Swim advisories lifted for Buckroe, Hilton Park while warning issued for another Newport News beach https://www.pilotonline.com/2024/08/14/swim-advisories-lifted-for-buckroe-hilton-park-while-warning-issued-for-another-newport-news-beach/ Wed, 14 Aug 2024 21:56:00 +0000 https://www.pilotonline.com/?p=7310609 Swimming is now prohibited at a Newport News beach, while two popular beaches on the Peninsula have been deemed safe for swimming again.

Water samples collected at King-Lincoln Park Beach, located at 600 Jefferson Ave., showed that bacteria levels in the water exceeded the state water quality standard.

A sign is posted at the beach alerting the public of the advisory.

Meanwhile, water samples at Buckroe Beach Middle in Hampton and Hilton Park Beach in Newport News showed that water has returned to safe levels. Swimming is no longer prohibited.

These beaches were closed due to elevated levels of enterococci bacteria, which is an indicator for fecal matter. Swimming in contaminated water creates a risk of gastrointestinal illness.

1-year-old shot by another child in Hampton, police say https://www.pilotonline.com/2024/05/28/7-month-old-shot-by-another-child-in-hampton-police-say/ Tue, 28 May 2024 20:20:42 +0000 https://www.pilotonline.com/?p=7162141 A 1-year-old was shot accidentally Tuesday afternoon by another child, Hampton police said in a news release.

The child was hospitalized with what police called injuries that are not life-threatening.

Police responded to reports of a shooting just after noon in the 100 block of Clyde Street, near Roads View and Chesapeake avenues. Officers determined another juvenile accidentally shot the infant with an unsecured firearm, and the investigation is ongoing.

Anyone with information to assist police is encouraged to contact the Hampton Police Division at 757–727–6111 or the Crime Line at 1–888-LOCK-U-UP.

Correction: A correction was made on May 29, 2024: Due to incorrect information provided to The Virginian-Pilot and Daily Press, an earlier version of this article misstated the age of the child who was shot. The child is 1 year old, not 7 months old.
