\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tI\u2019LL TELL YOU EXACTLY WHERE HER ART WILL BE PLACED. PITTSBURGH\u2019S ACTION NEWS FOUR AT FIVE STARTS NOW. AND RIGHT NOW AT FIVE, WE KICK OFF WITH THIS SHOT OF THE HAIL COMING DOWN IN AMBRIDGE, BEAVER COUNTY. TAKE A LOOK AT THAT VIEW COMING FROM THE TOP OF ONE OF OUR NEWS VEHICLES THIS AFTERNOON. MEANTIME, A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING IS NOW IN EFFECT. STORMS ARE MOVING THROUGH THE AREA AS WE SPEAK, AND IT\u2019S MAKING TODAY AN IMPACT DAY. AND WITH THAT, WE THANK YOU FOR JOINING US AT 5:00. I\u2019M ANDREW STOCKEY AND I\u2019M SHANNON PERRINE. CHIEF METEOROLOGIST. MIKE HARVEY. THERE IS A REASON YOU CALL TODAY AN IMPACT DAY. SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING IN EFFECT RIGHT NOW FOR ALLEGHENY COUNTY UNTIL 530 THIS EVENING. STORMS WERE IN BEAVER COUNTY HAVE JUST MOVED ACROSS THE BORDER NOW HAVE MADE IT INTO ALLEGHENY COUNTY. AND WE\u2019LL GET A LITTLE CLOSER. LOOK HERE. PRIMARY THREAT FROM THESE STORMS WILL. FIRST OF ALL, YOU CAN SEE THE VERY HEAVY RAIN MOVING THROUGH A NUMBER OF LIGHTNING STRIKES, EXTREME LIGHTNING STRIKES. BUT THE HAIL. WE DO HAVE POTENTIAL FOR SOME LARGE HAIL WITH THIS MOVING THROUGH AND POSSIBLY 60 MILE PER HOUR WINDS. AS THIS MOVES THROUGH THE AREA A LITTLE CLOSER TO THE TOWNS THAT ARE BEING IMPACTED BY THIS RIGHT NOW. FRANKLIN PARK UP TO WEXFORD. IF YOU\u2019RE DOWN TOWARDS WESTVIEW, BELLEVUE, FOX CHAPEL, NEW KENSINGTON, PITTSBURGH, DOWNTOWN BELLEVUE, MCKEES ROCKS, PENN HILLS EVENTUALLY AND CHURCHILL, YOU\u2019RE GOING TO HAVE HEAVY RAIN. YOU\u2019RE GOING TO HAVE LIGHTNING STRIKES. AND THE POTENTIAL FOR THAT HAIL MOVING THROUGH THE AREA NOW THAT HAIL A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A NARROW SWATH, THIS IS WHERE IT HAS FALLEN ALREADY. THE DARKER PURPLE INDICATES THE HEAVIER, THE LARGER HAIL THAT HAS FALLEN, AND THAT IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO MOVE RIGHT ON THROUGH ALLEGHENY COUNTY. SO BE AWARE THAT THAT IS GOING TO BE MOVING IN YOUR DIRECTION. AS WE WIND OUT THE SHOT HERE, YOU CAN SEE THERE\u2019S RAIN ALL THE WAY UP TO A NEW CASTLE AND EVEN FURTHER UP TO THE NORTH. THESE STORMS ARE MOVING DIRECTLY TO THE EAST. WE\u2019LL HAVE A FEW MORE MOVING THROUGH, BUT THIS IS THE BIGGEST ONE MOVING INTO ALLEGHENY COUNTY RIGHT NOW. WE TAKE IT INTO TOMORROW AND WILL BE IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE AS WE GO THROUGH THE DAY. BUT AS WE GET INTO TOMORROW EVENING AGAIN, WE\u2019LL HAVE A CHANCE OF THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AREA. ALL RIGHT, MIKE, THANK YOU. NOW TO BREAKING NEWS, A NONPROFIT MEDIA GROUP SAVES THE PITTSBURGH POST GAZETTE NEWSPAPER FROM CLOSING NEXT MONTH. THE REVERSAL FOLLOWS MONTHS OF UNCERTAINTY SURROUNDING THE CENTURIES OLD PAPER OF WHETHER IT WOULD BE SOLD. PITTSBURGH\u2019S ACTION NEWS FOUR REPORTER JOINS US LIVE TONIGHT FROM MOUNT WASHINGTON, OVERLOOKING THE CITY OF PITTSBURGH, LETTING US KNOW WHO THESE NEW OWNERS ARE AND WHAT THIS NEWS REALLY MEANS FOR PITTSBURGH. EDITOR. SHANNON, THE INSTITUTE FOR LOCAL JOURNALISM IMMEDIATELY WAS INTERESTED IN THE PITTSBURGH POST GAZETTE AFTER IT WAS ANNOUNCED THAT THE PUBLICATION WAS GOING TO HAVE ITS FINAL EDITION ON MAY 3RD. FOR THE LAST TWO MONTHS, THE INSTITUTE HAS BEEN IRONING OUT THE DETAILS OF THIS PURCHASE, AND NOW THEY\u2019RE GOING TO BRING THEIR MINDSET TO THE PUBLICATION IN PITTSBURGH IS KNOWN FOR 240 YEARS. TRUSTED, INDEPENDENT LOCAL NEWS WITH A. AS A NONPROFIT TO BRING THAT MODEL, PLUS THE CULTURAL VALUES THAT WE THINK HAVE BEEN KIND OF CRITICAL TO THE BANNER\u2019S EARLY SUCCESS. YOU HEARD BOB COHN, THE CEO FOR NATALYAS, MENTIONED THEY\u2019RE THE BANNERS EARLY SUCCESS. HE\u2019S REFERENCING THE AWARD WINNING BALTIMORE BANNER PUBLICATION, WHICH WAS FOUNDED BY THE INSTITUTE IN 2022. COHN TOLD ME EARLIER TODAY HE\u2019S STILL WORKING WITH THE CURRENT MANAGERS AT THE POST GAZETTE TO PLAN HOW THE PUBLICATION WILL CONTINUE TO PUBLISH, BUT THE NATALYAS WILL TAKE OVER STARTING ON MAY 4TH. IT\u2019S EARLY TO TELL HOW MANY CURRENT EMPLOYEES WILL BE KEPT, BUT SOME WILL GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO STAY WITH THE P G. I THINK IT\u2019S PRETTY CLEAR THAT THE CURRENT REVENUES OF THE POST THAT DON\u2019T SUPPORT THE SIZE OF THE OPERATION, AND THAT\u2019LL BE SOMETHING WE NEED TO THOUGHTFULLY CONSIDER, AND THEY WILL COME BACK IN AND SEEK TO HIRE VERY MANY OF THEM TO TO BUILD THE NEW POST GAZETTE. NOW, WHAT YOU JUST HEARD ABOUT WHAT THIS MEANS FOR THE CURRENT STAFF AT THE P G. I SPOKE TO MULTIPLE EMPLOYEES AT THE PAPER. YOU\u2019LL HEAR THEIR REACTIONS TO WHAT BOB COHN JUST SAID, AND AN OVERALL VIEW OF WHAT THIS PURCHASE MEANS GOING FORWARD. THAT\u2019S ALL COMING UP IN THE FULL REPORT AT 6:00.

PITTSBURGH\u2019S ACTION NEWS FOUR REPORTER MARCIE CIPRIANI JOINS US LIVE WITH WHAT A LIBERTY BOROUGH RESIDENT CAPTURED ON HER HOME CAMERA. MARCY. YES, SHANNON. THE WOMAN I SPOKE WITH IS ONE OF SEVERAL WHO WERE TARGETED BY THIS ONLINE PRANK IN LIBERTY BOROUGH ALONE. SHE TELLS ME SHE WAS AT HOME SITTING ON HER COUCH WHEN IT STARTLED HER. YOU ARE WATCHING THE VIDEO CAPTURED ON MAKENNA, WILL\u2019S BACK PORCH. I WAS SCARED THIS LOUD KNOCK. WAS AT A DOOR THAT\u2019S INACCESSIBLE UNLESS YOU SCALE THIS SIX FOOT FENCE. SO WILL\u2019S CHECKED HER CAMERAS AND SHE SAW TWO TEENS. THE ONE HAD JUMPED THE FENCE AND KIND OF LOOKED LIKE HE WAS SNEAKING UP THE STAIRS A LITTLE BIT. THEN THE LOUD KNOCK BEFORE THEY RAN.

WILL SAYS HER ELDERLY NEIGHBORS HAVE BEEN TARGETED, TOO, AND ALLEGHENY COUNTY SHERIFF KEVIN KRAUS SAYS IT IS A DANGEROUS PRANK THAT IS SPREADING. ONE NIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, IT WAS ABOUT 1230. OUR FRONT DOOR CAME FLYING OPEN. BROKE THE HINGES, KRAUS SAYS. IT HAPPENED TO HIM, TOO. I THOUGHT SOMEBODY WAS ENTERING THE HOUSE. AND MY WIFE WAS ON THE PHONE WITH 911, AND I GRABBED A FIREARM, WENT DOWNSTAIRS AND I WAS CLEARLY UNDER THE IMPRESSION SOMEBODY WAS IN IN OUR HOME. AND, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, THAT\u2019S THAT\u2019S WHEN THINGS LIKE THAT CAN TURN, TURN TRAGIC. AND WHY SHERIFF KRAUS IS WARNING PARENTS THAT IF THEIR CHILDREN THINK THIS IS FUN, THEY SHOULD KNOW IT COULD QUICKLY TURN DANGEROUS. WILL SAYS IT COULD HAVE. HERE I HAVE A GREAT DANE AND AN ENGLISH MASTIFF, AND THEY\u2019RE VERY PROTECTIVE OF US. THAT\u2019S THEIR JOB. SO JUST, YOU KNOW, I DON\u2019T WANT ANYONE TO GET HURT. AND I DON\u2019T WANT MY DOGS TO GET HURT. IF YOU HAVE BEEN A VICTIM, POLICE ARE ENCOURAGING YOU TO REPORT IT. THEY SAY IT IS CRUCIAL IN ENDING THIS TREND. COVERING ALLEGHENY COUNTY MARCIE CIPRIANI, PITTSBURGH\u2019S ACTION NEWS FOUR. AFTER YEARS OF ANTICIPATION, WE ARE NOW IN THE SINGLE DIGITS. JUST NINE DAYS TO GO UNTIL HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF FOOTBALL FANS PACKED PITTSBURGH FOR THE NFL DRAFT. TONIGHT, WE\u2019RE HEARING FROM THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE, NOT ONLY THEIR VIEW OF WHERE PREPARATIONS STAND NINE DAYS OUT, BUT THEIR HOPES FOR THE STEEL CITY. HERE\u2019S SKY FOR THE DRAFT STAGE JUST OUTSIDE ACRISURE STADIUM TODAY. CONSTRUCTION CONTINUES AS THE CLOCK TICKS TOWARDS THE DRAFT WEEKEND AND PITTSBURGH\u2019S MOMENT IN PRIME TIME NOW. TODAY I SPOKE WITH THE NFL EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT OVERSEEING THE DRAFT. I ASKED HIM WHAT DEFINES SUCCESS IN HOSTING THIS NFL DRAFT. HE RESPONDED WITH HIS CHALLENGE FOR THE STEEL CITY. FRANKLY, THIS IS A CHALLENGE TO THE CITY OF PITTSBURGH. WE WOULD LOVE TO BREAK THAT RECORD THAT DETROIT SET FOR THE NUMBER OF FANS ACROSS THE THREE DAYS, WHICH WAS SET AT 700,000 FANS. WE LOVE THE STEELER NATION AND ALL NFL FANS WITHIN THE REGION TO HELP US, YOU KNOW, BREAK THAT. WE\u2019VE ALWAYS GOT THAT AS A GOAL. WE WANT TO BREAK RECORDS IN TERMS OF RATINGS, BUT ULTIMATELY WE WANT PEOPLE TO HAVE A GREAT EXPERIENCE. O\u2019REILLY DOES ADD THAT THE CAMPUS FOOTPRINT HAS ENOUGH SPACE TO ACCOMMODATE THOSE NUMBERS OVER THE THREE DAY EVENT. WELL, TODAY, THE NFL ANNOUNCED THAT SOME LOCAL ARTISTS WILL HAVE THEIR WORK ON DISPLAY DURING THE NFL DRAFT, AND YOU\u2019LL ALSO BE ABLE TO SEE A MASSIVE PROJECTION ON A DOWNTOWN HOTEL HONORING STEELERS HISTORY. YASMIN RODRIGUEZ HAS THE STORY. I DON\u2019T KNOW THAT I EVEN REALLY UNDERSTAND IT YET. I MEAN, IT IT FEELS AMAZING AND IT FEELS REALLY SPECIAL AND LIKE A HUGE DEAL. BUT HONESTLY, IT\u2019S HAPPENED SO FAST. ALL THIS WORK. SO I SAID IT WILL EVENTUALLY TURN INTO THIS 32 PIECES OF THIS TO BE EXACT. I AM CREATING 32 PIECES, ONE FOR EACH TEAM OF THEIR MARK, AND IT WILL BE IN THE PLAYERS HALLWAY. THERE IS A WOOD SUBSTRATE AND THEN A MAP OF EACH CITY THAT FOR THAT TEAM, SOME WITH EASTER EGGS, SOME WITHOUT. AND THEN ALL THIS TINS. THEN IT ALL GETS CUT APART AND I CUT APART THE PAPER PATTERNS, MAKE NUMBERED PATTERNS FOR EACH PIECE, CUT OUT THE TIN, AND THEN I START ASSEMBLING IT AND TACKING IT DOWN WITH THESE TINY HALF INCH 19 GAUGE NAILS. IT WAS BACK IN JANUARY THAT THE NFL REACHED OUT AND ASKED HIM TO COLLABORATE ON THIS PROJECT. AFTER SOME BACK AND FORTH WITH THE NFL ON WHAT EXACTLY THE PIECES SHOULD LOOK LIKE, SHE GOT RIGHT TO WORK AND HASN\u2019T STOPPED. THEY HAD A BUNCH OF REFERENCES TO THE PATCHWORK TIN THAT I DO, AND SO THAT\u2019S REALLY WHAT I KNEW THEY WERE AFTER. RIGHT NOW, KIM SAYS SHE HAS FULLY 12 OF THESE COMPLETED, BUT SHE DOES HAVE WAY MORE, AT LEAST HALF COMPLETE. AFTER ALL, THIS IS HOW LONG JUST ONE PIECE TAKES. I\u2019M GOING TO SAY AN AVERAGE OF PROBABLY. 10 TO 15 HOURS PER PIECE. MAYBE. THAT WAS YASMIN RODRIGUEZ REPORTING REALLY COOL STUFF THERE. WE ALSO KNOW THAT ANOTHER LOCAL ARTIST WILL BE FEATURED IN THE NFL DRAFT, BURTON MORRIS, AND WE WILL BE WORKING TO SPEAK WITH HIM BEFORE DRAFTING NEW. TONIGHT, A MAN WAS ARRESTED FOR ALLEGEDLY TRYING TO KIDNAP HER ESTRANGED GIRLFRIEND. INVESTIGATORS SAY RYAN DUNSWORTH WAS FOLLOWING HER CAR AND TRIED TO GET HER TO STOP. SHE DID STOP. HE BLOCKED HER IN AND DRAGGED HER INTO HIS CAR BY HER HAIR. DUNSWORTH ALLEGEDLY CONTINUED ASSAULTING HER, PULLING HER HAIR AND HITTING HER IN THE HEAD WITH A CELL PHONE WHILE DRIVING AROUND. AFTER BEING TACKLED DURING AN ESCAPE ATTEMPT, SHE WAS ABLE TO GET FREE AND REPORT THE INCIDENT AT THE ARNOLD POLICE STATION. NEW TONIGHT A MAN FACES CHARGES ACCUSED OF ROBBING A PIZZA DELIVERY DRIVER AT GUNPOINT IN FAYETTE COUNTY. ACCORDING TO COURT PAPERWORK, THIS HAPPENED IN FEBRUARY ON PEARL STREET IN BROWNSVILLE, WHEN THE PIZZA HUT DRIVER TRIED TO DELIVER PIZZA TO A HOME THAT TURNED OUT TO BE ABANDONED. HE RETURNED TO HIS CAR, AND POLICE SAY THAT\u2019S WHEN AMIR CALLOWAY APPROACHED HIM, SAID IT WAS HIS PIZZA, THEN PULLED OUT A GUN WHILE THE DRIVER GAVE CALLAWAY MONEY AND HE WALKED AWAY. POLICE SAY CALLOWAY IS A SUSPECT IN OTHER ROBBERIES IN THE AREA AS WELL. TONIGHT, A MAN IS FACING CHARGES FOR A DEADLY STABBING IN NORTH BRADDOCK. ACCORDING TO A CRIMINAL COMPLAINT, CARL HARRISON ALLEGEDLY GOT INTO AN ARGUMENT WITH POLICE, AND MOVED OUT OF THE HOUSE ON FOURTH STREET. THEN, AFTER A FEW MINUTES, A WITNESS TOLD POLICE THEY HEARD CALLING FOR HELP AND FOUND HIM BLEEDING. HE WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL AND THAT IS WHERE HE DIED.
