WOULD HAVE DID HIM IN.
SCOTT: NEW AT 10:00,
A GENTILLY MAN SAYS HE STOPPED A
WOULD B BURGLAR FROM BREAKING
INTO HIS HOUSE.
IT HAPPENED OFF OF PRATT DRIVE
IN GENTILLY.
SULA: WDSU REPORTER TAMMY
ESTWICK SPOKE TO THAT MAN TAMMY
TAMMY: THAT MAN BLOCK TO THAT
THESE BY USING AN APP ON HIS
PHONE.
>> HE WAS SCOPING OUT THE PLACE,
I GUESS CRIMINALS CAN'T SEE
CAMERAS.
TAMMY: THIS IS A FORMER HARLEM
GLOBE TROTTER TURNED FITNESS
TRAINER ELIJAH HOBLEY.
HE'S TALKING ABOUT AN INCIDENT
JUST THIS WEEK WHERE HE STOPPED
A SUSPECTED BURGLAR FROM
BREAKING INTO HIS GENTILLY HOME.
THIS IS SURVIELLANCE VIDEO OF
THAT INCIDENT.
YOU CAN SEE THE MAN WALK UP TO
THE FRONT DOOR AND BEND DOWN AS
AS IF HE'S LOOKING FOR
SOMETHING.
THEN THROUGH HIS PHONE APPHOBLEY
-- THEN THROUGH HIS PHONE, HE
TOOK CONTROL.
>> JUST TAKES OFF RUNNING.
REPORTER: THAT MOMENT WAS ALSO
CAUGHT ON ONE OF HOBLEY'S MANY
SECURITY CAMERAS.
>> IRIS WHO WANTED MY CAMERAS
BACK AND I THOUGHT HE WENT TO MY
NEIGHBORS HOUSE FIRST AND THEN
TO THE NEXT NEIGHBORS HOUSE
SECOND.
TAMMY: HE SENT THE VIDEO TO HIS
NEIGHBORS.
>> ONE GUY RESPONDED TO ME
SAYING, THIS GUY BROKE INTO MY
HOUSE.
TAMMY: WHAT NEIGHBOR EVEN SENT
HIM A PICTURE OF THE GUY WHO
TRIED TO BREAK INTO THEIR HOUSE.
THE EVENT LEFT HIS FAMILY
UNNERVED.
>> A LITTLE SPOOKY EVERYONE WAS
, NERVOUS LAST NIGHT.
TAMMY: BUT THEY THINK HOBLEY'S A
HERO BECAUSE OF HIS QUICK
THINKING AND SECURITY APP.
TAMMY: HE SAYS THE FUNNIEST PART
OF THE VIDEO IS WHEN THAT CROOK
MAKES A FASTBREAK OUT OF HIS
YARD AND GETS AWAY.
BUT TONIGHT HE'S HOPING SOMEONE
WILL RECOGNIZE THIS MAN AND TURN
HIM IN.
SCOTT: -- SULA: POLICE ARRESTED
A MAN AFTER THEY SAY
HE POINTED AN ASSAULT RIFLE AT
AN NOPD OFFICER.
THAT INCIDENT FORCED THE SWAT
TEAM
TO BLOCK OFF AN APARTMENT
COMPLEX IN NEW ORLEANS EAST.
POLICE SAY THE OFFICER WAS
RESPONDING TO A MEDICAL CALL AT
LAKE WIND EAST APARTMENTS.
INVESTIGATORS SAY A MAN POINTED
HIS WEAPON AT THE OFFICER AND
THAT PROMPTED THE OFFICER TO
OPEN FIRE.
DETECTIVES SAY THE SUSPECT RAN
OFF AND BARRICADED HIMSELF IN AN
APARTMENT WITH 3 OTHER PEOPLE.
POLICE SAY THE SUSPECT
EVENTUALLY SURRENDERED.
NO ONE WAS HURT.
POLICE BOOKED THE MAN AS JOHN
DOE
BECAUSE HE REFUSED TO GIVE HIS
REAL NAME.
POLICE ARE WORKING TO IDENTIFY
HIM THROUGH FINGERPRINTS.
THE TWO WOMEN INVOLVED WERE
QUESTIONED AND RELEASED.
REPUBLICAN SENATE LEADERS
REVEALED THEIR HEALTH CARE PLAN
TODAY.
SCOTT: AND TONIGHT IT'S ALREADY
COMING UNDER FIRE EVEN FROM
MEMBERS OF THEIR OWN PARTY.
WDSU ANCHOR SHAUN KRAISMAN HAS A
BREAKDOWN OF WHAT'S IN THE BILL.
SHAUN: THE BILL, 142 PAGES MUCH
, OF IT CHANGING PARTS OF
OBAMACARE NOT A FULL REPEAL.
AND IT APPEARS THAT COULD BE
ENOUGH TO SINK THIS BILL.
SENATE REPUBLICANS UNVEILING
THEIR SECRETLY WRITTEN HEALTH
CARE PLAN, SO, THE CHANGES,
GRADUALLY DEEPENING CUTS TO
MEDICAID.
REPEALED FOR INDIVIDUAL &
EMPLOYER MANDATES
SO WHAT DOES IT KEEP?
COVERAGE FOR PRE-EXISTING
CONDITIONS, STATES CANNOT OPT
OUT.
KIDS CAN REMAIN ON THEIR
PARENTS' INSURANCE UNTIL AGE 26
THE PLAN WOULD ALSO GIVE TAX
ANDTHE PLAN WOULD ALSO GIVE TAX
CREDITS BASED ON INCOME.
BUT WITH 4 GOP SENATORS SAYING
THEY OPPOSE THE BILL IT MAY
ALREADY BE DOOMED.
>> WE'RE AFRAID THAT WHEN WE
READ THE BILL THAT IS ACTUALLY
LOOKS LIKE A REITERATION OR
KEEPING OF OBAMACARE.
>> IT IS JUST AS BAD IF NOT
WORSE, THE CUTS TO MEDICAID ARE
DEEPER.
IF YOU START TALKING ABOUT LIFE
TIME CAPS AND PREEXISTING
CONDITIONS OF THAT NATURE IT
DOES ALLOW STATES TO START
IMPLEMENTING THOSE THINGS THAT
WERE HARMFUL ALL OVER AGAIN.
SHAUN: NEW ORLEANS MAYOR MITCH
LANDREIU RELEASED THIS STATEMENT
TO US ABOUT HIS THOUGHTS ON THE
PROPOSED HEALTHCARE BILL.
SAYING IN PART IN LOUISIANA THE
, BILL WOULD KILL THE EXPANSION
OF MEDICAID THAT HAS BROUGHT
HEALTH CARE TO MORE THAN FOUR
AND 25,000 RESIDENTS WITH 51,000
OF THIS LIVING RIGHT HERE IN NEW
ORLEANS.
THE PROPOSED BILL WILL TAKE
LOUISIANA BACK TO THE DAYS WHEN
AN EAR INFECTION MEANT A MOTHER
LOSES HER JOB BECAUSE SHE WAITED
HOURS IN AN EMERGENCY ROOM WITH
HER SICK CHILD.
ADULTS WITH AGING PARENTS WILL
AGAIN HAVE SLEEPLESS NIGHTS
WONDERING HOW THEY WILL AFFORD A
, GOOD NURSING HOME THAT
PROVIDES QUALITY CARE.
AMERICA CANNOT BE STRONG IF SHE
IS NOT HEALTHY.
STILL UNKNOWN JUST HOW MUCH THIS
PLAN WOULD COST AND HOW MANY
PEOPLE WOULD BE INSURED.
THE NONPARTISAN CONGRESSIONAL
BUDGET OFFICE IS EVALUATING THAT
RIGHT NOW.
THIS NUMBER SET TO COME OUT
EARLY NEXT WEEK.
BUT TIME IS TICKING.
REPUBLICAN LEADERS ON THIS PASS
BEFORE JULY 4.
SULA: NOW TURNING TO SPORTS AND
THE ANNUAL NBA DRAFT WHICH WAS

SACRAMENTO KINGS.
THAT SAID COUSINS AND ANTHONY

SCOTT: WE WILL HEAR HIM TALK ALL
ABOUT FRANK JACKSON.
FLETCHER: FREE AGENCY IS GOING
TO BE IMPORTANT FOR THE
PELICANS.
WILL JRUE HOLIDAY BE BACK?
THIS IS A VETERAN TEAM SO IT
WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW A
YOUNG 19 ROLE PLAYER FITS IN.
SCOTT: HE MAY NOT MAKE THE
ROSTER.
FLETCHER: THIS WAS A GUY YOU HAD
GOOD FIRST ROUND POTENTIAL.
HE IS A GOOD SHOOTER AND
EVERYONE IN THE NBA NOW NEED
SHOOTING.

SCOTT MCLEAN HAS THE LATEST
CHAPTER OF THE SAGA FROM
WASHINGTON.
>> OH YOU'RE GONNA BE VERY
DISAPPOINTED WHEN YOU HEAR THE
ANSWER.
REPORTER: TAPES OR NO TAPES,
THAT'S THE QUESTION RAISED BY
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP MORE THAN
A MONTH AGO WHEN HE TWEETED
JAMES COMEY BETTER HOPE THAT
, THERE ARE NO 'TAPES' OF OUR
CONVERSATIONS BEFORE HE STARTS
LEAKING TO THE PRESS.
THE TWEET WAS ABOUT THE FBI
DIRECTOR WHO TRUMP HAD JUST
FIRED.
COMEY TESTIFIED UNDER OATH THAT
TRUMP TOLD HIM HE HOPED HE COULD
LET GO OF THE MICHAEL FLYNN
INVESTIGATION SOMETHING TRUMP
, DENIES.
TRUMP'S TWEET RAISED A NUMBER OF
QUESTIONS AND UNTIL NOW NOW THE
WHITE HOUSE NEVER CLEARLY
ANSWERED IF THE PRIVATE OVAL
OFFICE ENCOUNTER WAS TAPED.
>> THE PRESIDENT HAS NOTHING
FURTHER TO ADD ON THAT.
WHEN HE'S READY TO TO MAKE THAT
ANNOUNCEMENT WE'LL LET YOU KNOW.
REPORTER: COMEY HIMSELF SAID
TAPES WOULD CONFIRM HIS VERSION
OF EVENTS
>> I'VE SEEN BETWEEN ABOUT
TAPES.
I HOPE THERE ARE TAPES.
REPORTER: BUT TODAY TRUMP
TWEETED IN PART I HAVE NO
IDEA WHETHER THERE ARE TAPES OR
RECORDINGS OF MY CONVERSATIONS
WITH JAMES COMEY BUT I DID NOT
MAKE AND DO NOT HAVE ANY SUCH
RECORDINGS.
REPORTER: REPUBLICANS HOPE TRUMP
HAS LEARNED A LESSON
>> I THINK HE WILL LEARN THAT
HIS WORDS MATTER.
>> IT DEFINITELY CONSUMES ALL
THE ACCIDENT THAT'S ALL THE
OXYGEN AND DISTRACTS PEOPLE FROM
THE PRIORITIES.
REPORTER: BUT THE TOP DEMOCRAT
ON THE HOUSE INTEL COMMITTEE
ADAM SCHIFF IS NOT QUITE READY
TO MOVE ON.
>> THE PRESIDENT HASN'T
EXPLAINED WHY IF THERE WERE
NEVER TAPES WHY HE MADE THAT
SUGGESTION TO BEGIN WITH.
WAS HE TRYING TO INTIMIDATE
JAMES COMEY?
REPORTER: SCHIFF HAS ASKED THE
WHITE HOUSE TO CONFIRM BY THE
END OF THE WEEK THAT NO ONE MADE
TAPES
IN WASHINGTON, SCOTT MCLEAN.
SULA: NEW AT 10:00,

FINAL DETAILS OF THE CONTRACT
TODAY.
STUDENT FEES AT LSU'S MAIN
CAMPUS WILL INCREASE $270 PER
SEMESTER STARTING NEXT YEAR.
LSU'S GOVERNING BOARD SAID THE
EXTRA MONEY WILL GO TOWARDS PAY
RAISES.
EARLIER THIS WEEK LAWMAKERS
, AGREED TO KEEP A LAW THAT
ALLOWS LOUISIANA COLLEGES AND
UNIVERSITIES TO SET THEIR OWN
FEES.
STUDENTS WHO GET TUITION COVERED
BY TOPS WILL NOT BE EXEMPT FROM
THE EXPENSES AS TOPS DOES NOT
COVER THE INCREASE.
SCOTT: ALSO NEW TONIGHT, A
SHOCKING SCENE IN NEW YORK CITY.
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS BUS ROLLING
BACKWARDS DOWN THE STREET.
POLICE SAY IT WENT FOR TWO
BLOCKS BEFORE CRASHING INTO A
CHURCH.
TWO CARS WERE TOTALED AND OTHER
VEHICLES WERE DAMAGED IN THE
BUS' DESTRUCTIVE PATH.
THE BUS DRIVER HAS BEEN TAKEN
OFF SERVICE BUT IT HAS NOT BEEN
SAID IF SHE'LL LOSE HER JOB.
TONIGHT, PLEASE STILL TRYING TO
FIGURE OUT WHAT LED TO THE
INCIDENT.
AND THEN THERE IS THIS.
AN UNUSUAL FIGHT IN TENNESSEE
YESTERDAY
BECAUSE FOR NO APPARENT REASON
THESE BUCKS STARTED THROWING
JABS.
THE SUSPENSEFUL MATCH LOOKS LIKE
IT COULD BE A CLOSE CALL
BUT THE PUGNACIOUS DEER TAKE
THEIR BRAWL INTO THE WOODS
SO WE MAY NEVER KNOW WHICH ONE
WAS VICTORIOUS
KNIFE FIGHTING FORM.
-- NICE FIGHTING FORM.
WELL, CINDY IS GONE.
MARGARET: WE STILL HAVE ISSUES
WITH CINDY BUT CINDY IS MOVING
INTO ARKANSAS, MAXIMUM WHEN
15-20 MILES PER HOUR.
HERE'S A LOOK AT CINDY MOVING TO
THE NORTHEAST AND BEAR INTO
ARKANSAS.
STILL A LOT OF RAIN WITH IT.
WHAT I REALLY WANT YOU TO NOTICE
IS THE SPAN OF RAIN THAT EXTENDS
THE JUST EAST OF ALEXANDRIA INTO
TEXAS.
THAT IS GOING TO BE SWINGING TO
THE EAST AND COULD CAUSE OF SOME
ISSUE AS WE GO INTO TOMORROW.
RIGHT NOW, RAIN OVER THE
SHANDLER SOUNDED DOWN TO THE
MOUTH OF THE MISSED CITY RIVER.
-- MISSISSIPPI RIVER.
THE BIG PROBLEM HAS BEEN THE
WIND.
THE WIND PUSHING WATER ONTO THE
COAST, PUSHING WATER ONTO THE
NORTH SHORE AND THE MISSISSIPPI
GULF COAST.
WE STILL HAVE THIS COASTAL FLOOD
ADVISORY IN EFFECT TOMORROW
MORNING.
THE WATERS RUNNING 1-3 FEET
ABOVE NORMAL.
SOUTH SHORE AT THE LAKE, YOU'RE
GOING, GOSH, I THOUGHT IT WOULD
BE ROUGH.
ON THE SOUTH SHORE, THE WATER IS
NOT AS HIGH AREA IT IS BEING
PUSHED TO THE NORTH SHORE.
THIS IS MY FAVORITE PICTURE OF
THE DAY.
NOT THE BEST WAY TO GET AROUND
BUT I WANT YOU TO NOTICE, THE
WAYS, -- THE WAVES AND THE MOSS
BLOWING IN THE TREES.
YOU CAN SEE THE WATER BEING
PUSHED ONSHORE.
WHEN IS THE WIND GOING TO DIE
DOWN.
IT IS BEGINNING TO DIE DOWN AT
THE SOUTH.
ABOUT 14 MILES PER HOUR.
GUESSING AT TIMES ABOUT 24
MONSTER HOUR.
AS YOU LOOK AT THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS, WE'RE STILL GOING TO SEE
SOME WIND.
IN THE MORNING, NOT AS BAD AS
TODAY.
WINDS GUSTING AT 39 MILES PER
HOUR.
AS YOU GO INTO THE EVENING
HOURS, THAT IS WHEN THE WIND IS
FINALLY GOING TO BEGIN TO
SUBSIDE.
YOU WILL GET SOME RELIEF.
WHAT ABOUT HIGH TIDES TOMORROW?
GREAT OUTCOME IN THE MORNING,
LEGALLY, YOU ARE IN THE
AFTERNOON.
SOUTHWEST PASS IN THE MORNING.
SO WE STILL HAVE THIS COASTAL
FLOOD ADVISORY IN THE SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY WITH THE WIND OUT
OF THE SOUTH AT 20-25 KNOTS.
TOMORROW NIGHT I DO THINK WE'RE
GOING TO BEGIN TO SEE SOME
RELIEF.
CHECK OUT THE RAINFALL AND HERE
IS A LOOK AT THE RAIN CHANCES
GOING INTO TOMORROW.
AS YOU GO LATER IN THE DAY, WE
GET SOME HEATING AND THE BAND OF
RAIN WE SAW TO THE WEST,
SWINGING TO THE NORTHEAST AND I
THINK IT WILL HELP PULL MORE
RAIN INTO OUR AREA.
BE AWARE OF THAT POTENTIAL.
HERE IS A LOOK AT THE FORECAST
MODEL WITH THE REMNANTS OF AND
THE HEADING -- OF CINDY HEADING
OVER TO MEMPHIS.
THERE IS THE COLD FRONT HEADED
TO THE SOUTH.
THAT COLD FRONT WILL BE PUSHING
THROUGH AS WE GET INTO LAKE
SUNDAY, EARLY MONDAY A 60%
CHANCE OF RAIN FOR YOUR FRIDAY.
60% FOR YOUR SUNDAY.
DON'T GET TOO EXCITED, YOU WILL
HAVE A BREAKS IN THE RAIN, JUST
LIKE TODAY YOU HAD SOME
SUNSHINE.
BETTER CHANCE OF GETTING RAIN IN
THE METRO AREA TOMORROW.
AS YOU GO TO SUNDAY, NORTHEAST
FLOW.
IT WILL SEND IN SOME DRIER AIR.
THE HUMIDITY IS VERY HIGH.
IT IS ONE OF THOSE NIGHTS WHERE
YOU WALK OUT AND YOU ARE WEARING
THAT HUMIDITY.
