Bailey here with what's on the way and
went yeah hopefully our starters snow
last week would sort of give us a heads
up on this but it is going to be a
pretty light amount although the snow is
coming down it's starting to accumulate
most of what we're gonna see is gonna be
on grassy surfaces tonight and you can
start to see the back end to sort of get
shredded out but that still south wants
to Fort Wayne so we get several hours of
snow left to go in fact temperatures
just now started to get below freezing
in a lot of spots 31 and Pontiac Metro
still above that at 34 and the east side
still on the mild side as well so here's
the bottom line between now and 4:00

the entire area there's not going to be
much variation in the amounts generally
around one inch we'll break that down

demin an unbelievable scene in Troy
tonight after a 20 year-old man is
accused of bludgeoning his aunt to death
in their upscale home and tonight he's
in custody but the neighborhood has been
on lockdown pretty much all night Maura
McDonnell is live in the Troy Lake
Estates subdivision and Maura police say
jumped out of a second-story window to
try to get away and it took Devon a
group of canine tracking dogs and a
chopper to ultimately track him down at
a nearby golf course
Troi police setting up a perimeter
blocks away from the home and checking
IDs in order to get into the subdivision
at the heart of this case is an extended
family that owns three homes here all
are being gone through after a 20 year
old man got into an argument with his
aunt and beat her to death with a
dumbbell he left her in the basement of
one of the homes and took off to another
when police arrived he jumped out the
second-floor window and took off running
on foot pursuit would take place at
first and then we had a k-9 arrived to
do attract we tracked him over into the
golf course office off boulevard
neighbors had no idea what had happened
until a swarm of police descended on the
subdivision and the golf course we were
out on the back porch and all of a
sudden there's a helicopter circling and
police are running and driving all over
the golf course there was dogs officers
on foot were running through the
subdivision ultimately cornering him on
the sanctuary Lake Golf Course hiding
behind a bush all of a sudden two cops
came out from the backyard and there was
about six cops to jump the fence real
fast and then ran straight towards the
golf course into the brush and another
ten minutes went by and then they all
came back and I think that's when they
that's when they apprehended the person
back here alive the manhunt prompted the
lockdown of four troy schools kids who
were in the middle of dismissal and on
the bus
on the way home had to be turned around
and sent back to the school once that 20
year old was captured kids were allowed
to come back home when I asked Troy PD

any of these homes out here that this
extended family lives in and they said
no not to their knowledge

difficult

huge cloud of smoke and you know you
could smell it as time elapsed it became
clear the wildfires were threatening

blowing and how it was sort of coming
closer that's when it sort of turned
