Two people are dead this
morning in De Kalb County after
a triple shooting. Christy
Diaz has been on the scene all morning
for you, Christy, what have you learned?
Well, we have moved locations.
In the last half hour,
Crime scene investigators cleared
one part of this crime scene.
Now they're looking at another.
This is a very large scene.
Look behind me now.
This is another part of the crime scene
that spans a pretty large residential
neighborhood along Cedar Park Trail.
Right now we're on Cedar Park Way.
This is the second area that has crime
scene tape and bags in the middle of
the road where things are scattered
and crime scene techs are looking
to investigate what happened, right.
Now all we can officially confirm is
that three people are shot, 2 are dead.
One person we're told is in
critical condition.
Other than that,
we know that this crime scene tape is here.
They cleared an area on Kelton Drive
and then on a street adjacent there
are a couple other houses that are
covered with crime scene tape.
So this is a large crime scene
getting larger as they learn
more about what happened.
As we learn more,
we'll bring it to you guys. Back to
you Christy, thank you.
Sticking with your 11
minutes and non-stop news.

This morning we've learned actor Jamie

and a friend is asking for prayers.
This is day 22 in the hospital.
Now Fox is in Atlanta working
on his new film Back in Action.
It's unknown unknown why
he is in the hospital,
but you can read everything we know about
his recovery so far on 11alive.com.
And that was a look at your
Tuesday morning headlines.
All right, Chesley, hold on to your hats.
Oh yeah, And wind will start to pick up
on you a little bit and be blowing in
the wind if you don't hold on to it.
We got clear skies out there right now.
Winds are on the calm side,
beautiful start to the day. In fact,
it's going to be beautiful all day long.
Few high, thin clouds rolling through,
but that'll be it. That'll be it.
Temperatures are down into the
40s just about everywhere you look
except for the city of Atlanta.
Right now you're looking at 50 degrees.
Holding on to that 50 degree mark.
I think it'll stay right there.
Everywhere else, you're down into the 40s,
so you may want to start off
with that light jacket.
In fact, even in here in the city,
you're looking at starting off
maybe a light sweater or jacket and
you may hold on to it through the
afternoon because we're expecting
those winds to start to pick up on it.
You see, the temperatures will be.
Through the 70s or licensing up to
about 70 degrees for this afternoon.
That's a bit on the cool side
for us for this time of year.
Expected to be a little bit warmer than that,
wanted to be in the upper 70s.
That's where we need it to be
for this time of year.
In fact,
that's our average this time of year.
They talk about those winds going
to start you off with winds
on the calm side this morning,
but those winds will start to pick
up as we head toward the afternoon
sustain winds up to about 2025 mph.
So you know that the gusts are going
to be a little higher than that.
They will start to calm down later
on tonight and then we're going to
do it all over again as we head.
To Wednesday.
Not as windy,
but it will be breezy during the
afternoon with those gusts picking
up once again.
So we have a wind advisory for
this afternoon.
Kicks in at noon,
will last until 8:00 PM,
looking at gusts up to 35 mph at times today,
and so that could blow around some of
those loose objects around your home,
so secure those you're going to need to.
High pressure is building into the
area and as it gets a little closer,
they will see those winds start
to die down just a little bit.
Once it gets toward the east side of us,
we're back into a southerly flow which
will help to boost our temperature up.
But that won't happen until we get
to the latter half of the weekend.
Going into next week.
Here's how things.
Day out for us this morning
with the clear skies,
you notice the clouds that will
run right through the area.
They'll be coming quickly and
get right out of the way,
not dropping any rainfall at all.
Although for a moment it may appear
mostly cloudy.
We'll get rid of those clouds.
Mostly sunny skies again
for you Wednesday again,
once again breezy during the afternoon.
And we're going to hold on to that sunshine
even as we head into Thursday as well.
It will be a very.
Nice day for us on Thursday.
In fact it's my pick for the
weekend and 11 on the Wizometer
76 will be our afternoon high
temperature getting closer to where
we should be for this time of year.
Clouds increase on Friday.
Look for some rain to come our way
late Friday going into Saturday.
That's the timing right now.
That could fluctuate a little bit,
75 degrees for the high
temperature on Friday,
Saturday 77.
Getting closer to where we should be,
but we'll pay for it with
the clouds and the rain.
Expect the rain to be around early.
We'll clear out late and then we'll
start off with some sunshine on Sunday,
but then look for another system to
bring in about a 30% chance for a
scattered shower to during the afternoon.
78 degrees for the high temperature,
20% chance for that rain continues
as we head into next week,
but at least the temperatures
will be right where they should
be for this time of year.
This morning there's going
to be extra support for students in Fulton
County after a Tri city's high school
student was killed at a Marta station.
We now know that the victim
was 16 year old Jalen.
Major police say Jalen was shot
in the head at the station.
The East Point station on police
arrested two teenagers in this case.
The shooting happened during a
very busy weekend for Marta.
They say nearly 140,000 people
took Marta to events like
Taylor Swift and Janet Jackson.
We want to be a part of finding
solutions to youth violence.
Our Naima Abdullahi is hosting
a Black Youth Community
conversation with our partner V1O3.
You can join the conversation Monday,

We'll check your bank account this morning.
Your tax surplus refund
could already be there.
Ariana Moniz has everything you need to know.
Extra money is headed to Georgia
to paid and found their taxes
over the past two tax years.
And they can expect this
money as soon as today.
And for some people, that money is
already sitting in their bank account.
So how much can you expect to receive?
For single filers you'll
receive a check of $250,
and for head of households a check of
$375 and $500.00 for joint filers.
But if you owe the state money,
have delinquent taxes, oh child support,
or if you pay less than a refund amount,
you won't get the full surplus amount.
Also, state officials say filing early
does not impact when you'll get your check,
but if you file about April 18th,
you should get your refund by July 1st.
But filing an extension will likely
delay your refund now if you haven't
received your money just yet.
The Department of Revenue says refunds
will go out over the next eight weeks
for those who file by April 18th,
and you will be able to check your
status of your refund as well as your
surplus refund on the Department
of Revenue's website back to you.
655 Now the Georgia Legislative Black Caucus
says they're concerned there is a lack
of funding for HBC U's across the South,
including Savannah State University.
This comes after we told you about
statewide budget cuts just last week
that are taking away $66 million from the
university system of Georgia's budget.
According to state Rep Tanya Miller,
the cuts will disproportionately
impact the state's 3 modestly sized
state backed historically black
colleges and universities.
In Fort Valley,
Savannah and Albany and a statement
Representative Inga Willis says our
HBC U's are the engine of the Black
talent pipeline to workforce industries.
In spite of repeat systemic underfunding,
the HBCU ecosystem continues to
produce the top number of Black pH
D's educators attorneys.
And change makers.
This
morning, over 11,000 writers in Hollywood
are on strike after they could not come
to an agreement with the Alliance of
Motion Picture and Television Producers.
Writers say they are not being
paid enough and less of them are
expected to do more work,
saying that the new age of
streaming has changed the industry.
Now you won't notice the strike
impacting most of your shows right now,
but late night shows like Jimmy
Fallon or Saturday Night Live
are expected to go dark today.
This happened 15 years ago and Jay Leno
actually started riding his own monologues.
Chesley,
Cheryl, looking at temperatures by noon,
right around 64 degrees.
That's when we're expecting those
winds to start to pick up a little bit.
You see those West winds up to 18,
maybe 20 mph.
It will remain that way through
the rest of the afternoon,
but windy out there,
70 will be your afternoon high temperature.
Go ahead and grab that jacket.
You're going to need that as you
head through the day today by
6 holding on to the sunshine 68
degrees will be our temperature,
those West winds up to about 24 mph
gusts in the 30 mile per hour range.
Be
careful. I love this story.
Check this out.
We just had to share this one.
When you think about the Met Gala,
you probably think about the celebs,
the outfits, the red carpet.
But do you ever think about the food?
It looks like Atlanta's own Tiana Taylor did.
She took the Instagram to repost King
Pushes story that show her plate
decked out with chicken Nuggets
and fries straight from Chickfila.
She brought it in herself.
That looks like BBQ sauce,
not Chickfila sauce.
Yeah, you know that bag with food.
Beef mashed potatoes.
Green beans.
Have a great day, everybody.
Today shows next. That's the truth.
