good Sunday afternoon. I'm Madison Rodgers and here's what's happening.
It's a search for answers in Vancouver after a festive
night ending in horror, an suv plowed into a crowd
at a Filipino community event. Canadian police says suspects in
(00:26):
custody and the death toll has risen.

There are now eleven confirmed fatalities. We believe dozens more
are injured, some seriously.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Interim Vancouver Police Chief Steve Ry says they've ruled out terrorism.
A suspect a thirty year old from Vancouver with a
history of mental health issues. This news does come on
the eve of election day in Canada. It's an election
that's largely centered around President Trump's policies and proposals, and
President Trump is just about to round out his first
(01:00):
one hundred days in office. CBS is Anthony Salvonto looks
at new polling asking how Americans feel about his time
in office.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
So far, Six and ten Americans say they believe the
president is doing what he promised to do in the campaign.
Three quarters of Americans say they believe he is making
major changes to how the US government works. Majority of
US think he's changing how the US economy works. Now,
whether or not they approve is something a different matter,
and that goes to focus perceived focus. There is a
(01:32):
large majority who continue to say that they believe the
administration is not focusing enough on efforts to lower prices.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
The future of tariffs is still largely unclear. ABC's Martha
Raddits swinging in.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
Donald Trump has said he's made two hundred deals. He
told Time magazine that in a recent interview.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
But we have seen absolutely.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
No evidence of that if that is happening, they have
not announced any deals. Not a single actual deal has
been announced. Meanwhile, business owners who are already feeling the
effects and this chaos isn't helping their business.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
On Truth Social today, the President claims the tariffs are
already creating massive numbers of jobs and could lead to
much lower income taxes. Days after a pair of bodies
were found in the woods in Salem, a man's facing
murder charges, and now one of those victims has been named.
The remains were found Wednesday near Walmart officials now identifying
(02:29):
forty one year old Andrew Ross Gumpel as one of
those victims. His last known address was in Arizona Police syndicate.
They are working to notify the family of the second victim.
On Thursday, thirty year old j Blodgett, a local man
ex experiencing homelessness. He was held without bail on two
counts of murder and he has pleaded not guilty. Looking
(02:53):
at the four day WBZ ACI weather forecasts, now, the
wind will calm down tonight, We'll see some rain around
three through the evening hours, but drying out the lows
around forty eight, and then Tomorrow is beautiful high seventy
four degrees or so for your Monday, with plenty of
sunshine up until higher around seventy eight. For Tuesday, maybe
(03:16):
even eighty. It will be breezy with times of sun
and clouds near seventy. Still very nice on Wednesday with
sunny skies. And right now we do have quite a
bit of rain, light rain out in western Mass that
is making its way closer to Boston. Will likely see
some of that within the next few hours. In central
(03:37):
and eastern Mass. At the moment, just a few scattered
showers in Boston. It is gusty with thirty forty mile
an hour winds. It's fifty five degrees at four oh six.

history like Athens, and who can have very strong copenas
on activities together.
