Governor Eric Holcomb is condemning Attorney General Todd Rokita over his comments about the state’s COVID numbers. In an interview with a South Bend CBS station this month, Republican Todd Rokita said he no longer believes any COVID numbers coming out of the state health department. “I don’t believe any numbers anymore. And I’m sorry about that. But they’re political here….This has been politicized since day one. I think we have to focus on whether or not people are dying anymore.”

Southern Illinois University holds memorial service to honor student killed in weekend shooting – WPSD Local 6
Multimedia Journalist
CARBONDALE, IL — The Southern Illinois University community is remembering the life of freshman Keeshanna Jackson. Police say she was shot and killed over the weekend while attending an off-campus party. Jackson was just 18 years old.
Jackson’s fellow students, SIU staff, and local faith leaders held a vigil Wednesday evening in her remembrance. The shooting was close to home for SIU senior Arnold Ukagwu.
“That literally happened three blocks from me,” Ukagwu said. “So it’s like, if that could happen there, what could potentially happen during the future? Or potentially escalate things in that area?”
SIU Associate Chancellor of Enrollment Wendell Williams wants to see Jackson’s legacy shape the university for the better.
“That we will let this tragedy serve as something that can change us, something that can change fear into focus,” Williams said to the crowd attending the vigil. “To remind ourselves to focus on our surroundings and on the things that our parents, friends, and relatives have taught us.”
Carbondale police say, so far, their investigation indicates multiple shooters were involved. Ukagwu wants whoever is responsible to turn themselves in.
“They need to be more considerate of their actionsm, because this has taken a life that could’ve been something in the future or made a potential impact in the world,” Ukagwu said. “And that they should feel very bad, and should reflect on what they’ve done.”
Police are still investigating the shooting, and no arrests have been made. Three other people were injured in the incident, including a minor.
If you have knowledge of the shooting that may help police, call the Carbondale Police Department at 618-549-2121.
