HEY, ERIN AND LEAH, WE\u2019RE HERE AT PIERCE TOWN FIRE DEPARTMENT RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THIS IS ONE OF THE AGENCIES THAT RESPONDED TO THE CRASH. BUT TAKE A LOOK AT THIS VIDEO THAT WE HAVE FROM OVERNIGHT. NOW, WHAT WE DO KNOW SO FAR IS THAT THE CRASH HAPPENED AFTER 130 THIS MORNING, AND THAT WAS OFF OF FIVE FORKS ROAD. THE CORONER\u2019S OFFICE SAYS THE VEHICLE WAS COMING OUT OF A CURVE WHEN IT HIT A TREE. THE CORONER SAYS ONE TEENAGER WAS KILLED AND TWO OTHERS WERE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL, AND HIGHWAY PATROL IS INVESTIGATING, SO STAY WITH WYFF NEWS FOR. AS WE WORK TO LEARN MORE ABOUT. FOR NOW, REPORTING LIVE IN ANDERSON COUNTY. ISABELLE MARAK WYFF NEWS FOUR. ISABELLE. THANK YOU. A DEATH INVESTIGATION IS UNDERWAY IN GREENVILLE COUNTY AFTER DEPUTIES GOT A 911 CALL ABOUT A VEHICLE FIRE. DEPUTIES SAY IT HAPPENED ABOUT 7:00 LAST NIGHT ON EAST BUTLER ROAD. WHEN DEPUTIES GOT THERE, THEY SAY THEY FOUND A MAN INSIDE THE VEHICLE. DEPUTIES SAY HE DIED ON SCENE AND WE DON\u2019T KNOW HIS NAME, BUT THEY\u2019RE ASKING ANYONE WITH INFORMATION TO CALL CRIME STOPPERS AT THE NUMBER ON YOUR SCREEN. AN INVESTIGATION IS UNDERWAY IN NORTH CAROLINA THIS MORNING AFTER POLICE SAY A WOMAN SHOT TWO PEOPLE OUTSIDE OF A RALEIGH COURTHOUSE. POLICE SAY THE SHOOTER WAS INVOLVED IN A CASE EARLIER IN THE DAY ON FRIDAY, AND THEY SAY SHE BECAME BELLIGERENT DURING THE PROCEEDINGS. THE TWO VICTIMS ARE REPORTEDLY BOTH ATTORNEYS WHO WERE INVOLVED WITH THEIR CASE. POLICE SAY THE WOMAN APPARENTLY LEFT THE COURTHOUSE AND THEN RETURNED IN A VEHICLE WITH A GUN. THE SUSPECT GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE, APPROACHED THE TWO VICTIMS, SHOT BOTH VICTIMS, AND THAT\u2019S WHEN THE DEPUTIES AND OFFICERS WERE ABLE TO TAKE THAT SUSPECT IN CUSTODY. WE ARE WORKING TO FIND OUT EXACTLY WHAT THAT COURT CASE WAS ABOUT. WE DO BELIEVE IT WAS A CIVIL MATTER BETWEEN THE SUSPECT AND THE TWO PARTIES. THE TWO VICTIMS, WE DON\u2019T KNOW THE CONDITION OF THOSE TWO VICTIMS JUST YET. AN UPSTATE LEADERS ARE DISCUSSING THE IMPORTANCE OF STAYING SAFE. AS WE NOW ENTER THE UNOFFICIAL START OF THE SUMMER. SAFE KIDS OF THE PIEDMONT SHARED TIPS ON HOW PARENTS CAN PREVENT THEIR CHILDREN FROM GETTING INJURED, AS WELL AS PREVENTING HOT CAR DEATHS AND DROWNINGS. EXPERTS SAY SUMMER IS AN INCREASED TIME FOR CRASHES AND ACCIDENTS OF ALL DIFFERENT TYPES. MOTOR VEHICLE COLLISIONS ARE THE BIGGEST AS LARGEST THAT WE SEE IN OUR TRAUMA CENTER, SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT CHILDREN ARE BUCKLED UP PROPERLY. THEY\u2019RE TRAVELING MORE RIGHT NOW. AND SO WE WANT TO SEE THAT CHILDREN, WHEN THEY TRAVEL AROUND THE STATE, AROUND OUR CITY COUNTIES, AND EVEN WHEN THEY GO OUT OF THE COUNTRY, MAKE SURE THEY\u2019RE BUCKLED UP PROPERLY. AND ACCORDING TO THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY, SPARTANBURG COUNTY CURRENTLY HAS THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF TRAFFIC FATALITIES THROUGHOUT SOUTH CAROLINA. IT\u2019S DEFINITELY A DREARY START TO OUR MEMORIAL DAY. RIGHT NOW. WE ARE SEEING SOME LIGHT SHOWERS DEVELOP NORTH OF PICKENS, SEEING SOME LIGHT RAIN TOWARDS CULLOWHEE AND NORTH OF GREENVILLE. WE ARE STILL SEEING SOME DENSE FOG AS WELL. IF YOU\u2019RE TRAVELING THIS MORNING, PLEASE TAKE IT SLOW ON THE ROADS, ESPECIALLY IN THE INTERSTATE, WE ARE SEEING FOG DEVELOP TOWARDS GREENVILLE, UP TOWARDS SPARTANBURG, DOWN TOWARDS TOCCOA. IT\u2019S DEFINITELY DENSE WITH VISIBILITY AT ZERO AS WE GO THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON. THIS WILL EVENTUALLY BEGIN TO LIFT AND THEN SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP FOR YOUR MONDAY. THOUGH THIS IS ONE OF OUR MAINLY DRY DAYS OF THIS ENTIRE WEEK. FAIRLY ISOLATED STORMS FOR THE UPSTATE LATER TODAY. THAT BREEZE KICKS IN FROM THE SOUTH. THAT WARMS US UP NEAR ABOUT 80 DEGREES. RAIN CHANCES ARE SLIGHTLY HIGHER FOR OUR HIGHEST ELEVATIONS, TOWARDS ABOUT 50% FOR MONDAY. ON AND OFF THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON AND THE EVENING. HEADING IN TOWARDS TUESDAY, WE DO START TO SEE MORE RAIN DEVELOP ACROSS THE AREA. WE HAVE THESE FRONTS COMING THROUGH, BECOMING STATIONARY, LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING ALONG THESE FRONTS, AND THAT\u2019S WHAT\u2019S BRINGING US EXCESSIVE RAIN AS WE GO TOWARDS TUESDAY, ESPECIALLY TUESDAY, LATE AFTERNOON, EARLY EVENING RAIN WILL BECOME HEAVY AT TIMES AND DEFINITELY MORE WIDESPREAD, THOUGH THERE\u2019S NO SEVERE THREAT RIGHT NOW. SOME RAIN WILL BE HEAVY. THERE IS A FLASH FLOOD THREAT IN PLACE TODAY AND TOMORROW, ESPECIALLY FOR AREAS THAT HAVE ALREADY SEEN EXCESSIVE RAIN. BUT RIVERS ARE LOW RIGHT NOW, WHICH IS GOOD NEWS. WE\u2019LL TAKE ONE MORE LOOK AT YOUR FOUR-DAY PLUS HERE IN A COUPLE MINUTES. AARON LEE. ALL RIGHT. LET\u2019S GO AHEAD AND TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR MONDAY MORNING COMMUTE LIVE. LOOK OVER MALDEN ROAD ALONG I-85. GOOD MORNING, GREENVILLE COUNTY. THINGS ARE LOOKING GOOD. A LITTLE FOGGY, PERHAPS YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THAT STANDING WATER RIGHT THERE IN THAT D.O.T. CAMERA. SO MAKE SURE YOU ARE BEING CAREFUL THROUGH YOUR MONDAY MORNING COMMUTE. TAKING A LOOK AT YOUR TRAVEL TIMES, YOU SHOULD HAVE A NICE CLEAN RIDE THIS MORNING. ALL ACROSS 2685 AND 385. CONWAY, SOUTH CAROLINA IS ADDING GOATS TO THEIR 2027 CITY BUDGET. THE CITY PROPOSED BRINGING IN THE ANIMALS TO GRAZE ON CERTAIN TOWN PROPERTIES. NOT A BAD IDEA. IT\u2019S CALLED A TARGETED GRAZING ORDINANCE, AND CITY LEADERS SAY THE PLAN IS FOR THE GOATS TO GRAZE ON LOTS THROUGH THE CITY, OWNS THROUGH FEMA BUYOUTS. MANY OF THOSE LOTS ARE OVERGROWN, AND THEY\u2019RE TAKING THE CITY\u2019S MAINTENANCE TEAM AWAY FROM BIGGER PROJECTS. THE PROPOSAL NEEDS ONE MORE READING BEFORE IT CAN MOVE FORWARD. COUNCIL IS EXPECTED TO VOTE ON IT NEXT WEEK. THIS SUMMER, SPARTANBURG DISTRICT SIX IS PROVIDING FREE MEALS TO CHILDREN UNDER 18, AND THAT PROGRAM STARTS TOMORROW. YOU CAN GO TO DIFFERENT LOCATIONS FOR FREE BREAKFAST, LUNCH AND DINNER. YOU DON\u2019T NEED TO SIGN UP OR REGISTER TOMORROW THROUGH THURSDAY.
