we are following several
big stories as you wake up.
Police in Minneapolis are
investigating a deadly shooting
that happened just a few hours o
and some big developments in the last
few hours at the State Capitol impacting
your healthcare and how much it costs.
In 2 minutes we dive into the
bill the House just passed.
Plus the future of the Vikings franchise is
about to go on the clock in Kansas City.
Who the Vikings could
pick with the first pick?
Their first pick. In the NFL dr,
let's welcome you in 6:00.
O'clock here on your Thursday,
your Friday, June, your baby Fr,
however you want to say it.
Jason and Jason and Alicia here with you.
Yeah. The weekend is is inching closer.
So let's get over to Guy.
I know a lot of folks will be
dining out for life today,
going out to eat, but the rain t
impact a little bit of that. Ye,
but I don't think it'll
slow us down too much.
I mean, you got a jacket with the hood,
you're good. Or if you're like ,
I do like to carry the umbrella.
I'm a little oldfashioned.
I'll just pop it up if I need i.
But we're not expecting anything heavy,
so you should still.
Keep those plans, of course.
You have a couple of showers
right now on the on the map her,
mainly to the South.
You saw the lifespan of those showers
break apart quickly overnight.
My drivein was dry,
pavement was still a little wet,
but now I'm starting to see things dry out.
And we'll temporarily shut the n
off just for a little bit throut
the daytime before some more
redevelopment later on this afternoon.
52 right now, mostly cloudy.
It's nice and mild with a
southwest wind at 11 mph.
Hey,
here's how your morning shaping up again,
a little room for sun,
just a little room for sun.
I am not mad at that.
With temperatures today warming up to the
60s and then mid 60s later on this afternoon.
I'm tracking more showers this evening.
I'm timing it all out for you
coming up in about 10 minutes.
Guy, thank you.
Hey for getting a coffee.
Ready to go here and head out
the door for work? For school?
Drop the kid off daycare.
Here's a look at the the map.
You can check your own route,
but I'm telling you it's looking pretty
great around the six 94494 loop and beyond.
Not seeing any big hiccups,
major slowdowns whatsoever.
No crashes according to Mndot
as of right now either.
Roads around the metro quite as well.
This is 36 out of Roseville
and Lexington Ave.
We are following some breaking
news as we come on the air.
Minneapolis police are
investigating a homicide.
The
shooting happened just seven hours ago,
and right now police are lookinr
the suspect who fired those sho.
So let's take a look at
where this all happened.
Police tell us they found the vm
near the 2300 block of 4th St.
N Officers found the man in a
running vehicle with gunshot wo.
Despite efforts to save his lif,
police tell us he died at that scene.
You can see here in this video
multiple bullet casings on the ground.
It also appears the cars
windows were shot out.
Again, no arrests have been made
but we will keep you updated.
Also, breaking the last five
hours here lawmakers in the Houe
pass a bill that directly impacs
your health care in our state.
Yeah,
the highly debated bill reshapes
who is allowed health care in
Minnesota and what's all covere.
So CC got a hold of that bill
overnight is giving us a breakd.
Hey CC. Hey, here it is right h.
Just hours ago this bill
passed the House 69 to 58.
This bill's goal, you know,
to invest and improve health ca.
So here's what we found out abo.
This bill overnight,
This bill looks to lower healthe
costs and improve coverage for
Minnesotans and undocumented residents.
It protects reproductive care t,
including increased funding for
reproductive health and also the
repeal of antiabortion language.
Mental health also a big
priority in this bill.
Investments were made for
mental health grants and a 988
Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.
We also found that there are sel
investments to support healthcare workers,
like workplace safety and safe
staffing levels for nurses.
And even though this bill did
pass in the house,
not everyone was on the same pa.
This proposal adds mandates to hospitals
challenging their ability to kep
their wings and their stations opened
and depriving access to healthc.
But our objectives,
as Representative Becker just stated,
are about access.
They're about affordability.
They're about quality care for Minnesotans
from every corner of this state,
and that must remain our focus.
So now that the bill has passed
in the House this morning,
it heads over to the Senate.
Jason, Alicia.
All right, CC, thank you.
In less than 4 hours,
Governor Walls will sign 3 bills into law.
One of those is for people
seeking gender affirming care.
Another bans conversion therapy,
and the last one protects peopln
Minnesota seeking or providing abortions.
This morning,
a public safety bill is
now in the Senate after
passing the Minnesota House.
There are two major gun
control measures in the bill,
universal background checks and
also a red flag law that would
allow family members and chief
law enforcement officers to geta
court order to take guns for pee
who pose a significant danger of
bodily harm to themselves or ot.
This morning, a new federal lawsuit is
accusing Minneapolis police offs
of using undercover social media
accounts to spy on certain peop.
Here are the details. I'm
Lou Ragoose. The Minneapolis NAACP is
suing the city of Minneapolis or
allegations MPD officers use covert social
media accounts to spy on black people,
black organizations and elected officials.
One specific allegation says anD
officer used a phony account to RSVP for a
birthday party in campaign event for former
NAACP President Nikema Levy Armstrong.
The city of Minneapolis has
denied the claims in the past.
And again today saying it disags
with the claim that they used
undercover accounts to spy.
Right now the flooded Mississipi
is over 16 feet high in Wabasha.
It could be weeks before all the water
starts to subside and the city s
fighting that flooding with more water.
Yeah, you heard that right.
Wabasha fire actually filled the
basement of Slipperies Bar and l
with 10,000 gallons of clean war
before the Mississippi hit flood stage.
The thinking process on that wa?
Let's fill it with clean water.
We don't get The Dirty water seeping in.
And then when the then if we
neutralize the inside with the outside,
the walls don't have no pressur.
Yeah, the river crested in
Wabasha Tuesday at about 18 fee.
So let's bring a guy now with hw
high the Mississippi and the St.
Croix are right now. Yeah,
you know Mississippi now you got
flood stage 14 feet well above
that, right. So you can see
18.224 feet right now and
that was just at 4:00 AM.
So still in that major flood stage in pink.
Good news is you know levels probably
remaining around 18 feet through
the 1st week of May and then wel
see those levels come down agai.
We have a dry pattern on the wa.
Next week and plus we're not expecting
a whole lot of rain this week wh
those off and on shower chances.
Now let's go to the Saint
Cloy River at Stillwater.
Now this one has been pretty
active the past few weeks,
but I'm happy to report leave
you on a good note here.
Now we're in the moderate flood
stage in red at around 88 feet.
You'll see that was measured at0
AM as well and we'll continue to just
kind of Bob around in the modere
flood stage until about next we,
possibly touching the minor flo.
Stage, which is a whole lot of progress.
Alicia.
That is good news there guy. Thank you.
We are waiting to hear from Timberwolves
star Anthony Edwards after he ws
charged with two counts of assa.
This is the moment you see this
video here that got him in trou.
It came after missing the game time shot
and Tuesday's loss to the Denver Nuggets.
And we want to show you a diffet
angle of that same incident,
which kind of clears things up a little bit.
You see him pick up the chair upset swings
that chair in the air before it drops.
Police say that chair actually hit two women.
Hurting them minorly.
Hurting them, they weren't hurt too majorly.
So the last 13 hours of the Timberwolves
released a statement saying that
they're in the process of gatheg
more information and have no fur
comment at this time and is scheduled
to be in court in Denver in June
at 608 on the clock.
And you're looking live over
Kansas City where the NFL
draft begins later tonight.
The Vikings.
Are going on the clock
in about 14 hours.
The question
every Vikings fan is wondering who are
we going to pick with that 23rd pick?
Well, some analysts think
they're going to trade back.
Others believe they're going
to take a QB, A quarterback.
Yeah, so Reggie's going to breat
down for us in about 30 minutes.
But first, we're asking you out there what
the team should do with that first pick,
If you could play coach
or play GM this morning.
So, Christopher, good morning.
He says that unless they plan
to somehow trade up to get
one of the top three Qb's,
then don't reach in the late first round.
Go get the best position player available.
Yeah, BPA, that's what a
lot of people are all about.
Guy is saying to dump Dalvin
Cook and Denil Hunter and a
few picks to move up to #2.
And get a QB.
There's been a lot of talk about Dalvin,
Dalvin being traded or released,
so we'll see.
It's like the Wild West
when the draft happened.
I know it's so wild.
OK, Austin, good morning.
Wants some help in the secondar,
saying CB, please
do something about that defense.
And then John here says trade b.
So a lot of opinions out there.
I personally would love to see .
Select the QB Anthony
Richardson out of Florida.
Is that nerve wracking for Cous,
You think? Like, my job's on the line?
Probably. But I mean,
you got to develop a QB behind ,
Kirk, because he's not going to
be here forever. That's true.
And I think Anthony Richardson s
some of the best tools in this draft.
I love your analysis of all thi.
Thank you. I'm gonna lean on you for this.
I'm just here for all the
tears and hugs watching this.
All right, switching gears to or
friends over in Wisconsin. The Packers.
Tonight's what they're going to
do with their first round pick.
From The Jets after they
traded Aaron Rodgers, I noticed
walking in this morning that that Super
Bowl 3 trophies looking a little lonely. So
he looks more human now with the haircut.
He looks good. He looks good. G.
So Rogers spoke yesterday to the
media for the first time in Jets gear.
He says he's ready for a new chapter.
After 18 years with the Packers,
ready to get them their first
Super Bowl trophy in like,
200 years. So. And
then he's gonna come to the
Vikings in just a few years.
It's the Brett Favre path.
See you soon, Rogers. See you s.
All right, 610 on this Thursday.
Gorgeous shot.
I love this sky Cam view
of downtown Minneapolis.
You see the chain of lakes there
and the beautiful sunrise.
Sun peeking up over those cloud.
Guy and Guy.
It's supposed to be a little war
today. Yeah, and we're already
waking up the warmer temperatur.
And I love that shot as well. Alicia.
Like I said, a little room for .
We're trying to make way as thoe
clouds really taking over the daytime.
So if you see some sunshine,
consider yourself lucky it's jut
going to be a cloudy day ahead again.
A few peeks of sun possible at
the bus stop tips in the 50s.
Perfect bus stop weather and
pavement roadways pretty much
already starting to dry out.
Temperatures in the mid 50s by late morning,
9:00 AM. Sunrise times 609 now.
Showers dissipating and
decreasing as we speak.
Just a few areas,
finding some isolated very
light showers or sprinkles.
You'll see showers from Rochestr
to Albert Lee that will continue
to track eastward as well.
Zooming in,
you can just see how isolated radar is
showing those showers this morn.
So nothing to slow you down today whatsoever.
It's really tonight where we'll
see more redevelopment which
could be a little widespread,
but right now you have mostly cloudy skies,
52 little southwest wind at 11 ,
slightly breezy on the skin.
I think it feels fabulous out h.
66 will be our forecast high to.
More showers develop later
on this evening turning.
More widespread, especially after midnight.
So while you're sleeping,
showers pretty much widespread
and we could shake the showers
during the morning drive tomorr.
So showers will be kind of decreasing
as we get into the morning driv,
but more rain developing later on as you
get into the afternoon hours on Friday.
As well.
But again, nothing steady and hy
and it's still not the, you kno,
best news for the rivers that ae
already in that major flood sta,
like I just mentioned here not too long ago.
But we're not expecting a wholet
of rain like yesterday, for exa.
We only picked up a trace.
There's the warmest day on
the seven Wednesday at 69.
