School bus involved in crash in Pittsburgh | 1 treated for minor injuries on scene
BACK, IT BECAME ONE OF THE MOST MEMORABLE IMAGES FROM THE WINTER OLYMPICS. JACK HUGHES CELEBRATING THE GOLD MEDAL WIN. HE SCORED THE GOLDEN GOAL IN THE FINAL AGAINST CANADA, THOUGH HE DID LOSE SOME TEETH. AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTO THAT HAS PUT DENTAL CARE IN THE FOREFRONT. JACK HUGHES SAYS HE WILL BE GETTING HIS TEETH FIXED, BUT DENTAL CARE ISN’T JUST ABOUT HAVING A GREAT LOOKING SMILE. IT CAN ALSO AFFECT YOUR OVERALL HEALTH. WITH MORE, HERE’S ABC’S CHRISTIANE CORDERO. A NEW STUDY IN THE JOURNAL OF TRANSLATIONAL MEDICINE FOLLOWED PATIENTS WITH DENTAL INFECTIONS AT THE ROOT OF THE TOOTH. SO SERIOUS THAT THEY NEEDED ROOT CANALS. RESEARCHERS TRACKED SEVERAL KEY BLOOD MARKERS BEFORE THE PROCEDURE AND FOR MONTHS AFTER THE RESULTS. AFTER HAVING A ROOT CANAL, PATIENTS SHOWED BETTER GLUCOSE CONTROL, IMPROVED LIPID LEVELS, AND LOWER INFLAMMATION LEVELS IN THE BLOODSTREAM. THAT TREATING ORAL INFECTIONS CAN HAVE BENEFITS FAR BEYOND THE TEETH AND GUMS. WHILE THIS STUDY DOESN’T PROVE CAUSE AND EFFECT, IT DOES SUGGEST THAT GOOD DENTAL CARE MAY HELP LOWER RISKS FOR CONDITIONS LIKE HEART DISEASE AND DIABETES. SO IF YOU’VE BEEN PUTTING OFF THAT TRIP TO THE DENTIST, TAKE THIS AS A REMINDER THAT ORAL HEALTH IS PART OF OVERALL HEALTH. WITH THIS MEDICAL MINUTE. I’M CHRISTIANE CORDERO, THANKS SO MUCH FOR JOINING US FOR PITTSBURGH’S ACTION NEWS FOUR AT 4:00, PITTSBURGH’S ACTION NEWS FOUR AT 5:00 WITH SHANNON AND ANDREW STARTS RIGHT NOW.

PITTSBURGH’S ACTION NEWS FOUR REPORTER KALEA GUNDERSON BRINGS US UP TO SPEED FROM SOUTH FRANKLIN TOWNSHIP. THE MAN CHARGED IS 35 YEAR OLD ERLIN ANTUNES. AND POLICE TELL US THEY FIRST ENCOUNTERED HIM AFTER HE ALLEGEDLY SPED THROUGH THIS SCHOOL ZONE AND THEN RAN FROM THAT TRAFFIC STOP. A SHORT TIME LATER, WE GOT TO ASK HIM WHY THAT HAPPENED, AND HE SAID, THIS. AGAIN HE SAID, QUOTE, I DON’T HAVE PAPERS, BUT I AM A MIGRANT. GREEN WASHINGTON REGIONAL POLICE TELL US AN OFFICER PULLED MR. ANTUNES OVER AFTER ALLEGEDLY SPEEDING IN THE JOE WALKER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ZONE ALONG PARK AVENUE. POLICE SAID. MR. ANTUNES SAID HE DIDN’T HAVE AN ID OR IMMIGRATION PAPERS, AND WHEN THE OFFICER RETURNED TO HIS VEHICLE BRIEFLY, THE OFFICER SAID THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER RAN FROM THE CAR. POLICE CAUGHT UP TO MR.

CHIEF OF WASHINGTON REGIONAL POLICE WILLIAM DE FORET SAID THE TWO INDIVIDUALS WERE NOT BEING TARGETED BY POLICE, BUT THEY INITIATED THE ROUTINE TRAFFIC STOP DUE TO THE ALLEGED SPEEDING IN A SCHOOL ZONE. WE TRY NOT TO BE AS AGGRESSIVE OR WE WE TRY NOT TO HANDLE THESE INDIVIDUALS IN AN AGGRESSIVE MANNER. WE’RE GENERALLY WAITING TILL THEY COMMIT OTHER CRIMES BEFORE WE LOOK INTO THEIR IMMIGRATION STATUS. BUT WHEN THEY DO COMMIT A CRIME, WE ARE LOOKING INTO THAT IMMIGRATION STATUS. AND, YOU KNOW, WE ARE ACTING IN A PROACTIVE MANNER. ONCE WE GET THEM INTO CUSTODY AND HE IS FACING CHARGES TONIGHT OF AVOIDING APPREHENSION AND SPEEDING IN A SCHOOL ZONE, POLICE SAY THEY ARE STILL TRYING TO IDENTIFY THE PASSENGER OF THAT CAR AND IDENTIFY HIM. COVERING WASHINGTON COUNTY TONIGHT AND SOUTH FRANKLIN TOWNSHIP, KALEA GUNDERSON. PITTSBURGH’S ACTION NEWS FOUR. WE HAVE NOW LEARNED THE VICTIM IN A FATAL SHOOTING IN WILKINS TOWNSHIP WAS A 17 YEAR-OLD GIRL MONDAY MORNING. MARSHALL WAS FOUND DEAD IN HER APARTMENT AT THE BRENTMOOR AT PENN CENTER APARTMENT COMPLEX. WITNESSES TELL INVESTIGATORS 20 YEAR OLD RAYANA HECKSTALL WAS PLAYING WITH A GUN WHEN IT FIRED. THE BULLET HIT AND KILLED MARSHALL. PROSECUTORS CHARGED WITH INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER. SHE’S IN THE COUNTY JAIL TONIGHT, AND WE LEARNED THAT MARSHALL WAS A STUDENT AT WOODLAND HILLS HIGH SCHOOL. SCHOOL DISTRICT LEADERS SAY THEY’RE DEVASTATED TO LEARN ABOUT THE LOSS. THERE ARE COUNSELORS AND MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS AVAILABLE FOR STUDENTS AND STAFF THROUGHOUT THIS WEEK. A MAN IS IN CUSTODY AFTER A STANDOFF THAT LASTED THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT IN PITTSBURGH’S OAKLAND NEIGHBORHOOD. OFFICERS RESPONDED TO JULIET STREET AROUND 730 LAST NIGHT. POLICE SAY A MAN WITH OUTSTANDING WARRANTS BARRICADED HIMSELF INSIDE A HOME. NEIGHBORS WERE THEN EVACUATED. THAT STANDOFF LASTED UNTIL 530 TOOK THAT MAN INTO CUSTODY AND NO ONE WAS HURT. ANOTHER LAWSUIT CONNECTED TO THE EXPLOSION AT A U.S. STEEL PLANT IN CLAIRTON LAST AUGUST. THE WIFE OF STEPHEN MENEFEE HAS NOW FILED A WRONGFUL DEATH LAWSUIT AGAINST NIPPON STEEL, THE OWNER OF U.S. STEEL. THIS FOLLOWS A SIMILAR LAWSUIT LAST WEEK FROM THE FAMILY OF TIMOTHY QUINN. MENEFEE AND QUINN WERE THE TWO WORKERS KILLED IN THE EXPLOSION AT THE CLAIRTON COKE PLANT. BOTH FAMILIES ACCUSED THE COMPANY OF NEGLIGENCE. WE CONTINUE TO FOLLOW THE SHOCKING STORY OUT OF WASHINGTON COUNTY TONIGHT. A PETERS TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT CHARGED WITH SEXUAL EXTORTION IN A CASE INVOLVING NEARLY TWO DOZEN VICTIMS. REPORTER YASMINE RODRIGUEZ JOINS US LIVE TONIGHT. AND, YASMINE, YOU SPOKE WITH THAT STUDENT’S ATTORNEY TODAY. ANDREW. THAT’S RIGHT. IT HASN’T EVEN BEEN A WEEK SINCE BAIL WAS DENIED FOR ZACHARIAH MYERS, THE JUDGE DEEMING HIM A DANGER TO SOCIETY. AND NOW THAT PRELIMINARY HEARING OF HIS IS SCHEDULED FOR FRIDAY MORNING. I CAUGHT UP WITH THE ATTORNEY ON THIS CASE, HE SAYS IN THAT SHORT TIME, THEY HAVE BEEN ACTIVELY REVIEWING THAT LENGTHY AFFIDAVIT, MAKING SURE THE CHARGES MATCH UP. THERE’S A LOT TO PARSE THROUGH. IT IS A LENGTHY AFFIDAVIT. THE NAMES AND EVERYTHING. WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT THERE ARE 304 CHARGES, WHICH IS MORE THAN MOST CASES, 304 CHARGES. ZACHARIAH MYERS FACES AFTER POLICE SAY HE SEXUALLY EXTORTED OVER 20 VICTIMS BY CATFISHING THEM INTO BELIEVING THEY WERE TALKING TO SOMEONE ELSE. MYERS POSED AS A MALE FROM ARIZONA, AN ADULT FILM STAR FROM THE NETHERLANDS, AND AN UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE, ALL OF WHOM HAD NO INVOLVEMENT WITH THE SUSPECT. THE VICTIMS WERE ALL UNDER AGE, BUT MYERS IS 18 YEARS OLD, AND POLICE SAY HE WAS 18 AT THE TIME OF THE CRIMES AS WELL. THE ADULT SYSTEM IS ALWAYS MORE SERIOUS BECAUSE YOU’RE FACING PRISON TIME AS OPPOSED TO A JUVENILE COURT, WHERE ONCE YOU’RE ADJUDICATED, YOU COULD BE PLACED BASICALLY WITHIN THE COURT’S JURISDICTION UNTIL YOU’RE 21. MYERS EVEN FORCING ONE OF HIS VICTIMS TO RECORD INSIDE A GYM LOCKER ROOM AT PETERS TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL. THE SCHOOL DISTRICT RELEASING A STATEMENT LAST WEEK SAYING THEY WERE AWARE OF THE CHARGES AND ARE FULLY COOPERATING, BUT SAY THAT THERE WAS NO SAFETY RISK TO STUDENTS. AND NOW AUTHORITIES ARE SOUNDING THE ALARM FOR PARENTS TO TALK TO THE ENTIRE SITUATION IN GENERAL, FOR ME, IT IS SAFETY. I’M CONCERNED ABOUT YOU. I’M CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR SAFETY. DALE BROWN WITH PITTSBURGH ACTION AGAINST RAPE, SAYS NAVIGATING THESE CONVERSATIONS CAN BE TOUGH AND RECOGNIZES THAT IF THERE ARE MORE POTENTIAL VICTIMS INVOLVED, THAT BECOMES AN ENTIRELY NEW CONVERSATION, BUT URGES PARENTS OF THIS. IT’S REALLY MUCH MORE ABOUT LISTENING. IS IT HARD TO HEAR THINGS? YES, BUT I THINK IT’S ABOUT TAKING THAT DEEP BREATH AND PAUSING AND RECOGNIZING THAT THIS IS HARD FOR YOUR CHILD TO TALK ABOUT. AND AGAIN, MYERS IS A PRELIMINARY HEARING IS THIS FRIDAY MORNING. WE’LL BE SURE TO UPDATE YOU BOTH ON AIR AND ONLINE COVERING ALLEGHENY COUNTY. YASMIN RODRIGUEZ, PITTSBURGH’S ACTION NEWS FOUR. ALL RIGHT, YASMIN, THANK YOU. VOTERS IN SOUTH HILLS HAVE ABOUT THREE MORE HOURS TO CAST THEIR BALLOT. A SPECIAL ELECTION IS UNDERWAY FOR THE 42ND DISTRICT HOUSE SEAT. HERE’S A LOOK AT WHERE THAT DISTRICT IS. DORMONT COUNCIL PERSON JAN MAZZOCCO IS THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE. GOP COMMITTEE MEMBER JOSEPH LECKONBY IS THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE. POLLS CLOSE AT 8:00 TONIGHT. NOW, IN ABOUT FOUR HOURS, PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP WILL DELIVER THE FIRST STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS OF HIS SECOND TERM. HE SAYS IT WILL BE A LONG ONE. EXPECTED TO RALLY SUPPORT AROUND HIS ADMINISTRATION’S AGENDA. CONGRESSWOMAN SUMMER LEE, FROM PITTSBURGH, IS SET TO DELIVER THE RESPONSE FROM THE WORKING FAMILIES PARTY. SHE ALSO SAYS SHE WILL BOYCOTT THE ADDRESS. THE PRESIDENT’S SPEECH COMES AS RECENT POLLS SHOW THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS DISAPPROVE OF HOW THE PRESIDENT HAS DONE SO FAR IN HIS SECOND TERM. ABC’S CHRISTIANE CORDERO HAS THIS PREVIEW. IN A MATTER OF HOURS, PRESIDENT TRUMP IS SET TO ADDRESS CONGRESS AND THE NATION IN HIS FIRST STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS OF HIS SECOND TERM. THE EXPECTED THEME THE ECONOMY. THE CASE THAT THREE MORE YEARS WITH WITH HIM IN THE WHITE HOUSE AND WITH REPUBLICANS ON CAPITOL HILL, WE CAN FINALLY ACHIEVE THE AMERICAN DREAM IN THIS COUNTRY. AGAIN. THE ADMINISTRATION HAS RECEIVED OPTIMISTIC ECONOMIC MARKERS IN RECENT WEEKS WITH BETTER THAN EXPECTED JOBS AND INFLATION REPORTS AND THE DOW CROSSING 50,000 FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER. BUT THE CORNERSTONE OF THE PRESIDENT’S ECONOMIC AGENDA WAS DERAILED LAST WEEK WHEN THE SUPREME COURT RULED MOST OF TRUMP’S TARIFFS UNCONSTITUTIONAL. ONLY ONE OF THE JUSTICES HE HANDPICKED FOR THE COURT DURING HIS FIRST TERM SIDED WITH HIM IN THIS CASE. I THINK IT’S AN EMBARRASSMENT TO THEIR FAMILIES. YOU WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH? THE SUPREME COURT JUSTICES WHO CHOOSE TO ATTEND TYPICALLY SIT JUST FEET FROM THE PRESIDENT. TRUMP IS ALSO FACING DECLINING APPROVAL AHEAD OF THIS YEAR’S MIDTERM ELECTIONS. THE LATEST ABC NEWS WASHINGTON POST IPSOS POLL SHOWS 60% OF AMERICANS DISAPPROVE OF THE JOB HE’S DOING. DEMOCRATS ARE TRYING TO GAIN SOME OF THE SUPPORT TRUMP HAS LOST BY HOLDING A SEPARATE RALLY TONIGHT. DOZENS OF DEMOCRATIC LAWMAKERS SAY THEY WILL SKIP THE PRESIDENT’S SPEECH ALTOGETHER. THERE WILL BE SOME MEMBERS WHO ATTEND AND ATTEND IN SILENT DEFIANCE, AND THERE WILL BE OTHER MEMBERS WHO WILL CHOOSE NOT TO ATTEND. AND IT’S UP TO EVERY INDIVIDUAL MEMBER TO MAKE THE DECISION THAT MAKES THE MOST SENSE FOR THEIR CONSTITUENTS. NEWLY ELECTED GOVERNOR OF VIRGINIA ABIGAIL SPANBERGER WILL DELIVER THE DEMOCRATS RESPONSE FOLLOWING THE PRESIDENT’S SPEECH TONIGHT. HER TEAM SAYS SHE WILL ALSO FOCUS ON AFFORDABILITY AND THE, QUOTE, CHAOS. THE ADMINISTRATION HAS CAUSED AN AMERICAN COMMUNITIES. CHRISTIANE CORDERO ABC NEWS, CAPITOL HILL. YOU WILL BE ABLE TO WATCH THE ADDRESS RIGHT HERE ON
