All right, rise and shine everyone.
6:00, o'clock.
We are halfway through the week here,
Jason and Alicia here on them.
What is going to be a hot and not
a great day out to be outside,
unfortunately, first day of summer too,
and it's feeling like it.
And that heat guy is why we have
air quality issues, essentially,
right? Yeah, that's part of the
problem with temperatures today again,
soaring into the nineties 92 sunset 903
later this evening or really tonight.
So a long day, right?
Sunrise sun already up was 526.
And again tomorrow.
Right around 526.
Sun sundown 903 tomorrow.
So tomorrow will be the
first full day of summer,
but today is the first day of summer,
summer solstice and it's coming
in hot 69 right now.
Dew points in the 50s,
so not as humid right now as yesterday.
SE winds right around 6:00 to about 10 mph,
Temperatures already
above the 80 degree mark.
By 11:00 o'clock this morning
you can see the sun shining
bright over downtown Minneapolis.
So good morning to you.
Time now, 601.
Air quality alerts will continue
through 9:00 o'clock tomorrow night.
Unhealthy for all sensitive groups.
Expected especially by later this afternoon.
More on that in just about 10 minutes.
All right guy. Thank you.
6O2 now on the clock.
Let's give you a look at the map.
Overall quiet out there.
We'll show you what it
looks like near the airport.
Also roads quiet at 494 and Hwy.
5. Nice shot though,
of the sun rising this morning.
Turning to your headlines now we're
following a breaking story out of Saint Paul.
Young girl is in the hospital this
morning after being shot several times.
Now police say it happened in the pain
failing neighborhood and that's where
we find Eva Anderson this morning with
what we know at this hour. Hey Eva.
Hi Alicia. Within the past six hours,
please confirmed with us the girl is 8
years old and right now it does look like
she's thankfully expected to pull through.
In this terrible incident,
our crews arrived there just within
the hour after it took place.
Police were called to Eastside Commons.
It's a complex of homes on Bradley St.
in Saint Paul. Just after 10,
they responded to a report of shots
fired and they found the young
girl with apparent gunshot wounds.
She was then taken to Regents Hospital,
which is where we are right now.
And we've reached out to Saint Paul
For more information because there's
still a lot that we don't know.
We have not been informed how this
shooting may have taken place
or whether or not it took place
inside or outside the home.
We also don't yet know who
may have been involved.
So there are a lot of
things that we don't know.
But I'll be sure to update you as soon
as I hear back from Saint Paul PD.
Guys,
just eight years old.
So sad to see Eva reporting live
for us this morning. Thank you.
All right, switching gears now,
we could be less than an
hour away from finding out.
Bloomington will host the
next World's Fair. And
Megan is at the live desk right
now following the vote happening
right now in Paris. Megan. Yeah.
So as we speak,
delegates are voting at the Bureau
of International Expositions,
General Assembly in Paris.
So this is a live stream.
I'm waiting for this to come back to
a video of or a live picture rather
of what exactly is going on there.
They're voting right now.
So this is what we're seeing now,
The World's Fair.
It's a big international exhibition.
Designed to highlight the
achievements of a nation and
look at some of the renderings of
what we could see in Bloomington,
these are some pretty
impressive pictures here.
This three month fair would start in May
2027 with 100 countries participating,
14 million visitors from all
around the world in attendance.
If Bloomington is chosen,
the fair would happen in the South Loop
district right by the Mall of America.
Bloomington's mayor says that FAIR
could generate 17,000 jobs and
$364,000,000 in local,
state and federal tax revenue in total.
Here we are talking an economic
impact of about $2 billion. Now,
the World's Fair is held every five years,
so if the US is selected,
this would be the first World's
Fair to take place in the United
States in more than 40 years.
The last was.
The Expo in 1984 in New Orleans.
Voting will wrap up at 6:30 this morning.
We should know around 7:00.
It's coming up soon if we have won.
Now, if Bloomington is selected,
the fair would be held over
the summer months with 90% of
people being from out of town.
And we've got more information on
our website if you want to hear
from Bloomington officials and
see more pictures of what exactly
this fair could look like.
Alicia. Fingers crossed.
All right, we'll find out soon.
Thanks for the update, Megan.
This morning the Minnesota BCA
is investigating after a use of
force incident involving an off
duty Minneapolis police officer.
Minneapolis police responded to an
incident in the 3000 block of 20 7th Ave.
South where a person in crisis was
armed and an off duty at Minneapolis
police officer was inside the home.
SWAT team helped the officer
get out of the home,
but while the officer was inside,
the police chief tells us that the
officer discharged his weapon.
No one was injured.
The officer is on administrative leave,
which is standard.
The person in crisis is in custody.
I'm
Jennifer Hoff. It's now been a week
since Golden Valley police say a
group of kids tried to car Jack,
an 80 year old woman who was
just outside watering her lawn.
And this morning, there are still no arrests.
The chief says, though he's going to
increase patrols and meet with neighborhood
associations to address concerns.
In the meantime, this is the department,
though is still down
about 15 officers relying.
On Hennepin County sheriff's deputies
to respond all throughout the day.
But the chief says he is about to add
five new officers and expects to drop
that mutual aid agreement by December.
In four hours, Saint Paul Fire
Captain Chris Parsons will be
laid to rest in Minneapolis.
He passed away from cardiac
arrest almost a week ago.
Captain Parsons served the Saint
Paul Fire Department for 23 years.
The visitation is this morning at
10 at the Nicollet Island Pavilion.
It will be followed by a
memorial developing right now.
At about 24 hours,
Oxygen will run out of the missing
tour submersible carrying five people.
Yeah, they were on their way
to see the Titanic sitting at
the bottom of the Atlantic.
NBC's Tom Costello has new details this
morning about that desperate search.
Good morning from Boston Coast Guard
Command where we think we are about 24
hours away now from the people inside that
many sub from them running out of air.
And it is a very urgent search on the
water above the water looking for the sub
with five people on board on the water.
The Canadian Coast Guard is on scene
now with several ships in the air,
Canadian and US.
C130 Hercules aircraft running a
grid pattern over the water looking
for any signs of brother.
The sub might have come up and
is bobbing in the water.
So far no signs of that.
Meanwhile,
the US Air Force has sent C-17 to Buffalo,
picked up critical salvage equipment and
it is now rushing that to Saint John,
Newfoundland to the staging base in Canada.
If they can use that salvage equipment
out on site, it would be to lift
the mini sub out of the water.
If they find it,
they haven't found it yet.
And that's the problem.
This is a vast,
expansive ocean the size of Connecticut is
They are looking for a needle in a haystack,
or more precisely a tiny mini sub,
and a vast expansive ocean 2 1/2 miles deep.
With the clock tipping and
five lives on the line,
we'll have much more on the Today Show.
So
breaking this down even further
here the Titanic wreckage sits
at the bottom of the ocean,
nearly 13,000 feet deep.
The pressure down there is roughly
400 times what it is at sea level,
so only a few vessels can withstand that.
Now over the past few days,
we've learned the missing sub
has never been certified,
and among the safety concerns here,
the Hatch can only be unbolted
and open from the outside.
It also runs,
and this is surprising a lot of
people using a video game controller.
This morning, Saint Paul Public
Schools Board just approved
the district's 2024 budget.
For the first time in district history,
the budget will be more than $1 billion.
A lot of the money is coming
from increased state aid and the
remaining federal COVID relief funds.
The budget goes into effect July 1st.
In a few
hours, Mayor Fry will explain how
many Apples is preparing for a huge
weekend with Pride Fest and two
Taylor Swift concerts happening
a mile apart from each other.
For both Swift shows at U.S.
bank, Chicago Ave.
will be closed between 4th and 6th streets.
4th St. between Park and Norm Mcgrew will
also be closed until after the concerts.
There will also be several Rd.
closures for the Pride Block Party and
Warehouse District live event through Monday.
Now for all things Taylor Swift,
all you have to do is text the word SWIFT to
763797727215. We'll send you a link
back to our ultimate guide for fans.
Remember, text that number. Don't call.
Right now an air quality alert is in effect.
In this afternoon we're going
to be in the red category,
which is unhealthy air for everyone.
That means you should limit your time
outside and follow men dot signs asking
you to limit your trips if possible.
This alert is in effect
until 9:00 PM tomorrow,
so definitely something to get used to.
Unfortunately it happens on a really
hot day on the first day of summer when
school is out for so many folks guys.
