Former student helps school counselor who was nearly killed in car crash * Snap is launching a competitor to TikTok and Instagram Reels * Boombox Santa lifts spirits across Rhode Island!

The Ferguson Police Department is searching for two men accused of crashing into a school counselor with a stolen car. Sharon Paulette-Selvey said she’s worked in the Ferguson-Florissant School District for over 20 years.

Snap on Monday announced the launch of Spotlight, a Snapchat feature that functions like TikTok and Instagram Reels. Spotlight will show users the top snaps that have been submitted for consideration by the app’s more than 249 million daily users in a feed that they can swipe or tap through. Spotlight snaps will play in a continuous loop until users swipe to the next one.

A little more than a week ago, a mysterious man that looks a lot like Santa made a debut at an intersection in South County.

Keeping his social distance, he brings his boom box with him wherever he goes.

He plays Christmas tunes out loud while waving at those who pass by and wishing them a Merry Christmas.
