>> Ginger: A MAJOR MILESTONE IN NEWS 6’S MISSION TO DRIVE CHANGE.
LAWMAKERS EMBRACE AFTER A BILL
THAT WOULD MAKE TEXTING AND
DRIVING A PRIMARY OFFENSE PASSES
THE HOUSE.
>> Lisa: AND BREAKING RIGHT NOW
AT 6:00, NEW VIDEO FROM INSIDE A
WALGREEN’S, SHOWING A MAN ARMED
WITH A RIFLE, MOMENTS BEFORE HE
IS SHOT BY POLICE.
>> Ginger: AND NEW BREAKING
DEVELOPMENTS IN THE BREAKING
NEWS WE’VE BEEN COVERING SINCE
4:00.
IN THE PAST HOUR, WE’VE RECEIVED
NEW VIDEO OF A POLICE SHOOTING
OF AN ARMED ROBBERY SUSPECT AT
WALGREEN’S.
>> Lisa: YEAH, POLICE SAY HE WAS
ARMED WITH A RIFLE WHEN HE
WALKED INTO THE STORE, DEMANDING
DRUGS AND MONEY.
THIS HAPPENED AT THE STORE NEAR
WEST INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY
BOULEVARD AND SOUTH RIDGEWOOD
AVENUE IN DAYTONA.
NADEEN YANES IS JOINING US LIVE
WITH THE VIDEO.
>> Reporter: WHEN YOU SEE THE
SURVEILLANCE VIDEO, YOU’LL SEE
WHY THE DEPUTY CHIEF SAID THEY
WERE BLESSED TODAY THAT NO ONE
ELSE WAS HURT.
IT STARTS BEHIND THE PHARMACY
COUNTER WHERE THE SUSPECT WALKS
UP AROUND 12:50, HOLDING
SOMETHING TO HIS SIDE.
THE EMPLOYEE WAS SEEMINGLY
UNSUSPICIOUS UNTIL HE JUMPS
OVER-THE-COUNTER.
WHEN HE JUMPS OVER-THE-COUNTER,
YOU CAN SEE THE RIFLE STICKING
OUT OF A PIECE OF CLOTHING.
THE EMPLOYEES THEN, OBVIOUSLY
RATTLED.
MANY OF THEM TAKING OFF.
FROM A DIFFERENT ANGLE, A FEW
MINUTES LATER, ANOTHER SHOT FROM
VIDEO SHOWS MINUTES LATER THE
SUSPECT IS BEHIND THE COUNTER.
HE’S CROUCHED DOWN.
THE GUN IS ON HIS LAP.
WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL THIS,
HE INJECTS HIMSELF WITH A NEEDLE
POLICE SAY INSIDE IS DRUGS, NOT
ONCE BUT TWICE.
BY NOW, OFFICERS ARE INSIDE.
VIDEO SHOWS TWO OF THEM CONFRONT
THE GUNMAN.
ONE OF THEM ENDS UP FIRING,
WHICH YOU CAN’T SEE.
BUT YOU CAN SEE A COMPUTER
SCREEN BREAK.
THE SUSPECT THEN CRAWLS OUT OF
THE SCENE.
THE VIDEO IS JUST WHAT WE GOT
IN.
THERE WERE FOUR DIFFERENT PARTS
TO IT.
WHAT WE KNOW IS THAT THE SUSPECT
WAS SHOT ONE TIME IN THE BACK.
HE IS EXPECTED TO BE OKAY.
THERE WERE ABOUT 10 OTHER PEOPLE
IN THE STORE.
THEY ALL GOT OUT SAFELY.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE VIDEO, YOU
CAN OBVIOUSLY SEE WHY THE DEPUTY
CHIEF TODAY SAID THEY’RE BLESSED
NO ONE ELSE WAS HURT, ADDING THE
SUSPECT HAD TWO FULLY LOADED
MAGAZINES ON HIM AS WELL, THAT
HE WAS THERE DEMANDING DRUGS AND
NOT ANYTHING MORE.

IN ORANGE COUNTY TONIGHT,
VANESSA ARAIZA, GETTING RESULTS,
NEWS 6.
>> Lisa: THANK YOU.
NOW TO THAT MAJOR HURDLE PASSED
IN THE STATE HOUSE TODAY.
>> Ginger: YEAH, A BILL THAT
WOULD MAKE TEXTING AND DRIVING A
PRIMARY OFFENSE MOVES FORWARD.
NOW IT IS HEADING TO THE SENATE.
NEWS 6’S MISSION TO DRIVE
CHANGES DATES BACK TO 2016 WHEN
MATT AUSTIN WAS SERIOUSLY HURT
IN A CRASH BY A DRIVER WHO
ADMITTED TO TEXTING AND DRIVING.
SINCE THEN, MATT AUSTIN AND NEWS
6 HAVE MADE A COMMITMENT TO
DRIVING CHANGE AND GETTING
RESULTS TO KEEP US ALL SAFER ON
THE ROADS.
THE FIGHT LED MATT TO TESTIFY IN
THE STATE LEGISLATURE MORE THAN
OCE NOW.
MATT JOINS US LIVE IN
TALLAHASSEE.
WHAT A HUGE DAY TODAY.
WE SAY THAT OFTEN AND THEN WE
GET DISAPPOINTED BUT HOUSE BILL
107 IS NOW HEADING TO THE
SENATE.
>> Matt: IT’S A BIG STEP.
AND JUST BEING HERE IN
TALLAHASSEE, YOU CAN TELL
THERE’S CONSENSUS IN BOTH THE
SENATE AND THE HOUSE THAT SOME
MEANINGFUL TEXTING AND DRIVING
LEGISLATION NEEDS TO HAPPEN THIS
SESSION.
THE QUESTION IS, WHAT DOES THAT
LOOK LIKE?
THE HOUSE, AS YOU SAID, THEY
TOOK A BIG STEP TODAY, BUT IT
WAS NOT WITHOUT CONFLICT.
>> IT WAS A DAY OF INTENSE
EMOTION.
>> IN 2011, I LOST MY SISTER TO
A DISTRACTED DRIVER.
AT THE AGE OF 48.
AND THE LAST TIME WE RAN THIS
BILL, I COULDN’T EVEN STAY ON
THE FLOOR.
>> Matt: AND FRANK DISCUSSIONS.
>> THESE ARE ISSUES THAT WE
CANNOT JUST BRUSH UNDER THE RUG.
THESE ARE ISSUES THAT IN THE
CURRENT CLIMATE OF OUR NATIONAL
DISCOURSE, PEOPLE ARE AFRAID TO
GET INTO THESE DEBATES.
>> Matt: TEXTING AND DRIVING
COMPANION BILLS UP FOR DEBATE IN
EACH CHAMBER.
THIS MORNING, THE SENATE VERSION
FACED NO QUESTIONS AND NO
AMENDMENTS AND WAS READY FOR A
FULL VOTE TOMORROW.
OVER IN THE HOUSE, HOWEVER, THE
ISSUE OF RACIAL PROFILING BY LAW
ENFORCEMENT TOOK CENTER STAGE.
>> YES, THERE ARE BAD ACTORS.
BUT WE MUST KEEP IN MIND THAT
LESS THAN ONE-HALF OF 1% OF
POLICE OFFICERS MISFIT THAT
UNIFORM.
>> THIS IS BAD FOR MY COMMUNITY.
BECAUSE THE INTENTION IS GOOD.
BUT IN APPLICATION, WE’RE GOING
TO LOOK BACK AND I WANT YOU TO
REMEMBER THESE WORDS.
WE’RE GOING TO LOOK BACK AND
WE’RE GOING TO SAY, "BOY, WERE
WE WRONG."
>> Matt: MANY MEMBERS OF THE
HOUSE WEIGHED IN ON THE DEBATE.
>> I’M UP ON THE BILL 100%, I
AM, BUT I HAVE GOT TO BRING THE
CONCERNS FORWARD OF PEOPLE THAT
LOOK LIKE ME.
I WOULD BE DERELICT IF I DID NOT
DO THAT FROM THIS FLOOR.
>> RACISM IS STILL ALIVE, WE
KNOW THAT, BUT THIS FLOOR IS
BASED ON SAVING LIVES FROM
PEOPLE TEXTING AND DRIVING.
IF YOU DON’T SEE THAT, YOU’RE
BLIND.
>> Matt: IN THE END A MAJORITY
OF THE MEMBERS SIDED WITH SAFETY
AND PUSHING FOR A STRONGER LAW
THAT’S FAR FROM PERFECT.
>> THIS BILL IS ABOUT ONE THING
AND ONE THING ONLY.
IT’S ABOUT SAVING LIVES, TO
ENSURE THAT OTHERS DON’T HAVE TO
LOSE LOVED ONES.
>> Matt: SO HERE’S WHERE WE ARE
RIGHT NOW.
THAT HOUSE BILL THAT PASSED
FOCUSES STRICTLY ON TEXTING
WHILE DRIVING, TYPING INTO YOUR
PHONE AS YOU’RE DRIVING.
THE SENATE BILL IS MUCH
DIFFERENT.
IT WOULD MAKE FLORIDA A
HANDS-FREE STATE IF PASSED
THROUGH ITS CHAMBER TOMORROW.
THE QUESTION IS, HOW DO YOU COME
TO A COMPROMISE ON THESE TWO
BILLS?
MOST PEOPLE SEEM TO THINK IT CAN
HAPPEN.
WHAT THE FINAL PRODUCT WILL LOOK
LIKE, IT’S ANYBODY’S GUESS RIGHT
NOW.
WE’LL BE HERE.
WE’RE STAYING THE NIGHT.
WE’LL BE HERE TOMORROW TO FOLLOW
IT AS IT HAPPENS LIVE FROM
TALLAHASSEE.
LADIES, BACK TO YOU.
>> Lisa: ALL RIGHT.
MATT AUSTIN, THANK YOU.

OUT AND FIZZLES OUT.
OVER THE WEEKEND WE’RE BACK TO A
20% CHANCE FOR A SCATTERED
