It was paradise in flames in hawaii where incredibly fastmoving wildfires on the island of maui have claimed at least six lives overnight framing parts of the picturesque Tourist Destination against a hellish backdrop. Homes, businesses, and the Historic Town of lahaina destroyed. Power and communications crippled. Residents and visitors urgently evacuated. Others running for their lives in desperate sprints to the ocean to escape the heat and smoke. Many of the injured treated for burns. The fire sweeping across the western part of maui driven by strong winds fueled by a hurricane hundreds of miles away that initially kept firefighting helicopters on the ground. Miguel almaguer has made his way to maui and has this late report. Reporter the apocalyptic scene in maui unfolded before sunrise. An island wildfire so explosive, flames poured into the pacific forcing the desperate to plunge into the ocean to escape the inferno. Careful here. Reporter the coast guard quickly plucking roughly a dozen from the water as witnesses say the unstoppable blaze ripped across homes and took at least six lives. The smoke was just so thick, people were running around looking for refuge. It was the heat was unbearable. Reporter during the chaotic evacuation oh, my god. Reporter hospitals treating at least 20 burn victims quickly became overwhelmed. 911 service went down. Cell coverage is out, and the National Guard was ordered in to help. It really took us by surprise. Reporter as 70mileanhour winds fanned the flames, the air attack was grounded. Quickly multiple fires erupted. Historic sections of lahaina were swallowed by flames and engulfed in smoke. This is not a safe place to be on certain parts of maui. We have shelters that are overrun. Reporter calling the unfolding catastrophe unprecedented, state Officials Say some of maui is without power. Roads are blocked. Hotels are closing, and thousands of tourists and locals are trying to flee. Our stuff is still at our hotel, so we are here at the airport at night with no stuff. The firestorm came through and took everything with it. Reporter but for those with nowhere to go or no way out, the extent of the damage is still unclear. Local people have lost everything. Theyve lost their house, theyve lost their animals, and its devastating. Reporter tonight this is the misery in maui awildfire turns thropical paradinto a hellish nightmare. Here at the airport and across the island, some 4,000 people are trying to leave maui, which is still under a state of emergency. Airlines are sold out and hotels are evacuating. Many have nowhere to turn. Lester. Miguel almaguer in hawaii starting us off. Joining me now is hawaiis Lieutenant Governor sylvia luke.

Do you have any e of whaure ng in terms of people displaced . Visitors and loc alike . You know, as of this morning, we see reports from the maui county that about 2,000 over 2,000 people are at the shelters. Thats not including the 2,000 people at the airport. These are mostly visitors waiting to fly back to their final destination and because they were evacuated early, they ended up spending the night at the airport. And maui obviously an attractive destination in good times. What is your message to travelers to the island right now . I issued an emergency proclamation a few hours ago encouraging people not to travel to maui, you know, whether its visitors or residents, its not a safe place for you to be. We have wildfires that are not completely contained. We have travel plans to maui, we ask that you postpone it or cancel it at this time. Acting governor luke, thank you for taking time out during this very busy period. We do appreciate it. Thank you, lester.

The fbi says it happened at 6 15 this morning in nearby provo, utah, where they were serving an arrest warrant on suspect, Craig Robertson who they say was approximate ly 70 to 75 years old. There was a big boom then another one and another one. Reporter in Court Documents, the fbi says robertson posted on social media i hear biden is coming to utah and that he was cleaning the dust off his sniper rifle. This robertson post according to the fbi shows a picture of his weapons, along with threats ahead of the 2024 election cycle. The documents also say robertson posted threats to kill Vice PresidentKamala Harris and the democratic d. A. In bragg, who is now prosecuting former president trump. During surveillance in march, the fbi says it observed robertson wearing a hat bearing the word trump, and when agents attempted to speak with him, robertson replied, i said it was a dream adding, dont return without a warrant. He was nice to me. It just goes to show, you never know who your neighbors are. Reporter it comes amid growing concerns over threats to Public Officials and their families. Capitol police saying the number of investigations is historically high. Major incidents ine the vnt atcy pel sband paul and an tempted assassination of brett kavanaugh.

Trumps Top Republican rival, Florida Governor ron desantis, who made headlines today when he suspended an elected state Democratic State prosecutor calling her soft on crime, and tonight she is firing back. Gabe gutierrez has that story. Reporter tonight, state attorney Monique Worrell is off the job suspended by Florida Governor ron desantis. Shes now firing back calling him a weak dictator, whos targeting her to prop up his president ial campaign. This is absolutely a political hit job. I think that the Governors Campaign is failing and that he needed something to put him in the national spotlight. Report worrell is a progressive prosecutor in orlando who campaigned on criminal Justice Reform and was backed by a committee that got money from liberal megadonor george soros. Desantis accuses her of refusing to enforce law. Monique worrells administration of criminal justice in the ninth circuit has been clearly and fundamentally derelict so as to constitute both neglect of duty and incompetence. Reporter the police union criticized worrell for being soft on crime, and today a local sheriff praised desantis move. This governor has always put the victims, has always put the lawabiding citizens ahead of the criminals. Reporter her performance slammed. Two orlando officers were shot and wounded by a suspect who had been released on bail. Worrell tells us she had no say over his release. Governor desantis is saying that youre just not enforcing the law, that youre abusing prosecutorial discretion. Your response . Its not true. Crime is down in orange and oseola counties, not up, and that decrease has happened since i took office 2 1 2 years ago. Reporter this is the second time desantis has suspended a democratic prosecutor. Tonight worrell tells us shes reviewing her legal options. Gabe gutierrez, thank you.

In a Court Document bahamian official s say the trio agreed on july 16th to murder her husband. Bethel is said to be her lover, newbold the alleged hit man. They have yet to enter pleas and no comment from their attorney.
