Some more big bank news: First Citizens Bank has announced that it is buying Silicon Valley Bank, with seventeen former SVB locations reopening today under First Citizens. This rescue follows the shutdown of SVB on March 10 ago by the FDIC, which was the second-largest bank failure in history (after the collapse of Washington Mutual in 2008).
On another note, watch out if you live in the Philadelphia area! A recent chemical spill in the Delaware River has residents on high alert, and officials say that bottled water is the safer option for now. This happened after a latex product spilled into the water, containing multiple harmful chemicals, including butyl acrylate (a chemical from the East Palestine, Ohio train wreck earlier this year), so make sure to avoid tap water if you live near Philadelphia or near the Delaware River.
Lastly, there was just another school shooting in Nashville, Tennessee, where a 28-year-old female suspect entered the private Christian school with two assault rifles and a handgun, killing three 9-year-olds, a custodian, a substitute teacher, and the principal. The suspect has been found to be Audrey Hale, who was an alum of the school. He was killed by officers soon after killing the three children and three adults.
