THIS IS A GREAT TOOL TO HAVE THROUGHOUT THE WINTER MONTHS ESPECIALLY. YOU CAN GET IMPORTANT WEATHER ADVISORIES SENT RIGHT TO YOUR PHONE. YOU CAN ALSO USE OUR LIVE RADAR ANYTIME WE HAVE RAIN OR SNOW MOVING THROUGH. WE HAVE SOME NEW INFORMATION THIS NOON AS A CALL ABOUT SHOTS FIRED LED TO AN INTENSE SITUATION IN THE CITY OF WASHINGTON. POLICE SAY THIS ALL STARTED A LITTLE BEFORE 8:00 LAST NIGHT ON NORTH MAIN STREET. THEY TELL US THAT A MAN FIRED MULTIPLE GUNSHOTS WHILE EXPERIENCING A POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER SITUATION. THE INCIDENT DID LEAD TO A SHELTER IN PLACE ALERT FOR WASHINGTON AND JEFFERSON COLLEGE STUDENTS. POLICE SAY THE SUSPECT, WILLIAM COLES, WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY AND WILL BE FACING MULTIPLE CHARGES. NOW WE TURN TO A DEVELOPING STORY OUT OF WESTMORELAND COUNTY, WHERE A MAN WAS SHOT AND KILLED IN AN ELKS LODGE IN NEW KENSINGTON OVER THE WEEKEND, THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE SAYS THE VICTIM IN SATURDAY MORNING SHOOTING ON THIRD AVENUE IS 46 YEARS OLD. HIS DEATH IS BEING INVESTIGATED AS A HOMICIDE, AND POLICE ARE CURRENTLY REVIEWING SURVEILLANCE VIDEO FROM THE AREA TO TRY TO IDENTIFY A SUSPECT. IN THE MEANTIME, A MAN WAS PISTOL WHIPPED DURING A HOME INVASION IN SWISSVALE. POLICE SAY MULTIPLE PEOPLE WITH GUNS ENTERED A HOME ON THE 2500 BLOCK OF DELAWARE AVENUE YESTERDAY EVENING, AND ONE OF THEM ASSAULTED THE VICTIM. THAT MAN WAS STABLE AS HE WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL, AND SO FAR NO ARRESTS HAVE BEEN ANNOUNCED. A SUSPECT WAS ARRAIGNED OVERNIGHT AFTER ALLEGEDLY THREATENING TO SCALE THE FENCE AT THE FBI OFFICE ON PITTSBURGH’S SOUTH SIDE. PITTSBURGH POLICE SAY THEY FOUND DYLAN FARER OUTSIDE OF THE FENCE OF A BUILDING YESTERDAY AFTERNOON. INITIALLY, POLICE SUSPECTED HE HAD ACTUALLY BROKEN INTO THE BUILDING, BUT THEY DID EVENTUALLY DISCOVER HE ONLY THREATENED TO CLIMB THE FENCE AROUND THE BUILDING. POLICE SAY WHEN THEY TRIED TO ARREST HIM, HE RESISTED AND KICKED ONE OF THE OFFICERS IN THE FACE. FAIR IS CHARGED WITH RESISTING ARREST AND AGGRAVATED ASSAULT. AN AMERICAN AIRLINES FLIGHT FROM CHICAGO TO BOSTON IS DIVERTED TO PITTSBURGH FOR AN EMERGENCY LANDING. A SPOKESPERSON FOR THE AIRLINE SAYS THIS HAPPENED DUE TO A MECHANICAL ISSUE, AND THAT THE AIRCRAFT WAS IMMEDIATELY TAKEN OUT OF SERVICE. THEY ALSO SAY THE PASSENGERS ENROUTE TO BOSTON WERE PUT ON ANOTHER FLIGHT AND FORTUNATELY NOBODY WAS HURT. I JUST WISH PEOPLE WOULD BE FRIENDLIER DRIVING. IT TOOK ME FOREVER TO TRY TO GET INTO THE LANE BECAUSE PEOPLE JUST KEPT CUTTING ME OFF. DRIVERS EXPERIENCING A FRUSTRATING MORNING IN BRENTWOOD AFTER THIS WATER MAIN BREAK LATE LAST NIGHT LEFT THE NORTHBOUND ROUTE 51 LANES DOWN TO JUST A SINGLE OPEN LANE. THAT MAN YOU HEARD THERE SAYING THAT NAVIGATING THROUGH THOSE RESTRICTIONS WERE TOUGH. PITTSBURGH’S ACTION NEWS FOUR WAS THERE AS CREWS WORKED TO MAKE SOME REPAIRS THIS MORNING. SOME GOOD NEWS, THOUGH, FOR ANYONE WHO DRIVES 51, THE ROAD WAS FULLY REOPENED AND WATER SERVICE WAS RESTORED AROUND 9:00 THIS MORNING. HAPPENING TODAY, THE U.S. SUPREME COURT IS SET TO HEAR A SEPARATION OF POWERS CASE THAT COULD INCREASE PRESIDENTIAL AUTHORITY AND UNWIND NEARLY A CENTURY OF PRECEDENT. AT ISSUE IS PRESIDENT TRUMP’S DECISION IN MARCH TO FIRE REBECCA KELLY SLAUGHTER FROM THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION. FEDERAL LAW SAYS THAT MEMBERS CAN BE REMOVED ONLY FOR, QUOTE, INEFFICIENCY, NEGLECT OF DUTY OR MALFEASANCE IN THE OFFICE. THE PRESIDENT GAVE NO SUCH JUSTIFICATION. THE PRECEDENT AT STAKE HERE WAS SET IN A 1935 DECISION BY THE HIGH COURT. SLAUGHTER’S ATTORNEY SAYS OVERTURNING THIS PRECEDENT WOULD DESTABILIZE INSTITUTIONS. BUT PRESIDENT TRUMP LEANS HEAVILY ON A THEORY THAT THE FRAMERS OF THE CONSTITUTION ENVISIONED A PRESIDENT WITH SWEEPING CONTROL OVER THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH. 1206 IS THE TIME ON THIS MONDAY, AND ACCUSED CEO KILLER LUIGI MANGIONE IS BACK IN A NEW YORK CITY COURTROOM FOR THE SECOND WEEK OF A HIGH STAKES HEARING IN HIS MURDER CASE. HIS DEFENSE TEAM IS HOPING TO GET KEY EVIDENCE THROWN OUT, BUT PROSECUTORS WANT A JURY TO SEE ALL OF IT, CALLING POLICE OFFICERS WHO ARRESTED MANGIONE TO THE STAND. FOR MORE, LET’S BRING IN ABC’S REENA ROY. LUIGI MANGIONE BACK IN NEW YORK STATE SUPREME COURT TODAY. HEARING FROM OFFICERS WHO HELPED ARREST HIM AT THIS MCDONALD’S IN ALTOONA, PENNSYLVANIA, LAST YEAR AFTER THE SHOOTING DEATH OF UNITEDHEALTHCARE CEO BRIAN THOMPSON. PROSECUTORS EXPECTED TO CALL AN OFFICER TO THE STAND WHO ALLEGEDLY SEARCHED MANGIONE’S BACKPACK WITHOUT A WARRANT, CLAIMING IT WAS AN EMERGENCY AND THAT SHE NEEDED TO CHECK IF THERE WAS A BOMB IN THE BAG. SHE’S LATER HEARD ON BODY CAMERA FOOTAGE SAYING THERE WAS A WEAPON. POLICE SAY THEY RECOVERED THIS 3D PRINTED GUN AND WRITINGS THAT PROSECUTORS ARGUE AMOUNT TO A CONFESSION. BUT DEFENSE LAWYERS SAY BECAUSE NO SEARCH WARRANT WAS USED AT THE TIME, THAT EVIDENCE SHOULD BE THROWN OUT. PROSECUTORS ARGUE ALL EVIDENCE WAS COLLECTED LAWFULLY. PROSECUTORS ALSO HOPING TO SHOW A JURY THIS SURVEILLANCE VIDEO THAT THEY SAY SHOWS MANGIONE WALKING RIGHT BY THOMPSON IN MIDTOWN MANHATTAN AFTER THE ATTACK, APPEARING TO GLANCE AT HIM BEFORE TURNING AND RUNNING OFF. HE WAS ARRESTED FIVE DAYS LATER WHEN POLICE WERE LED TO THAT MCDONALD’S BY A 911 CALL FROM A MANAGER. I HAVE A CUSTOMER HERE THAT SOME OTHER CUSTOMERS WERE SUSPICIOUS OF THAT HE LOOKED LIKE THE CEO SHOOTER FROM NEW YORK. IN COURT, PROSECUTORS SHOWING THIS PHOTO OF AN ALLEGED TO DO LIST FOUND IN MANGIONE’S POCKET DURING HIS ARREST ON DECEMBER 9TH LAST YEAR. UNDER THAT SAME DATE, THE NOTE SAYS INTEL CHECK IN AND SURVIVAL KIT. POLICE SAY THEY FOUND THIS POCKET KNIFE AND BUS TICKET IN THE NAME OF SAM DAWSON, AN ALIAS ALLEGEDLY USED BY MANGIONE WHILE POLICE SAY HE WAS ON THE RUN. MANGIONE HAS PLEADED NOT GUILTY TO ALL CHARGES AGAINST HIM. NOW, MANGIONE’S DEFENSE TEAM IS ALSO HOPING TO GET STATEMENTS HE MADE TO POLICE EXCLUDED, SAYING POLICE DID NOT READ HIM HIS MIRANDA RIGHTS UNTIL ABOUT 20 MINUTES INTO QUESTIONING HIM. THIS HEARING COULD LAST ALL WEEK. REENA ROY, ABC NEWS, NEW YORK. HAPPENING RIGHT NOW, THIS IS A LIVE LOOK AS PENN STATE IS INTRODUCING THEIR NEW HEAD FOOTBALL COACH, MATT CAMPBELL. SECURING THAT GIG, CAMPBELL HAS AGREED TO AN EIGHT YEAR DEAL TO BE THE NEXT LEADER OF THE NITTANY LIONS. CAMPBELL SPENT THE LAST TEN YEARS LEADING IOWA STATE, AND THE 46 YEAR OLD IS THE WINNINGEST COACH IN CYCLONE HISTORY AND THREE TIME BIG 12 COACH OF THE YEAR. CAMPBELL IS SPEAKING TODAY, AS WELL AS ATHLETIC DIRECTOR PAT KRAFT. WE’RE GOING TO HAVE MUCH MORE ON THE NEW COACH’S INTRODUCTION A LITTLE BIT LATER TODAY ON PITTSBURGH’S ACTION NEWS FOUR AT 4:00. I THINK WE JUST KNEW WHAT WAS AT STAKE. FIRST PLACE FOR THE DIVISION. AND, YOU KNOW, WE KNEW WE WERE COMING IN FACING A GOOD TEAM. IT WAS ANOTHER STEELERS RAVENS GAME COMING DOWN TO THE FINAL MOMENTS. DK METCALF CERTAINLY DID HIS PART IN HELPING THE STEELERS TO A 2722 WIN AND SPOT ALL ALONE IN FIRST PLACE IN THE AFC NORTH. AARON RODGERS GOT METCALF INVOLVED RIGHT AWAY ON THE STEELERS FIRST PLAY, AS THEY OPEN THINGS UP FOR A 52 YARD CONNECTION THAT LED TO A RODGERS TOUCHDOWN. METCALF HAD SEVEN CATCHES FOR 148 YARDS ON THE DAY. ONE OF THE BIG STORIES WAS A TOUCHDOWN CATCH THAT ULTIMATELY WASN’T. ISAIAH LIKELY APPEARED TO GIVE THE RAVENS THE LEAD WITH 243 TO PLAY ON THE FOURTH QUARTER, BUT IT WAS DETERMINED BY REPLAY OFFICIALS THAT HE DID NOT COMPLETE THE ACT OF A CATCH BEFORE THE BALL WAS KNOCKED OUT. IT WAS WIPED AWAY. THE STEELERS ENDED UP STOPPING THE RAVENS ON THAT DRIVE AND THEN ONCE MORE TO PRESERVE THE WIN. I DID NOT, BUT I KNOW SOMETIMES YOU KNOW, THE EFFORT TO GET IT RIGHT. THEY’LL SIGNAL IT A TOUCHDOWN AND GIVE IT THE BENEFIT OF THE REVIEW. BUT NO, I DIDN’T THINK IT WAS A TOUCHDOWN. I MEAN, THEY MADE A CALL, ENDED UP BEING INCOMPLETE. DOWN TO THE NEXT PLAY. HAD TO GET POINTS ON THE BOARD. WE DIDN’T. DO YOU THINK THAT WAS ACCURATE? THEY MADE THE CALL AND GOT TO LIVE WITH WHAT THE REST SAY. AT THE END OF THE DAY, THE STEELERS WITH A ONE GAME LEAD AND HEAD TO HEAD TIEBREAKER OVER THE RAVENS. THEY MEET AGAIN IN THE REGULAR SEASON FINALE, WHICH WILL HAPPEN HERE IN PITTSBURGH. A DAMAGING LOSS BY THE BENGALS YESTERDAY, KNOCKING THEM THREE GAMES BACK. IT HAS ALREADY WON THE EMMY FOR BEST DRAMA SERIES AND NUMEROUS OTHER ACCOLADES, AND NOW THE PITTSBURGH SET MEDICAL DRAMA THE PIT IS UP FOR EVEN MORE AWARDS. WHEN THE GOLDEN GLOBE NOMINATIONS WERE ANNOUNCED JUST A FEW HOURS AGO. THE PROGRAM, WHICH HAS SEEN SHOT IN THE STEEL CITY, GOT NODS FOR BEST TELEVISION DRAMA AND BEST ACTOR IN A TELEVISION DRAMA FOR STAR NOAH WYLIE. OF COURSE, ALL EYES ARE ON THE MOVIES NOMINATED FOR THE GLOBES AS WELL.
