Police report 3 fatalities, including shooter, in Arkansas party shooting
Three people were tragically killed and several others injured in a shooting at a party in Arkansas early on Sunday, according to police reports. The shooter, who has not yet been publicly identified, was among the deceased, along with a man and a woman who were acquaintances of the shooter.
The incident took place at a private party on Burke Avenue in Jonesboro, but authorities have not disclosed any details about what may have led to the shooting. Five people were also injured in the incident, with three of the wounded victims having no known connection to the suspect. One injured woman did have a connection to the suspect, but it was not specified whether the fifth injured victim knew the suspect. The severity of the victims’ injuries has not been disclosed by officials.
The Jonesboro Police Department has not released the identities of any of the victims involved in the shooting. Officers responded to the scene shortly before 5 a.m, where they closed off traffic in the area and conducted interviews with witnesses. Fortunately, authorities believe that there is no ongoing threat to the community following the incident.
Jonesboro is located about a two-hour drive northeast of Little Rock, Arkansas, and is typically a peaceful community. The news of this tragic shooting has undoubtedly shaken the residents of Jonesboro and the surrounding area.
As the investigation into the shooting continues, the community and law enforcement officials are left searching for answers and trying to make sense of this senseless act of violence. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families and loved ones of all those affected by this tragedy.
This heartbreaking incident serves as a reminder of the ongoing issue of gun violence in our society and the importance of coming together as a community to support one another in times of crisis. We must work towards creating a safer environment for all individuals and strive towards a future free of such devastating events.

Further Support for Gravitational Wave Background in the Universe
The discovery of the gravitational wave background in 2016 marked a significant milestone in our understanding of the Universe. This groundbreaking discovery was further validated by the release of a second data set from the European Pulsar Timing Array, along with the addition of data from the Indian Pulsar Timing Array. These complementary studies have provided more evidence for the existence of the gravitational wave background, shedding light on the cosmic phenomena that shape our universe.
Gravitational waves are ripples in spacetime that are generated by violent processes such as merging black holes and colliding neutron stars. Predicted by Einstein in 1916 as part of his General Theory of Relativity, these waves have the ability to travel through space, largely unimpeded by any obstacles in their path. The first detection of gravitational waves in 2015 by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) confirmed their existence, originating from a gravitational merger between two black holes located 1.3 billion light years away.
The recent confirmation of the gravitational wave background by the European and Indian Pulsar Timing Arrays indicates that we are detecting a combined signal from the mergers of supermassive black holes. This random distribution of gravity waves that permeates the Universe offers a new avenue for studying the cosmos, akin to the Cosmic Background Radiation. The collaborative efforts of various observatories and research institutions have enabled us to delve deeper into the mysteries of the Universe.
Utilizing pulsar timing arrays as galaxy-sized detectors, researchers have been able to monitor and analyze the pulse arrival times of galactic pulsars on Earth. By detecting subtle patterns in these signals, they can uncover the presence of the gravitational wave background. The latest study led by J. Antoniadis from the Institute of Astrophysics in Greece delves into the implications of the low-frequency signals observed in the recent data releases from various pulsar timing array systems.
The accumulation of data from multiple sources has provided undeniable evidence for the existence of the gravitational wave background. With ongoing Pulsar Timing Array projects, the signals of the low-frequency gravity waves will become more distinct, offering a wealth of opportunities to explore the Universe in this novel way. The focus now shifts towards interpreting these signals to unlock the secrets of the cosmos.
