Hello and thanks for being with us on this Saturday morning.
It's eleven o'clock. I'm Sherry Small. Here's what's happening. A
State trooper is in the hospital after being hit with
a moped in Revere last night. Stinkily say it happened
while authorities for multiple communities responded to a crowd of
people on Thornton Street. Please say that the trooper suffered
(00:31):
non life threatening injuries when a moped drove right through
the crowd. A suspect is under arrest, facing charges including
assault with a dangerous weapon. And this is the second
time a state trooper has been heart in Revere in

have been reunited with their children, others continue to wait
for answers.

And the situation in the Texas Hill Country likely to
get worse with more rain in the forecast. We get
more on that from ABC meteorologists Cheryl Scott.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
More flooding expected throughout the morning into the afternoon, just
catastrophic damage in this region. More rain on the way,
and that's why we do have alerts up in effect
for parts of central Texas. We have that flash flood
emergency which has been issued for parts of Travis and
Burnet calt throughout the morning with an additional five to
ten inches of rainfall in this area, so more flash
flooding and destructive flooding will be a concern throughout the

millions of Americans who hit the road for the Fourth

drugs for state employees. Also cut was a fund to
expand mass health nursing home rates, and the governor also
filed a bill that would give her office the authority
to make more spending cuts during the fiscal year. All Right,
