00:05Happy Friday Central Texas thank you so much for tuning in today we don't have a ton of stories there
00:12we go it's been a pretty light news day but what I am going to start with is this this
00:17big breaking news story that happened kind of overnight carried into today and then we just recently within you know
00:24the past 30 minutes got an updated press release from police kind of just filling in a lot of
00:30the holes on a lot of people's questions that were occurring yesterday so gonna kind of start with this and
00:37just preface this by stating we do not normally report on suicide cases however due to the nature of this
00:45story surrounding it including another victim we are reporting about this particular story so this all started yesterday around 11
00:540 8 p.m. Bellmead PD responded to reports of a shooting while handling an
00:59unrelated service call at Walmart they you know went to the parking lot and found a female victim suffering from
01:06a gunshot wound authorities immediately began providing first aid and they were able to transport her to a local hospital
01:14and she is in stable condition for treatment according to police so now it takes us to where where we
01:22were last night which was this gas station this picture behind me so later investigators
01:27were notified that the suspected shooter in the shooting that happened at the Walmart parking lot was found dead this
01:32was all the way in the city of west and he this was due to a self-inflicted gunshot wound
01:38so there was a lot going on last night in terms of this gas station and the press release was
01:43just kind of sent out to connect the shooting at Walmart and this this death by suicide at this gas
01:50station so police say this was an isolated incident and there's no danger to the public
01:54however this is still an ongoing investigation and anyone with information is urged to contact the Bellmead police department so
02:01just kind of a new update on that big story today and again you know this this is a suicide
02:07but also a shooting that happened at Walmart so kind of just filling in the holes there unfortunately this next
02:14story is kind of along the same lines this is a huge story out of Utah this was our top
02:21story on social media today
02:22with just an overwhelming response from social media this was about a student who essentially brought his gun to or
02:29their gun to a a school field trip and ended up shooting himself in front of his classmates so again
02:36just prefacing this we don't normally report on suicides and the station that reported on this also stated that but
02:42because the student brought the gun to school and fired it in front of students it brings it to a
02:45whole new level so this was a ninth grader from Canyon View Junior High who shot themselves while on school
02:52and fired it in front of students it brings it to a whole new level so this was a ninth
02:52grader from Canyon View Junior High
02:52on a field trip on a field trip at South Fork Park the student was flown to a local hospital
02:57where they did die due to the injuries there so the picture behind me which I'm blocking a little bit
03:04the group of ninth graders or the group of ninth grade students ended up putting a memorial outside of the
03:10school in memory of the student who died they all said they didn't want to talk on camera which is
03:15very understandable but they did say that they heard the gunshot wound or they heard the gunshot
03:20and it ended up you know shocking and scaring everyone that was there present at the field trip so no
03:26further information was released again this was a story out of Utah just a crazy crazy story for today but
03:35that is our top story on social media so just thought I would lead with both of those two although
03:40they're very heavy for this Friday afternoon so to kind of shift into national news there is a congressional lawmaker
03:48announcing that she will introduce
03:50articles of impeachment against health secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr. This is something we haven't really seen before as far
03:58as I'm aware towards him she basically said it's in response to the health secretary's efforts to jeopardize public health
04:04increase the cost of health care and cut medical research from pediatric cancer initiatives to vaccine developments and this is
04:11specifically towards the people of Michigan which is where she is a congresswoman
04:17so she has her whole statement listed on our website essentially stating that he is making our country less safe
04:23and making health care less affordable and accessible for people across the United States so going to kind of follow
04:30that story and see what those articles lead to and go from there but that is a huge story on
04:36social media as well in terms of national news some Trump updates slash tariff updates we got some specific tariffs
04:45that are going to be taking place
04:47specifically import taxes president Trump said Thursday he will put import taxes on 100% of pharmaceutical drugs 50%
04:54of kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities 30% on upholstered furniture and 25% on heavy trucks this is all
05:03going to be starting October 1st so kind of very specific and just kind of giving you that update that
05:09that will be starting on October 1st
05:11we did talk about this these are well this was a statue that was in front of or was at
05:19the National Mall it was essentially President Trump and Jeffrey Epstein in a Best Friends Forever statue this was again
05:26up by the National Mall so it has since been taken down by the National Park Service and this particular
05:32statue read in honor of Friendship Month we celebrate the long-standing bond between President Trump and his closest friend
05:39Jeffrey Epstein
05:40it was depicting them holding hands and skipping so according to their permit that the secret handshake acquired that was
05:48the group that put up the statue they had permission to keep this statue up until Sunday but the spokesperson
05:57for the Department of the Interior said that the statue does not comply with the permit that it was given
06:02and so they took it down so obviously the above picture is what it now looks like as opposed to
06:08down below what it did
06:09and it was supposed to stay hypothetically until Sunday so the statue according to this article its removal is raising
06:16free speech concerns and so we'll kind of see what goes on there that's a big story on social media
06:21it was and still is as it was supposed to stay until Sunday so a sweet story out of Fort
06:29Worth this is the newest addition to the elephant herd at the Fort Worth Zoo this is a female Asian
06:36elephant calf
06:38and just kind of a super sweet little picture there but the calf was born on August 18th standing 36
06:45inches tall and weighing 250 pounds the zoo said in a news release the calf's mom is 26 year old
06:51Blue Bonnet who was the first elephant calf to be born in the zoo's history and so the zoo is
06:58reaching out to the public for their input on what to name the baby calves and there are three options
07:03or the baby calf and there's three options
07:05all are going to be Texas flower themed names so the first one is Lady Bird or Birdie second is
07:11Yellow Rose or Rosie and the third is Black Eyed Susan or Susie so you can go and vote on
07:18their live poll on their website and vote for a name I think I would choose Yellow Rose if I
07:25were to vote which I probably should so just kind of a cute story out of Fort Worth
07:29and then lastly the weather as our meteorologist stated I hope you're hungry for nothing because honestly there's not going
07:37to be much change here other than the fact that the fall like weather has finally arrived and settled in
07:43so it'll be here for about the next week or so before the next cold front moves in
07:48we'll have a few fair days of warmer than normal highs but low temperatures will stay fairly comfy and seasonable
07:55in the morning it was quite beautiful this morning around 8 to 9 it was a very nice 70 and
08:00sunny so love to see it but we will be getting that cold front within the next couple of weeks
08:06to make it fully feel like fall so thank you very much for tuning in on this lovely Friday that's
08:13all we've got going on today so I'm Dana Keung and that's all that's trending
08:18we'll see you next time
08:20we'll see you next time
