Raleigh police protective association. The officer is a member of the group. He has our full support and we are 100 behind him. We separate this officer and feel like he will be xiong rated when the facts come out. Raleigh police have said officer witty was pursuing the 24yearold who was wanted on a felony drug charge on foot on brag street much the officer fired his weapon. Denkins was killed and a gun was found near the body. It was a terrible situation but the officer did what he had to do to defend and protect himself. Lauren freeman will decide if the officers use of deadly force was justified under the law. Unfortunately these events often test a community. We want to be fair. Now the Raleigh Police department will release its public report within the next five days to the city manager that should be coming in probably by monday they are telling me and also the state bureau of investigation will release its report to the wake County District attorney and that could take several months. Back to you. Amanda lamb live in raleigh. Thanks for the update. The state na naacp is calling for a truthful unbiased investigation following yesterdays shooting. Whats the communitys reaction one day later . The community simply wants answers. They want to know exactly what happened here yesterday around noon. You can see a memorial has been setup and people are here paying tribute to 24yearold akeel denkins and earlier today the North Carolina state na c. C. P reverend William Barber was vowing to ask the right goes and get the answers the community is looking for the he had a criminal history and ran when he was approached by police yesterday. A warrant and record is not a license to kill. He said the key to the community having trust is getting the truth about exactly what happened. Later on this afternoon the Community Leaders in this area came together at an area church to talk about the shooting. Its very important. If we dont come together well continue to fall apart. United we stand, divided we crumble. Ive been shocked by everything thats going on in our country with incidents like this and i never thought it would happen in raleigh and now that it has i feel like i got justice for anyone in our community. Back out here live you can see this group of individuals have come together Holding Hands saying a prayer. Yesterday there was a real sense of tension in this community. Today you get the sense that folks are just looking to get the truth whatever the truth may be. Raleigh police have offered very few details so far about exactly what happened here yesterday except to say that a man was killed and that a gun was found very close to denkins body. We hope to get more answers as the Investigation Continues on. Investigators have still not said how many shots were fired and where he was shot on the body. Back to you. Sloan live in raleigh, thank you. Charges are pending against a driver who led troopers on a chance through vance and wake counties this morning. The chase ended in the parking they stopped the stolen dodge charger. A couple patrol cars were damaged in the process. White was pulled over for speeding and took off initiating the chase. A crash caused back ups that stretched for miles. Sky 5 flew over the scene at noon today. An suv and sedan had heavy damage. At least one person was taken to the hospital. Today is the first day on the job for Margaret Spellings but she didnt get a warm welcome. Students and faculty protested her hiring today saying she is the wrong fit for the job. This is not the way she wanted to start her new job. No gerald and shes some what taken back by the criticism shes received on full display here at the center of campus on uncs campus earlier today as students and faculty gather to protest her they take issue with spellings resume mainly where she implemented no child left behind and criticized as a board member for the university of phoenix which is a for profit on line school. Now that she started they are focusing on raising awareness about her past and protecting the future of the system. Some students say protestors should focus on working with spellings. Its about awareness and well really forcing the board of governors and Margaret Spellings to include Student Voice in a meaningful way. Weve been excluded. Not trying to demonize her and understanding that she may have her flaws but we have to work with her if we want to have a good unc system. Those who couldnt attend todays walk out and protest were asked to show their support in other ways. Faculties were asked to hold classes on the quad. I sat down with Margaret Spellings about an hour ago there at her new Office Coming up tonight at 5 30 well hear what she hayes to say in response to all of the criticism shes been receiving. Well look forward to that. Ariel clay live in chapel hill thank you. Unc finds itself on the losing side of a lawsuit over how it handled sexual assault. Her case had been mishandled and the school violated state law by not allowing her lawyers to question the man she accused of assaulting her. The school claimed it was immune to the suit in the state agency. The justices were split two to one sending it back to Orange County court to be heard. Clarence thomas asked a question burg oral arguments and hasnt spoken in a decade. Lasted several minutes prompting gasps from the courtroom. The case was whether a prior sexual assault. The Missile Defense drill simulates rockets hitting a bus in order to test the medical response of militaries. Also computer simulated training for disaster response. The u. S. And israel hold this training every two years. Today governor mccrory made a connect in the North Carolina headquarters in raleigh. Some of your facilities throughout North Carolina were not sufficient for your training requirements. A lot of the armories were built right after or during world war world war ii and havent changed since then. The bond includes 79 million for three new reasoningal training centers.

Not sure when hes going back to the u. S. But i got to think hes got to go through reacclimation type of thing before he gets on a plane. He wants to jump in the swimming pool. It will take a while before he does that. Hell be helpless like a baby. And he missed out on all of the girl scouts cookies. Im sure theres a box of thin mints for him somewhere. Lets get into whats trending. North carolina is ranked in the top ten states where millennials could sway the anyone born between 1982 and 2000 the largest generation in the country but have the lowest turn out of any group in the election. The youth vote in the 2012 president ial election exceeded the margin of victory and a shift in how that group voted millennials could have effected the outcome. North carolina was on that list because young population votes differently than the older population. 76 voted for Barrack Obama and other age groups voted for john mccain. You got to get out to vote. Thats a cool thing to be able to do finally so take advantage of it. So you know when you are on a road trip and you got to make a pit stop and it ends up being 30 miles away. This is cool google maps is adding a new feature to download or find out where the pit stops are. Tap on the magnifying glass and Grocery Stores or coffee shops, gas stations but it lets you know where the next pit stop is. I remember coming back from florida on i95 thinking when is the next rest stop. Had to go on line and look. And you tell your child youll get there in a minute. When i see this next topic i think of the scene from Gilligans Island where the professor made the contraption to wash the clothes with the stationary bike. This is pretty cool. Students from the national in china came up with a version of that concept. Why not do laundry while exercising. Instead of a wheel its a bike washing machine. It looks small and how long you would have to pedal to complete a load of laundry especially during the spin cycle. So how many people is it going to take because i dont think i you get in shape and wash your clothes at the same time. Thats an awesome idea. Pretty cool but im too lazy. So the pants you are washing will be too small because the thighs will be bigger after washing them. And youll probably do several loads. If you are by yourself a Single Person college kids or whoever they dont have much. Its a cool design. Looks good. Thats funny. We have links to the story on facebook. Let us know if theres a topic thats trending. Send us a tweet or message on facebook. Maybe you want to know what programs are on wral. Follow us on twitter for all of your favorite shows and people on them. Its handy go to your twitter feed right there. Repair work under way on the coast. What crews are quickly working to fix. Plus Hilary Clinton and donald trump. Houston on one of the most important days from the president ial primary. Share his views on seven candidates 12 states and hundreds of delegates up for grabs. This is super tuesday. With all of the states participating it is the biggest day of the president ial campaign so far. Grabs texas is senator ted cruzs home state. Steve has the latest on the voting. Steve . High linda and gerald. Thanks. First of all let me say how pleased i am as an nbc reporter to be on wral, such a power house in North Carolina coming to you tonight live from ted cruz election headquarters stafford, texas outside houston where cruz needs to celebrate a win tonight. Texas senator ted cruz cast his vote on a super tuesday thats do or die for him. Any candidate who cannot win his own state has real problems. State polls show leads over donald trump. I voted for ted cruz primarily because i dont want donald trump to get those electoral votes in texas. Need to stop his momentum. But trump could sweep ten of the eleven super tuesday states. He and Chris Christie are talking duff. These guys dont know anything. They have no clue whats going on. The next two weeks his desperate opponents will say and do anything to try to dare him down. Americas top elected republican tried today. House Speaker Paul Ryan on trump not reputing the kkk. If a person wants to be the nominee of the Republican Party there can be no games. They must reject any group or cause that is built on bigotry. Marco rubio trying to hold on two weeks until the vote in florida called trump unelectable. And Hilary Clinton continued to talk against him. Like trump clinton could win every super tuesday state but one, vermont where Bernie Sanders hopes for a big turn out and other liberal states. If theres not we are probably going to struggle. Like ted cruz if he loses cruz and rubio and sanders could get some delegates tonight but it will never be enough delegates until they start winning contests like ted cruz has back in iowa and could be doing again today here in his home state. From ted cruz headquarters outside houston im steve handlesman from wral news. Linda back to you. Your introduction was so nice steve. We will be forward to working with you and battle of the blues this weekend you have a dog in that fight. We hear you are indeed. [laughter] thanks steve we appreciate it live in houston. Some local perspective on super tuesday we turn to dr. David mcclellan. Thank you for being with us. Could Hilary Clinton and donald trump run away with it to be. They could win the race. They couldnt get all of the delegates but if theres a could be very difficult for Bernie Sanders on the democratic side and any one of the republicans to catch up. Ted cruz needs to win his home state of texas. If he doesnt what kind of pressure is going to be on him to step down. Its embarrassing to lose your own state. It would be difficult to see a way through it but marco rubio has not won a state yet. Hes looking towards virginia for a pick up. The republican establishment if you want to call him that is looking for a one on one race. Could a trump sweep effectively give us one if one of the other two candidates bows out because of it. It could. Donald trump wants both rubio and cruz to stay in the race because the longer he stays in a three way race he matches up nicely so again we could see a two person race if trump takes all 11 states and then its still going to be a difficult task. The best perhaps cruz or rubio could hope for is to keep enough delegates from getting the nomination and going to cleveland for the nomination. Lets talk about delegates. Does Bernie Sanders have a path if he gets bombed again tonight. Hilary clinton has the superdelegates but hes looking to small delegate states. Hilary clinton is going to pick up a lot of delegates through the south. Shes got the infrastructure in place and does so well with minority voters its hard to see Bernie Sanders catching up. Interesting to see what happens and have all of that coverage here on wral. Thank you doctor. Thank you gerald. Count on wral for complete coverage of super tuesday and nbc nightly news with lester holt begins at 6 30 and tune into for the news at midnight because of the basketball game for a complete wrap up. Linda . Thanks gerald. Trouble on the coast. The beacon isnt flashing. Its supposed to rotate like this creating a flash of light the problem is the turn table that rotates is stuck. The issue popped up on social media this weekend. The National Park service owns the building but the coast guard maintains the lights and crews are working to fix the problem. The Rolling Stones will play a free concert in cuba. Its the first time to perform in the country and the biggest act to play in cuba since 1959. The concert is march 25 three days after president obama visits havana expected to draw a huge audience. Its amazing how a gentleman that old can move that way. Hes not old but still older than people that ive seen that age move. Its like he doesnt have joints sometimes too. Gosh. He can do it. Still to come encouraging news about the flu vaccine this season. Its working better. However parents shouldnt let their guard down against the virus. In some cases the virus has turned deadly.
