HOLDING A RIFLE IN YOUR HAND, WITH A TARGET HANGING IN THE TREE. WHY WERE YOU DOING THAT AT CLERMONT? MAN WAS ALLEGEDLY TRYING OUT SOME TARGET PRACTICE AT AN APARTMENT COMPLEX WITH CHILDREN NEARBY, AND HE TOLD POLICE HE WAS UNDER THE INFLUENCE WHILE SHOOTING. PLUS, A BILL ON THE TABLE WOULD PIN THE COST OF CAR CRASH INJURIES ON THE DRIVER AT FAULT. HOW THIS INSURANCE SHAKEUP WOULD AFFECT PREMIUMS. AND A NEW SOCCER STADIUM COULD BE COMING TO WINTER GARDEN. THE PLAN TO TRANSFORM THIS OPEN SPACE INTO A BOOMING SPORTS COMPLEX. WESH TWO NEWS SUNRISE ON CW 18 STARTS RIGHT NOW. GOOD MORNING AND THANKS FOR STAYING WITH US HERE ON SUNRISE. I’M MEREDITH MCDONOUGH AND I’M SANIKA DANGE. IT HAS BEEN A WEEK OF JUST BEAUTIFUL SUNRISES. TODAY IS NO DIFFERENT, BUT AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT OUR FRIDAY FORECAST. FIRST WARNING METEOROLOGIST KELLIANNE KLASS IS HERE TO WALK US THROUGH A COUPLE OF THINGS WE DO NEED TO KEEP IN MIND. YES, WE HAVE A FIRE RISK TODAY, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE WEST OF THE METRO AND WE ALSO HAVE HEAT. BUT EVENTUALLY WE’LL HAVE SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. LET’S GET YOU OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW TO A LOOK AT OUR TOWER CAM NETWORK IN DAYTONA BEACH. MOSTLY CLEAR CONDITIONS FROM THIS VIEWPOINT, AND DESPITE THAT SUNSHINE, IT’S STILL CHILLY OUTSIDE. WE’RE AT 59 DEGREES IN DAYTONA, 57 DEGREES IN OCALA, 63 DEGREES IN ORLANDO, 71 DEGREES IN MELBOURNE. AND WE ARE AT 70 DEGREES IN TITUSVILLE. SO A LITTLE BIT WARMER THIS MORNING IN BREVARD COUNTY BECAUSE OF AN ONSHORE WIND AT ABOUT TEN MILES PER HOUR. REST OF CENTRAL FLORIDA SEEING A CALM WIND TO ABOUT FIVE MILES PER HOUR. NOW TODAY THAT WIND IS GOING TO PICK UP OUT OF THE EAST SOUTHEAST AT 15 TO 25MPH. IT’S ALSO GOING TO BE WARM WITH TEMPERATURES REACHING THE 80S BECAUSE IT’S GOING TO BE WARM, WINDY, AND DRY IN LAKE, SUMTER AND POLK COUNTIES, WE HAVE A RED FLAG WARNING THAT WILL START AT 12:00 THIS AFTERNOON, GOING UNTIL 6:00 THIS EVENING. BUT WE DO HAVE RAIN IN THE FORECAST. WE’LL HAVE THOSE DETAILS COMING UP IN A FEW MINUTES. FIRST, THOUGH, LET’S GET OVER TO FIRST WARNING TRAFFIC EXPERT MEAGHAN MACKEY KELLIANNE HEADING OUT THE DOOR. WE ARE MONITORING A COUPLE CRASHES RIGHT NOW, INCLUDING THIS ONE HERE ALONG I-4. IT’S ON THE WESTBOUND SIDE APPROACHING TO BERRY AVENUE. YOU CAN SEE THE SLOWDOWNS HERE. THE CRASH AHEAD IS BLOCKING OFF PART OF THAT RIGHT LANE AND THE SHOULDER. SO BECAUSE WE’RE NOW ENTERING THE PEAK TRAVEL HOURS OF THE MORNING, THERE ARE SOME HEAVIER DELAYS THERE. CLOSE TO THE BERRY AVENUE ON THE WESTBOUND SIDE. THERE’S ALSO A CRASH IN OCOEE. IT’S ALONG A SILVER STAR ROAD RIGHT AT HIAWASSEE. THAT IS A BIG INTERSECTION THERE IN OCOEE. AND THERE’S A PARTIAL ROADBLOCK, ACCORDING TO FHP. THIS IS A LOOK AT THE MAP, AND OUR CHOPPER IS LOOKING LIKE THEY’RE OVER THAT CRASH HERE ALONG I-4. SO A LOT GOING ON ON THE ROADS. WE’LL CHECK IN AGAIN WITH THESE CRASHES COMING UP IN ABOUT 15 MINUTES. LEADERS IN WINTER GARDEN ARE MOVING FORWARD WITH PLANS TO POTENTIALLY BUILD A PROFESSIONAL SOCCER STADIUM. CITY COMMISSIONERS VOTED TO CONTINUE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THIS PROPOSAL. WESH 2’S PAOLA TRISTAN ARUDA IS LIVE IN WINTER GARDEN PAOLA. NOT EVERYONE IS ON BOARD WITH THIS IDEA. YEAH, WELL, SOME PEOPLE ARE EXCITED ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY THIS COULD BRING FOR THE CITY, WHILE OTHERS HAVE SOME CONCERNS ABOUT THE POTENTIAL TRAFFIC AND NOISE THIS COULD BRING. NOW, THE IDEA FOR THE PROPOSED WINTER GARDEN GATEWAY PLAN WOULD BE TO TRANSFORM ABOUT 70 ACRES OF OPEN LAND INTO A MIXED USE SPACE CENTERED AROUND A 5000 SEAT SOCCER STADIUM. RIGHT NOW, THE SITE IS JUST AN OPEN FIELD ON EAST PLANT STREET, NEXT TO THE STATE ROAD 429 INTERCHANGE. PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE AREA, AS WELL AS THOSE VISITING, HAD PLENTY TO SAY ABOUT THE PROPOSAL DURING LAST NIGHT’S CITY COMMISSION COMMISSIONERS MEETING. I THINK IT’S ACTUALLY PROBABLY A GREAT OPPORTUNITY, YOU KNOW, IT’S GOING TO ATTRACT MORE PEOPLE HERE AND THE PEOPLE WHO ALREADY LIVE HERE. SOMETHING REALLY GOOD TO DO, SOMETHING OF THIS MAGNITUDE IS AMBITIOUS AND ADMITTEDLY DAUNTING TO MYSELF AND THE CONCERNED RESIDENTS THAT CAME HERE TONIGHT. CITY COMMISSIONERS VOTED 4 TO 1 TO CONTINUE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THE FEASIBILITY OF THE PROPOSED PLAN, AND THE CITY AND DEVELOPERS WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THIS AND NEGOTIATING THE FUTURE OF THIS SITE. COVERING ORANGE COUNTY LIVE IN WINTER GARDEN PAOLA TRISTAN ARUDA. WESH TWO NEWS. RIGHT NOW, SEMINOLE COUNTY DEPUTIES ARE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO FIRED A GUN AT ANOTHER DRIVER ON THE 417. THIS HAPPENED AROUND 530 YESTERDAY MORNING SOUTH OF STATE ROAD 434. THE SHERIFF’S OFFICE SAYS SOMEONE FIRED SEVERAL SHOTS AT A BOX TRUCK DURING AN ARGUMENT. INVESTIGATORS SAY THE DRIVER WAS NOT HURT AND THAT THE SHOOTER SPED OFF IN A UTILITY VEHICLE. NEW 911 CALLS AND BODY CAMERA VIDEO SHOWS THE MOMENTS BEFORE ORLANDO POLICE SHOT AND KILLED A MAN ARMED WITH AN AR STYLE RIFLE. IS SOMEONE COMING BECAUSE THIS GUY IS JUST BEATING ON MY DOOR? OKAY, SIR, DO YOU KNOW THIS PERSON? YEAH I DO. HIS NAME IS NICK AND HE’S DRUNK. I’M SURE. AND HE’S. AND I’M AFRAID TO GO OUTSIDE. AND HE HAS WEAPONS. DO YOU SEE A WEAPON? HE’S ALWAYS GOT A WEAPON ON HIM. THE 911 CALL SENT OFFICERS TO A STUDIO WORKSPACE APARTMENT ON EAST COLONIAL NEAR MAGNOLIA AVENUE ON MARCH 1ST. OFFICERS EVENTUALLY FOUND THE MAN WALKING OUT WITH A GUN. HEY, SHOW US YOUR HANDS. SHOW. OKAY. YOU HEARD THERE. OFFICERS YELL FOR THE MAN TO SHOW THEM TO SHOW HIS HANDS AS HE WALKED OUT WITH A GUN POINTED TO THE SKY. OFFICERS SAY THAT HE DISOBEYED COMMANDS AND WAS SHOT AND KILLED. NO OFFICERS WERE HURT. THEY ARE ON ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE AS FDLE INVESTIGATES. A CLAREMONT MAN IS FACING CHARGES, ACCUSED OF FIRING A GUN WHILE DRUNK WITH KIDS PLAYING JUST NEARBY. HEY, HEY, PUT THE RIFLE DOWN. PUT IT DOWN. THIS HAPPENED LAST FRIDAY. REPORTS CAME IN FOR A MAN FIRING A GUN BEHIND AN APARTMENT COMPLEX. WHEN OFFICERS GOT THERE, THEY FOUND 30 YEAR-OLD. CHRISTOPHER GAFFNEY. AND THEY ALSO FOUND A PAPER TARGET HANGING IN A TREE. ACCORDING TO THE ARREST REPORT, GAFFNEY TOLD AN OFFICER HE HAD JUST WATCHED AN ACTION MOVIE AND WANTED TO SEE IF HE COULD SEE A TARGET THROUGH HIS RIFLE SCOPE. AT CERTAIN DISTANCES. AND AT FIRST, GAFFNEY SAID HE NEVER FIRED THE GUN. OFFICERS FOUND HIM WITH. THAT IS ACCORDING TO THE REPORT, AND THE BODY CAMERA VIDEO. SO YOU CAME OUT HERE IN A COMMON AREA WITH A LOADED RIFLE, HUNG A TARGET UP BECAUSE YOU WEREN’T PLANNING ON SHOOTING IT? SIR, THAT IS CORRECT, SIR. DO I LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT? ACCORDING TO THE REPORT, GAFFNEY DID ADMIT TO DRINKING TWO BEERS LATE THAT AFTERNOON OR EVENING. HE ALSO ULTIMATELY ADMITTED TO FIRING THE GUN. A JUDGE HAS RULED THAT THE PUBLIC AND NEWS MEDIA CAN ATTEND COURT HEARINGS FOR STEFAN STEARNS. STEARNS IS ACCUSED OF MURDERING AND RAPING 13 YEAR OLD MADELEINE SOTO. NOW HIS LAWYERS WANTED THE HEARINGS CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC, ARGUING THE ATTENTION WOULD PREVENT A FAIR TRIAL. BUT AN ATTORNEY REPRESENTING WESH TWO NEWS AND OTHER MEDIA OUTLETS ARGUED A FAIR JURY IS STILL POSSIBLE, DESPITE THE PUBLICITY. WE ARE LEARNING MORE ABOUT THE MAN BEHIND US AND THE MURDER HE’S ACCUSED OF. DEPUTIES SAY THAT LAMAR BRYANT SHOT HIS ESTRANGED WIFE INSIDE OF HER HOME. WESH TWO SENAIT GEBREGIORGIS UNCOVERED NEW DETAILS LEADING UP TO THE MURDER OF HIS WIFE, TAKISHA EADS. THE NEW COURT DOCUMENTS SHOW THE MOM OF FOUR WAS TRYING TO LEAVE THE MARRIAGE BEFORE SHE WAS SHOT TO DEATH. LAMAR BRYANT FACED A JUDGE THURSDAY ACCUSED OF KILLING HIS WIFE AT THEIR HOME IN ORANGE COUNTY. SIR, YOU WERE ARRESTED ON A WARRANT FOR FIRST DEGREE PREMEDITATED MURDER SIGNED BY JUDGE DEAN. HE SET YOU AT NO BOND. ACCORDING TO AN ARREST AFFIDAVIT, A 911 CALLER REPORTED, QUOTE, MY SON IN LAW SHOT MY DAUGHTER. WHEN DEPUTIES RESPONDED TO THE SHOOTING IN ORLO VISTA TUESDAY, THEY FOUND 42 YEAR OLD TAKISHA EADS IN THE BATHROOM WITH A GUNSHOT WOUND TO THE HEAD. THE NEW DOCUMENTS SHOW THE DAUGHTERS WERE HOME WHEN THEIR MOM WAS KILLED, WITH ONE OF THEM SAYING BEFORE THE SHOOTING, BRYANS PICKED THEM UP FROM SCHOOL AND STOPPED AT A LIQUOR STORE, THEN STARTED DRINKING AND DRIVING. AT SOME POINT, BRYANT ALLEGEDLY STOPPED AT A STORAGE UNIT AND WENT INSIDE. HIS DAUGHTER TOLD INVESTIGATORS THE UNIT IS WHERE HE KEEPS GUNS AND THAT WHEN HE CAME BACK TO THE CAR, BRYANT REMOVED TWO FIREARMS FROM HIS POCKETS AND PLACED THEM ON THE CENTER CONSOLE. THE AFFIDAVIT CLAIMS WHEN BRYANT DROVE TO THE HOUSE, TAKISHA WAS ON THE PORCH, THEN WENT INTO THE BATHROOM WITH BRYANT FOLLOWING HER INSIDE. ALL OF A SUDDEN CAME SOUNDS OF SEVERAL GUNSHOTS. DEPUTIES SAY TWO PEOPLE RAN OUT THE HOUSE, AND WHEN BRYANT CAME OUT, TEKISH’S DAUGHTER ASKED HIM, WHAT’S GOING ON? SHE SAID BRYANT SHRUGGED HIS SHOULDERS AND SAID NOTHING, THEN LEFT. INVESTIGATORS ADDED THAT THEY LEARNED TAKISHA RECENTLY FILED FOR DIVORCE FROM BRYANT, BUT HE REFUSED TO SIGN THE PAPERS. THAT WHOLE LOSS OF CONTROL FOR THE ABUSER IS WHEN THE VIOLENCE ESCALATES. MICHELLE IS CEO OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SHELTER AND RESOURCE HARBOR HOUSE OF CENTRAL FLORIDA. SHE SAYS ONE OUT OF THREE WOMEN AND ONE OUT OF FOUR MEN WILL EXPERIENCE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. BUT THERE IS A WAY OUT. WE’RE HERE AND WE WANT TO HELP PEOPLE. WE ALWAYS TALK TO SURVIVORS ABOUT IF YOU FEEL IT, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE YOU ARE RIGHT. DON’T SECOND GUESS YOURSELF. DON’T EXPLAIN IT AWAY. THAT IS SAYING THAT THIS ISN’T RIGHT AND I NEED TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT FOR ME AND FOR THE KIDS. COVERING ORANGE COUNTY, SENAIT GEBREGIORGIS WESH TWO NEWS. IF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW NEEDS SUPPORT, PLEASE CALL THE 24 HOUR CRISIS HOTLINE THAT IS SHOWN RIGHT THERE ON YOUR SCREEN. THAT NUMBER IS (407) 886-2856. NOW WE ALSO HAVE MORE LOCAL DOMESTIC ABUSE RESOURCES POSTED ON OUR WEBSITE WESH.COM. 709 RIGHT NOW YOU’RE GOING TO WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS WILD VIDEO OF A CRASH ON THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE. LOOK AT THAT. THE TRACTOR TRAILER ERUPTED INTO FLAMES AND THEN FLIPPED OVER THE MEDIAN. YOU CAN SEE THAT PICKUP TRUCK JUST SWERVING TO GET AROUND IT. THIS HAPPENED YESTERDAY AFTERNOON IN BROWARD COUNTY. DRIVERS, ALL OF THOSE LANES WERE TRYING TO AVOID THE MESS THAT WAS LEFT BEHIND. FLORIDA HIGHWAY PATROL IS INVESTIGATING THE CRASH, AND TROOPERS HAVE NOT YET SAID IF THE DRIVER WAS HURT. WOW. I KNOW, INCREDIBLE VIDEO. ALL RIGHT. COVERING FLORIDA. BILL MOVING THROUGH TALLAHASSEE WOULD TARGET NO FAULT AUTO INSURANCE. THE CURRENT NO FAULT SYSTEM COVERS DRIVERS MEDICAL BILLS, REGARDLESS OF WHO CAUSED THE ACCIDENT. BUT THIS NEW PROPOSAL COULD CHANGE THAT. SHIFTING TO AN AT FAULT SYSTEM WHERE THE DRIVER RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACCIDENT WOULD PAY. IT WOULD ALSO REQUIRE DRIVERS TO CARRY BODILY INJURY COVERAGE. NOW, SUPPORTERS LIKE PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY MICHAEL POLITIS BELIEVE THAT AT FAULT SYSTEMS, THOSE ARE MORE FAIR AND LESS PRONE TO FRAUD. THE PROPOSED LEGISLATION THAT REQUIRES MANDATORY BODILY INJURY COVERAGE OF 25,010 THOUSAND PROPERTY DAMAGE, I THINK IS GOING TO HELP THE INDIVIDUAL PERSON IN THE EVENT THEY ARE THE VICTIM OF A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT. BUT OPPONENTS BELIEVE IT WILL FORCE PREMIUMS TO GO UP. IF ADOPTED, THE CHANGES WILL GO INTO EFFECT NEXT JULY. THERE’S ALSO A BILL TO UNDO A LAW THAT PUSHED BACK SCHOOL START TIMES. IT WOULD INSTEAD LEAVE IT UP TO LOCAL OFFICIALS TO DECIDE WHEN SCHOOLS START. THE MOVE COMES AFTER AN OUTCRY FROM MANY DISTRICTS, WHICH SAID THEY’RE STRUGGLING TO COMPLY WITH THE CURRENT LAW’S DEADLINE DUE TO NEEDING TO BUY MORE BUSSES AND HIRE HARD TO FIND DRIVERS. UNDER THE CURRENT LAW, STARTING IN THE 2026 SCHOOL YEAR, HIGH SCHOOLS COULDN’T START EARLIER THAN 8:30 A.M. AND MIDDLE SCHOOLS COULDN’T START EARLIER THAN 8 A.M. TODAY’S ORLANDO’S 24TH ANNUAL BIKE TO WORK DAY. THIS GROUP RIDING EVENT IS KICKING OFF IN LESS THAN AN HOUR AT 8:00 THIS MORNING. IT WILL START AT THE CREATIVE VILLAGE AND THEN HEAD WEST TO CITY HALL. AND THEN THERE WILL BE A POST RIDE CELEBRATION, HOPEFULLY A LITTLE BREAKFAST AFTER THAT RIDE. THAT SOUNDS GOOD. ALL RIGHT. A TORNADO OUTBREAK CAN TAKE LIVES, BUT FOR SURVIVORS, IT CAN ALSO TAKE AWAY SOME PRICELESS MEMORIES. BUT ONE WOMAN WILL GET A PIECE OF HER WEDDING BACK. THAT WAS BLOWN 100 MILES AWAY. I JUST THINK THAT GOD PLACED IT HERE BECAUSE HE KNEW I COULD FIND THE PERSON THAT GOES TO HOW THE COUPLE WHO FOUND THE WEDDING PHOTO WAS ABLE TO TRACE IT BACK TO THE BRIDE, PLUS A ONE OF A KIND MISSION GETTING READY TO LAUNCH FROM OUR SPACE COAST WITH THE ASTRONAUTS ON BOARD WILL DO THAT.
