She walked into the courtroom here on crutches, surrounded by deputies. It was the first time shes come 15yearold ortiz since investigators say he ran her over in a stolen car last friday. Sergeant marcy pierce, surrounded by Orange County sheriffs deputies, walking on crutches and still in a lot of pain, four days after she was run over by a car while serving a warrant. The Sheriffs Office says the 15yearold ortiz was behind the wheel. Ortiz is charged with attempted murder and aggravated battery on a Law Enforcement officer. He stood before a judge for the first time this afternoon. Investigators say the teen had custody orders on burglaryrelated charges. When pierce went to arrest him last friday, the Sheriffs Office says he deliberately hit her with the stolen car, causing injuries to her head, back, hand and foot. Ortiz turned himself in to authorities yesterday. Pierce, leaving the courtroom in teen who she says tried to kill her. Instead, only thanking the people who have supported her during this difficult time. I love my guys, my agency, my family, and my support, its incredible.

Theyll use that time to figure out if they have enough evidence to charge him as an adult. See how emotional she was being in court today. Amanda castro reporting live for us. Thank you. Also developing right now, president obama keeps a Campaign Promise. He outlined his plans today to shut down Guantanamo Bay in cuba. Congress took steps to make sure the president has to go but first, president obama says he does not think the center is working anymore. President obama announced his proposal to fulfill a Campaign Promise and close the detention facility. There are none of them still held at gitmo. The remaining would be moved to a facility here in the u. S. The administration is looking at 13 different locations, including existing prisons in south carolina, kansas and colorado. He says the move will save the country millions of dollars. The Defense Department estimates this plan, compared to keeping guantanamo open, would lower costs by up to 85 million a year. Over 10 years, it would generate savings of more than 300 million. Over 20 years, the savings would be up to 1. 7 billion. It will take a onetime cost of as much as 475 million to getting an approval from congress, something that appears unlikely. Speaker of the house paul ryan issued a statement saying the president failed to include details required by law, including the exact cost and location of an alternate facility. He says congress will not change the law to allow terrorist detainees on american soil. Just in to the newsroom, an update of the zika virus here in florida.

Breaking right now, sky 6 is flying over a fire in Volusia County. This is on state road 415 and ashby cove lane in New Smyrna Beach. We do not know if this is a brushfire or Something Else has we want to get out to photojournalist dave sprung. What are you seeing at this point . Im only seeing a little bit of it. Im going to zoom out as much as i can. Theres a lot of rain out here so my lens has a lot of water on it. Its stretching a good ways. Im going to guess 30 to 50 acres. Theres one structure in Volusia County and sheriffs and firefighters were on the scene. They were able to stop the fire as it encroached the house. Winds have shifted a little bit and its now blowing the flames away from that. In the path of the fire, im not seeing any other structures in the way, except way over here. The sheriffs helicopter did just depart the area and informed us as they were leaving that they do have the fire under control, which is very good news. But theres a lot of fuel out here for the fire to eat. As that happens, the fire will grow. Well stay out there and pass along the information to you. Glad to see the rain out there. At least thats happening. Thats a positive note there. There. Lots of flames there. Well continue to check in with sky 6. But first, tonight we want to introduce you to parents heading back to class so they can help with homework. Yeah, and were not talking about high school homework, either. Parents of kindergarteners need a refresher here . Yes. I can speak on that firsthand. Yes, they do. It doesnt matter what your degree is in or if you have one, the way math and science is taught now, its so different than how it was when we were in school, thats why adults are going back to class themselves to get results and help their kids succeed. It starts with addition and subtraction. The moms and dads are learning computer reading skills at parent university. Can you teach mom . Yeah, sometimes. Shes back in class with her kindergartener, nicole. We now get the understanding of how theyre being taught so we can help them better and not feel frustrated. School districts across the country offer the classes for teachers say theyre very popular. This one on long island had parents eager to participate. Did you ever think you would have to go back to school to help your kids with school . No. I finished my masters degree five years ago and i thought that was it. Its not just how to use technology. The way reading and math is taught, its so different for parents, they need a refresher. What do they call the things with the circles, the number of bonds. They started classes to learn more about the common core curriculum which sets the National Standards for english and math. Now theyre talking about a variety of topics. We need to bring you in with us, bring you into the fold we tell parents, and help you so youre successful at home in supporting your child. Thats why parents are prepared to continue their education. If theyre moving at the pace theyre moving now in kindergarten, i can only imagine what its going to be like for second, third or fourth grade. The challenge, these parents are determined as well. Experts say the biggest difference in teaching is technology and how students learn visually and neither is expected to go away. My daughter brought home her first kindergarten math packet. Its hard for parents. Its different and if youre not using a lot of that stuff in your daily life, you forget a lot of it. Or you never learned it in the first place.
