believe are victims to arrive. we re hearing as many as 8 to 20 victims, but there s no word on the severity of the injuries. the police department right now not commenting until they see how this all plays out. we do know that there are a number of cruisers in the area. the s.w.a.t. team there as well. they re redirecting traffic away from that sikh temple which is what appears to be a very main highway in oak creek. the sikh temple is on howell avenue. it s a large facility. it s a relatively new facility built about five years ago. an affiliate of ours, wtmj who s bringing us those aerials said that at least they had seen one person in the parking lot. others crouched behind police cars. but then as we were listening to the feed coming in, the helicopter did pull back. but you can see there are some armed s.w.a.t. team members there on the ground as this all unfolds. traffic stopped in and around the area. they don t know how many injuries there are, if there are any injur
65 in new orleans. i like the way you say that. nawlins. nawlins. well, president obama cooed and congratulated the students taking part in his second annual white house science fair. but he really got a kick out of this extreme marshmallow cannon. it was made by an eighth-grader named joey. the young kid is from phoenix. the president helped him prime the device, then stood back as joey explained the trigger mechanism and finally launched the marshmallow into the drapes of the state dining room. mr. obama rushed to assure everybody it was safe, especially the secret service. no marshmallow bombs going on in the white house. very smart kid. well done, joey. entertained the president. more news coming up after the break. hit me with your best shot why don t you hit me with your best shot why don t you hit me with your best shot go out without my covergirl. are you crazy?
it was a committee that was set up by congress, and all eyes were on them near the end of the process, he was very clear that there would be no exit ramps. no way we would get out of this sequestration, and so it was their job to act, and they didn t. yeah. he has been clear that he s going to push against trying to pull back the trigger mechanism for sure, but it does fall back on him ultimately, he is the president. and he ll continue to lead. that s why today he s going to scranton, pennsylvania, the home of our vice president and he s looking forward to talking directly to the american people about the importance of extending and expanding the payroll tax cuts so that we can have $1,000 and hopefully under the president s plan $1,500 in the pockets of hard working americans. so the president obviously wants to move forward with payroll tax cuts. he believes that s the way to get the economy moving again. jon kyl on the republican side, very skeptical about that.
