This is KGWN
news at sunrise. 10 seconds later you hear
people screaming bodies down, bodies down
and everyone starts scattering.
That's reaction following a shooting
that happened during a 4th of
July parade in Chicago yesterday,
and then hours later two officers
were shot during an Independence
Day celebration in Philadelphia.
We'll have the latest from both cities
coming up here in just a minute.
So this morning,
we'll hear from the leader of a
rescue team that helped save a
climber this weekend on Mount Hood,
a climber who fell nearly 700 feet.
That leader of the rescue team will
explain how other climbers can avoid
winding up in a similar situation.
Then later this half hour,
we're going to hear how inflation is
impacting the cost of everyday pet products.
Dog and cat owners already
know this story all too well.
We'll have more on this coming up at 5:15.
But first this morning.
Take a look if you went to
bed early last night,
you may have missed some of
the sights and sounds happening
all around town last night,
in celebration of the 4th of July.
These are fireworks from downtown Portland.
They had fireworks at the Waterfront
Blues Festival at Oaks Park,
also at the Saint Paul Rodeo.
After the HOPS game in Hillsborough,
so fireworks all over the place last night,
Rod as you and I were trying to go to sleep,
yes so we can get up this morning
to do the Sunrise show.
Lots
of booming sounding fireworks and Clark
County last night at least up until 10:50.
It's last time I remember looking
at the alarm clock and then rock. Finally
said I can't
do it anymore. Gotta go to sleep.
I need three more pillows but
over my head alright, here we go.
We actually have some rain
on the radar this morning.
You know for days now we've been
telling you about an upper level low.
Well there could be a shower,
but we hadn't seen anything in fact.
You know, yesterday we opened up
a lot of sunshine on July 4th.
78 was the high,
but here we are this morning finally
getting some rain moving northward,
exiting Eugene Salem,
starting to get some rain.
There's more over on the east side of I5.
There's Kaiser Mount Angel Silverton,
Woodburn.
Perhaps starting seal a bit of
rain out in Sheridan as well.
Some breaks in the cloud cover downtown
Portland where we are dry right now.
But showers are possibilities.
That rain continues to push
up to the north right now.
62 mostly cloudy during the day.
68 anew we keep the chance that you
will see a few showers around the area,
76 degrees at 5:00 PM drew
alright, we'll have more from Rod
here in just a minute,
but first we want to get to
our top story this morning.
2 shootings at 4th
of July. Events in two of our
country's biggest cities.
We're going to start this
morning in Philadelphia,
where two police officers were
shot during an Independence
Day celebration last night.
Both officers were taken to the
hospital where they were treated for
their injuries and then released.
So at this point,
it's still too early to tell.
We don't know if this was a
ricochet from celebratory gunfire,
we don't know if this was intentional.
We don't know if this was someone
taking a shot intentionally at
these officers from a long range,
but again, like I said,
we're we're all just extremely grateful
that this wasn't worse than what it was.
I'm concerned every single day.
There's not an event or a day where I
don't lay on my back and look at the
ceiling and wonder what worry about stuff.
So everything we have in the city.
At over the last seven years,
I worry about I don't enjoy 4th of July.
I don't enjoy the the the
Democratic National Convention.
I didn't enjoy the the NFL draft.
I'm waiting for something
bad to happen all the time,
so it's I'll be happy when I'm
not here when I'm not mayor
and I can enjoy some stuff.
That's Philadelphia's mayor
reacting to last night's shooting.
We also know that Philadelphia police are
still looking for a suspect this morning.
Earlier in the day,
there was a mass shooting at a 4th
of July parade in North Chicago
where at least six people are
now dead and 38 more are injured.
The people who were shot
range in age from 8 to 85.
The suspect opened fire from a rooftop
and then escaped from the roof,
leaving the rifle behind.
ATF agents were able to
trace the rifle serial number
at a mass. Shooting
the killer does not usually
leave the gun. All that's
found are shell casings and
projectiles that are left at the scene.
Here we have the rifle that
will yield evidence of DNA.
That person of interest is now in custody.
This is video right here of what is
believed to be the arrest of the suspect.
This was the third major mass shooting
in the United States since May.
There have now been more than 300 mass
shootings in the US altogether this year.
Approaching a record number.
And we're still here in
the first week of July.
NBC's Bree Jackson brings us more.
A horrific scene in Highland Park, IL.
People scrambling for safety after a
gunman atop of building opened fire on
crowds gathering for a 4th of July parade,
killing at least six people
and injuring dozens more.
Our community was terrorized by an act of
violence that has shaken us to our core.
Droid Countless lives
community was shattered.
A lot of people are grieving
and it will be a long time for
this this community to heal and
recover President Biden again.
Taking on the role of Consoler
in chief on a day meant to
celebrate America's independence,
smart moment of silence
for all those families.
This latest mass shooting comes less
than two weeks after President Biden
signed into law historic new gun
legislation following high profile
shootings in Uvalde in Buffalo,
the bipartisan package included expanded
background checks for gun buyers,
18 to 21.
Police say the person of interest
in this latest shooting is 22
and we got a lot more work to do.
We gotta get this under control.
We got to get this under control.
The president,
vowing to keep fighting the epidemic
of gun violence in the country.
In Washington Bridge, Jackson for NBC News.
This morning on the Today show,
we're hearing from 2 doctors who
were at that parade in Chicago with
their families and wound up becoming
the first responders on the scene.
I knew the kids were safe at that
point and I just said to my dad I'm
going to go back and go back and help.
What did you see it was?
Quite a horrific scene.
There was a gentleman who
was obviously deceased.
There was another older gentleman who had a
gunshot to his abdomen and I starting an IV.
That's when I looked up and I saw David
so David and I started the IV on him.
I went across the street.
There were a couple of younger
guys with gunshots to their leg.
We had tourniquets on them,
went across the street.
There was a woman who had a
gunshot to her to her chest.
They were masked,
ventilating her.
The Today show will be live from the
Highland Park area of Chicago later
this morning with full coverage of
the shooting that's coming up here
at 7:00 o'clock right after sunrise.
Now let's get you caught up
in a couple of local headlines
this morning. We start with an
Oregon City man who's in custody,
accused of kidnapping a Canadian teenager.
Police arrested Noah Madrano on
July 2nd after being alerted by the
FBI of his activity here in the US.
The 13 year old girl had been
missing for about a week.
She is safe this morning.
Her parents have been notified and
authorities are now working to
return her to her family. Medrano.
Meanwhile, faces charges of child luring.
He's expected to appear in a Clackamas.
County courtroom this afternoon.
And fireworks are likely to blame
for a house fire.
Yesterday morning in Roseburg,
the couple who lives in this
House managed to escape.
They weren't hurt,
but their garage was torched.
You can see some of the video right there,
fires, say, or firefighters,
that is, say,
fireworks that were improperly extinguished,
sparked that fire.
We also want to tell you about
another rescue on Mount Hood
that happened over the weekend.
On Saturday a 43 year old climber lost
his ice axe near the old shoot and
wound up falling nearly 700 feet and
National Guard helicopter airlifted
him to a Portland area hospital.
John Goodwin spoke with Portland mountain
rescue about this rescue mission.
There's always risk involved in
climbing Mount Hood, it's you
know it's a technical mountain.
Eric Brahms is a rescue leader with
Portland mountain rescue. You know?
It's been quite busy this year.
He's been with PMR for 20 years so he knows
the landscape when it comes to Mount Hood
and it's always important to, you know,
know the route, know the conditions
and have a have a backup plan.
Those conditions change fast and even
for the most experienced Mountaineers.
Controlling what you can isn't always enough.
A 43 year old climber learned that this
weekend around 6:30 Saturday morning.
He lost his ice ax and fell almost
700 feet from the summit Ridge at an
area called the old shoot down to the
rocks above the Hot rocks funeral,
a volcanic vent spewing toxic gas, you
know a slide at one of those spots
usually results in some serious
injuries because once you slide
and unless you self arrest within
just a fraction of a second,
you're probably going to, you know, go
for a ride.
Brahms led the rescue mission on Saturday.
The climber was stabilized and
airlifted by the National Guard.
No matter what you should be
prepared on Mount Hood and
in the event of an emergency,
a call doesn't mean immediate rescue.
It's not like you know you call up and
the helicopter is going to come and
just give you a ride to the hospital.
You may have to wait, you know hours.
It was a big team effort,
you know, by PMR the crag, rats,
AMR and the National Guard and the
Clackamas County Sheriff's Department.
Mount Hood is dangerous to climb year
round because of the steep icy conditions.
This was the 2nd accident within
the same area in just over a week.
The climb is half over.
Once you get to the summit you know
you've got to get down safely.
The climber from Happy Valley went
to the hospital and is recovering.
Brahms is thankful for a best case scenario.
We were able to get him off the
mountain to the hospital and yes he
did not go into the funeral because
that would have added another you know
layer of complexity to the mission.
Kind of the outcome may not
have been as good.
John Goodwin KGW news.
Alright, before we get to Rod
Hill, a quick look outside this morning
Sun breaks on this early Tuesday morning,
the morning after the 4th of July.
Now yesterday Rod I felt
like was pretty perfect.
Yes, as far as a 4th of July holidays are
concerned weather wise we did a little
Berry picking out in Canby yesterday.
What types of berries we got?
Mostly raspberries.
There were a few strawberries rough
year for strawberries because of all
that rain we had in May and June,
but there were a few strawberries
left but mainly raspberries.
Rod lots of them. I'm very happy for you.
We spent dozens of dollars but a great
operation. I'll give a quick shout out.
South in in Canby Barlow. Berry farms.
Terrific operation out there.
So anyway, there's the quick plug for them,
familiar with them. Love our berries.
We have a day that could actually
produce some rain showers.
In fact, some of you getting wet right now.
You can see that rain moving
South to north up the valley.
This is the same weather set up going
all the way back to last Friday.
That's had a daily shower
chance of some degree,
but so far nothing right.
But finally, here's Woodburn starting
to get a little bit of rain Turner,
Salem said a little bit Sheridan.
On the coast range,
is that a little bit as well.
Futurecast shows the shower chance ongoing,
at least in the mid afternoon.
So and here's the rain chance also alive
at the coast today 8:30 this morning.
Here we are noon,
some showers and Portland the coast up
around Astoria and then keep in mind
there's a chance of a thunderstorm.
See the yellow and boom there it goes.
Possible thunderstorm activity
along the Cascades and maybe
over in the Central Oregon.
Today's probably dry out
across Eastern Oregon,
and that's where the rains
actually been in the last.
Handful of days released, the threat of it.
Here we are tonight at 7:00 o'clock.
Everything's kind of starting to fizzle out,
but we'll have another shower
chance to watch tomorrow.
Clouds over downtown.
We saw some breaks from the
Wells Fargo camera in the sky.
62 is the current number.
We have 51,
Astoria 59 and Ben Cool spot this morning,
Baker City at 42 and here
come the temperatures today.
Probably low to mid 70s.
Depends on how much sun we get
when you would have a shower,
but we think today is mostly cloudy.
Overall,
I don't think we're gonna open up the sun.
We had on July 4th and again the
ongoing threat that you'll see.
Some showers,
rain totals should average less than five,
one hundredths of an inch and again
no guarantee you gonna see something.
But we know have some.
We do have showers in the area this morning.
Battleground 75.
I'm also not sure if the showers migrate
all the way north up into college County,
but we'll keep an eye 73 if
you folks in Longview.
Here's the seven day shower chance.
A lot of clouds around tomorrow
76 today and tomorrow.
Then we start to warm up Thursday
afternoon and sunshine developing
7980 or better on Friday.
Could be close to 90 on Sunday and
then Monday of next week could
be day one of perhaps 3 where
you get back up into the 90s for
our next slow many heat wave,
and that's your forecast
rod. I got the short
end of the straw here.
You get to talk about the weather.
I have to talk about inflation.
Yeah inflation.
As many of us know,
at a 40 year high at this point
and it's really impacting just
about every aspect of our lives,
including pet expenses.
So here's the question this morning,
just how much?
Next year are we spending on our pets?
We'll explore that question coming up next.
