Former president Donald Trump scores a major legal Victory the US Supreme Court rules States cannot kick him off the ballot over his actions leading up to the riot at the US capital more than a dozen staff members did not report to an Orange County Middle School after a student threatened an employee how
Leaders are keeping students and staff safe and I’m tracking a low pressure system moving up the coast I’ll show you how much of our viewing area we’ll see rain through the afternoon with breaking news on the eve of the super Tuesday the US Supreme Court has issued a ruling that puts
Former president Trump back on the ballot in Colorado and Maine good afternoon to you I’m Jeff Hogan and I’m Renee Chu Donald Trump already called this a big win in a social media post he said to speak about the ruling any moment we will monitor Trump’s remarks
In the WL live Center and keep you po posted throughout the hour as we take a live look at where he is set to speak at Marl Lago Alice bar takes a look at the 20page Supreme Court decision and what this ruling means big picture-wise the Supreme Court ruled
Quickly today in a case that has huge implications for the upcoming election the judges deciding unanimously that states cannot kick former president Trump off of their ballots this reverses a Colorado Supreme Court decision where those state supreme court justices had said the former president should be off
The ballot on grounds that he engaged in Insurrection for his actions leading up to January 6th and this all stemmed from The Constitution’s 14th Amendment a provision there but essentially the US Supreme Court has now ruled the lower court had wrongly assumed states can determine if a presidential candidate is
Ineligible that makes it clear the high court believes that Congress not states have authority over how to use that 14th Amendment provision there were a number of other similar challenges out there but this ruling applies to all states and it comes a day before super Tuesday
When voters in Colorado will head to the polls along with more than a dozen other states former president Trump celebrated the ruling on social media calling it a big win for America in Washington I’m Alice bar back to you and here in the Life Center we are monitoring reaction from across the
Country about this ruling uh Colorado Secretary of State posting to social media platform X writing I am disappointed in the US Supreme Court’s decision stripping states of the authority to enforce section three of the 14th Amendment for federal candidates Colorado should be able to Bar Oath breaking insurrections from our
Ballot she posted that about 2 hours ago after that ruling came down I am monitoring reaction I have not heard anything from Main secretary of state yet as soon as I do I will let you know from the live Center and this ruling comes less than 24 hours before North
Carolina’s primary election but many people already cast their ballots in this state early voting wrapped up Saturday after 17 days according to data released by the state more than 9% of the state’s eligible voters went to the polls during early voting or have submitted an absentee ballot so that’s

McDougall Middle School to explain what we know about this threat and how the school is handling those absences Monica Renee we know that 15 staff members are not at school today I spoke with one staff member who has serious safety concerns this threat happened here last week and this person tells me
They are concerned the student who made that threat is not getting the help they need this person also tells me they believe the safety plan that’s been proposed is not sustainable and they are upset with the district’s handling of this situation they believe this student poses a threat Chapel Hill and carboro
City School’s spokesperson Andy Janks says the district is hearing and listening to the concerns from families and staff while also balancing the privacy and education rights of that student we’re looking out for not just the best interests of a particular student but also the best interest of everybody else who’s inside the school
At this time and both of those can be true at the same time but it’s up to us to work with everyone involved to develop that shared understanding Jen says substitute teachers and other staff have covered any vacancies today so no impact to classes here at this time the SRO who
Usually Cycles among three schools throughout the day is also assigned here all day carboro police have confirmed a juvenile petition was filed on the student who made the threat last week now we have been here all morning and we have seen a line of cars of parents
Picking up their students here today I spoke with one parent who wanted to remain anonymous who told me their children told them the student who made the threat was back in school today that parent tells me they did not feel comfortable having their children here while that student was here as well
Renee so school is in session but very unsettling for some parents and students Monica Casey live at McDougall Middle School in carboro a coastal low is pushing rain into our area this afternoon Elizabeth Gardner is in the W severe weather center with a look at who
Is most likely to see this rain during the evening commute as uh really for the folks who are farthest east that’s where we’ll see it and especially to the north and east the low as you can watch it is moving northward gradually we’d start that loop back up and there’s definitely
Some rain associated with this in eastern North Carolina some of that is St starting to affect a few of our counties we are definitely seeing some rain here in the eastern part of uh Halifax County Northampton County and almost all of Edom County we’ll start to see that pushing a little farther east
Too the next hour or two across parts of Wilson County and probably the northern part of Wayne County as well as the low moves northward it’ll start to rotate more of this rain back just to the north and east of Raleigh but again we’ll zoom
In and you can see just east of Rocky Mount and Wilson around Tarboro um across parts of Wilson County and uh Halifax County Northampton County as well here’s a look at Future cast and as we head it through the afternoon you can see again just really right along the
I95 quor some of it by 5:00 might spread to the west but it falls AP apart as that happens so we’re not very likely to see anything really around Raleigh or fville or certainly Parts West but as the system continues to rotate around we might see a few more areas up in the
Northeast that see a few more showers before the day is over uh so just some scattered light rain here and again picking up a little bit during afternoon and evening another good soer on Wednesday I’ll show you that coming up today Durham city leaders will vote on whether to bring back gunshot detection
Technology police say it helps them get to scenes more quickly and keeps the community safer wr’s Laura LaVine has details on the program the city’s one-year pilot program for The Gunshot detection system ended in December and today it’s back on the table for discussion this time with a more than
$650,000 Pro price tag so city councilors today they’re going to receive a presentation and some data from the police department and taking a closer look on whether or not they want to start a threeyear contract shot spotter uses sensors placed in a 3 square mile radius near downtown to

Shots per alert 26.9% of the shot spotter alerts also had a resident 911 call so in the last meeting council members asked Chief Patrice Andrews if turning the sensors off has had any impact on their response we knew that we needed to get on scene and get on scene
Quickly uh we knew that we needed to try and collect as much evidence and locate and collect as much evidence as possible um but we also respected council’s decision but that did not have an effect on how we did our work so far Durham police’s response to these shot spotter
Alerts has resulted in 24 arrests a Durham Police Chief Andrews advocated in favor of the technology she said it’s significant that nearly 80% of the shooting reports to police were initiated by shotspotter Durham city council meets tonight at 7 Laura lvim WL news in Durham this morning the Durham

Talking about earlier really right along the I95 Corridor and Eastward that low will just continue to Trek right up the uh right up the coast and away from us as we get into this evening so right now we’re looking at a little bit of rain there in Wilson County edcom County
Halifax Northampton County and of course right there is I 95 it may push a little bit farther Inland maybe all the way up to around weake County but fizzle out really before it makes it to a Raleigh or or faville for that matter we might see some of it approaching the I 85
Quarter later on this evening here’s a closer look in and you can see just starting to move into Wilson right now probably that first little bit isn’t reaching the ground but I’ve got the Wilson camera uh ready to go for you little sprinkle in Rocky bound uh Pine
Tops over through parts of edcom County and then of course northward on up into Halifax County and Northampton County once again we’ll take a look at Future cast by 2:00 again I kind of seeing that rain right there along the 95 quter starting to push Westward but then

Votes and release those results at 7:30 when the polls close on Election Day lawmakers changed that state elections director Karen Brenson Bell says counties are now not allowed to tabulate early in-person votes until 7:30 when the polls have closed this may mean a delay in those early voting results those

The push to end Dei comes from a fundamental misunderstanding on what Dei really is Governor Santa sees Dei is toxic people love to think that Dei is only for African-Americans which is not true it also applies to white women asian-americans lgtbq disability students an NBC News analysis shows GOP
Lawmakers across more than 30 states have introduced measures to to either limit or eliminate Dei initiatives altogether during this legislative session alone in Texas a sweeping new ban on Dei across all state universities took effect at the start of the New Year while the future is unclear how many

Happening with NASA and up there in space back here on Earth meteorologist Elizabeth Gardner is tracking our weather and we’re waiting on that rain that’s uh hugging the coast right now yeah most of us are not going to see it today which is fine we have a lot of
Rain in our forecast for Wednesday and I’m going to show you that coming up in just a few minutes but it’s definitely cloudy Goldsboro um Apex Chapel Hill Chapel Hill seeing a little bit of Blue Sky the farther west you are like Chapel Hill the more uh certain we are that
You’re not going to see any rain today you can see a little blue sky there courtesy of top of the hill restaurant and fville there uh our Newsroom on Hay Street so here’s what’s happening we have a coastal low that is moving up the coast right now it’s just is going to
Continue to almost head due north maybe even a little bit Northeast it has winds that rotate counterclockwise which is what a low does and it is pushing some rain into eastern North Carolina as that low moves away of course it’s going to take the rain along with it and it just
Isn’t going to have enough ump to push too much in our Direction so a little bit of light patchy rain may bring a Sprinkle or two in Goldsboro nothing really reaching the ground right now but showing with some rain there in Wilson County edcom County Halifax and Northampton counties we’ll zoom in you
Can see here in r o Rapids this is the part of the viewing area that’s most likely to see any of that rain as the low moves northward it’s going to push more of this rain back to the West so um I would say from Henderson through Warrington ronic Rapids infield um even
Up in South Hill Virginia that’s going to be the area most likely to see rain a little bit of light rain in Goldsboro could uh press past Rocky Mount a little bit toward Nashville um and maybe even Smithfield but we’re just not going to see much rain out of the system today so
Far the rain along the coast and just Inland the coast coal plane has been just a trace you can see the green area showing up there and we just stuck a pin there and it’s just a trace here’s a look at Future cast and you can see
Around 3:00 this just a little light band of rain pushes through and then Fizzles out before it reaches the triangle area but more of that comes swinging past up here to the north again from Rocky Mount up towards South Hill as well as Warrington and Roo Rapids
We’re looking at a much better chance for rain on Wednesday this starts early in the morning with a warm front moving through you can see the yellow and the oranges likely have a few rumbles of Thunder when the cold front comes through later in the afternoon and
Evening but right now it doesn’t look like we would see any severe storms out of this how much rainfall for Wednesday it’s a good bit it’s going to be with us almost all day long anywhere from 3/4 of an inch to an inch to maybe even an inch
And a half in some of our Eastern counties so just a small chance for rain today in our Eastern counties a 90% chance on Wednesday and then Saturday also looks like it could be wet as well temperatures will be nice and warm earlier we talked about our voting forecast for Tuesday looks gorgeous
Mostly sunny 72 and then rain and a few ice olated thunderstorms for most of the day Wednesday Thursday and Friday are fairly dry but we’ll see the rain picking up Friday night into Saturday it does taper off on Sunday and of course don’t forget Saturday we Spring Forward and go back to Daylight
