Erlanger Fire/EMS makes history with department’s first all-female crew

LEADING THE WAY. GOOD MORNING. IT’S 6:00 THIS SUNDAY MORNING, AND I’M TIFFANY HERE WITH METEOROLOGIST ERICA COLLURA. I LOVED THE SUNSHINE YESTERDAY AFTERNOON. THAT WAS FANTASTIC. AND TODAY WE’RE GOING TO HAVE THE WARMER TEMPERATURES, PLUS THE SUN, PLUS THE SUNSHINE. YES. SO WE ARE GOING TO WARM UP TO LIKE, TYPICAL LATE FEBRUARY STANDARDS. SO THIS IS WHAT IT SHOULD FEEL LIKE WHEN WE’RE GETTING INTO THE LIKE THE LAST WEEK OF FEBRUARY. BUT WE GO ABOVE AND BEYOND THAT AND WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO CLIMB ABOVE AVERAGE INTO THIS WEEK, AND IT’S GOING TO FEEL MORE SPRING LIKE. WHICH METEOROLOGICAL SPRING STARTS MARCH 1ST. SO TIMING OUT PRETTY WELL. YES, EXACTLY. SO WE ARE GOING TO SEE A NICE LITTLE WARM UP THIS WEEK. TEMPERATURES THOUGH THIS MORNING. STARTING OFF A LITTLE ON THE CHILLY SIDE STILL, BUT BETTER THAN YESTERDAY. AND WE’LL CONTINUE TO SEE THOSE TEMPERATURES WARM INTO THE 40S THIS AFTERNOON. SO WE STILL HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A WIND CHILL FACTOR OUT THERE. AND SOME OF US ARE A LITTLE BIT COLDER, LIKE HAMILTON AT 17. BUT MOST OF US IN THOSE LOWER 20S, 20 IN WILMINGTON AND HILLSBORO, MAYSVILLE, YOU’RE AT 23 DEGREES. IT’S 23 IN DILLSBORO AND 24 IN BROOKVILLE. AND WE’RE SITTING AT 23 RIGHT NOW IN CINCINNATI. SO WE’LL TAKE THOSE LOWER 20S TO MID 20S, GET TO ABOUT 26 BY NINE THIS MORNING, 37 BY NOON. AND WE’RE TOPPING OUT IN THOSE LOW TO MID 40S THIS AFTERNOON. I WOULD DRESS FOR THE TEENS AND 20S. IF YOU’RE HEADED OUT THIS MORNING FOR ANYTHING. BY THE AFTERNOON WE’LL SEE SOME IMPROVEMENTS AS WE HEAD TOWARD AVERAGE. NOW WE CONTINUE TO WARM OVER THE COMING DAYS, AND AVERAGE HIGHS ARE AROUND 46, SO WE ARE ABOVE AVERAGE. MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AS WE CONTINUE TO SEE TEMPERATURES CLIMB INTO THE 50S COMING UP IN MY FULL FORECAST, I WANT TO TALK ABOUT OUR CHANCES FOR RAIN BECAUSE WE DO HAVE A FEW OF THEM THIS COMING WORKWEEK. TIFFANY. ERICA. THANK YOU. DEVELOPING OUT OF PENNSYLVANIA, A MASS SHOOTING AT A HOSPITAL LEFT A POLICE OFFICER DEAD AND MULTIPLE OTHER PEOPLE WOUNDED. THE SHOOTER IS ALSO DEAD. NOW, THIS HAPPENED IN YORK, WHICH IS TWO HOURS WEST OF PHILADELPHIA. OFFICIALS SAY THAT A MAN ENTERED THE HOSPITAL WITH A HANDGUN AND ZIP TIES, AND HELD HOSPITAL STAFF HOSTAGE. THAT IS WHEN THE FIRST ROUND OF GUNFIRE BROKE OUT, HITTING A DOCTOR, A NURSE AND A CUSTODIAN. WHEN LOCAL POLICE GOT THERE, THE SUSPECT WAS HOLDING A STAFF MEMBER AT GUNPOINT, AND HE THEN BEGAN TO SHOOT AT OFFICERS, RESULTING IN THREE OFFICERS GETTING HIT, INCLUDING OFFICER ANDREW DUARTE, WHO LATER DIED. OFFICERS RETURNED FIRE, KILLING THAT SUSPECT. TONIGHT WE PRAY FOR THIS COMMUNITY AND ESPECIALLY FOR THE DUARTE FAMILY. A LIFE CUT SHORT BUT A LIFE OF SERVICE AND MEANING AND PURPOSE. AND THE SURVIVING VICTIMS ARE REPORTED TO BE IN STABLE CONDITION. MEANWHILE, IN LOUISVILLE, THE SEARCH CONTINUES FOR THE SUSPECTS RESPONSIBLE FOR FRIDAY’S SHOOTING OUTSIDE OF A DMV BRANCH OFFICE. DON’T THINK THAT YOU WOULD BE OUT ANYWHERE AND IT COULD HAPPEN AROUND YOU OR ANYTHING. AND IT’S JUST IT’S SCARED ME. IT WAS IT’S VERY SCARY. POLICE SAY 18 YEAR OLD LESLIE HARBIN JUNIOR DIED AT THE SCENE. 29 YEAR OLD RAZA VALDEZ AND 33 YEAR OLD ANTOINETTE CHILLERS BOTH DIED AT THE HOSPITAL. NOW, WHEN THE SHOOTING HAPPENED AROUND NOON ON FRIDAY, THE AREA WAS PACKED WITH PEOPLE WAITING IN LINE. ONE WITNESS SAYS THAT HE HAD A BAD FEELING WHILE WAITING, AND THEN WENT TO GO SIT IN HIS CAR, AND MINUTES LATER HE SAW TWO PEOPLE IN MASKS COMING TOWARD THAT. DMV CAME FROM AROUND THE CORNER AND THEN WALKED UP TO THE GUY THAT WAS LAYING ON THE GROUND AND SHOT HIM IN THE STOMACH AND THE CHEST, PROBABLY ABOUT SEVEN TIMES. I JUST DIDN’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY OR WHAT TO DO. I JUST STAYED IN MY CAR AND JUST WATCH THE WHOLE THING UNFOLD RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES. BUT EVERYONE ELSE RAN INTO THE BUILDING. PEOPLE WERE DUCKING BEHIND CARS. PEOPLE SCREAMING, KIDS CRYING. WITNESSES TOLD POLICE THAT THEY SAW MORE THAN ONE PERSON GET AWAY IN A CAR. WELL, DEVELOPING THIS MORNING, DEA ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK. THE UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI ANNOUNCING THAT IT IS CUTTING DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION PROGRAMS TO COMPLY WITH THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION. WLWT NEWS FIVE’S RICHARD CHILES WILL JOIN US LIVE FROM CAMPUS WITH DETAILS ON THIS DECISION IN JUST A MOMENT. NOW, PRESIDENT TRUMP IS TELLING SCHOOLS TO FALL IN LINE OR TO RISK LOSING FEDERAL MONEY. NOW THAT EXECUTIVE ORDER CURRENTLY BLOCKED BY A FEDERAL JUDGE. BUT THE OHIO LEGISLATURE IS FAST TRACKING A SIMILAR BILL BECAUSE THE UNIVERSITY WANTS TO KEEP RECEIVING STATE AND FEDERAL FUNDS. SO THEY WILL BE MAKING THE CUTS. NOW, THE UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI, ANNOUNCING ITS DECISION WITH A STATEMENT THAT READS IN PART, GIVEN THIS NEW LANDSCAPE, OHIO AND PUBLIC AND FEDERALLY SUPPORTED INSTITUTIONS LIKE OURS HAVE LITTLE CHOICE BUT TO FOLLOW THE LAWS THAT GOVERN US. WLWT ALSO GOT A STATEMENT FROM THE HAMILTON COUNTY REPUBLICAN PARTY THAT SAYS PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS BEEN A VOCAL CRITIC OF DEI PROGRAMS, VIEWING THEM AS DISCRIMINATORY AND CONTRARY TO A MERIT BASED SOCIETY, ADDING THAT THE HAMILTON COUNTY REPUBLICAN PARTY FULLY SUPPORTS PRESIDENT TRUMP AND HIS EXECUTIVE ORDERS, INCLUDING THE REMOVAL OF DEI PROGRAMS, INCLUDING THOSE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI. MEANWHILE, CINCINNATI’S NAACP PRESIDENT, SAYING THAT THESE PROGRAMS LIFTED STUDENTS UP. IT’S SHOWN THAT PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO GRADUATE BECAUSE THEY HAVE THAT THAT HELPING HAND WITHIN THE INSTITUTION. WHEN YOU START TAKING AWAY THOSE THINGS AND START PULLING IT BACK, WHERE ARE THE SAFETY NETS FOR PEOPLE THAT DON’T HAVE THE ADVANTAGES THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE? NOW, THE UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI DID NOT EXPLICITLY SAY IF ANY JOBS ARE GOING TO GET CUT, BUT THEY SAY THEY’RE EVALUATING JOBS AND DUTIES RELATED TO DIE
