IT’S JUNE 23RD, 2024. GOOD SUNDAY MORNING, I’M JAY SCOTT SMITH AND WITH ME TODAY IS METEOROLOGIST MARY ELLEN PAN. AFTER A RECORD DAY YESTERDAY, IT’S A LITTLE UNSTABLE HERE THIS MORNING. YES, IT’S. IT’S HOT AGAIN TODAY, BUT IT’S THE LAST DAY OF OUR HEAT WAVE. OFFICIALLY WE’LL HIT 90 AGAIN TODAY. YESTERDAY WE BROKE A RECORD, AS YOU JUST MENTIONED. IT WAS 99. THAT WAS THE NEW RECORD. THE OLD RECORD WAS 97. SO IT WAS A HOT DAY. LET’S TAKE A LOOK OUTSIDE. WE SEE A LITTLE MORE CLOUD COVER TODAY THAN YESTERDAY WHEN WE LOOK AT OUR YORK SKY CAM. YOU CAN SEE SOME MIDDLE AND HIGH CLOUDS THERE. NOT A BAD PHOTO, BUT I CAN TELL YOU IT FEELS VERY SOUPPY OUTSIDE AND THE TEMPERATURES ARE VERY WARM. LOOK AT THESE NUMBERS: 81 NOW, THOSE ARE THE ACTUAL AIR TEMPERATURES IN HARRISBURG AND YORK, 82 IN GETTYSBURG MID TO UPPER 70S ELSEWHERE. AND THE DEW POINTS ARE HIGH, MID TO UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S. SO IT FEELS PRETTY SOUPPY OUTSIDE. WE HAD SOME RAIN, EVEN A LITTLE GLUBLE THAT MOVED THROUGH YORK AND LANCASTER COUNTIES AND DISAPPEARED FROM HERE. OUR LIVE RADAR NETWORK FROM STAR STORM TEAM, LIVE LOCAL EIGHT, IS SHOWING SOME CLOUD COVER DRIVING ACROSS THE VALLEY RIGHT NOW, AS WE LOOK AT THEIR 12 HOUR FORECAST, PARTLY SUNNY SKIES ARE EXPECTED TODAY. WE WILL NEED TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE SKIES THIS AFTERNOON FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS AS WE ARE STILL UNDER THE HEAT WARNING WHICH COMES INTO EFFECT FROM NOON TO 8PM. I WILL TALK MORE ABOUT THE TIMING OF THE STORMS AND THE DANGERS WE NEED TO WATCH FOR IN MY TEN-DAY FORECAST. THANKS, MARY ELLEN. AND WE’LL START THIS 6 AM HOUR WITH BREAKING NEWS FROM YORK COUNTY AS EMERGENCY TEAMS WERE CALLED TO A FIRE AT A BUSINESS ON BLACK BRIDGE ROAD AROUND 2 AM. WE WILL HAVE MORE INFORMATION ON THIS FIRE AS SOON AS IT IS AVAILABLE, BOTH ON-AIR AND ONLINE. IN HARRISBURG, THE DAUPHIN COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE IS INVESTIGATING A POLICE-INVOLVED SHOOTING WHICH LEFT ONE MAN INJURED. THE INCIDENT OCCURRED on Saturday just before 5 p.m. and resulted in a heavy police presence as well as road closures in the area. NOW DISTRICT ATTORNEY FRAN CHARDO SAYS POLICE WERE IN THE AREA OF 19TH AND DERRY STREETS WHEN THEY SHOT A MAN DURING A TRAFFIC STOP FOR A SERIOUS CRIME. CURRENTLY WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT TRIGGERED THE SHOOTING, WHO THE VICTIM IS OR WHAT THE ARREST WARRANT WAS. NO POLICE OFFICER WAS INJURED IN THE INCIDENT AND THE SUSPECT WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL. NOW CHARDO SAYS THE MAN WAS AWAKE AS HE WAS MOVING ON HIS WAY TO TREATMENT. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED JUST 12 DAYS AFTER ANOTHER POLICE-INVOLVED SHOOTING IN HARRISBURG WHEN 22-YEAR-OLD KENDRELL HALL SHOT A POLICE DOG BEFORE BEING FATALLY KILLED BY ENTERING POLICE OFFICERS. BOTH INCIDENTS ARE CURRENTLY UNDER INVESTIGATION BY CERRITOS OFFICE. WE REMAIN IN HARRISBURG AND POLICE ARE ALSO INVESTIGATING A FRIDAY NIGHT SHOOTING WHICH LEFT A WOMAN INJURED. IT HAPPENED AROUND 10:30 PM NEAR THIRD AND VERBEEK. POLICE SAY THE WOMAN SUFFERED NON-LIFE-THREATENING INJURIES. NO ARRESTS HAVE BEEN MADE SO FAR, AND AS GUN VIOLENCE CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM IN THE CITY OF HARRISBURG, A GUN BUYBACK EVENT WAS HELD YESTERDAY IN THE CAPITAL IN THE HOPES OF GETTING MORE GUNS OFF THE STREETS. THE EVENT, ORGANIZED BY THE OMEGA PSI PHI FRATERNITY KAPPA OMEGA CHAPTER, WORKED WITH THE HARRISBURG POLICE DEPARTMENT AND ALLOWED ANY PERSON TO TURN A GUN TO THE POLICE YESTERDAY WITH NO QUESTIONS ASKED. ALL AMMUNITION AND ANY TYPE OF WEAPON WAS ACCEPTED, WHICH OFFICIALS SAID HAS AN IMPACT ON THE COMMUNITY. SOME OF THESE FIREARMS COULD BE STOLEN. SO IT ACTUALLY ELIMINATES THAT RISK. UHMWHERE, YES, IT HELPS. TRUST ME. IT HELPS THE COMMUNITY TO THROW OUT SOME OF THESE UNWANTED FIREARMS. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THE Q’S HAVE HELD AN EVENT OF THIS KIND AND IT IS PART OF A LARGER EFFORT TO MAKE THE CITY OF HARRISBURG SAFE. JUST KNOWING THAT WE ARE COLLECTING GUNS TO CLEAN UP THE STREETS SO THE CITIZENS OF HARRISBURG FEEL A LITTLE MORE COMFORTABLE AT NIGHT KNOWING THAT THERE ARE FEWER GUNS ON THE STREETS TONIGHT THAN LAST NIGHT. EVERYONE WHO ATTENDED ALSO RECEIVED A $100 VISA GIFT CARD AS WELL AS GROUP CERTIFICATES. THE EVENT WAS SO BUSY THAT THE GIFT CARDS ACTUALLY RUN OUT IN THE FIRST 30 MINUTES. MEANWHILE IN LANCASTER COUNTY LAST EVENING AN AMTRAK TRAIN COLLIDED WITH A TRUCK JUST BEFORE 6 PM. IT HAPPENED NEAR OAK LANE IN EAST HEMPFIELD TOWNSHIP. WE HAVE NOW ASKED FOR MORE INFORMATION BUT HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE. WE WILL KEEP YOU UPDATED ON IT ALL DAY BOTH ON AIR AND ONLINE. YOU KNOW, WE WIN PENNSYLVANIA. WE WIN THE PRESIDENT. WE. AND I CAN TELL YOU, YOU WILL BE HAPPY. NOW. LAST EVENING, DONALD TRUMP HELD HIS FIRST EVER CAMPAIGN RALLY IN THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA. THAT WAS AT THE LIACOURAS CENTER AT TEMPLE UNIVERSITY. NOW TRUMP IS TALKING ABOUT HIS STANCE ON IMMIGRATION INFLATION AND GENERAL SECURITY, AND HE’S ALSO TALKING ABOUT HIS NEARLY THREE DOZEN CONVICTIONS, SAID THEY ARE A BADGE OF HONOR. I AM TRIED FOR YOU. NEVER FORGET THAT OUR ENEMIES WANT TO TAKE AWAY MY FREEDOM BECAUSE I WILL NEVER LET THEM TAKE AWAY YOUR FREEDOM. NEVER. THEY WANT TO SILENCE ME BECAUSE I WILL NEVER LET THEM SILENCE YOU. AND IN THE END, THEY’RE NOT AFTER ME. THEY’RE AFTER YOU. I HAPPEN TO BE IN THEIR WAY. PRIOR TO LAST NIGHT’S RALLY, THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE PUT UP BILLBOARDS AND POSTERS IN THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA. SOME PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATS AND PROGRESSIVE GROUPS ALSO PROTESTED OUTSIDE THE EVENT ALONG BROAD STREET, POINTING OUT THAT TRUMP’S VALUES ARE DIRECTLY OPPOSITE TO THOSE OF THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA. I THINK THAT’S A KICK IN THE STOMACH TO A LOT OF STUDENTS WHO, YOU KNOW, HAVE COMPLETELY OPPOSITE VIEWS, AND TO A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE HERE RIGHT NOW. AND AS WE’RE WALKING AROUND, WE’RE HARRASSING PEOPLE AND ASKING US FOR PICTURES. WE ARE A UNION TOWN. WE CARE ABOUT THE LITTLE GUY. WE CARE ABOUT EVERYONE HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO EARN A SUSTAINABLE WAGE. AND TRUMP IS THE EXACT OPPOSITE. THE EVENT ALSO WAS THE FIRST TIME REPUBLICAN SENATE CANDIDATE DAVE MCCORMICK APPEARED AT A CAMPAIGN EVENT WITH DONALD TRUMP. MEANWHILE, FIRST LADY DOCTOR JILL BIDEN WILL BE HERE IN LANCASTER COUNTY TODAY. THE FIRST LADY WILL BE HOSTING A “WOMEN FOR BIDEN” EVENT AHEAD OF THE TWO-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE SUPREME COURT’S OVERRULING OF THE ROE VERSUS WADE DECISION. ON MONDAY IT WILL BE TWO YEARS OLD SINCE THIS DECISION IN THE CASE OF 6 THREE. WE WILL REPORT ON IT
