You're watching 11
alive Morning News. 11 minutes
of nonstop news starts. Now we are
kicking off your 11 minutes of nonstop
news with a check on your weather,
some clouds to start your
Monday morning Chesley.
How's the day ahead looking?
Yeah, those clouds were around through
the overnight and now they're starting
to dissipate a little bit here.
You can see those clouds breaking down.
Even had some rain overnight as well,
but that's out of the way.
More that will develop.
Take a live look right now.
This is over a circle 75.
What we call the cloverleaf there and
you can see how the skies are starting
to brighten up as the sun begins to rise,
we're going to start you off with
partly sunny skies this morning.
But by the afternoon, that's when
more of those clouds will develop,
and we'll have a chance for a few of those
scattered thunderstorms popping up today.
We'll give it a 40% chance
for the rain to be around.
Temperatures will rise through
the 80s once we get toward noon,
and then beyond 88 will be our
afternoon high temperature.
But when you factor in,
the humidity is going to feel
like the 90s out there.
So dress accordingly folks
now to developments in a shooting
in Southwest Atlanta that left one
person dead and five others injured.
A child is among the victims
now fighting to survive.
Christy Diaz has the latest
from Children's Hospital.
Police are still piercing together.
How a family friendly game
at a ballpark turned deadly.
It wasn't even late at night,
only 7:00 PM.
When officers say someone started
shooting inside Rosa Bernie Park,
six people were shot,
including a 30 year old man who died
and a 6 year old who was brought
here to children's healthcare of
Atlanta Eggleston Hospital and
is still in critical condition.
Police described the other
four victims injured as stable.
There are no specifics yet on
why someone started shooting.
Police can only say.
That it was an argument that
escalated and now they are begging
people to put the guns down and find
another way to resolve an argument.
We're just asking the citizens just to find
a way to resolve conflict without weapons.
We're just asking people to, you know,
step away. We're asking people
just to let bygones be bygones.
But anytime that we have any tragedy
like this, any death is a tragedy even
as we have kids that are also involved.
Again, we're being told they were.
A lot of people out here, but again,
it's just this is not a place for gunplay.
Police confirmed there was a second
shooting outside of the park shortly
after police say they are connected,
but at this time there are no
suspects or arrests in either case,
in Atlanta, Christy Diaz. 11 Alive

five days out of school suspension.
The interim Superintendent for
De Kalb County Schools says the
district is starting the New Year
while tackling much needed repairs.
They've already made improvements
to Druid Hills High School,

broken toilets and a lot of flooding.
But Doctor Fasan Tinsley says
things are looking up,
so I think that parents and students
are going to be pleased
with what? AC.
Doctor Tinsley says it will take
times to address all the repairs,
not just at Druid Hills,
but at other schools throughout.

They proved they are among
the best in the country,
the Ben Hill elite track team
from southwest Atlanta just got
back from the Junior Olympics,
and they're celebrating a great showing.
They've come a long wait.
The parade of states was quite a way to
kick it off 21 and to the Junior Olympics
a life changing opportunity more than
300 miles from home in southwest Atlanta.
And it all started for the Tigers. I love.
This team makes me stronger and prouder.
We're getting ready to do our warm
up lap coaches and family have
known their talent and potential,
but they haven't always gotten the
accolades or attention they've
worked so hard for and deserve.
He got a special team and they need exposure.
They got it on a big time stage,
making a huge showing at the
Junior Olympics in Greensboro, NC.
Kids did amazing, but it's much bigger
than a metal or a personal best.
It's not about just track,
it's about I got another person
I can look up to.
It's about their futures.
That was true for their coaches.
It was just me and my aunt and it
was the coaches here that raised me
helping build the next generation
and experiencing that hard work
team overcoming to embrace an
opportunity really is the win with
all the adversity they still pushing.
So of the 21 kids at the junior.
Olympics there are a ton of success stories.
One stands out though there's an
8 year old who just started long
jumping six months ago, Chesley.
He just placed eighth in the nation.
Wow, a star.
Rising stars alright love it,
Cheryl. Thanks a lot.

see some showers beginning to
develop temperatures right around

high of about 88 degrees,
so just below the average but a
couple of scattered thunderstorms
will be around the forecast area.
Those winds out of the West about 8
miles an hour or less by 6:00 o'clock.
