You're watching 11 Alive
Morning News. 11 minutes of
non-stop news starts now.
We start with breaking
news right now in Buckhead.
A deadly shooting is
under investigation. Molly
Oak arrived on that scene moments ago.
And Molly, can you tell us what
are you seeing at the moment?
Well, Ariana, Cheryl,
just in the past couple of minutes,
we've already noticed police
have started to clear the scene.
But I do want to give you a look.
So we still have a couple
of officers here as well.
You can see that caution tape and
this area is completely blocked off.
There was a deadly shooting
here at Lindbergh Dr.
NE and Edina Drive Northeast
happened around 4:30 this morning.
Now officers are shutting down
nearby Piedmont to investigate.
We're also being told that officers
were investigating near Lenox Rd.
And Buford Highway.
Now there's a couple of
different things happening here.
Police believe that this
is related to another.
Shooting that happened
overnight on Peachtree,
happening hours earlier.
There was a man in that shooting.
Specifically, there was a man that
was dropped off at the hospital,
shot three times.
He was alive at our last update.
We're still working to learn
who died at this shooting,
who that person was,
getting more details and bringing
them to you both on air and online.
But right now I want to toss it over
to crash because we can see that
this intersection is shut down.
But how's this going to impact
people in their morning
commute? Yeah, Molly,
definitely going to be a big impact,
especially as you mentioned there,
if they're going to start closing off
a little bit of Piedmont as well.
This is what we're looking at right
now as far as the interstates,
just one rec 85 northbound at 985 and the
big three slowly starting to fill up.
But again, I want to get back to that
information if I can get back over to my map.
And unfortunately it doesn't
look like I will.
But as Molly mentioned,
Lindbergh is going to be closed
right between Piedmont and Adena.
And if they do that,
if indeed Piedmont is closed off,
you've got Peachtree.
That is going to be one of your
best bets for an alternate.
If you are on Piedmont Rd.
And you need to access over towards Georgia
400, you could always take Sydney Marcus.
That will get you around that
particular scene. But again,
very active right here in Buckhead,
where Molly just was.
Lindbergh Rd.
East of Piedmont near Adina Rd.
Avoid that area.
That will be closed off for a little while.
And of course,
we'll keep you up to date on all
that during the rest of the show.
Ariana.
All right, thank you, Crash.
Your time now is 649.
Each day that passes,
there's more urgency in the search.
For the person who fired dozens of shots
outside of Benjamin E Mays high School,
a 16 year old girl and
another student was wounded.
One girl died the the morning.
The reward now is higher.
Brie Asia Powell was killed,
a family friend telling us
police found more than 100 shell
casings outside of the school.
They say Brie Asia and that 16 year old
boy were caught in a blitz of bullets.
Now Crime Stoppers has increased
the reward for information
leading to an arrest to $10,000.
This morning we're working to learn more
about a deadly fire in Stone Mountain.
Here's what we know.
It happened Monday evening
at a home on Leland.
Dr.
Authorities say they found
an older man dead inside.
Officials are working to find
out what started the fire.
And this morning Lululemon is
standing by their decision to
fire to metro Atlanta women for
breaking company policy while
the store was being robbed.
They wanted to be clear,
saying in a statement that they were
not fired because they called police
during that robbery but for quote,
physically engaging with the perpetrators.
And that was a look at your Tuesday
morning headlines our meteorologist
Melissa Noor with a look at the
skies as you head out this morning.
And here's the money shot
this morning of sunrise.
It's not a blue sky morning.
We've got some clouds in
the background as well.
But today brings our first chance
in a couple of days of getting
a few showers and storms around
the metro that live look over
the top side of the perimeter.
Almost looks a little bit heavenly
outside first thing this morning.
Today's not going to be a blue sky day.
It's a mix of clouds and sunshine.
So your UV index is a 7 out of 11.
It is high.
Burn time is still 15 to 25 minutes.
So even though we will see some clouds
mixing in with that sunshine still do
not forget to reapply the sunscreen.
But at this point we need rain.
Let's talk about this,
The last week alone we picked up
11 hundredths of an inch of rain.
The month of May, we have a rain deficit.
You see that negative right there of
nearly one and 3/4 of an inch of rainfall.
So much so this month's been dry that
now our whole year has a rain deficit.
Are we going to see rain the
next couple days?
Some of us will,
large majority of us do not though.
Here's the rain forecast,
big picture through Thursday afternoon.
You see some areas might get a little bit,
but most of us do not.
Unfortunately,
that's the pattern we are going to
be in for the rest of the work week.
Each day brings a 20% chance of
a popup shower or thunderstorm,
meaning a couple of us might get lucky
and get some rain in the backyard.
Most of us don't.
You're gonna have to start watering
the gardens, watering the yards.
Things are getting a little
bit dry out there.
Especially those hydrangeas are
wilting over in that sunshine
in the afternoons for today.
Partly cloudy to start off for some of us.
Into the afternoon after this
refreshing start to the day we
warm up into the 80s and that plus
slightly higher humidity than the
weekend will help to spark off
that 20% chance of a popup shower
or storm You notice here at 12:00.
O'clock still mostly dry,
but anywhere afternoon we could
already start to see some of
those developing and they will
be moving towards the West.
Most of us stay dry,
don't count on the rain impacting your plans.
But that's the pattern we'll be in today.
Tomorrow very similar.
Start the day in the 60s,
in the morning, little patchy
fog out there into the afternoon,
back to the 80s.
Couple showers and storms.
Most of us do not see rain.
Wind Thursday rather very similar.
We start the day in the 60s.
In the afternoon it will be in the low 80s,
few showers and storms,
but most of us do not see that rainfall.
So a little warmer this week ahead
than we saw over the weekend with
just a few showers and thunderstorms.
Another great vantage point of that
sunrise this morning from the top
of Northside Hospital in Atlanta.
Right now it's 61, some of our suburbs
refreshing in the 50s to start us off,
54 in Peachtree City,
58 in Marietta For the pool today,
20% chance of a shower.
Don't count on it, just reply the sunscreen.
Keep an. Are open,
but most of us will not see that
thunderstorm activity impacting your plans.
82 My forecast high today.
We stay in the 80s for the rest of the week,
a little warmer over the weekend.
The start of summer break brings
challenges for families who rely
on meals provided in school.
Gwinnett County's meal program
begins this morning. 11 lives.
Christy Diaz has more for us.
Christy help is on the way.
It is for at least 180,000 kids.
That's how many they expect to
feed this summer and they're
sad that the need is that high.
But they're grateful they can fill
that need and they've done everything
they can to make it accessible and
easy for families to pick up this food.
They have coordinated 21 different drive
up locations throughout the county.
The hope is that one of these
locations will be close to a family
in need so they can pick it up
without being inconvenienced.
Anyone 18 and under can get a meal.
You don't have to present any information.
When you come pick it up and you
don't even have to eat it on site,
you can grab it and go.
The program kicks off today.
Pickups are Monday through Friday from 11:00
to 1:00 at 21 locations around the county,
and they'll even be open on the
holidays through August 1st.
Guys, back to you.
All right, Thank you. Christy.
This morning we're getting a fresh
look at the work to remove the remains
of the collapsed crane in Midtown.
It's day eight of repairs and cleanup,
and four workers were injured in
that collapse and almost 1000 people
displaced from nearby apartments.
We spoke to some residents of
that tins on West Complex who
say they still cannot go home.
As of right now,
Fire and Rescue hasn't given a
timeline to get it cleared and get
people back into their apartments.
New for you this morning an effort
to get fresh veggies and fruits
to De Kalb families returns
to its pre Pandemic setup,
letting local shop and get a big discount.
Liza Lucas has more for us.
Liza this is a game changer
for a lot of people.
Yes,
fresh healthy food and essential for all.
And eating
healthier can now be easier
thanks to this mobile market.
Fresh on Deck is what
we're talking about here.
It makes stops in areas.
Of the cab that are considered food deserts.
That means families lack easy
access to fresh and healthy foods.
Now the market sets up shop near libraries,
senior centers, community centers,
eliminating barriers like transportation.
The benefit is going to the person
who needs the food instead of
like having them have to come to
you so that that gets rid of the
distance they have to travel.
Now, if you also join that weekly online
nutrition class that they offered,
you can get a voucher to shop.
One woman I shopped with walked away
with a full bag of produce for $0.58,
so check out the details online.
All right. And first thing this morning,
sunrise. A beautiful start to
the day and it's a cool start
in some of our suburbs who were
still in the 50s out the door,
but this afternoon 82 the forecast high.
You've seen a lot of sunshine out there
right now there's only a 20% chance
of a popup shower or thunderstorm.
So it looks mostly dry.
Where this outdoor plans crash
minimal traffic this morning we're
going to enjoy a little bit of that
summer mode but we're going to keep you
up to date here on this breaking news.
A person killed overnight in a shooting.
Police continue to keep Lindbergh.
Or just east of Piedmont Rd.
near Edina shut down completely.
You got plenty of ways to get
around this thing. Marasco Dr.
Sydney, Marcus Blvd.
That'll all get you where you need to be.
1 little hot spot clearing it's off
to the right, 85 northbound at 985.
Not seeing any huge delays
and well there you go,
Big three just kind of waking
up a little bit more like 85.
Waking up 75 and 400 looking good.
And even that downtown connector
with that nice little sunrise
Melissa's been telling us about.
That is a beautiful shot crash all right.
So it may not be.
Up there with a trip to the beach
or cooking out in the backyard.
