Here are the top three stories in Charleston today: The North Charleston Police Department is conducting an investigation after discovering two people dead during a welfare check on Tuesday. Officers responded to a home on Hottinger Avenue after neighbors had not seen a certain man leave his home for several days. The man was discovered laying on the dining room floor and a woman was found lying on the bedroom floor near a firearm. (Live 5 News WCSC)The North Charleston Planning Commission is reconsidering a decades-old deed restriction that would hinder a grocery store from being added to a Centre Point development project. Reality Link is developing a project along International and Tanger Outlet Boulevards that could possibly house a new grocery store but the Planning Commission will need to rezone the area. The rezoning would cure a long-established "food desert" in the area. (Charleston Post Courier)Charleston County Public Library has partnered with the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control to distribute rapid test kits. The new partnership is needed after the department has closed most of its locations due to the current nature of the COVID-19 pandemic. Testing sites are no longer needed as much since reliable rapid test kits for at-home use are so readily available to the public.
