click2houston.com the UN investigator
looking into the death of Saudi
journalist Jamal khashoggi is waiting to
enter the kingdom's consulate in
Istanbul she wants to meet with Saudi
authorities but the country has yet to
approve her request Khashoggi was a
Washington Post columnist living in the
United States he was killed in October
at the Saudi consulate US intelligence
think the Saudi prince ordered the
attack a Muslim family in Katie believes
their house was riddled with bullets
twice because of their religion
surveillance video captured the most
recent incident on Sunday night at the
home in the Oaks of freen Trail
subdivision channel twos Joel Eisen bomb
has their story
watch this window carefully those are
bullets ripping through the glass and
right into this Katie home that's filled
with kids like in this is a second time
they shot in my house on this usually
quiet street twice now in about a month
somebody's fired shots into this house
it's owned by a Muslim family and so the
questions are why and could this be a
hate crime I think that maybe because
you're Muslim family I believe well at
this point it has not been officially
classified as a hate crime we are
looking into it as such as we will look
into all aspects of it regardless of the
motivation this is a family with
poor kid and 13 bullets entered the
house Sunday night from a walking path
behind the Oaks of green trails
subdivision somebody had brought a
ladder to fire 9-millimeter rounds over
the fence now watch as dad's Ayotte I'll
be 80
fights back shooting from his back patio
10 o'clock at night this is very crazy
the same thing happened to this family
Christmas day from the front of the
house the shots came from this
unidentified coupe at the top of your
screen and then less than two weeks ago
a nearby Kati mosque was shot at - it's
not clear if that incidents connected
but this is a big worry for this father
of four I like you know him to live in
peace okay and this was the us-american
for everybody in Katie Jo lines of mom
KPRC Channel 2 News
deputy constables have collected some
evidence from Sunday's crime scene
including the ladder that was left
behind all right we are checking on our
forecast which has taken a major turn
from Justin oh that front was moving
through last night about 10 o'clock it
was followed by heavy winds they even
heard of booms of thunder as well as I
was home last night
quite the winter wake up for us nice and
quiet now though right out there now but
now we're seeing you see the jiggle on
the camera here on the tower cam so wind
has started to pick up and that's gonna
be the case for the rest of the day
today 46 out there now we're looking at
sunny skies the humidity that's not
gonna be a factor it will as we get
later into the week but right now we're
doing ok look at that north northeast
wind right now at about 13 miles an hour
feels like temperatures there in play
just a bit it's a few degrees cooler at
least what it feels like as you get out
there obviously nothing like we're
seeing in the Upper Midwest I'll have
more on that coming up in just a couple
of minutes but pretty strong north wind
there 45 and kt 45 in Galveston as well
just about everyone sitting in the mid
40s under those sunny skies a little bit
of cloud cover that's trying to move its
way in from the West that will actually
help to insulate things as we get later
on this evening but notice the big story
with that front has already shifted its
way over and across the southeast in
fact trucking pretty good but look at
the snow all the way down there as you
get into what's that say Asheville North
Carolina so a lot of that cold air
continues to spill in speak in a cold
look at this current temperatures it's
seven but
that's the actual air temperature in
Minnesota and those wind chills are
really gonna start impacting much of the
Great Lakes region as we get in towards
tonight and early tomorrow we'll talk
about that so for the rest of this
afternoon top it out right around 48 to
about 50 degrees and then we'll slowly
back it off now
here's the thing it's gonna get into the
30s again as we get to tomorrow morning
but that cloud cover may actually help
keep a degree or two up so we may not
see as cold as what we saw this morning
in spots but if you're headed out for
lunch or this afternoon just out and
about definitely make sure you've got
the jacket it's sunny but chilly out
there no problems with the rush heading
home this evening and then of course as
we get into the latter half of the work
week we really start to see those
temperatures move up pretty quickly in
fact we're gonna be talking 60s and 70s
very soon and we'll get into that and
the rest of your workweek forecast
straight ahead all right Justin see you
soon remember you can track the forecast

Apple or Android App Store Apple is
rushing to fix a security flaw in one of
its most popular apps that apparently
allows other people to eavesdrop on your
iPhone a number of users online have
been able to use it to listen in on
other people's phones without them
knowing about it NBC's Joe fryer reports
facetime David Dunlop this morning a
sour note for Apple the phone giant
temporarily disabling its group FaceTime
app after users discovered a troubling
bug the glitch allows iPhone users to
secretly listen in on the person they're
calling without the recipient actually
accepting the call the problem revealed
in reports that went viral overnight
raising serious privacy concerns
launched in October of 2018 the group
FaceTime feature allows up to 32 people
to participate in a single audio or
video call but experts say the
malfunction is easy to execute all an
iPhone user has to do was call someone
using FaceTime tap the add person
function and then their own phone number
before the recipient has the chance to
accept or reject the call say something
can you hear me now
audio from the recipients phone then
streams to the caller
according to various reports if the
recipient hits the phone's volume down
or power buttons thinking the call has
been declined another curious bug kicks
in the recipients audio cuts out but the
caller can suddenly monitor that
person's camera I think those are you
know pretty terrifying things for people
who are very concerned about their to
their privacy Nicole when a tech
reporter for BuzzFeed says there is a
simple fix people should disable
FaceTime as quickly as they can or else
they expose themselves to bad actors
calling them and listening in on their
conversations or accessing their
front-facing camera without their
consent
overnight Apple quickly disabled a group
FaceTime app adding in a statement we're
aware of this issue and we have
identified a fix that will be released
in a software update later this week
Apple CEO Tim Cook has long portrayed
the company as a protector of user
privacy offering more secure devices
than its rivals at the recent
Electronics Show in Las Vegas Apple even
posting this huge billboard that reads
what happens on your iPhone stays on
your iPhone they're gonna have to
apologize and double down on security
practices to make sure that's something
at this scale doesn't happen again
if you're running iOS 12.1 or later and
want a disabled FaceTime until there's
an update just go to the settings on
your iPhone tap FaceTime and then toggle

three feet he would have ran over my
daughter

driveway and an officer tried to pull
him over that man refused commands

officer shot him in the shoulder the
suspect then got into a fight with the
officer and took off running he was
