Thats when the gel was placed on lockdown the area near the lower ramps were evacuated here at the jail. Now the Sheriffs Office says the deputies gun was properly store take a listen. Normal. Standard protocol for any officers or deputies that are bringing someone into custody is to a drive down the ramp into the secure facility. Secure the weapon firearms ammunition and tools inside of their patrol vehicle either in the trunk or the back in a safe location and then proceed to bring the suspect into the actual facility. So this we the officers handgun what was taken thoughts are. Did follow all the proper protocol and Safety Measures to secure his weapon.

When the pandemic is drastically changing the landscape of San Franciscos Fort Mason Center. Its virtually a ghost town kron fours taylor, the sacking reports. What was once a cultural destination prepandemic is now deserted where basically a ghost town because theres just nothing going on here inside San Franciscos Fort Mason Center. You can usually find Live Performances Art Galleries food and drinks in addition to weekly events and conventions but since the pandemic the arts schools here were forced to close their doors now at the school. Were just quote so theres no activity at all. But before we start with the activities for the toddlers in the morning. Then the school would open for less from Group Classes of one of the afternoon and go all the way till 11 at night. Overall we probably had anywhere from 700 to 800 students, each quarter dennis critter is the Program Director of Blueberry School of music which has been at the Fort Mason Center since 1978 instead of doing in person classes theyre now doing lessons on life struggling on the financial front were also doing things that we can do there are expenses wherever we can. I wont say or. Probably running at about 2 thirds. Our usual. Revenue meanwhile bats improv which provided Live Performances every weekend is now down to 20 of its typical revenue, according to its managing director in some schools wont come back at all city college of San Francisco is closing its decades old art campus here, the friends of the San Francisco Public Library also permanently close its bookstore and the San Francisco Art Institute will sublease its space the closures in canceled events have had a trickle down effect in the few neighboring businesses still open lack of conventions and renegade the craft fairs.

And theyll soon begin doing socially distant Music Lessons in good morning, welcome back theres a brand new prime time newscast coming to cable on wgn america. Its going to be powered by stories from next our news stations across the country and that includes right here at kron 4. Its called news it will premiere on september first and joining us now from chicago in their brandnew studio are the anchors rob nelson and albert ramon good morning guys how you doing. And marty good morning to you good to see you tell us a little bit about the big change in news nation compared to other cable newscast viewers might be used to. I think we all know that you know you watch cable news in prime time and so much of what you get is opinion driven news, the anchor kind of give you his or her. Take on the world were staying out of that lane were kind of going back to a very basic what im calling it just the facts, maam approach to news and to do a balanced. Journalism here and not get into the other lanes of of opinion driven. More talk show format news. So thats one thing to were based here in chicago, not new york not d c were bringing this to the country from the heartland which i think is a different perspective and a chance to kind of maybe shine a light on stories otherwise would be forgotten or or overlooked so those are 2 things i think we really will make a stand apart and its a much more of a local news format on a National Stage great weather coverage from mister ramon here yes, so the Weather Center is right behind us actually want to take a look at this beautiful studio this issue 3 here. At wgn tv in chicago, this set floats around theres about 5 different positions that we can use it telling that the big stories of the day and if the big story like we saw the last couple of days is weather related like hurricane isaias thats what were going to focus in on you should see the first 20 minutes of the newscast. Theres so much news and theres a lot of news out there thats getting lost on a daily basis by by the other guys that are really honestly only focusing on a handful of stories expect salute very very different and broadcast for sure one other thing thats different about this is that youre going to be using reporters from across the country. Absolutely nexstars blast in a couple of ways number one, a 110 news rooms local tv stations across the country at 5400 journalists across america. So that is a huge. Resource for us and were going to be leaning into those affiliates because no one knows Community Better than the reporters and journalists who live there who who cover that council will be borrowing elements from affiliates and by using stories from affiliates and reporters there to help tell stories and to local stories that could possibly be of National Interest or help us better tell a story here from chicago so were going to really take a lot of our affiliates around the country and utilize them, im going give their stories are issues a national platform, not only will you have reporters from across the country but i understand that you also have 5 burroughs based across the country as well tell us a little bit about that. Yes so we have correspondents from the west coast to the midwest to the east coast and theyll be kind of fill in the gap 110 tv stations, 4400 journalists.
