Speaker 1 (00:00):
I suppose it was right around twenty four hours ago,
nearly to the minute, when a woman was shot as
she was walking her I'm not sure the relation to
the child, but she was walking a child to a
school bus stop where just six days prior, at that
same school bus stop, there were shootings that took place
and unfortunately, just an awful I mean that alone is
(00:21):
a traumatic, awful experience that has been clearly an issue
here for quite some time, but at a school bus
stop of all places, and just this was highlighted and
it can never be highlighted, I think too much because
if you don't, if you've not been in that situation,
you just don't understand that you can be just around
that and exposed to gun violence and it can have
a traumatic experience on you, potentially for the rest of
(00:44):
your life. Everybody's different as far as how they handle it,
how they deal with it. So again, gun violence is
an issue in a lot of areas, regardless of who's
committing the crimes. But man, when it's children that are
either the victims of the perpetrator and these things are
taking place at a school bus stop, it's just it's
unfathomable and there's still no arrest been made. They do have,
(01:05):
there's pictures of the suspect that's out there, and I
hope that they can track this individual down sooner rather
than later. To make matters worse, there have been two
more murders since that took place twenty four hours ago
at the school bus stop. Last night at Let's see
this was I believe, Yeah, this was at the Klondike neighborhood.
(01:26):
Around eleven thirty there was a shooting three hundred block
of Middale Lane, where officers found a man shot. He
was taking to UL Hospital and later died. This is
where there was the suspect had barricaded himself inside an
apartment but then did end up surrendering and no other
injuries were reported, so they do have that suspect in custody.
But in Chickasaw, around nine pm, they were called to
(01:47):
the forty one hundred block of West Broadway near Cecial Avenue.
A woman found shot, taken to UL Hospital where she died.
No suspects have been identified at this point, so it's
just that's that, and I wouldn't I would hate to
be wrong here because I want to feel like this
is super rare. Maybe we have had a week quite
(02:09):
like this one before, but I was going to say
we haven't because you take into consideration two shootings at
a school bus stop and really a less than less
than a week of JCPS being back in school, one
that happened the first day of school, and then you'd
throw in what took place Friday with the family that
was they had the home invasion, the mother stabbed knife
(02:35):
to the neck of the daughter, kidnapped, taken to a
bank robbery, and then everything yesterday to go along with
these two shootings last night.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
It's just that's.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
It's. It feels like right now there's more of a
heightened awareness to this than than there really has ever
been as far as just okay, wow, I knew Louisville
was a violent city, and certainly it's been a real
emphasis from the mayor to try to try to correct
that as best as possible, and there are some numbers
that still support that there's been growth, there's been improvement,
which I don't think should be ignored.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
But it just, I don't know, I can feel it.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
It just seems as if those who maybe have been
able to kind of not ignore it, but just kind
of you know, live in their own world, being their
own bubble. It's not as easy now because it seems
to be so much, there's so much awareness to it
that you're thinking, Okay, wow, the Louisville has really really
fallen off in a bad way when it comes to
just these things happening way too often. Look, it happening
(03:28):
once is too often. But at the rate now, it
just seems like it's worse than ever. But again, I'm
sure there's numbers that would tell me that I'm wrong
when it comes to that. But here's a quick little
montage I put together of the Louisville leaders yesterday discussing
the situation, starting with Chief Humphrey and obviously Mayor Greenberg
and then doctor Yearwood is the new JCPS superintendent, as
they give us sort of just their initial reaction to
(03:49):
the devastating situation there at that school bus stop.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
We do have a description of a young black male
dressed in a red hoodie and black sweatpants. We will
be putting out still images as soon as possible, just
like in the shooting last week, we put out images
and we called on the community for help, and very
quickly we were able to identify and taking a shooter
from that incident. That is exactly what we need today.
(04:14):
When we put out these images, we are asking for
the community's help and getting this person into custody off
the street. Obviously, this person presents a clear and definitive
danger to the community, and we want to make sure
that he is taken into custody as soon as possible
and we can keep our family safe. Thank you.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
And my final emotion that I've had all day is
I'm angry. I'm angry at the individual who killed this
woman today. I'm angry at the two people who shot
at the same bus stop last week. I'm angry that
people still do this in twenty twenty five in our
city at bus stops, and that we keep having the
same conversations over and over again as a city, as
(04:54):
a state, that we keep hearing expressions of thoughts and
prayers for victims. Friend's anger is not going to solve this.
As angry as I am, I know that we all
know that. So let's think about what we can do.
Where do we go from here? Because I firmly believe
that every person in this city, a city with hundreds
(05:18):
of thousands of good and loving and caring people can
and want to do more.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
We the school system can provide education, we can provide resources,
we can provide support, but it is the home where
the foundation of responsibility, accountability and respect for life is built.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Parents must be parents.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
This means active engagement, knowing where your children are, what
are they doing, who are they with. It means teaching
them the value, the value of life, the consequences of
their actions, and the importance of resolving conflict without violence.
We cannot outsource the fundamental duties of raising children. We
(06:06):
cannot outsource that.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
It's crazy to say that out loud and know that
it needs to be said, but yes, you couldnot outsource
the fundamental aspect of parenting. I mean, I think we're
too far gone when it comes to that, right, But hey,
I thought it was maybe it was maybe it was
just an expectation, but I thought having doctor Yarwood there
(06:29):
was was good. All right, let's get to a quick
time out. We'll come back with an update on traffic
and weather. Also, Roy and Neil said to join us
coming up here at eight thirty, So don't go anywhere.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
It's news.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Ready to wait forty whas I hate Okay, never mind.
Here I am admitting a mistake for not having my
audio port to turned down, and I stepped in it
unintentionally because John fixed it for me. I admitted an
error here that was on my end that I didn't
even need to because, as always, he saved the day
(07:00):
making me look good. That's what That's what John Alden does,
all right. So no surprise that a Kentucky auditor is
demanding a response from the governor on the immigrant driver's
license fraud claims that are out there. It was a
WDRB investigation that we did talk a lot about it yesterday,
and I mean, the optics of this are are terrible.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
I mean, it's you know, I mean.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
There's multiple layers here as far as this just being
a really bad situation. And look, it's not uncommon for
any state to have state workers that do things unethically
and sometimes illegally, and they've got to be held accountable. Certainly,
sounds like what we know from this investigation, that's that's
what's happening here. But again, just it being such a
pain in the ass to get a driver's license for
(07:42):
so many people in this state, just because of the
way the state has set it up and maybe the
changes they made being I think clearly at this point
proof that they made a mistake by making said changes.
It should not be as difficult as it is to
go get a driver's license in this state.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
And some of that issues then aren't that huge sum.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
I have had issues to where they're losing days of
work because they're having to make an appointment hours away
and then they get there and close today. I mean,
there's been some examples of that happening. So all that's
going on, that's its own separate issue to where you
feel like your state is letting you down. Well, then
you find out there's workers that are letting illegal immigrants
(08:21):
cut the line and get fake eyed I mean real identifications,
but they're not those people obviously, and they didn't have
to take a driver's test. You got a legal immigrants
here not having to wait at all, not even having
to take a driver's test, and you're being inconvenienced as
a as you know, hopefully a hard working Kentuckian.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
I mean, it's it's bad.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
So Alison balls to the Kentucky State auditor that's putting
some pressure on Basher after that wdrinvestigation uncovered the fraud
and the state's Transportation Cabinet. I mean, it sounds as
if this isn't just a one off. I mean, this
is a scheme that went on for multiple years, multiple
times a day, according to former clerk Melissa Mormon, who
claims that she also had her on her own identification
(09:07):
used without her permission. So it sounds like her log
in with her job there as a clerk was used,
and maybe they were just doing that to try to
keep the red flags from popping up, But she noticed
what was going on because they'd logged into her account
to I guess do it, reported it. Then she claimed
she got fired. So the letter that Ball sent to
Baser and KYTC Secretary Jim Gray demands an action plan
(09:31):
by September first and cites a black market for licenses
run by state agents. So but sheher has confirmed that
they revoked a little bit under two thousand licenses and
terminated all temp workers involved. So they're investigating state and
federal law enforcement are and I mean that's a given
that they're going to investigate. But yeah, this is just
a bad look overall, and I would be so ticked off.
(09:55):
I mean i'd be ticked off as it is if
I couldn't get a driver's license and I would feel
like I'm being in canne By my state, and then
to know of it this went on. It's just again
bad luck overall. All right, we've got to look at
your forecast coming up here with Matt Melosvitch. Also we'll
get to look at the roadways here from Bobby Ellis.
Scott's back with another sports update, and Roy O'Neil said
to join us at eight thirty right here on News
Radio eight forty whas. All right, final segment for us
(10:18):
here on a Thursday morning. It is Coffee and Company,
Kentucky and it's morning News News Radio eight forty whas.
You would have I think if people were just eavesdropping
on us, they would have said.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Were those those guys used to talk sports on the radio?
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Me and Tony Venetti in here shopping it up about
some high school sports? And I don't know you guys
knew this. Tony went to Trinity, big Trinity fan. And
we've got bad news about Rondelle Moore. At twenty four
years old, Rondell Moore has now suffered what is believed
to be a they're calling it pretty significant, and I
think the latest is that it's believed to be season
in a season ending injury. He was carted off the
(10:54):
field in a preseason game for the Vikings, and this
is now back to back where he's had an injury
like this. He missed all of twenty twenty four with
a dislocated right knee that he suffered in training camp
with the Falcons, and then signed this one year contract
with Minnesota, which was believed to be. Okay, he's healthy,
he's going to go out there and show what he
can do. Because when healthy, Rondell Moore has always been
a problem on the football field at every level. He
(11:17):
just has not been able to stay healthy. And here
he is now at twenty four. I just I mean
talk about complete terrible bad luck.
Speaker 6 (11:23):
Yeah, he's such a great kid. Graduating from Purdue in
three years. That is very hard to do, folks. Okay,
he was the Big Ten fresh No, I'm sorry, he
was the Big Ten player of the year as a
true freshman. All Right, People have no idea the talent. Well,
obviously they do Rondell Moore. But you know what, when
(11:43):
you're the focus of a football team, you're you're getting
the ball thrown to you. You're running the ball, you're
you know, let's get Rondell Moore in space, isn't that
wouldn't that be the coaches? How do we get Rondell
Moore in space? So you overuse him? And he used
to run by his you know, behind his pads pretty good.
He runs low, takes the hit with his shoulder pads.
But obviously these knees are just He's got eighty year
(12:05):
old knees on a twenty four year old body.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Well, I remember when I used to run a website,
we put the video of him squatting when he was
at high school, and it was one of the craziest
things you'll ever see, just because of how strong he was.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
I mean that frame.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
But yeah, when I think of Rondel Moore, I think
of how did he not end up at Louisville? And
we all kind of know the backstory there, And to
be fair, the other receiver that Louisville didn't prioritize. I
guess they wanted Rondell Moore, but they clearly didn't make
it seem that he was a high priority they wanted
to to at Well, both these guys are NFL talent.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
So rond Deal Moore.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
I think of two things. One me after the fact,
not realizing he was as good as he actually was
at Purdue. I just thought of it from the Louisville angle.
How do we not get him?
Speaker 6 (12:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (12:45):
He was in twenty eighteen as a freshman, a consensus
freshman All American Big Ten, Receiver of the Year, Big
Ten Freshman of the Year, First Team All Big Ten,
and really was the key player.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Many guys are.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Responsible, but when Jeff was able to And by the way,
how's Perdue doing since Jeff brom left? I mean they
stuck forever before and he brought him some relevant games though. Yeah,
and Rondell was a huge, huge factor in that, not
only because they were winning, but he was electrifying. He
was appointment viewing because of some of the things that
he could do. But Louisville, we were in Orlando, louisll
was playing Alabama the year. Bobby City thinks they'll will
(13:16):
be better. I think we could actually be better without
a large.
Speaker 6 (13:18):
Quarterback from Georgia or Alabama.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Yes, poor Jawan pass so check this out.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Purdue opens up the season on a Thursday night, one
of the first games of the season. I believe Louisville
plays Saturday against Baman Orlando. Rondell Moore standalone game nobody else,
nobody else is playing. And he was the talk of
the country in college football.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
And then Bobby.
Speaker 6 (13:36):
Proceeds to go two and eight, had an extra gear
and he could fight through uh, you know, arm tackles
and or tackles really uh. And that st Ex Trinity
State championship game that he played in as a senior
sat X was loaded Will Wolford's I think last year,
second to last team, and the difference was one player
and that was it. It was Rondell Moore and he
(13:57):
just outran people and just throw it up there, go
get it.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
So is he originally from New Albany?
Speaker 6 (14:02):
Is that he's a New Albany kid? Him and Stephen
Herring both transferred to Trinity from from New Albany or
Albany if you're from up there or from across the river,
and both advanced kids. They both Stephen Herring only got
an engineering degree from Stanford.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
And they came back to finished his career here.
Speaker 6 (14:21):
And Ron del Moore's got a degree from Pride. Yeah,
pretty good, kids, are you? You did go to Trinity, right, Yeah,
I don't know if people know that. Plus part of
the twenty twenty four class of Hallame Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
That is a big honor, to be honest.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
They're both high school Yeah, I mean Trinity Hall of
Fame's no North Bullet Hall of Fame before.
Speaker 6 (14:42):
Being honest, yes, yes, first ballot by the Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Well, have a fun show with Dwight. See you guys.
I suppose it was right around twenty four hours ago,
nearly to the minute, when a woman was shot as
she was walking her I'm not sure the relation to
the child, but she was walking a child to a
school bus stop where just six days prior, at that
same school bus stop, there were shootings that took place
and unfortunately, just an awful I mean that alone is
(00:21):
a traumatic, awful experience that has been clearly an issue
here for quite some time, but at a school bus
stop of all places, and just this was highlighted and
it can never be highlighted, I think too much because
if you don't, if you've not been in that situation,
you just don't understand that you can be just around
that and exposed to gun violence and it can have
a traumatic experience on you, potentially for the rest of
(00:44):
your life. Everybody's different as far as how they handle it,
how they deal with it. So again, gun violence is
an issue in a lot of areas, regardless of who's
committing the crimes. But man, when it's children that are
either the victims of the perpetrator and these things are
taking place at a school bus stop, it's just it's
unfathomable and there's still no arrest been made. They do have,
(01:05):

hope that they can track this individual down sooner rather

But in Chickasaw, around nine pm, they were called to
(01:47):
the forty one hundred block of West Broadway near Cecial Avenue.
A woman found shot, taken to UL Hospital where she died.
No suspects have been identified at this point, so it's
just that's that, and I wouldn't I would hate to
be wrong here because I want to feel like this
is super rare. Maybe we have had a week quite
(02:09):
like this one before, but I was going to say
we haven't because you take into consideration two shootings at
a school bus stop and really a less than less

Speaker 2 (03:05):
But it just, I don't know, I can feel it.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
It just seems as if those who maybe have been
able to kind of not ignore it, but just kind
of you know, live in their own world, being their
own bubble. It's not as easy now because it seems
to be so much, there's so much awareness to it
that you're thinking, Okay, wow, the Louisville has really really
fallen off in a bad way when it comes to
just these things happening way too often. Look, it happening
(03:28):
once is too often. But at the rate now, it

that he is taken into custody as soon as possible
and we can keep our family safe. Thank you.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
And my final emotion that I've had all day is
I'm angry. I'm angry at the individual who killed this
woman today. I'm angry at the two people who shot
at the same bus stop last week. I'm angry that
people still do this in twenty twenty five in our
city at bus stops, and that we keep having the
same conversations over and over again as a city, as
(04:54):
a state, that we keep hearing expressions of thoughts and
prayers for victims. Friend's anger is not going to solve this.
As angry as I am, I know that we all
know that. So let's think about what we can do.
Where do we go from here? Because I firmly believe
that every person in this city, a city with hundreds
(05:18):
of thousands of good and loving and caring people can
and want to do more.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
We the school system can provide education, we can provide resources,
we can provide support, but it is the home where

Speaker 2 (06:39):
It's news.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Ready to wait forty whas I hate Okay, never mind.
Here I am admitting a mistake for not having my

Scott's back with another sports update, and Roy O'Neil said
to join us at eight thirty right here on News
Radio eight forty whas. All right, final segment for us
(10:18):
here on a Thursday morning. It is Coffee and Company,
Kentucky and it's morning News News Radio eight forty whas.
You would have I think if people were just eavesdropping
on us, they would have said.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Were those those guys used to talk sports on the radio?
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Me and Tony Venetti in here shopping it up about
some high school sports? And I don't know you guys
knew this. Tony went to Trinity, big Trinity fan. And
we've got bad news about Rondelle Moore. At twenty four
years old, Rondell Moore has now suffered what is believed
to be a they're calling it pretty significant, and I
think the latest is that it's believed to be season
in a season ending injury. He was carted off the
(10:54):
field in a preseason game for the Vikings, and this
is now back to back where he's had an injury
like this. He missed all of twenty twenty four with
a dislocated right knee that he suffered in training camp
with the Falcons, and then signed this one year contract
with Minnesota, which was believed to be. Okay, he's healthy,
he's going to go out there and show what he
can do. Because when healthy, Rondell Moore has always been
a problem on the football field at every level. He
(11:17):
just has not been able to stay healthy. And here
he is now at twenty four. I just I mean
talk about complete terrible bad luck.
Speaker 6 (11:23):
Yeah, he's such a great kid. Graduating from Purdue in
three years. That is very hard to do, folks. Okay,
he was the Big Ten fresh No, I'm sorry, he
was the Big Ten player of the year as a
true freshman. All Right, People have no idea the talent. Well,
obviously they do Rondell Moore. But you know what, when
(11:43):
you're the focus of a football team, you're you're getting
the ball thrown to you. You're running the ball, you're
you know, let's get Rondell Moore in space, isn't that
wouldn't that be the coaches? How do we get Rondell
Moore in space? So you overuse him? And he used
to run by his you know, behind his pads pretty good.
He runs low, takes the hit with his shoulder pads.
But obviously these knees are just He's got eighty year
(12:05):
old knees on a twenty four year old body.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Well, I remember when I used to run a website,
we put the video of him squatting when he was
at high school, and it was one of the craziest
things you'll ever see, just because of how strong he was.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
I mean that frame.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
But yeah, when I think of Rondel Moore, I think
of how did he not end up at Louisville? And
we all kind of know the backstory there, And to
be fair, the other receiver that Louisville didn't prioritize. I
guess they wanted Rondell Moore, but they clearly didn't make
it seem that he was a high priority they wanted
to to at Well, both these guys are NFL talent.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
So rond Deal Moore.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
I think of two things. One me after the fact,
not realizing he was as good as he actually was
at Purdue. I just thought of it from the Louisville angle.
How do we not get him?
Speaker 6 (12:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (12:45):
He was in twenty eighteen as a freshman, a consensus
freshman All American Big Ten, Receiver of the Year, Big
Ten Freshman of the Year, First Team All Big Ten,
and really was the key player.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Many guys are.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Responsible, but when Jeff was able to And by the way,
how's Perdue doing since Jeff brom left? I mean they
stuck forever before and he brought him some relevant games though. Yeah,
and Rondell was a huge, huge factor in that, not
only because they were winning, but he was electrifying. He
was appointment viewing because of some of the things that
he could do. But Louisville, we were in Orlando, louisll
was playing Alabama the year. Bobby City thinks they'll will
(13:16):
be better. I think we could actually be better without
a large.
Speaker 6 (13:18):
Quarterback from Georgia or Alabama.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Yes, poor Jawan pass so check this out.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Purdue opens up the season on a Thursday night, one
of the first games of the season. I believe Louisville
plays Saturday against Baman Orlando. Rondell Moore standalone game nobody else,
nobody else is playing. And he was the talk of
the country in college football.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
And then Bobby.
Speaker 6 (13:36):
Proceeds to go two and eight, had an extra gear
and he could fight through uh, you know, arm tackles
and or tackles really uh. And that st Ex Trinity
State championship game that he played in as a senior
sat X was loaded Will Wolford's I think last year,
second to last team, and the difference was one player
and that was it. It was Rondell Moore and he
(13:57):
just outran people and just throw it up there, go
get it.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
So is he originally from New Albany?
Speaker 6 (14:02):
Is that he's a New Albany kid? Him and Stephen
Herring both transferred to Trinity from from New Albany or
Albany if you're from up there or from across the river,
and both advanced kids. They both Stephen Herring only got
an engineering degree from Stanford.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
And they came back to finished his career here.
Speaker 6 (14:21):
And Ron del Moore's got a degree from Pride. Yeah,
pretty good, kids, are you? You did go to Trinity, right, Yeah,
I don't know if people know that. Plus part of
the twenty twenty four class of Hallame Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
That is a big honor, to be honest.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
They're both high school Yeah, I mean Trinity Hall of
Fame's no North Bullet Hall of Fame before.
Speaker 6 (14:42):
Being honest, yes, yes, first ballot by the Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Well, have a fun show with Dwight. See you guys.
