Good morning. Today is Wednesday, July 24th. I’m Kaitlin Bellamy, and this is your daily briefing from the Wichita Eagle. It’ll be a repeat of yesterday, with highs again in the 80s. Skies will be mostly sunny, with slight winds. Our top story is: A boy who shot and killed his drunken mom will plead not guilty and argue in juvenile court that he was legally defending himself and his brother, according to his attorney.
