A A FIGHT BETWEEN ROOMMATES LEADS TO A DEADLY STABBING. THE NEW INFORMATION ABOUT THE SUSPECT THIS NOON. PLUS, A FOOTBALL FRENZY IN PITTSBURGH THIS WEEKEND. HOW PITT IS GETTING READY FOR A MAJOR MOMENT IN THE NATIONAL SPOTLIGHT. AND FOR YOUR MONEY. T -13 DAYS TILL TURKEY TIME. WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT TO PAY FOR YOUR FAMILY’S THANKSGIVING DINNER. IT’S OFFICIALLY THE HOLIDAY SEASON. I’M HERE AT KENNYWOOD, BREAKING DOWN ALL THE HOLLY, JOLLY FUN THAT STARTS TODAY. PITTSBURGH’S ACTION NEWS FOUR AT NOON STARTS NOW. AND WE WANT TO KICK THINGS OFF WITH SKY 4, PITTSBURGH’S ONLY NEWS CHOPPER OVER ESPN’S COLLEGE GAMEDAY SET FOR TOMORROW’S BIG MATCHUP BETWEEN PITT AND NOTRE DAME ON THE NORTH SHORE IS JUST ONE OF A HANDFUL OF BIG EVENTS HAPPENING IN THE STEEL CITY THIS WEEKEND. GOOD AFTERNOON. THANKS FOR JOINING US. I’M ELENA LAQUATRA. WE HAVE BRIAN HUTTON JUNIOR WITH THE CERTIFIED MOST ACCURATE FORECAST. AS WE WERE JUST SAYING, BIG WEEKEND HERE IN PITTSBURGH. WEATHER NOT COOPERATING FOR US 100% THOUGH NOT 100%. BUT A LOT OF THINGS WILL BE DRY THIS WEEKEND. WE’RE FINE BY THE TIME WE GET TO SUNDAY. IT’S REALLY TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND EVENING WHERE WE WILL BE SEEING RAIN SHOWERS AND GUSTY WINDS BECAUSE OF THAT, TOMORROW IS AN IMPACT DAY, SO IF YOU ARE MAKING PLANS AGAIN MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON, YOU SHOULD BE OKAY. RIGHT NOW IT LOOKS LIKE OUR FIRST CHANCE OF SEEING RAIN SHOWERS GETS HERE AT ABOUT 3 OR 4:00 TOMORROW AFTERNOON. SO AS THE PITT GAME COMES TO AN END, SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS, BETTER COVERAGE THAT WORKS IN AS WE GET PAST SUNSET, AND THEN THOSE SHOWERS WILL EXIT AS WE HEAD INTO THE NIGHT TIME HOURS. THAT LEAVES US WITH A CHILLY BUT BREEZY SUNDAY. IN FACT, TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY FALL THROUGH A GOOD PORTION OF THE DAY. WIND GUSTS WILL STAY UP AROUND 30MPH THROUGH THE DAY, WHICH MEANS THE PASSING AND KICKING GAME WILL BE INVOLVED WITH THE WIND ON SUNDAY. AND THEN WE’LL START CHILLY BEFORE SHOWER CHANCES RETURN LATE NEXT WEEK. IT’S 40 RIGHT NOW IN FRANKLIN, 38 IN CLARION AND KITTANNING. THAT’S WHERE SOME CLOUDS, EVEN A LIGHT SPRINKLE OR FLURRY PASS BY A LITTLE EARLIER. COMPARE THAT TO 49 IN UNIONTOWN, 50 IN MORGANTOWN, 46 AT PITTSBURGH INTERNATIONAL. WE’LL MAKE IT TO 54 DEGREES TODAY. 60 TOMORROW. BEFORE THOSE SHOWERS GET HERE. IT IS AN IMPACT DAY AND THEN COLDER AS WE START NEXT WEEK. WE’LL TIME OUT. EVERYTHING HAPPENING THIS WEEKEND WITH FUTURECAST SO YOU CAN PLAN AHEAD. THAT’S WITH FUTURECAST IN JUST A FEW MINUTES. BRIAN. THANK YOU. LET’S START THE HEADLINES THIS NOON IN PITTSBURGH’S BEDFORD DWELLINGS NEIGHBORHOOD, WHICH WAS THE SCENE OF A DEADLY STABBING. POLICE SAY THAT VICTIM WAS STABBED MULTIPLE TIMES. THIS HAPPENED YESTERDAY ON THE 2700 BLOCK OF WEBSTER AVENUE DURING. DURING A FIGHT BETWEEN TWO ROOMMATES. THE VICTIM DIED ON SCENE AND THE SUSPECT, 50 YEAR OLD ROBERT TILLMAN, IS CHARGED WITH CRIMINAL HOMICIDE. WE TURN TO DONEGAL TOWNSHIP IN WESTMORELAND COUNTY, WHERE SKY 4, PITTSBURGH’S ONLY NEWS CHOPPER, WAS OVER THE SCENE OF AN EARLY MORNING FIRE. THIS IS THE 700 BLOCK OF OLD FRANKLIN ROAD. THAT FIRE HAS BEEN BURNING SINCE A LITTLE AFTER 630 THIS MORNING. WE DID SEE MULTIPLE FIREFIGHTERS ON SCENE. NO WORD JUST YET OF ANY INJURIES AND A FAMILY ESCAPES A DIFFERENT FIRE AS IT SPREAD FROM A GARAGE TO A HOME IN VANDERGRIFT, WESTMORELAND COUNTY. THE FIRE BROKE OUT EARLY THIS MORNING ON LOWELL STREET. THE GARAGE IS DESTROYED. THERE IS MINOR DAMAGE TO THE HOME. GOOD NEWS HERE IS THAT NO ONE WAS HURT AND A LATE NIGHT FIRE IN PITTSBURGH’S HILL. FIREFIGHTERS RACED TO PUT OUT A HOUSE FIRE ON WOOSTER STREET BETWEEN WEBSTER AND WYLIE AVENUES AROUND MIDNIGHT. ALLEGHENY COUNTY 911 DISPATCHERS TELL US NO ONE WAS INJURED, BUT WE ARE STILL WORKING TO LEARN THE CAUSE OF THAT FIRE. HE ONCE MADE ARRESTS. NOW HE IS UNDER ARREST. FORMER ARNOLD POLICE CHIEF ERIC DOUBT, WHO ALSO SERVED ON THE NEW KENSINGTON-ARNOLD SCHOOL BOARD, NOW FACES FELONY DRUG CHARGES. THE STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL’S OFFICE ARRESTED THE 56 YEAR OLD ON FELONY DRUG CHARGES YESTERDAY IN ARMSTRONG COUNTY. WE’RE WORKING TO OBTAIN CHARGING DOCUMENTS, ACCORDING TO OUR NEWS PARTNERS AT THE TRIB, NO DOUBT RETIRED FROM THE POLICE FORCE LAST YEAR. THIS NOON, SENATOR JOHN FETTERMAN IS RECOVERING IN THE HOSPITAL AFTER FALLING OUTSIDE OF HIS HOME HERE IN ALLEGHENY COUNTY. HIS AIDES SAY HE FELL AFTER HAVING AN ISSUE WITH HIS HEART. THEY SAY HE WAS WALKING THURSDAY MORNING NEAR HIS HOME IN BRADDOCK WHEN HE SUFFERED SOMETHING CALLED A VENTRICULAR FIBRILLATION FLARE UP, ALSO KNOWN AS V-FIB, MAKING HIM FEEL LIGHTHEADED. THE SENATOR SAYS HE’S DOING WELL NOW AND HE’S RECEIVING ROUTINE OBSERVATION AT A LOCAL HOSPITAL. THE HEART HAS A TOP AND A BOTTOM HALF, AND THE BOTTOM CHAMBERS, WHICH DO ALL THE PUMPING. THAT’S WHEN YOU FEEL YOUR PULSE. IT’S THE BOTTOM VENTRICLES THAT ARE DOING THE PUMPING. VENTRICULAR FIBRILLATION MEANS THOSE BOTTOM CHAMBERS ARE IN A VERY CHAOTIC, SEIZURE LIKE ELECTRICAL PATTERN. IT’S A LIFE THREATENING RHYTHM. WHEN IT HAPPENS. IN A STATEMENT, FETTERMAN’S OFFICE SAYS HE HAS OPTED TO STAY SO DOCTORS CAN FINE TUNE HIS MEDICATION REGIMEN. SENATOR FETTERMAN IS GRATEFUL FOR THE EMTS, DOCTORS AND NURSES WHO ARE PROVIDING HIS CARE RIGHT NOW. FOLLOWING U.S. SENATOR EXCUSE ME, FELLOW U.S. SENATOR, REPUBLICAN DAVE MCCORMICK RELEASED A STATEMENT ON HIS COLLEAGUE’S CONDITION, SAYING IN PART, I REACHED OUT TO SENATOR FETTERMAN AND HAS SPOKEN TO GISELLE. JOHN IS A TOUGH PITTSBURGHER AND IS ALREADY ON THE MEND. GOVERNOR JOSH SHAPIRO, ALSO SHARING SOME WELL WISHES ONLINE, WRITING I KNOW ALL PENNSYLVANIANS JOIN ME IN SENDING WELL WISHES TO THE FETTERMAN’S FOLLOWING DURING THIS TIME. RIGHT NOW ON WTAE.COM, YOU CAN READ MORE ABOUT V-FIB AND WHY QUICK TREATMENT IS VERY IMPORTANT. YOU CAN ALSO SCAN THE QR CODE ON YOUR SCREEN TO GET UPDATES ON THE SENATOR’S CONDITION. AS WE BEGIN TO HEAR MORE. 1204 IS THE TIME ON THIS FRIDAY, AND WHILE THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN HAS OFFICIALLY COME TO AN END, SERVICES ARE ONLY STARTING TO GET FULLY BACK UP AND RUNNING. MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WERE IMPACTED BY THIS SHUTDOWN FROM WORKERS WHO WENT WITHOUT PAY TO AIR TRAVELERS, TO FAMILIES WHO MISSED CRUCIAL FOOD ASSISTANCE. ABC’S CHRISTIANE CORDERO HAS THE LATEST ON REOPENING THE GOVERNMENT FROM WASHINGTON AFTER MORE THAN A MONTH OF GRIDLOCK. TODAY, GOVERNMENT SERVICES, MILLIONS OF PEOPLE RELY ON ARE TRYING TO CATCH UP. SOME 670,000 FURLOUGHED FEDERAL WORKERS ARE EXPECTED TO START GETTING BACK PAY AS JOBS LOST DURING THE SHUTDOWN GET REINSTATED. AND TODAY, AIRPORTS NATIONWIDE ARE DEALING WITH THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN. WHIPLASH. IT’S A LITTLE FRUSTRATING BECAUSE NOW WE’RE STUCK HERE FOR AN EXTRA TWO HOURS. THE FAA IS MAINTAINING A 6% REDUCTION IN FLIGHTS ACROSS 40 AIRPORTS AS STAFFING LEVELS AND OPERATIONS GET BACK TO NORMAL. AVIATION EXPERTS BELIEVE THAT WILL HAPPEN WITHIN A WEEK BEFORE THE THANKSGIVING RUSH. FOOD PANTRIES ARE ALSO IN HIGH DEMAND AS THE GOVERNMENT SHUT DOWN INTERRUPTED NOVEMBER SNAP BENEFITS. ABOUT 42 MILLION AMERICANS RELY ON THE FEDERAL FOOD ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. THE SHUTDOWN CAUSED TWO THIRDS OF STATES TO ISSUE ONLY PARTIAL TO NO SNAP BENEFITS THIS MONTH. WHEN I FIRST HEARD THAT IT COULD HAPPEN, I’M LIKE, THERE’S NO WAY THEY’RE GOING TO LET THAT HAPPEN. THEY MIGHT PLAY GAMES WITH OTHER THEY’RE NOT GOING TO PLAY GAMES WITH PEOPLE’S FOOD. GOING INTO THE COLD, GOING INTO THE HOLIDAY SEASON COMING UP. BUT THEY DID. THE USDA PREVIOUSLY TOLD ABC NEWS SNAP BENEFITS WOULD BE AVAILABLE WITHIN 24 HOURS OF THE GOVERNMENT REOPENING. ITS NEW GUIDANCE SAYS IT’S ON STATES TO MAKE SURE HOUSEHOLDS GET THEIR FULL NOVEMBER BENEFITS PROMPTLY. CHRISTIANE CORDERO, ABC NEWS, WASHINGTON. THE STAGE IS SET TOMORROW MORNING ON THE NORTH SHORE TO BE FILLED WITH FANS OF BOTH PITT AND NOTRE DAME. EXCITEMENT HAS BEEN BUILDING ALL WEEK FOR THIS ONE, GETTING MORE AND MORE NATIONAL ATTENTION. PAT MCAFEE AND ESPN’S COLLEGE GAMEDAY WILL BE IN TOWN, AND OUR CAMERAS GOT A CLOSE LOOK AT THE SET ALREADY FOR TOMORROW, JUST OUTSIDE OF ACRISURE STADIUM. AND NEW THIS MORNING, GAMEDAY HAS ANNOUNCED PITT LEGEND AARON DONALD WILL BE THE GUEST PICKER, JOINING THE CAST TO GIVE HIS PICKS FOR SOME OF THE MORE IMPORTANT MATCHUPS TOMORROW. A BIG DAY FOR THE PENN HILLS NATIVE, AS HE WILL ALSO HAVE HIS JERSEY RETIRED AT HALFTIME. ESPN ALSO ANNOUNCED SEVERAL OTHER BIG TIME GUESTS WHO WILL JOIN THE SHOW THROUGHOUT THE MORNING. PITT HEAD COACH PAT NARDUZZI, FORMER PANTHER HEISMAN WINNER, NFL AND COLLEGE FOOTBALL HALL OF FAMER TONY DORSETT, NFL HALL OF FAMER, STEELERS LEGEND AND NOTRE DAME ALUM JEROME BETTIS, AND CURRENT IRISH RUNNING BACK JEREMIAH LOVE. THE COLLEGE GAMEDAY BUS HAS MADE A STOP ON PITT’S CAMPUS IN OAKLAND YESTERDAY. TAKE A LOOK AT THIS. HUNDREDS OF STUDENTS STOPPED BY TO MAKE A SIGN TO HOLD UP ON SATURDAY DURING THE SHOW. STUDENTS WE SPOKE WITH TELL US THEY’RE THEY’RE READY. THEY’RE EXCITED TO BRING ALL THE JOY AND THE NOISE COME KICK OFF TIME ON SATURDAY. AND FOR A LOOK BACK AT SOME MEMORABLE PAST PERFORMANCES BY PITT, I DO WANT TO BRING IN PITTSBURGH’S ACTION NEWS FOUR ANCHOR RYAN RECKER BREAKING IT DOWN FOR US. WELL, PITT IS A 12 POINT UNDERDOG TOMORROW, BUT UNDER PAT NARDUZZI, THEY HAVE DELIVERED SOME STUNNERS WITH WINS OVER HIGHLY RANKED TEAMS LIKE CLEMSON AND MIAMI AND A WIN OVER NOTRE DAME WOULD CERTAINLY GRAB THE ATTENTION OF ALL OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL. AND AS THIS SERIES IS RENEWED, WE ARE REMINDED OF SOME PITT LEGENDS AND PERFORMANCES FROM THE PAST. PITT AND NOTRE DAME A SERIES THAT DATES BACK TO 1909. AND AMID THIS LATEST INSTALLMENT COMES A CELEBRATION WITH AARON DONALD NUMBER 97, BECOMING THE 11TH JERSEY RETIRED IN PITT HISTORY. IT ALSO COMES 50 YEARS TO THE DAY WHEN ANOTHER PITT LEGEND, TONY DORSETT, RAN ALL OVER THE FIGHTING IRISH TO THE TUNE OF 303 YARDS RUSHING. IN FRONT OF A PACKED HOUSE AT PITT STADIUM. 3530 DORSETT AND DORSETT GONE IN FOR A TOUCHDOWN. THE MATCHUP BRINGS WITH IT OTHER IMAGES FROM THE PAST FROM THE PITT STADIUM FINALE TO SCENES IN SOUTH BEND. LIKE THE FOUR OVERTIME THRILLER AND TYLER PALKO’S FIVE TOUCHDOWNS. I DON’T REALLY CARE ABOUT STATS RIGHT NOW. I CARE ABOUT IS WE GOT THE WIN. PALKO WILL BE AMONG THE FORMER PANTHERS THERE TO WITNESS A CHANCE FOR THESE PANTHERS TO STUN THE IRISH AND MAKE A STATEMENT AND LEAVE THEIR OWN MEMORIES AND MARK ON THIS SERIES. WE WANT TO THANK OUR RYAN RECKER FOR THAT STORY. AND REMEMBER, WTAE CHANNEL 4 IS YOUR HOME FOR PITT AND NOTRE DAME.
