Deputies confirm one person died following domestic violence incident in Buncombe County

NEWS FOUR AT SIX STARTS NOW. HEAT WARNING FOR FRIDAY. HEAT INDEX 103 TO 107. THIS IS WHAT THE REST OF YOUR WEEKEND LOOKS LIKE IN YOUR FORECAST. YOU KNOW, WE FEEL VERY COMFORTABLE WITH WHAT HAPPENED IN THE RUNOFF. A POLITICAL PARTY IN THE UPSTATE IS MAKING ITS DECISION ON A COMPLAINT FILED BY ONE OF THEIR CANDIDATES IN A COUNCIL OF STATE. I’M NATE STANLEY, HERE IN UNITY PARK, THIS FOURTH OF JULY. I HAVE EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW IF YOU WANT TO WATCH THE FIREWORKS IN GREENVILLE, AND THE BEST WAYS TO GET HERE. SPARTANBURG’S ANNUAL RED, WHITE AND BOOM IS UNDERWAY. I’M TANIQUA PENNIX IN BARNETT PARK TAKING A LOOK AT THIS YEAR’S ACTIVITIES AND HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY. AND IT’S A HOT DAY. IT SURE IS. IT’S AN INCREDIBLE DAY FOR THE HEAT. WE HAVE TEAM COVERAGE OF OUR 4TH OF JULY CELEBRATIONS TONIGHT, BUT FIRST OF ALL WE WANT TO TALK TO METEOROLOGIST GRIFFIN HARDY GRIFFIN. HOW HOT IS IT THIS HOLIDAY WEEKEND? WELL, THE HEAT INDEX IS CLOSE TO 100 OUTSIDE AS OF NOW. SO YOU’RE ALREADY WANT TO DRINK ADDITIONAL WATER. BUT TOMORROW WE’RE TALKING ABOUT A HEAT INDEX, PROBABLY 104 TO 105. YES, REALLY HOT OUT THERE. ACTUAL TEMPERATURES RIGHT NOW ARE 94 IN GREENVILLE, BUT IN CLEMSON IT’S 96. AND ANDERSON AND HARTWELL, 95 IN LAURENS AND SPARTANBURG, EXACTLY 90, EVEN IN THE MOUNTAINS TOWARDS ASHEVILLE AND HENDERSONVILLE. AND AGAIN IT FEELS LIKE THE LOWEST TEMPERATURE, HUNDREDS IN A LARGE PART OF THE AREA, ESPECIALLY FAR WEST. AGAIN, HEAT WARNINGS ARE IN EFFECT TOMORROW FROM 11 AM TO 8 PM. ER, SO YOU MUST BE A LITTLE EXTRA CAREFUL. MORE THAN YOU WOULD OTHERWISE BE DURING THE HOTTEST TIME OF THE YEAR ON AVERAGE. NO SUDDEN SHOWERS IN THE UPSTATE SO FAR. I CAN’T TOTALLY RULE OUT THE POSSIBILITY OF ONE, BUT THE CHANCES ARE VERY SMALL. ABOUT 10 TO 20%. WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA HAD A FEW SPOKEN SHOWERS EARLIER BUT THEY HAVE MOSTLY DISAPPEARED SINCE, AND THAT SHOULD BE THE RESULT FOR THE REST OF THE EVENING. TONIGHT, THE 12 HOUR FORECAST SHOWS THAT TEMPERATURES WON’T REALLY COOL DOWN THAT MUCH. WE’LL STILL HAVE OVER 27 GRAMS EVEN LATE TODAY AT MIDNIGHT, MID TO UPPER 25 GRAMS WHEN YOU WAKE UP TOMORROW, AND IN THE MOUNTAINS, MID 25 GRAMS BY MIDNIGHT TODAY, STILL ON THE WARMER SIDE, THAT’S HOW IT WILL BE TONIGHT AS WELL. HURRICANE BERYL IS STILL IN THE CARIBBEAN. WILL LIKELY HAVE MAJOR IMPACTS ON YUCATAN NEXT. WE’LL TALK MORE ABOUT THE FORECAST TRACK AND THE REST OF THEIR WEEKEND FORECAST IN A FEW MINUTES. THERE ARE A LOT OF FIREWORKS OPTIONS ALL OVER THE UPSTATE THIS FOURTH OF JULY. ONE OF THEM IS THE FIREWORKS AT THE FOURTH EVENT AT UNITY PARK. OUR NATE STANLEY IS LIVE RIGHT NOW AT UNITY PARK WHERE THE EVENT JUST STARTED. NATE, HOW ARE THINGS LOOKING SO FAR? THAT’S RIGHT. EVERYTHING JUST STARTED. I THINK WE HAVE SOME LIVE MUSIC JUST COMING IN. THEY’VE BEEN PLAYING MUSIC HERE ALL DAY. IF THE SONGS HAVE THE WORD AMERICA OR RED, WHITE AND BLUE IN THE SONGS, I CAN GUARANTEE YOU IT’S BEEN PLAYED HERE IN THE LAST FEW HOURS. WE’RE JUST GOING TO LOOK AT IT. WE’VE HAD PEOPLE COMING PRETTY STEADY. ALL AFTERNOON. FAMILIES SETTING UP, PEOPLE HAVE BROUGHT THEIR CHAIRS OUT. PEOPLE SETTING UP THEIR UMBRELLAS AND TENTS. FIREWORKS ARE SUPPORTED TO GO OFF HERE TODAY AT 3:30. AND AS YOU CAN PROBABLY HEAR IN THE BACKGROUND, LIVE MUSIC HAS JUST STARTED ON THE PRISMA GREEN, THERE’S ALSO A WIDE RANGE OF FOOD TRUCK OPTIONS, AND SO PEOPLE CAN ESCAPE THE HEAT TODAY. GET SOME COLD WATER. ONE FOOD TRUCK OWNER SAYS HE’S ESPECIALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO PEOPLE TODAY. WE’RE GOING TO BE VERY CAREFUL. WE’RE GOING TO TAKE CARE OF OUR PEOPLE. WE HAVE SMALL PORTABLE FANS FOR EVERYONE TO CARRY, AND THESE THINGS MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE FOR EVERYONE. AND THE CITY IS ASKING PEOPLE TO USE THE SWAMP RABBIT TRAIL TO GET TO UNITY PARK. WE SAW A LOT OF PEOPLE USING THIS TODAY TO GET IN. THE TRAIL WILL BE CLOSED FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES AFTER THE FIREWORKS, BUT WILL REOPEN AS SOON AS IT IS SAFE TO HAVE THE FIREWORKS. MAGE, YOU MENTIONED USING THE SWAMP RABBIT TRAIL TO GET IN, BUT IS THERE A SHUTTLE FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO AVOID A LONG WALK TO THEIR CAR? YES, SO THERE WILL BE A TROLLEY THAT GOES FROM DOWNTOWN COMMUNITY PARK, AND IT WILL RUN UNTIL 9 PM. AND THEN AGAIN TONIGHT UNTIL 11 PM. IT STOPS AT THE GREENLINK TERMINAL AND THE CORNER OF WEST WASHINGTON AND NORTH HUDSON STREET. SO THOSE ARE SOME OF THE WAYS FOR PEOPLE TO GET HOME TONIGHT. IF THEY ARE PLANNING ON COMING OUT. OTHERS WILL BE OUT HERE A LITTLE LONGER. SO AGAIN, MAKE SURE YOU BRING SUNSCREEN AND SOMETHING TO PROTECT YOU FROM THE SUN. AND LOTS, LOTS OF WATER. REPORTING FROM GREENVILLE. NATE STANLEY, WYFF NEWS FOUR NATE, THANKS. ALL RIGHT. NOW WE’RE GOING TO SPARTANBURG TO SEE THEY CELEBRATE THE FOURTH ANNIVERSARY. THE CITY OF SPARTANBURG IS HOSTING ITS ANNUAL RED, WHITE AND BOOM CELEBRATION. OUR TANIQUA PENNIX IS LIVE IN THE PARK TO JOIN IN ALL THE FUN, AND TANIQUA, SHOW US WHAT YOU SEE. YES, THE OFFICIAL. OK, GUYS, THE NATIONAL ANTHEM JUST ENDED, SO THERE’S A LOT OF RED, WHITE AND BLUE HERE. AND THEN THERE’S LIVE MUSIC PLAYING ON THE STAGE. THE PEOPLE THAT CAME HERE EARLY. THEY WERE SMART.

THE GREENVILLE COUNTY DEMOCRATIC PARTY MADE ITS DECISION BASED ON A PROTEST FILED IN A CLOSE RACE FOR COUNTY COUNCIL. OUR ARENA HAS A SUMMARY OF THESE PROCEEDINGS. BEHIND THOSE CLOSED DOORS. THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HEARD A PROTEST OF THE ELECTION RESULTS FOR GREENVILLE COUNTY COUNCIL AFTER ABOUT TWO HOURS OF HEARINGS. THEY HAVE MADE THEIR DECISION. YES, THE PARTY BOARD VOTED UNANIMOUSLY ON THURSDAY MORNING TO CONFIRM THE RESULTS OF THE RUNOFF ELECTION WHICH ENNIS FANT WON BY ONLY 24 VOTES. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, THIS IS AN ELECTION WHERE IT MATTER AND THE RESULTS WERE AS CLOSE AS THEY WERE. UH, BUT WE MAINTAINED INTEGRITY. WE MAINTAINED COURTISE. THEIR CALLS HAVE PROTESTED THE RESULTS AND ALLEGED VOTE RIGGING AND THE QUESTIONING OF FENCE RESIDENTS IN THE COUNTY. GREENVILLE COUNTY ELECTIONS OFFICER CONWAY BELANGIA DENIES ANY WRONGDOING BY HIS OFFICE. NO ONE HAS PRESENTED ANYONE WHO WAS REJECTED. YOU KNOW, WE KNOW SOME PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SENT TO ANOTHER POLLING PRECIPIT BECAUSE THEY SHOWED UP IN THE WRONG POLLING PRECIPIT.

FANT SAYS THE QUESTION OF HIS RESIDENCE HAS ALREADY BEEN DECIDED. I’VE HAD MY SAME ADDRESS SINCE NOVEMBER 2011, 13 YEARS. ER, THE COURTS HAVE DEALED WITH IT. A MILLION TIMES. THERE IS NOTHING TO DISCUSS, THE PARTY AGREEMENTED AND DID NOT ALLOW QUARREL’S TEAM TO ARGUE THE ISSUE DURING THE HEARING. BUT QUARREL SAYS HIS FIGHT IS FAR FROM OVER. I WILL CONTINUE TO FIGHT FOR THIS COMMUNITY, WHETHER IN AN ELECTED POSITION OR NOT. I WILL CONTINUE TO DO THE WORK BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN UNDERREPRESENTED FOR TOO LONG. WE HAVE HAD NO REPRESENTATION. CORAL SAYS HE WILL APPEAL THE DECISION TO THE STATE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, WITH HEARING SCHEDULED FOR SATURDAY IN COLUMBIA, REPORTS
