First up, we have a tough headline today. You may be hearing the name Tyre Nichols this week. He was a 29-year-old black man who was arrested by the Memphis Police. During the arrest, the police beat Nichols and he later died from his injuries. Five Memphis police officers were fired and now have been charged. They will have to go to trial to talk about what happened. Officials are wondering why it took so long before anyone tried to help Tyre. We think the police are supposed to protect us and keep us safe. But, it's also important to keep your community safe from violent acts by the police. There's always something that can be done to help when tragedies like this happen, like Mr. Rogers said, look for the helpers. Check-in with your grownups if you have questions, and you can always reach out to us at The Ten News to share your feelings.

Next up, in literal world news. Did you wave to any asteroids lately? Last week, an asteroid the size of a minibus passed by earth within 2,200 miles. That's closer than some satellites and much closer than the moon. The asteroid was discovered by an amateur astronomer only two weeks ago but scientists say even if it had been on a collision course with Earth, it would have burnt up in the atmosphere.
