With stories that matter to you,
Fox 6 News at 9 starts right now with breaking news.
And that breaking news is coming out of Milwaukee.
Let's go right to Christina Van Zelst.
She was live near 76th
and Hadley where police were on the scene of a crash.
Christina, what are you seeing?
Yeah, Kim, this is at the intersection of 76th and Villard.
And we see a lot of police officers right now.
Forensics is taking photos of the parking lot
in the laundromat that you see on your screen there.
we don't see any vehicles crashed
from this vantage point we did just get to the scene about
10 minutes ago so we are still trying
to figure out what police are investigating here there is a
group of people standing at the intersection uh they
do seem emotional we've heard some yelling
but it's unclear what they are upset about here
on the scene again this is 76 and Villard we are
working to get more information here
but again multiple Milwaukee police vehicles on this scene
forensics is here now taking pictures of the laundromat parking lot
which they have entirely
blocked off so when we get more information
from this scene we will keep you posted but that's what
we know from here reporting live
in Milwaukee Christina Van Zelst Fox 6 News yeah that looks
like quite the scene there all right Christina we'll keep watching
that well to other news now
a dream come true they never saw coming two dads
are heading to the World Series game one all thanks
of their kids good kids before heading out
to breaking news Christina Van Zelst filed this report
on Brewers fans who were left in tears i don't even know what to say
first disbelief what is this and
then reality hits these Brewers
fans are going to Game One
of the World Series thanks to their kids Brewers
are uniting families all over the country Jimmy
Dettman lives in South Dakota, but his roots are in Milwaukee.
As a kid, I used to ride my bikes
to County Stadium. The longtime Brewers fan looked
at tickets for the World Series and
couldn't justify the price,
but his kids had their own plan and surprised him with a ticket.
Both kids serve in the military.
His daughter is in D.C. and his son is overseas. We've been
long distance as a family for a really long time now
and so just being able to connect this way
has been really beautiful.
They weren't the only family knocking it out of the park. When the
emotions poured out, there wasn't a dry eye in the house.
Miguel Maldonado started watching the
Brewers in 1970. His family grew up going to games.
Maldonado wasn't able to go to the World
series in 1982. That changed this time around.
A lot of emotion. A lot of emotion. I never expected
that. His sons surprising him with the memory of a lifetime.
There's so many things that they
sacrificed while we were growing up
and all of that and it's just so awesome to be able to do
this for him. Both families didn't just hand dad a gift,
they threw a curveball. Christina
Van Zylstra reporting. What an unbelievable gift.
Both families say the reality of the Brewers
making it to the World Series is already overwhelming
and that processing the fact
that they will be at Game One, it still does not feel real, but it is.
Right now the Brewers are
still waiting to learn who they're going to take
on in the World Series. Okay, the Rays and the
Guardians are currently playing Game Six of the ALCS
and right now the Rays are winning by a score
three to one in the sixth. The Rays win.
They'll play the Brewers in the World Series. If Cleveland
wins, they will be a do or die game seven.
They'll have to play a do or die game seven in Tampa
tomorrow. And if you're still looking for tickets
for Game One of the World Series, you might want
to sell your car. Ticket prices still remain high.
Right now, the cheapest tickets here in Milwaukee
starting at around $2,700 for standing room seats.
And if you're looking to sit, be prepared to pay $3,000 or more.
Okay, and people living in one Whitefish Bay neighborhood,
well, they are showing their Brewers Pride this way.
This is along Lexington Drive.
You can see people along the entire street
are displaying inflatable Bernies in front of their homes.
These are the same homes that decorate
with the inflatable Santas during the Christmas season.
They've got a good chain going on in that neighborhood, don't they?
Right.
Here's the Amazon link.
Okay, exactly.
Get on board.
Wow, and they all do.
All right, here's a look at the World Series schedule.
Games 1 and 2, Friday and Saturday at AmFam Field.
And then the series moves to, who knows,
the home of the American League champion.
That will be for games 3 and 4.
Then, if necessary, game 5.
That's also on the road.
Games 6 and 7 would be back here in Milwaukee if needed.
All games, they start at 7 p.m.
And guess where you can watch them?
That's the best part.
Right here on Fox 6.
And we're going to have so much fun throughout the week,
throughout the World Series.
We're going to party like we haven't done this in 44 years.
Again, all those games.
Our coverage starts at 4.
Then a special Brewers edition of Fox 6 News at 5.
First pitch at 7.
Stay with us again throughout this series.
And a 1.
And a 2.
and a three. The Packers were on a Lawrence Welk winning streak
and their defense is a big reason
why. Tim Van Voren's got all the variety here in studio with more.
Tim. Yeah, kick it in Kim and
Ben. That defense is holding down opponents on the scoreboard.
Green Bay's allowed only 34 points
combined over the past three weeks.
Not coincidentally, that's the three straight wins
we're talking about. New defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon has
his guys taking away the
football. That's one of the best ways for any defense to succeed.
Last night, the secondary
giving Dak Prescott all sorts of problems,
leading to inevitable interceptions. In one instance,
Cowboys knocking on the door for a score
of some type. All of a sudden, Evan Williams
has the Packers in possession and going the other way.
We say when it rains, it pours,
and kind of was in a little bit of a drought to start the year,
but yeah, definitely come in
bunches. When you get a couple,
they all start to come all at once, so yeah, definitely feel good
about the way we're taking the ball away,
and we keep doing it at this rate, we're going to find
ourselves in a lot of games.
Well, he's right about that, and Evan Williams is playing at a Pro Bowl
level himself so far this season,
showing up repeatedly around the ball and putting up one of
the top tackle totals in the game so far.
Jonathan Gannon definitely seems to be
a key voice in all of this, refurbishing
his own reputation on that side of the ball after
his stint as the Cardinals head coach, so kind of a rising
tide floating all boats right now, Ben.
Yeah, the script has been flipped here.
All right, Tim, thanks.
The Packers, they're right back at it Sunday
for a division showdown against the Lions,
and our coverage starts at 10 in the morning
with kickoff at 3:25 right here on Fox 6.
Be sure to stick around after the game
because the sports team, they haven't slept,
and we're not letting them sleep.
We've got a special edition of Fox 6 News plus
the Fox 6 Sports Blitz at 10:30.
They'll have a few things to talk about.
Just a few.
All right, let's turn to weather.
We're wondering if anyone else is struggling with,
do I turn on the heat or no?
I need the AC.
Windows.
I mean, I've done like all three of those things,
I think, in the last 24 hours.
Yeah.
It's blankets at night, windows open during the day,
and in the morning you might need a jacket.
Is that your forecast, Tom?
That's pretty much it.
You summed it up right there.
But isn't it great?
It is.
I mean, isn't it just awesome?
It's sweatshirt short season.
I like that.
yes yeah exactly or if you're my daughter it's just shorts all
the time right because why make
it complicated, my daughter today took her coat off, ran
into the school i was like you might need
what do we know as parents right well guys let's talk about
our forecast here because what a
beautiful day got the fire going out here tonight we
are cooling down nicely let me show you what's
going on with a live look over the airport tonight,
where we hit 67 for a high at the airport. Hey,
there's a plane taxiing there tonight.
As we take a look at our current temperature, wow, we're down
to 51 here with light winds. We're getting closer to the dew point.
Now, dew points are about 10
degrees higher than they were this time last night.
Why is that important? Well, that means
the air temperature is going to hit the dew point soon,
which is going to set the stage for dense
fog. Already seeing just a hint of it in some
of our lakeshore communities, but as we head into
the overnight, the fog is going to get quite thick,
so I would not be surprised if a dense
fog advisory gets issued overnight for at least parts of the area.
We're dropping into the 40s
now in many communities, and that's where we're all headed overnight,
and when that air temperature
hits the dew point, that is when you get the fog to form.
A nice fall night all across the state
here with mostly clear skies just
a few high clouds pushing on through now let's talk about
tomorrow morning fog giving way to a lot
of sunshine by afternoon low 60s near the lake
mid 60s inland but we are not done
with the 70s yet i'll tell you what to expect as we head towards
the world series coming up in a few minutes back
to you inside all right thanks tom we're learning
more about a crash over the weekend
on milwaukee's northwest side around 6 45 saturday night police
say they were tried they tried pulling over
a vehicle for a registration violation oh there
goes the suspect 33rd
and hadley here the driver refused to pull over sped away from police
before police could start a chase the vehicle ran
a stop sign crashed into another car
that car that was struck hit two pedestrians
when it left the roadway police would later arrest the
29-year-old suspect after a short-foot chase.
A 46-year-old passenger in the car was also arrested.
A police chase in Milwaukee ends in a deadly crash.
This afternoon, police say officers
tried to stop a car near 22nd
and McKinley for a narcotics investigation, but the vehicle refused
to pull over and took off.
The chase ended when the suspect's vehicle hit another car at 30th
and Center. First responders took two people
in the suspect's vehicle to the hospital.
they're expected to be okay.
The passenger of the second car died at the scene. Medics also rushed
the 28-year-old driver to the hospital with serious injuries.
Charges have been sent over
to the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office,
and we'll find out more in the coming days.
The FBI investigating suspicious mail sent
to Wisconsin members of Congress, both Wisconsin
senators and the State Elections Commission.
The scare comes as Wisconsin gets ready for early
voting to kick off tomorrow.
And Fox 6 is also first to report that a suspicious mailing was
sent to the Marquette University Law School poll.
The Milwaukee Fire Department hazmat crew responded
and the university tells us the tests found nothing dangerous.
Lawmakers Gwen Moore and
Mark Pocan confirm they received mail with a suspicious substance.
The same goes for Senators
Ron Johnson and Tammy Baldwin.
She says mail will no longer be sorted at the office. The Wisconsin
and Elections Commission says it too received suspicious mail
with a powdery substance on
Wednesday. It was determined that was not dangerous either.
Meanwhile, early voting,
as we said, kicks off tomorrow.
Check with your local clerk for hours. Milwaukee opens 11 sites.
The state elections commission says if you
are returning an absentee ballot by mail,
you are urged to put it in the mail by tomorrow
to give enough time for it to get back to your
clerk. Otherwise, you can check with your clerk about dropping it off.
Milwaukee has 15 absentee
ballot drop-off boxes, including at all library branches.
Three people are charged in last week's
Milwaukee police chase that ended with an officer assaulted
and injured, and we do have a picture of
the officer's injuries that we're going to show you
in a few minutes. We do want to warn you it is
graphic. First, the DA charged 22-year-old Sincere Scott,
19-year-old Gerald Shedd, and 17-year-old
Javionte, excuse me, Thomas. That's Javionte Thomas.
Prosecutors say the three were driving
near 57th and Center when they took off from a stop.
It ended near 48th and Hadley when police
say Scott hit a tree. The three got out and ran.
Once officers caught and arrested Shedd, another
officer ran down Scott in an alley.
The next photos are going to show you a graphic, but we
want to give you context of the officer's injury.
Investigators say during a struggle, Scott tried
to disarm the officer, got a hold of the officer's firearm magazine,
and hit him multiple times with
it in his head. That officer was taken to the hospital to get stitches.
Prosecutors say that
Scott also had several grams of drugs on him.
Police arrested Thomas later that night, who was
also carrying drugs in a baggie.
Today, a court commissioner said bond at $30,000, Shed's bond at
$2,500, and Scott's bond is set at $75,000.
The dogs are free. Yeah, but for nearly 50 people
who allegedly tried to break into a lab that bred beagles
for science experiments, they're the ones
who could be locked up next.
The new pictures of the animals that 47 Richland Farms activists say
show their charges should be dropped.
And there won't be a project as big as the data center in
Washington in the future unless voters approve it first.
The big decision by a judge that could
affect future mega projects in Wisconsin.
We're back after this break.
We're watching Fox 6 News
with Ben Handelman and Tim Murphy.
47 animal rights advocates made their first appearance
before a Dane County judge.
They are charged with taking part in a coordinated break-in at
Richland Farms back in March.
Fox 6 investigator Brian Polson has more on newly released images
of the beagles that could be key to their defense.
So this is a tiny puppy.
Scars.
And he came in with an open wound on his head.
From a lifetime in captivity.
So is she in a dog fight, do we think?
Animal rights groups say 85% of the dogs released by Ridgeland Farms
between May and August had abnormal veterinary findings.
I would say heavy, heavy tartar.
And they say these images are evidence those animals were abused.
We have tried every traditional route possible,
and this was a last resort.
Amy Van Artsen says that is why they went in to get them back in March.
We didn't just go hit a random building,
right? We went to go help dogs.
The so-called Open Rescue March 15th got international attention.
It also led to criminal charges against 51 people,
including Van Artsen, co-founder of the Marty Project.
I've received a copy of the criminal complaint.
Of the 47 who made their first appearance in court Monday,
12 are from Wisconsin,
including Lisa Castagnasi of Shorewood,
seen here receiving a dog through a window,
Kate Prang of Kohler, who carried a beagle out,
and Allison Thompson of Milwaukee,
who prosecutors say was caught in a van
that was stopped attempting to leave with beagles inside.
I believe I exercised my first amendment rights.
Van Artsen did not go into Ridgeland,
but she's accused of using a drone to gather intelligence
and for arranging for the Fox 6 investigators
to meet one of the Beagles taken in March.
Dane County wants to put me behind bars
for helping dogs on public property?
Like, this feels absurd to me.
Just before Monday's hearing, Wisconsin Congressman Mark Pocan called
on the Dane County DA to drop all charges.
Justice needs to be done not just for the Beagles,
but for the folks who helped to free the Beagles.
For now, they're one step closer to trial.
Former Baywatch actress Alexandra Paul is among the defendants
who were arraigned today,
and like many others, she appeared over Zoom.
But next Wednesday, she and the others will have to come
to Dane County in person for preliminary hearings.
Meanwhile, four other defendants are facing additional charges,
including the chief architect of the operation, Wayne Shung.
His trial is set to begin in January.
In the newsroom, Brian Polson, Fox 6 investigators.
See all of Brian's stories on Fox6Now.com.
All right, let's talk about our weather.
I know it's Monday, but we're all thinking about Friday.
It's like Christmas, and we're like, should we buy the brats now?
I know.
Or should we take off all week so that we can get ready for Friday?
Wouldn't that be great?
Yes.
Well, if there's ever a week to take off, it's this week.
Arguably the nicest weather week of the year.
And I'm not just saying that.
We looked back all the way to January.
Now, we did have a week at the end of August that was really nice,
although humidity levels were up there a little bit.
So this may be one of the nicest weeks of the entire year.
Let's take a look.
Let's show you the fall color update here because we're getting close.
Now, the Northwoods passed peak, but it's working south.
And you've noticed the change, right?
The trees are changing around here.
However, we're still about a week
or two from the peak here in southeastern Wisconsin.
So between now and Halloween is when we're really going
to start to see those vibrant colors coming on out.
So make sure to get those pictures to us here at Fox 6,
because I think it's going to be brilliant
for us here in the southern part of the state,
much like it was for our neighbors up to the north.
I think conditions are really coming together
for a good fall color season.
But as we know, it doesn't last long, right?
We only get a week or two of it,
and then things start to fade and fall off pretty quick.
Here's a live look over the airport tonight.
we hit 67 for a high but we're down to 51
this evening the wind is calm dew points are in the
upper 40s and you know how i always talk about ingredients right
and you can learn so much just
by looking at this one graphic dew points
are 10 degrees higher than they were this time last night
and that's significant because with mostly clear skies
and calm winds the air temperature is going
to drop towards the dew point last night we had
the wind mixing the air around tonight we don't
so that's going to set the stage for fog air pressure on the high side
which means we have
high pressure controlling
our weather now temperatures dropping into the 40s in many
areas tonight a nice crisp night all across the area
and all across the state 51 Wausau 49 in
Eau Claire here are high temperatures today
from across the country really very fall like across
most of the country we weren't much cooler than atlanta today they
were at 76 down in miami so
we have had a few high clouds today those are moving on out
so clear skies for us and foggy
during the overnight hours now as we take a look across
the country not a whole lot going on right
and we don't have any storm systems in sight
so let's get into sky vision plus i want to talk
about this fog potential here
because you'll notice we have a little front up to the north
But that's going to fizzle out.
So high pressure will remain our dominant weather feature,
and that's going to keep conditions quiet and winds light.
So that's going to allow for dense fog to develop after about 3
o'clock in the morning and continue until about 9 a.m.
So I would not be surprised if we see
a dense fog advisory issued overnight after about 9, 10 o'clock.
We're good. And then more dense fog comes in tomorrow night
and into Wednesday morning.
So two mornings of dense fog on the way for us.
In terms of storm systems, again, nothing of note here.
Almost coast-to-coast dry.
I mean, you talk about a perfect weather week across most
of the country, including here in the upper Midwest.
So let's get specific with your six-day planner.
Look at this.
Low to mid-60s tomorrow, upper 60s on Wednesday,
and temperatures over 10 degrees above average Thursday
straight through Game 1 and Game 2 of the World Series.
70s this weekend and only a slight chance
for showers on sunday that's the latest from here
back to you inside all right thanks tom appreciate it well things
are looking pretty good for the
packers in the standings after all they have
three straight victories following a sluggish
start to the season lots of folks had their focus on the packers
and cowboys last night and that
includes our sports photographer mickey leach
his fifth quarter coming up next on fox six news at
done. It's Bulldog. When iconic teams like
the Packers and Cowboys get together, there's a lot
of focus on the matchup. Last night,
that includes Fox 6 sports photographer Mickey Leach. His fifth
quarter
brings
you
the
best
from
an
already
pretty
performance.
And you
think
you
couldn't
be
impressed
anymore? Every week he does it again. I got chills again.
Uh-huh. That's why he's the best. A judge
makes a big ruling today that could make it harder
to build data centers. Yeah, at least in poor
Washington, why the judge says a new ordinance
that would require a vote from residents before
any new data centers are built can stay on the books.
Plus, when a student doesn't show up,
there are consequences. But what happens
when it's a school board member?
The number of meetings one member is accused of missing.
Watching Fox 6 News with Ben Handelman,
Kim Murphy and Chief Meteorologist Tom Wachs.
Well, today, an Ozaukee County judge ruled in
favor of the city of Port Washington and a citizens group.
That group successfully passed
a referendum that calls for voter input
on large developments in the future. As Bill
Meston explains, it was in response
to the controversial $15 billion data center.
Nearly a year ago, citizens began the petition process
to put the referendum on the ballot.
It passed. With Monday's ruling,
those behind the effort hope that it will provide a roadmap
for not just communities in Wisconsin, but across the country.
As work continues on a massive $15 billion data center project
in Port Washington,
on Monday, nearly five miles to the south,
in an Ozaukee County courtroom,
a judge dismissed a challenge to a recently passed voter referendum.
It created an ordinance requiring voter approval
for any future tax increment district projects over $10 million.
The Milwaukee Metropolitan Association of Commerce,
joined by other groups, sued,
first trying to block the referendum
and later trying to block the ordinance it created.
While these plaintiffs have standing
in the sense that they could bring claims,
they have no sufficient or threatened injury to complain of.
For about an hour, Judge Adam Garrell read his decision,
saying the matter wasn't legally, quote,
ripe, that plaintiffs didn't show harm,
and the ordinance didn't surpass the powers of the Common Council.
We're dealing with old stuff here.
The direct legislation statute has
been on the books in Wisconsin since 1910.
That allows voters to propose and enact local ordinances.
We did not anticipate this level of legal challenge
when we started off.
Last month, Garrell dismissed a lawsuit filed
by Great Lakes neighbors against the city of Port Washington
challenging the creation
of the tax increment district for Project Lighthouse.
But a victory Monday for the group
and its efforts surrounding future developments.
This is really a victory for all of us,
you know, everyone, not only in Port Washington,
but also in other communities who have been looking towards
Port Washington for guidance, following in our footsteps.
In a statement, MMAC said, in part,
we remain deeply concerned about the impact this ordinance will have
on Port Washington's ability to compete for future investment.
MMAC said the ordinance creates another layer to the development
process, can cause business opportunities to choose other communities,
and, if enacted elsewhere in the state, risks making
the state less competitive for housing, jobs, and investment.
Later adding, finally, we're disappointed
with the judge's interpretation of the law on multiple fronts
and feel confident further examination in higher courts is warranted.
In Port Washington, Bill Miston, Fox 6 News.
A band and drumline teacher, Rufus King, in Milwaukee,
now charged with inappropriately touching multiple students.
28-year-old Antonio Kitchens is facing three charges
of sexual assault by school staff.
Investigators say three teenage boys came forward with similar stories,
saying that their teacher asked to meet alone
and then put his hand on their crotch over their clothes
while discussing their grades.
Kitchens will be back in court next week for a preliminary hearing.
A Pewaukee school board member is facing criticism from the public
and her fellow board members for not showing up to the meetings.
The board president says Mary Larson has missed 14
regular school board meetings in the last two years.
Attendance data provided by the district shows Larson has skipped
the last five consecutive regular board meetings
so far this school year with absolutely no notice.
The board sent Larson a letter urging her to resign.
She hasn't responded, but when we confronted her about the issue today,
she spoke to us at her apartment.
Larson told us she will not step down.
They won't let me attend the budget meetings.
The administration won't let me attend the budget meetings
because they won't tell me when they are.
It's a disservice to the students.
It's a disservice to the parents, a disservice to the taxpayers.
And my understanding, too, is she's
also still being paid and she's not showing up.
Here's the thing. The district says Larson's claims
about being shut out of the meetings are not true.
School board members are paid $4,000 a year.
A parent told us he's going to start a recall to try
and remove Larson from office.
The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection
confirms another case of the bird flu in Barron County.
The department says it was found in a commercial poultry flock.
The state says the affected flock will be quarantined
and they will not enter the food system.
Sports teams across the state are buzzing right now
from the Brewers to the Packers,
and now the Bucks are entering the chat.
Hey, don't forget about us because we got
the team's home opener on Friday.
The team will play against the Chicago Bulls
and the chief of sales and marketing shared
what he's looking forward to this season.
We're going into this, what we're calling
the next great era of Bucks basketball
and really starting to build that out.
Coach Taylor Jenkins has been incredible
as we've gotten to work with him
and really understand what his philosophy
is going to be throughout the offseason.
And you get a guy like Tyler Hero coming back home
and being able to play in front
of his home team crowd or hometown crowd.
And, you know, Ryan Rollins and all these guys coming back.
I think we're going to have a really exciting, energetic, young team.
It was fun because Dustin joined us on Fox 6 Now.
You can watch it on weekdays.
You can watch it 12 to 4 during the week, too.
You can watch it on your Fox Local app.
That's probably the best way.
But you can also go to Fox6Now.com and on our YouTube page.
Well, French authorities are now issuing an overnight curfew.
This comes amid violent protests and looting in the country's capital.
How authorities say they are trying to restore order.
And we've got some dense fog that's going to be developing overnight.
There's a lot more sun on the way.
In fact, one of the best forecasts of the entire year coming up.
I'll talk about it coming up after the break.
Stay with us.
Closing arguments will start tomorrow morning
in the Timothy Hauschultz trial.
He is accused of ordering the punishment that led
to the death of 7-year-old Ethan Hauschultz in 2018.
Emily Matesic from our sister station
in Green Bay has more on the final day of testimony.
A short day of testimony for jurors in the Timothy Hauschultz trial,
the state putting its final two witnesses
on the stand before resting its case.
The defense offering no witness testimony,
instead asking the judge for a direct verdict,
arguing that the state did not prove Timothy Hauschultz's guilt.
Have you made the decision when people testify or not testify?
Yes.
What is that decision?
Timothy Hauschultz did not take the stand in his own defense.
In fact, his attorney asking the judge to dismiss the case,
arguing the state didn't prove Hauschultz
was guilty of the six charges,
including neglecting a child consequences death
and intentionally contributing to the delinquency
of a child resulting in death that he's facing.
Instead, she argued the blame falls on Damien Hauschultz,
Tim's son, who is serving a 20-year sentence
for his role in Ethan's death.
The evidence that's been submitted in this case does prove
that Damien committed major child abuse
against both of these poor boys,
but there is no evidence that Tim was aiding and abetting
or party to the crime at all.
Prosecutors disagreed.
He endangered the physical, mental, or emotional health of the child
and that that failure was negligent
and because of that failure to action,
There was a cause or a relation to the death,
a substantial factor in the death.
The defendant determined the punishment,
determined the size of the law.
The judge denied the defense's motion, but not before criticizing
the prosecution and its handling of the trial,
believing they failed to lay a clear roadmap of their case.
He said the physical evidence was presented in what he believed
was a random way, shown to the jury and then put away.
But he believed the expert testimony
was the most supportive of the state's case.
After the jury was sent home before noon,
attorneys took the afternoon to go over jury instructions.
Those will be presented to the jurors ahead of deliberations
following closing arguments,
which are likely to take place Tuesday morning.
Reporting in Manitowoc, Emily Metesik, Fox 11 News.
An investigation is underway into a fire
that killed four Canadian service members
over the weekend.
It happened Saturday at the Canadian Military Training Base in Alberta.
39 people were hospitalized, with many of them suffering from burns.
Royal Canadian Mounted Police say
the fire ignited during a live fire training exercise
when munitions accidentally struck a gas line or gas well.
The fire was thought to be contained before
winds pushed it towards the service members.
There were multiple training activities happening throughout
the training area at the time.
Uncommonly strong winds caused the fire to spread rapidly
and shift direction towards the range administrative area.
There are no indications that the incident was related to terrorism.
Canada's prime minister is calling it one
of the worst peacetime tragedies in the country's history.
The State Department's warning Americans traveling
to the Middle East to expect flight disruptions
as Houthi attacks escalate.
The Iran-backed rebels are accused of striking
a military camp in Yemen this morning,
killing at least 20 people.
This follows a series of deadly attacks on targets in Saudi Arabia.
It is now the epicenter of the broader conflict with Iran.
And if the Houthi offensive escalates,
it could draw even more countries into the fighting.
I don't think the president can keep having
this without doing something more drastic, more dynamic.
If he thinks he can negotiate with these guys,
I think he is dead wrong.
And if you have any doubt about the intentions of Iran
or the lethality of Iran,
look at what's happening with them supporting the Houthis.
Officials urge travelers to monitor
airline updates and prepare for backup plans.
President Trump says it might be time for
Ukraine's president to let someone else negotiate
a deal for peace with Russia. The president is
pausing enforcement of a Russia sanctions package,
allowing Russia to sell diesel fuel on the global
market. This comes as Russia launched new attacks
on Ukraine's power grid today as winter approaches.
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky says he believes President Trump
is pressuring him to surrender to Russia.
Some Republicans are pushing back against the move.
So I would not be in favor of giving a reprieve on the sanctions.
We've got to keep the pressure on Putin. He's the aggressor here.
At the same time, we've got to lower fuel prices.
There's other ways to do that, and the president's doing it.
We're basically putting a carrot out there to saying, hey, if you
could put some diesel on the market, that would go sanction-free.
That would help American farmers, American truckers, American ranchers.
But more supply in the world market will lower the prices here at home.
The sanctions were designed
to starve Russian President Vladimir Putin of resources.
He needs to continue its war with Ukraine.
Russia started the war when it invaded four years ago.
Let's talk about the weather.
It was another beautiful day out there today.
I'll have another, please.
Another one, please.
Rinse and repeat, right?
We have got more nice weather on the way, guys.
In fact, this is one of the nicest weeks
of the year that we just started today.
Crisp at night and in the mornings,
a little bit warmer in the afternoon.
Got the fire going out here tonight.
Let's take a look.
I want to show you the beautiful sunset that we had tonight.
Had a couple of high clouds coming overhead,
which just made for this beautiful sunset.
This was from our rooftop here in Brown Deer.
And yeah, look at that.
Look at those beautiful colors in the sky tonight right at sunset.
Just beautiful.
Look at that. What
a gorgeous day we had across southeastern Wisconsin today.
Pretty cool. They're just kind of more
of a slower time lapse for you there tonight.
So just gorgeous. All right. I want to show
you low temperatures this morning.
It got chilly mid 30s to low 40s this morning.
Now, I'll give you a little quiz here in a minute.
It's not going to be quite as cold tonight,
even though skies are clear.
There's an ingredient that has changed in our atmosphere,
which we'll talk about.
But it was a chilly start to the day today,
and then we hit 67 for a high in Milwaukee this afternoon.
So we warmed up pretty nicely with all that sunshine.
So we were below average on the low side,
but above average on the high side today.
And we're going to be well above average
on the sixth day here that you'll see in a moment.
7:10 our sunrise this morning, 6:02 that beautiful sunset this evening.
So we've got the clear skies in place,
still a few of those high clouds pushing out.
Can you pick which ingredient here may have changed since last night?
So we're at 51 degrees.
The wind is calm.
Now, that actually has changed.
The wind was blustery last night.
That's one ingredient that's changed.
But the big ingredient is the dew point.
Last night, the dew point was in the 30s,
which is why the air temperature was able to drop
into the 30s in many areas by morning this morning.
But now, with the dew point up about 10 degrees from 24 hours ago,
the temperatures will not be allowed to drop into the 30s
because the air temperature will never drop below the dew point.
But what happens when the air temperature and dew point are equal?
You got it.
Fog forms.
And we're starting to see some of that fog now into West Bend,
Washington, and Ozaukee counties starting to get a bit foggy
because the air temperature is dropping towards the dew point.
We're dropping into the 40s now in many areas, and that's where
we'll stay overnight because those dew points have come up.
Very fall-like across the state right now.
No major storm systems in sight, not only for us,
but really across the country as a whole.
So let's get into Sky Vision Plus.
Let's talk more about this fog here because it is really going
to thicken up as we head through the overnight.
In fact, near zero visibility at times.
I have a feeling a dense fog advisory
will probably be issued overnight.
And until about 9 or 10 o'clock in the morning,
because I do think it's going to be foggy into the morning hours.
No concern for fog for the afternoon tomorrow, but late tomorrow night
and Wednesday, we'll do it all again with some more dense fog.
Nationwide, there is not much going on across the country,
and this is going to continue all week long.
You ready for one of the nicest forecasts of the year?
Check this out.
low to mid-60s for highs tomorrow,
68 on Wednesday, 70s Thursday into the weekend.
It is going to be gorgeous for both Game 1
and Game 2 of the World Series right here in Milwaukee.
That's the latest from here.

back france implementing curfews in central paris
and other cities as protests spiral out of control
many small business owners are paying the price as vandals
and looters run rampant fox's caroline
elliott with the latest police are now enforcing
a nightly curfew after the most violent weekend
of rioting so far the government says student-led
protests against rising prices and underfunded
public schools have been hijacked by bad actors.
More than 3,000 businesses reportedly damaged as
looters took advantage of the chaos.
There were so many people coming in and out and even though
I called the police they said not to intervene.
Police made more than 2,500 arrests over the
weekend as officers deployed tear gas
and water cannons to disperse the crowds. A thousand police
officers were hurt and many protesters injured as well.
Many of Paris's most popular tourist
hotspots have closed to ensure visitors safety after protesters blocked
the entrance of the Louvre
on Monday. There are legitimate complaints here
and we have to take them seriously and if it
inconveniences people it's a shame
but you know that's that's what has to happen. Meanwhile
President Trump is weighing in urging France to close its borders.
What's happening in France has
to do with immigration, not schools, not anything.
It's immigration. And they've ruined their
country. It's going to be hard to get it back,
but hopefully France will come back.
And the estimated damage is already believed
to be in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
And some resale sites are even warning
that recently listed luxury items could very well
be stolen from Paris. In New York, Caroline Elliott, Fox News.
