degrees. today will be a little warmer than yesterday, but the wind is going to stay with us. also don't forget your seven-day forecast is always scrolling at the bottom of the screen. for

several others. it's one of the deadliest attacks in an eight-month wave of violence. a report now from tel aviv. >> they have two suspects in custody, and what they'll be trying to work out is how exactly they made their way from the home in the west bank inside israel and past and through all of the security barriers and security measures that israel has in place to check that kind of transit. their home town in the southern west bank has been completely closed off, and in another punitive measure by the israeli authorities, 83,000 travel permits issued by israel to palestinians living in the west bank and gaza, giving them special permission in this holy month of ramadan to visit the holy city of jerusalem, all of those permits have now been revoked. as far as israel's security forces and security services go, their priority will be preventing another similar attack. that is really very difficult for them to do. difficult, tough challenge because what happened in tel aviv last night bears all the hallmarks of the kind of attack that has been characteristic of this wave of violence which started last fall. that is young people are the attackers and their appear to be acting on their own without the support of any kind of militant network or terrorist organization. that makes their actions and makes their attacks difficult to anticipate and very difficult to prevent. back to you. >> workers found the body of one of the two workers buried in a landslide in southern mississippi gravel pit late last week. the two men were operating heavy equipment when they were buried in

during sentencing and obtained by news, brock turner caught in lies about drug use and drinking. the proof on his own cell phone. this in stark contrast to the clean cut image he presented to the court, writing to the judge, coming from a small town in ohio, i had never really experienced selling or partying that involved alcohol, and telling probation officers he had never done drugs. but multiple texts references drinking, smoking, weed texting one, i did acid with blake last week. they also show him using a bong. in the months before the sexual asaultd of an unconscious female on stanford's campus, a text message saying do you think i could buy wax so we could do dabs, and before that, he was chased and arrested on campus by police for underaged drinking, caught with a fake

turner withdrawn. his high school counselor saying he should be held accountable. i'my sorry for the additional pain my statement has caused. contradictions new to the court of public opinion, but not to the judge who although under fire for the sentencing still has his supporters. frustrated prosecutors, however, say this isn't justice. >> i had hoped for more time. we fought for more time. the victim. >> that was gadi schwartz reporting. with good behavior, turner could be out of jail by labor day. even so, his lawyers have already begun the process of appealing the sentence. >> officials say a georgia police officer went to the wrong house and mistakenly shot a homeowner. it started when someone called 911 to report yelling and gunshots in georgia just outside of atlanta. officers

over and pulls the toddler out of the water and an 18-year-old gives the toddler cpr and revives her just before paramedics arrive. the toddler is now doing okay. >> philadelphia authorities released
