Highs Monday 45, and maybe snow flurries late Monday night. Lows in the 20s this week.
Henderson County shooting
There was a shooting about 4:30 a.m. Sunday morning in a Henderson County trailer park. Kassandra “Special K” Pride went out in the rain to bring us rainy video of the crappy trailers and the Leisure Lane road sign where the shooting went down.
Special K said the shooting followed an argument at a nightclub in Greenville, S.C. A 23-year-old is wanted for attempted murder and assualt with a deadly weapon with intent to kill. The dude shot at three other dudes. He hit two of them. The guys with bullet wounds drove themselves to Pardee Hospital.
Special K talked to the Henderson County sheriff, who said the victims were not cooperating.
Commercial break
Jamie Simpson with Rug&Home walks backwards and tells us about great deals on rugs. She just got married, ya know.
Water-logged
Russ “Beefcake” Bowen, looking all serious at the anchor desk, said St. Joseph’s emergency department was shut down Sunday because of water damage from a broken pipe.
The pipe burst about 9 p.m. Saturday night. Crews were cleaning everything up, but for now, the ER remains closed. Everybody is supposed to go over to the Mission emergency department if they need help.
In other news…

Things are going swell without WLOS. However, I do miss Darcel Grimes’ monochromatic ensembles, Bob Caldwell’s squirrely weather routines, and Russ Bowen’s strong jaw. If only the "rabbit ears" Mediacom promised would arrive! Poor me.. HA!
Thankfully, the game’s on Fox, and Mediacom doesn’t have a beef with them. Yet. (OK, I don’t know why I said "thankfully," as I really don’t care who wins.)
And thanks for the news update. Sounds like we didn’t miss much.
