vernon avenue. a neighbor who heard the gunshots came out to help and was also shot. police are still looking for the suspects. two virginia tech students made their first court appearance on monday

event is now in the books. let's see what they decided. fox news says the democratic caucus is still too close to call. both hillary clinton and bernie sanders each received 50 percent of the vote. for the republicans, donald trump is front runner. ted cruz won the caucus with 28 percent of the vote. trump gained 24 percent and florida senator marco rubio was a close third with 23 percent of the support. the results have already led two candidates to drop from the race. both democrat martin o'malley and republican mike huckabee have quit the campaign.s carolin shively has more from des moines. 1:07-1;13the iowa caucuses deliver some big surprises for both the democrats and the republicans. on the democratic side --- the race is now down to just hillary clinton bernie sanders... after martin o'malley suspended his presidential campaign.clinton says: "i am excited about really getting into the debate with senator sanders about forward to fight for us and clinton was expecting a big win in iowa... and, while it was too close to call last sanders is claiming victory for having such a tight race. sanders says: "as i think about what happened tonight, i think the people of iowa have sent a very profound message, to the political establishment." for the republicans --- after donald trump led the polls for months... texas senator ted cruz scored a surprise victory. cruz says: "iowa has sent notice that the republican nominee and the next president of the united states will not be chosen by the media. it was an upset for trump who was hoping for but it may not on last week's moines.trump says: "we get the republican nomination and easily beat hillary or bernie." now with on to new hampshire... just a week away. in des moines, shively, fox news high pressure wedges southward today into tonight. a strong coldfront will arrive on wednesday bringing widespread punxsutawney, punxsutawney, pennsylvania is the place to be today as thousands gather to get a glimpse of punxsutawney phil in celebration of groundhog day. in just over an hour, we will find out whether or not phil will see his shadow this year. since 2000, phil has seen his shadow in all but three years. of course everyone is gathering in punxsutawney to find out if we will have to winter or if we can expect an early start to spring. however, as meteorologist taylor kanost found out, punsutawney phil isn't nearly as accurate as you might think. that's right. you would think with all of the fanfare surrounding groundhog day that there would be something to phil's forecating skills. it turns out that's not the case at all. since this tradition began back in 1887, phil has seen his shadow 102 times and has not seen his shadow only 17 times. that means we would usually expect winter weather to extend well into the month of march. in reality, the split between an extended winter and an early spring is close to 50/50. so let's look at how phil's predictions compare to virginia's weather in february and march. determining if the weather is "winter-like" or not is kind of subjective, but for the sake of argument let's say the threshold for winter weather in virginia is around 40 degrees. since records have been kept, phil has correctly forecast virginia's weather 55 incorrectly 61 times. that means phil is only accurate 47 percent of the time. that percentage will put you in the hall of fame in baseball, but in regards to forecasting the weather, that is not very good. correctly guessed six more for virginia the weeks of winter for virginia the past two years. historically speaking though, you have a better chance of guessing correctly with a coin flip than following phil's lead. taylor kanost wfxr coming up-what should you do to get ready for the next big snow storm?in today's ag life report- experts explain the past couple of weeks has been a rollercoaster ride when it came to the weather.... snow - to temps in the sixties! changes - can take

"when you start talking about snow in feet, that's when you start worrying about barn structures collapsing due to the weight of the snow. " luckily - stacy simmons says - there were no claims from any of his farmers - after the storm that dumped a foot of snow across our region. now that most of the snow has melted - simmons says - now is the time to inspect barns and other buildings. stacy simmons "see if there's any damage, any rafters sagging, or any damage like that, even if the building didn't collapse, it could do damage to it."just like home or car insurance - not everything is covered for most farmers. collapse coverage often costs extra - along with added winter perils - which insures livestock lost during weather weather. stacy simmons "you're selling livestock, buying new equipment, you need to sit down at your renewal and go over your policy."that way - what matters most is covered. and - you're not paying for something - you no longer need. with the ag life report, bill wadell, wfxr good news this morning for chipotle lovers! it appears the restaurant chain's e-coli outbreak is finally over! dozens of customers in several states reported getting sick after eating at the fast food chain. to win back customers, the restaurant is planning some deep discounts for the upcoming big game. next monday, chipotle will briefly close all of its restaurants for a health and safety meeting with employees. it's about time the taco...camam out of its shellll unleash the power of dough. give i it pop. that sound. like nails on a chalkboard. but listen to this: (family talking) that's a different kind of sound. the sound of the weekend. unleash the power of dough. give it a pop.
