THE STATE SUPREME COURT SAYS SKILL GAMES ARE SLOT MACHINES, BUT THIS NEW RULING MEANS. AND THE IMPACT IT COULD HAVE ON BUSINESSES. IT’S HAD ITS STARTS AND STOPS. IT’S NEVER COMPLETELY BEEN FORGOTTEN BY LAW ENFORCEMENT. AND ARRESTS FINALLY MADE IN AN 11 YEAR OLD COLD CASE. YOU HAVE TO HAVE ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO MOVE FORWARD. THE STORY, POLICE SAY, DIDN’T ADD UP AND IS NOW CHARGED WITH MURDER. DONATIONS ARE POURING IN. I HAVE BED SHEETS, CLOTHING, WOMEN’S CLOTHING, MEN’S CLOTHING. A COMMUNITY COLLECTING IN COLUMBIA TO HELP FIRE VICTIMS REBUILD. A BRIEF BREAK FROM THE HIGH HEAT AND HUMIDITY. FIND OUT WHEN THE TEMPERATURES, HUMIDITY AND STORM CHANCES RISE AGAIN IN THAT UPDATED SEVEN DAY FORECAST. TURNING GUNS INTO GARDEN TOOLS. THIS REALLY IS ABOUT SURVIVORS. IT’S ABOUT COMMUNITIES. WE’RE LIVING WITH VIOLENCE. THE MISSION OF HELPING COMMUNITIES HEAL FROM VIOLENCE. WGAL NEWS EIGHT AT 11 STARTS NOW. TONIGHT, A STATE SUPREME COURT DECISION STRUCK DOWN STILL SKILL GAMES, SAYING IT’S ILLEGAL FOR THEM TO BE IN BUSINESSES IN PENNSYLVANIA. GOOD EVENING TO YOU. I’M LORI BURKHOLDER AND I’M MICHAEL FULLER. THE DECISION VERSUS A LOWER COURT RULING THAT ALLOWED THEM TO KEEP OPERATING IN BARS, RESTAURANTS, EVEN CONVENIENCE AND GROCERY STORES. THE STATE SUPREME COURT SAYS THE LOWER COURT RULING WAS DEEPLY FLAWED, AND THAT THE SKILL GAME MACHINES ARE NOT LEGAL UNDER THE GAMING ACT. THE RULING COMES WITH A 120 DAY STAY, GIVING TIME FOR LAWMAKERS AND GOVERNOR JOSH SHAPIRO TO ADDRESS THE DEVICES THROUGH LEGISLATION. TONIGHT, THE CUMBERLAND COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY ANNOUNCED AN ARREST IN AN OVER A DECADE OLD COLD CASE. THE DA SAID THAT IT TOOK A LONG TIME TO MAKE THE ANNOUNCEMENT TO AVOID THE SUSPECT FINDING OUT ABOUT THE INVESTIGATION AND FLEEING FROM WHERE SHE WAS IN SOUTH CAROLINA. 60 YEAR OLD BETTY JANE ADAMS WAS ARRESTED IN CONNECTION TO THE HOMICIDE OF JOHN WESLEY ALLMAN IN MAY OF 2015, WHO WAS FOUND DEAD IN HIS MIDDLESEX TOWNSHIP HOME. HIS DEATH WAS ORIGINALLY RULED A SUICIDE, BUT FOUR DAYS LATER THE CORONER DEEMED IT A HOMICIDE. THE D.A. SAID ADAMS STORY ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED DIDN’T ADD UP. WHETHER THE THE STORY HAS REMAINED CONSISTENT THROUGH TIME, WHICH WE BELIEVE IT HAS NOT. WITH TAKING THE DIFFERENT PIECES OF EVIDENCE AND ADDING IT UP. AND COURT DOCUMENTS REVEALED ALLMAN FROM HER EX-HUSBAND TWO MONTHS BEFORE THE SHOOTING, AND FORENSIC ANALYST FOUND THE REVOLVER THAT FIRED THE DEADLY SHOT MUST HAVE BEEN FIRED THREE INCHES AWAY FROM ALLMAN’S HEAD, WITH ONLY ONE BULLET CASING FOUND BY INVESTIGATORS. ADAM IS CURRENTLY IN THE CUMBERLAND COUNTY PRISON. SHE WAVED HER PRELIMINARY HEARING AND HAS AN ARRAIGNMENT SCHEDULED FOR THE MIDDLE OF AUGUST, AND SHE WAS DENIED. NOW LET’S GET OVER TO THE STORM TEAM FORECAST AS WE HAVE ANOTHER GOOD WEATHER DAY BEFORE THINGS START TO CHANGE HERE. LET’S GET RIGHT OVER TO METEOROLOGIST ETHAN HUSTON. ETHAN WILL BE IN STORE FOR FEELING LIKE FALL OUT THERE TONIGHT. AND THAT’S WHAT’S GOING TO BE THE CASE TOMORROW. WEATHER STAYS QUIET FOR MOST OF WEDNESDAY, BUT BE PREPARED FOR ANOTHER IMPACT DAY ON THURSDAY AS WE’LL SEE THE RETURN OF SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. SOME OF THESE STORMS COULD POTENTIALLY BE STRONG TO SEVERE IN THE TIMING OF THAT LOOKS TO BE BETWEEN THE LATE MORNING HOURS THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING HOURS. WHAT WE’LL HAVE TO WATCH OUT FOR ARE STORMS THAT PRODUCE DAMAGING WIND GUSTS, HAIL SOME HEAVY RAINFALL THAT COULD LEAD TO FLASH FLOODING. THAT AGAIN, IS ON THURSDAY. BUT OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW IT IS CALM, COMFORTABLE AND NOW MOSTLY CLEAR. WE’RE AT 63 IN LANCASTER, 69 IF YOU’RE WATCHING US IN HARRISBURG. BUT LOOK AT THESE DEW POINTS. THAT’S INCREDIBLY LOW, DRY AIR SITTING OVERHEAD WITH DEW POINTS DOWN INTO THE 40S IN JUNE. THAT’S FANTASTIC. ALL IS QUIET ON THE RADAR. IT’S GOING TO STAY THAT WAY THROUGH THE NIGHT AND THROUGHOUT OUR TUESDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL RISE FROM THE 50S IN THE MORNING TO THE UPPER 70S DURING THE AFTERNOON. IT’S GOING TO FEEL MORE LIKE SEPTEMBER THAN JUNE, BUT THE HIGHER HUMIDITY HEAT WILL RETURN AS WE GO THROUGH THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, ALONG WITH THE THREAT FOR THOSE STORMS. WE’LL TALK ABOUT THAT MORE COMING UP IN A FEW MINUTES. GIVE THE AC A BREAK. ALRIGHT, ETHAN. THANK YOU. WELL, TONIGHT THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CONFIRMED THAT TWO EF1 TORNADOES TOUCHED DOWN LAST NIGHT IN PENNSYLVANIA. ONE OF THOSE TWISTERS TOUCHED DOWN IN JEFFERSON COUNTY.

FAMILIES ARE PICKING UP THE PIECES AFTER THIS FIRE TORE THROUGH FOUR BUILDINGS. THE BUILDINGS ARE NOW CONDEMNED AND LEAVING EIGHT PEOPLE WITHOUT A HOME. TODAY, A DONATION DRIVE WAS HELD THE ORGANIZERS SAY IT WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL. SO MUCH SO THAT AFTER 2 P.M., PEOPLE WANTING TO DONATE STARTED BEING TURNED AWAY BECAUSE COLUMBIA DREAM CENTER HAD NO ROOM. THEY’D ALREADY RECEIVED SO MANY DONATIONS FOR THE IMPACTED FAMILIES. THIS COMMUNITY IS SO TIGHT, THEY REALLY TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER.

TODAY, PRESIDENT TRUMP SAID THAT THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ WILL BE COMPLETELY OPEN BY FRIDAY. THE PRESIDENT ARRIVING IN FRANCE TODAY FOR THE G7 SUMMIT AND MET ONE ON ONE WITH FRANCE’S PRESIDENT EMMANUEL MACRON. AND DURING THE MEETING, THE PRESIDENT DELIVERED REMARKS ABOUT THE REPORTED AGREEMENT TO END THE FIGHTING IN IRAN. MR. PRESIDENT, DOES THE DEAL INVOLVE ANY SANCTIONS RELIEF FOR IRAN? WHEN WOULD THAT GO? NO IT DOESN’T. WELL, THEY HAVE TO. IT’S REALLY A BEHAVIORAL THING. IF THEY DO WHAT THEY’RE SUPPOSED TO DO, THAT STARTS TAKING EFFECT.

THE STATE AVERAGE STILL $1.09 MORE EXPENSIVE THAN IT WAS WHEN THE WAR IN IRAN STARTED. AND WE’RE SEEING SOME COUNTIES IN THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY AVERAGING AT OR BELOW THAT $4 MARK. QUICK CHECK ON WALL STREET BECAUSE IT’S ALSO IMPACTED TRADING SESSION TODAY. EVERYTHING UP DOW FINISHING UP OVER 468 POINTS. NASDAQ UP NEARLY 800 THERE IN THE S&P 500 UP 122. WELL RIGHT NOW THE PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE IS TAKING ACTION AFTER 12 CONFIRMED CASES OF NEW WORLD SCREW WORM HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED IN THE COUNTRY. OFFICIALS ARE LIMITING THE MOVEMENT OF ANIMALS IN PENNSYLVANIA TO TIGHTEN BIOSECURITY. STATE LEADERS ARE URGING FARMERS, VETERINARIANS AND PET OWNERS TO CHECK ANIMALS FOR SIGNS OF INFESTATIONS IN WOUNDS. THEY SAY THIS OUTBREAK HAS RAISED CONCERNS ACROSS TEXAS LIVESTOCK INDUSTRY. TEXAS LEADS THE NATION IN CATTLE PRODUCTION, AND AGRICULTURAL LEADERS HAVE WARNED A WIDESPREAD INFESTATION COULD HAVE SIGNIFICANT ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES. WELL, NEW OUT OF LANCASTER COUNTY, AN ORGANIZATION IS HELPING TURN WEAPONS INTO TOOLS FOR HEALING. COMMUNITY MEMBERS WERE INVITED TO SAFELY SURRENDER UNWANTED FIREARMS, WHICH WILL NOW BE REPURPOSED. NEWS EIGHT’S TAYLOR JOINS US NOW WITH A PERSONAL STORY THAT INSPIRED THIS MOVEMENT. TAYLOR. WELL, LORI AND MICHAEL, THIS EVENT WAS HOSTED BY RAW TOOLS, AND IT WAS A SAFE DISPOSAL EVENT. AT THE EVENT, VOLUNTEERS GOT A CHANCE TO UNLOAD AND DISARM THOSE FIREARMS AND THEN WENT. WHAT THEY DO IS THEY GET THEM READY TO BE TURNED INTO GARDEN TO GARDEN TOOLS AND ARTWORK. WE ARE HOSTING A SAFE DISPOSAL EVENT WHERE WE ARE RECEIVING UNWANTED FIREARMS AND TURNING THEM INTO SOMETHING POSITIVE FOR THE COMMUNITY, MAKING THEM INTO BEAUTIFUL PIECES OF ARTWORK AND GARDEN TOOLS AND ALL THAT IS DONE BY THIS PAIR WHO’S LEARNING A NEW TRADE. OUR BACKYARD WHERE WE ARE LEARNING TO BECOME BLACKSMITHS. THE MOVEMENT, STARTING AFTER A PERSONAL TRAGEDY, WAS KENDALL COOK, WHO WAS MURDERED BY 22ND OF 2021. AND FOR JENNIFER, THIS WORK IS ABOUT MORE THAN MEDAL. IT’S PART OF HER OWN HEALING JOURNEY. I’M ALSO A SURVIVOR OF GUN VIOLENCE AT A GUN THAT WAS POINTED AT ME. AND I KNOW FOR ME, IT WAS VERY EMPOWERING TO FEEL LIKE I COULD TAKE A HAMMER AND TRANSFORM SOMETHING AND TO USE MY BODY IN THAT WAY, TURNING INSTRUMENTS THAT CAN BE USED FOR VIOLENCE INTO TOOLS FOR GROWTH. WE REALLY WANT TO HAVE THAT WHOLE PROCESS OF TRANSFORMATION, BECAUSE THIS REALLY IS ABOUT SURVIVORS. IT’S ABOUT COMMUNITIES WHO ARE LIVING WITH VIOLENCE AND SAYING, WE BELIEVE YOU CAN DO SOMETHING CONCRETE. AND PASTOR MANSON SAYS THEY’RE NOT TRYING TO TAKE AWAY GUNS FROM RESPONSIBLE GUN OWNERS, BUT INSTEAD TRYING TO KEEP THEM OFF OF THE STREETS AND GIVE PEOPLE WHO MAY WANT TO GET RID OF A GUN A CHANCE TO DO SO SAFELY. IN LANCASTER COUNTY, TAYLOR HESS, WGAL NEWS EIGHT. TAYLOR. THANK YOU. SOME OF THE CATS TAKEN FROM A LANCASTER TOWNSHIP HOME LAST WEEK WENT UP FOR ADOPTION.
