20 feet of storm surge across southwest louisiana. What does that look like . It shows water all the way up to i10 in places. This is a very lowlying part of the gulf coast. Louisiana, they have lakes. The rivers that flow all the way through that feed into the gulf of mexico. So, the water could easily make it up to i10. Thats where were seeing the water inundation with the storm surge. Could be higher as the storm gets much stronger than that. What were expecting right now. Storms this big will wobble. Theyll wobble to the west and the to east. Theyre not going to flow in a straight line. This is not perfect right here, but given the models we have, this is a landfall along the texaslouisiana line and still a significant storm well inland. Places like shreveport, and little rock will feel the impacts of this as well. This is the area were thinking will get 110mileperhour winds and much higher. And in the winds all the way 75 miles per hour. In places like shreveport. So, this storm is going to be felt far and wide. Tropical Storm Force Winds extend about 175 miles from the center. Were talking about wind and storm surge with this storm. Were talking about devastating wind and storm surge with this one. I mean, thats amazing it might get to a category 5. Thats incredible. Jennifer grey, really important information. We have breaking news out of kenosha, wisconsin right now. For a suspect involved in last nights Fatal Shooting that left two dead, has been taken into custody. The Violent Arrest stem frumz the Police Shooting of an unarmed black man shot multiple times in the back in fronted of his children. So, what do we know about this arrest . Reporter so, we know this is a 17yearold antioch resident, so he is underage. We know that they apprehended him and are looking to charge him arrested him for first degree murder. So, at this point imtime we dont have a lot of details, but only that hes a 17yearold resident, to give you an idea where antioch is compared to kenosha. Its 13 miles or so away. But not actually someone who was from kenosha itself. I do want to show you video. Now, were not sure if this is the same person that has been arrested. But there is video that we have been talking about all day of a man with a large gun. He is wearing the sort of green. He is running down the street as people are chasing him. They have accused him of shooting someone. As he starts to run down the street, he falls on the ground. People are coming at him and then he fires his gun, not once, but two or three times. He hits someone at pointblank range. That person crumples to the ground and does not move after that. Then someone else is also shot in the arm. We know this now because we have just talked to a witness of the shooting who was able to see this whole thing unfold. And he told us. C. J. Hal buliburton. He told us it appeared those were lifethreatening injuries. And the person shot in the arm survived. He was still talking after this. But that he had a huge hole shot through his arm because this was a very highpowered weapon. He also described the person that youre seeing as someone who was quite young. He said at some point he looked very scared and his eyes were like saucers as he was walking with this large gun he described as larger than the man himself, as far as across his body. He also said when this man passed him, he turned to look at c. J. Halliburton, who is Live Streaming this whole thing and said to him i didnt shoot anybody, i didnt shoot anybody. But as hes running down the street, he falls down and you can see on camera, shooting at least tw people at that time. Were trying to ascertain whether or not the 17yearold, who has been apprehended, is indeed the same person shown in this video. We do not have that information at this time. But clearly on the video, there are two people who have been shot there. Because there were a lot of gun shots last night. There were a lot of things going on. And we know there was at least one Person Injured and two dead. Were trying to figure out if its two suspects or one. Is there were violent acts by protesters, buildings, property, damage lit on fire. There was confrontations with police. Then there was also a call that went out among people on facebook for what were described as patriots to come and at least one of the posts i saw on facebook was for patriots to come and defend the city of kenosha from i think they said violent thugs or Something Like that. So, theres both protesters and then theres i think the sheriff described them as vigilantes or selfstyled militia. Not sure how much of an organized militia they were. Bt theyre basically weekend warriors with long guns who came to argue with protesters, defend property, and we dont know exactly who this 17yearold where, he plays into all this. Thats absolutely right. What we do know is he lives in the vicinity, just outside, 13 miles away. We should mention the call to arms to protect property and persons, we actually saw that and we know know people who witnessed what they had on. They talked about them having on a lot of army gear, as they stood around gas stations, fl example. And said they were there to protect property. Protesters, who are taking on tear gas and throwing Water Bottles add police, in light of what happened to jason blake. Then you have this new element that has entered into this protest situation and it went very, very, very wrong and very violent with two people being killed and one person very badly injured. And so, theres a lot of concern, anderson, in the city. Weve been following the world of militias and the world of folks looking at the United States as a place they feel they need protect against people they dont like their actions and there has been a call to arms in this country by some small groups who have tried to create a war a civil war, and theres a lot of that out there as well. So, they do not want to see that happen and pop up in kenosha, but theres a lot of a fear from residents. We even heard from a county supervisor who said residents want to leevl because they dont want their children in the midest of this, for fear this is going to turn much more violent, anderson. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Well bring you that. There you see the podium with the sheriff. We will bring you that lively when it happens, of course. Now,to the startling change in cdc guidelines and who should get tested for the coronavirus. Came as the result of pressure from the Trump Administration. The agency previously recommend recommended get tested. And now they say some people dont need a test, even if theyve been in contact with an infected person. Health and Human Services secretary, well, the admiral, sort of he was at one point referred to as the testing czar. Hes expected to address changes at a briefing this afternoon. What is he saying . Thats right. Sometime in the 2 00 hour, were expecting to hear from admiral about the specifics of what led them to make these changes. But were hearing this is coming from the very tops of the upper ranks of the Trump Administration, from the white house to the hhs, which over seas the cdc directly to re versing, recommending less people get tested, discouraging testing. This falls in line with what weve heard repeated for months from president trump, who believes if theres less testing, there will be less infections. Theres no official in the United States you will find that thinks this is a good idea. One of the top schools in the nation are pushing back on this and want to know the specifics behind this decision. According to this federal health official, they told me this is coming from the upper ranks. And theyre not commenting as to why they changed their recommendations. Hhs did release a statement. I want to read this very quickly. It says this guidance has been updated to reflect Current Evidence and best Public Health pral practices and to further emphasize, protect yourself, your family and the most vulnerable of all ages. It is worth noting prior to this, if you were thought to be around somebody who was possibly infected or you thought to have been exposed, even if you were asymptomatic, you were being encouraged to be tested. I asked if this had anything to do with capacity and they laughed. Clearly hes going to get what he wants and less testing. And hopefully well get more details in what is behind the change in policy. By the way, hes not an admiral. He works for Public Health but hes not a navaly admiral. Hes not in the navy. He says its to reflect Current Evidence. That makes it sound as though theres no studies, peerreviewed studies that are out is there. I talked to several doctors already in the last hour. There are not, as far as we know. So, its unclear why they would even say all the sudden this thing that people are asymptomatic dont need to get tested. Dr. Jake deutsche is an emergency medicine physician. Dr. Deutsche, good to see you. One expert i spoke with last hour says it doesnt pass the commonsense sniff test. Im wondering what your thoughts are. Sglilts its really just bad medicine. We knee the number one situation is they have High Percentage of asymptomatic cases. We need to test them, identify these infections, which are otherwise undetectable. So, advising people not to get tested, just doesnt make sense. Im not going to recommend that to my pasch ngts and we need understand why this was pushed through. Is it a capacity issue . Certainly the labs are being overwhelmed. But we need to make testing more available. That should be the policy pushing through. The cdc specifically mentioned people without symptoms in this new updated guidance. But last month, they say as many as 40 f in america are asymptomatic. Contradictory and i speak from experience, testing thousands a month. Were seeing, we have the low percentage, 1 in new york, 3 4ths of those are asymptomatic. So, thats the critical message here and if we dont have testing available, if we make it confusing for people, which clearly this is just one more layer of confusion for people and what they need do, were not going to head in the right direction. Again brett gerard, the assistant secretary telling cnn the guidance was updated, quote too, reflect Current Evidence. Have you seen any evidence that would support a change . Absolutely not. The number of people getting tested now, the majority are asymptomatic. Many are coming in because they need to get tested for school or travel and they find out theyre actually carrying the virus. So, that goes to show how important it is to do spot testing, randomly test people. And certainly, if someone was in direct contact with somebody sick, get tested. Whats interesting too is this change was made quietly on the website. Again, what is so suspicious about this is not only does it suddenly bring the scientific community, the cdc in line with what the Trump Administration wants, which is less testing. The idea that they would announce such a thing just by changing whats on the website and not actually even making a big deal of it seems extraordinary because such a change like this effects i mean, the idea that they with just, in the night, put it on their website, seems surprising. Incredible. I mean, theres so many examples of incredibly bad practices and management of this crisis. But what speaks to me is the press conference in the rose garden given the other day. There wasnt significant testing as well. Some were test ed if they were further away. That speaks to the agenda for this administration. And as a person taking care of people sick and for the 5 Million People who have been infected, we need to make sure we do whats best for our population and thats continue to testing people. Appreciate your time. Thank you very much. More on our breaking news right now. Hurricane laura, a category 4 storm, set to hit the u. S. Tonight. Plus, we are moments away by a News Conference in cinegotiatau. [narrator] did you just reward yourself for spending a perfectly reasonable amount of time on the couch with tacos from grubhub . Grubhubs gonna reward you for that with a 5 off perk. doorbell rings [crowd] grubhub fireworks exploding Bed Bath Beyond has announced its laying off 2800 employees. The latest retailer suffering challenges because of the pandemic. The companys previously announced it was closing 200 stores later this year. Reporter im lucy, a day after maskless protesters stormed the idaho state capitol, authorities arrested and wield antigovernment activist out of the building, still tied to a rolling chair after he refused to leave the auditorium. They report bundy and others have demanded gallery seats to address coronavirus, despite efforts to limit crowd sizes due the pandemic. They are demanding an end to the state of emergency declared by republican governor, brad little. Hes since posted bond and awaiting a court date. Reporter in new york city. Health officials can now link 60 covid cases to a wedding that took places. But some of the people who tested positive, werent even guests at the wedding. They were someone who had contact with someone who had contact with someone at the wedding. They link to a nursing home, both 100 miles away from where the wedding took place. One person has died from the outbreak and maines governor saying, quote, one person, one contact can light a match and spark a fire that we may be unable to put out. Thanks to all our correspondents. Unrest in wisconsin has quickly turned into a political flash point. Trump won by just over 200 points. It could be central to a outcome that the state trump won by fewer than 200 votes. And now theyre using the weekend to shed a spotlight on violence. So, how will voters react to the president s calls to what he calls law and order . Michael smerconish joins us now. We saw black lives Matter Movement featured at the dnc and now we heard from the mcluskys, who were guntoting people outside their home, saying democrats want to do away with the suburbs altogether. The president tweeted federal Law Enforcement and National Guard are headed to kenosha. Both are playing out in real time. So, the president , anderson, is portraying himself as the thin blue line that separates suburb suburbanites across the country from what theyre watching on television, either in kenosha, portland, seattle before hand, a little in chicago as well. I think the mcluskys is a rorschach test for this campaign. If they line up on the side of the guntoting couple from missouri, theyre more likely to be trump supporters. And if theyre aligned more with the wlak lives matter protesters in the frame, then theyre largely democratic. This is something the Trump Campaign sees as a means of winning back suburbanites, without whom he cant get home. So interesting they were focusing on the mccluskys. We have a 17yearold in custody with police after a call went out on facebook for armed people to defend the city, defend property, two people were shot to death last night. Things can go awfully wrong when theres a lot of people with heavy weaponry in a very chaotic and in the midst of a chaotic protest. Right. And i guess your point is we really dont even know what the facts were for that recent shooting incident. I dont know that thats going to matter in terms of how that is handled. Theres skant Political Data as to how this plays out. But there are interesting findings. A cbs survey found 34 of americans believe that the aftermath of the george floyd incident has gone a bit too far. And im sure thats a number the Trump Administration and the campaign are paying attention to. Something else interesting about the data. Minnesota, at least according to a real clear politics average, closer than pennsylvania or michigan, albe it only by a couple of points. But it begs the question why would minnesota be closer if the data is accurate, than those other battleground states . Im sure they want to read into that and say this is our winning hand and were going to pursue it . Interesting. Appreciate it.

Her husband had been a High School Football coach and it turned out, one of his former players came up with an answer. Granted inNational Guard to come in. We have continually talked to them about the guard and the guard has continued its numberininumbers to help us with the looting and violence that has occurred. Weve had the situation where we have called for a curfew, which is 7 00 to 7 00. And that curfew is there to protect the public. We need to make sure people are off the streets so law enfor enforcement can do their job. I think because you call curfew, its there to give tickets to everyone. Its not. Lirl its there to protect the public. And that is so important at this time. Kenosha is a community that, in the long run, will recover. We will Work Together to resolve our issues. Well work with the Minority Community to continue to move forward. And we will make this a better place to live. But it will take time. It will take he
