ROUTINE PATROL WERE FOUND
BOUND ON REMINGTON AT DERBY
AS THEY APPROACHED THE
INTERSECTION THEY HEARD
SEVERAL SHOTS BEING FIRED AS
THEY CONTINUED TO ADVANCE
EASTBOUND DIRECTION THEY
LOOKED AND SAW A SUSPECT
WITH WHAT APPEARED TO BE AN
ASSAULT-TYPE RIFLE, A
MAGAZINE A LARGE CAPACITY
MAGAZINE AND BEGAN TO FIRE
SHOTS AT THE OFFICERS.
AT THAT POINT TO AVOID BEING
STRUCK BY GUNFIRE THE
OFFICERS QUICKLY ACCELERATED
EASTBOUND OUT OF THE FIELD
OF FIRE.
HERE'S WHAT WE KNOW THREE
SUSPECTS WERE IN THE AREA.
THE ONE ARMED WITH THE
WEAPON WAS WEARING ALL BLACK
IT APPEARED THAT HE MAY HAVE
HAD A WHITE T-SHIRT UNDER A
BLACK JACKET.
WE DO HAVE AN IMAGE OF THE
SUSPECT WE'RE IN THE PROCESS
OF TRYING TO ENHANCE IT SO
WE CAN GET IT OUT TO YOU.
AGAIN, OFFICERS TRAVELLING

AMBUSHED NOW WHAT WE DON'T
KNOW WE DO KNOW THERE IS A
DRUG HOUSE ON THIS BLOCK AND
THERE'S BEEN A RIFT BETWEEN
TWO OPPOSING DRUG GANGS, IF
YOU WILL, AS OF RECENT.
WE DON'T KNOW IF THE INITIAL
VOLLEY OF FIRE WAS TARGETED
AT A DRUG HOUSE ON THIS
BLOCK BUT THAT SAID, AS THE
OFFICERS CAME INTO THE VIEW
OF THE SUSPECT HE TOOK IT
UPON HIMSELF TO START FIRING
AT OFFICERS.
>> WE'VE SEEN OFFERS GOING
DOOR-TO-DOOR AT THIS POINT.
NOW?
>> WE DO A GRID SEARCH.
WE BELIEVE THE SUSPECT IS
STILL IN THE AREA AND SO

THE PUBLIC'S HELP.
RIGHT AFTER THIS SHOOTING
INCIDENT WE HAD A NUMBER OF
TIPS COME IN OVER 911 WHO
REPORTED SEEING THE SUSPECT
POINT THE WEAPON AT THE

AT&T PARK.
TUESDAY NIGHT'S SHOW WAS
INCIDENT.
CIRQUE DU SOLIEL OFFICIALS
GATHERING INFORMATION ABOUT
WHAT HAPPENED BUT THAT THEY
ARE THERE FOR THE VICTIM'S
FAMILY.
>>> IT'S WEATHER TIME LET'S
GET STARTED WITH OUR 4 ZONE
TEMPERATURES AND ONE OF
OTHER.
WE'VE GOT LOW AND MIDDLE 50s
IN OUR METRO NORTH AND SOUTH
ZONES BUT HOWELL AT 47, A
LITTLE MORE CLOUD COVER COLD
FRONT HAS ALREADY PULLED
THROUGH THAT AREA SO IT IS
COOLING FROM WEST TO EAST
BUT STILL ANOTHER COUPLE
HOURS HERE OF MIDDLE 50s
ESPECIALLY ON THE I GUESS
EAST SIDE OF 275.
55° COOLING DOWN THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON.
35 DEGREES OVERNIGHT SO
WE'RE GETTING BACK INTO
THE CHILL.
JUST A QUICK CHECK ON OUR
SOUTH.
THIS IS THE AREA WITH MASSIVE
WILDFIRES AND SEVERE
WEATHER.
27 TORNADO REPORTS OVER THE
LAST 24 HOURS AND THEY'VE
BEEN DEADLY IN PARTS OF THE
DEEP SOUTH AND THE WINDS ARE
STARTING TO RELAX A LITTLE
BIT.
STILL HAVE A WIND ADVISORY
BUT THE LATEST CHECK 10 TO
15 MILES-PER-HOUR WINDS
PRETTY HEAVY RAIN.
THAT IS GOOD FOR THOSE
WILDFIRES AND SO BADLY
NEEDED.
KNOXVILLE, BIRMINGHAM,
ALABAMA, JACKSON,
MISSISSIPPI, ATLANTA THESE
ARE RAIN DEFICITS JUST SINCE
SEPTEMBER 1st, SEVEN TO 10
INCHES BEHIND WHAT THEY
SHOULD BE.
SO IT IS JUST BONE-DRY THERE
GETTING SOME MUCH NEEDED
RAIN BUT ALSO A LITTLE BIT
OF WIND WHICH IS NOT GOOD.
HERE'S A LOOK AT OUR COLD
FRONT THAT IS SITTING RIGHT
ON TOP OF US AND THE
MOISTURE IS ELSEWHERE.
THE FRONT IS KEEPING THE
RAIN TO THE EAST TO THE EAST
AND SLOWLY WORKING IN SOME
OF THE COOLER AIR.
WE'RE GOING TO FEEL THOSE
WINDS PICKING UP TONIGHT AND
OVERNIGHT TOMORROW WILL BE
MOSTLY CLOUDY AND WINDY.
A LITTLE BIT OF A MIX COMING
AND GOING THROUGH THROUGHOUT
THE DAY.
THIS SHOULDN'T BE A BIG
WIDESPREAD ISSUE TOMORROW
BUT 43° WILL FEEL LIKE UPPER
20s TO LOW 30s WITH THAT
WIND WHIPPING OUT OF THE
WEST BRINGING THOSE LAKE
SHOWERS.
FRIDAY, STILL CLOUDY AND
COOL BUT DRY OTHER THAN A
COUPLE OF FLURRIES.
WEEKEND STARTS OUT DESENT.
THESE TEMPERATURES RIGHT
WHERE WHERE WE SHOULD BE BUT
BY SUNDAY, AFTERNOON, A
LITTLE WET WEATHER MAKER
COMING IN.
IT LOOKS LIKE IT SHOULD
START AS SOME LIGHT RAIN BUT
COULD MIX IN FEW
SNOWFLAKES AS WE GET INTO
EVROD.
>> NOT TOO BAD FOR THIS LATE
IN THE NOVEMBER THIS LATE IN
IT.
THANK YOU.
>>> STILL AHEAD AN ANCIENT
JAPANESE TRADITION.
FIND OUT WHAT DREW THOUSANDS
