CPD: Shooting investigation underway near Fountain Square
OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN. THIS IS WLWT NEWS FIVE LEADING THE WAY WITH BREAKING NEWS. ALL RIGHT. THE BENGALS MAKING A BIG OFFENSIVE MOVE TODAY AFTER DROPPING THREE STRAIGHT GAMES. THANKS FOR JOINING US HERE AT 5:00. I’M SHEREE PAOLELLO AND I’M MIKE DARDIS. YOU HAVE THE TEAM ANNOUNCING TODAY. IT TRADED FOR CLEVELAND’S QUARTERBACK, 40 YEAR OLD VETERAN JOE FLACCO. SPORTS ANCHOR JARED MAY LIVE AT PAYCOR STADIUM WITH THE BREAKING DETAILS ON THIS TRADE. HI, JAREN. HI, MIKE AND SHEREE. THE BENGALS HAVE DONE EXACTLY WHAT THE FANS HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR, AND THAT IS A CHANGE AT THE QUARTERBACK POSITION. AS YOU SAID, THE BENGALS ARE TRADING A FIFTH ROUND PICK OVER TO THE BROWNS FOR JOE FLACCO AND A SIXTH ROUND PICK. SO THEY SWAPPED PICKS IN THIS UPCOMING DRAFT. AND THEY GET A QUARTERBACK THAT THEY HOPE CAN BE BETTER THAN JAKE BROWNING. HOWEVER, THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM IS THAT JOE FLACCO IS 40 YEARS OLD AND HE’S GOING TO BE PLAYING BEHIND AN OFFENSIVE LINE THAT HAS BEEN SUSPECT TO START THIS SEASON. HOWEVER, FLACCO, JUST TEN AND 22 AS A STARTER SINCE 2019, BUT HE IS A SUPER BOWL MVP. HE IS A SUPER BOWL CHAMPION AND HE WAS THE NFL’S COMEBACK PLAYER OF THE YEAR JUST TWO YEARS AGO. THE TEAM IS EXPECTING FLACCO TO START IN GREEN BAY THIS SUNDAY, SO THE OFFENSIVE PLAYBOOK MAY BE WHITTLED DOWN IF AND WHEN HE DOES START, THOUGH, JOE WILL BE THE OLDEST QB IN BENGALS HISTORY, AND HIS FOUR STARTS THIS YEAR. FLACCO AVERAGED JUST OVER 200 YARDS, COMPLETED 58% OF HIS THROWS, HAD TWO TOUCHDOWNS AND SIX INTERCEPTIONS, TOTALING A 60.3 QB RATING. ALL OF THOSE NUMBERS ARE WORSE THAN BROWNING’S, EXCEPT FOR THE PICKS. FLACCO DOES, HOWEVER, BRING A VETERAN PRESENCE TO THIS TEAM. HE IS QUITE LITERALLY NOW PLAYED FOR EVERY SINGLE AFC NORTH FRANCHISE, SO FAR. NOW, ACCORDING TO REPORTS, FLACCO WAS THE BENGALS GUY BECAUSE THEY DID NOT REACH OUT TO ANY OTHER TEAMS, INCLUDING THE GIANTS FOR JAMEIS WINSTON OR RUSSELL WILSON. SO IT SEEMS LIKE FLACCO HAS BEEN THEIR GUY. CAN HE GET THE PLAYBOOK IN HIS MIND READY TO GO FOR SUNDAY? WE WILL SEE. THE STARTING QUARTERBACK USUALLY DOES SPEAK TO THE MEDIA ON WEDNESDAYS. SO FLACCO COULD BE TALKING TO US TOMORROW AFTERNOON. FOR NOW WLWT NEWS FIVE SPORTS. ALL RIGHT JARON THANK YOU. YEAH, YOU CAN BOOK IT. HE’LL BE STARTING ON SUNDAY. RAINY, GLOOMY TUESDAY, AND WE’RE NOT DONE WITH TODAY’S WET WEATHER JUST YET. OUR CHIEF METEOROLOGIST, KEVIN ROBINSON, SHOWING US HOW LONG THE SHOWERS HANG AROUND ON THIS WEATHER IMPACT DAY. HI THERE. KEVIN. HEY. GOOD EVENING GUYS. WELL, HERE’S A FULL VIEW OF THE RADAR. AND BOY, WHAT A SOGGY DAY IT HAS BEEN. I MEAN, IT TRULY HAS BEEN A WET TUESDAY ALL OVER THE TRI-STATE. NOW WE ARE SEEING A SLOW BUT SUBTLE DRYING TREND. THAT SAID, WE’VE GOT SHOWERS THROUGH PARTS OF WARREN COUNTY INTO BUTLER COUNTY ALONG THE I-71 CORRIDOR. BUT MORE NOTABLY, THE RAIN IS A LOT LIGHTER THAN IT WAS EARLIER TODAY. SOME SPRINKLES AND SHOWERS STILL DRIFTING THEIR WAY THROUGH AREAS NORTH OF THE RONALD REAGAN FROM BLUE ASH, SILVERTON OVER TOWARDS WYOMING. FINNEYTOWN FOREST PARK, KIND OF THE TRI COUNTY AREA. SPRINGDALE, EVENDALE SHARONVILLE AS WELL. A LITTLE BIT DRIER TO THE SOUTHEAST WHERE YOU HAVE BEEN DRENCHED FROM AREAS OF PEEBLES TO MAYSVILLE, BACK TOWARDS BROOKSVILLE. LET’S TALK ABOUT THIS RAINFALL. AS WE LOOK BACK INTO SOUTHEAST INDIANA, EVEN AS WE ARE DRYING OUT, THERE ARE SOME LINGERING SHOWERS THAT WILL STILL POP UP AROUND HERE THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS, BUT WE HAVE SEEN THE BULK OF THE RAINFALL. AND BOY, WHAT A SOAKER IT WAS. AND THESE AREAS IN YELLOW TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH OF THE METRO DOPPLER RADAR ESTIMATING SOME TWO INCH RAINFALL AMOUNTS WITH GENERALLY CLOSE TO ABOUT AN INCH FOR MOST OF US HERE IN THE METRO. SO THE BULK OF THE RAIN HAS FALLEN. BUT UNTIL THIS COOL FRONT ACTUALLY CLEARS US, WE’RE GOING TO KEEP THE CHANCE, AT LEAST THROUGH THE FIRST PART OF THE EVENING. MIKE AND SHEREE FOR A FEW MORE LINGERING SHOWERS. ALTHOUGH THE OVERALL TREND SEEMS TO BE TO DRY US OUT. NOW WE AWAIT THE MUCH COOLER FALL-LIKE AIR THAT MOVES IN TONIGHT. I’LL LET YOU KNOW HOW LOW OUR TEMPERATURES WILL DROP BY TOMORROW MORNING. KEVIN. THANK YOU. WANT TO GET TO SOME SAD, BREAKING NEWS TO PASS ALONG TO YOU TONIGHT? THE MOELLER HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT WHO WAS HIT OVER THE WEEKEND BY A DRIVER WHO JUST TOOK OFF, HAS NOW DIED. HE WAS ON HIS BIKE WHEN IT HAPPENED. AND TODAY THE SCHOOL CONFIRMING THE LOSS OF DYLAN STRACHAN. COLERAIN TOWNSHIP POLICE FOUND THIS 15 YEAR OLD BOY IN CRITICAL CONDITION VERY EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. POLICE HAVE FOUND THE CAR. THEY HAVE IDENTIFIED THE DRIVER BUT SO FAR HAVE NOT ANNOUNCED CHARGES. MOELLER SAYS THAT STRACHAN WAS INVOLVED IN VOLLEYBALL, BAND AND THEATER, AND HE BROUGHT JOY AND KINDNESS EVERYWHERE HE WENT. IN OTHER NEWS, A LAKOTA STUDENT WAS HIT OVER THE WEEKEND IN LIBERTY TOWNSHIP AND THAT STUDENT IS STILL IN CRITICAL CONDITION. THIS TIME, A 13 YEAR OLD STUDENT WHO WAS RIDING BIKES WITH HIS BROTHER AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH, AND WLWT NEWS FIVE’S KAREN JOHNSON LIVE FOR US IN LIBERTY TOWNSHIP WITH THE LATEST ON THIS INVESTIGATION. HI, KAREN. HEY, SHEREE. YEAH, THIS TEENAGER, A STUDENT HERE AT LIBERTY JUNIOR HIGH. I DID SPEAK TO HIS FATHER EARLIER TODAY. I SAID, DOES ANYONE IN THIS FAMILY. DO YOU NEED ANYTHING? WHAT CAN THE COMMUNITY DO? HE SAYS RIGHT NOW WE JUST NEED A LOT OF PRAYERS. 13 YEAR OLD BOBBY HAS A SMILE THAT WILL LIGHT UP ANY ROOM. NEIGHBORS TELLING ME HE’S A SWEET KID, ALWAYS HAPPY OUT RIDING HIS BIKE. BOBBY’S DAD SAYS FRIDAY NIGHT HIS SON WAS BIKING WITH HIS NINE YEAR OLD BROTHER WHEN BOBBY WAS HIT BY A CAR AROUND THE CORNER FROM THEIR LIBERTY TOWNSHIP HOME FOR AN INJURY CRASH. SUMMERLIN BOULEVARD, CINCINNATI DAYTON A PEDESTRIAN STRUCK BY A VEHICLE. IT’S GOING TO BE A JUVENILE VEHICLE IS STILL ON SCENE. JUVENILE ON THE ROADWAY. BOBBY WAS RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL UNCONSCIOUS.

NEIGHBORS SAY THEY ARE PLANNING A PRAYER VIGIL AND VOWED TO BE THERE FOR BOBBY’S FAMILY EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. AND TONIGHT, FAMILIES HERE IN THE LAKOTA DISTRICT ARE JUST LEARNING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO BOBBY. SO FAR, THE BUTLER COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE HAS NOT RELEASED ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THE INCIDENT.
