WELL , TODAY STUDENTS AT
PLYMOUTH MIDDLE SCHOOL ARE IN
DISTANCE LEARNING AFTER SOON
FIRED A GUN INSIDE THE SCHOOL.
NO ONE WAS HURT, BUT COUNSELING
IS BEING PROVIDED TO THE
STUDENTS AFTER THEIR TRAUMATIC
DAY. JENNIFER AUSTIM JOINS US
LIVE FROM OUTSIDE THE SCHOOL
THIS MORNING WITH WHAT WE KNOW
ABOUT THE INVESTIGATION.
>> JEN, YEAH, THIS MORNING WE
DON'T KNOW WHO THE STUDENT IS OR
WHY THEY FIRED THE GUN, BUT WE
DO KNOW THEY FIRED SHOTS AT
A HALLWAY CEILING, PROMPTING
THE SCHOOL TO GO INTO LOCKDOWN.
THE SUPERINTENDENT SAID
THAT WHEN THE SHOTS WERE FIRST
FIRED, A STAFF MEMBER RESPONDED
FIRST, FOLLOWED BY THE SCHOOL
RESOURCE OFFICER . THE PLYMOUTH
POLICE SPOKESPERSON SAYS BY
THE TIME THEY ENCOUNTERED
THE STUDENT, THEY WERE ALREADY
UNARMED AND COMPLIANT.
THAT STUDENT WAS TAKEN INTO
CUSTODY, BUT NEITHER THE SCHOOL
OR POLICE WILL NAME THEM BECAUSE
OF PRIVACY GUIDELINES AFTER THIS
HAPPENED. PARENTS WERE REUNITED
WITH THEIR CHILDREN AT
A SEPARATE LOCATION. EVERYONE
WAS RUNNING . I JUST STOOD THERE
AND SAID, MOM, THERE WAS
A SHOOTING AND I'M IN A ROOM
AND I'M SAFE.
>> I KNOW HE'S SAFE, BUT I JUST
WANT TO HUG SCARY
,SCARY
,SCARY MOMENTS FOR THOSE PARENTS. AS WE SAID, STUDENTS
HERE AT PLYMOUTH MIDDLE SCHOOL
IN DISTANCE LEARNING TODAY,
TOMORROW WOULD HAVE BEEN A DAY
IN WHICH THEY NORMALLY WOULD
HAVE STUDIED OFFSITE ANYWAY. SO
PANDEMIC.
THE
THE FIRST
THE FIRST DAY THAT THEY'LL BE BACK HERE ON CAMPUS IS THURSDAY.
>> YEAH, A LOT OF QUESTIONS
TO US, ONE THAT PEOPLE MAY NOT
GET THE ANSWERS TO .
>> JENNIFER , THANK YOU.
BUT SWITCHING GEARS THIS
MORNING TO THE RACE TO END THIS
PANDEMIC.
PANDEMIC.
PANDEMIC. >> HERE ARE THREE THINGS
THAT YOU NEED TO KNOW.
THE MARSHALL SCHOOL DISTRICT
IN SOUTHWESTERN MINNESOTA SAYS
A FIRST GRADER THERE HAS DIED
FROM COMPLICATIONS FROM
COVID-19. MDH SAYS THREE KIDS
UNDER 18 HAVE DIED FROM
THE VIRUS SINCE THE START OF THE
PANDEMIC. THE US PLANS TO SHIP
ITS STOCKPILE OF MILLIONS
OF ASTRAZENECA DOSES OVERSEAS
ONCE IT CLEARS THE FDA'S REVIEW.
IT'S PART OF OUR EFFORT TO HELP
OTHER COUNTRIES THAT DON'T HAVE
ENOUGH DOSES FOR MASS
VACCINATIONS. NEW THIS MORNING ,
THE FDA IS REVIEWING THE PFIZER
VACCINE AGE BRACKET AND IF IT
SHOULD INCLUDE KIDS AS YOUNG AS
12, ANY INFECTIOUS DISEASE
AND VACCINATION EXPERTS AT
CHILDREN'S MINNESOTA TELLS US AN
ANNOUNCEMENT COULD COME AS EARLY
AS THIS WEEK.
>> OH, FOR SUNRISERS. LIVE FROM
THE WHITE HOUSE THIS
MORNING WHERE PRESIDENT JOE
BIDEN IS EXPECTED TO MAKE A BIG
ANNOUNCEMENT TODAY ON THE
COVID-19 PANDEMIC WHEN IT COMES
TO WEARING MASKS NOW. BYE BYE.
NOW WE ALL KNOW THE IMPORTANCE
OF WEARING MASKS AROUND OTHER
PEOPLE, BUT TODAY THE CDC MAY
OFFER SOME NEW GUIDANCE WHEN IT
COMES ARE WEARING MASKS
OUTDOORS. THIS IMPACTS EVERY
SINGLE ONE OF US. SO HERE'S WHAT
WE KNOW ABOUT IT THIS MORNING .
ACCORDING TO NBC NEWS , THE CDC
IS WORKING ON RMASK WEARING
GUIDANCE FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN
FULLY VACCINATED AS WELL AS
THOSE WHO HAVE NOT. THE NATION'S
TOP INFECTIOUS DISEASE EXPERT,
DR. ANTHONY FAUCI, HINTED ABOUT
THE CHANGES IN A RECENT
INTERVIEW. THE RISK OF INFECTION
OUTSIDE IS REALLY MINIMAL. IF
YOU'RE VACCINATED AND YOU'RE
OUTSIDE, IT'S EVEN LESS SO WE'RE
GOING TO BE DOING THROUGH.
THE CDC IS SOON. VERY SOON
CLARIFYING THE SITUATION VISIBLY
MASKS IN VACCINATED VERSUS
UNVACCINATED PEOPLE. SO STAY
TUNED.
TUNED.
TUNED. >>
TUNED. >> IT'S COMING. COMING HOPEFULLY
TODAY. NOW, RIGHT NOW, THE CDC
GUIDELINES STATE THAT MASKS MAY
NOT BE NECESSARY WHEN YOU'RE
OUTSIDE YOURSELF, AWAY FROM
OTHERS OR WITH PEOPLE WHO LIVE
IN YOUR HOUSEHOLD. BUT IT GOES
ON TO SAY THAT THERE MAY BE
CITY, COUNTY OR STATE ORDINANCES
THAT REQUIRE RMASK USE, EVEN
OUTDOORS. DR. VELSHI ALSO SAID
THAT THE COUNTRY IS GOING
TO REACH A TURNING POINT IN
THE PANDEMIC IN JUST WEEKS
IF
IF THE
IF THE CURRENT PACE OF VACCINATION CONTINUES.
AND AGAIN, WE SHOULD HEAR MORE
FROM PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN LATER
TODAY. BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE
TALKING ABOUT THIS ONE. YEAH,
A LOT OF PEOPLE WANT TO HEAR IT,
TOO. I'M CURIOUS, THOUGH,
BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE ALREADY KIND
OF DO THE RESPECTFUL THING WHERE
THEY KIND OF WEAR THEIR MASK
OVER THEIR FACE , WALK BY
SOMEONE, THEY PUT IT BACK ON .
AND IF THAT'S GOING TO STAY OR
NOT, AFTER THIS ANNOUNCEMENT.
>> ALL RIGHT, ALISHA , THANKS.
>> NOW HERE'S A LOOK AT TODAY'S
OTHER TOP STORIES IN YOUR
MORNING RUSH. MINNEAPOLIS POLICE
ARE INVESTIGATING A SHOOTING
THAT LEFT THREE PEOPLE HURT,
INCLUDING BABY. OFFICERS BELIEVE
IT HAPPENED IN THE EIGHTEEN
HUNDRED BLOCK OF LOWRY AVENUE
NORTH. TWO ADULTS DROVE
THEMSELVES TO NORTH MEMORIAL
MEDICAL CENTER AFTER BEING SHOT.
A BABY IN THE CAR ALSO HAD
INJURIES FROM BULLET FRAGMENTS
AND BROKEN GLASS. EVERYONE IS
EXPECTED TO BE OK. TEXAS
OFFICIALS ARE NOW ASKING FOR A
POSTHUMOUS PARDON FOR GEORGE
FLOYDS, TWO FOR DRUG CHARGE.
FLOYD SPENT 10 MONTHS IN JAIL
AFTER FORMER POLICE
OFFICER GERALD GOINS ARRESTED
HIM FOR SELLING CRACK COCAINE .
INVESTIGATORS NOW SAY GOINS LIED
ABOUT EVIDENCE THROUGHOUT HIS
CAREER. THE HARRIS COUNTY
DISTRICT ATTORNEY SAYS SHE
SUPPORTS THE PARDON. ELIZABETH
CITY, NORTH CAROLINA IS UNDER
A STATE OF EMERGENCY. THIS AFTER
FEARS OF VIOLENT UNREST
FOLLOWING ANDREW BROWN. JR.'S
DEATH. FORTY TWO YEAR OLD BROWN
WAS SHOT AND KILLED BY A POLICE
OFFICER YESTERDAY. THE BROWN
FAMILY WAS ABLE TO SEE 20
SECONDS OF THE POLICE BODY CAM
FOOTAGE OF THE INCIDENT. NOW
THEY'RE CALLING IT AN EXECUTION
AND THE T WOLVES TAKING DOWN
THE TOP TEAM IN THE WESTERN
CONFERENCE. THE UTAH JAZZ
DEANGELO RUSSELL GIVES
THE WOLVES THE LEAD WITH JUST
FOUR SECONDS LEFT. THE JAZZ TRY
TO GET OFF A FINAL SHOT,
BUT TURN THE BALL OVER INSTEAD.
WOLVES WIN ONE OF FIVE TO ONE
FOR THE T. WOLVES ARE NOW
HEADING TO HOUSTON TO TAKE
ON THE ROCKETS TONIGHT AT EIGHT.
THAT'S YOUR TUESDAY MORNING RUSH
NIGHT WAS OUR TUESDAY.
>> ONE THING WHETHER. YEAH, YOU
KNOW, WE HAVE WET WEATHER IN THE
FORECAST , ESPECIALLY BY
THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. BUT I
WANT TO LOOK AT LIVE RADAR RIGHT
NOW. GLYNCO JUST OFF TO THE WEST
OF IT, REDWOOD FALLS, LAFAYETTE
AREA. THINK SOME LIGHT MODERATE
RAIN. MANKATO ALSO TAPPING IN TO
SOME LIGHT SHOWERS AT THIS TIME
AS WELL . GOOD NEWS . IT'S DRY
AROUND THE TWIN CITIES METRO AS
OF NOW AND THE CRASH ALONG ONE
SIXTY NINE LIJKELY ROAD JUST
CLEARED MOMENTS AGO OF FIGHTING
OFF
OFF ALLERGIES. >> THIS TIME OF YEAR, IT CAN BE
REALLY TOUGH, BUT IMPROVING YOUR
HOME'S AIR QUALITY CAN MAKE
A REALLY BIG DIFFERENCE. SO
FIRST OF ALL, ALTHOUGH MAYBE
REALLY NICE OUTSIDE WHEN THEY
CAN'T CALL IT A POLLEN COUNT IS
HIGH . KEEP YOUR WINDOWS CLOSED.
THAT KEEPS ALLERGENS OUTSIDE
WHERE THEY BELONG. ANOTHER EASY
FIX YOU COULD DO IS SWAP OUT
YOUR AIR FOR AIR FILTER AIR
FILTERS, TRAP POLLEN DUST
AND PET DANDER. BUT AFTER
A WHILE THEY CAN GET ALL CLOGGED
UP , OPTING FOR HEPA OR
HIGH EFFICIENCY PARTICULATE AIR
FILTER IS GOING TO GIVE YOU
THE BEST PROTECTION. YOU CAN
ALSO INVEST IN A VERY NICE
DEDICATED AIR PURIFIER. THESE
ARE GOING TO RUNNING A LITTLE
MORE MONEY, BUT THAT INVESTMENT
CAN HAVE SOME BIG RESULTS
AND ONE COMPLETELY FREE OPTION,
ONE THAT WE CAN ALL GET BEHIND
IS CLEAN YOUR VACUUM THIS TIME
OF YEAR. THEY TEND TO GET A LOT
OF USE AND A DIRTY VACUUM CAN
SERVE ALL SORTS OF ALLERGENS
AND MAKE YOUR SNIFFLING
AND SNEEZING EVEN WORSE. SO
EVERY MODEL, OF COURSE, IS
A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. SO CHECK
THE MANUFACTURER INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE YOU TAKE PART YOUR ENTIRE
VACUUM TO SWITCH OUT
THAT FILTER. BUT ALL GOOD, GOOD
ADVICE.
ADVICE.
ADVICE. >> YEAH, I GOT A TIP TOO.
WHY DON'T YOU WEAR A MASK
THAT MIGHT HELP . THAT'S GOOD.
>> BUT PEOPLE'S EYES THEY STILL
GET ITCHY EYES. ARE YOU EYES
TOO. WHEN YOU'RE NOT COMING
AND YOU'RE WORKING HARD YOU
START SWEATING, YOU KNOW YOU
REALLY VACUUMING.
REALLY VACUUMING. >> ALL RIGHT. TO THANKFULLY
EIGHT, SIX, NINE .
>> NOW THE PROSECUTION DARE
CHAUVIN'S TRIAL TELLS US WHAT
TOOK TO GET A CONVICTION INSIDE
ON THEIR STRATEGY AND THE
PRESSURES SURROUNDING
PRESSURES SURROUNDING THE TRAGEDY.
THE TRAGEDY. >> THEN WE TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT
STUDENTS ARE BENEFITING FROM
LEARNING FROM HOME AND WHAT
FUTURE CLASSROOMS COULD LOOK
LIKE AT SOME SCHOOLS. AND A
MINNESOTA SUPERSTAR IS BARING
