NOW
NOW ON
NOW ON SUNRISE, A SUSPECT IS DEAD, THE POLICE K9
SHOT AFTER 40 MILE CHASE THROUGH
MINNESOTA. WHAT WE'RE LEARNING
FROM INVESTIGATORS THIS
MORNING . IMAGINE THIS
THE ENTIRE POPULATION
OF MINNEAPOLIS WIPED OUT IN ONE
YEAR. THE GRIM MILESTONE THE US
IS NOW FACING AND HOW
THE PRESIDENT PLANS TO HONOR
THOSE LIVES LOST TO COVID-19.
THIS IS TERRIFYING PARTS OF A
PLANE COMING OFF MID-FLIGHT.
THE IMMEDIATE SAFETY CHANGES
GOING INTO EFFECT, AREAS
WITH FOG AND SOME OF IT COULD BE
FREEZING. THAT COULD SLOW YOU
DOWN. THIS MORNING , I'M TAKING
A LOOK AT RAIN AND SNOW CHANCES
IN THE SEVEN DAY FORECAST .
>> PLUS A CONVERSATION YOU NEED
TO HEAR IN AFRICAN-AMERICAN.
SOMETIMES YOU DON'T WANT TO PUT
YOURSELF IN THE FRONT OF THE
LINE AND HAVE TO DEAL WITH ALL
THE ATTENTION.
THE ATTENTION. >> IN THIS MORNING'S BLACK
MINNESOTANS MAKING HISTORY, HOW
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
ARE CHANGING IN THESE
UNPRECEDENTED TIMES. AND IT MAY
BE TIME TO RETHINK YOUR WORK
WARDROBE, HOW IT COULD AFFECT
YOUR JOB PERFORMANCE EVEN IF
YOU'RE NOT GOING INTO
THE OFFICE. IT'S MONDAY,
FEBRUARY. TWENTY SECOND
KARE 11 SUNRISE STARTS NOW.
>> NOT A GOOD MONDAY MORNING FOR
RYAN SAUNDERS. HE IS OUT.
THE TIMBERWOVES HAVE FIRED THEIR
HEAD COACH AFTER ANOTHER LOSS
LAST NIGHT TO THE NEW YORK
KNICKS. THE TEAM HAS THE WORST
RECORD IN THE NBA RIGHT NOW. SO
WE WANT TO KNOW YOUR REACTION
TO THE NEWS TEXT SEVEN SIX THREE
SEVEN NINE SEVEN SEVEN TWO ONE
FIVE. THE COACH OFTEN TAKING
THE BRUNT WHEN THE TEAM IS
HORRIBLE.
HORRIBLE.
HORRIBLE. >> YEAH, AND I THINK A LOT
OF PEOPLE SAW THIS ONE COMMENT
FOR SURE. BUT WE'VE GOT A LOT
OF COMMENTS COMING IN ABOUT THIS
ONE AS WELL . HEY, ALISHA'S
TRACKING THAT AND ALSO YOUR
TRAFFIC GUY, YOU'RE TELLING US
THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE A WARM
UP AT 40S? YEAH, MOST OF US
TODAY HITTING ABOVE 40, BUT IT'S
GOING TO COME WITH SOME CLOUD
COVER AND MAYBE A SLIGHT CHANCE
OF AN AFTERNOON SPRINKLE OR
SCATTERED SHOWERS. ALSO, WE HAD
SOME FOG IN THE FORECAST THIS
MORNING . SOME OF THE FOG COULD
BE FREEZING, TOO. SO KEEP
THAT IN MIND WITH TEMPERATURES
IN THE MID 20S. NOT BAD FEELING
LIKE THE UPPER TEENS RIGHT NOW
WHEN YOU FACTOR IN THE WINDS,
WINDS INCREASING LATER THIS
AFTERNOON, WHICH WILL HELP GET
RID OF SOME OF THIS FOG
THAT WE'RE SEEING RIGHT NOW
WITH VISIBILITY FALLING IN AREAS
AT ABOUT A MILE, LOOKS LIKE
IN THE METRO, ESPECIALLY EAST
METRO SCHOOL DAY PLANNER
WILL SHOW MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES,
COULD SQUEEZE A FEW PEEKS
OF SUNSHINE EARLY AND THEN AS
THE AFTERNOON GOES ON , THEN
WE'LL SEE MAYBE AGAIN A PASSING
SPRINKLE KIND OF MOVING
ON THROUGH AND A SEMI
UNFORTUNATELY WENT OFF THE ROAD
HERE ALONG THE NINETY
FOUR WESTBOUND JUST PASSED
HIGHWAY ONE ON ONE IN THE ROGERS
AREA UP IN THE NORTHWEST CORNER
OF THE TWIN CITIES METRO.
IT'S STUCK IN THE MEDIAN RIGHT
NOW, NOT CAUSING ANY SLOWDOWNS.
GOOD NEWS . IT'S IN THE WEST
LANE. SO IT'S THE DIRECTION
THAT TRAFFIC'S TYPICALLY NOT
GOING TOWARDS THE TWIN CITIES
METRO. THERE WAS A REPORTED
CRASH ALREADY CLEARED HERE ALSO
ALONG HIGHWAY ONE HUNDRED
AND SIXTY TWO. WE'LL BE TRACKING
SOME DRIVE TIMES AND HAVE AN
UPDATE HERE COMING UP IN JUST
A FEW MINUTES.
>> BREAKING OVERNIGHT, ONE
PERSON IS HURT IN A HOUSE FIRE
IN SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS. IT
HAPPENED ON THE FIFTY FIVE
HUNDRED BLOCK CLINTON AVENUE. SO
FIRE CREWS SAY THE TWO PEOPLE
WHO LIVED THERE GOT OUT OF THE
HOUSE. ONE WOMAN IS BEING
TREATED FOR BURNS THIS MORNING .
THE LATEST ON A DEADLY POLICE
SHOOTING IN ISTANTI COUNTY WHICH
LEFT A SUSPECT DEAD AND AN
OFFICER AND POLICE K9 INJURED.
IT HAPPENED SUNDAY AFTERNOON
AFTER A HIGH SPEED CHASE WHICH
STARTED IN BLAINE. THAT'S WHERE
JENNIFER JOINS LIVE FROM NOW.
>> JENNIFER , WHAT CAN YOU
TELL US ABOUT THIS SITUATION?
YEAH, THIS IS WHERE POLICE SAY
IT ALL STARTED WITH TWO SUSPECTS
STEALING A CAR FROM THIS KOHL'S
PARKING LOT IN BLAINE. THE BLAME
POLICE CHIEF SAID THE OFFICER
WHO WAS INJURED DURING
THE INITIAL CALL HERE WAS
HOSPITALIZED WITH MINOR
INJURIES. MEANWHILE, THE K9
OFFICER FROM ANOKA IS EXPECTED
TO LIVE AFTER BEING SHOT. SO
POLICE SAY AFTER THOSE SUSPECTS
STOLE THE CAR FROM THE KOHL'S
PARKING LOT, THEY THEN HEADED
OVER TO A PARKING LOT NEAR
THE MENARDS AND BLAINE DITCHED
THE FIRST CAR AND THEN TOOK
A BLACK PICKUP AT GUNPOINT.
IT'S FROM THERE THAT POLICE SAY
THE SUSPECT LED THEM ON A HIGH
SPEED CHASE UP HIGHWAY 65, WHICH
LASTED FOR 40 MILES IN WINTERY
CONDITIONS. THE SUSPECTS WERE
EVENTUALLY STOPPED NEAR RAM
AND TRIED TO RUN. AND THAT'S
WHEN THE SHOOTING HAPPENED.
ACCORDING TO THE ANOKA POLICE
DEPARTMENT, IT WAS THEIR K9
BRAVO WHO WAS SHOT. POLICE THEN
SHOT BACK, KILLING ONE OF THE

THOSE HAVE NOT BEEN RELEASED
YET. MEANWHILE, THE BCA IS
INVESTIGATING THIS TO DETERMINE
WHETHER THE SHOOTING WAS
JUSTIFIED.

A LOT MORE QUESTIONS TO BE
ANSWERED ON THIS ONE. JENNIFER ,

WHY BOEING IS MAKING HEADLINES
ALL OVER SOCIAL MEDIA ONCE
AGAIN, AFTER A CRAZY MID-AIR
INCIDENT. UNITED IS NOW
GROUNDING TWO DOZEN BOEING 777
PLANES FROM ITS FLEET
AND LAUNCHING A FULL
INVESTIGATION. NOW IN A
STATEMENT POSTED ON TWITTER,
UNITED EXPLAIN THAT A SATURDAY
FLIGHT FROM DENVER TO HONOLULU
EXPERIENCED ENGINE FAILURE
SHORTLY AFTER TAKEOFF BUT LANDED
SAFELY BACK IN DENVER.
THANKFULLY, NO ONE WAS HURT.
NOW, AS A PRECAUTION, UNITED
REMOVED TWENTY FOUR ACTIVE
BOEING 777 IS WORKING WITH THE
FEDS ON THEIR NEXT STEPS. UNITED
HAS ANOTHER TWENTY EIGHT BOEING
777 IN STORAGE RIGHT NOW. PRETTY
INCREDIBLE VIDEO ALL OVER SOCIAL
MEDIA. A PASSENGER SHOT THIS
OF THE ENGINE BURNING IN MID
AIR. THE NTSB SAYS MOST OF THE
DAMAGE WAS CONFINED TO THAT
ENGINE, BUT OTHER PARTS,
THE PLANE DID HAVE SOME DAMAGE.
AND EVEN THOUGH PILOTS GOT
THE PLANE BACK ON THE GROUND
SAFELY, HUGE PIECES OF DEBRIS
FELL DOWN ONTO THE TOWN
OF BROOMFIELD, COLORADO. YIKES.
POLICE SHARE THIS PHOTO OF AN
ENGINE PIECE RIGHT OUTSIDE
A FAMILY'S FRONT DOOR AND OTHER
PIECES OF DEBRIS WERE SCATTERED
ACROSS A TURF FIELD.
BUT LUCKILY, POLICE SAY NO ONE
WAS INJURED AT THAT PARK.
AND BOEING JUST BROUGHT THE 737
MAX JETS BACK TO THE SKIES
IN DECEMBER AFTER GROUNDING
THE AIRCRAFT FOLLOWING TWO
DEADLY CRASHES WITH THAT TYPE
OF PLANE. IF YOU'D LIKE TO READ
MORE ABOUT THE STORY AND SEE
MORE OF THAT CRAZY VIDEO. WE DO
HAVE IT POSTED RIGHT NOW AT
KARE 11 DOTCOM. BUT CHRIS, COULD
YOU IMAGINE I MEAN, PEOPLE ON A
PLANE AND PEOPLE IN THEIR HOMES
WAKING UP TO GIANT CHUNKS
OF AIRPLANE DEBRIS.
>> AMAZING. AND YOU DON'T
REALIZE HOW LARGE THOSE ENGINES
ARE BECAUSE IT'S ALL PERSPECTIVE
WHEN YOU'RE ON THE PLANE BRACING
FOR THAT SEVEN SEVEN SEVEN
ENGINES, 12 FEET DIAMETER,
HUMONGOUS AS YOU SAW IN THAT
PERSON'S FRONT YARD.
>> YEAH. THANKS FOR SHARING
THOSE STUNNING PICTURES. LET'S
GET OVER TO YOU WITH OUR ONE
THING WEATHER THIS MORNING .
>> WE COULD SEE VISIBILITY FALL
AROUND A MILE AND IN THE METRO
AREA WE'RE SEEING THAT ALSO
IT'S ABOUT FOUR DEGREES
WARMER COMPARED TO TWENTY
FOUR HOURS AGO.
>> AND THE ONLY ISSUE HERE RIGHT
NOW IN THE TWIN CITIES, NINETY
FOUR WESTBOUND NEAR HIGHWAY ONE
WANT A SEMI TRUCK LOST CONTROL
IN THE MEDIAN RIGHT NOW ALONG
THAT STRETCH ROAD NOT CAUSING
ANY SLOWDOWN. WELL , IF
YOU'VE DRIVEN AROUND A LOT
LATELY, YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED GAS
PRICES ARE GETTING HIGHER
AND HIGHER. SO WHAT'S PUSHING
UP THE PRICE OF AN KOSLOF
WITH OUR VERIFY TEAM LOOKS INTO
IT. EVERYBODY TAKES ON THE
DIFFICULT TOPICS. WE DO SO BY
GOING TO THE VETTED EXPERTS,
THE SEPARATE WHAT'S REAL FROM
WHAT'S JUST SPIN. YOU MAY HAVE
NOTICED THAT GAS PRICES HAVE
BEEN ON THE RISE LATELY.
GASBUDDY REPORTING AN INCREASE
TO THE NATIONAL AVERAGE OF SEVEN
CENTS IN A WEEK AND 17 CENTS
IN A MONTH. ON SOCIAL MEDIA,
SOME ARE WONDERING IF
THE EXECUTIVE ORDER FROM
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN TO REVOKE
THE PERMIT FOR THE KEYSTONE XL
PIPELINE IS RESPONSIBLE. SO
LET'S VERIFY WHAT IS THIS
PIPELINE AND IS THIS DECISION
CAUSING GAS PRICES TO INCREASE
IN THE SHORT TERM? OUR SOURCES
ARE PATRICK DEEVON FROM GASBUDDY
AND MARK FINDLAY FROM THE CENTER
FOR ENERGY STUDIES AT THE BAKER
INSTITUTE AT RICE UNIVERSITY.
>> SO LET'S START WITH THE
DETAILS. HERE'S A MAP OF THE
WHOLE PROJECT PROVIDED BY
TRANSCANADA, THE COMPANY
BUILDING THE PIPELINE. THE SOLID
LINE IS ALREADY BUILT IN .
THAT DOTTED LINE IS WHAT WOULD
BE THE XL PIPELINE.
>> THIS IS A MAJOR PIPELINE
THAT WOULD CARRY CANADIAN CRUDE
OIL TO CUSHING, OKLAHOMA, WHERE
MUCH OF THE NATION'S CRUDE OIL
STOCKPILE.
STOCKPILE. >> SO WHAT ARE THE IMPACTS
ON GAS PRICES IN THE SHORT TERM?
I DON'T THINK THIS DECISION IS
LIKELY TO CAUSE HIGHER OIL
PRICES.
PRICES.
PRICES. >> NOW OUR EXPERTS SAY THERE'S
A LOT AT PLAY HERE , BUT THE BIG
FACTOR IS THAT THE PIPELINE JUST
WASN'T DONE YET.
>> SO THIS DECISION DOESN'T
AFFECT THE CURRENT SUPPLY
PIPELINE. THAT IS NOT FINISHED.
THAT WAS NEVER FULLY REALIZED,
DOES NOT MAKE AS MUCH OF AN
IMPACT AS, SAY, SHUTTING A KEY
ARTERY THAT'S BEEN FLOWING
FOR YEARS AND YEARS.
>> SO WHAT IS CAUSING THE GAS
PRICES TO RISE TO COVID IS
THE DRIVER'S SEAT.
>> OUR EXPERTS SAY THAT EVER
SINCE THE PANDEMIC HIT, DEMAND
FOR GASOLINE HAS TAKEN
A NOSEDIVE. BUT NOW THAT STATES
AND CITIES ARE OPENING UP ,
DEMAND IS STARTING TO RISE
IN DEEVON SAYS THAT WE SHOULDN'T
BE SURPRISED IF THE GAS PRICES
JUMP YET AGAIN THIS WEEKEND OR
EARLY NEXT WEEK. SINCE
THE WINTER STORM IN TEXAS SHUT
DOWN SOME 20 % OF OUR NATION'S
REFINERIES. THE BIG MESSAGE FROM
FINLEY IS THAT THE RISE AND FALL
OF GAS PRICES IS LESS ABOUT ANY
ONE WHITE HOUSE POLICY AND MORE
ABOUT FLUCTUATIONS IN THE GLOBAL
OIL MARKET.
OIL MARKET. >> IT'S MORE ABOUT THE GLOBAL
BALANCE OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND. SO
WE CAN VERIFY THAT NO.
OUR EXPERTS SAY THAT THESE
RISING GAS PRICES ARE NOT
THE RESULT OF THE XL PIPELINE
DECISION. WITH YOUR VERIFY,
I'M KOSLOF.
I'M KOSLOF. >> OK, IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU
LIKE US TO VERIFY, KNOW WHAT
TO DO. SEND AN EMAIL TO VERIFY
KARE11.COM OR REACH OUT
ON FACEBOOK AND TWITTER. WHAT'S
BEEN ONE YEAR SINCE ITALY HAD
ITS FIRST CASE OF COVID-19 HOW
THAT COUNTRY MARKED THE TOUGH
MILESTONE PLUS THE CUDDLY
SURPRISE A BOMB SQUAD CAME
ACROSS THIS WEEKEND THEN FEEL
LIKE YOU'RE NOT WORKING THE
