1. A visitation service is now set for the UW-Platteville student who was shot and killed inside a dorm this week. They're calling it "A Visitation of Remembrance" for Kelsie Martin.
The service is next Friday in Beloit, Martin's hometown. Meanwhile, we're also learning more about the 22-year-old. Martin was a 20-21 graduate of FJ Turner High School. She had just graduated Summa Cum Laude from Platteville over the weekend. Martin was very smart, a member of the National Honor Society in Psychology, and the National Society of Leaders. She was also the Assistant Resident Director and President of the Psychology Club. Her plan was to pursue a Masters of Social Work at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater in the Fall. Martin was also described as compassionate, caring, and someone who enjoyed helping others. Martin's obituary "She was the sweetest and a true ray of sunshine who will be deeply missed. She was everything good in this world." Police say Martin was shot and killed in Wilgus Hall on Monday. She died after being rushed to UW Hospital in Madison. Investigators say the other student involved, 22-year-old Hallie Helms of Baraboo, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. No word yet on a possible motive.
2. Millions of Americans are getting a jump on the Memorial Day weekend today, loading into their cars or boarding jetliners bound for holiday destinations. The national average price of a gallon of gasoline is projected to be $3.08 on Memorial Day, according to GasBuddy. Last year, the average cost of a gallon of unleaded was $3.58. The average cost of a gallon in Wisconsin is $3.03.
3. Starting today, pharmacies can no longer make cheaper, generic versions of weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy. They were allowed to before today, due to short supply. On the same day, this federal deadline arrives, a Danish drugmaker just announced it will temporarily reduce the price of the weight-loss drug Wegovy for new customers, because it's trying to limit sales of the compounded versions. While pharmacies can no longer make those cheaper versions, there's obviously still a supply out there to be bought.
