Medical helicopter known as to scene of crash in Brown County

WITH WIDESPREAD SEVERE STORMS ANTICIPATED THIS EVENING. I’M BREAKING DOWN THE HOUR BY HOUR TIMELINE AND IMPACTS FOR YOUR FRIDAY EVENING PLANS AND WHAT WE’RE LEFT WITH FOR THE REST OF THE WEEKEND. AND TODAY, CINCINNATI’S POLICE CHIEF WILL ADDRESS THE DEADLY POLICE SHOOTING THAT PROSECUTORS SAY LED TO THE KILLING OF A RETIRED DEPUTY. NICOLE APONTE JOINS US LIVE WITH WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE CASE. AND AS SUMMER GETS CLOSER, POOLS ARE GETTING READY TO OPEN ACROSS CINCINNATI. OUR GIACOMO LUCA JOINS US LIVE WITH WHAT YOU CAN KNOW TO START MAKING PLANS. THIS IS WLWT NEWS FIVE TODAY, LEADING THE WAY. IT WILL BE WINDY WHEN YOU STEP OUT THE DOOR AHEAD OF A POTENTIALLY STRONG STORM LATER TODAY. GOOD MORNING TO YOU. I’M MEGAN MITCHELL AND I’M STEVEN ALBRITTON WITH KELLY RIPPIN. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US HERE ON YOUR FRIDAY. THE THREAT OF INTENSE RAIN, LIGHTNING, LARGE HAIL AND EVEN TORNADOES, ALL OF IT ON DECK. THAT MAKES IT AN ALERT DAY, RIGHT? SO WE’VE HAD WEATHER IMPACT DAYS. THIS IS A WEATHER ALERT DAY BECAUSE OF THE CHANCE FOR SEVERE WEATHER. LET’S TALK WITH METEOROLOGIST RANDI RICO WHO’S TRACKING IT ALL FOR US. SO RANDI, OUR SOUTHERN COUNTIES COULD ALSO SEE THOSE STORMS THIS MORNING. YEAH, RIGHT. OUR RAIN COULD POTENTIALLY COME IN THREE ROUNDS TODAY. IT’S THE EVENING ROUND THAT IS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT. I WANT TO SHOW YOU A WIDE VIEW HERE THIS MORNING. SO YOU CAN SEE RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS MAKING THEIR WAY RIGHT ALONG THE OHIO RIVER. OWENSBORO NOW KIND OF HEADED IN TOWARD LOUISVILLE. THOSE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO SLIDE TO THE NORTH AND EAST. AND OUR SOUTHERN COMMUNITIES HAVE THE BEST CHANCE OF DEALING WITH SOME SCATTERED RAIN OR THUNDERSTORMS. PROBABLY ONCE WE HIT ABOUT THE 6:00 HOUR. SO WE’VE STILL GOT ABOUT AN HOUR OR SO, MAYBE A LITTLE MORE THAN THAT BEFORE THAT RAIN WOULD START TO BE IN OUR DIRECTION. BUT OUR SOUTHERN COUNTIES COULD DEAL WITH STORMS THIS MORNING. ONCE WE GET TO MIDDAY, THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR ADDITIONAL STORMS TO BE HERE IN OUR AREA. THAT WOULD ACTUALLY BE A GOOD THING WHEN IT COMES TO THE STRENGTH OF OUR EVENING SYSTEM, WHICH IS THE MAIN CONCERN TODAY, AND THE REASON THAT OUR AREA HAS BEEN UPGRADED IN MUCH OF THE REGION HERE, MODERATE IS RED. THAT IS A FOUR OUT OF FIVE ON THE POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER, WIDESPREAD SEVERE STORMS INTO THE EVENING HOURS. SO TAKING A LOOK, IT IS A WEATHER ALERT DAY. SCATTERED DAYTIME STORMS CHANCE TO THE SOUTH THIS MORNING, MAYBE A FEW AROUND LUNCHTIME. BUT IT’S THE WIDESPREAD EVENING THREAT THAT BRINGS OUR BIGGEST SEVERE WEATHER THREAT. ALL FORMS ARE POSSIBLE, MEANING LARGE HAIL, DAMAGING WINDS, TORNADOES, ALL A POSSIBILITY. SO THE KEY HERE, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A WAY TO GET WARNINGS. MAKE SURE YOUR DEVICES ARE ALL CHARGED UP SO YOU CAN GET WARNINGS IN THE EVENING HOURS. NOW TAKING YOU THROUGH THE BULK OF YOUR DAY. RIGHT NOW IT’S 71. IT’S QUIET. I THINK, YOU KNOW, 6 TO 8:00 THIS MORNING WE COULD SEE SOME STORMS TO THE SOUTH. AND THEN RIGHT AROUND MIDDAY OR EARLY AFTERNOON, THERE’S THE POSSIBILITY OF ANOTHER BATCH OF STORMS. IT WOULD BE 6:00 TO MIDNIGHT TONIGHT WHEN WE HAVE THE MORE WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER THREAT. WE’RE GOING TO GO HOUR BY HOUR THROUGH THAT TIMELINE COMING UP RIGHT NOW. LET’S GET OVER TO KATIE DONOVAN AND SEE WHAT’S HAPPENING ON THE ROADS. YEAH. SO RIGHT NOW ARE PRETTY QUIET OUT ON THE ROADWAYS. 75 AT GALBRAITH. THIS IS A LIVE LOOK AT THE SOUTHBOUND LANES HERE. DEFINITELY SOME TRAFFIC, BUT WE DON’T HAVE ANY KIND OF BACKUPS TO REPORT HERE. SO YOUR 275 LOOP DRIVE IS CLEAR FROM NORTH TO SOUTH ACROSS HAMILTON COUNTY. ALL OF OUR MAJOR INTERSTATES LOOKING JUST FINE HERE. AND THEN OUTSIDE OF THE 275 LOOP BUTLER WARREN COUNTY, AND THEN BOONE AND CAMPBELL COUNTY, EVEN PLACES ALONG 74 AS YOU HEAD OUT OVER INDIANA, STILL IN THE GREEN RIGHT NOW, TEN MINUTES DRIVE TIME FROM FLORENCE TO DOWNTOWN ON 7175 NORTH, THEN LIBERTY WAY TO DOWNTOWN ON 75 SOUTH AT ABOUT A 20 MINUTE DRIVE THIS MORNING, AND THEN DRIVE FROM BEECHMONT TO DOWNTOWN ON 50 WEST AT ABOUT SEVEN MINUTES 71 SOUTH FROM THE LATERAL TO FORT WASHINGTON WAY, COMING IN AT JUST UNDER TEN MINUTES FOR YOUR COMMUTE TIME THIS MORNING. AGAIN, PRETTY DRY RIGHT NOW. THOSE OF YOU SOUTH OF THE 7175 SPLIT NEED TO WATCH FOR THOSE MORNING SHOWERS, EVEN SOME THUNDERSTORMS. THEN OF COURSE OUR ATTENTION WILL TURN TO STUFF LATER ON THE DAY, PARTICULARLY THIS EVENING. SO START THINKING ABOUT THAT AS YOU MAKE THOSE PLANS FOR THE EVENING DRIVE TONIGHT. STEPHEN. KATIE, THANK YOU SO MUCH. 504. HAPPENING TODAY, CINCINNATI’S POLICE CHIEF WILL ADDRESS THE DEADLY SHOOTING OF RYAN HINTON. AN OFFICER SHOT HINTON AFTER HE RAN FROM A STOLEN CAR THAT SET OFF A SERIES OF EVENTS THAT PROSECUTORS SAY LED TO THE MURDER OF HAMILTON COUNTY DEPUTY LARRY HENDERSON. WLWT NEWS FIVE’S NICOLE APONTE IS LIVE FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT DOWNTOWN, WITH WHAT WE CAN EXPECT. NICOLE, STEVEN. TODAY’S DISCUSSION ABOUT RYAN HINTON IS GOING TO BE VIRTUAL, BUT WE ARE EXPECTING TO HEAR FROM CHIEF. IT’S BEING LED BY CINCINNATI BLACK UNITED FRONT. IT’S AN ORGANIZATION THAT WORKS WITH POLICE ON CASES LIKE THIS TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK AND OVERSIGHT. IT’S NOT CLEAR YET EXACTLY WHAT CHIEF WILL OR EVEN SAY ABOUT THIS CASE. HER DEPARTMENT IS STILL INVESTIGATING, AND SO IS THE CITY’S CITIZEN COMPLAINT AUTHORITY. THEY CAN MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS, BUT IT’S ULTIMATELY UP TO THE COUNTY PROSECUTOR’S OFFICE TO DETERMINE WHETHER ANY CHARGES WILL BE FILED. WE WERE SUPPOSED TO GET AN UPDATE TODAY ON HINTON’S AUTOPSY, BUT THAT WAS CANCELED BECAUSE THE CORONER’S OFFICE GOT A SUBPOENA FROM A GRAND JURY. HERE’S WHAT WE DO KNOW. BODY CAMERA VIDEO SHOWED THE 18 YEAR OLD AND THREE OTHERS RUNNING AWAY FROM A STOLEN CAR OVER IN EAST PRICE HILL BACK ON MAY 1ST. OFFICERS SAY THEY SHOT AND KILLED HINTON AFTER HE POINTED A GUN AT THEM. THEY ALSO SAY THEY FOUND A STOLEN GUN INSIDE THE CAR AND ANOTHER OUTSIDE THE BODY CAMERA VIDEO CONTAINED SO MUCH MOVEMENT THAT IT IS HARD TO SEE THE FIREARM. HINTON HAD. THE WHOLE THING HAPPENED IN ABOUT SIX SECONDS. GROUPS INCLUDING CINCINNATI, CINCINNATI’S NAACP, HAS CALLED FOR AN INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION ON THIS CASE. WE WILL KEEP YOU UPDATED ON WHAT CHIEF TERRY SAYS TODAY AT 4:00 ON ZOOM AND ON FACEBOOK LIVE REPORTING LIVE THIS MORNING, NICOLE APONTE WLWT NEWS FIVE NIKOLE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOU CAN READ OUR FULL COVERAGE OF THIS INVESTIGATION, AS WELL AS HOW PROSECUTORS SAY IT TIES INTO THE KILLING OF DEPUTY HENDERSON. THAT’S ON WLWT.COM. AND OUR NEWS APP. 506 WE ARE LEARNING MORE ABOUT THE TEENAGER WHO WAS KILLED IN A HEAD-ON CRASH IN LIBERTY TOWNSHIP, LAKOTA LOCAL SCHOOL SAYS THE 17 YEAR OLD WAS ONE OF THEIR STUDENTS. THE CRASH REPORT SAYS THE TEEN CROSSED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND HIT A KROGER DELIVERY VAN, HIS CAR ENDING UP AGAINST A BRIDGE GUARDRAIL, AND CAUGHT FIRE. ONE OF THE DEPUTIES WHO RESPONDED TO THE CRASH, ENCOURAGING PARENTS TO TALK WITH YOUR TEENAGERS ABOUT TAKING IT SLOW AND DRIVING WITHOUT DISTRACTIONS. THE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR YOU TO REACT AND UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON IS TOO LATE. AT THAT POINT, YOU NEED TO BE PAYING ATTENTION AND SLOWING THE VEHICLES DOWN AND YOUR REACTION TIME IS EXTREMELY SLOW. A NORMAL PERSON REACTS IN A SECOND AND A HALF. WELL, AT THAT POINT YOU’RE ON TOP OF SOMEBODY. WE ARE NOT NAMING THE STUDENT UNTIL THE CORONER DOES RELEASE THAT INFORMATION. THE VAN’S DRIVER WENT TO UC WESTCHESTER WITH MINOR INJURIES. A SUSPECTED SERIAL KILLER FROM HAMILTON ONCE INVESTIGATED FOR A POSSIBLE LINK TO THE O.J. SIMPSON CASE, WAS EXECUTED AT A FLORIDA STATE PRISON. 62 YEAR OLD GLEN ROGERS WAS KNOWN AS THE CASANOVA KILLER, MURDERING WOMEN HE MET AT BARS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. ROGERS WAS ARRESTED IN 1995 AFTER A KENTUCKY TROOPERS CAUGHT HIM DRIVING HIS LAST VICTIM’S CAR. HE WAS CONVICTED OF MURDERING TWO WOMEN IN FLORIDA IN CALIFORNIA, BUT HE WAS A SUSPECT IN SEVERAL OTHER MURDERS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES, INCLUDING THE 1993 KILLING OF 73 YEAR OLD MARK PETERS IN HAMILTON. ROGERS DIED BY LETHAL INJECTION. 507 THERE’S A NEW PERSON IN CHARGE OF BROKERING A DEAL ON THE BENGALS STADIUM LEASE. IT COMES AFTER A BREAKTHROUGH ON A FUNDING AGREEMENT FOR THE STADIUM. BUT LESS THAN TWO MONTHS BEFORE THE DEADLINE TO RENEW THE LEASE. HAMILTON COUNTY FIRED ATTORNEY TOM GABLEMAN YESTERDAY FROM THAT BROKERING ROLE. HE SAYS HE WAS BLINDSIDED. HE’S NEGOTIATED THE LAST 28 YEARS OF DEALS WITH THE BENGALS, THE REDS AND THE BANKS. HIS REMOVAL COMES LESS THAN TWO MONTHS BEFORE THE DEADLINE TO RENEW THE STADIUM’S LEASE. COUNTY PROSECUTOR CONNIE PILLICH SUGGESTED THE MOVE AFTER THE BENGALS EXPRESSED FRUSTRATION WITH HOW NEGOTIATIONS WERE PLAYING OUT. IF WE DON’T MAKE THIS SWITCH AND GET SOME NEW EYES ON THE PROJECT IN A HURRY, I FEEL THAT WE’RE GOING TO JUST CONTINUE TO TREAD WATER AS WE SEEM TO HAVE BEEN DOING FOR QUITE A LONG TIME. DAVE ABRAMS IS NOW LEADING THE NEGOTIATIONS. THE BENGALS EXPRESSED CONCERNS THAT HE ALSO CONSULTS FOR THE CLEVELAND BROWNS. THE PROSECUTOR INSISTS THERE’S NO CONFLICT OF INTEREST. I KNOW SUMMER IS ON THE MIND FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE, AND WE’LL LEARN TODAY WHEN COMMUNITY POOLS WILL OPEN ACROSS GREATER CINCINNATI FOR THE SEASON. ONE IS ALREADY WELCOMING SWIMMERS. MAYBE TODAY IS NOT THE BEST DAY, BUT WLWT NEWS FIVE’S GIACOMO LUCA LIVE FOR US AT ZIEGLER POOL, WHICH IS ONE OF THE FIRST TO OPEN THIS YEAR. GIACOMO. YEAH, THAT’S RIGHT KELLY, THE WAIT IS OVER SO YOU CAN GRAB YOUR FLOATIES AND CUE THE SUNSCREEN, BECAUSE THERE’S GOING TO BE A LOT OF OPTIONS AS SWIM SEASON STARTS TO RAMP UP. ZIEGLER POOL IS ALREADY OPEN, AND THEIR SOON TO BE MANY MORE OPTIONS ACROSS GREATER CINCINNATI. WE KNOW LATER TODAY WE’RE EXPECTED TO HEAR FROM THE CINCINNATI RECREATION COMMISSION THAT’S PLANNING TO RELEASE ITS HIGHLY ANTICIPATED SUMMER OPENING SCHEDULE TODAY. CRC SAYS IT PLANS TO OPEN NINE SPRAY GROUNDS AND 23 PUBLIC POOLS AS SOON AS NEXT WEEK. MEANWHILE, HERE AT ZIEGLER, THE POOL WILL OPEN DAILY FROM 7 A.M. FOR LAP SWIM AND 10 A.M. TO 6 P.M. FOR OPEN SWIMMING. RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAYS. WE’RE TOLD STAFFING IS NOT AN ISSUE THIS YEAR, AS IT HAS BEEN AT POOLS IN THE PAST. NOW, THEY SAY NOW IS A GOOD TIME TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF FREE SWIM LESSONS AND TO LOOK AHEAD TO THOSE SUMMER PROGRAMS, AT LEAST MONTHLY, THAT ARE FOCUSED ON TEENS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, SERVING TEENS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, GIVING THEM SOMETHING TO DO. WE HAVE A PROGRAM THAT WE WORK WITH. IT’S CALLED SATURDAY HOOPS, AND THAT ORGANIZATION USES OUR COURTS. AND THEN THEIR TEENS PLAY BASKETBALL, AND THEN THEY COME OVER AND THEY USE THE POOL AFTER THAT. THAT’S ON SATURDAY MORNINGS. NOW, WHEN YOU COME HERE TO ZIEGLER POOL, THEY ALSO OFFER FREE SUNSCREEN. SO YOU DON’T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THAT. DAILY RATES ARE FOUR BUCKS, AND YOU CAN ALSO GET THOSE SEASONAL PASSES. MEANWHILE, WE’RE EXPECTED TO HEAR ABOUT THOSE POOLS THAT ARE GOING TO OPEN UP FROM CRC. WE KNOW AT LEAST FIVE ARE PLANNING TO OPEN BY NEXT SATURDAY. WE’LL MAKE SURE TO KEEP YOU UPDATED ON THAT FULL SCHEDULE AS IT GETS RELEASED LATER TODAY. WE’RE LIVE
