Lots of tears were shed in one New Jersey town
last night, Riders dodge bullets outside of Bronx subway station.
There was another depth connected to that ice detention center.
In Newark, dogs viciously attack their owner. On Long Island,

celebrating birthdays there. All right, let's get into it. At
five oh four, we are gonna be under this heat

(01:29):
advisory for the next one I guess forty eight hours.
It's gonna be awfully out. It's gonna feel like it
was yesterday. Man, it was rough out there, a muggy
steamy expected to be in the nineties. The humidity, of course,
makes it a whole lot worse. Best sake, can what
else are you gonna do?

Speaker 5 (01:45):
Gotta come to work?

Speaker 3 (01:46):
What are you gonna do?

Speaker 6 (01:47):
Is mother nature?

Speaker 3 (01:48):
Nothing you can do about it.

Speaker 7 (01:49):
Water and lots and lots of sunscreen.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
So where your eyes are burning? Te I about some water.
I'm just trying to survive. Out here is about to
get real hot. Yeah, those were people yesterday. It is summer,
so we shouldn't be surprised that is hot. Mayor Mom
Donnie says the city's mobilizing every resource they have. They'll
opened hundreds of clothing centers yesterday. They'll be open all weekend,
clearing catch basins too, ahead of what could be some

(02:13):
intense thunderstorms and we get the humidity. They can be intense,
and they may be this afternoon through Saturday. Nive five
oh five. Let's go over to New Jersey, where the
grief was just everywhere last night. Boy had a tough
time watching these videos this morning. For those two ten
year olds who drowned last week in the Passaic River.
Their family spoke out at a vigil about their unthinkable

(02:36):
losses last night ahead of the funerals which are going
to take place this weekend. Million Doulah's grandmother says, the
sadness is overwhelming for her family and their close friends.

Speaker 8 (02:46):
It's is something that to carry with us for the
rest of our lives.

Speaker 9 (02:51):
I've been doing a lot of things in my life.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
Alive this storm right here.

Speaker 9 (02:58):
Wish anyone in this world.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
What's it life of a family? So it was three kids.
If you hadn't followed this store, you were on the
banks of the Passaic last week. They were walking on
this wooden pier and apparently they didn't realize that the
water that if they went into the water on this pier,
that it immediately went deep, that it was not shallow,
and the three fell in. So you had a Million, Dollah,

(03:33):
Mikey Klink and their Mikey's sister who fell into the water.
It was Mikey and Million who did not make it
out of the water, but Mikey was able to push
his sister to shore right before he went under us.
She survived. Here was Mikey's mom at this vigil last night.
I'm amazed that these moms were even able to speak.

Speaker 10 (03:53):
Mikey and I were very close. She's a mom's boy.
He's very giving and humble and loved to help others.
And that's how I live my life. And he'll be remembered.
A Million was such a set girl. She was best
friends with my daughter. She came by alive and the

(04:13):
three family, even mike you say, with the girls and
they left.

Speaker 11 (04:18):
It was just contagious.

Speaker 12 (04:19):
Million always made.

Speaker 7 (04:20):
Me smiled as heart.

Speaker 13 (04:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
So they were pulled in by a current taken from
their families. All of these families are from Garfield and
so last night they held this vigil in Garfield. Here
is the Mayor of Garfield. I mean this has been
tough on everybody.

Speaker 4 (04:35):
In the past week. Of course, city has experienced one
of the darkest, most heartbreaking boards that any city, any parent,
or any family. I can imagine that.

Speaker 3 (04:51):
No family should have to go through with this, and
now you have two families. Mikey will be laid to
rest on Saturday. Million We'll be laid to rest on Sunday.
WABC News Time five oh nine. Imagine you're just trying
to get home from work yesterday about six o'clock. This
is in the Bronx right outside the West Farm Square

(05:12):
e Tremont subway station. A bullets fly. This is about
six o'clock. I mean, it's the height of the rush hour.
Everybody's running for cover.

Speaker 11 (05:21):
You'll say, I never really feel say very concerning, very
concerning this neighborhood.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
Life is precious.

Speaker 14 (05:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (05:28):
So two men were hit by the bullets. A twenty
year old, a thirty one year old. So that twenty
year old has a gunshot, won't do his leg. Thirty
one year old was shot in the buttocks. Unclear if
these two were innocent bystanders or the intended target of
the gunmen.

Speaker 11 (05:43):
I saw there was just a flood of ambulance and
cops coming this way. When I cross this way, there
was just a lot of activity happening with ambu listen cops.

Speaker 3 (05:53):
The cops rushed out. Officers quickly blocked off the area
with crime scene tape as they search for evidence. No
sign of the government, no motive for the gunfire. Five ten,
there was a primary in Tennessee yesterday for governor. NBC
News projects that Senator Marsha Blackburn has won the Republican
primary for governor in Tennessee. She gave a speech late

(06:16):
last night outlining her priorities for Tennessee.

Speaker 5 (06:19):
We need safe communities. You want to make certain we
support law enforcement, that we're cracking down on prime, that
we're treating criminals like criminals and law enforcement like the
heroes that they are.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
You know, back in the days when I worked with Heraldo,
I got to know her very well. She was a
frequent guest, you know, very fun person to hang out with.
She defeats Congressman John Rose and State Representative Mani Fritz,
all were running to replace the term limited current governor.
Who's building's Republicans together.

Speaker 5 (06:52):
We are going to be the freest state in the
United States, and together we will make certain that our
Tennessee remains the envy of the nation.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
So President Trump is a long time of Blackburn, but
he did not back anybody in this race, no endorsement. Meanwhile,
Jerry Green, she's projected to have won the Democratic primary
for governor down to Tennessee five to eleven. Over to
the White House, where President Trump was signing executive orders
yesterday to restrict birthright citizenship and ban what he calls

(07:27):
birth tourism. The President says the Fourteenth Amendment applies to
children of slaves and that the notion that notion is
long outdated.

Speaker 15 (07:35):
I think people are building businesses around birthright citizenship. That's
out that we were supposed to work at a disgrace.
They're buying their way in, and we're not going to
let it happen.

Speaker 3 (07:44):
The order restricts birthright citizenship involving children of foreign diplomatic staff,
children of people classified as alien enemies, and children born
in US territory.

Speaker 15 (07:55):
Had a very unfortunate decision in the Supreme Court concerning
birthright was close, but a very very unfortunate decision. So
we're making adjustments because it's very unfair. This was done
for a different reason. This was done right after the
Civil War. This was for the babies of slaves, and

(08:17):
what's happening now people are building businesses around it.

Speaker 3 (08:21):
The order bans citizenship to children born of mothers who
enter the US for the sole purpose of having a
child here. Both orders will no doubt be challenged by
the after the Supreme Court struck down the President's attempt
to end automatic birthright citizenship to children of non citizens
five point twelve. Well, we're talking about type of thing.
Ice agents apparently making between twenty and forty arrests at

(08:46):
airports across the country every day, and they're starting to
see some resistance now from the public and from some
of the airlines news nations. Nancy lou has more.

Speaker 16 (08:54):
There have been dozens of ice incidents across the country
in recent weeks, many documents by onlookers. On July twenty fifth,
a Southwest agent prevented ized from boarding a flight from
Dallas to Orlando. The gate agent would not allow boarding
access without a judicial warrant signed by a judge. Workers
also prevented law enforcement from viewing their computer screens as passengers.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
Boarded Southwest as they have a long standing policy to
ensure appropriate legal documentation. Under federal immigration laws, those who
overstay their visas are considered immediately deportable. Five thirteen Did
you see the Senate held this vote to hold doctor
Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress. It was the Senate
Homeland Security Committee Chair Ran Paul, who, the Senator from Kentucky,

(09:41):
argued that Fauci should have answered their questions about COVID
last week during that hearing that lots of you probably
saw because of the full pardon that Fauci had been
given by President Biden. So he said they should have
been able to answer the questions.

Speaker 17 (09:55):
For that reason, doctor Fauci faced no risk of federal prosecution.
All he had to do is tell the truth more
than one hundred times, though he refused.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
So the vote by the committee comes after the former
White House Health Advisor in vote the Fifth Amendment more
than one hundred times in that hearing.

Speaker 17 (10:13):
The chair rule that doctor Fauci's assertion of the Fifth
Amendment privilege was unsupported in light of the pardon and
the testimony he offered. In his opening statement, the chair
directed Anthony Faucci to answer, he refused again.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
Now, the vote on this committee was a long party lines,
eight to seven.

Speaker 12 (10:31):
Center Marino, I'll be half of the millions of people
harmed by Anthony Fauci resigningly.

Speaker 7 (10:35):
Yes, Center, ERNs Center, Moody, Sener, Peters Center, Hassen.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
Yeah, but it was still eight to seven. Fauci refused
to answer questions, saying he thinks the committee chair, Republican
Senator Rampaul, wants to see him behind bars and is
obsessed with him. Paul sent the referral a formal request
to consider criminal charges to bypass the Senate to the
district attorney in Washington. So they are going to refer

(11:04):
the charges there. Now, what happens from there, we'll have
to wait and see. In a moment, we'll go overseas
where there are hopes of some sort of deal between
the US and Iran and maybe an end to this
it seems to be a never ending war. We'll get
into that in just a moment. For first five to fifteen,
let's head over to the seventy seven w ABC Sports

(11:24):
Best Desk rather Happy Friday, good more than justin Ellis
Sports Best What Yeah Desk FESK whatever whatever works for you.

Speaker 13 (11:31):
Listen, it's a Friday normally. Yes, you could literally just
be tibberish to me and we'd be happy.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
We'd be all right, yeah, right.

Speaker 13 (11:39):
We'll start out here in Cleveland, Marcus Simeon and Luis
Torrens went deep and second and in the latter two
run shop that put New York ahead and route to
a thirteen to six Mets win over the Indians to
complete the three games sweeper to Carson Benge had it
an RBA triple in the third. In Francisco, Lindor also
home at for New York at three run shot at
the seventh bench. Simeon and Luis Robert Junior each had
three hits and Torrens drove in three runs. It was

(12:00):
the third series sweep for the Mets this season and
first on the road. Up next for him, they begin
a three game series at Pittsburgh to night. The lefty
Zech Thornton will get the start in a six forty
PM first pitch against the Pirates. As for the Yankees,
they'll walk home in the Nles deleting Atlanta Braves tonight,
falling on off k Yesterday, South Poly's Max Fried will
start against Atlanta's Chris Sale in the opener of a
three game weekend series. First pitch from the bronxis skible

(12:23):
for seven oh five pm. New York is now at
risk of falling out of second place in the Alias,
surging third place Boston Red Sox extending their winning streak
to eight games and their extra inning win.

Speaker 3 (12:34):
Over the Chicago White Sox.

Speaker 13 (12:36):
Boston now sits just a half game back from the
second place New York in the division, and the Yanks
sitting five games back of first place Tampa Bay. You've
got to look out before Boston. In the Hall of
Fame Game last night, kicking off pre season football action,
Panthers beat the Cardinals thirty three to thirty out in Canton, Ohio.
Other news out of the NFL, the Detroit Lions and

(12:57):
three time Pro Bowler Jamior Gibbs have agreed to contract
extension that makes him the highest paid running back in
NFL history. Him in Alliance reached agreement yesterday on a
three year, sixty seven and a half million dollars deal
that could be worth up to seventy five point seventy
five million dollars and includes fifty one and a half
million guaranteed. The record deal surpasses the extension B John

(13:17):
Robinson signed with the Atlanta Falcons earlier this week. Robinson's
extension is for three years and sixty seven point seventy
five a million could be worth up to seventy five
million dollars, including fifty one million dollars guaranteed at a
signing through. The Edge is out Robinson by half a
million dollars.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
That's pocket change.

Speaker 13 (13:36):
No more sure is for these NFL running backs at
this point. That is your sports and I'm justin Allack.
On seventy seven WABCA.

Speaker 3 (13:43):
WABC News Time five nineteen on the school overseas. Iran
is reportedly close to making an agreement on shipping in
the Strait of Horne Moves. So the US and Iran
are speaking, but not to each other. It's like trilateral talks. So,
corresponding to Nick Harper Sports, it comms as President Trump says,
a lot of progress has been made in reopening the

(14:04):
vital water WEP.

Speaker 18 (14:05):
Iran seems to be saying and what the Trump administration
seems to be saying are still at odds in terms
of the Iranian Amani agreement. This is all about creating
a security mechanism that would regulate which commercial vessels can
pass through the Strait of hor moves.

Speaker 3 (14:21):
Now the President pushing back on reports that the US
is running low on weapons due to the war with Iran.

Speaker 7 (14:27):
We got a late night social media post from the
President where he declared that America has massive amounts of
munitions ready for use, making clear that he believes that
the US is armed, production is surging and there's no
munition shortage. He also went on in this post to
threaten jail time for anyone responsible for leaking that information.
That information included in these reports multiple reports that point

(14:49):
to significant depletion of US air defense sockpiles during the
war with Iran, raising these questions about military readiness.

Speaker 3 (14:56):
Now, both Reuters and CNN have reported the US webs
and supplies are running low. What we know latest on
these negotiations that are taking place overseas. President Trump says
he expects the war on Iran to conclude. He said
pretty soon, those are his words, and Tehran can't go on,
he says much longer. The US, Iran, and Oman are approaching,

(15:17):
apparently a temporary deal that would reopen the Strait of
her moves, but the President not getting everything he wants
apparently in that deal, So I have to wait and
see if they actually can sign off on it. Five
point twenty one. Let's bring it back home out to
Washington State where those wildfires continue. Firefighters battling three destructive
fires in Spokane, Washington. They say they're making steady progress.

(15:41):
They are aided by what has been some cooler weather
over the last couple of days. Corresponding Morgan Chesky reports
the fires are now between five and fifteen percent contained.

Speaker 19 (15:50):
It's more or less a race to contain for two
key reasons. The National Weather Service says the next two
days in this area could bring temperatures approaching one hundred degrees,
and on Saturday, there could be a return of some
gusty winds. Those two factors combined could change the face
of this firefight.

Speaker 3 (16:07):
Meantime, the man suspected of starting one of those blazes,
which is called the Old Trails Fire, he was arraigned
in court yesterday. Apparently he had really thought this thing out.
Aaron Farranacci apparently admitted that he planned the crime for
two weeks. He researched when the weather would be best
for igniting this fire, meaning incredibly windy day and that's

(16:27):
when he started the fire, and he's facing a whole
host of charges. More from correspondent Morgan Cheski.

Speaker 19 (16:34):
Fire officials tell me that at this point they are
cautiously optimistic, having cut line around each of these three
fires that make up the Spokane Complex, and they say
that they're trying to slowly but surely move.

Speaker 3 (16:46):
In WABC News to five twenty two, let's head over
to Saint Louis, a fifteen year old boy caught on
camera going from home to home in East Saint Louis
dressed as a clown is facing murder charges.

Speaker 20 (16:58):
Now chilling videos shows the moment a teen wearing a
clown costume rang Laura Palmer's ring doorbell camera. It happened
just after nine pm Monday, as she was laying in
dead inside of her East Saint Louis home. An hour
later down the Streety Saint Louis police say they responded
to this bus stop to the intersection of seventy six
the State Streets to a report of a body in

(17:19):
the road. The Saint Clair County corn Is Offs identify
Batman as seventy eight year old John Allen of Saint Louis.

Speaker 3 (17:25):
That's correspondent Max Dinetti. Police say the teenager stabbed the
seventy eight year old Allen several times. Gas station mega
chain BUCkies. Have you been with? One of those? Suing
a convenience store in Ohio now. The company says the
Beaver's Mini Mart logo too closely resembles its own, and
they filed a trade mark infringement lawsuit against the store.

(17:48):
Ohio Governor Mike Dewan getting involved. He calls the lawsuit ridiculous,
noting the store is in Beaver Creek, after.

Speaker 14 (17:55):
All, you expect to find in Beaver Creek things named Beaver.
And I looked at the cartoon figure, and I don't
think anybody looks at that and thinks that's, Oh, that's
the Bucky Beaver of BUCkies. I don't think anybody thinks that,
So I think it's absurd.

Speaker 3 (18:11):
Beaver's Mini Mart has reported least been using its logo,
which is also a cartoon beaver, for years. As it
expands in more states. BUCkies has come under fire from
several lawsuits against mom and pop shops that it says
have logos that violate the chain's trademark. Now, have you
been to one of these BUCkies? My kids convinced me
to sort of swerve off the highway on one of

(18:31):
our roadchips to go to a BUCkies. I don't get
the appeal. That's just me. Five point twenty four. The
FAA has completed a preliminary review of that Tuesday incident
involving President Trump's helicopter and a commercial jet. Correspondent Garrett
Haig reports that Marine one was taking off from the
White House on Tuesday afternoon at the same time an

(18:54):
envoy airflight was taking off from Reagan National Airport, which
is not too far away.

Speaker 21 (19:00):
There was a quote momentary loss of separation, during which
controllers maintained contact with both aircraft, and that quote the
President was never in any danger.

Speaker 3 (19:10):
FAA policy requires all commercial traffic at Reagan National to
stop when the president helicopter leaves the White House. The
two aircraft reportedly came within a mile of each other.

Speaker 21 (19:21):
Trump arriving back from that trip last night on Marine one,
but his departure for that West Coast swing now drawing
headlines after a close encounter between Marine one and a
commercial airliner on Tuesday, The two taking off moments apart.

Speaker 3 (19:35):
The agency will continue the safety review determine if corrective
action is needed. WABC News Time five twenty five. What's
going on to Texas where Governor Greg Abbott is defending
his decision to press pause on the construction of new
AI data centers in Texas. You know, here in New York,
Governor Hochel has done the same thing. He says that

(19:56):
developers were ordered by the legislature to report how much
power they're using in their future power plants, and he
says he's not getting good information on that, and so
he's putting a pause on it.

Speaker 22 (20:07):
And less than ten percent of them pro out.

Speaker 6 (20:09):
Of that data.

Speaker 3 (20:09):
So he says the operator of the state's power grid
was basically forecasting in the dark about how much juice
these data centers need to operate. That's some of the
reasons there's been big pushback against that.

Speaker 22 (20:20):
Hurcott was going to be making a decision based upon
less than ten percent participation of information.

Speaker 3 (20:25):
Now, you may remember earlier this year, President Trump told
these AI data centers that they could create their own
power plants if they wanted to, and they're on board
with that, but in the meantime, they need juice from
the regular old power plants, and so the governor and
Governor Abbott wants more information on them.

Speaker 22 (20:41):
My job as governor, but also the laws passed by
the Littature require us to maintain a stable and reliable grid.

Speaker 3 (20:47):
Yeah, especially in a place like Texas where they need
AC five twenty six, Americans need to earn around one
hundred and ten thousand dollars a year to comfortably afford
a typical home for sale right now.

Speaker 23 (21:03):
That's according to a new Redfinn report that looked at
the annual income a household would need to purchase a
medium price home. In June twenty twenty six, the necessary
one hundred ten thousand dollars income is just zero point
five percent lower than last year's record high amount, while
Redfinn estimates the median US household earn nearly eighty eight

(21:25):
thousand dollars in June, up four percent from a year ago.

Out on Long Island, it's seventy five and clear and
mall wall over in New Jersey and seventy six in
clear right outside our midtown studios WABC News Time five

(23:05):
point forty. Let's sit over to Newark, New Jersey, where
New Jersey Congressman Rob Menendez says he learned of a
third death connected to Delaney Hall, the ICE detention center there,
and he says he only found out about it during
an unannounced oversight visit to that facility earlier this week.
The death is believed to have happened two weeks ago
when the detainee had a seizure during an intake there.

(23:28):
He was released from ICE custody on the spot, sent
to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. Now, ICE
is required to notify Congress and the public if someone
dies in their custody, but I guess technically here, according
to Ice anyway, this third death did not happen there.
Congressman Menendez has a lot of questions and.

Speaker 12 (23:45):
Their cussey is a particular way of thinking that ICE
has in terms of people that are in their custody.
But they can release them on a discretionary basis. Once
they do so, they're no longer responsible for even reporting
the death.

Speaker 3 (23:58):
Now, the Congressman was there investigating the death last weekend
of Edwin Lopez Cornejo. He says a family says that
he was not given the medications he needed, that he
had diabetes, he'd been transported from the facility and died
at the hospital, but family members that was last Saturday,
But family and members say they're convinced he actually died

(24:20):
at the ICE detention center long before he got to
the hospe.

Speaker 12 (24:23):
There's the information that ICE provides and then what I've
often found to be a separate reality that we hear
from the detained individuals, their families and advocates, and they
often don't line up. I personally choose to believe the
detained individuals their families rather than nice.

Speaker 3 (24:38):
Now, some cameras yesterday caught emergency medical crews responding to
two separate calls at Delaney Hall. In one case, a
patient taken away on a stretcher that was about twelve thirty.
An hour later, another ambulance arrived and transported a second patient.
That was enough for Senator Booker to take to the
Senate floor yesterday and call for the closure of the

(24:58):
Delaney I'm.

Speaker 24 (24:59):
Now asking for you animous consent to pass the Delaney
Hall Closure Act, which will close Delaney Hall within ninety days.
They're out of excuses, we are out of time. How
many more people should die?

Speaker 3 (25:11):
Sena did not take any action on that. I point
forty two. While we're in New Jersey, there's a number
of fair number of anti Semitic attacks in Jackson. That's
where Great Adventure is. They're investigating these multiple hate crimes there.
The township council president, his name is Mordy Bernstein. He
thinks the acts of hate are connected to Jackson's growing

(25:32):
Jewish population. He may have differences.

Speaker 21 (25:34):
We may pray it to different you know, pray differently,
we may dress differently.

Speaker 3 (25:36):
We're all human beings, were all Americans. So police have
identified seven people who were caught on surveillance video breaking
into a Jewish school, causing damage, writing anti Semitic slurs.
Then there were three other incidents of vandalism that involved
a local Jewish nonprofit there. Police do not believe it
was the same people involved the school vandalism as the
ones that were involved in those nonprofit incidents. So far,

(25:59):
they've made no Vay five point forty three. Just a
little further away from Jackson, animal control officers with the
Mammoth County SPCA responding to an unusual call after a
large snake was discovered in a freehold residence backyard. The
reptile identified as an eight foot long Burmese python that's

(26:20):
not something that's native to New Jersey. It had taken
sheltered beneath the floor of this man's shed. Here here's
how he describes how he found.

Speaker 11 (26:28):
So Leslie was actually watering these flowers wire.

Speaker 4 (26:32):
There's a hole down there now in the corner where
we think he crawled in.

Speaker 3 (26:37):
Yes, so he did crawl in, this big snake. The
rescue effort required assistance from a local contractor who helped
to remove floor boards in the sheds so that the
ASPCA the local animal control could safely access this huge snake.

Speaker 25 (26:50):
The homeowner sent us a video of what we were
actually dealing with, a wit, and when we all saw it,
our jaws kind of dropped a little, because that is
a Burmese python, which definitely does not belong out in
the wild in New Jersey.

Speaker 3 (27:01):
All right, So these trained animal control officers then carefully
remove the python from underneath the shed. They took precautions
to avoid injury to both the snake and the rescuer.

Speaker 25 (27:12):
I'd eaten a meal prior to going under there, so now,
due to the size of him, unfortunately, we couldn't just
pull him back out through the hole he came in,
so we had to dig around him a little bit
to free him up. Still couldn't tell exactly where his
head was.

Speaker 3 (27:27):
Now, after being evaluated, he was eventually pulled out. The
python was placed in a secure enclosure while officials worked
to find an appropriate long term home.

Speaker 25 (27:37):
We took some radiographs to see what it did eat
and that it wouldn't be detrimental to the animal, it
poses a risk to local wildlife and people's domestic health.

Speaker 3 (27:45):
Okay, so here's the interesting part. When they finally got
this snake out, they took an X ray of it
to determine why it had this big bulge in its stomach,
and they realized that it had eaten a large apossum.
That's pretty serious. Thank god, it did not eat any
local dogs or cats. Now the snake is in a
cage somewhere and they're trying to figure out who let
it loose. In a moment, we will head over up

(28:08):
to Harlem, where there is a desperate search going on
this morning. We'll give you a little more details on
that in just a moment, Verse five forty five. Let's

Seventy seven WABWABC News Time five forty nine. That's it
up to Harlem, where it's a desperate search for a
missing twenty year old who is autistic of their family,
hoping that someone has seen twenty year old Isaac Wilke.
They are posting pictures of them late yesterday near his
home in Harlem. He was last seen leaving his house

(30:44):
on Monday about seven pm, but there was a possible
sighting of him on Thursday morning on a bus on
the Upper east Side. So this will costs making the
family just frantic. They have no idea where he could be,
and then of course the sightings make them even more worse.

Speaker 8 (30:57):
I am very concerned about his mental state. He hasn't eaten,
he hasn't drank that I know of, and most of all,
he is not on his medication and it is long overdue.

Speaker 17 (31:08):
Now.

Speaker 3 (31:08):
Wilkie is verbal, but they say likely in distress, and
they say if you see them, call the cops so
they can bring them back home to their house in Harlem.
Point fifty a new series of lawsuits being filed in
connection with last summer's legionnaire's outbreak in Harlem. High profile
attorney Benjamin Krump representing the victims and their families seeking
monetary damages in the wrongful death lawsuits.

Speaker 26 (31:31):
These entities that we are suing here today all had
a responsibility to ensure that the cooling towers and water
systems did not harbor legion Niella bacteria.

Speaker 3 (31:43):
Now, of course we had the same outbreak this summer
on the Upper east Side. The lawsuits in this case
they name the health and hospitals and maintenance contractors as defenders.

Speaker 11 (31:52):
It's very hard because I have to deal with it,
and you know I'm a single mother.

Speaker 19 (31:57):
Now.

Speaker 3 (31:57):
Yes, so high profile attorney Benjamin and crumpses that they
they're looking for big time money.

Speaker 26 (32:04):
They are failures and their negligence is the reason our
clients have suffered so greatly, many of whom died.

Speaker 3 (32:14):
Now they allege negligence and maintenance of those cooling towers
sounds familiar that contained Legionella bacteria connected to an outbreak
that led to seven deaths in over one hundred others
in Harlem getting sick Last summer, a seventy five year
old Long Island woman in the hospital after she was
viciously attacked by her own two dogs on the front

(32:36):
lawn of her home in East Valley Avenue in Valley Stream.
Neighbors who witnessed the attack describe a violen scene where
the dog first had lunged at a mailman, and this
woman tried to get the dogs off the mailman and
then the dogs turned on her. And everybody who saw this,
she can imagine, feels and remain shaken by what they saw.

Speaker 11 (32:58):
Started with a mailman and they went after the mailman,
and then she was trying to get the mail from
the milman, and then they went after her.

Speaker 3 (33:09):
That poor senior citizen. She was bitten numerous times, taken
to the hospital where she's reported to be in stable condition, to.

Speaker 11 (33:17):
Water at the dogs trying to distract them, and she hurt.

Speaker 3 (33:22):
The close were all torn up and it was terrible
mean neighbors say the woman was first knocked to the ground.
She was mauled by these dogs. They would not let go.
They tried to intervene by hitting the dog with the broom,
yelling at these dogs. Eventually, these pit bull mixes eventually
left that woman on the ground. One went into the
backyard while the other was seen on the front stoop,

(33:45):
and that says police raced to.

Speaker 11 (33:47):
Water at the dogs, trying to distract them, and she hurt.

Speaker 3 (33:52):
The close were all torn up and it was terrible.
Of the animals were removed from the property by the
town of Hempstead and Will Control sources telling us that
the mail carrier was doing well and was upset by
the incident. Concerned about the woman's condition. You wanted to
see how she was doing. Now, it's not clear. They
didn't tell us whether he had been bitten or not
or just sort of pushed around by these dogs. Five

(34:13):
point fifty three while we're out on Long Island. Oh,
this is just creepy. A nineteen year old from Mastic
Beach is accused of sending a video of himself engaged
in a sex act with a dog to a person
he was chatting with on the dating app Grinder. Police
say after Zachary Carlyle sent that video of himself to

(34:34):
this Grinder user, the Grinder user called police suff at
count The SPA officials say the out of state recipient
immediately contacted authorities because he was horrified by this video.

Speaker 9 (34:45):
She was immediately shocked and disturbed and contacted.

Speaker 3 (34:50):
Us that same day. Now the investigation gets bigger. Apparently
it led to the discovery of more than just the
alleged sexual misconduct with the dog. Authority say Carlyle was
also in the possession of child pornography. All that freaked
out neighbors. I'm alonged you have a little children. Yeah,
so yeah, that's not okay, No, it's not Carlisle facing

(35:11):
a twenty six countain diament.

Speaker 9 (35:13):
The dog maze was held at the Brookhaven Town Animal
Shelter and maybe as recently, about a month or so ago,
was released to a family member who does not reside
within the household.

Speaker 3 (35:27):
Yeah, just a weird story. Five point fifty four. Let's
go up to New Rochelle where friends, families, and fans
gathered there to say a final farewell to actor Vinnie
Pastor who This was held at the Church of the
Holy Family, where dozens of mourners came to pay their
respects to the beloved Sopranos store. Pastore was born in Pastor,

(35:49):
who was born in City Island raised in New Rochelle,
was best known for playing that mobster on The Sopranos
on the TV series Stevie van Zett, who was on
The Sopranos as well. He showed up at the funeral yesterday.

Speaker 2 (36:02):
One of a kind, you know, one of a kind,
So we're going to miss him a lot.

Speaker 27 (36:05):
I think it'd be the scariest gangster you've ever seen
on screen, an the warmest, kindest man you know in
real life, and.

Speaker 3 (36:11):
As mourners followed his casket out of the church, many
reflecting not only on his acting career, but that he
was just a kind, everyday kind of guy. You'd want
to know. Benny was a great human being.

Speaker 28 (36:22):
You know what I loved about Vinny the most. Benny
didn't care about money, and nothing was about money to him.
He loved human beings, he loved people, he loved music,
hot the theater, and he wanted to help young people.

Speaker 3 (36:36):
Pastor died Saturday at his home in City Island. He
was eighty years old. And in a story that has
popped up on every one of my feeds, whether it
be TikTok or Instagram or Facebook. So we'll get to it.
So here it is. There is a restaurant on Point
Pleasant Beach on the boardwalk. It's called Joey Tomatoes. And

(36:56):
apparently a family showed up at Joey's Tomatoes last week
with a bunch of kids to order a whole bunch
of pizza pies and then they were gonna celebrate this
kid's birthday at the end of the meal. So they
went up to the owners of Joey Tomatoes and they said, hey,
can we have a knife to cut the cake. And
that's when this restaurant owner went the little nuts on them,

(37:18):
telling them that no, they couldn't have a knife for
the cake because Joey's Tomatoes is not a birthday joined.
It's a pizza parlors.

Speaker 21 (37:27):
It's a five year old birthday part it's a five
year old birthday cart day.

Speaker 3 (37:30):
You just want to cut a cake? I would say, yeah,
it's an appropriate Now, the family spent two hundred and
fifty bucks on pizzas and drinks at the restaurant to
celebrate this five year old's birthday, and they said, I
just wanted a knife to cut the cake, and then
they were gonna leave, but the owner of the restaurant said, no, no, no, no,

(37:51):
we need all these tables. You can't take them up
for hours and celebrating someone's birthday were not you know,
a birthday joint. So, uh, they didn't back down. They
put out a statement Joey Tomatoes yesterday saying, you know,
I think they probably should have said that this owner
should have handled this privately between you know, the family
and not gone crazy on them in front of all
the other diners. But they stuck by the fact that No,

(38:14):
they're not a birthday party celebration joint. They're a pizza parlor.
And that's why people should go to this place on
Point Pleasant Beach Boardwalk is to eat pizza's not to
celebrate birthday. So I don't know if it's gonna make
a difference in their bottom line. We'll have to watch
and wait and see over the next months and or
the rest of the summer. Anyway, five point fifty seven
the traffic transit on the sevenths. You hear about this story, Yeah,

(38:37):
there'll be a line out the door of Joey Tomatoes
because they're like been there forever, right, Yeah, don't even
worry about it. I mean that was they handled that poorly,
but you know what they'll be It'll be fine. Yeah,
I mean it's I think I actually kind of agree
with them, like the fact that you don't. It's not
a it's not what's the name of the pizza place,
I mean the birthday join. Everybody takes their kids too.
It is like cheese. It's not chuck e cheese.

Speaker 2 (38:58):
No, it's a piece of Oh, it's definitely not chuckie G.

Speaker 3 (39:01):
Yeah, So you know, go celebrate your brother, your birthday
at Chuck e Cheese and not the Pieza parlor, like, yeah,
it's a little strength or even like your crib you
want it? Well, I don't know. I was gonna never mind,
I was gonna say something stupid. You go to Martell's
across the way, but that's sort of a bark.

Speaker 6 (39:18):
