Snowmobiling accident in alaska. She put things in perspective, appreciating time, and the get trump elected. What we dont have time for is all that petty, punkass little thugary stuff thats been going on with these, quote, unquote, protestors who are doing nothing but wasting your time and trying to take away your First Amendment rights, your rights to assemble peacefully, and the media being on the thug side. What the heck are you guys thinking, media . It doesnt make sense [ booing ] it wasnt just palin. A lot of other people came out for the trump rally today, including chris christie. This is a look outside the Tampa Convention center just hours ago. You can see a lot of people out there. Both people in support and protest of trump. Now with our carson chambers. She was there for every minute of it. Carson . Reporter hey, guys. Pretty loud out here wrapping up. You can see donald trump going around this very small venue.

Did see sarah palin despider husband being in a bad accident and being in icu in alaska. She was still here. And also governor chris christie. Heres what trump had to say earlier. [ music ] the biggest story in all of politics worldwide today is whats happening with the republican party. And whats going on has been they call it a phenomena. Ive been on the cover of Time Magazine more times than none. Whats happening is theres millions and millions of people that are voting. Theyre not voting for democrats. Theyre down 34 from years ago.

Hes going back to ohio and showing up again in south florida tomorrow. You live coverage on primary night. Carson chambers,. She witnessed several disruptions inside that rally. Things were really heated. Right. So that was inside. But whats happening outside the Convention Center where many were wondering were these protestors going to get violent just like the scuffles in chicago where they had to cancel one of the rallies . Adam weiner shows us what happened. Reporter it was a bit of a yelling match between the protestors and Trump Supporters lined up outside the Convention Center before the event today. Take a look. It was about 20 or 30 protestors who marched from the old failed site of a trump tower in tampa to the Convention Center making their point heard that they dont like trumps message. They eventually came faceto face with some of trumps supporters. Thousands of them were lined up outside the Convention Center ahead of the rally. They did yell at each other. There were some chants back and forth. Nothing violent in the slightest here. Tampa police said they were ready if anything were to occur. But thankfully nothing happened. Protestors say they, too, were not expecting anything violent today. Tampa is an amazing sports. We have amazing people who live here. One thing i know about tam is tampa is not chicago. Tampa is tampa is not chicago. We can respect each other. Reporter as for traffic downtown, much of South Franklin street in downtown tampa was blocked off much the day as security was out here making sure nothing unsafe happened. Were told by tampa police that the south frankland street should be reopened once all the traffic from the Convention Center is let out. Im adam wineier, the now winer, the now tampa bay. This afternoon at a restaurant in melbourne, rubio only one that can beat donald trump. And hes add meant hell do it tomorrow night. Like always, it comes down to florida. 99 delegates to one person. And i want it to be me. And i need you to help it be me. Reporter the very latest poll numbers released today show frontrunner donald trump is widening the gap between he and rubio. Even put ted cruz ahead of rubio for second place. If he loses in his home state of florida, of course, could mark the end for his president ial campaign. Well wait and see. Lori, you have a look at the rest of the field. Thats for sure. John kasich saying hes getting extra high powered help in his fight against donald trump in ohio. Mitt romney campaigning at a town hall in that state. Bernie sanders is also campaigning in ohio today. Hillary clinton beating him there but not by much. Clinton is campaigning in chicago. Illinois is one of the other big states from the democrats tomorrow along with florida. Missouri and North Carolina also voting tomorrow. And, yes, tomorrow is a huge, huge election day. But we do have other things to including this breaking beer news. Brew bound. This is the tweet. Its a trade publication, how we first learned about this. Cigar sports, the leading independent brewery in the area, based here in tampa, of course. Youve likely heard of it. Its selling to oscar blues out of colorado. So i spoke to joey redner, had confirmed the deal but says operations will stay put in tampa. And the 82 people employed by cigar sports will keep their jobs. They cigar city will keep their jobs. In trouble for allegedly drinking, losing his temper, and then shooting at his step daughter. Pinellas police say this guy fired a gun at his adult step daughter. This story still very much developing. His job as a School Crossing guard, thats still under review. Heres one for you, ashley. If you dont know about the website next door, its fdot a secret website but called private. A social media for your neighborhood its a secret website but its not a secret website but called private. A social media for your neighborhood. People talk everything about crime to garage sales. But now police in st. Petersburg are going to use it as well. Officers will be assigned to different users on the website. They can know who is working in their neighborhood. This is huge because there are already more than 95 represented on the app and its completely free to sign up. We have breaking news to get to now. Less than two hours ago, tornado touching down in ohio. This is a picture tweeted out not too long ago. This is phillipsburg just about an hour and a half north of cincinnati. You can see that the storm formed there. You can see the funnel. Yeah. And actually this is something weve been tracking now. This front extends all the way down to the gulf coast. I dont think itll have a big impact on us. We did see rain this weekend. Not a bad thing. You look outside right now. And youre still looking at a good deal of sunshine across part of the area. But, yet, theres still some showers and heavy rains down across the southern section and eastern sections of the state. Showers out there. And as we go on through the next, oh, 15, 20 minutes, i think the bulk of the rain off to the east will be pushing out of polk county with temperatures anywhere from the 81 in tampa. Although it was plant city. 81 in tampa. One last gasp of Winter Weather may be coming our way. Well talk about when it minutes. All right, denis. Also coming up on the now tampa bay, an suv fall from a parking garage. When we come back, how this happened and how the driver is right now, some incredible pictures to show you from baltimore, maryland. The driver of this audi suv is still alive after it fell from the fourth floor of a parking garage. The driver, a woman in her 20s, was not seriously hurt. How about that . We still dont know how the car fell, whether it was the driver that drove through that wall or if there was a structural were still trying to figure that out. As for the car, it stayed pretty well intact. I cant belief you say somebody actually walked out of this it fell four stories, if you can believe that. Again, the woman in that car, a woman in her 20s, is said to be fine. Not seriously hurt. You see all that glass and part of the car shattered there. But still she is doing just fine. Well, i want to take a look at this video there. Can you guess what happened there . Hard to believe no one was hurt when this balcony collapsed in cincinnati. The woman who lives inside that apartment was on the that balcony moments before it fell. Luckily, she walked inside just before it gave way. A next door neighborhood heard the loud bang and thought someone drove into the building. Thats how loud it was. The building is being inspected to make sure its still safe. Right now, investigators are checking whether a car crash may have damaged the track before this amtrak train derailed overnight in kansas. Engineer noticed a bend in the track, hit the emergency brakes just before it derailed. Right now, at least 32 people are recovering from injuries. Thankfully, many have gone home to the hospital. This man youre about to hear from now helped at least one of the passengers right after that crash. One gentleman just stopped me kind of in the darkness of the field and said, friend, friend i said, youre right. Whats going on . He said, is there any blood . I kind of shined any cellphone light in his face. It was very bloody. Reporter the train was on its way from l. A. To chicago when it derailed. At least five cars ended on its side. Today crews were taking measurables along the tracks. Ntsb is now investigating. As early as this week, president obama is going to recommend someone to replace Justice Antonin Scalia who died unexpectedly last month. Theyre launching a campaign that would essentially and the democrats who suggest the course. Opponents will put together strategies working with the conservative research group. Gop calls it the most comprehensive judicial response effort in the history. Theyll determine whether the court leans more liberal or conservative in its decisions. Were learning today at least one woman was part of the suicide car bombers attack in turkey. They think the second was a man. They havent confirmed his identity yet. 11 people have been detained in connection to this. The attack was from kurdish rebels and theyre going to fight the rebels until theyre all wiped out. All right. Well, happening right now, theyre bracing for more flooding in the south. Heres some pictures here. Here they are. The rain may have stopped but the rivers are still high. This is a major highway in louisiana. Looks like a river here. Been called out to help some of these People National guard has been called out to help some of the people in the area. You can see theyre trying to get into boats. Thats the only way they can get through the streets that look like rivers. Boats to get around. I guess you get a little worried and anxious maybe is the big word. Just when is it going to recede . When am i going to get back to normal . Nearly 5,000 homes are damaged in louisiana now. President obama has declared the flooding in the state a major disaster. That means flood victims there can now get federal help. Well, whats the point of Daylight Saving time other than just making all of us tired . Almost all 50 states turned the clocks ahead one hour in the spring except for arizona and hawaii. The nows ann is finding out the reason may be history. Reporter the start of the workweek was slow everywhere for everyone the people that came in seemed very tired. Everyone said, oh, i wish i had four of the coffees or it was really hard to wake up today. Yeah, the struggle is very real. So we should get rid of it. Reporter randy washington just doesnt see the point of Daylight Savings time. It makes us late, including the person hes about to meet here a few minutes. I let her know yesterday. Reporter but youll be forgiving, right . Of course of course its a horribly antiquated system weve been using way too long. Ill be forgiving. Yeah, i have to be. Reporter even the economics professor we asks admits the original intent of Daylight Savings time doesnt make sense anymore. It started as a way to save money in wartime. It became important in world war i. The main reason was to save energy, coal. During that time, it wasnt easy to switch lights on and reporter but he says its not clear if the hour of electricity is saving that much anymore. In fact, most of us are spending more on the cup of coffee. So instead of one. Back over here with denis in for shay this week. Anytime we lose sleep, especially for a weekend, were just not on board. Why cant you make it on a tuesday night . A weekday . You know, the nice thing about it, though, is we still get more sunshine in the evenings. And as you see, the main sail right now, there are folks spring break for a lot of folks. And more spring breaks coming up next week. We have spring training. So you know the beaches will be packed. This week, kind of a 50 50 week. Ill tell you right now, folks, its going to rain this weekend. And theres going to be more rain than we had yesterday. So you might as well make the plans now. Well be talking about that coming up the next couple of days. We did see some rain across the in terms of overall rainfall totals, though, nothing too drastic in terms of actually measurable rain. Most of the region didnt even have any. Trace of rain. Although for shocco ranch, eastern polk, 1 2 inch of rain. There were some showers. Kind of summerlike, right . With temperatures this is certainly well, maybe not summerlike but pretty close when you see mid to upper 80s across the area. And have you noticed the dew points rising . The humidity is higher. Thatll lead to fog overnight. Usually this time of year, fog is a decent issue. And 7 00 tonight, we already begin to see things develop. And look how it sort of builds inland through the overnight hours. So tomorrow morning, think we see some patchy fog. Wednesday morning, we might see some widespread fog first thing in the morning. It burns off by about 8 30, 9 00. And the rest of the day turns out to be nice and warm with temperatures right back in the low to mid80s. I know some folks are complaining. Right to summer what happened to spring . Well, hang in there. By early next week, were going to go back as cooler air starts to dig from the north. Well talk about that coming up in the next half hour. All right, den. Well pick back soon. Still ahead, theres this new no touching policy. Its in schools. That includes hugs. Well explain that next on the think about this. Think back to your days in school or maybe imagine your kids not being allowed to high five or hug each other . At school, they cant hug each other they cant even lend a hand if someone falls sounds bizarre. But its called a no touching policy in a Tennessee School district. School administrators say its physical contact. Some teachers say there have been problems with bullying in the school. One parent whos also a therapist says it could have lasting effects on these kids. When they are told that they cant help somebody up whos fallen and hurt themselves, they are being taught the opposite of compassion. Theyre being taught how to be a person who says, i could help you but id better not. Theyre being required to behave in a way thats very abnormal. Now, listen to this. If the kids actually do touch each other at school, they will be punished. And if it continues, eventually they will be suspended. Wow. Okay, another scenario here. A question maybe. Do you think theres actually life on mars . Were about to find out. Well tell you why. Theres a new mission in the air today. Heres a look at the unmanned Russian Rocket lifting off from mars. The European Mission is expected to reach the planet in october. Its goal is to search for theyll be mapping methane because scientists are thinking that chemical should exist if theres life on the planet. But thats only part of the mission. They plan to land a rover on mars in 2018 to drill into the samples. Beautiful site, that blastoff shot there. Yeah, yeah. So where does u. S. Stand in the space race . Nasas last land to mars was originally scheduled to last this month. But now its not happening until 2018 because of a technical issue. The mission is designed to help all of us understand how rocky planets like earth and mars formed and evolved. Nasa last week tested the first deep space rocket engine for 500 seconds for the first time. Thats the engine theyre building to carry people on a future mission to mars. Very cool. More stories coming up today ant the hillsboro county deputy killed when a wrongway driver slammed into his cruiser over the weekend. Crosswalk that night explaining why hes a hero. Youll hear that coming up right now, some disturbing new developments in the death of a Maryland Police officer. Three brothers under arrest accused of trying to videotape a socalled suicide by cop. They say one of the brothers fired at officers outside this Police Station while the other two recorded it on their cellphones. Officer ky coleson was killed. It appears the person tried to die during a gun battle with police. Its unclear yet if the brothers actually intended to kill an officer. One of your defenders, coleson, a 24year veteran a 4year veteran, 29yearold man, lost his life today. No charges have been filed. One of the brothers arrested was in high school. The other two were adults. An american who says he was fighting for the terror group isis. Hes finally in custody. By kurdish media today. It shows 27yearold Muhammad Jamal surrendering in iraq. Its believed hes from virginia, arrived in syria two months ago. Also showing his american drivers license and credit card. He reportedly had a lot of cash on him at the time he turned himself in. So far, the state department has not confirmed details of the surrender but does say they are investigating at this time. Again, this gentleman was apparently living in virginia and then he went to syria. Once he got to syria, he turned himself in, had his passport, drivers license as well as a lot of cash on him at the time. Ashley . And just in this afternoon, laura, were hearing from the woman who called 911 when that hillsboro county officer was shot and killed. Happened over the weekend. Listen as the woman describes how the deputy acted to save lives. Realized the car was coming i was flashing my lights crazily at him like a strobe light. Like click, click, click, click, click because i couldnt think of any other way to say, top driving at me please dont hit me and when i realized there was nothing i could do, i started to pull over to the side of the road. But that hadnt even occurred all the way when the officer rushed around me and one or two seconds after he passed me, he ended up hitting the car. Reporter and we will hear more from that woman, that witness, and some of his fellow deputies coming up on abc action news at 5 00. Meantime, we did learn today there will be a Small Service here. But the polk funeral wake and procession that will happen in massachusetts his brother and father are working in Law Enforcement as well. And right now, tally hall at that is part of a Pilot Project to protect you when it comes to wrongway drivers. The u. S. Department of transportation picking tampa bay to test ways of alerting the nows nicole grigg shows you the lifesaving technology. Reporter there may be a way to alert you of wrongway drivers, traffic accidents, and if youre approaching oncoming traffic fast inside your vehicle. Itll be the latest Smart Technology in a program called connected vehicle and basically keeps you connected to everything around you and will let your car talk with infrastructure around you, including stoplights. But itll also allow me vehicle talk to your vehicle. Seems Luke A Disney film, huh . I have an idea. Reporter but if youre like keith miller, you know technology is driving itself literally your car. We have to be accustomed to the future somehow. Takes progress. Reporter he was one of the technology can keep you connected by tracking you and heres the thing. If you have a new vehicle, this installed. But if you want to put it going to have to pay for it. Reporter john fry is ahead of the project. Right now hes in the planning phase and trying to figure out how this all will all work. They expect to have a better idea this summer as they see how itll work. The test area, though, will be downtown tampa near meridian avenue and will let you know about wrongway drivers and will help buses, especially when theyre turning and help keep pedestrians safe. We asked, though, if this is all realistic, especially if people have to pay for an antennalike device on older cars to get the alerts. There will be programs in place that we can do that . We dont know. Thats how well investigate. Reporter this project will not even begin to be tested on our streets for at least another year. While theyre busy investigating if it will work here, its going to help give the government a better idea if its something well see for the now tampa bay, im nicole grigg. Have you ever had a traffic ticket you couldnt pay . Maybe you forgot about it . Maybe it got to an arrest warrant . I hope not. But local judges got a warning of their own today related to all of this. And it could save people money in the future. Welcome back to the now tampa bay. Well, not paying your fines for tickets is getting some people sent to jail. But apparently the Justice Department is trying to stop ashley with more on that. Reporter yeah, a letter was sent out today, laura, to local courts in every single state warning them about using fines to try and raise revenue. The feds say judges should consider alternatives to jail for people who dont make a lot of money and maybe cant afford the fines. They also say an arrest warrant shouldnt be used as routinely as they are right now to get people to pay court debt. This comes after a Justice Department investigation in ferguson, missouri, exposed the practice of courts using fines to make money. They found a court there prioritized revenue over safety. Thats what the Justice Department is now trying to fight in other cities. And its not very common for the department to send out a letter like it did today. The last time this actually happened was in 2010 telling judges they had to provide translators for people who couldnt speak english. The letters dont set any new laws. They do put local leaders on notice about the federal governments priorities, however. All right, ashley. People can never keep a secret these days. The ncaa bracket was leaked on twitter by this guy who no longer has a twitter page. This is what he did. He put out the bracket before it was supposed to happen. It was like a twohour special were all supposed to watch to find out who our team is playing but thanks to that guy, we never had to. And while that guy is dealing with being the whistleblower for march madness, i can almost guarantee your boss is dealing with bigger problems. As you know, youre less productive this time of year. And im sure if you were working last night, you did your favorite team. Well, theres a new survey finding 18 microphone more of us will be 18 more of us than in 2011. Were now streaming the game and getting you wants on our cellphones. And 32 of managers think it positively impacts your morale at work which is down from last year when it was just 15 or 50 . Ashley . Youre looking pretty positive now that the brackets brackets are out. So excited laura and i have been sniffling both a week now. Are you struggling with allergies . All that pollen in the air . Well, maybe get a tattoo to feel better yeah, you heard me. New Research Shows that tattoos may stimulate the immune system. The Huffington Post got us talking about it. A new study in the american journal of human biology suggest that people with multiple tattoos have a better immune response. They say up to 29 people spit to get the results. One of the authors says, no, dont get out and get a tattoo to ward off the flu as i joked about earlier. Actually, a persons first at that time can make them nor susceptible to illness. Still, they hope this new study cuts down with negative stigmas that come with getting inked. Making sure your vote counts. Polls tomorrow. Plus, could someone in last place be the key to stopping donald trump . Well explain the math coming up. Republicans hope so. Plus, which brands of purina. Right now, sorting out the results of a new poll. First in florida shows trump with the whopping 21 margin over florida native marco rubio. Were talking 22 for 46 46 to 22 , excuse me. Florida is a do or die state in the primaries for rubio. In ohio, too. In ohio. They say Johnson Johnson must win in ohio to john kasich must win in ohio to stay alive. Hillary clinton leads by almost 30 points in florida. And were checking in on those early voting numbers. What do they mean here in florida . Nearly 2 million floridians have already voted in the president ial primary. Theyre either mailed in or voted early at many sites around the state. We checked state election records. And they show about 1. 1 million floridians voted republicans and a little less as of today. About 850,000 voted democratic. Now, with all that, the nows todd walker joins us as the man in fourth place, john kasich could potentially stop donald trump from securing those nominations he needs. Single day, but its true. Tomorrows primaries could m. E. A. C. Or break the republicans. Make or break the republicans. Ohio and florida are up for grabs tomorrow. Also the home of marco rubio and john kasich. If they dont win at home, their campaigns are done. But if the guy in last place, john kasich, wins his home state of ohio and trump wins florida, it still leads open the possibility of a broker convention. Trump would then have to win 60 of the remaining delegates to get the nomination. Its not impossible but certainly more difficult. And the other candidates know that. Marco rubio told all his supporters in ohio to vote for john kasich. Doing whatever it takes whatever the cost to stop trump. The math is real. And if somebody cant get the total number of delegates, we have a thousand delegates yet to go. Reporter if john kasich wins ohio and marco rubio wins his home state of florida, trump would need to win 70 of the delegates to secure the rubio is trailing trump in the polls right now and hes starting to come to grips with the math. I i still at this moment continue to intend to support the republican nominee. But getting harder every day. Reporter well be in ohio tomorrow watching the math and bring you the latest on the now. Todd, thank you. The last time the republicans began their last convention without a clear nominee was 1976. Getting out to vote tomorrow is getting easier than ever because theyre now offering free rides to the polls for many people out there. Several local bus systems are offering free bus rides tomorrow for the president ial primary. Sarasota and Manatee County area transit systems, you can just hop on in hillsboro. You need to bring your valid voter i. D. Card. Theyll be doing it in august and the general election in november. Well, this is a first for we have some breaking baby news.

You can see the debris grog on now. This is really that going on now. You get into march, april, and may. Those are prime times for tornado season. And usually with el nino, anything but quiet over the winter time. We did see the rain roll in last night. We had more rain across the boy, sure didnt keep temperatures down, did it . Now. Were in the middle 80s most the area. Through this morning and moderate to heavy rains across manatee, hillsboro, and polk county. Things are quieting down. But heres the thing. The moisture is still out there. Although the rains wont be a factor later tonight into tomorrow, what will be, i think, is some patchy dense fog. A lot of moisture out today and all the ingredients are out there to make visibility limited. Maybe even worse on wednesday morning but temperatures, theyre going to stay unusually warm. Right back in the upper 70s closer to the beach. Then east of i75, and look at that all of a sudden, youre about 10 degrees above normal. Mid80s. I know this is just a little bit early for some folks. Im hearing it on facebook. Well, blue color indicates some colder air. And it does look by early next which could be some snow up north. Were not going to see a freeze. But i think we get one last next week. Lows maybe in the 50s or 30s. Highs back in the upper 60s to low 70s. But until then, weve got a lot of heat and humidity to deal with. Well. Now, the rain we had yesterday and today helped a little bit. Tree pollen from the high side down to the moderate side. But i suspect itll go right back up again to the high side later tomorrow and into friday. Thats when things begin to change. Not tonight with the exception of some patchy fog as we look at the fourday forecast. By friday, rain chances begin to increase. They begin to increase big time. Weve got rain rolling in this weekend. Ill tell you all about it coming up at the top of the hour on abc action news at 5 00. All right, denis, thank you.
