RIGHT
RIGHT NOW
RIGHT NOW WHERE WE'RE STILL TRYING TO LEARN MORE FROM POLICE
ABOUT A DEADLY SHOOTING THAT
HAPPENED RIGHT ON CIRCULAR
AVENUE AROUND 7 30 LAST NIGHT.
NOW WE KNOW WHAT 26 YEAR OLD MAN
WAS KILLED, BUT WE'RE STILL
TRYING TO FIND OUT HIS NAME AND
ANY INFORMATION ON A POTENTIAL
SUSPECT, SO WE'LL KEEP YOU
POSTED AND GOVERNOR LAMONT
SWEEPING NEW GUN BILL IS MOVING
FORWARD AT THE STATE CAPITAL.
SUPPORTERS HOPE THAT THE
LEGISLATION WILL CURB VIOLENCE
ACROSS CONNECTICUT. THIS BILL
JUST PASSED IN THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES AND IS NOW ON
ITS WAY TO THE SENATE FOR A
POSSIBLE VOTE. THIS LEGISLATION
WOULD PROHIBIT PEOPLE FROM
CARRYING FIREARMS OPENLY IN
PUBLIC, AND IT WOULD BAN
UNREGISTERED GHOST GUNS IN THE
STATE. THE BILL WOULD ALSO LIMIT
HANDGUN PURCHASES TO THREE OVER
A 30 DAY PERIOD, AND IT WOULD
EXPAND SAFE STORAGE. ALSO
HAPPENING TODAY FOR THE WOMAN
LINKED TO THE DISAPPEARANCE OF
JENNIFER DO LOWS, SHE'S GOING TO
HAVE TO APPEAR IN COURT AGAIN
MICHELLE TURKOMANS, WHO FACES A
NUMBER OF CHARGES WILL NOW FACE
A JUDGE TODAY FOR A PRETRIAL
HEARING IN CONNECTION TO THE
DISAPPEARANCE OF THE MOTHER OF
FIVE DUOS WAS LAST SEEN ON IN
MAY OF 2019, HER ESTRANGED
HUSBAND PHOTOS. DELOS WAS LATER
CHARGED WITH HER MURDER, BUT HE
KILLED HIMSELF A SHORT TIME
LATER. CONUS, WHO WASDATING
PHOTOS. DELOS AT THE TIME, FACES
MULTIPLE CHARGES, INCLUDING
CONSPIRACY TO COMMIT MURDER AND
TAMPERING WITH EVIDENCE. AND
TODAY IN MERIDEN, WE'RE
EXPECTING TO LEARN MORE ABOUT A
WILD STREET TAKEOVER THAT
HAPPENED EARLIER THIS MONTH,
POLICE SAY. A LARGE CROWD
STARTED A RIOT AND TARGETED
AMERICAN POLICE CRUISER
CRIMINALS CAUSED ABOUT $2000
WORTH OF DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE.
AND POLICE SAY THAT THEY HAVE
OBTAINED SURVEILLANCEVIDEO OF
THE RIOT AND THEY'RE WORKING
THIS MORNING AND WE ARE WORKING
THIS MORNING ALSO TO GET OUR
HANDS ON THAT FOOTAGE, BUT WE
WILL CONTINUE TO LEARN MORE
ABOUT THIS DEVELOPING SITUATION
AT A NEWS CONFERENCE IT'S SET
FOR 9 A.M. OUR STATE IS STILL
DEALING WITH A MAJOR TEACHER
SHORTAGE. AND NOW DISTRICT
LEADERS IN SOUTHINGTON EXPECT TO
HAVE SIX FEWER EDUCATORS IN
THEIR CLASSROOMS NEXT YEAR. THE
CUTS ARE TIED TO A BUDGET
REDUCTION. THE CHANGE MEANS THAT
SIXTH GRADE STUDENTS WILL HAVE
TO DEAL WITH LARGER CLASS SIZES
. THREE TEACHERS WOULD BE CUT IN
EACH OF THE TWO MIDDLE SCHOOLS,
AND NATURALLY, SOME PEOPLE ARE
NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS MOVE. THE
SUPERINTENDENT SAYS. THE
DECISION ISN'T FINAL, BUT IT'S
THE ONLY AREA THAT THEY CAN CUT.
SIXTH GRADE IS SUCH A CRUCIAL
TRANSITIONING POINT THERE. OUR
YOUNGEST MIDDLE SCHOOLERS, UM
THAT IS PROBABLY THE BIGGEST
REASON WHY I THINK THIS IS A
MISTAKE. YOU NEVER REALLY WANT
TO MOVE TEACHERS OUT OF
ASSIGNMENTS THAT THEY'RE
COMFORTABLE WITH. THESE ARE
THEIR COLLEAGUES, THEIR WORK
FAMILIES. UM BUT AT TIMES YOU
KNOW, BUMPING IN ASSIGNMENTS OR
CHANGING ASSIGNMENTS AS PART OF
THE BUSINESS. THE BOARD OF ED
WILL VOTE ON THE PROPOSAL ON
JUNE 8TH AND THE SIX TEACHERS
WILL NOT BE FIRED. THEY'RE GOING
TO BE OFFERED NEW POSITIONS THAT
ARE OPENING UP BECAUSE OF
TEACHERS RETIRING OR RESIGNING.
THE CELTICS ARE STAYING ALIVE
AFTER TOPPING THE HEAT IN GAME
FIVE OF THE EASTERN CONFERENCE
FINALS. THE FIRE WAS BACK IN THE
FIRST HALF IS BOSTON SCORED BIG
ON FAST BREAKS AND THREE
POINTERS. AND THEN IN THE THIRD
QUARTER, THE BOSTON DEFENSE WAS
PRETTY STIFLING, PROVING TO BE
TOO MUCH FOR MIAMI. THE CELTICS
ROLE IN GAME 51 10 TO 97. MIAMI
STILL HAS THIS SERIES LEAD 3 TO
2. GAME SIX IS SATURDAY NIGHT IN
MIAMI AND HAPPENING TODAY. THE
YUKON HUSKIES MEN'S BASKETBALL
TEAM WILL BE HONORED AT THE
WHITE HOUSE FOR THEIR NCAA
CHAMPIONSHIP WIN. THIS IS YUKONS
FIFTH VISIT TO THE WHITE HOUSE.
THE CEREMONIES WILL KICK OFF
TONIGHT AT FIVE. WELL THEY MIGHT
BE DEALING WITH A LITTLE BIT OF
CLOUD COVERAGE AND SOME SHOWERS
DOWN IN D. C BUT NOT FOR US HERE
IN CONNECTICUT. HOW EVERYBODY.
GOOD MORNING 703 ON THIS FRIDAY,
