EVENTUALLY MORE STORMS MOVING IN FOR THIS AFTERNOON. I’LL TRACK OUT THE TIMING AND THREATS THEY COULD BRING JUST AHEAD. AND A SURPRISING TWIST IN A CASE WE’VE BEEN LEADING THE WAY ON FOR MONTHS. WHAT HAPPENED IN JUVENILE COURT THIS MORNING AS A TEEN FACES CHARGES FOR THE ALLEGED ASSAULT OF HIS TEAMMATE, AND WE HAVE NEW DETAILS ABOUT A DEADLY SHOOTING IN HAMILTON COUNTY LAST NIGHT. WHAT WE’RE LEARNING ABOUT THE VICTIM AND THE SUSPECT NOW CHARGED WITH HIS MURDER. THIS IS WHY WLWT NEWS FIVE LEADING THE WAY FIRST AT NOON. IT IS A WEATHER IMPACT DAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US. I’M MEGAN MITCHELL, AND I’M STEVEN ALBRITTON MOSTLY CALM RIGHT NOW. METEOROLOGIST ADAM BURNISTON IS HERE. YOU’RE KEEPING AN EYE ON THE SYSTEM. THINGS HAVE SHIFTED A LITTLE BIT, BUT WE STILL HAVE TO KEEP OUR EYE OUT. YEAH, WE HAD SOME RAIN THIS MORNING. EARLY PARTS OF THIS MORNING. THEN IT’S KIND OF GOTTEN A LITTLE NICER FOR THIS AFTERNOON. WE’VE HAD SOME SUNSHINE. HOWEVER, THAT’S NOT ALWAYS A GOOD CASE. WHENEVER WE’RE WATCHING FOR STORMS IN THE AFTERNOON. SO STILL KEEPING A CLOSE EYE ON THAT. SOME OF THE BIGGEST THREATS STILL A LITTLE BIT FURTHER TO OUR NORTH. BUT AS WE WILL LOOK ACROSS OUR REGION HERE SOON, WE COULD STILL SEE A FEW OF THOSE STORMS LATER THIS AFTERNOON. BUT IT’S A CLEAR SWEEP OF THE RADAR. AT LEAST HERE WITHIN THE METRO. MUCH OF SOUTHEAST INDIANA, NORTHERN KENTUCKY. AS WE EXPAND THAT VIEW JUST A LITTLE BIT, WE HEAD TO THE NORTHWEST INTO PARTS OF INDIANAPOLIS, HEADING UP TOWARDS MARION, MUNCIE, INDIANA. YOU SEE THOSE STORMS STARTING TO DEVELOP, AND THAT IS WITH THAT NEXT LINE THAT IS EVENTUALLY GOING TO BE MOVING DOWN INTO OUR REGION. BUT FOR THE TIME BEING, AS I MENTIONED, NOT TOO BAD OUT THERE. WE HAVE 70S RIGHT NOW ACROSS MUCH OF THE METRO, THOUGH, AND INTO PARTS OF NORTHERN KENTUCKY. 72 RIGHT NOW WITH THOSE WINDS, VERY GUSTY OUT THERE, WIND GUSTS 36, DRY RIDGE 39. IN CINCINNATI 39. ALSO THERE IN OWENTON. SO THAT WILL ALSO BE ANOTHER THREAT THAT WILL FACE THROUGHOUT TODAY, EVEN IF IT’S NOT SEVERE WINDS, JUST GUSTY WINDS. SO HERE’S A QUICK TIMELINE ON THAT FUTURECAST. AS I MENTIONED, WE’LL START TO SEE THAT NEXT LINE ARRIVE AROUND AROUND 2:00 OR SO AS IT MOVES INTO OUR REGION AND THROUGH OUR REGION, WE’LL SEE SOME OF THOSE SHOWERS AND STORMS. BUT AS I MENTIONED, I THINK THE BEST THREAT IS REALLY TO OUR NORTH ALONG I 70 UP TOWARDS COLOGNE WHERE WE’LL SEE THE BEST THREAT. BUT SOME OF THESE STORMS THAT MOVE INTO OUR REGION COULD STILL BE ON THE STRONG SIDE. WE ARE STILL UNDER A MARGINAL RISK FOR SEVERE STORMS IN PARTS OF GREATER CINCINNATI. SO AHEAD, IN MY FULL FORECAST, WE’RE GOING TO BE TALKING MORE ABOUT THIS HOUR BY HOUR WHERE THOSE THREATS ARE, WHAT KIND OF THREATS WE COULD BE FACED AND WHAT WE COULD EXPECT AS WE HEAD TOWARDS THE END OF THE WEEK AS THIS SYSTEM MOVES OUT. SO ALL OF THAT AND MORE COMING UP HERE IN A FEW MINUTES. STEPHEN. THANK YOU. ADAM. NOW AT NOON, NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN THE CASE OF A WYOMING HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT ACCUSED OF KIDNAPING A FORMER TEAMMATE. UNLIKE HIS TWO CO-DEFENDANTS, THE TEENAGE SUSPECT HAS DECIDED NOT TO TAKE A PLEA DEAL. AND WLWT NEWS FIVE’S TODD -- IS HERE WITH THE DETAILS ON A SURPRISE TWIST IN COURT TODAY, TODD IT WAS A SURPRISING DEVELOPMENT, AT LEAST TO ME, HAVING COVERED THIS CASE FOR A WHILE. IT’S A TWIST THAT’S LARGELY TIED TO DECISIONS THAT THOSE TWO OTHER TEENS MADE BACK IN FEBRUARY. THAT’S WHEN TWO OF THE THREE WYOMING HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WHO WERE ON THE JV BASEBALL TEAM PLEADED GUILTY IN A CASE THAT BEGAN A YEAR AGO. LAST SPRING, POLICE CHARGED STUDENTS WITH ABDUCTING AND ASSAULTING A TEAMMATE WHO INVESTIGATED, SAY HAS AUTISM AND ADHD. AT THE TIME, HAMILTON COUNTY PROSECUTOR MELISSA POWERS SAID AS A MOM, THE INCIDENT THAT UNFOLDED IN A LOCKER ROOM WOULD BE YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE. WELL, TWO MONTHS AGO, TWO OF THE ACCUSED STUDENTS TOOK PLEA DEALS, WITH EACH ADMITTING TO ABDUCTION AND HAZING CHARGES. ONE OF THE BOYS WAS ALSO ACCUSED OF RAPING THE VICTIM, BUT THAT CHARGE WAS AMENDED TO FELONY ASSAULT. TODAY, A PROSECUTOR SAID A PLEA DEAL WAS OFFERED TO THE THIRD STUDENT, BUT ATTORNEY CLYDE BENNETT, WHO’S REPRESENTING THE TEENS, SAID NO DICE. IT’S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT AT THIS TIME THAT OFFER HAS NOT BEEN ACCEPTED. THERE IS NO RESOLUTION. SO WE’RE ASKING FOR TRIAL DEFENSE COUNSEL. THAT’S CORRECT, YOUR HONOR. I’M ACQUAINTED WITH THE EVIDENCE NOW, COMPARED TO THE LAST TIME I WAS BEFORE YOUR HONOR. AND MY CLIENT WISHES TO PROCEED TO TRIAL, IT WAS A BRIEF HEARING THIS MORNING. THE TRIAL FOR THE STUDENT AT THE CENTER OF TODAY’S HEARING IS SET TO BEGIN IN EARLY JUNE. SENTENCING FOR THOSE TWO TEENS WHO PLEADED GUILTY IS SET FOR ONE WEEK FROM TODAY. TODD -- WLWT NEWS FIVE. ALL RIGHT, TODD, AND THANK YOU. DEVELOPING AT NOON ON WLWT, A GROUND STOP FOR ALL ALASKA AIRLINES FLIGHTS THIS MORNING HAS JUST BEEN LIFTED WITHIN THE LAST 20 MINUTES. THIS GROUNDING STEMMED FROM AN APPARENT SOFTWARE PROBLEM WITH THE AIRLINE’S COMPUTER SYSTEMS THAT CALCULATE THE PLANE’S WEIGHT AND BALANCE FLIGHTS HAVE SINCE BEGUN BEING RELEASED, BUT THE AIRLINE ANTICIPATES SOME RESIDUAL DELAYS. TRAVELERS CAN CHECK THE STATUS OF THEIR FLIGHT TO SEE IF IT HAS BEEN IMPACTED ON ALASKA AIR’S WEBSITE OR ON THE ALASKA APP BEFORE GOING TO THE AIRPORT. HAMILTON COUNTY DEPUTIES SHARING NEW INFORMATION ABOUT A DEADLY SHOOTING LAST NIGHT. THE SHERIFF’S OFFICE IDENTIFYING THE VICTIM AS 40 YEAR-OLD THEODORE JOHN BLOCK AND NOW 24 YEAR-OLD COLE ANTHONY HORNSBY IS BEING CHARGED WITH HIS MURDER. HORNSBY MAKING HIS FIRST COURT APPEARANCE THIS MORNING. THE ALLEGED SHOOTING HAPPENED IN WHITEWATER TOWNSHIP OFF OF KILBY ROAD, AND POLICE RESPONDED TO CALLS OF SHOTS FIRED AROUND 6 P.M. WHEN OFFICERS ARRIVED TO THE SCENE, THEY FOUND BLOCK DEAD AND PROSECUTORS AND DETECTIVES SAY THAT HORNSBY WAS STILL THERE. THE DEFENDANT WAS FOUND AT THE SCENE STANDING OVER THE BODY, STILL IN POSSESSION OF THE FIREARM. IS THAT CORRECT? CORRECT, DETECTIVE. CORRECT. THANK YOU. AND THIS IS IDENTIFIED HIM AS THE SHOOTER.

INSIDE, THE DRIVER WAS FOUND SUFFERING FROM A GUNSHOT WOUND IN HIS NECK. THAT VICTIM DID PASS AWAY AT THE SCENE. OFFICERS HAVEN’T ANNOUNCED ANY ARRESTS YET, BUT THEY DO SAY THEY’LL PROVIDE AN UPDATE THIS AFTERNOON. ANYBODY WITH INFORMATION IS ASKED TO CALL MIDDLETOWN POLICE. THE BUTLER COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE TELLS US A JUVENILE SHOWED UP AT BETHESDA NORTH HOSPITAL LATE LAST NIGHT AFTER BEING SHOT. WE’RE TOLD THAT YOUNG PERSON IS AWAKE. THEY ARE BREATHING, BUT NO OTHER DETAILS ON ANY INJURIES. WE ARE WORKING RIGHT NOW TO LEARN WHERE IN BUTLER COUNTY, THIS POTENTIALLY HAPPENED AND WHAT LED UP TO THE SHOOTING. YOU KNOW, ALSO NEW ON WLWT, TWO PEOPLE WERE SENT TO THE HOSPITAL WHEN A RUMPKE TRUCK COLLIDED WITH A SEDAN. THIS MORNING. THIS HAPPENED ON VINE STREET IN SAINT BERNARD JUST BEFORE EIGHT. AND RUMPKE TELLS US THEIR TRUCK DRIVER WAS NOT INJURED. BUT AT LEAST ONE PERSON WAS RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL AFTER POLICE SAY THEY WERE HIT BY A TRAIN LAST NIGHT. NOW, THIS STORY HAPPENING IN TRENTON COMMUNITY PARK IN BUTLER COUNTY, WE’RE TOLD AN ATV WAS INVOLVED IN THE CRASH AND A VIEWER SENT US THESE PICTURES IN THEM. YOU CAN REALLY SEE THAT MANGLED ATV RIGHT THERE AT THE FRONT OF THE TRAIN. WE KNOW A MEDICAL HELICOPTER WAS CALLED IN TO TAKE THAT PATIENT TO THE HOSPITAL. STILL NOT CLEAR HOW SERIOUS THE
