Good morning, Bentonville. Here's your local news at a glance for Sunday, the 13th of July.

COMMUNITY NEWS

  • The Scott Family Amazeum in Bentonville celebrated its 10th anniversary yesterday with STEAM activities, live music, and free admission for 10-year-olds with an adult ticket.

CRIME NEWS

  • An unnamed Benton County resident said he was driving back from the gym a little before 1 a.m. on Friday when he saw 41-year-old Kevin Nikel who had been shot, and when a man threw a pistol near his car he stopped to help by applying pressure, giving water, and calling 911 while speaking with police for about four hours—he later learned that Nikel died.  4029 News
