You're watching 11 Alive Morning News.
11 minutes of nonstop news starts now.
First this morning, young people
would have to head home or earlier if
City Council passes a new ordin.
We have a look at a possible new
youth curfew in Atlanta and why
some say it is so important.
Another round of scatter shower.
Thunderstorms will pop up again
this afternoon. Will it last for
the rest of the week? I'll let u
know in the full forecast coming
up. Plus, we've got a look at
the first horror film based on
Lake Lanier's dark history. Hous
from now, the Atlanta City Counl
will revive the issue of a citye
curfew for kids under the age of 1611.
Alives Ariana Manise is outside
Atlanta City Hall this morning.
The council wants an earlier cu,
but how much earlier? We talking Ariana?
Well, the plan is to start this
curfew three hours earlier,
and today we expect the entire
City Council to decide how to me
forward with this matter after t
passes first hurdle last week wn
it was unanimously approved by e
council's Public Safety Committ.
Now, this new proposal for a new curfew
would apply to teens 16 and und.
And that means when they're out in public
after 9:00 PM on Fridays and Saturdays,
they'll have to be with an
adult and for during the week.
From Sunday to Thursday it wille
at 8:00 PM now the current curfw
in Atlanta that's set for midnit
on Friday and Saturday and 11:00
PM Sunday through Thursday.
Now council they will also consider an
ordinance to remove a $1000 finr
violating the curfew and set required
attendance at certain educational programs.
Now this renewed push for an ear
curfew comes after six year old
bridge of Powell was shot and killed.
And this plan will initially gan
momentum after the shooting deah
of two teens near Atlantic Stat.
Now,
the meeting is expected to start at 1:00 PM,
where the entire City Council
will consider this ordinance.
And you can expect for us to gie
you the outcome of this vote on
air as well as online.
Back to you.
All
right, Ariana. Thank you.
Time now, 649, here's what's happening.
Now we are working to learn
more after a deadly shooting at
a southwest Atlanta apartment
complex. Yeah, police tell us
two people were shot there just
minutes after police got on.
On the scene they heard even
more gunshots coming from the
other side of the complex.
You can see in this video after police
heard that they took off runnin,
scrambling to go investigate.
We are still working to learn if
anyone was hurt from that second
round of gunfire.
Right now police are still searg
for 19 year old Christian Houst.
He allegedly shot and
killed a 38 year old man.
There was a standoff for seven
hours at that house until
police got inside the home and
realized Houston was not inside.
The new horror trailer for film based
on Lake Lanier has been release.
The film focuses on the lake,
which was once a black town cald
Oscarville that changed after te
death of a white woman back in .
It led to mobs driving out
the black community and the
rest of the town was flooded.
The film will be out in
September on September 1st.
That was a look at your top headlines,
Chesley. All right,
we're looking at some showers
rolling out and rolling in.
In fact, we had some showers overnight,
now starting to pull away from .
Moving up further to the north d
then more now starting to rotatn
the shower could break out at anytime.
But more likely,
once we get toward the afternoo,
we'll have some scattered showers popping up,
I think around the noon hour,
and then a few embedded thunderstorms
will start developing some of t.
As we head into further into the
afternoon with the daytime heat,
look out for some fog folks.
If you're traveling around,
you got 0 visibility in some sp,
one mile visibility or
Clayton got it in Duluth,
I got five mile visibility over into parts
of Carrollton was down to 0 not long ago,
down to two miles visibility
over toward Thomas.
And so it's a little patchy on the outside
and not very widespread temperature wise.
We're in the 70s and a lot of ss
starting off this morning on the mild
side like Conyers at 7170 and l.
Down toward McDonough and Locust Grove.
Covington, the same.
You're right at 69 degrees in Newnan, 70.
At Peachtree City,
and up toward Fayetteville,
69 degrees Chattahoochee Hills,.
Also in Marietta.
Powder Springs at 66.
Here at 68 degrees in Acworth, Dallas.
Over in Paulding County.
Here at 6771 degrees in
Tucker and de Kalb County.
Looking at 71 downtown Atlanta
and 70 right now in East Point.
So a nice mild start for us will
be warming up this afternoon.
Not as high as we should be.
83 degrees your afternoon high temperature.
We should be in the upper
80s this time of year.
Yeah, shorts and short sleeves.
You could do that for this afternoon,
but noted that we'll be on the soggy side.
Kids will just look out on the o
and splash their feet around a little
bit and and some of that soggy because
you won't get rain all day long Again,
it'll be spotty.
It'll be scattered showers hered
there And where we have some of those
thunderstorms look out for somey
heavy rain coming down upper level low,
spinning around.
You see a counterclockwise spin right here,
this up toward eastern Tennesse.
I think that's going to meander
around just a little bit.
So it's going to hold us.
In that sagginess for the next
couple of days at the surface,
we have stationary boundary here now that
will be pushing over toward the east,
but again it's that upper level
low that will be pesky for us
over the next couple of days.
There's a light green shade over
much of the state that just meaa
general threat for thunderstorm.
The severe weather threat is well down
to the South of us over the soun
portions of the state into Flor.
The slight risk for severe weatr
or a little higher chance back
off to our South and West.
So general thunderstorms is
what we can expect around here
as we head into the afternoon.
There you have it by noon got te
isolated showers starting to pop
up again a few embedded thunder.
Storms will drop some brief heavy rain
on you, and this is going to bee
case over the next couple of da.
We'll start off with the clouds,
some light showers and then during the
afternoon, scattered thundersto.
We'll do it again on Thursday.
By Friday it starts to go down a
40% chance for that rain to be around,
and then we're looking at a 20%
chance by the time we hit Satur,
Sunday, less than a 10% chance.
And notice as the rain threat goes down,
the temperatures start to go up
85 on Saturday, Sunday up to 88,
where we should be for this time of year.
This is Jerry Carnes live outsie
Children's Healthcare of Atlantt
Scottish Rite in Sandy Springs e

The Juneteenth holiday may havee
to an end, but right now there s
still a focus on the future of longterm
racial reconciliation and justi.
Fulton County's Board of Commissioners
and their task force is now loog
into reparations by investigating and
digging up proof of racial crimes and
other atrocities against generas
of black people in Fulton Count,
beginning with slavery.
So some of this information that
we're that we're finding out,
Sir, it's hurtful, it's harmful,
this is destruction of families,
it's destruction of generations.
We have to work towards making people whole.
Earlier this year,
the Fulton County Commission vod
to give its reparations Task foe
$250,000 to conduct the investigation
into who should get reparations,
how much they should get and whe
the county would find the money.
Their goal was to complete that
report by October 2024.
New this morning, some Clayton
County High School students are
using their summer break to lena
hand to younger students that na
little extra help in the classr.
11 Alive caught up with the stut
tutors at Clayton Elementary Sc.
The teens were busy working with teachers
as they helped younger studentsh
math literacy and critical thin.
District leaders say the peer-to-peer
connection really resonates
with kids as they learn.
Sometimes having somebody you can relate to,
somebody a little younger will help them
focus in more and maybe learn something.
Different than maybe the regular
Ed teacher cannot get across,
Reeves says the older students
also benefit from the program.
The teens gain work experience d
they get a first hand look at wt
teaching is really like, Reeves says.
Hopefully, some of those teens l
also walk away this summer wantg
to pursue a career in education.
By noon today, we'll be looking at some
showers starting to develop around the area.
Temperatures right at 78 degree.
We're going to make it up
to a high today at about 83.
That's below our average
for this time of year.
We should be in the upper 80s,
closer to 88 for an afternoon h.
Scattered thunderstorms
will be around as well.
Some of those thunderstorms
will drop some brief,
heavy rain on you,
so be on the lookout for that,
especially around the 6:00 o'clk
hour when you're driving home,
and temperatures around 79 degrees by then.
