- PENSACOLA, Fla. -- Two months. That is how long doctors initially told Kathrine Troup she had left to live after she was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer that had spread to her spine, ribs and lymph nodes.
“I’m like, that’s a big pill to swallow,” Troup said.
In May 2026, Troup went to the emergency room with extreme back pain and was rushed into emergency surgery.
“At first, when they found out that my back was broken in four spots, the bones were like pushing on my spinal cord,” she said.
In the middle of the night, her daughter, Laken, got the call about her mom’s surgery. At the time, Laken was a junior at the University of Florida in Gainesville.
“I threw everything I could in there, threw it in the back of my truck and hauled as fast as I could,” Laken said. “I think I left my apartment at two o’clock in the morning and I got there the next morning.”
After Troup’s cancer...

- OKALOOSA COUNTY, Fla. -- Former Okaloosa County deputy Eddie Duran was found not guilty of manslaughter on Thursday in the May 2024 fatal shooting of 23-year-old Senior Airman Roger Fortson.
A jury acquitted Duran, 40, after approximately two hours of deliberation.
The trial began on Monday with jury selection. Both sides made their closing arguments Thursday morning.
Duran had faced up to 30 years in prison if convicted.
Duran shot Fortson at his apartment in Fort Walton Beach in May 2024 as he was responding to a call about a "reported disturbance" at the apartment.
Fortson answered the door with a gun in his hand, as seen on bodycam video. Duran shot Fortson five times. He died from his injuries.
Duran testified on Wednesday, saying he felt his life was in danger when he saw Fortson open the door with a gun in his hand. He claimed the gun was pointed at an "upward angle."

- NAVARRE BEACH, Fla. -- A home that's been described as dilapidated and deserted in Navarre Beach is now being turned over to the county.
For almost two decades, residents say there has been no significant movement to make repairs after the house was damaged in Hurricane Ivan.
The county won a legal battle, taking over ownership. The brick property is located on Gulf Boulevard, right past the Navarre sign.
WEAR News first reported on this back in 2019, with residents and vacationers saying it appeared abandoned.
"We always look at this one every time we come down here to see how much progress has been made on it," vacationers Lacey Sanker and Tricia Minnard said. "And not a whole lot has been made."
"We've been coming to this general area for the last five years, and always watching the different houses that go up and down, and the improvements that they've made," they said. "That's always been a beautiful house, but it's ...

- After a very dry stretch of weather in Northwest Florida, we are expecting big changes to the forecast for the beginning of the week and weekend.
We are seeing a return of the Gulf moisture in the area. This will lead to multiple heavy rounds of rain starting Thursday and lasting through Sunday.
Rain totals could reach up to 3-5" from Thursday through Sunday.
While the rain won't be nonstop, we will still have multiple heavy showers throughout the day with the chance of a thunderstorm.
We will have a risk of flash flooding with this setup, especially in areas that see multiple heavy showers over a short period of time.

Monday night, they are holding a virtual vigil to bring more awareness.
"Today's a rough day," Danielle Bell's father Matt Bell said. "It's all been a big surprise because my friends got with me and said he wanted to take me out to eat, and I had no idea any of this was going on, and then we ran into the corner, and I was like, 'What is this?'"
Danielle Bell disappeared in September 2001.

- Social media app TikTok will now have to pay millions of dollars to the state of Alabama.
This settlement comes after the state sued TikTok's parent company, alleging harms to young users.
The lawsuit was set to go to trial this week before reaching a settlement last Friday.
Alabama will receive a minimum of $100 million. The amount could go up to $300 million if certain conditions are met.
The settlement also requires new safety features like a two-hour time limit for minors 13 to 17 years old.
"This is kind of a first step down a path where it appears that there's going to be more changes implemented through the litigation process," says Evans Bailey, attorney at Rushton Stakely in Alabama.
In the initial complaint, Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall claimed the company designed its app to be addictive. The lawsuit also alleges the platform exposed children to serious mental harms.

- The world's fiscal house is not in order. Global sovereign debt reached $365 trillion in the first half of the year, according to a new report by the Institute of International Finance, more than three times the size of global GDP.
According to the International Monetary Fund, global debt was on track to reach World War II-era levels by 2028 before the Iran war. That record was broken early.
"The conflict is adding to fiscal pressures by causing a spike in energy prices, tightening financial conditions, and slowing growth, and it is unclear how long these pressures will endure," the IMF said in its annual report out this week, which described the world's fiscal picture as "highly worrisome."

- GULF BREEZE, Fla. -- A Gulf Breeze food truck is getting national recognition for what it’s putting between two slices of bread.
Cutie Patootie, a mobile deli parked at The Eatery in Gulf Breeze on Woodlawn Way, has landed on Fodor’s Travel’s list of the 10 best food trucks in the U.S.
Owner Jesse Hollett said Fodor’s contacted him ahead of the list’s release.
“Well, so Fodor’s Travel had reached out and started just asking me questions and things like that, asking for photos, things like that,” Hollett said. “I didn’t even know what they were doing. And so when the article came out, I was basically a spit take.”
Cutie Patootie started as a charcuterie truck and has been operating for two years. Hollett later added Italian sandwiches — a shift he said happened quickly once customers started asking for more.
“And then we realized that really quickly, people wanted the sandwiches that we made with ...

- PENSACOLA, Fla. -- More than 50 years after HA(L)-3 was disestablished in Vietnam, Seawolves veterans gathered in Pensacola on Friday for the dedication of a new National Naval Aviation Museum exhibit.
Known as the “Seawolves,” Helicopter Attack Squadron (Light) 3 was the Navy’s first rapid-reaction armed-helicopter squadron, its service a unique chapter in Naval Aviation history that also laid the foundation for modern operations.
For more than a decade, the Huey helicopter served the nation in the skies above Vietnam.
Bruce Borquist flew the very aircraft that's now hanging in the national Naval Aviation Musuem.
"Sometimes it wasn't so much fun, but we had a mission and we did it, we liked it, we were successful," he said Friday. "It was just a good all around experience."
The Seawolves were the only Navy squadron ever created and decommissioned in the same conflict.
During their five years of service...

- PENSACOLA, Fla. -- If your home is equipped with surveillance cameras, local law enforcement is encouraging you to register them.
Pensacola Police and the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office both have camera registries for home and business owners who want to help authorities solve crimes in their neighborhoods.
"They come in handy, letting us know what time a crime happened, how many people are involved, which way a vehicle may have left the scene," Pensacola Police Officer Mike Wood said.
The system has been in place for years. It's completely voluntary. Police can't access the video unless they have your permission.
Authorities say those home cameras now have added importance with the removal of many Flock cameras from Florida roadways.
"The police department does not have access to those cameras. All it is is information, so it's just cutting down time," Wood said. "We're not going to go in the house and look at it unl...

- DESTIN, Fla. -- Destin Mayor Bobby Wagner is out as president of the Northwest Florida League of Cities.
He resigned after an emergency vote of the board.
A source says members of the board expressed concerns about Wagner's behaviors during government meetings in his capacity as mayor.
The emergency meeting was called shortly after a joint meeting last week between Okaloosa County and Destin over control over Norriego Point.
Wagner sent WEAR News this statement Thursday morning:
"While I was blindsided by the NWFLC emergency meeting and it was difficult to hear that I’d lost the confidence of the board, I chose to resign rather than become a distraction. When I ran for office four years ago, I said my focus was to fight for and represent the people who elected me. I stand by that."
"This all came about because at a recent city-county meeting, a facilitator asked if I had any final comments, and I did. I spo...

- President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are set to meet at the White House Thursday, Sept. 24, with trade, Taiwan, Iran and artificial intelligence among the major issues expected to shape their talks.
The meeting comes as the U.S.-China relationship remains strained over tariffs, technology restrictions and security issues, while the war with Iran has added another geopolitical complication.
The U.S. Treasury Department said in April that China purchases approximately 90% of Iran's oil exports, with independent Chinese refineries accounting for most of those imports. (TNND)

- Escambia, Santa Rosa warn Amendment 3 could cut millions in counties' revenue

- Description
- Voters in Florida will be deciding on Amendment 3 in November.
If it passes with more than 60% of the vote, a homeowner's homestead exemption for property taxes would go from $50,000 now to $150,000 next year. And it'll be $250,000 in 2028.
That's how much money you could subtract from your home's assessed value, and you'd only pay taxes on the remainder. That would also translate to a major loss of revenue for local governments.
It's estimated it will cost the state $12 billion when it's fully phased in.
Escambia County estimates it would mean a $43 million/a year loss for them. Santa Rosa County estimates they'll lose $22 million. Deep cuts to services would follow.
It makes it very difficult for those governments to prepare their next budgets, as they have no idea how much money they will have to spend.
Escambia County commissioner Mike Kohler says many counties smaller than Escambia are worried they could...
