earlier today during a press conference
saying that he may have alluded to what
was about to happen this is 60 year old
Noel Flores it was inside his Deltona
apartment where authorities say he shot
and killed his great-nephew
44 year old Arthur Johnson he didn't
know he's dead okay I did deputies
attempted to serve an arrest warrant at
his apartment yesterday evening for bomb
threats made earlier this month I called
the courthouse because I didn't want to
go to court and said that I was gonna
kill somebody so they took it
moments after deputies knocked on his
door they heard gunshots that began more
than a six-hour standoff during that
time Flores
spoke with the 911 dispatcher I need for
you to place that gun down I need you to
do that for me my name is great nice oh
I'm giving you my name no well I don't
you I'm introduced to in and the right
way sir and in order for this to win in
the right way sir I need for you to put

call on to a lieutenant Flores went
silent after about six hours tear gas
was deployed and a robot was used to
search inside eventually SWAT went in

open he was seated on the floor with the
gun through his chest

light jacket can't be ruled out I mean

battle the cold it's simply not going to
be that cold entire weekend gets warmer
with daytime highs 90 90 it seems to be
80 or 80 plus we won't be approaching 90

time of year the week ahead midweek
clearing because another cold front is
on the way it's gonna produce some rain
first then sweep all that away chill us

heavy but up here at home say Seminole
County from Oviedo over to Geneva moving
to the east now a touch of sprinkles a
little bit of light rain one 100th of an
inch per hours the current rate those
little pockets of rain don't last long
I'm not even sure most of them are
making it to the ground but here we go
water vapor loop shows the moisture
coming out of the Gulf of Mexico lining
up for a chance to enhance our rain for

above normal normal daytime high 76 we
were well below that all week long and
look at the low this morning this
morning we were down to 47 the normal is
56 but we shot all the way back to 79 so

course preparing to charge on with a big
win the conference championship on the
line and the fans are ready I don't

the house team of this right I mean when
you're on a 24 game win streak you're
the hottest right tree right huge game
obviously tomorrow tickets are still
available for the American Conference
championship and you can't take this one
for granted because it could be one of
the biggest games at night history as
they go for that trophy it is the same
trophy

win this year for number 10 we're gonna
hear from UCF and Memphis next
