THE WAY WITH BREAKING NEWS FIRST AT NOON, LEADING THE WAY ON BREAKING NEWS OUT OF WASHINGTON. A MAJOR DECISION HAS BEEN MADE IN FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP’S PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY CLAIM. THANKS FOR JOINING US. I’M KELLY RIPPIN, AND I’M STEPHEN ALBRIGHT IN THE SUPREME COURT ISSUING AN HISTORIC RULING ON THE FINAL DAY OF ITS TERM RULING. THE PRESIDENT IS IMMUNE FROM CRIMINAL LIABILITY FROM OFFICIAL ACTS. THAT’S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER HERE, BUT IT ALSO LEAVES SEVERAL BIG QUESTIONS UNANSWERED. NEWS FIVE REPORTER AMY LOU JOINS US FROM OUTSIDE THE SUPREME COURT WITH THE DETAILS. THE KEY WORD IN THIS DECISION IS OFFICIAL. THE COURT ESSENTIALLY RULED THAT FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP AND ANY PRESIDENT FOR THAT MATTER, IS ENTITLED TO ABSOLUTE IMMUNITY AS LONG AS THOSE OFFICIAL ACTS WERE DONE WHILE IN OFFICE. THAT ALSO MEANS THAT THIS CASE AGAINST FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP AND THE CHARGES IN ATTEMPTING TO OVERTURN THE 2020 ELECTION WILL BE SENT BACK DOWN TO A LOWER COURT TO DECIDE ON WHAT CONSTITUTES AN OFFICIAL ACT. IT ALSO MEANS THAT THIS TRIAL THAT FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP FACES WILL LIKELY BE DELAYED AS A LOWER COURT JUDGE DECIDES WHAT WILL HAPPEN HERE, WHETHER THOSE INDICTMENTS ARE CONSIDERED OFFICIAL ACTS, AND WHICH ONES SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO PROSECUTION. FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP, TAKING TO SOCIAL MEDIA, RESPONDING, SAYING, QUOTE, THIS IS A BIG WIN FOR OUR CONSTITUTION AND FOR OUR DEMOCRACY AT THE SUPREME COURT. I’M AMY LOU. THE SUPREME COURT ALSO JUST ISSUED RULINGS ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND FREE SPEECH. THE JUSTICES KEPT ON HOLD LAWS FROM TEXAS AND FLORIDA DESIGNED TO LIMIT THE POWER OF COMPANIES LIKE FACEBOOK, TIKTOK AND YOUTUBE TO MODERATE POSTS, BOTH LAWS NOW HEAD BACK TO LOWER COURTS. THEY WERE DESIGNED TO ADDRESS CONSERVATIVE CRITICISM THAT SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANIES WERE CENSORING USERS ON THE POLITICAL RIGHT. THOSE COMPANIES ARGUED THE LAWS VIOLATE THEIR RIGHTS TO SPEECH. YOU CAN READ ALL ABOUT THESE RULINGS AND GO IN DEPTH ON THEM. ON WLWT.COM. ALL RIGHT, TURNING TO WEATHER NOW. BEAUTIFUL START TO JULY. GORGEOUS. COMFORTABLE TEMPERATURES. OF COURSE IT IS JULY. SO WE’RE GOING TO SEE HOW THAT EVOLVES. YES ENJOY JULY 1ST BECAUSE JULY 2ND THREE, FOUR AND PROBABLY THE REST OF THE MONTH WILL BE QUITE DIFFERENT WITH THE HUMIDITY AND STORMS COMING FOR OUR INDEPENDENCE DAY. KATIE. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. WE’VE GOT A LOT OF HUMIDITY IN THE FORECAST, A LOT OF HEAT TODAY. OUR TEMPERATURES ARE IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S. SO IT IS A COOLER THAN AVERAGE DAY VERY COOL START TO JULY. THAT’S THE CASE FOR MOST COMMUNITIES ARE OFFICIALLY AT 71 IN CINCINNATI MIDDLE TO UPPER 60S FROM HILLSBORO TO MOUNT ORAB, 68 IN DILLSBORO AND ABOUT 69 AS YOU HEAD INTO OWENTON. THIS MORNING. SO DEW POINTS AT 40S 50S REALLY UNHEARD OF HERE. AS YOU HEAD INTO THE JULY MONTHS. TYPICALLY VERY HOT, HUMID TIME OF THE YEAR AND IT’S JUST NOT THE CASE TODAY. WE HAVE SOME REALLY REFRESHING TEMPERATURES TO ENJOY AS WE GO THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS. FORECAST HIGHS TODAY, BARELY MAKING IT TO 80. WE GET AROUND 78 TO 79 DEGREES. I THINK SOME OF US REACHING THAT 80 DEGREE MARK. BUT THIS IS MUCH COOLER THAN AVERAGE FOR THIS TIME OF THE YEAR. SO THINGS FEELING REALLY NICE HERE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS WE’RE LOOKING AT SOME SUNSHINE AS WE GO INTO THE AFTERNOON AGAIN, 79 TO 83 THIS EVENING, AND THEN WE’RE LOOKING QUIET AND COOL AS WE HEAD INTO THE MIDNIGHT HOURS TONIGHT. AGAIN, MENTION THAT HUMIDITY IS GOING TO BE RISING. WE’RE IN THAT REFRESHING RANGE AS WE GO THROUGH TODAY, BUT INTO WEDNESDAY. BACK INTO THAT TROPICAL ZONE FOR THE HUMIDITY LEVELS. AND THAT’S REALLY GOING TO AFFECT OUR WEATHER. IT’S GOING TO ALLOW FOR MORE OF A HEAT INDEX VALUE AND IT’S CERTAINLY GOING TO ALLOW FOR MORE THUNDERSTORMS TO PUSH BACK IN THE AREA. AND THAT COULD AFFECT THE HOLIDAY. WE’RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT IN FUTURE CAST COMING UP KELLY AND STEPHEN. ALL RIGHT KATIE THANK YOU. ALSO BREAKING HERE ON WLWT A SHOOTING JUST STEPS AWAY FROM UC’S CAMPUS HAS LEFT THREE PEOPLE DEAD AND TWO OTHERS INJURED. WE’VE BEEN LEADING THE WAY ON THIS STORY ALL MORNING, AND THIS MAP SHOWS WHERE IT HAPPENED. THE CRIME SCENE JUST DOWN THE STREET FROM UC MEDICAL CENTER, A SHORT WALK FROM THE UNIVERSITY. WLWT NEWS FIVE REPORTER BRIAN HAMRICK JOINING US FROM QUARRYVILLE. NOW, BRIAN, THERE IS STILL VERY MUCH AN ACTIVE SCENE OUT THERE. YEAH. KELLY. WELL, IT WAS A VERY VIOLENT CRIME SCENE HERE. PEOPLE DESCRIBE A BARRAGE OF GUNFIRE WHEN IT WAS OVER. FIVE PEOPLE WERE HIT, THREE PEOPLE WERE DEAD. TAKE A LOOK. YOU CAN SEE EVEN NOW, NEARLY TEN HOURS LATER, POLICE ARE STILL OUT HERE AT THE SCENE COLLECTING EVIDENCE. THERE ARE 99 EVIDENCE MARKERS HERE. UH, THIS IS GOING TO BE A VERY COMPLEX CRIME SCENE HERE. UH, AGAIN, LONG AFTER THIS GUNFIRE ERUPTED, POLICE STILL ON THE SCENE. NOW, THIS IS RIGHT BESIDE OF WHAT USED TO BE MECKLENBURG GARDENS AT HIGHLAND AND UNIVERSITY. THE STREETS ARE COVERED WITH BLOOD HERE OR POOLS OF BLOOD, WHERE AT LEAST TWO PEOPLE FELL THEIR TRAILS OF BLOOD ALL OVER THE STREETS ON EITHER SIDE OF MECKLENBURG GARDENS. UH, THERE ARE NO LESS THAN, UH, A DOZEN OFFICERS STILL OUT HERE, STILL AT THE SCENE NOW. THE GUNFIRE BEGAN JUST BEFORE 3 A.M. POLICE ARE STILL TRYING TO DETERMINE A COURSE OF EVENTS. WE’RE TOLD ONE OF THE VICTIMS HIT BY THE GUNFIRE WAS IN A WHEELCHAIR. POLICE ARE ONLY SAYING THAT THE VICTIMS ARE ALL MALE, NO AGES. THIS IS MAYBE 400M FROM THE EMERGENCY ROOM DOORS AT UC. A WITNESS DESCRIBED AT LEAST TEN GUN SHOTS FIRED IN VERY QUICK SUCCESSION. NOW. BOOM, BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM, YOU KNOW. SO I’M LIKE, MAN, ANYBODY THAT HAD ANY IF THEY WAS SHOOTING DIDN’T NOBODY HAVE ANY TIME ROOM TO DUCK BUT TO HAVE IT RIGHT HERE IN YOUR NOT BACKYARD BUT YOUR FRONT YARD, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? YEAH. NOW, POLICE SAW A MAN RUN INTO ONE OF THE HOUSES HERE. EVENTUALLY, THEY WERE ABLE TO GET HIM OUT. HE WAS APPARENTLY ARMED WHEN HE WENT IN. THEY ARE STILL QUESTIONING THAT PERSON. SO FAR, NO ARRESTS, THOUGH. REPORTIN
