She said she and her son got down on the floor and when she said there was a Large Police Presence and she saw ems workers and First Responders on the scene as well. The neighbor said that she saw two ems workers come out of the house with the children. One worker holding each child as they came out. But sources telling the fox 8 i team that at least one of the children was breathing and that her three was shot in the face and a nine yearold shot in the back. That due to this driveby shooting. Sources telling the fox 8 i team that at least six shots were shot into the home behind me. Something the neighbor witnessed and reported as well. Tracy ms will, learning new information as it comes in. Police way too busy to talk to us but we confirmed that information from not only the fox 8 i team but from witnesses drive by the house. The victims just so young. A horrific scene. Melissa, thank you. The eyes of the nation are on the Vice President ial debate tonight. Tim kaine and mike pence faceoff for the first and only time. Donald trump during his campaign is called mexicans rapist and criminals. Hes called women slobs, dogs, pigs for discussing. Out like saying that in front of my wife and mother. He says ours is an insult driven campaign . Did you all just hear that . The Vice President ial candidates focused less on themselves and more on the president ial contenders. As expected, tim kaine hit on issues like trumps tax returns, his stance on immigration in us history of controversial comments. Pence counted by focusing on Hillary Clintons foundation, her private email server enter failures as secretary of state. There was also a heavy focus on foreignpolicy. Ronald reagan said something adjusting about Nuclear Problem with Nuclear Proliferation is that some maniac could trigger a catastrophic event. That is exactly what governor pence running mate is capable of. Senator thats pretty low. At the end of the debate both men talked about their faith. Kane is catholic and pens an evangelical christian. John carroll universitys speech and debate team stop by the fox 8 studios to watch the debate into way in on whom they thought came out on top. Fox 8 Elizabeth Berry can do is here with what they had to say. I know you spent a lot of time with them as they are watching and they had a lot to say. This group was great listening to what they had to say. Most of the student said they are in favor of a thirdparty candidate but the majority of them thought mike pence was the clear winner. Student say they were shocked things got as he did as they did at times. Many were expecting a very vanilla performance tonight but we got more than that. The student say they felt pence was very polite and well mannered, working was interruptive and all over the place with his responses. They said they felt pence was the Hillary Clinton of this debate and he was a clear winner. They were both doing a pretty solid job and both actually talking about policy and not just defending their tnt our time. If i had to pick one, i would say pence because he seemed to keep his composure more throughout the debate. As opposed to tim kaine interrupting a lot more. Pence. And why . I think a lot of his positions on the issues are solid and its definitely hard for him getting pushback on things that Hillary Clinton and donald trump have both said and another thing is a lot of it is kaine three and a lot of interrupting which makes for him. Pence, i think he really kept together and kept it cool, calm and collected were came was all over the place and really wasnt focus on the big issues that needed to be discussed. Pence for sure. He seems much more into it and he knew exactly what he wanted to say. Kane kept on interrupting and showed his true side. He seemed flustered and it felt more like a script. Pence seem like he knows the topic in a debater overall. I think penn state a lot better for himself by keeping his composure. From the beginning he let pence know he was getting under his skin and that her a lot of the content of what he had to say. So i think intel, a lot of the debate students were bothered by the fact that tim kaine did a lot of interrupting, but when i asked them if the debate changes their mind about who they will vote for, they said no. Their minds were already made up. Its refreshing to see our young generation so involved in the political process. Speech and debate team. They are very well spoken, arent they elizabeth. Exactly. I wouldnt want to have to debate them. President obama is coming to cleveland to campaign for Hillary Clinton. Hes also pushing the message of early voting.

They declined to go on camera but they released a statement that reads in part while we explored locations throughout the city, we were unable to finalize an eastside location that met the criteria within the 2016 timeline. They went on to add we install an additional cleveland script sign in 2017. They can do it to the west have been at the side.

He could still take the mound in the series later this postseason. Hes not ready to pitch in the game. Hes making significant progress and we think there is a possibility that a game might not be too often in the horizon. Meanwhile, the indians took to the field at the corner of carnegie and ontario in preparation for the first of the series against boston. They all know boston won the season series, four games to appear, but that the teams met so far ago during the season as to not be indicative of how competitive the series really can be. Plus, the indians surged past boston on the final weekend. Everyone have the attitude of checking your ego at the door we want to come together and play playing here and just a few more runs here. We continue to play the game the right way and the postseason hunt its a whole different game. How about this.
