What's making news in Baton Rouge...

with Matthew Albright | Assistant metro editor 

The dust is still settling after the chaos at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday. After debating well into the night, Congress eventually certified Joe Biden as the winner of the presidential election. You can read here about how our senators and representatives voted yesterday. 

But the rest of the world keeps turning, and we've got it covered. There's a small — but non-zero! — chance that our region could get snow, or at least a "wintry mix" this weekend. A confrontation over guns in a Gonzales-area home ended when a man shot his dad and the family dog. And we're getting a deeper look at the coaches LSU has hired to rebuild its offense. 

Thank you for reading. If you're a subscriber, we appreciate your support; if you're considering becoming one, we've got special offers for you right here. 

Have a great afternoon!
