You're watching 11 Alive Morning News.
11 minutes of nonstop news
starts now. New details
coming forward from local agencies
about the response to the Midtown mass
shooting. The large role the Atlanta
Fire Department played concerns this
morning over student safety after a
stabbing at a Henry County school.
The response from school officials?
Grab your umbrella or the
rain gear you're going to
need it for This morning.
We have some scattered showers, even
some thunderstorms out there,
and I'll break it down for you
in the full forecast coming up.
Now the good news is we cleaned
up most of the wrecks out there.
The bad news is we've got
plenty of volume and a lot more
folks hitting those wet roads.
And Northside Medical Midtown will remain
closed again today after an active
shooter there last week.
Every day there is a new layer
in the investigation and new
stories of the heroics that day.
11 lies. Molly Oak has more.
Northside Medical in Midtown is still closed
today after an active shooter last week.
We talked with the firefighters at Station
19 about when they heard the call change
from a person shot to an active shooter.
A FD says multiple engines and trucks,
command units and dozens and
dozens of people were on the move.
The firefighters at 19 told us they
also had to wear protective gear,
different from their day-to-day,
meaning bulletproof vests.
Now the firefighters say they're looking out
for one another while they're still grieving.
Last week, the police chief also
praised the first responders,
saying without their quick efforts that
tragedy could have been so much worse.
Guys.
Sticking with your 11 minutes
of nonstop news this morning,
Atlanta police are investigating a
shooting that left two people dead.
It happened about 12 hours ago
near the Grove Park Recreation
Center That's in northwest Atlanta.
Police say they found two men in
critical condition when they got there.
They later died at the hospital.
Right now they say it appears
there was some sort of argument
and it escalated to gunfire.
Originally, police said a third
person had been shot in the leg.
Later, they say they've been unable
to locate that third victim.
Marta police held a full scale training.
Been in downtown Atlanta over the weekend.
Marta police staff and 1st responders
participated while actors played
out a mock protest situation.
One Marta official says real life
events inspired the training. While
you were sleeping,
a fire broke out at Georgia
Power Stockbridge substation.
It cost a blackout in the area.
Around 10,000 customers didn't
have power for about an hour.
This morning.
Georgia Power says it's all been restored.
We're working to learn more
about what started that fire
and that was a look at your
Monday morning headlines.
Get out for a wet Monday morning
drive, Chesley, good morning.
Absolutely right.
Kind of a flip from where we
were just last week, right?
We had the clear skies,
we had the cooler conditions.
Now we got warmer temperatures and we
got the wet weather to deal with that.
More moist air will be
over us unstable as well.
So we're seeing a few little thunderstorms
passing through the area as we speak.
Some of the heaviest rain right now you
can see just to the West of Mossy Creek.
That orange in there indicates
some very heavy rain.
The yellow would be some moderate
rain coming down also moving into
northern parts of Gwinnett County
as well over towards Sugar Hill.
Got some very heavy rain headed your way.
I haven't seen any lightning
strikes associated with this.
We had some back off to the West when
it was over toward the Canton area,
but now starting to settle
down just a little bit.
More of the isolated or scattered
showers continue to pop up now down
toward the metro area where we didn't
have anything all morning long.
Now we're starting to see a few of those
showers popping up over toward Douglasville,
just to the east of Smyrna.
We do have a little heavy pocket there.
Again, haven't seen any lightning strikes.
Had a few up toward Roswell area,
but that has begun to subside as well.
We're going to hold on to the threat for
rain at least through about noon today,
1:00 o'clock.
2:00 o'clock.
Thereafter you're looking at 77
degrees for your temperature.
Their high will be 82 for this
afternoon as the clouds begin to
break up partly sunny skies by 7:00.
O'clock will be down to 79 degrees by then,
still very warm.
That's where we should be for a high
this time of year, believe it or not,
not a whole lot going on.
We've been watching what's been taking place.
You can see these showers up
here toward the Kentucky,
into Tennessee,
and then making their way down toward us.
You see more back off to the West.
So if these hold together,
they will make it down here as well.
And so we're going to hold on to the
threat of the rain in the forecast
at least through early afternoon.
Notice the severe weather threat in the
yellow slight risk is up here to the north,
north of the Memphis area,
north of Nashville.
The dark green extends down into our state.
That is a level one threat or a marginal
risk for severe weather which means.
Any of the thunderstorms that happen
to erupt today could have some
gusty winds associated with them.
Of course the heavy downpours,
and we've already seen that
extends over into Union towns.
County,
northern parts of Floyd County
doesn't go all the way into Rome,
but because you're close enough,
I'd say you need to be on
the lookout as well.
That light green just means a
general threat for thunderstorms
going to hold on to the rain
threat for tomorrow or Tuesday.
30% chance for the rain.
Not everyone gets wet,
but it'll be out there even lower for
Thursday and over for Wednesday and Thursday.
By Friday that rain chance starts
to go back up just a little bit.
So an unsettled week for us.
Here it is, our forecast track model.
You can follow along with me with the
time right there at the top of the
screen shows the threat for those
showers again remaining in the forecast
even as we head through the afternoon.
I think after one o'clock becomes
a little bit more isolated.
OK, isolated showers around.
Gonna hold on to a few of
those clouds of the overnight.
That means we'll start off on Tuesday
morning under mostly cloudy skies.
Threat for a shower to certainly does exist.
We got a front that's going
to be making its way through.
The area behind it will begin to dry it out.
Between Wednesday we'll have
that sunshine around,
mostly sunny skies for much of
the day before a few more clouds
move back into the forecast area.
I think Wednesday will be the warmest
of the week as well at 86 and my
pick for the week 81 by Thursday
under partly sunny skies and that
rain comes back to us by Friday,
headed into the weekend.
Also starting this morning,
G dot says Kimball Bridge Rd.
Over 400 will close for a year.
The replacement project between North
Point Parkway is going to right near
North Point Parkway and Northwinds Pkwy,
all part of the 400 express lane project.
That's going to involve
replacing the current bridge,
beginning the construction
of those express lanes.
G dot says the new bridge will provide
two travel lanes in each direction,
a center median,
wide sidewalks and on both sides,
and improved lighting.
Aisha
crash, thank you, a stabbing.
Out of Henry County High School put the
building on a soft lockdown on Friday.
Students at Woodland High School
will be back in class this morning.
A spokesperson says a pocket knife
was used in a stabbing and another
student is expected to face charges.
A source with knowledge of the
situation says that student who was
hurt has non life threatening injuries.
The district responded to the
incident saying in part, quote,
we cannot stress enough that
weapons were dangerous.
Objects of any kind are never
allowed on our campus.
This morning, investigators in Texas
are trying to determine what led to a
gunman opening fire at an outlet mall,
killing eight people.
After your 11 minutes of nonstop news,
the Today Show picks up our coverage.
Here's Morgan Chesky with a preview.
Yeah, good morning in less than 48 hours
after the shooting took place here at AN.
Allen, TX Outland Mall We are learning
disturbing new details about the one
man police say pulled the trigger.
They've not only identified him,
but they've said that they recovered
more ammunition inside his vehicle,
just feet away from where this
horrific shooting took place.
Coming up here from witnesses
who hid inside stores doing
whatever they could to survive.
New This morning,
a report from People magazine says
actor and singer Jamie Foxx is not
in a life threatening situation.
Now People cites a source within
the awardwinning actor circle.
According to that source,
doctors are doing more tests to
be completely sure he is okay.
Before allowing him to leave
the hospital here in Atlanta,
Fox was here in town working on his new
Netflix movie Back in Action when he
was hospitalized nearly a month ago.
Last week, a post on his Instagram
says he appreciated all the
love and was feeling blessed.
Fox experienced a medical complication,
but there are no details
on exactly what happened.
Just hours from now,
we are going to hear from Senator John
Ossoff about resources to revitalize
the historic Sweet Auburn neighborhood
and the businesses in that district.
Senator Ossoff will be talking
with local leaders and business
owners this morning at 11.
He'll also talk about Sweet
Auburn's Work Spark Innovation Lab.
It offers training,
mentorship and assistance to businesses.
We've been covering a community effort
to revitalize the Sweet Auburn area.
You'll find much more on 11 live.com.
This morning we're sharing new details
from the creators of Stranger Things.
If you're a fan of the show,
you're going to have to wait a little bit
longer to watch that 5th and final season.
Production of the show is now on pause.
This is because of the writers strike
over the weekend the Deffer Brothers
who created and produced a show.
They tweeted about the delay saying
writing does not stop when filming begins.
They go on to say they hope
a fair deal is reached soon.
This morning we are taking you
inside a program helping to bring
cheer to kids going through a lot.
Meet Blanche. And Marvel,
the two newest members of the Canines kids
team at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.
Blanche is going to spend time at
Scottish Rite while Marvel is the first
ever facility dog at Hugh Spalding,
the manager for the program says.
These dogs help distract the kids so
they can better focus on their treatment
and therapy without even realizing it,
because taking care of the dogs helps them
to work on their problem solving skills,
their memory and physical therapy sessions.
Being funny,
keep licking me.
I make jokes
all the time, whatever, and she
just puts a smile on my face
by helping me more.
The mirror says that being with a
therapy dog helps him work on his goals,
and those with the program say their
heart melts every time they see how these
dogs help heal kids from the inside out.
Those smiles say it all, Chesley.
Absolutely they do.
I wish we had some sunshine
to help out with that as well,
but not so much today.
Mostly cloudy skies with the
chance for a few isolated showers,
especially as we head toward
the afternoon 77 degrees.
But will you temperature by noon
on our way to 80 to 83 degrees
for an afternoon high today?
It's going to be a warm one out there
and getting warmer as we go by 6.
6:00 O'clock You're looking
at partly sunny skies,
temperatures right near the 80 degree mark.
Take a look at this.
The community showed up in a big way for
the inaugural run with Mod 5K this morning.
The final count is in 4000.
People were part of it raised $200,000.
The race honored Ahmaud Arbery,
who was shot and killed as he was jogging in
a Brunswick neighborhood three years ago.
His mother, Wanda Cooper Jones.
That she was inspired by the big turnout.
The money will support the Ahmaud
Arbery Foundation and its mission to
give resources to black teenage boys.
That is phenomenal. Way to go,
Miss Wanda Cooper Jones for allowing
her son's legacy to have great meaning.
Yeah, Jackie Joyner Crusey
had the finish line there.
She cheering him on.
All right, stay safe out there.
Stay dry out there, everybody.
We'll see you back here tomorrow morning.
