The top local stories this morning from the KERA Newsroom: The deadly attack on a prayer group in Charleston, South Carolina is a sober reminder for one Fort Worth congregation. Wedgwood Baptist Church was attacked by a lone gunman in 1999.

And this week’s Friday Conversation is all about barbecue. Aaron Franklin, head of iconic Franklin’s BBQ in Austin, talks about his new PBS show and mistakes he made cooking brisket.

You can listen to North Texas stories weekdays at 8:20 a.m. and 6:20 p.m. on KERA 90.1 FM. 

Former KERA staffer Krystina Martinez was an assistant producer. She produced local content for Morning Edition and KERANews.org. She also produced The Friday Conversation, a weekly series of conversations with North Texas newsmakers. Krystina was also the backup newscaster for the Texas Standard.
